Chapter 11
(Riley's P.O.V.)
Katherine and I
spent the whole night chattering about the things we could do
until I left. Her friend Auden came up to her,
and she introduced us. Her family was the one who was buying
my house. Soon enough we were all chattering together.
Katherine's phone rang at 10, and after a quick hug she
ran out of the yard to meet her mom in the
car. Auden and I talked for another half hour
till she had to leave as well.
Around 11 I decided it was best if I went home to meet the
home wreckers. Not fair, I tell myself, I really don't
even know what she's like.
I walk in the door, and see Marylin and Dad
cuddling, God, he looks happy. Smiling at them, I answer
their questions and bolt up to my room. Dad was saying
something to me, but I didn't catch it as I flipped on
the light and flopped onto my bed. Or, rather, onto the
people in my bed.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" The girl screeched at me, as my
door opened and Dad and Marylin walked in.
I just stared in shock. Marylin looked at the girl,
"Karen, what are you doing?! One, I told you to sleep on
the air mattress, this is Riley's room. Two, why is Bobby
here?! I told you no." She said nodding to the boy in
bed with her.
He looked at Karen shocked, and then said "I'm sorry
Ma'am, she told me you said it was okay. I'll go. I
didn't mean any harm." From the look in his eyes I
could tell it was the truth, and Marylin believed him.
Watching as he put on jeans and a shirt, and grabbing his
shoes left the room, walked down the stairs, and out of the
house.
"Three-" Marylin began. But Karen cut
her off, yelling all sorts of mean things
at Marylin and me, she threw on a shirt and
shorts, slipped on flip flops, grabbed her phone and then
left to meet Bobby. Leaving Marylin looking like
she was about to cry.
And granted she probably was, but at that moment Samantha
walked in having been woken up by all the yelling. She
wanted Marylin to come stay with her. And I
couldn't help but feel bad, after all Karen just said,
she was putting on a brave face
for Sammi.
I shook my head at her as she agreed to go with Sam.
"No, you go back with Dad, I'll sleep with
Samantha." I say smiling at the little girl, who's
happy to be able to hang out with her 'new big
sissy'. Marylin tried to decline, but I
was already being led from the room.
"Riley," shw said as she touched my
shoulder. I turned to look at her. "I'm sorry you
saw her like that, she can be really nice. She's just
difficult. Please, don't be too angry with her." I
just smiled and nodded. Marylin looked down, obviously
upset, with Dad comforting her. Samantha dragged me to the
guest room. And I looked back at Marylin and Dad one
more time.
Maybe she wouldn't be so bad after
all.
Short?
Boring?
How did you like it?
