sc2.jpg As I stepped out of the car, I started to feel nervous. It looked like there was an area cordoned off for the shoot, but there were still many people milling about preparing for a day at the beach. I hadn't really been seen in public since the press conference, and this photo shoot might give me more exposure than I was ready for.

Chapter 20

The party is great, Taylor and I dance for a couple of hours sometimes fast and sometimes slow and we do a lot of kissing. A lot of kissing. I was not expecting to have a good a time as I had. When I wasn’t dancing with Tay I was dancing with my Net girls and even some of the other club goers. I’ve never really got to do this before, I love it the feeling of freedom, of getting to be sensual with out being sexual and I’m not without a few moves despite not getting to do this as a girl all my life.

“How DARE you!” he began, but a female voice interrupted him. Aunt Jane?

“How dare she? Sir, how dare YOU address my daughter in such a tone!”

“And who are y-” he started, as he whirled around to face her, but his jaw fell open. “M-Melissa Jane Evans?!”

She smirked. “I see my reputation precedes me, unlike yours.” She scowled, pointing at the door. “Get out of here, before I throw you out.”

I take a drag off my smoke as I sit on the rocks and watch the new batch of idiots heading into Stonewood…It used to be this great, great forest, almost a small country really. In fact I used to live there as a boy. Then came the curse that turned everything in there to stone. Those of us who used to live there fled…except for one in the castle.

She nodded quickly. “My Sensei’s wife went into labor yesterday. I’d been training for this for so long though, that he called Sensei Rogers and asked if he would test me instead. I still need to warm up, though.” She paused and smiled at me, eyeing my orange belt. “Would you be willing to spar with me?”

“I’d be honored. I spar with another black belt pretty often, with predictable results, but I always learn something from our matches.”

She positively bubbled. “You have a great attitude. Most girls would’ve freaked right out and run the other way at my dojo.”

Natalie smiled reassuringly. “When Ally called, she said it was really important that I meet you,” she offered in a friendly tone. Taking Andrea’s hand, I gently rolled her sleeve back. She closed her eyes tightly, clamping down on her bottom lip.

“Natalie, Andrea’s been having a really rough time back in California. She-”

“Oh my God,” Natalie gasped. She leapt to her feet, racing past Cynthia and stopped to kneel in front of Andrea, who by now looked like she might be on the verge of tears again. “Please tell me this isn’t what it looks like,” she continued in a more serious tone.

I couldn’t help but to hold her tightly and to kiss her, to try to do something anything to keep her together. I’ve known people like Shaya, she’s tough and capable and strong and amazing and like a lot of things that are tempered to be strong if you hit them the right way…

They shatter.

Bear was a lot of things but one thing I was very good at being was the professional tough guy. There’s a lot of f-ed up hurt little children in us tough guys. And from what I’m seeing with Shaya there’s a lot of the same pains there.

“Mrs. Townsend, there’s a lot that Andrea’s kept to herself over the last few months, but she’s ready to ask for help now. That’s what all this was about.”

She stared at me with a frown. “Young lady, if my daughter needs help, she should have come to me, not just jumped on a bus and run away from-”

“Mom, stop!” Andrea snapped back. “This is exactly why I didn’t come to you in the first place!” Cynthia clammed right up, staring down at Andrea. “Robin listens to me. She’s a GOOD person, and I respect her a lot more than I do you right now, and what you said is EXACTLY why! I’m not going back with you!”

Without warning, she shoved her mother away and ran away from her, right out the back door. I suddenly had visions of the time I got lost in the woods because I was emotionally distraught and confused. That was back in June, not November.

Allison glanced at me, but I shook my head. Enough people already knew about me. I wasn’t ready to add to that list just yet — neither Trent, nor Kathy.

“I know the name of a really good therapist. She deals with LGBT patients, and she’s treated both me and Allison after the Raggedy Man stuff too.” Okay, so I had been seeing Dr. Ketz before that horrible incident, but still.

Allison nodded. “Barbara’s REALLY good.” She suddenly cut herself off, staring at someone behind me. I shifted in my chair, glancing from Allison, following her gaze. Despite the change in hair color to a deep, rich auburn, I’d have recognized that vulnerable, sad smile anywhere.

I cringed when I saw Bill walk in. He was so hunched over and miserable looking! I've been watching him for weeks, and he's getting worse. And he won't talk about it! I'm probably his only friend, but he keeps a lot back from me.

"Hi Bill, how are you?" I asked.

"Fine." was his only reply. We used to talk a lot, but lately one word answers are the best I can get out of him.
