A door opened and Luna shouted out, “Get in here, bitch. Ally’s setting up a game of beer pong!”
Beer pong?
“Jesus,” Cap muttered.
“Be right there,” I shouted back. Then to Cap, “Beer pong? She’s a mother in her forties.”
“Welcome to the RCHB,” he replied.
I was digging the RCHB.
Though, I had a feeling I was going to like the AAHS better.
Cap and I went in to play beer pong.
And…surprise!
(Not.)
Cap rocked at it.
TWENTY-FIVE
THE WONDERS OF THE AVENGING ANGELS, UNITE
Allow me to sum up:
A week later,The Surf Club was dark for three days.
This was because, sitting behind us as Dad and I occupied the front row, Deb by Dad’s side, Brittany by Deb’s, me on Dad’s other side, Cap on mine, all of us staring at a pretty, shiny, tiny cream-colored casket covered in little pink sweetheart roses, we had a crowd of people.
From my family: Luna, Scott, Louise and even Dream, Feather and Dusk (Scott and Louise paid for their trip). Also, Jessie and Harlow.
From SC: Otis, Hunter, Lucia, her husband Mario, and of course, Tito.
And get this…
Byron.
From Oasis Square: Martha, Linda, Bill, Zach, Jacob, Alexis, Patsy and Rhea. But the rest of the complex got together and paid for that beautiful spray of pink roses on Macy’s casket.
Last, the entirety of the RCHB.
Roam, by the way, had it going on.
I knew this because he allowed me privacy for the drama, but he did not miss this.
He hugged me the instant he met me at Dad and Deb’s condo and said when he did, “Shit reason to meet you, Raye, so fuckin’ sorry.”
I didn’t have a reply, because I agreed with him.
I also hung onto him.
I didn’t know why (and it wasn’t because he was as gorgeous as Cap and all the rest).
I did get confirmation of what I already knew. He was a great guy, because he let me hang onto him. He allowed this for a long time. And it was only when Cap was done with it that Roam carefully unlatched me and guided me into Cap’s arms when it stopped.
At Macy’s funeral, where we laid her to rest next to Mom, although I heard the weeping from behind me of family and friends I hadn’t seen in years, in the front row, we didn’t cry.
