Cuddle Valley High: Role Play

Derek rolled down the window and hung his arm out. "You know what I've always wanted to do? Just get in the car and take a trip... Just leave with no particular destination..."

Katherine sighed and she inspected her split ends she let go of her hair and said,"I know what you mean, getting away from it all sounds wonderful, not to mention not knowing where you'll end up".

When they arrived, Krysten immediately was helping Allor. Allor could tell she was weak. It frustreated her.

Derek held the door to the house open for Krys and Allor.

Allor gave a weak smile. "Thanks." she said. Krysten helped her to the couch. Allor groaned as Marria came in. The blonde gasped before rushing over to Allor. "Oh my, what happened."

Krysten was about to answer when Allor did. "I fell on the bleachers."

Marria shook her head. "Thank you all for helping Allor." she said getting a pillow and blanket for Allor.

Derek sat down in an armchair. "Well that was fun."

Krysten looked at derek. She then turned to Marria. "we can take care of Allor while you go to work, or at least I can." she said remembering that the others could speak for themselves.

"Sure."

Allor groaned. "I can take care of myself. Besides, Derek, you should check up on your mom" she said.

Krysten looked at Derek. "Is she okay?"

"I don't know... But I got this feeling that she's not... I can't help thinking that this is almost exactly what happened to my dad."

"What happened to your father?" Krysten asked. "If you don't mind telling me."

"He disappeared about six years ago... Then the cops called and said he died of a Heroin overdose."

Allor looked away. "at least you knew your parents." she said.

Krysten frowned. "It's still sad. I hope she doesn't, Derek."

"Yeah, well sometimes I wish I never had known them... My dad was always in debt to some drug dealer, and my mom's an alchoholic who's always bringing home wierd guys."

"Yeah, i guess, but if you never knew them you always be wondering what if." Krysten said.

Allor hadn't said anything she was looking at a picture she held. At the position she held it, no one else could see it, but Krysten already knew who it was. Marria had left for work.

Derek didn't say anything. He knew Allor would probably rather not talk about her parents, which is what he assumed the picture was of.

Krysten whispered. "She doesn't remember her parents. They both died on the day she was born. The picture is of her foster father." she gave a weak smiled.

Allor showed the picture to derek. "Wolf" was all she said.

Derek grunted softly in acknowledgement. "Hope you don't mind me asking, but how'd they die?"

Allor sighed. "My father was at work when my mom went into labor. He got the phonecall. He got on a train to come to the hospital but it crashed. My mom died giving birth to me."

Derek winced just thinking about it. "Funny how life works out... I mean, your parents sound like fairly reasonable people, but for some reason they had to die before you ever knew them. I spent my life living in a complete shithole with an abusive father and a mother who needed watching over almost 24/7. Who's worse off, the person who never knew her parents, or the one who had but wished he hadn't?"
