california here we go (sequel to gas)

chapter twelve

As a collective audience, one must wonder about the many other characters involved within the story. This chapter will disclose the inner workings about one of specific character. Kayla. The best friend of the protagonist of such a story. What ever happened to her? Had it crossed the readers mind?

Nonetheless, this chapter serves as an explanation.

Kayla had stayed in Texas. Change of scenery was not something that Kayla had idealized. Although her dear friend descended on the Los Angeles plain, she stayed.

Today was a special day for Kayla. She would be meeting with Shania's family. As she was Shania's best friend, she was also close with her family.

Kayla's car rolled up the driveway, and she put the car in park. She pulled the keys out and sighed. She dreaded talking to her family. It was important to talk to them for her, they were the last pieces of Shania she had here.

She walked up the front porch and hesitated. Was this really the best idea? Why not call her? She knocked on the door anyways, and was greeted by Shania's mother. She was a short, brown woman, with light honey eyes. They stood out from her dark hair and light brown skin.

"Hola Kayla. ¿Como has estado? ¿Todavía trabajas en el mismo lugar?" she bombarded her with questions. She wore a false smile as she spoke, it was simply her formality.

"Estoy bien? Si trabajo..?" Kayla barely knew spanish. She was trying to be nice to the woman in front of her. She could tell how hurt the woman had been behind this strong facade she wore.

"Pásale.." the woman spoke, motioning for Kayla to step inside.

Kayla sat on their brown corduroy couch. It faced the television perfectly. She waited for Shania's sister to come to her. When she finally saw her, she got up.

"Hey, it's been a while. Why are you visiting? Shania's in California. Last time I checked none of us were Shania. Got Mo Fuckin Damn" she said.

"This place just reminds me of her, and I miss visiting." she explained.

"Well go see her yourself. I'm busy."
