Jorey held Madison in her arms. She was scared that if she’d let go then every thing that had just happened would all just be some fantasy she dreamt up. But it was real. Madison lay in her arms.

“This is crazy.” Madison held Jorey’s right hand in both of her own.

“This isn’t crazy. This is right.”

“You think so?”

Jorey kissed the top of Madison’s head, “I know so.”

Madison pulled herself up to kiss Jorey. She had to be careful because if she didn’t keep control of herself then they were never going to get out of bed. She finally broke out of the kiss, “Okay we have to stop sometime. I mean we haven’t had lunch and if we keep going…we’re not going to have dinner.”

Jorey laughed, “Yeah you are right about that. I’m supposed to have dinner with Ash and Spence tonight.”

“Oh. I guess I’d better get going.” Madison was getting ready to get up from the bed.

Jorey pulled her back, “No no…don’t go. I’ll talk to Ash, I’m sure it’s fine if you have dinner with us. Plus, I want to enjoy this a little more.” She pulled Madison close and kissed her again.

They laid in bed for awhile just talking. But Madison remembered about Jorey’s father, “Jor, I read about your dad. I’m so sorry.”

Jorey grew quiet. Then she spoke, “Madison what I’m about to tell you is going to probably shock you.” Madison sat up so that she could look at Jorey better. “When my dad was killed I took it hard. I took it so hard that I was on meds. My mom was off with her new husband and she didn’t care about me or the fact that my dad died. I started getting addicted to the meds. Money started to run out at the beginning of my junior year of college. So I started selling and taking the meds. I didn’t care about anything. I didn’t have anyone who cared. All I knew was that when I would take the pills and I would drink, I didn’t want anything else. Not even basketball.” Jorey was starting to tear up and it made Madison start to as well.
