Since neither could get to sleep Bette and Angelica decided to do what people do best in stressful times….eat. Since most of their food was rotten in the fridge Bette decided to grab something suitably unhealthy at seve-eleven. Angelica went with her, unwilling to be left alone in the house. It was now 3:30 in the morning and the street was bare dark and quiet. Bette could hear traffic in the distance but her own road was quite deserted. Angelica tagged along while putting on her jacket, a hoody-like thing. Bette was going to get into the car but decided against it, the store was only five blocks away on the corner, they could walk. “come on angie, let’s walk instead i tihnk we need the fresh air” Angelica nodded and walked in sync with her mom, both were emotionally tired and Bette’s outburst earlier drained not only her but both of them. So they were content just to walk and talk, talking about things that really didn’t matter but was important in keeping minds off current stressful things. Bette looked at Angelica and put her arms around her, their hips bumping, “you konw Angie your’re growing so tall, look your up to my chin now…only 14!” Angelica laughed and looked up at the sky, she could see stars even though the city lights tried hard to cover them. “well i dont want to be taller than you”  ”why?”     “then i’ll be a giant!”   Bette feinted outrage and both walked briskly, both welcoming the lighter mood. Eventually the store came to view and Bette opened the store door, it beeped, and Angelica followed stuffing her hand in her pocket. There was some spare change in there…she intended on buying some penny candy. Bette wandered down some of the small aisles, noting Angie was on the other side, getting to the liquid freezer she looked in. Pop, juice….Bette opened the sliding doors and took out a large jug of apple juice, that was healthier…..walking slowly down the doors she opened another and took out a large frozen Shepard’s pie….walking down further she opened it and took out a carton of Oreo ice cream…for desert of course. Holding the items she went to the check-out. The cashier was a fat bald man who barely looked at her, Bette would’ve thoughht he’d think they were weird for buying dinne rin the middle of the night but he must have seen a lot of strange things, working the night shift and all. Angelica came up behind her with a little bag of penny candy…..Bette smiled an d took it, putting the bag with the other stuff.
