"Mmm, you could say that," Keely replied dryly, thinking of their parents. Now they're a whole different kind of crazy she thought to herself, even the slightest mention of her family these days bugged her, though, when you looked at it, of course them basically dis-owning her would be a sore topic to her.

Tess propped herself down onto a bench by the counter. She wondered why on earth there would be a bench by a counter. But then, she figured its so that people, when waiting, don't get sick of it or something. Turning almost elegantly to Keely, she cleverly replied. "And we. Us too. Are the offspring of their madness! Because what could possibly be more mad than two physcho parents giving birth to two sane young women." she giggled. The idea was actually quite funny. "So are you riding at the moment Keels? I am - thank God. I don't know how I survive without riding. Im training Teds, the horse Mum and Dad bred 5 years ago. You were 13 then, just entering teenagehood. I was 16 then, it was when I moved out to police college. I don't really know.. why I quit, Keels. I really don't - I loved the classes and the mounted horses. I think I just quit things, you know? For no reason, I just do."

"I would be riding, but, one, I don't have a horse at the moment, and two, I don't think it would be such a good idea right now," she replied, a slightly regretful tone in her voice. Keely knew she would be riding if she could, but she didn't think it was appropriate, given the circumstances, even though she was dying to be riding.

"I'd almost agree with you there, riding while pregnant can be dangerous.... This kid must mean a lot to you - keeping it and all. I didn't think that was what you would do if you ever got put in this position," Tess gave an awkward pause "I would have well... I know it sounds horrible but I would have got rid of it. I don't have the resources for a baby but maybe it is because I am too selfish." Tess kicked the floor, the rubber bottom of her boot scuffing across the tile. Tess had a strange feeling she was wrong, and that she would have kept a baby, she didn't have the heart to abort. But she didn't bother saying. Tess felt frustrated with her current life, her boyfriend never called - her parents hated her, she was pretty much broke. It is sending her into some kind of spirial.

"I did think about it...but I couldn't do it...everything happens for a reason, and there's already been a lot that's come out of it. If it hadn't happend, I wouldn't know exactly how bad it would've gotten if I'd stayed with Caleb, I probably would've ended up getting kicked out sooner or later, the way things were going with Mum and dad. This is probably the biggest mistake I've made, but, you know what? I've decided to make it the best damn mistake I've ever made," Keely said after a few moments of thought, sitting down beside Tess before speaking.

"Our lives are pretty similar... It's funny but all of our relationships have turned out pretty messy. You know Joel? Well... he hasn't spoken to me in months. And I don't really know why."
"So who-who is this Caleb? And what did he do to you?" replied Tess quickly in an instant protective-sister/cop mode.

"Oh Tess...I hope it turns out for you. Well, besides being the biggest jerk existent on this planet? He tried to force me to have an abortion, hence the reason I got as far away from there as I could, he even threatened to follow me here and take me back, I have no idea how well that's going for him," Keely replied, thinking back to the phone conversation he had with James when she had first arrived.

"Sooo," said Tess. "Got any male involvement in your life, other than this jerk - sis?" she decided to take the risk and ask. It was a dangerous question, but Tess knew her sister would take no offense. It was cool between them, even after two years. Awaiting the response, she dug around her pockets for a while.

"As friends, yes- actually, I'm friends with the James who is having the party tonight- but I haven't really thought about anything more," Keely replied, pushing a stray black curl out of her face.

"Sure you havn't," joked Tess, playfully poking her tongue out. "Are you suure you like him!" Tess repeated the name, "Jaaamees <3" She shook her head. "I can understand the friends bit. I met a guy called Dustin, made a good friend out of him. He's really good with his horse, Cruize. A really nice person too. Ever seen him round?" Tess looked down the aisle; bridles, bits - saddle cloths all marked the scene. It was a pretty nice saddle shop. Tess bet they made their fair share of money too. Wait a minute... Why doesn't Tess apply for a job? Because I'm meant to be a sales assistant, silly. Tess reminded herself. "So what sort of job do you have around here?" she asked.

"Well, if it's the same Dustin you're talking about, yeah, I've run into him, today actually, I went for a walk before and we ran into each other," Keely replied, poking her tongue back out at Tess.

"Hello? Hello?" Keely spoke into Tess's phone, but all she heard was a click and the sounds of beeping when the call disconnected. A sinking feeling in the stomach, she rushed to find Tess in the aisle, a worried look on her face. "Tess, what's wrong? All I got was someone hanging up on me..." she asked, holding her phone out to her.

"Are you sure everything's alright?" Keely asked again, still worried about it, Tess seemed really upset by whatever their dad had said, even more so than she usually got, that was.
