Dream of Californication

[last_to_believe]

Kacie had left at like 2 that afternoon with her doctor-boyfriend who was takin' her to Las Vegas for the weekend, leavin' her Santa Monica beach house all to me. She tried real heard to pretend like she was givin' me the speech, the one about not having any parties while she was gone, no drinking, and definitely no boys. But I could tell, Kacie

Lily was being a nag which was kind of a pain in the ass. It's not like she was that much older than me. So what if she was a chosen slayer. Um isn't that like most of the girls around LA lately are chosen or something? Whatever. I could take care of myself

I was still trying to make nice with my brother over the whole stolen ring thing. He had no clue it was me, would never dream his sweet baby sister would go to all the trouble of trashing his place and staging a break in just to get what did technically belong to her. He was so sweet, so unbelievably naive

I smiled gratefully as Kiera introduced herself. The last thing I wanted to do was talk about my dad to some girl who wanted to make it in the business. She had a better chance of catching my dad on the phone than I did anyway

I shrugged a little. "It happens when you dad's an alcoholic who slurs his drink order so badly that rum and coke becomes Roman coke to a 15 year old who starts sneaking them." I offered her a bit of a smile. It's not like I wanted to overwhelm her with my sob story right off the bat or anything

I frowned when she explained about her dad. What was it with fathers letting their kids down? It was so weird that two of the best dads I've ever met were both vampires. How crazy was that? What did it say about us anyway

"You'd know an alcoholic if he was one." I assured her. "My dad... he just had these problems. My mom died when I was a baby, there was this house fire, and he saved me instead of her. Suffice to say, he never really got over it. I think drinking became his way of dealing with it, you know? Because he didn't really know what else to do
