MORE FOR THE PEEPS!

When I got out of the hospital, we went back to my dads’ place to get some rest but I didn’t want to. I wanted to go out and have fun! But Nooooo, my dad had to go all parental and say that I couldn’t do anything but rest or swim in the indoor pool. So I decided to swim since I have just spent the last two days in a hospital ward. I turned to my dad, “Umm, dad? I don’t have my bathing suit.” He laughed. “Well, take this and go to the store and get a bikini, not too slutty please.” He handed me two fifties. I grinned. Yup, he’s still a dad. I grabbed my messenger bag and slung it over my shoulder. I winced in pain since I stressed my stomach where the bruise was. My dad rushed to my side, though I pushed him away. “No. I’m alright. I can handle it. I’m fine. Really.” I reassured him. I got my keys and left for the store. At the store, I went to the bathing suit section and I ran into my mum, literally. I ran head-on to her. “Oh, excuse me.” I said, knowing who it was, though I tried to act as if I didn’t know her. “Fox? Is that you? They released you already?” she asked, caringly. “Yes they did, I’m in a hurry mum.” I said rushing myself. I chose a black bikini with red spider-web-like strings. I loved it and I hoped it would not be too sluttish for dad. “Mum, is this too sluttish?” I asked. She looked at it. “Well Fox. I think it would look nice on you. How is your stomach?” she asked, looked at my stomach, attempting to touch it, though I backed away. “Don’t mum, it still hurts.” She backed off. “Sorry, I was just worrying about you. That’s all.” I gave a weak smile. “Well, I gotta go. I have to get back. It was good to see you mom. Bye.” I gave my mother a hug. I paid for my bikini, and left my mother there in the store.
At home, I changed into my bikini, and went to the pool. I laid down on a reclining chair under the glass roof of the pool that was letting in warm sunlight. Chester came out to give me a sandwich and lemonade; he stopped about three feet away from me. He was staring at my stomach. “Oh my *** Fox. That is from Rob? ***, that looks horrible.” He came and set down the tray he was carrying and gently pushed on my bruise. I winced in more pain. He sighed and sat next to me. I looked down at my bruise, it was blue, green, and purple and it had a few cuts that were oozing this morning, but were fine now. “*** **** Fox. You took one **** of a beating. I can’t believe he did that. Don’t worry about the band or Rob, Rave told me that he was drinking up a storm before you came in and he was depressed. So I guess he figured he’d take it out on you. If he was in a right state of mind, he would have never done anything like that to you.” Chester said. I nodded in agreement. I was bored again. I started to tap the beat to Runaway on the tray. Chester started to laugh and bobbed his head along. I laughed and did the same and started to sing. He went along with me. We sang the whole song just because we had nothing better to do. “So dad, what’s the next big thing you have to do?” I asked when we were done with the song. He thought for a moment. “Well, I guess it’d have to be an Interview with MTV on the new album. Hey I have an idea!” he smiled. “And what would that be?” I asked. He gave another wicked smile. “What if since your siblings want to spend more time with their father and me and Rob are doing the interview, maybe I can convince MTV to let you and everyone to come along. I’m sure they could think of some questions to ask you guys.” I laughed. I loved it when my dad came up with these plans. Also, this might give MTV and the world the chance to find out about Chaz and Rob as parents.
