The Green Book Story [Oct. 20th, 2006|05:32 pm]
Clara heard that homecoming was coming up, and she wanted to go. Andy and Max didn't care about it nor did Basil. She was the only one who wanted to go.
Of course, I’m a girl, she thought.
It was 2 weeks away. She signed as she turned away from the huge multi-colored poster.

Days went by, until Izzy come to the game for fun. It was the week of homecoming, it was Halloween. It was Clara's favorite holiday, and she always dressed to the nines. The only thing she forgot was a jacket. She stood there next to Max, who didn't offer anything. Basil saw her little shivering body and handed her his blazer. Basil was about 5 inches taller then Clara. He had black hair which he straighten and brown eyes. Her smiled lightened his heart, spreading a smile on his face. Basil kneeled and handed her a rose.
Clara gasped and laughed taking the rose, "Thank you Basil."
Basil moved his guitar so that it was facing down, and hugged her. He breathed in the strawberry scent of her hair. He kissed her neck and whispered into her ear, "I love you."
Clara smiled and whispered back, "I love you too."

At the end of the day they decided to go to a theatre in the graveyard. Max lazily put his arm around Clara weighing her down.
He finally took it off and accidentally hit Clara, "Hey we can sit over there!" He ran over to the area.
Basil wanted to absolutely abolish Max that very moment. Basil held her grabbing hand. She tried to smile, but a small tear left her lime eyes. Basil put his arm around his shoulder, "You'll be ok."

They watched numerous movies. Max and Andy had fallen asleep on a headstone. Clara started to feel a small drizzle. It started to get harder. Max and Andy woke up running to the car. Basil and Clara stood together getting soaked. Basil wrapped her close to his body in his sweater.
Her teeth started to chatter. She looked up at Basil with her smeared black eyeliner and icing blue lips, "Tthhaannkk - Yyyooou."
Basil laughed kissing her forehead, "No problem."

They climbed into the car, which was heated. Basil lay against the window with his legs on the seat. Clara climbed between him, laying on him. She wrapped his jacket around her, covering the both of them. Basil had falling asleep. He wrapped his arms around her, stopping her chattering teeth and shivering body. While Max was driving, Andy turned around looking at them, and then shot a picture of them. Clara opened her eyes slowly looking at Andy, he smiled and winked. Clara looked up to the sleeping Basil. His eyeliner was slightly smeared, his arms still cradling her. She closed her eyes again and fell back asleep.

Max stopped the car when they arrived at Basil's house. He pulled the van door open, finding his Clara fast asleep on Basil. Basil moved a little in his sleep. Max looked down and then tapped Basil's boot. Basil didn't budge. Max then smacked his leg. Basil snapped awake waking Clara. Basil stared at Max, who was staring back at him. Basil got out of the van after Clara climbed out. Basil opened the door and pulled the bed below for anyone to sleep on. Clara put all her stuff down. As Andy and Max put their stuff in the corner, she put up Basil's blazer and grabbed one of his shirts. She pulled it on after the boys left, and climbed into the bed. Basil plopped down on the same bed.

Clara woke up around 4 in the morning to the snoring of Andy. She rubbed her eyes and turned around to find Basil sitting up in bed. He was thinking extremely hard. She sat up looking at him. She looked over the bed to see Andy sleeping on the bed below. Max wasn’t there. Clara looked at Basil. He looked torn and angry.
He looked down, “Um, he doesn’t want me around you, but, I refuse to avoid and bock you out.”
Clara rubbed her eyes, “Is he ending it? Where did he go?”
He looked at her, his eyes looked sad, “Well, he hates the fact that I take care of you. He knows how I feel and he knows how you feel. He went home when he saw you sleeping on me.”
Clara bit her lip, “Oh well, now what do we do?
Basil was still spacing out, “I don’t know.”
Clara turned on her side while Basil wrapped his arm around her.

