Chapter Ten

A/N: @Stephanievazq28 wrote part of this chapter, I wanted to thank her for that. ~Mekayla.

"Oh no. Oh shit. Shit. Shit. Shit."

Cher was concerned about her best friend's sudden outburst. She turned towards her, "What? What happened?"

She stumbled on her words, "I uh. I uh. Uh."

Cher cut her off, "You what?"

Pauly said, "I uh, posted some pictures of the fireworks for the new year. I don't know how it happened but somehow the picture that was taken of the three of us earlier today ended getting posted with it. It's the last picture in the post, but uh. You can see your bump. I'm so sorry, it's my fault."

She said, "Damn right it's your fault! How the hell does something like that even happen?"

She said, defensively, "I don't know!"

Cher said, the irritation evident in her voice, "How many people have seen it?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, maybe a hundred."

She said, "Can you delete it before anymore people see it?"

Pauly said, "I'd have to look that up."

Cher said, "Well look faster!"

Meryl cut them both off from saying anything else, "Cherilyn, Paulette! Do I have to remind you that it's about two o'clock in the morning and there a lot of people sleeping in this house. Now both of you stop it."

Cher said, "But-"

She cut her off, "No buts. I don't care whose fault it may have been, we all make mistakes. You know what, you both need time to cool off. Pauly go sit in the kitchen for a little bit."

Pauly said, "But-"

Meryl didn't let her finish, "Go."

She let out a small sigh, "Fine."

Pauly walked into the kitchen and figured out how to delete the post. A few minutes later, she announced, "It's deleted."

Not getting a reply, she walked from the kitchen to the living room to see that Cher had fully fallen asleep. She let out a laugh, alerting Meryl to the fact the Cher had fallen asleep. Meryl let out a laugh, "We probably shouldn't let her sleep on couch, should we? Will you help me carry her?"

Pauly nodded, "Yeah."

She walked over there before they carried her to her own room before going to theirs.

The next morning, Meryl and Pauly had gotten up earlier than everyone else to make breakfast for everyone. Though Pauly partially wanted to help to try to make it up to her best friend about what had happened. They were making a rather large breakfast since they were cooking for thirteen people.

Cher was still mad at Pauly just not as mad as before they all went to bed. She wasn't quite sure how she got to her bed, but she figured they must have carried her. She had woken up to the smell of food being made from the kitchen. She didn't know who was making food, but it was good smelling. She decided to go investigate after she got dressed. Pauly noticed her the second she walked into the kitchen. She said, "I know you are probably still at least somewhat mad, but I just thought I'd tell that the post has been deleted."

Even if she was still kind of mad at her, she wasn't a child she had to answer her. She said, "Thanks for deleting it."

While they had been doing that, Meryl had gone to tell everyone that breakfast was ready. She and Pauly had made a lot of food, well enough for thirteen people. They had made things such as; pancakes, waffles, eggs, and hashbrowns. Soon enough they were all eating, with conversations going among them. Chaz, his girlfriend, Elijah, and his wife had to leave after breakfast to go get things done. After they said goodbye to the their mom, Georgia got her daughter's attention, "Whatever you are mad at her for, let it go. You've been best friends for over forty years, whatever it is, isn't worth it."
