Alice sat on her bed cross legged looking at her open closet. She’d check her phone every once in a while in hopes that Megan had responded to any of her texts to no avail. *Is Megan the reason I became what I am? Is she the reason I started listening to death metal? Started wearing all black? Skipping school? Shoplifting? Having sex behind the dumpster? … What would I be like now if she wasn’t my best friend? … I want to change… I want to be better… I just wish she wanted to change too…*
Mom tapped on Alice’s open bedroom door to get her attention. “Hey sweetie, heard anything from Megan?”
“No… Not yet.”
“I wouldn’t worry,” Mom said in a comforting tone. “She’ll come around… Anyway, wanna come help me do something naughty for Daddy?”
Alice smiled, nodded, and hopped out of bed. She was already naked as was Mom. Clothes were no longer necessary in a house of open sexuality. Mom took Alice by the hand and led her to the master bedroom. Dad was standing naked in front of the bed, facing the door.