Andy woke around 12 in the afternoon. Basil and Clara were still asleep. Andy grabbed his camera again and took a picture. He smiled at them and then went to the living room. It was still gloomy and raining. Andy shuffled around looking for the phone, which he found on the kitchen table.
He dialed Max’s number. “Hey, where are you?”
“I’m at my mom’s”
Andy waited for more, “What are you doing there? Get over here!”
“No, I can’t. It’s too much for me. I’m gonna break up with Clara.”
“Max, just get over here now ok? Who care you know they should be together.” Andy sat down on the stool.
“Yeah I know.”
”Alright see you soon.” Andy hung up.
Clara came out of the bedroom half asleep wearing Basil’s shirt that went down to her knees. “Who was that?” She muttered through closed eyes.
“Max.” Andy replied hugging her.
“Ok, well what’s happening?” Clara sat down next to him on a stool.
“Well babe, he might dump you because he wants you and Basil to be happy. He knows you two are perfect and that it’s over between you guys. You know, he really should have asked you out first like he planned.”
Clara lay her head down on the counter, “Yeah, I wish he had too. But, now I know who he is, which makes me like him more. Because with Max, I only knew the icing, not the cake you know?”
Andy shook his head wondering to the T.V., “Too early babe.”

Clara got off the chair and walked back to the bedroom. Basil was still fast asleep. She put on his Dr. Pepper shirt and wore his pair of lucky jeans. Then she put her clothes into her bag where all the candy was. Clara climbed back into the bed and watched him sleep. She was running her hands through his hair. She was facing him. He moved his arm over her waist, rubbing his face into the pillow.
Then he opened his eyes, smiling with a yawn. “Good Morning.
“Good Afternoon, you mean.”
He rubbed his eyes, “What time is it?”
She snuggled closer to him, “About 12:54.”
“Wow, I’ve never slept so shortly but so well.” He pulled her closer to him, “Most likely because of you. Do you remember what time we got home?”
Clara smiled at him, “I think around 1 or 2.”
She kissed him and got up. She went out again into the living room. The front door opened. Clara continued to the kitchen. She pulled out some white bread, peanut butter and strawberry jam. Andy walked by taking a bite of her sandwich and hugged her.
“Hey!” Clara exclaimed.
Max walked by, didn’t say hi or hug her. Clara poured herself a glass of milk and went back to Basil’s room. Max was getting the guitar from the stand. Clara looked at him with Basil’s pants clinging onto her hips and his shirt slipping off her small waist.
Basil looked at her and grinning, “Nice clothes.”
Max just continued to ignore them and left with the guitar to the living room. All he did was sit there and play.
Andy asked, “Dude, what’s going on?”
Max just said, “Dunno.”
Back in the bedroom, basil got off the bed and wrapped his arms around her. She was thinking what Max was going to do. Basil kissed her neck and cheek. He then went into the kitchen to get a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Basil stumbled into the kitchen saying what’s up.
Andy said, “Sup bro.” Max just said hi.
Andy broke the silence, “So what are we going to do today?”
“I’m down with anything.” Basil replied readjusting his pleather pants.
Clara then came to join the guys. She sat next to Max, who didn’t do anything. Basil went to go check on who called while they were asleep. He then remembered his parents were out in Canada. So he went outside with a pack of cigs and lit one up. He sat on the patio and petted his dogs. He then came up with an idea.
He stormed in and said “I know how we can get money.”
Andy replied with, “Sell the weed?”
“That too, but we can find stuff we don’t use and sell it to a pawn shop. Like give our equipment and use the money for better stuff.”
Andy and Clara said “Sounds good,” and Max just nodded. Andy and basil gave each other a look and left, giving Clara and Max alone time.
“Where are we going with this Max?” asked Clara.
Max fiddled with his guitar, striking a few chords, “I don’t know.” He looked down as he moved his hair out of his face. “I think you should do whatever you want, maybe we should fix it.”
Clara stared at him, wanting to tell him it’s over. She closed her eyes and said, “Well you can’t fix the unfixable. I mean, well we rushed into this. It’s, I dunno.”
Max nodded, “Ok”
Clara said softly, “That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be friends and I know you want Basil and me to go out. But I want the band to stay, and our friendship.”

