a rag in my bathroom sink.
He carefully dabbed my nose.
“You’ll make a good Dad.”
“Better than mine that’s for sure.”
“Don’t mean to press-”
“He was abusive.” He said, ringing out the rag.
“What about your Mom?”
“Your pressing.” He smiled down at me.
“Sorry.”
“She died when I was born.”
“Oh. Well that sucks.”
“Tell me about it. Sammie says Dad was the kindest man alive until Mom was dead.”
“Shit.”
“Yeah. I could go for some food.”
“Joe’s?”
“Joe’s.” he said, as I slipped my arm through his.
We road over to the place we all first ate at. we split an ice cream afterwards, and then went home.
“Yo, everyone says you and Keenan are dating what the shit? Was I not cool enough to know?” Hannah asked, as I answered my phone.
“We aren't dating.”
“Well that’s why she didn't tell us see?” Mallery said.
“Am i on Speaker?”
“I was going to say. I was going to go to L.a to smack you with Herman’s lunch.” Jenna said.
“I knew you weren't dating him. Ronan would of told me.” Dani said.
“You guys want to talk to him?”
“Yes.” They all said.
“Oh before, I let you. HE called you the skittle girls.” With a smirk I turned on speaker phone and held it out. “Go.”
“Skittles? Dude be creative!” Jenna said.
“Gotta agree with Jenna.” Mallery said.
“There isn't even a pink skittle!” Hannah said.
I chased him around the house with the phone as he tried to get away. The girls continued to chew him out.
“Alright, alright. I’m sorry.” He said, stopping.
HE grabbed my arms as I bumped into him. This shut the girls.
“Gotta go girls, I love you. Muah!” i said, hanging up.
“The attack of the skittles.”
I laughed.
“I’m kinda feeling the need for revenge.”
“Oh really?” I asked, smirking at him.
“oh yeah. Don't worry, I won’t get you know. Revenge takes time to plan.”
“Oh I’m shaking in my converse.” I said.
“ You should be. Around her they call me King of Revenge.”
“Not very creative is it?”
“That's it!” He said, grabbing me.
He plopped me on the couch, and Tickled me to Death?
“Okay okay!”
He sat down next to me.
“What kind of revenge was that?” i asked, fixing my bra strap.
“Oh that wasn't the revenge, I just wanted to here you laugh.”
“You hear me laugh.”
“Barely.” He scoffed.
“I want revenge, now.”
“Show Me what you got.” He smirked.
I held onto him.
“What are you doing?”
“ Cuddling you to death.”
“Damn it you win.” He said, holding onto me and kissing my head.
“How’s this for revenge?” I asked.
“The best.”
“Good enough for you to fork over your crown?”
“Good enough, to have you named Queen of revenge.”
“Eh, I’ll take it.” I said, putting my legs on his lap.
“Oh my god.” Sam said, dropping her shopping bag. “Are you dating?” She asked.
“Aw, my Sisters first boyfriend.” Lexi said, dropping her bag.
“Friends.” We said, hands up, pulling apart.
“Come on guys. don’t lie to us. We've been teenagers.” Sam said sitting on the love seat.
“So spill it.” Lexi said, sitting next to her.
“Spill what?” I asked.
“There’s nothing to spill.” He said.
“Why does everyone think we’re dating?” I asked.
Lexi pointed at our hands. We looked down, to our twinned fingers.
“Friends hold hands all the time.” I said.
“It takes a special girl, for Keenan to hold their hand.” Sam said.
“Sam.” Keenan said, touching his forehead.
“Why?” i asked, looking from him to her.
“Keenan’s a bad boy, player.” Sam said.
I looked at Keenan mouth open. How could someone so sweet be a player. Damn him! He played me!
“No I’m not. I just don’t want to fall in love. When things get close I bail.”
“So your a player.” Lexi and I said at the same time.
“Why are you ganing up on me?” He asked.
We all began to argue.
“Alright.” Keenan said, holding out his arms. “I’m not a player. I just don’t want to fall in love.”
“Well you want kids.”
“I’ll adopt.” He said.
“Keenan your getting married.” Sam said.
“I’m never having kids.” I said.
“Yes you are.” Lexi said.
I could see thew light switch turn on. they turned to each other, and grabbed each others hands.
“They can get Married!” Sam said.
“And have babies!” Lexi said.
“What do you think, White or cream for the wedding dress?” Sam asked, looking to us.
We stared at them, mouths open.
“Cream.” They said, looking at each other.
“Let’s make her a dress!” Lexi said.
“Oh this Is going to be perfect. I have cream cloth in my apartment. it’s satin.”
“Lets go get it!” Lexi said.
They got up and ran from the apartment with us looking after them mouths open.
“I don’t want to get married.” I said.
“Run?”
“Like Flash his damn self.” I said, getting up and bolting to the door.
We grabbed our boards and got into the elvevator.
“Close.” Keenan said.
“Were you going! Ronan we need to mesure you!” Sam called.
“For the love of everything in this screwed up world, fucking close!” I siad, pulling on the door.
They began to close, as they walked down the hall. We waved, as they stood hands on hips. Once the doors where closed we high fived.
“Wait. were are we going?”
“There’s this music slash book store I like to go to.”
“Okay, why not.”
“It’s really cool. you can listen to music, and stuff.”
When we got their they where having an open mic for teens, that weren’t so good. A kid with spikey hair came up to us.
“Our guitarist is sick can you help us out?”
“Sure Brad.” Keenan said, bumping fists with him.
“What about you. our singer has stage fright, adn only wants to sing back up.”
“What are you performing.
“uh.” Brad looked around, seeing a picture of Taylor swift. “You know Red?”
“I’m in.”
“Sweet.” Brad said, bumping my fist.
We got on stage and began to play. everyone talked and laughed, but like always the second my mouth opened people turned to us. They came around the stage and nodded. The keyboard player added some new music, to it, and soon everyone was dancing, and a few where singing along.
“Let me hear you!” I said, holding the mic to the crowd.
The began to sing a little off key.
“But loving him was red.” I sang.
Once we where finished singing we went back.
“There you are, come over here.”
I sighed and gave Keenan my board. I walked to them and held out my arms.
“Not one word.” I told him.
He smiled, looking down, and coming off as shy. No wonder girls went for him. they took my measurements and sent us on our way.
“Hey Lexi?”
“Yeah?” She asked.
“I want to go pick the girls up and drive home for two days for a concert can we use your car?”
“Who’s going to drive?”
“I’ll do it.” Keenan said.
“Okay.” Lexi said.
I called up the girls, and got them on a plane.

“Ronan!” Dani screamed running at me full speed.
I picked her off the ground.
“ I missed you so much you have no idea.” She said, holding onto me.
I hugged the other girls.
“This is Keenan. we gotta get going.”
“How will they know to be there?” Dani asked.
“I did a post. Look over my new song please.” I said, handing them all a paper.
They read over it, and smiled at me.
“Is it good?”
“Epic.” Mallery said.
we did a round of high fives.
“There she is!” Someone yelled.
A chant of my name went up.
“Jeesh.” Keenan said.
“The sound of home.” I said, running onto the stage.
“Hey guys what’s up!”
Everyone yelled.
“IS my mic on? How is everyone!”
They yelled.

“You always brought me down, with out me knowing it. You had the power, I had no idea I gave it to you. Oh I wish i knew, Oh fuck it.” i said. As the beat began to play everyone jumped up and down. “I’m invincible, there’s no time for fear now. I gotta stand strong, gotta show you what I got.
