There's banging at our door. The fuck? I open it and slam to the floor. Someone tackled me. They're soaked since it's pouring outside. I roll us around to get an upper hand. The woman launches a punch and I dodge then launch a punch towards her face. She catches it and knees me in the crotch. I collapse and she picks me up and slams me into the wall. She holds me up against the wall by my shirt, choking me. It's Luciana.

"Where's your mother?!", she screams at my face.

"Here!", Mama jumps on Luciana's back and she drops me to the floor, "CASS!!", Mama screams.

I gag and cough for a second then yell for mom too, "MOM!!"

Luciana backs into a wall and Mama hits it falling off of her back. Luciana pulls back a foot to kick mama but I kick her in the hip, "Agh!!", she cries out and falls to the floor. Before I can give her another piece of me she's grabbed by her neon green hair, pulled to her feet, and slammed into a wall. Mom has her.

I kneel towards mama, "Are you okay, mama?"

"I'm fine.", she stands.

"Lucia.", Mom says to her, the venom in her voice evident.

"Haha...", she's...laughing?!

I stand. I'll give her something to laugh about. Fucking bitch. Mama holds me back. I'm not even mad because mom gives Luciana a swift punch to the stomach. "Urgh!"

"That's for making my daughter eat tile!", she throws Luciana to the floor and kicks her in the abdomen, "That's for hurting my lover!" She climbs on top of Luciana and slaps her across the face, "That's for hurting my daughter a second time." She slaps her across the other side of the face, "And that's for trying to stab me while I was taking a wizz!", mom pants, standing.

"A wizz." Luciana croaks out, "Haha", she's laughing again but this time mom laughs too. They both start laughing like they're having the time of their lives. Luciana's laughs turn into sobs and mom stops laughing, picks her up, and lays her on the couch. She curls up and sobs harder. "Wh-why didn't you tell me? I'm your best friend but you didn't ever even think to say anything. I knew you way before she did. Why Cassy? Why? Was I not good enough? Did you ever really think of me as your best friend?"

Mom looks over her in shock but then her eyes soften, "I did." she kneels in front of the couch and rubs Luciana's hair comfortingly. "It's not like that Lucia..."

"Then why'd you tell her but not me?"

"I didn't tell her. She didn't find out until I was already inside of her, Lucia!", mom yells irritated. TMI mom...TMI. "And I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd react like, well, like you reacted."

"...", Luciana doesn't say anything else until she finishes crying.

Mom goes and makes her a cup of tea because apparently we treat even our rudest guests with the finest hospitality.

I get a message on my HDS, Can I come out now? It's from Hailey. She's on my other HDS, in my room. I tell her to come. I miss her already and, for a moment, I was afraid I wouldn't ever see her again.

She walks into the living room and, without warning, runs at me and embraces me. "I'm so glad you're okay.", she sounds like she's nearly or already in tears.

I hug her back tightly, "I'm just so happy that I have even a few more hours to live so that I can hold you close, Hailey."

We sit at the counter because there's no way I'm letting Hailey go anywhere near that rabid bitch.

The rabid bitch mumbles something to mom so I tune in. "Huh?" Mom says.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted that way. I didn't deserve your friendship. I was a terrible best friend."

"'Was'? You still are a pretty shit best friend Lucia.", mom smiles.

"You mean...?"

"There's only one person who could fulfill the role of best friend in the Cassandra Lavender Pierce's book."

Luciana laughs, "Shut up you goof."

"Bring it in.", they hug. Mom's crazy too. There's no way I'd be cool with a shitty ass friend like her.

"Where's my lover?", Mom says, looking up.

Hailey and I look around and Mama is nowhere in sight. There's a scream from outside and mom dashes out the door. I follow close behind her. We see mama and... Elian laughing it up in the driveway.

"What the shit, babe?", mom calls out to her, exasperated.

"Elian brought my favorite ice cream!", mama shows off the ice cream container.

Mom and I face palm.

"It's a 'sorry I brought my obsessed and violent wife over to your house' gift!", Elian smiles, "Anyways, are you two finished? We've got to go home to our heartbroken daughter before she finds another body to hop on top of.", I feel like that was a jab at me.

"She'll be fine", I turn and see Luciana walking out of the house. Elian smiles and though she hides it well, I can see the relief in her eyes. She's relieved that Luciana's okay. I sigh. I feel a hand ruffle my hair and jump back. "I'm your god mom, y'know?" I clench my teeth. As if. "Aww don't look so vicious. Think of my actions as payback for you crushing my darling daughter's heart into bits, yes?"

I tuck my hands into my pockets, still glaring at her, "Whatever." She laughs. Damn this woman and her fucking laughing. Hailey hugs me from behind and I relax.

"Well, good evening to you all. I'll be back when the other descendants get here.", Luciana says opening her car door, "Thanks for not throwing me under the bus, Cassy."

Mom shrugs.

"Thanks for the ice cream!!", Mama calls and Elian laughs and gives a wave. They then drive away.

"So...", I say.

"Back to school tomorrow.", mom says. Dammit. I groan.

We all head inside and Mom and Mama go to prepare dinner. Hailey and I sit on the couch.

"That was weird...or is it just me?", Hailey says.

"Definitely weird. Mom's best friend is an asshole. How the fuck can she deal?"

"Really Kaidee?", Hailey gives me a '-_-' face.

"What?"

"Your friends are much bigger assholes. Sure they didn't try to knife you but they are really shitty."

I laugh, "It's funny because Beck did try to knife me once. Crazy sadistic bitch she is."

"They were so rude to me", Hailey pouts, "I'm hurt. I kinda thought they liked me..."

I lift her chin and give her a peck on the lips, "I'll deal with them tomorrow."

Hailey smiles, "Good doggy."

"Arf!", I bark before pulling her onto my lap kissing her passionately.
