Then We Fell

Chapter Four

A Week now roles by, today Emma decided to drive me around aimlessly through town, we mostly went through shopping malls, that was her version of a tour but I would have most appreciated it if we just went out for a stroll ...   

we're now seated at a coffee shop,  I'm delicately studying the intricate design of the rose petal in my coffee as Emma continues to blatter about something.... hey it's not my fault I can't process all the words coming out of her mouth so instead, I pretend to listen...

'So what do u think a cocktail dress or sundress'?

" Huh yeah sure...." I verbally respond

"yea maybe your right neither will do nor will the -............"  

my mind initially shuts all the things around as I continue to study the rose petal in my coffee ...

My dad's favorite were roses ....the painful memories flash through once again ...this undying pain that will never seem to escalate ... I miss him so much... 

I remember him coming back from work with two rose flowers, ...he'd give one to my mum before embracing her in a hug, then he gave one to me.  " You and your mother are like two precious roses to me ...honey both of you are my reason to laugh and smile, you mean to world to me and for that sweetie, promise me that you'll always be my happy little girl,  little sunshine" i remember his words like yesterday.

the memories still hurt just like thorns ....and just like those blooming roses what's left of me are the  thorns, a tear rows down and drips into my coffee destroying the design of the rose petal, I quickly wipe it away before Emma notices

"So we'll definitely rock that party, with these rock ass outfits, right Kay?

"umm yea sure, whatever you- WAIT What!! what party???

"Kaylee, were you even paying attention to a word I said ?"

"arrrgghh okay okay, I'll repeat...the Blackwell brothers are throwing a party this Friday night, everyone's talking about it  which is why we are going-' 

"Excuse me Emm WE?"

"but Kay you promised!"

"when?" I say   deadpan as I raise from my seat to escape her 

I'm now in the parking lot trying to remember where I parked my damn car when Emma suddenly appears in front of me and raises the keys in the air 

"remember I drove here'

'oh yeah, well shall we leave then '

"KAY first promise me we're going to that partly 

I get into the car and slam the door, she follows in as well....and inserts the key, and the engine roars to life

"I'll think about it"

'yea theirs no way in hell I'm going to that party' i mentally think to myself
