35

One week later things had gotten better thank god. Lisa was out of her coma and was breathing on her own. Zac continued to stay at her side, even if She didn't want him there. Clarissa and Ike were ok I guess you could say. Or they seemed that way to every one else. Clarissa still couldn't bring herself to tell Ike about that night. She'd tired so many times to just forget about it but, with the stomach pains she had been having lately things just got worse with her. Ike couldn't figure out what was wrong her so he just about left her alone all the time. Brandi's luck had turned. She was doing great and so was Taylor. They had only gotten closer to one another. I mean it was about time that the sun shined on them awhile after all they had went through together. They dissevered it. Brent though, continued to basically not want anything to do with Taylor. I'm not sure exactly what he had against him. He wasn't that way toward Ike or Zac for that matter. Alexis was the sweetest and with Diana and Walker coming over a lot more than they had been now that the news about Lisa had gotten around, Alexis and Diana could have little mom to mom talks. But of course Diana was more of a mother the Alexis. Lets face it, with all of her fame and all there is no way she could have been the perfect mother that Diana was.

7:30 am Tuesday morning…
" Well your up early …" Diana said as she walked over to Ike and handed him a cup of coffee.
"Yeah… I couldn't sleep." Ike replied.
" Wanna talk about it?" Diana said as she took a seat beside him at the table.
" Mom I don't know…I…I mean, whats wrong with her?"
"Clarissa?"
" Yeah I mean shes been so uptight lately and she said she's been feel-n sick but she wont go to the doctor…I just don't understand it."
"Well there are some things men aren't meant to understand."
"Uh…whats that suppose to mean?"
" Look just don't worry about it…you go and let me talk to her ok….now go." Diana said as she brushed him off and continued with her usual doings.
" Hey mom…" Brandi said as she came down stairs and gave Diana a hug. Brandi didn't think of her own mother as a mom, she never really did. Diana was their for her and always would be. That was something her real mother never was or never did.
" Hey…want some juice ?" Diana asked.
" Yes please…"
"Where you of to in such a hurry?"
" Oh nowhere just gonna go take my morning jog…"
" hehe…since when did you start this?"
" A couple of weeks ago…I was really stress-n. So the doctor said to…I haven't felt so good."
" Well you look great."
" Thanks..." Brandi said as she sat down at the table.
" So how are things with you and Tay?" When Diana asked her this a big smile formed across Brandi's face.
"Mom…he's wonderful I mean I couldn't ask for a better man." She said taking a sip from her cup.
" Really?" Diana asked with a smile…" wanna tell me?"
" haha…well sometimes late at night when every thing is quiet, and the moon is high and the air is still. He'll take me outside and we'll lay in the grass and just look up at the moon and the stars and while I try to count the stars he sings to me. Oh…he's amazing. "
" Well…I cant believe that I did such a wonderful job…" Diana said in a joke-n way.
" haha..well I have to go….be back in a little while." Brandi called as she made her way out the door and up the lane.
A few more minutes went by and then Diana could here the shower be turned on and then she heard Zac's loud feet come pounding down the stairs. She really missed having them in her house like she once did. So it really made her feel good to be there that morning . It brought back so many memories.
"Hey mom, whats to eat?" Zac said as he kissed his mother in the cheek.
" Oh I remember when you were little and you used to….." she couldn't finish her sentence before he interrupted.
" Mom I really don't mean to mess up your flashback but I'm really hungry." After he said this they laughed alittle and talked while Diana cooked breakfast for her bunch like she used to.
" So when's Lisa coming home?" Diana asked.
" Oh she'll be here Thursday…" Zac said smiling as they heard Tay make his way down stairs. He came in with his Abercromie pants on and his hair wet and stringy in his face. Well I mean lets face it, he just came form the SHOWER
" Hey Hey" Zac said.
" Hey….Mom what are you do-n here?" Tay asked.
" Well is that any way to say HI?" Diana asked.
" Come here…" Tay said with smile as he embraced his mother in a hug." When did you get here?"
" I came last night but you were asleep, I didn't want to wake you." She said.
" Oh..and I see Zac has you cooking…"
" Hey I…I uh…wait its not my fault…!" Zac said as every one busted out laugh-n!
" Well Im go-n to get the mail…" Tay said.
" Like that?!" Diana asked.
" Mom…Im sure that there are no scream-n fans out side…that was a long time ago…"
" Yeah but hunny you never know…you know what happened to Ike last time he walked outside half naked…"
"HAHA…OH MAN I REMEMBER THAT!" Zac laughed out.
"hehe…mom that was like 2 years ago…" Tay said as he opened the door to see Brandi making her way back up the lane…"Oh my god…Look here comes one now!" Tay said joke-n.
" Hi…" Brandi said in a very sleek way as Tay kissed her.
"Oh how sweet!" Zac said.
"haha…funny!" Brandi said as she made her way up to her room and got in the shower. She could tell Tay had been in last. He always got the water as hot as he could. She never thought to turn it the other way before she pulled it, so it always got her. A few min later she got out and got dressed. Then she made her way into Clarissa's room.
" Hey get up sleepy head…" She said as she pulled the curtains open…"its so nice outside."
"uhhh…" Clarissa said as she pulled the covers over her head.
"If you don't get up I'll drag you up." Brandi said but she still just laid there…'Ok…" Brandi said as she went into Clarissa's bath room, turned the shower on then walked back into Clarissa's room…"1…2…3…man I really hate to do this…"
" Hey what are you do-n!" Clarissa yelled as Brandi drug her out of bed.
" You could make this easier for me if you would just….QUIT!" Brandi said as she slung Clarissa over her shoulder.
" PUT ME DOWN!!!" Clarissa yelled.
"ok…"Brandi shrugged as she dropped her in the shower.
"AHHHH!!!"
"Shut up..and get up!" Brandi yelled back.
" hahaha…Oh man…"
" hehe…your welcome" Brandi said as she made her way downstairs.
" Come here…" Tay said as he and Brandi kissed once again.
"mmmm…"she said smiling at him…" so where's Walker?" Brandi asked as she let Leap out the door.
" Oh..he's bring-n the kids over later today..they miss there brothers ya know…" Diana said looking at Zac and Tay.
" Yeah mom I know Its just…." Zac started to say.." look we'll make it up to them today..ok"
" Yeah I mean…we'll take em to…we'll take em to that new amusement park." Tay said.
"yeah and what about Zoie, shes only two, she cant ride all those rides…"
"hey mom you know what I'll go along and while the bigger ones are busy Ill take the smaller ones and do something with them…it'll be fun." Brandi said.
" See look..we can handle it!" Zac said.
" Well alright…but be careful." Diana said as Clarissa came down stairs.
" well well…look who decided to join us." Tay said.
"Good morning…" She said as she grabbed the paper and walked out the French doors to the swing and sat there read-n it.
" excuse me.." Diana said as she walked out there.
" Wanna talk?" Diana asked.
" No." Clarissa said as she turned the page she was reading.
"Are you sure?"
" Yes." Clarissa said as Diana got up to walk away…"Mom"
" Yeah ?" Diana asked turn-n around.
" Im scared…" Clarissa said.
" About what dear…whats wrong.?"
" oh…I just have to tell some one…"
" Ok go ahead.."
" well I umm…."
