"He says he's on his way," I told them despite not getting a definite answer,
"We need a chance to reconnect after everything you know? It's no secret that things haven't been easy, for any of us since..." Keomi begun but Gene spoke up,
"You need to be able to just say it Keomi, we all need to be able to at least say it if we stand a chance of healing from his loss." Geneviève burst out,
“You’re right, we need to be able to at least bring it up casually, Jace wouldn’t want us to treat his memory like an urban legend.” Fabian interrupted,
“He did have an irrational fear of the phantom of the opera.” Keomi joked and Fabian smiled at her, her eyes twinkled when he did. Fabian always laughed at Keomi’s jokes, even when they were not particularly funny.
"This may be a tad bit controversial but I think it’s too soon." Merilla sighed "And if you want River to come along with us then you need to stop twisting the knife in an already open wound."
"I wasn't trying to-" Gene says, her voice small.
“The truth of the matter is that it’s been almost a year now,” Fabain remarked defensively. “It’s time to let go.”
"Come in!" Keomi and I both called once we heard the knock on the door. Then in walked River, almost too tall for the walkway so he had to lower his head a little bit. Something I had noticed about the never-ending enigma that was River Kennedy was that he was either extravagantly dressed like a passenger about to board the Titanic or he was dressed like he just woke up for a midnight snack. Nevertheless, he looked stunning. There wasn't exactly anywhere for him to sit so I moved aside on my bed so he could sit next to me. He lay down resting his arms behind his head, it killed me how he could be so casual.
“Pourquoi suis-je ici ?”Why am I here, he asked.
"Listen close River, my uncle Claude has a Cabin up in mountains by Lake Geneva." Geneviève began and we all listened in,
"Switzerland?" River asked, "c'est à cinq heures de Paris."That's five hours away from Paris.
"Je sais, que c'est pour ça que nous prendrons le métro." Geneviève clarified,I know that's why we'll take the metro.
"Can you guys please speak English, or speak a little slower, my French isn't exactly the best yet." I smiled guiltily and Geneviève rolled her eyes at me,
"C'est la France, pas la Floride, personne ne doit de traductions à ton cul américain." Geneviève provoked,this is France not Florida therefore nobody owes your American ass any translations. I sure as hell understood that. “Should I switch on my subtitles for you?”
"Geneviève." River stepped in and she immediately flashed me a plastic smile.
"Do you really think arguing is the best way to convince him to tag along?" Fabian warned,
"Look, this is a chance for all of us to get to know each other again, including Armani. Everything has been so hectic with school lately and we thought we could all use a break. We really hope you decide to come along River." Keomi addressed,
“You want me to come with you?” River asked slightly taken aback by the offer and Keomi smiled at him.
“Of course we do.” She assured him gesturing to everyone in the room for clarification,
