"You could either mope around all day or you could do something about it." Kept ringing in my head.  That's it, I will do something. I checked the basement to see if Sophia needs anything, "A shower would be great." she answered. "You know where the towels are right?" I asked. "Yeah"

I waited in the main room while Sophia went to get the towel. "What are you planning on doing today?" She asked in an excited tone. "Umm I was planning on going to the grave or do something," I shrugged my shoulders. "Whats got you so happy?" I asked. "well, I can see the outdoors and I get to take a hot shower."

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked. "Eggs?"

"Sure" I brought her to the bathroom and she closed the door behind her. I got the eggs out of the fridge and I realized I only had one egg. "Well shit." I sighed

I got a bowl of cereal out for her and waited for the shower to turn off. I realized that I have to take Bella out for a walk so she doesn't become obese. Sophia had a towel tightly wrapped around her body, I noticed the she too will become large if she keeps eating the way she does without working it off. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind curvy people but, I don't know...

"Here's the plan okay? We are both going to go on a walk with Bella okay? You do not say any, and I mean ANY information about me or you or else this ending will be bad for the both of us except I'll only be in a cell instead of six feet under." I warned. "Get dressed in workout clothes. Don't make me regret this because for all I know," I moved in close to her ear and whispered "This could be your last time outdoors."

I opened the basement and she stepped in. I waited for a while and she knocked on the door again. She came out with Bella in her right hand and a leash in the other. She set her down and put the leash on Bella then looked at me. "You are to not take these off." I handed her a pair of sunglasses and she put them on. "Come here." I walked to the bathroom that she previously used for the shower and got out a random matte natural looking lipstick tube. "Put this on, then you should be set." I passed her and waited in the door way area.

"Is this good enough?" she asked. I observed her facial features and I could barely tell it was her. "Perfect." I opened the door and they followed. "We are going to run or jog about two miles, do you think you can survive that?" I asked. "Umm, I don't know if I can but I don't even know if Bella can." She pointed to the dog.

"You're right, I'll just carry her at points. Do you have water and all that stuff?" I asked. "No." She answered then looked at the ground. "Go inside and get a few." She ran inside and I looked down at Bella. "This sure will be a bumpy ride." I bent over and started petting her.

When Sophia came back I stopped and stood up. "Here." She handed me a drawstring bag with water. "You ready?" I asked. "Yep."

"Remember the rules, come on." I jogged and she followed. We ran all the way downtown and she was begging for a break. "I've never ran this much!" She panted. "You wouldn't survive a day in track" I chuckled. There were a few kids coming and I knew what was going to happen.

"Run now." I grabbed her arm. She jogged next to me and saw the kids. "CAN I PET THE PUPPY?!" a kid asked very... very loudly. Sophia stopped in her tracks and looked down at the children. "Go ahead, but be careful, she can get scared easily." What. The. Hell. "What's her name?" The kid asked while roughly patting Bella's head

"Her name is Bella." I answered for her. She gave me the look, and it was not the look a dog would give to a piece of steak. "Mommy can we get a doggy?" The kid asked. "Uhh... I think it's time to go..." the mom picked up the little kid and they started walking away.

"Okay please don't ever do that again." I crouched over to grab a water bottle. "Who is that?" She pointed to a woman with long black hair. "Do you know her? She's waving like a maniac..." I looked over to the woman and she had familiar features. "Oh... uhh" I scratched the back of my neck.

"If she asks, you're my cousin okay?" She nodded her head. "If see you're working out with little Bella oh my God!" Alessandra hugged me then crouched over to Bella. "Cutest thing ever." She looked up and noticed Sophia behind me.

"Hi." Sophia waved. "Hi, my names Alessandra... and you are?" She asked. "I'm Sop-Scarlet" She chuckled nervously. "Huh, never heard of you." Alessandra checked out her nails and gave Sophia the look. "Ladies ladies, how about we go to uhh Juniors." I interrupted before their bickering would get worse. "That'll work." Alessandra picked Bella up and we walked down the street where the multiples of restaurants were.

"So, Scarlet," Alessandra said her name in disgust, "how do you know my Trey?" My Trey? "Umm... we are... cousins... yeah cousins." She answered. "Seriously?" I whispered quietly. "Cousins huh... sounds nice." I have a feeling she didn't buy it...

"Alessandra can you wait a second? I need to talk to Scarlet here real quick." She nodded and walked down the street and sat on a bench. "What the fuck was that? Uhh we are cousins... yeah... that... way to make it so un-obvious." I rolled my eyes.

"That us your girlfriend huh? I don't like her... she's just... ugh." Sophia crossed her arms. "What do you mean by 'ugh'?" I asked. "I mean her attitude is shit."

"Well she probably thought I was cheating or something. I swear, she's a lot nicer when she doesn't feel threatened." I put my hands on her shoulders and she looked at Alessandra. "She's a fucking dipshit look at her." I looked over at Alessandra and she was looking at her split ends. "How can you judge her when you don't even know her?" I asked and she rolled her eyes. "Just take me home, lock me back in your basement. I don't want to deal with Ms and Mr. Dick." She turned around in the direction the direction we came from.

"I can't take you home, can you just survive a few hours? Please just do it." I grabbed her shoulder. "fine." She crossed her arms and mumbled something under her breath. "I'm sorry, I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm not usually this... grumpy." Alessandra said and Sophia smiled. "it's fine, how about that food." We all walked over to Juniors. "So were you guys just going for a jog or were you going somewhere?" Alessandra asked. "I was going to go to visit my dad... I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and Sophia looked at me. "So, Scarlet, where do you live?" Alessandra asked. "I live in... Michigan." 

"Michigan is amazing, I want to go there so badly." Alessandra said before she took a large gulp of her water. "Oh no, its 4 o'clock, I better go." She quickly got up and held out her hands for me to hug her. I hugged her and she turned to Sophia. "It was nice meeting you, Scarlet." she quickly hugged her too and I sat down in the spot I was previously in. "I think shes up to something..." Sophia thought out loud.
