Chapter 15

When I said downpour, I wasn’t kidding. It rains on the coast, a lot, but this was truly impressive. We spent the rest of the day inside watching the rain as it turned our driveway into a lake, complete with a stream. There was no work to be done inside, and everyone was embracing the downtime. Justin and Michael’s wounds had been taken care of, Michael’s nose had stopped bleeding, and so had his split lip. Justin’s damage to his body was a little less evident. He walked around the house slowly, grasping at his bound ribs and wincing when he took too deep a breath. Michael had really done a number on his torso, and it acted as a constant reminder that teasing Michael was not the best of ideas. It’s funny, though, the lesson that Justin was forced to learn the hard way was only partially learned by the others. They teased him but always playfully, teasing him about how he might beat them up. He took it well, smiling and returning with his own sarcasm. The day passed slowly, but it gave me a chance to read and relax. I was interrupted by a small blur whizzing by my chair. It was Michelle, and she was being chased by limping Thomas who was playing the part of what I assumed was Frankenstein’s monster, which was his only option as he was still in a cast. As he padded his way over to me, I asked, “How’s the ankle?”

He shrugged, “Not bad. Itches like a bitch but I think I’ll live.”

“Good to hear. How about everything between you and Christina? Everything ok?”

“Yeah, fine. Why do you ask?” he frowned.

“No reason. Just noticed a little drama here and there, wanted to make sure you two were ok.”

“Yep, no problems. Thanks for asking, though.”

“No problem.”

“What about you and Sarah?”

“Not bad considering the whole Zombie thing,” I laughed, “Other than that, nothing to complain about.”

“Good, wouldn’t want our leader distracted by girl trouble,” he said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes at him and snorted, “Leader, I’m just the guy pretending to know what he’s talking about.”

He laughed in earnest at that, “Well whether or not you actually know what you’re doing, keep doing it, it’s working.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Michelle popped back out into the living room, “Thomas,” she whined, “You’re supposed to be chasing me.”

“Oh yeah, sorry,” he said stiffening and snarling once again.

Michelle gave a little squeal and bolted from the room, Thomas following in slow pursuit. I smiled as they continued their game and was about to return to my book when yet another blur appeared in the room, this one flying through the air to land in my lap. I had just enough time to partially catch the projectile and lessen the impact on my still sore ribs. I let out a small grunt of pain, which was drowned out by Sarah’s laugh. She settled down, and I asked, “What’s gotten into you?”

“Nothing. Can’t I just be happy?”

I put on a thoughtful look before replying, “Um, nope.