Max nodded again, “Me too. Alright then,” he paused, “We’ll be friends, but I want you to know I love you.”
Clara smiled, “Thanks Max.”
Clara cleared her blonde hair from her face, “Well then let’s practice.”
She stood up and walked over to the bedroom. She smiled leaning her head against the wall, “Come on boys, let’s set up.”
Andy got up lazily and grabbed the mic and the mic stand. Basil got up running his hand through his jet black hair, as it swished back into his eyes. He grabbed his bass and amp, kissed Clara on the cheek and walked down to the set up area. They usually played outside but since it was raining they played in the garage. As they set up, Clara finished scribbling a few words into her journal. She grabbed her acoustic, slowly strumming, thinking of something to write. Clara started to fuck around playing 4 chords over and over again. Soon Max played along with her and Basil finding a bass line. She started to feel embarrassed. Andy started humming a tune, but then he took Clara’s journal without her looking.”
“Falling deep inside,
Where the stars kiss the ocean’s lips,
and I float on the sky.”
Clara stopped playing, “Hey! That’s mine!”
Andy help up the journal high above her head laughing, “I like it. It’s good. And we might use it ok?”
Clara grunted, “Fine take my crap.”
Basil agreed with Andy. So Andy and Clara took time to write something up while Max, Basil and Brex worked on the instrumental part.
“We’re done,” said Max.
Basil replied, “We don’t even have anything written.”
“No, I mean Clara and me are done.”
“Oh. You ok?” Basil said quietly.
“Eh, I’ll live; I just hope I can play well.”
“Just don’t let her go to your head. I’m sure you’ll find someone you can link with better.”
“Yeah, I hope.” Max continued, “So if you want, you can have her now.”
“Thanks dude. Do you want me to wait a while, or do you mind if I asked her tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is cool.” Max was watching his fingers on his guitar.
“Thank you so fuckin’ much dude!” He continued, “I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.”
“Yeah it’s cool, just ask long as she’s happy with you I’m good. So let’s get this working.” Max pulled out a pen.
“Right” Basil said.
They went through some riffs until they found something they liked which worked out with everything. They then came back to the garage and played it. On the second try it went well, after playing it they decided on a lunch break. It was 2:10om Clara opened the fridge and took out some lettuce and ranch dressing. She then pulled out tomatoes, ketchup, bread and onions. She took out the tofu she left there a week ago. She cooked the tofu in the sauce pan with soy sauce. Andy, Basil and Max pulled out a heatable pizza. They watched Clara zip around the kitchen. She sat down 10 minutes later with a TLT (Tofu, Lettuce and Tomato) sandwich with a small salad.
She began eating it and noticed that the boys were watching her, “What?”
Basil took the other half of the sandwich and took a bite. He smiled and looked at her through his black bangs, “It’s not bad at all.”
Clara giggled, “Want one?”
Basil nodded. Clara got up making another sandwich.
Andy grunted, “What are you doing to my bassist?! Feed him meat!”
Max smiled and laughed, “Hey, I was veggie once too.”
Andy got up and ran to the pizza which was beeping. He pulled the pizza out. It was loaded with sausage and meat.
Andy shoved the pizza in her face, “I love meat!” He cried.
“Ok Andy.” She walked to Basil and handed him sandwich on a plate. Clara poured herself a glass of water and resumed to her sandwich. Max pulled the pizza cutter out and took 2 slices as Andy took the other 2. They both plopped on the couch with 2 huge pieces of pizza on their plates. Clara started making the outline of the album with Basil. Andy and Max sat there for an hour while Basil and Clara set up the cover and inside. They put all the papers into a folder and back in the band’s music bag. They decided to leave to hang around somewhere, but they couldn’t think of where to go. They decided to go to Westside and into Hot Topic. Basil drifted himself away and asked for “The Nightmare before Christmas” ring set and purchased it. He then slipped it into his pocket and found the others. He then pulled Clara aside, into the fitting room with the shirt and pants he wanted to try.
He then got on one knee and went into his pocket and pulled out the rings. He then asked, “Will you be with me in Life and Death?”
She looked at him and said yes. She slipped the unfitted ring onto her finger.
He got up and looked into her eyes, “Thank you.” He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
Then they left the room and went out of Hot Topic. His arm never left her body.
She put her lips to his ear and whispered “I love you.”
He replied with a kiss. He then said, “So do you want to go to homecoming?”
Clara’s face lit up, “Yes!”
They then went back to Basil’s house and finally got the song down perfectly. The sun set and the moon was coming up. They packed up. Basil checked up on his parents little vacation, and returned to his room to see a beautiful girl lying in his bed. He walked over to her and breathed down her neck, moving to ear saying “Clara.” She rolled over and he kissed her and joined her in the bed. Andy and Max played video games in the living room with the big screen T.V. Basil shut the door. They lay there all night listening to each other’s breathing. It matched. Basil pulled her close his face nuzzled into her hair. His arms and legs were wrapped around her. He pulled the covers over them, clearing the hair from her face. He kissed her cheek. She smiled sleepily, opening her eyes. He ran his hands through her hair and kept kissing her.
He then placed his hands on her back tracing them up and down, “I love you Clara.” He broke the silence.
“I love you Basil.” She kissed him. The heat consumed them.
They then heard Andy and max yelling at the T.V. in the morning.
Basil gave Clara a kiss and a squeeze and got out of the bed. He slipped on his clothes and stroked Clara’s head. He headed to the kitchen to get something to eat, with a fag in-between his lips. Clara put her clothes on and joined the boys. Her hair was out of place and messy. She had the shirt on still with underwear.
Andy looked up from his game, “Nice Style.”
She smiled with a yawn, “Thank you.”
She grabbed her stuff putting it away and went into the bathroom to change. She examined her body in the mirror, her fingers sliding over her scars. She pulled on her gray, stripped shirt with a collar. She slipped on Basil’s soft Element sweater and her tight Levi jeans. She then put on her checkered vans. She pulled out her cell phone checking her messages as she fixed her face. Her parents decided to take their Europe trip. She sighed. She finally didn’t have to listen to them. Her mind cluttered around with anger. She shook her head. Clara grabbed the clothes and put them in Basil’s hamper in the bathroom.
She walked up to Basil and kissed him on the lips and the boys on the cheek. “I’ll be back. My parents left for Europe and I need clothes.”
They nodded. She put her messenger bag on her shoulder and left. Clara got onto the bus which only took 2 minutes. Her hair was to one side with her hairclips making an X over her ear. She looked through her bangs at the man sitting across from her. He couched which made his big cheeks jiggle like jello. She jumped out of the bus and continued to walk a few steps to her house. The house was empty and everything was in place. Just like always. Clara grabbed her clothes and stuffed them in her bag taking out the old clothes.
A perfect family, she thought, will never exist in this house, not even stable.
She grabbed James’ gray sweater and put it on. She left the house as it was, quiet and alone.

