The Morticians Daughter

I sat next to Andy as Amy sat down the side dishes. I looked at what I was supposed to be eating today.

T-bone steaks, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, and some dinner rolls with butter. And for drinks it was coca cola. Not even diet. I sigh as I think up a way to get out of this. Amy came out of the kitchen with pie as my dad and Chris came into the dining room and sat.

My father sat across from me as Amy and Chris sat across from each other on the ends.

"Okay guys. Dinners ready! And I made a delicious peach pie for after! Okay, enjoy!" Amy sat and began passing bowls around until everybody had there fair share.

My stomach rumbled with excitement. "Wow! You sure do sound hungry! Dig in!" Chris said as he laughed when my stomach growled again.

'Shut up!' I told my stomach mentally. The food smelled amazing, but I can't do it.. I will get huge. Then Aaron will think I'm fat, and every body will make fun of my weight! I look over to Andy to see that he's already eaten half his food. Any kept on staring at my plate and then at me. I drowned my hunger and picked at the food.

"Honey? Are you okay? You have barely touched your food." My father remarked. I put on a happy face and faked it. "Yea! I'm fine. It just looks so delicious." I cut a piece of steak and put it in my mouth. With all the strength I had a swallowed the lump in my throat and sealed with it. This is going to be a long dinner.

--------After Dinner------
"Andy you should go hangout with Kelley! Show her around the neighborhood!" Any told Andy and he nodded. Yea, just let me go get a jacket.

Kelley you can go get a jacket at your house and I can meet you over here." Andy told me and I nodded an okay. My father was already home. He goes to bed real warily, so he can wake up for work real early. He never told me what his job was. And I don't really know why it had to involve us moving all the way out here, but I just shrugged it off. I walked outside and across my lawn.

The cold snow made my calves ache with the coldness of the wind. I walked inside by the front door and grabbed my bring me the horizon hoodie hanging up. I check to hear if my dad was awake. I heard silent snores coming from his room. I will only be gone for a couple minutes. I heard slight knocking on my door as I slowly opened it and slipped out my even checkin who it was. I turn around to Andy in a large of mice and men hoodie and a beanie. He was also holding another beanie as well.

"Here. I grabbed you a hat." "Thanks." I put it on, realizing that it helped make my ears and head much warmer. We walked out of my driveway and back into his. I didn't eat much at dinner, so my stomach growled in the car. Andy stopped and smirked at me.

"Damn, you still hungry?" He asked me and I nodded but rejected.

"Yea but I'm fine. I will just eat when I get back." He chuckled. Nah, you have to eat. Anyways we won't be back for a minute.

I know my moms cooking is terrible, so let's go get some really good food!" He backed out of his driveway and drove down the street.

"Where would that be?" I asked and he grinned at me as he drove up to a nearby corner store. He got out of the car and so did I, as we walked into the convenient. "Hey Emilio!" Andy hollered into the store, as I short, but a mixed man came out of hiding from behind the register and greeted Andy like he did.

"Andy! Good to see you again! What can I get ya?" And Andy kept walking towards the canned food isle. "Just a pack of Marlboro Reds, and please ring us up for two cans of Spaggetios and some soda?" I grinned as he picked up the cans. I haven't had Spaggetios in years. (Spaggetios are the circular pasta rings with tomato sauce also sometimes with meatballs.)

"No problem Andy! You are my favorite customer!" Andy chuckled as. He grabbed two bottles of soda and walked up to the register were his cigarettes awaited him. "Your total is $12.46. Have a good night Andy, and tell your parents I said hi!"

"Will do. Have a good night Emilio!" He walked out of the store and also grabbing two spoons on the way out. We got in the car and he packed the cigarette pack but didn't open it yet. He went into the bag and grabbed a bottle of soda and the can of goodness.
He also handed me the other half of the cans and soda. This was to good to pass up, maybe just a little bit to eat won't hurt, right? No no no! You can't eat this! I make an excuse. "I'm gonna save this for my house. We don't has any." I fakely giggle as he nods and eats his.

Oh god it looks so tempting. But I can't. I won't. "So, I have this friend and where gonna sneak him out tonight. He's fucking awesome and I think you would like him." He says meting his can and throwing his garbage out the window. "Sure! What else are we gonna do?"I ask absentmindedly staring at the can of pasta.

"Well we can show you around and show you the rock." The rock?" I ask. He grins. "Our hideout, you would say." As he began driving once more. Later we drove up a pretty quite street with some nice house. I notice that we stopped in front of a greenish tinted one. Andy got out and so did I. "Okay. So here the game plan." Andy whispers.

