Chapter 31:

60 6 88
                                    

  Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming
And the rockers' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there
O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave..

(The Star-Spangled Banner)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, AMERICA AND FELLOW AMERICANS!  

Our independence was gained through the hard work of our Military forces. And America has continued to be a free country because of our Military Forces. A grateful thanks to them!

 A grateful thanks to them!

After that conversation with Damon, we didn't bring it up again that night, when we talked. He was fine again, like he just had to get it off his chest. I was glad for that, but I still tried to be sensitive about it for his sake. 

I know I overthink. I overthink a lot, when I'm compromised with a situation that just jumps out at me with no warning. It's not a trait I'm proud of. But let's be real; not trying to overthinking is hard. Especially in my situation. 

I had so many questions. What had happened? What were his feelings about this? What was going to happen now? 

But he didn't seem to want to talk about it, and I was fine with that. 

It was all chill, till the next day, on Thanksgiving morning,  I logged on WhittyChat and saw Mike online. 

Let's recap. Mike was Kaylee's rebound, whom she met on the site. Luckily for her, they lived in more or less the same area, and met up. And, according to her, had lots of sex while she thought about MY man, and HER man didn't seem to mind that.

Yet.

Weird fetishes people have. 

Anyway, I had started talking to Mike, then Kaylee had come up.

Mike: Yeah, she's been bummed out a bit.

LilStar: Why so?

Mike: I don't know if I can say..

LilStar: If it's the baby thing, I already know. Damon told me.

Mike: Yeah, it is. She's even more sad that she couldn't go see him.

Wait, wait, wait. Go see who? Damon?? Why?

LilStar: What are you talking about? Why would she go see him?

Mike: Well, I mean, if you don't know, I don't want to be the one to tell you. 

LilStar: You know one thing that I hate? When people mention something, then don't proceed to tell 'said' thing and dismiss it. So, you better tell me what you meant by that, because he's my boyfriend. Not yours. Not hers.