When she got back to Basil’s house they were in the back playing their music. She peeked out the curtain and took a picture of them all. She blasted music while she cleaned the big house. She started singing to “Hot Blooded.” She was singing into the broom stick jumping around and using it as a guitar as well as a mic. Clara was dressed in short shorts and James’ white button down shirt.
When Basil came in the room his eyes were red and he smelled of liquor. Clara smiled sarcastically and moved away from him. He hugged the air, falling onto the floor. She shook her head and the other came in laughing falling on the couch. She went into Basil’s room. His dogs came running up behind her, licking her face. She patted them, packing her bag. She cam out of the room and the boys were on the couch staring at the T.V. Basil was the only one with a cigarette in his mouth. Clara left the house listening to the wind and the birds. She walked about half way to her house when she heard a clinking board. It was Mae. Her heart started to beat faster, making her nervous.

Mae rolled right beside her and popped up his board. His hair was shaggy with bangs that waved to one side above his eyes. His hair was about to his ears and getting its natural color back. She looked down.
“Hey.”
“Hey.” Clara dropped her phone.
Mae bent down and picked it up.
“Thanks.”
“What’s wrong, what happened?” Mae always knew her, just like a dog knew its way home.
Her heart sank a little, she didn’t pretend to smile and say everything was ok. She didn’t care at all how she looked around Mae, because he saw her from the inside.
“The past couple of weeks, while I’ve known Basil; Max, Andy and he always get high or drunk.”
Mae nodded, “That sick is bad.” He picked up a mini sunflower and put it in her hair.
Clara smelled the flower and put it back in her hair smiling.
Mae looked down the street, slowing skating on the board beside Clara. They reached the apartment and Mae held the door open as she walked in. When they got in the elevator they both could feel the uncomfortable feeling. All the memories of them together heated up Clara’s cheeks. They walked into the house, the quite felt odd but comfortable. Clara rolled herself on the couch. Mae stood up his board against the wall and watched her.
“They went to Europe, in the summer it is Africa.”
“Oh ok.”
Since he used to know the house so well he started to gather pillows and blankets. He put one pillow on one side of the couch and the other on the other side. They lay on the couch for the rest of the day, just watching T.V.

