Madison was having a hardtime looking in Hailey's direction at all. She slowly nibbled on a pieceof bacon to keep her self busy during this long, awkw...rd, silence. Zackpulled a chair over to join us, "So, Hailey, is there anything you'dlike to say to the boys?"Hailey clasped her hands even tighter which made some of the veins onher arms pop out and she inhaled. Right as she was about to speak a fewtears started trickling down her cheek, "I'm so sorry." She stillcouldn't even make eye contact. I think I sort of browbeat her into agreeing. It wasn’t intentional – and she didn’t tell me she had already accepted a date with someone else. I guess I was pretty persuasive.”“Probably,” Phil replied. “You usually are. Where are you headed?”“I’m going back to your apartment to kick your ass on the race track,” she said with a laugh. “Loser has to pay the other’s way tonight.”“I’m not sure I want to go to the party,” Phil said.“Oh, crap,” Hailey spat. “Give me one good reason not to.”“I won’t. He took Glenda and Sue with him to apparently see Martin. After a while, Sue came in and said that Martin was resting and Glenda was going to stay with him. The doc said there was nothing else we could do for him tonight and for all of us to go home to get at least a little sleep.We did all go home, but since I couldn't sleep, I was sitting on the patio looking over toward Martin and Glenda's trailer. As I sat there, I was thinking without Martin, who would feed all the songbirds in the area?. He was about to run and hide when Jillian pulled him to her again and kissed Johnny full on the lips and pretty much shoved her tongue down his throat.When their lips parted Johnny’s response was, “That’s one really long tongue you have. Wow awesome.”They looked around and only a few people were watching them. Before Johnny could say anything more Jillian got up and said, “You’re now a few years older, I think you’re old enough. I’ll talk to you later. And Happy Birthday.” Then she ran.
