Forest City 4 Chapter 10 -Love-

-

    Later that night, mom came out to the living room to chat, I was trying to flip through the channels to find something to watch: a rated R superhero movie, more cartoons, or a cheap religious movie rerun.

    She started, "The party's tomorrow right?"

    I nodded my head trying to ignore what happened earlier that day.

    "I'm sorry that he tried to ask about it," mom apologized.

    "It's just that I thought that Bonnie and I were through forever, that we would stop talking, but lately..." I paused, "it seems like she's been trying to wedge herself in Mac and my relationship." I hadn't told mom what happened at the dance and I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate it either.

    "Do you remember what your father said to me when Bonnie broke up with you?" mom asked.

    "It was the first year after you had divorced, of course I do," I admitted, "But I can't seem to remember that year anymore."

    "He told me that you were going to end up just like him and me, that you would never be able to love someone," mom said trying not to sound all choked up, "now that Mac has come into your life, our life, I've seen you become happier and after so many years of being alone I now see what an influence they have on you... and myself as well. Seeing you happy makes me happy, Cobalt, I may never find someone to love ever again, but I have you to love and that makes me happier than anything else in the world."

    "I don't know what to say about that," I began, I could feel tears flooding in my eyes, but for the first time, I ignored them. All I wanted to do right now was hug my mom, to show her how much I loved her back. She didn't care who Mac was, mom just wanted to see us in a better place that Bonnie and I were in.

    I didn't tell mom about the dance, I didn't want her to know that I hurt Mac or that Bonnie used me to hurt Mac in the process. I had a feeling the truth would come out eventually, but I felt that mom wasn't ready to hear it yet... maybe never.

Forest City 2 Chapter 10 -Wolf in Sheep's Clothing-

    "You." Mr. Lupin spat threateningly.     I sat in silence waiting for the attack.     "You are in so much trouble Macadamia," Lupin's voice began to rise in volume as he approached me, he continued while still taking steps towards me, "You think this game your playing is so smart, that you can ruin someone's life because you hate them."     Don't let his words get to you, I thought to myself, it's not worth it .     "Well, listen here, I hope that you get expelled and sent back to your father's farm," Lupin's words practically wounded me. He was awfully close to my face, his snout almost touching mine and he said silently, "Between you and me, I will win this little game you're playing." He took his hands off of the armrest of the chair I was sitting in, I hadn't noticed that my arms were wrapped around my chest in defence.     "Conall, get back in here, now," sounded Mrs. Chordata from the ...

Forest City Chapter 9 -Liar-

    It was around 3:52 when Aunt Hazel and I arrived back at her apartment. She has 8 minutes to get ready for tea with the ladies and I had already made my way up the stairs and into my room, remembering to not hit my head on the ceiling. I gazed out the window, hoping that Cobalt would be waiting, his lights were off and I didn't get to see his handsome blue eyes. My phone buzzed.     Cobalt: 3:53 "Expect to see me with no fur lol."       -Cobalt sent a GIF-     -Mac joined the conversation-     Mac: 3:53 "Lol how's detention going."     Cobalt: 3:53 "Dad was furious, Tora got away with it. D:<"     Mac: 3:54 "Sorry to hear about that, any other stupid consequences."     Cobalt: 3:54 "Lunch detention..."     Mac: 3:55 "What about Bonnie, she's going to drive Monty up the walls with her constant staring and gossiping."     Cobalt: 3:55 "Bonnie's been glaring at you two durin...

Forest City 2 Chapter 1 -October-

    It has been a month since Bonnie's disastrous birthday party, she hasn't talked to me since then, I don't blame her. I stepped over a few piles of dirty laundry in my room and opened my big dresser and all of it's glorious drawers. As a kid, I used to play in dresser drawers, I mostly rummaged through my parents and sisters dressers looking for something fun in them. I never was allowed in my brother's rooms, but I'm sure all that I'd find in their dressers are a bunch of old superhero comics or... I don't know... nut free snack foods. My brother Sorrel is a topic of conversation, he's deadly allergic to tree nuts, which is ironic because, well, we're squirrels. I threw that thought out of my brain, none of my clothes were clean, all my drawers were empty, and most importantly, Aunt Hazel was out of town. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE A WASHING MACHINE!!!     Our other neighbor, that lives on the opposite side of the Lupins, to the left of...
