Fires Collided

"Mason and Jason?!"They didn't recognize me at first which is pretty understandable given the fact that I haven't seen them for the last three years.I opened my phone's wallpaper."Does this help?""Monroe?!"They both looked so happy to see me."I thought you were in abroad for your studies.Since we never heard from you we thought you were gone for good."I chuckled."Nope!I'm right here baby!"After both sides finished their shopping we seperated and meet up at the cafe we loved so much."How has it been you two?!I am curious to know everything.""Well Jeniffer and her team is taking over junior year of high school.God I wish you were there to piss them off."I chuckled."Dude you messed with them all the time back in middle school.Oh that shit hole was fun when you were around."I chuckled and laid back on Ralph."I know right?Remember Mr.Thomas?I loved pranking him with you two."I turned to Ralph.

"Babe,me and these two idiots used to be the pranksters of the school.We owned the middle school grounds."I turned to the twins."I bet you two still own it.Huh?"They rolled their eyes."With my brother and his boyfriend he has no time for me anymore."I chuckled."Well Mason I hereby thank you for putting me out of my misery."Jason was confused."He came out to me years ago.I think it was a couple months after I did.Damn it was messed up back then."Mason and I both sighed remembering our horrible days."The isolation.Ugh!That was one of the worst parts."Me and Mason made eye contact."So when did you two meet?"Oh Jason is getting protective.I haven't seen that side of him since he beat my ex up in middle school.

"School.It was my first night in the dormitory and I was trying to win Dex back because we had just faught.It was not good.So my dorm mate encouraged me into going to his dormitory.When we came back Ralph and his friend were in front of the fireplace.He asked my dormmate who I was.He said and I qoute 'Who's the newbie?' and I just went.'Newbie my ass' and left.I was pissed off because Dexter didn't forgave me after I apologized to him.So I took it out on Ralph but...yeah.That's how we met."Jason and Mason looked at each other."You expect us to believe that you two faught?"Now Ralph was getting protective.He straightened himself up on his seat.Giving them both hell of a death glares.

"So uhm..yeah uh...that's how it went."I turned to Ralph.I sighed and whispered."It's ok."I rubbed his cheek and turned back at the twins."Oh my...Holy crickets!Jeniffer.She looks exactly the same.Though she is taller than me now."Mason and Jason looked at me.We had a plan already."You get the cream.You get pies.And I am distraction."We three nodded and as they left for the 'bathroom' I went over to Jeniffer."Hey Jen.How are you?""Girl you are gorgeous.Do I know you?Because I know I would remember a competition."I chuckled."I am so flattered you see me as a competition.Too bad we're not on the same leauge.Remember me?Monroe?"Her face went pale and her jaw was on the floor.I backed aways.Whipped cream hit her face then pies.She and her minions left screaming and crying."Monroe?""Bob?"He rolled his eyes."I was wondering when you'd be back to end that bitch."I laughed with the twins and turned back to the table.

"Damn you three are cooordinated."I turned to Ralph."It's like they're not twins but we're triplets.I was mixed at birth.How cool would that be?"I high-fived with the twins.We had some coffee and went back home."Seeing those two was a really good coincadance."I hugged Ralph.As I hugged I tunred into a little baby panda."You're unbelievable."I nodded."I know.And you love me."He rolled his eyes."What's not to love?"I chuckled."I can make a list if you want."He went to the window and hold me down."I am asking you again.What's not to love?""Bunny come on.I can easily get out of this alive."Then he dropped me and I came up as a hawk."What if I was bluffing you idiot?!"He chuckled."No you weren't bluffing.But I was expecting an owl or something like that.Not a hawk."

I scoffed."So...so funny Ralph."I went into the kitchen and started making something to eat.We ate and after dinner his grandparents came."We handled everything we could and we think you can be good to go to school once it opens for the second semester."I sighed."That's fantastic Mr.Fern.I-I really appreciate it.I'm going to head to my room.Good night."I left to go to my room.

"What just happened?""I have been apologizing to her for hours for what I did.I just can't seem to get her to forgive me."I sighed as my grandfather came next to me."What did you do?"He sounded understanding.Not judging."I was joking around but she took it seriously."My grandmother sat in front of me.I told them about what happened and explained why I did it."I would've killed your grandfather if he did that to me.Be thankful you only got silent treatment."I sighed."You were trying to be sweet but she got it the wrong way.Everybody would get it the wrong way.Just go in there and try talking to her."

"I should go then.I'll talk to you guys in a couple minutes if things go south."I left and I went to her room.I knocked on the door gently and walked in.Her back was turned.She wore her shirt and turned around to face me."I know why you're her.And Ralph...I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt."I sighed."I know.And I would do anything for you to forgive me.I deserve the silent treatment but I don't know how long I can go without talking to you."She took a deep breath."Anything?"I nodded and walked closer.I snaked my arms around her waist."Anything.Absolutely.Tell me and it's done.Just talk to me.Ok?"She sighed."Your nightmare.I want to know why you were having a nightmare.I want to know why you begged you dad.I want to know what your father forced you into doing.Who did you hurt?"

I kissed her to dodge the question but she broke the kiss."Don't try to distract me.I'm worried for you.I need to know so that I can help.So I can be here for you."

"You are here for me.You don't realize it but you are."She rolled her eyes."Forget it.It's fine.I just want to go to bed."She went beside her bed and was about to lift the quilt when I just blurted it out."I killed someone.Someone innocent."