Mae’s mom called at 7. He lied and said he was at Sam’s, and asked if he could sleep over. Luckily for him, Sam was just around the corner. Instead Mae stayed at Clara’s house. He got up and turned the T.V. off and walked back to the couch. Clara was fast asleep, and he joined her in dreamland.

Months went by after Basil went to Canada. Clara’s parents were still in Europe. Clara’s hair had now grown out past her shoulder, long and wavy. It was the beginning of June, hot and slightly windy. Basil and Clara hadn’t talked since that October. Nine months had pasted since they saw each other. It was an extremely late day, school started at noon. Since Basil had left, Clara was hanging with Fiona, Mae and Randy, sometimes George.

It was on Clara’s block that Basil saw her. She was on the front of Mae’s bike, holding onto the bars.

Basil was on the opposite side of the street with Max. “Max, what happened after I left?”
Max scratched his head, “Well she’s been hanging around with a different group, almost acting like you never existed. She didn’t even go after a guy.”
Basil nodded. “So um, where’s Chloe?”
Max smiled, “Probably waiting for you dude.”
Basil sighed, “It’s never going to be the same is it? I came in the middle of you two, then in less than a few weeks I fucked up. Then two days after we go out, she leaves.”
Max patted him on the back, “Look it’s all better now right? Now you can do whatever you want.”
“Yeah, sure Max. I called her about a hundred times. She never answered and fucking left for Canada, and falling for Chloe too.” Basil shook his head.
Max coughed, “Well um, she’s with Mae now. That happened 2 months after you left.”
Basil’s mouth tensed.


School was hard. Basil didn’t even know why he was there; he’d been gone to long. Chloe was already slipping away, going on her own. He watched every morning when Mae would pick Clara up from her house on his bike. After school they’d bike back to her house to study, or he’d go to bike with his friends. Sometimes Chloe even went. They taught her how to surf. Today was Friday, she looked amazing. Basil stood there lost.

He found Max beside him. Basil kept his eyes on her, Chloe and Mae. “Her hair looks amazing long and natural.”
Max nodded with a yeah.
“She went to homecoming and everything with him, didn’t she?”
“Yup. She was beautiful in a white dress and small orange flowers in the pattern. It was at her knees and she could turn and it swirled around her.” Basil could easily hear the love in his voice still.
Clara kissed Mae and left as he joined his friends and Chloe and she went to catch up with Fiona. Clara and Fiona looked like sisters with their long blonde hair. Only difference was the style. Clara’s was a bit wavier than Fiona’s, and not a total side part.

Basil saw her pass by numerous times, but never spoke to him. She was wearing a tight Emery shirt with her tight Levi jeans with their favorite band patch on them. It was the blue one, the new CD patch. He caught up to her in the halls, she was late for history. He tapped her on the shoulder.
Clara turned around looking him in the eye, “Yes Basil?”
He stared back almost speechless, “Um, you never called back. Why?”
Clara curled her hair around her ear, “I just couldn’t deal with all the smoking and drinking. I just wanted something else, someone who could get high off life and drunk on love.” Clara looked down at her watch while her hair fell from behind her ear, “I have to go Basil, Bye.” She disappeared into her class leaving Basil in the hall alone. He slowly walked back to his class.

After school Basil walked out with Chloe. Even though Basil and Chloe were going out, Chloe and Clara were best friends. Today Clara had dressed Chloe up. Chloe had smoky eyes with a light blue top that complimented her bust. She had a long black skirt on and her hair was tied back with pieces of hair dipping into her eyes. Clara walked out with Fiona, both didn’t have makeup on. They didn’t need it.
Chloe turned to Basil, “Um, Clara is going surfing and asked if I wanted to go, and I said yes. If you want you can come too.”
Basil slowly nodded, “I don’t surf.”
Chloe waved to Clara and Mae who were walking to their bike. “Well, she and Mae are going to get the surf boards, so why don’t we get our swim suits. I know their bringing boogie boards too.”
Basil looked around, “Lemme get Max.”
Max was walking towards them with his CD player in hand and dancing. He took off the head phones.
“We’re going to my place to drop the stuff off and get our suits and shit.” Basil looked at them and they nodded.
Clara called Chloe after they got all their stuff together. Chloe was sitting outside his house on the curb.
“So are you ready?” Clara asked through the phone.
Chloe finally smiled, “Yeah but Basil is being kinda rude and he can’t surf. I know Max can. But I don’t know why I’m with him. I haven’t seen him at all, then all the sudden he comes back and expects me to like him.”
Clara sighed, “Well honey-honey, do what feels right for you and if it’s ending it do that. I’m sure there’s someone who loves you. I know one. Anyway meet us at the school ok! And I love you and you’re amazing boobies!”
They giggled and said their good byes.

