Rikky was reading the newspaper, but only with vague concentration. There were other things to think about, like mortgage and bills and problems like that. But the biggest thing on her mind right now was the situation she was in with Beth. After some thinking, Rikky had decided that she was angrier than she had ever been in her life, and even though she was pretty sure she still loved Beth, she was too angry to be certain of that. Also, she was furious with Laura for being kind to Beth, and she didn't know if she loved Laura either.
All of a sudden, she was awoken from her daydreaming by a slight vibration. She pulled her magenta, diamond-studded cell phone from underneath her. She answered it. It was Beth. "Rikky! Laura is losing her house and we'll have nowhere to stay! Please, can we stay with you?" she said. "No!" yelled Rikky. It made her even angrier to talk to Beth, so she didn't bother. She hung up. She heard Beth shriek, but only for a split second.
Beth was shocked. She ran downstairs. "She said no!" she screamed. "It's okay, calm down," said Laura."I just thought of something. You have a little insurance, don't you?" This made Beth feel a little better, but there was still a lot to worry about.
