"Alexis! Please?! I'm begging you! I really wanna borrow that book!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. I next found myself upon my knees with my hands clasped together, begging in a sterio-typical fasion.
                "For the last time! This is my favorite book, and I've yet to find another copy of it! If this copy gets screwed up, I'm screwed! Not only, will my mother KILL me, but I'll be shit out of luck, because I'll have nothing good to read!N-O, NO!" she said. Normally at this point, I would have given up, but there was something about that book that I just couldn't get out over. I couldn't get that book out of my head.
                "But, BABY! Come on! You KNOW I take great care of your things! Name ONE thing of yours that I have broken in the entire eight years that I've known you!", I pleaded. I got off of my knees, deciding that if being on my knees wouldn't work, then 'the face' was my last chance in hell.
                "My lazer!" she said, rather quickly. If I didn't know any better, which something told me I didn't, I'd think she'd been expecting me to say that. But there was something that she didn't expect or even know, for that matter. Not that she'd believe me now, anyway.
                "Baby, there's something I should tell you.I wasn't the one who broke that damned Lazer-Pen."
                "Then, who?"
                "Daniel did it. I took the blame for him because that was back in the day, when you would have taken the broken pieces and used them to cut him up if you knew that it was the annoying little brother that broke such a 'priceless antique.", I said calmly.The look on her face told me that she couldn't trust me as far as she could throw me.
                "And if I were to ask Daniel about this now?" she asked. Hmmm... That tone seemed very suspicious. She really DIDN'T believe me!
                "Good question. Either way. I'm to be condemned for life because of one broken object?"
                "Clearly. Daniel! Get your ass in here!"
                "But I'm not allowed in your room!Remember?" his voice was heard from right outside of the room.
                "Only when I'm not in it, because you smoke in there, and I get in trouble when MY room smells like cigarette smoke!" Alexis said just loud enough to be heard from the other side of the door.
                "Alrighty, then." he said from right behind the two of us. We both jumped in surprise.
                "How the HELL did you get in so quickly and quietly?!" I spouted off without even thinking. A problem I've always had.
                "Simple." he responded confindently.
                "How, then?!" I demanded.
"Not telling!" How smug of him. I should've known. This kid always does shit like that.
                "Daniel, who broke my Lazer-Pen?" Alexis asked. She collects herself quickly! I was still collecting my breath and waiting for my heart-rate to go back to normal.
                "Mary. We established this over a year ago. Remember?"
                "Daniel. Truth." Alexis said, as though speaking to a dog.
                "Me." Obedient, he is.
                "Told you, Baby!" I said smugly.
                "Fine. You never broke anything of mine. But still. This book is very important to me." she said sternly. The face! I'd forgotten to do it! I opened my eyes wide and lowered my head so that I could properly look up at her with the puppy eyes. She started laughing saying "Fine! I admit it! I love-slash-trust you as far as I can knock you over and roll you! If there's anything wrong with this book when I get it back, I'll have to--'.
                "Yeah, yeah. Rip out my innards and feed them to Dakota. I know." I cut her off.
                "Actually, I was gonna say I'd have to spank you and put a "kick-me" sign on your back. But yours was good, too." she said. We both had a good laugh as she walked over to the shelf and picked up the book. She walked back over to me and handed the book to me with a grin.
                "YEAHEAH!" I shouted with a grin and a pelvic thrust. It was finally my time to find out what was so alluring about this damn book.
                So, without any adue, I threw myself upon her bed and opened the black cover with a victorious grin.
                I looked over the cover page and read aloud, "An Unfit Ending. By: Auren Fayer."
                And as I scanned over the page, I knew that another special journey had begun. A new book awaited me and my imagination was ready. But what I didn't know, was that this was going to be a very different kind of journey. One that I was definately not ready for.
