Reviving Talise

Chapter 18

I was cooking when Seth came into the kitchen.

"Whatcha making?" he smiles.

"Cake" I reply stirring the batter.

"Any reason?"

"Nah, I just feel like cake" I say.

"What are you going to do about the surgery" he says.

I stop stirring and look at him. I gave him one of those why-did-you-bring-it-up look.

"Sorry but I'm curious too" Seth says.

"It's fine, but I just kinda wanted to avoid the subject for today" I say going back to work on baking.

"Talise, you've been avoiding the subject for a week. You have to have your decision today. Have you at least thought about it?"

And here comes another headache.

"Of course, Seth, its just I can't live every second of the day worrying about it" I argue as I put the batter into the oven.

"But you can avoid it either"

I sigh and rest my elbows on the counter.

"What if something goes wrong?" I ask.

"They've been doing these for years, Tal. The chance of something going wrong is rare"

"But still there" I add.

"True, but if your honestly commited to getting this surgery performed, go for it. I'm on your side here." He says.

I groan and check the cake.

"Whats the deadline?" I ask as he walks out of the kitchen.

"Tonight!" he yells.

I take my cake out and let it cool before I frost it. I wish life was as easy as a cake. You mix all these ingredients together to get a masterpiece. Take one away, you get me, a mess.

The doorbell rang, and I opened it to have Christine, Aaron, Trey, and Joel rush in.

"I smell cake!" Christine sang as she plopped herself on the couch followed by the rest of the guys. Matt and Seth came downstairs holding sodas, chips, and boxes of pizza.

"No one ever told me of a party!" I jut out my lip.

"Aw! You can come too!" Joel says.

"I thought making a cake gave you an automatic invitation" I smile as I sit on his lap and flip on a football game.

The guys started cheering as me and Christine headed in the kitchen to frost the cake. We grabbed the icing and iced the cake as we talked.

"Do you have your choice made" she asks.

I purse my lips and shake my head.

"Hey, it'll be okay. Which ever one you pick." she says.

"What would you do?" I ask.

"I would get the surgery" Christine replies.

I nod and dip my finger in the icing. I licked the sweet icing and smiled. Days like these I live for.

It was late afternoon and we were cleaning the mess up. I was picking up soda cans and pizza boxes. As I bent over, someone picked me up and threw me around.

"Joel!" I screech.

All the guys laugh as I fall onto the couch with a thump.

"You guys are jerks!" I squel as I launch a leftover pizza crust at Aaron.

"Oh, its on!" Aaron yells. We all start throwing pizza and chips and each other. Everyone laughing and screaming. I jumped onto Joel's back and we both fall to the ground. Me and him laugh as I got off from on top of him. No one notices us because they're too busy pelting pizza at everyone.

I helped Joel up and kissed him on the lips. We just stood there kissing until someone put a piece of ice down my shirt. I jerk foward making it look like I tried humping Joel.

"Wow, you really get into it" Joel chuckles.

"No! Ice-ice down m-my back!" I scream.

I turn around to see everyone laughing but Trey was on the ground cracking up histarically. I immediatly knew it was him. I grabbed a slice of leftover cake. He didn't notice me but everyone was waiting for me in anticipation.

I slammed the paper plate in his face, making him look like an icing monster. He got up and gasped. Everyone was practically dying of laughter. We all grabbed a slice of cake and ran out to the pool. We started have a cake war. Grabbing icing and chucking it at everyone. By the end of the war, we were covered in cake.

I kissed Joel real quick on the lips. He pulled back.

"Sweet" he smiled. I smiled back and looked into his eyes. Christine blasted the radio and Wild One by Flo Rida came on. Joel stepped back 3 paces.

"Why did you back up?" I ask. But I was immediatly rammed by someone. I fell into the pool with a big splash. I came up for air and frowned.

Matt!

"I can't believe you just pushed me in!" I acted like I was about to cry.

"Oh I really sorry" Matt comes over and offers a hand. I take it and jerk him in the pool. All the guys were laughing. He came up and smiled.

"Touche, little sister" He smiled.

Everyone started jumping into the pool. We started singing to all the songs playing. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen came on and me and Christine hopped out of the pool and stood by the ledge singing and dancing to it. All the guys groaned but we didn't care. I loved this song.

At the end of the song, we jumped into the pool. Everyone was having a good time.

We cleaned up our mess and ourselves. Then everyone gathered around the living room waiting to hear my decision.

"So?" Christine said as everyone got comfy. I held Joel's hand tightly and took a deep breath.

"I don't want surgery"
