Try To Keep The Pace

Auntie's lesson about life

"A-auntie Alex?!"

"Hey kido."I lunged forward and embraced her in a big bear hug. Auntie chuckled and hugged me back.

"What are you doing here?"I asked her with a big smile on my face.

"To hunt down a dragon."she rolled her eyes. I didn't care that she was making fun of me,I was too darn happy. "I came to see you,little brat."she messed up my hair,which I always liked so much. I feel loved when someone messes with my hair. I don't understand why people hate it.
"How have you been?"she asked me as we all sat down,Madison and Auntie on the couch while I sat down on the armchair. Madison and Auntie always been close to each other. Auntie was the one who kept the fire alive in Madison,when she and mom got separated,at least that's what I had been told. However after mom's death,Auntie locked herself away,just like everyone else. We stopped seeing each other completely when I had to move away with dad. He never told me the reason behind why Auntie didn't want to talk to me anymore. Seeing her right now feels like a dream come true. I mean when I was a kid she was the one who thought me how to play soccer. She could be a hell of a good coach, but then again her cooking is even better.

"Great."I told her sincerely,because this is the greatest I've ever been. I have a girlfriend,I have some awesome friends and it seems like the school's bitch is one of them. Unbelievable,right? Alex laughed at my enthusiasm which made me and Madison smile happily. 

"That's good to hear."she told me kindly.

"How have you been?"I asked her. She just shrugged and wanted to put up her feet on the coffee table,but Madison shot her a look which made her stop.

"I'm going to be nice now. The next time I come around you better make space on the coffee table for my feet."Madison rolled her eyes at how smug Auntie was. I laughed at them,but I was still waiting for my answer. "To answer your question: I've been better."she sighed and her smug smile turned to a bittersweet one. I immediately became concerned. 

"What happened?"I asked her. Madison put a hand on Auntie's shoulder,she must already know what's the problem. Auntie shook her head.

"My boyfriend cheated on me."she said simply,but you could see hurt in her eyes. I wanted to say something so bad,to comfort her,to make her feel better but I just didn't know what so say. As I said before I'm not a people person, until this year I was avoiding any human contact like the plague. I think Karma finally caught me and made to get this plague. See kids? This is what will happen to you if you are being bad...Man, I wish I didn't paint a teachers car in Germany! If I hadn't done that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be in this situation. Tho I only did it because he was being a dick and kept bugging me about my accent. Well excuse me for not having a perfect german accent!! Fick dich! "It doesn't matter! He was a total dick! I would have dumped his ass anyway,this just give me a reason to do so!"she cheered for herself. Madison was smiling sadly at her,but I remained serious. My mind was ripped to two half. One was screaming: That fucker! Imma beat his ass so hard,that even his own mother won't recognize him! Just let me see that ape!  and the other was : But you were in love with that dick,so he was somewhat special to you. Auntie looked at me and pouted. She jumped up from her seat and walked over the sound system.

"I came here to have fun! Now turn that frown upside down and let's party!"she exclaimed. I laughed at her childish side. After struggling a second with the new tech, Uma Thurman started to play on a very high volume. Auntie started to clap to the beat,walked over to Madison grabbed her hands,dragged her up and started to dance with her. Madison now was laughing truly and I wasn't that concerned now neither. I laughed at how childish they looked,but then they both grabbed me and started to dance with me.
