Chapter 23
The little get together interrupted part 2
Beth squirms uncomfortably in her ghế, chỗ ngồi while Cal tells her about this weird amazing adventure he went on, Grey looks about ready to rip Cal in half and jump off a cliff at the same time with Talia getting in his personal bubble. Ryler helps calm me down bởi sitting tiếp theo to me on the đi văng and talking about nothing, yet everything in particular. And Adam tries to bring back the lively mood getting another boarding game out and starting it.
I snort, ready to laugh my head off. “Battleship? That’s a two player game, idiot. Get out life.”
Adam glares at me. “You know how much I loathe life.”
I have to hold in my giggles. “Just get it, crybaby, that happened years ago, when bạn were a little buck toothed loser. bạn can’t seriously be holding a grudge over a game bạn haven’t played in years.”
Adam shrugs. “The memory still haunts me to this day.”
Ryler looks at me, and I laugh. “Okay, so were playing life when we were younger and back then our parents thought it was the only way to get us to shut up. So…were playing the game and Adsm’s predictions was he was never going to get a wife hoặc children, he was never going to be successful, and…something else. But he just had bad luck.”
“In life!” Adam shouted.
“In the game!” I insisted. “That hoặc our parents set it up.”
Adam looked thoughtful. “I’d bet.”
Meredith rolled her eyes, but I didn’t miss the glance of awe when she looked at him. Yep, my brother was quite a looker, and Meredith couldn’t help but notice.
“Ooh!” Talia boomed. “Life! Yay! I wonder what’s in store for my future, but I bet I know.” She looked at Grey when she đã đưa ý kiến the last part.
“No bạn don’t!” Meredith barked.
“So I went camping once, during winter, stupid really. But my parents wanted me to go.” Cal was telling Beth.
Beth shrugged. “Must’ve been…cold?”
“So…apparently what’s going to happen at the end of this game is…” Sage paused. “I’m going to marry a hot billionaire, while Ali’s stuck in jail, and Adam is just a failure.”
Adam glared at her. “I. Am. Not. A. Failure. I will be successful!” He thrust his arm out, accidentally knocking his cup out, making the liquid splatter all over Meredith.
Ali whistled. “Yippy dog woe, your actually good at something!”
I laughed, turning back to Ryler. “Aren’t we a crazy bunch?”
Ryler grinned. “Better than being normal, at least were exciting.”
I look back to the spectacle at the table. “Yes we are.”
Ryler looks at me, carefully. “What’s with the hatred between bạn and…Barbie doll?”
I roll my eyes. “I wouldn’t say hatred, I’m trying. But she just gets so…I don’t know. We’ve never really talked before, she’s barely acknowledged me before. I guess we just got off at the wrong start, but I tell, that girl makes me so angry.”
Ryler shrugs. “What I don’t get is that it seemed that her and that excuse of a guy came here as a couple. But she’s all over Grey, and he’s all over Beth.”
“What?” I ask.
Ryler shrugs. “Beth looks ready to bolt, and he keeps on whispering in her ear, it looks like she wants to shoot herself…” he pushed. “Twice.”
I shrug. “Strange world, bạn think of one thing in the beginning and in the end…you get something else.”
Ryler doesn’t seem to realize that I’m looking at him intently, but I blush when I do. I feel a bit bothered at the fact that Cal might be going after Beth, but it’s mostly because Grey and Beth are together, and Beth doesn’t like him, not because I have a crush on him.
Or had, I thought, smiling at Ryler, definitely had.
“What are bạn smiling at?” Ryler asks.
I shrug, still smiling. “Just about the little things…that can make a difference.”
Ryler smiles too. “Such a big difference too.”
Right now, it feels like the whole world has disappeared, and it’s just me and Ryler. And I like it that way.

It's sad
It's the truth
Fighting through what it is
But I'll be stronger
I've gone through
Mounds of pain
I've been through
The deepest waters
Nobody can change my past
It's the truth, and it changed me
Sad to even hear the truth
Sad to...say the truth
Reality's always sad
And no one's gonna escape it.
It's how I became who I am today
It's how I didn't brag.
Why does this have to happen?
Why did it have to end?
Why does the world have to be so confusing?
Why did the fun have to end?
The world's just a crazy place
And no one's gonna stop that thought
Cause I'm broken for good...
Because of...the truth.

Tell me darling why bạn cry,
Your tears stain the giường bạn lay upon
Could it be bạn miss the ones bạn clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to bởi a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can bạn rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can bạn be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Your tears stain the giường bạn lay upon
Could it be bạn miss the ones bạn clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to bởi a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can bạn rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can bạn be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Soar, soar
Soar beyond your wildest dreams.....
There's no limit
On how much bạn can soar
No one can
Break your wings and kill you
Soar for the skies,
Don't let the feelin go
Just soar, soar like never before
No one's gonna stop you
From believin
There wasn't a time
When nobody could never soar
But there was a time
When people never believed
And tomorrow
Isn't the ngày to fall
And nobody's gonna push bạn down
Oh almighty eagle
We're gonna be the powerful eagles
We're not gonna let anyone
Be our ruler,
We're not anyone's slave
Almighty eagle
Oh soar, soar towards the sky's height
And soar toward your dream
Let nothing keep bạn away
Almighty eagle
Soar beyond your wildest dreams
And we're gonna fly tonight
Let nobody keep us down.
Life can be hard. Especially for me, Lily West, your almost-average 16-year-old girl. Most people think it's weird I'm bald. Others think I'm going to die. Then there's the occasional person who tries to take pity upon me. I'd rather they not, because some say it like I'm a helpless little rùa, con rùa on its back. Sometimes I wish I die already, and sometimes I wish that I was a completely different person. Yes, it's tough having cancer. I just wish that they would respect me for a person instead of a helpless little bug.
I stood bởi you,
Ever so proudly,
In the darkness of war,
Never betraying you,
Always bởi your side.
I protected you,
Never let bạn down when
Things got rough,
I stood bởi you
Through ngày and night,
Summer and winter.
Stand bởi me now,
Be my loyal friend,
Never falter when the Fuhrer
Shoots his nasty gaze down at you.
Be strong,
My faithful friend.
Be strong,
And protect me from the evils
Of the world.
Be strong,
Never falter,
And always have courage.
Go now, my faithful friend.
Run free.
