The next day,
which was Friday, Lemonade looked around the lunch room for a new place to sit. She ended up sitting with Bug & Mouse.
“Why are you sitting
here?” Bug asked.
“Because you were right
about Sean” Lemonade said. “I should have been careful, like you said”
“What happened?”
asked Mouse.
Sean walked up to the table.
“Lemmy, why aren’t you sitting with me? We had fun last night, admit it!”
“You RAPED me, Sean”
said Lemonade.
“Whatever” Sean
walked away.
“He raped you, too?”
Bug asked.
Lemonade nodded. “Did
he rape you?”
“Yes” Bug said.
“That’s why I told you to be careful”
“Wow” said Lemonade.
“And I didn’t listen”
“You can sit here from
now on if you want” said Mouse.
“Thanks”
Lemonade smiled.
Later on, it was time for
Dan’s visitation. It was a closed casket service.
Pixie carried London as Poser
limped over to the casket. (He had just gotten out of his wheelchair the day before)
“Aww, what a cute baby”
the girl standing by the casket said.
“Thanks” said
Poser. “Are you Kaylee?”
The girl nodded. “Who
are you?”
“I’m Poser. And
this is my girl Pixie and our daughter London Nicole”
“Oh, Poser, I’m
so happy to see you!” Kaylee threw her arms around Poser.
“Dan talked about you
a lot at group” Poser said.
“I would’ve liked
to go to one of the groups with Dan, but he never let me” Kaylee said. “He always said he didn’t want me
to feel uncomfortable around a bunch of alcoholics”
