thank you. I was so worried about
how you would feel.”
    I take a deep breath. “It’s weird, but you
deserve to be happy. I know it’s not going to be with Dad. He’s an
asshole.”
    “Cadence!” she scolds.
    “What? It’s the truth.”
    “Regardless, he’s your father, and you have
to forgive him.”
    “Hate to break it to you but it’s not going
to be today,” I say, looking at the time.
    “Just try. That’s all I’m asking.”
    I shrug my shoulders, and can’t resist
making a comment as I stand. “Mom?”
    “Yes?”
    “Good girls are home by midnight. Remember
that.” I wink as I walk toward my room and she lets out a
giggle.
    Barrick
    Jade is doing anything and everything in her
power to torture me while I wait to pick up Cadence for our
date.
    “Barrick! Come watch PLL with me!” she
hollers as I close my bedroom door from getting a shower.
    “No! I just got out of the shower,” I yell
back.
    “Please!” I don’t know why I argue with her,
it’s a never-ending battle.
    “I’ve got to get ready.” I hurry and throw
on some clothes because I know her… three… two… one… she swings my
door open without knocking. “Knock much?”
    “Oh please! Ain’t nothin’ I ain’t seen
before,” she says as she makes a joke about the size of my man
parts.
    “Shut up!” I say as I throw my towel at
her.
    “Bare! It’s on,” she says as she throws it
back at me and I laugh at her attempt to be tough.
    “That’s not funny. Seriously, I need you to
come watch PLL.”
    “You don’t need me to watch
anything. You want to torture me to death with that ‘A’ mess. I
don’t care who it is. I’ve got a date.”
    She pauses. “So everything’s good between
you two?” she questions and changes her demeanor to nosy sister. I
nod my head yes and try to ignore her. “For real?”
    “Yup,” I say, but then wonder if she can
give me insight. “I’ve got a question.” She gives me her full
attention. “When something’s bothering you, what do you do?”
    “Dance,” she states.
    “What about when you’re sad?”
    “Dance.”
    “Happy?”
    “Dance.”
    So you mean to tell me no matter what you
are feeling you dance?”
    “You got it. It’s the only way I can truly
express myself without someone getting in my head. Why?” she
questions as she takes a seat on my bed.
    “Something’s going on with Cadence.” She
starts to laugh. “What’s so funny?”
    “Cadence always has something going on.
Don’t you remember when you first met her?” I nod my head. “She’s
got a lot going on. We all do. She handles it how she knows best.
I’m sure she’ll be okay. Not to mention, with practice starting up
she’ll have plenty of time to work through whatever is going
on.”
    “What would you think if Aaron interrupted
your time dancing?” She stops and her mouth falls open.
    “Like as in takes up all of my time? We’re
so not like that! I can’t even believe you’d say that. I mean I
like him and all, but no, I wouldn’t want him to come between me
and dance.”
    I shake my head; she’s such a girl. “No I
meant like if he actually interrupted you while you were dancing.
Would that piss you off?”
    Jade’s eyes bug out of her head. “What did
you do?”
    “Well…”
    “Spill it,” she says with her arms
crossed.
    “Cadence kinda drifted off at lunch today
and I could tell she had a lot of her mind. So when I was finished
with my chores I saw her dancing out back. She was so intense and
looked like you do when you’re pissed. When she paused between
songs… I kinda danced with her.”
    “Like intense dancin’ or twerkin’?”
    “Lord no! The next song was slow and not
country.”
    Jade stands and puts her hand on her heart
and fake cries. “Why Bare, I’m so proud of you. You’ve turned into
such a charmer.”
    “Nevermind,” I say as I turn to give her the
clue to get out.
    “Bare, seriously, that’s the sweetest thing
I’ve ever heard. I don’t know