"I'm gonna go in the back and get him out. Can you stay here and look out?" I nod. Piece of cake. I never helped anybody sneak out, so this should be fun. "Okay. Just whistle if you see anybody or the lights come on." He smiled that half grin which I find a little attractive. I bite my lip.

"Sure thing. Now hurry." I smiled as he quietly shuffled to the back yard. I looked around the dark street to see any sign of anybody that would think I'm up to no good coming. All clear. Atleast so I thought. About 4-5 minutes later a car came slowly driving down the road.

I also noticed the driver had a flashlight hanging out of the window as he slowly cruzed down staring into the yards. Cop. Shit shit shit.. I turned to notice that Andy and a blonde guy slightly shorter started walking back but I whistled as the dropped into the tall grass, almost as they turned somewhat invisible. Think fast, Kelley. I got on the other side nearest the road as I looked underneath Andy's car appearing to be looking for something. The cop finally made it up by the car as he stopped where I was.

"Ma'm did you loose something?" The cop asked me and I only stared back at him as I gulped. "Yea, actually. Uhm.. My cat got out and came down the street. I'm just looking for him." Really? That's the best I could make up?

"Do you need any help? What does your cat look like." The cop asked me as he took the flashlight out of my face.

"Uhm.. He's a little black and white tabby. He has green eyes and he answers to the name of.. Crow." Damn, i must really want a cat. The cop nodded.

"Well, I'm Officer Eric. The most I can do is keep an eye open. Do you have an address just incase I do find your Crow?" He asked nicely and I nodded. " yea. It's 85 Virginia ave. my name is Kelley Cook."he nodded as I held my hand out and he took it and shook my hand. "Okay. Well have a nice night, and stay safe. Lots of idiots out at this night." I almost cracked up but I kept my face.

"Thank you, sir." He then drove off normal speed and I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding in as I heard shuffling behind me and Andy and his friend come up with huge grins. "Dude what did you say to him?" Andy's blonde haired pale friend asked me. "Told him I lost my cat." I giggled. And they began roaring in laughter.

"Wow. Haha. So this is Tate, he's my best friend." Andy said as he got in the car and Tate got in the back. How nice, he let me grab front seat.

"To the rock, Andy! Onward!" Tate shouted a little bit louder that usual. I covered my giggle with my hoodie sleeve. My stomach growled again and Andy's head snapped forwards me. He stared at me as he cocked his head a bit. I stared down.. "Andy! You bought me Spagetios! My hero!" Andy snapped back to life and smack Tate's hand away from the bag by his feet.

"That's Kelleys. She's taking it home." Tate breathed out a sigh. "Fine! Just drive there, I gotta be home in a few hours before my mom notices I'm gone." Tate wined as Andy drove in the car. It was pretty much complete silence. Accept for the blasting heavy metal. About ten minutes later we arrived at a park on the beach. They started out the car and I followed t where they here headed.

They started climbing stairs that lead to a pier, but on the side of the pier, where thousands on rocks, right on an before the water. Almost like a gigantic wall or a bed of rocks. Andy climbed over the pier rail and jumped lighter onto a pretty flat rock, and Tate also jumped. I got over the railing as I see both boys are ready to catch me if I fall.

I lightly shoved myself down and jumped the 6-7 feet down, as was caught in both boys grip. Tate let me go, but Andy held my waist a bit longer than normal and stared at me a little longer than he should hae, then we awkwardly looked away. "Thanks." I told them.

"No problem, Andy said as he walked underneath the pier dock over a few rocks until be were underneath, deep underneath, the bridge like pier. Until be got low enough to where we saw nothing but rocks. Not even the sky or the cement of the pier. Andy sat down on a rock that looked like there was room for two, so I just sat next to him, in which he didn't seem to mind as he opened up his cigarette pack and absentmindedly handed one to Tate an then me. He lit his, I lit mine, and Tate lit his.

I also notice a garbage can in the middle of the scene, and wood. "I will get the fire going, Andy." Tate said as Andy nodded. Tate got up and pulled a bottle of gasoline out if his pocket and pored it on the wood in the garbage can. Then before I knew it a humongous fire began. I always was fascinated with fire, so I was oka with it. "Okay!" Tate spoke up clapping his hands together, which got both me and Andy's attention.

"Story time." Tate grinned ear to ear.
