Page 48 of What if It's Us

Oliver

Is someone going to tell us what happened or do I have to beat someone’s ass?

Harrison

We saw Marlee crying in the hallway after Pucks & Blades the other day.

Bear

Yeah and Ledger went all possessive caveman and offered her a shoulder to cry on.

Bodhi

About fuckin’ time, Dayne! Way to put your man-balls on display.

Harrison

She said her period came and she wasn’t feeling well so Ledge said he was taking her home. Didn’t even give her the chance to say no.

Oliver

Wow. That’a boy Dayne! Way to be all comforting and shit. That’s definitely one way to score points with the ladies. Did you buy her chocolate?

Oliver

Also, where’s Ollenberg? How is he not flipping his shit right now that his best buddy went all softy on Marlee Remington and didn’t tell him?

August

We worked out downstairs this morning so I know he’s in the building.

Bodhi

True…OLLENBERG, put your pants on and get in this chat! There’s news!

Griffin

Relax Pickle Pants. She was just sad because period = no baby so they’ll just have to try again.

Bear

Huh?

Harrison

when you say ‘they’ll have to try again…’ who is they? And what are you talking about exactly?

August

Ella is now frozen in place and staring at me. She’s either waiting to hear what you say next or she’s trying not to pee her pants.

Me

way to go Ollenberg.

Griffin

Fuck. I’m sorry man. You know how hard it is keeping shit from our brothers.
