Later on that day me Mary and her friend Jermaine went walking towards the center of the town. After having eaten 3 slices of apple pie ,1 chicken pot pie and roasted chicken ,well when I mean we ,I mostly mean me :)
When we first got there, there was a crowd of people holding hands in an enormous circle ,like we all were in the movie The Grinch. While we're walking up I see a woman that looks like the typical housewife standing next this man who looks like the typical jerk husband ,who would naturally have a housewife They were waving over at Mary and Jermaine. It would seem like they know you guys. they look over "yeah that's Tara ,and Philip their our friends ,come on me and Jermaine will introduce you". Mary and Jermaine walk me over to them with me following . "Tara ,Philip this is my sister Madison (Crystal)" ,Jermaine spits his drink out "wait all that time we walked over here and you didn't tell me this was your sister" ,Mary playfully punches him in his shoulder "that's because I wanted to tell everyone together". well it's nice to meet you Madison (Crystal),I'm Tara and this is my husband Philip ,while she looks over we all notice Philips gone a few steps over to talk on the phone. "sorry about that ,Philip is a realtor so he's always working and getting calls from his job" ,oh that's ok how long have y'all been married ,"about 3 years now,''Ok I think we're avoiding the question at hand ,Mary how come we've never met you're sister ,or how come you've never mentioned her ,says Jermaine. I could see Mary with my own eyes get nervous at the question at hand . Me and my sister have never been that close ,but I needed some help so I surprised her by visiting her this Christmas. "oh where do you originally live" ,says Tara. Oh I travel so I don't really have a town ,country or state I permanently live. "oh what do you do?" ,says Philip as we all glance up at him seeing he's finally done on the phone. "What I pay attention" ,he says. "Philip lets not bore her to death with all of these questions" ,No its ok I don't mind I was a housewife to a cheating Jerk so when I found out he was cheating with my friend I threaten to cut his d**k off and feed it to our neighbors dog if he ever came in contact with me again, oh and Also I'm pregnant , and now I'm here. I look up and see everyone looking at me in shock including Mary. "dame that's a lot for one person ,ur Pregnant! ,Mary why didn't you tell us your sister was going through a rough time" ,I could see Mary get nervous again so I make the decision to help her out again. ,oh come its ok Mary didn't know anything about this until I came. "yes that's right I didn't know anything about It"
- After the conversations about me we all just chat and played around I got to know a lot about everyone ,since the beginning of when I first came ,starting with Jermaine -The only African American guy I've seen in this town and he's thriving in business with his café ,not only that but I find out he's the one that lives in the other cottage next to Mary's house he's a real cool person I still wonder how a guy move to a town he's never even heard of and start a whole new life. And then you have Tara - a blond 28 year old housewife ,which to me personally she seems to enjoy ,way to much in my opinion. Philip - is a tall Caucasian man with black jet hair, if this was high school ,I would get jock and honor society student vibes ,but reading him now I would say workaholic I mean now they're good but this is only a matter of time until he cheats or she does because his work is gonna end leaving one of them unsatisfied and untended to their needs ,I have a feeling their gonna forget why they fell in love in the first place. And then you Mary - Mary is not a wonder ,but I could tell she's still trying to find herself ,she hasn't been hurt yet not physical or emotionally and that's good ,she was probably raised by two loving parents who she probably calls a lot. for some reason I find myself hoping she keeps her happiness and spark that make her innocent. Mary is the light in her group and I get a weird cover up in this town ,for some reason he seems like the people that's her are ,running for something and are trying to create a new life and identity ,people like Mary don't belong here. and as for Jermaine I don't know his full story but there's got to be a reason why he's distant from his family and he's here of all places to go in the world.
After the towns event ,we say goodbye to Marys friends and Mary drives us back to the cottage ,"so how did you like them" ,they were great. "so do you think they bought it" ,time will tell. "whats that suppose to mean?" ,I mean down the line they will get suspicious ,but that's ok its normal ,we will just have to be ahead of it at make our sister hood look normal, which reminds me did you inform you're parents about everything?. "yeah I did ,which reminds me ………" ,what?. "um nothing ,its just that their coming this weekend to stay." ,what?. "when me and Aunt Lory told them ,they were overly excited they have always wanted another kid ,but they couldn't take care of another kid financially." I sit their silently to re - think everything. Do they know what to call me?. "yes and me and Lory came up with something clever" ,what would that be. "ok so if dad or mom slip up and say your real name Crystal ,we will just say that sometimes they call you by you're middle name which is Madison,Crystal ,and my last name Rouge." ,wow ok smart so what you're saying is if you slip and same my real name lets just say its my middle name. "yeah" ,ok smart.