When they arrived at the quite spot it was totally empty. Clara and Fiona had set up the towels on the beach for Randy, Mae and George. Clara and Mae were on their surf boards in the middle of the ocean while the others were on boogie boards or body surfing. George was skim boarding.

Chloe giggled as she ran barefoot through the sand, feeling all the little hot rocks in-between her toes. They all could feel the salty heat beat on their backs. Chloe settled out her towel and sandals.
Basil came up to Chloe wrapping his arms around her waist. “Hello.”
Chloe slowly pushed away his arms; she gave him a slight smile, “Bye…”
Max ran into the ocean with his board colliding with a wave. Basil wrinkled his eyebrow. Chloe followed after Max. Basil was shocked and sat down. Understanding what she said.
A few minutes later he looked up seeing a girl running towards him. It was a girl with blonde hair but the sun blurred out her face.
“Hey party pooper, let’s go!” Fiona’s voice yelled.
She pulled him by his hand onto his feet. She ran pulling him along with her. Her long blonde hair dancing in the wind appearing like silk. Basil watched as Max came down the wave. He dripped down, going into a small tunnel shooting out perfectly. Fiona let go of Basil and jumped onto Randy who caught her and kissed her. Basil stood in the water watching Chloe coming down on a boogie board. Clara and Mae were right next to her. They were trying to nock each other off; Mae knocked Clara off, and rolled onto of her. Clara laughed and settled into a giggle.
Mae stared at her with a smile, “I love you Clara, always have always will.”
Clara gave him a short kiss, “Three years, huh?”
Mae nodded.
Clara screamed and laughed as the cold water rushed over their bodies.
“Well to be honest,” she said looking straight into his sea green eyes, “I have too.” She paused, “I love you too Mae.”
He kissed her and got up. He held out his hand to pull her up, she took it and stood up. Mae gave her a piggy back ride to all their stuff. He set Clara down and ran over to the others. The sun was setting. It turned the sky all shades of yellow, orange, red a soft purple blurring in and bits of pink. Clara packed up her clothes and ran over to the showered. She quickly washed off slipping o her white skirt and a shirt Mae had bought her that was a pale green that hung low in the front with a little hoodie. Clara came back and everyone was wondering where she went.
“I showered the sand off!” She showed them where the showers were and sat down on the curb. Mae came out wearing his shorts and pulling on his Luck Charms shirt. Mae was always taller than Clara, but there was one point he was shorter than her. He was about 5’6’’ while she was just 5’3’’.
Mae ran his fingers through his hair sitting down on the curb next to Clara. “So that’s Basil and Chloe?”
Clara rolled her eyes, “Don’t play stupid.”
“Ok I’m not. I did know he was going out with her I’m sorry.”
“Yeah. I guess she is, I’m not sure. I guess for us it wasn’t meant to be.” She looked at the ocean.
Mae pulled her close to him resting his chin on her shoulder, “I’m glad, because I finally have to all to myself again.”
Clara smiled and replied with me too.

They all decided to go to Clara’s house inviting everyone else that hadn’t come; Kate, Tim, Amy, Bret, Weetzie, Isabelle, Rikku, Andy, Brex and James. Mae turned on one of Clara and his songs. She turned around looking for him.
“I’ll sing it one last time for you. Then we really have to go.” The singer sang.
Mae came up behind her and danced with her. His hands found her waist; Clara smiled as she breathed him in. He smelled like the beach, hot, salty, cold waves. Tim & Kate; Fiona & Randy; Amy & Bret, had joined them in dancing. Clara looked at Mae, his eyes full of love, starred back.
This is the life, she thought. It’s how you live it, good or bad, easy or hard, alone or not. You choose what you want or don’t want. It’s all your decision.
Clara looked at the couch and smiled. Her favorite stuff animals sat there, one demonic with black and red all over, and the other sweet and cute with black and green.
I like my life just like this, she thought.
