We got back home and I walked into the house first after I unlocked the front door. I got to the living room and seen 2 girls I'd never seen before. One was sitting next to Goth and the other was watching the tv casually.
"Um..hi?"
Goth looked up and said,"Stephanie, this is my friend Emery. I wanted you to meet her so I invited her over."
She had shades on which made me a little curious.
"Why the shades?" "I just don't like showing my eyes too much." "Okay. Who are you?"
I looked towards the other girl.
"I'm looking for Emily. She said she was here. I'm her best friend Katie."
Emily came from behind me and Katie stood up.
"Oh God."
Emily smiled and hugged Katie tightly.
"Oh my fucking goodness. Look at you."
Katie let Emily go and looked at her. She put her hand on her mouth and looked her up and down.
"I've never seen you so healthy. And you're smiling.."
She started breaking down crying.
"This is really me Katie. I'm back and I'm better than ever." "You look better. I missed you." "Richard's gone Katie. He's gone and he's never coming back. So now I can be me again. Everyone in this house are some people I've met along the way and they're good people. And I'm so happy that you came to see me."
Katie shook her head and just latched onto Emily again.
"You should stay here with me for awhile." "I can stay for the day if.."
She looked around at us and smiled slightly.
"You guys will have me."
I smiled and said,"I was planning on making dinner. Any requests?"
Jamie said,"I was thinking a wing night."
She pointed at me and nodded her head as if it were the best idea in the world.
Tracy said,"A what?" "Babe. We talked about this. Wing night. When we eat like we're at buffalo wild wings but it's homemade. Tonight would be perfect for it and I'm hungry as fuck so be quiet while I try and get my best friend to make this."
I laughed and so did Katie.
"Jamie it's fine. I'll make it. What movies are we gonna watch though is the question. You pick a really good one for the first one I'll make extra hot wings just for you. Go." "Paranorman."
I nodded and Jamie nodded back.
"You're good. But what's your next move?" "Flushed Away." "You trying to bring back my childhood or something?" "Maybe I am."
Katie said,"Wall-E."
I nodded and said,"Yes. What's after that though? Who's going to step up right now and put the icing on the cake?"
Emery spoke up and said,"Fantastic Mr.Fox?"
I smiled at her excitedly and nodded my head.
"You guys are good at this. After that we can do Nemo."
Goth smacked his lips.
"I was gonna say that." "I'm sorry Goth. But in return you'll be eating some good food." "True."
I smiled and went into the kitchen. I then seen Gus out by the pool. He was looking down at the water and I sighed. I went out there and called his name.
"Gus? Why are you out here?" "I was just looking at the water." "Well, what are you thinking about?" "I was just thinking..maybe I should leave for awhile...on my own."
I looked at him and scrunched my eyebrows in confusion.
"Why? What happened? Is it me? Is it Haidyn? Was there something I said?" "No. It's none of the above."
I took a pause and sighed as I looked down at the water.
"Is it someone else?" "No. No Stephanie. There's no one else. I just thought I'm always hanging around here and I might be able to give you guys a break." "Well, if you think this is what's best then I won't stop you. But, if it's about me or Haidyn then..I'm sorry."
I got up but Gus grabbed my arm before I could walk away.
"It's not you guys. I promise."
I sighed and continued going into the house.

I just wanted to go somewhere where I could clear my head for a bit. It wasn't because of anyone that I wanted to. I just wanted to. I got up from by the pool and went for a drive. As I was driving I played fats'e's song room to breathe. I was in my feelings and I didn't know why. But there was such a bright energy forming in the house and Goth and Emily had new people over and I just didn't want it to seem like I was off.
I had my window rolled down. The fresh breeze just blowing on my face. I was just thinking about everything and anything. I wasn't thinking about anything specific at all. After awhile I just turned the music down and sighed.
"Why am I thinking so much?"
Right after I said that my phone started ringing. It was Stephanie. I looked at her name and half smiled. I declined the call and kept driving.

"Em pass me the bbq sauce please." "Kay."
She passed it to me then Emery looked up from her chicken wing that she was tasting.
"Hey Stephanie?" "Yeah?" "This chicken is so damn good." "Thanks."
Jamie then came in the kitchen and looked at me confused.
"Hey, where'd Gus go? The boys were asking for him." "I honestly don't know. I tried calling him when he left earlier but of course he didn't answer me." "Are you guys okay?" "I think so. I'm not sure. He said he wanted to go away for awhile on his own." "Oh goodness." "It's okay. I'm sure he's okay and everything between us is okay so, it's alright." "Well Goth is also begging for more bbq wings."
I then heard Haidyn laughing and I looked to see where she was. I finally seen her and she was playing with Katie. I smiled to myself and continued making the rest of the bbq wings.
