Any Road Will Take You There: Chapter 1
“Guys, I’m getting really worried..” Sugar said as she checked her watch.
“I’m sure it’s nothing!” Rory said and gave her a reassuring glance.
The trio had been together since they were young. All of them having gay parents was just one of the many things Rory, Harmony, and Sugar had in common. As soon as they could walk their parents put them in a theater play group together and they’ve been friends ever since.
“But it’s been a week since Sebastian took the time machine out for a spin, I didn’t like the smirk on his face when he got in!” Sugar knew that look, it was the Lopez part of his genes kicking in. It was a Lopez smirk.
“Well you gave him the keys..” said Harmony with a know-it-all tone in her voice.
Sugar’s heart sank in her stomach, whatever her brother does will be all her fault.
“One thing’s for sure..we need a new place to hang out.” The whole group shook their head in agreement with Rory’s statement.
Every day after school they would come and hang out at the town’s old coffee shop The Lima Bean. The place was ancient, this was the place their parents used to come and hang out.
“Why don’t we head home guys, Sebastian could be back with the time machine, right now, safe and sound.” said Harmony. Sugar looked up at her and smiled hopefully.
When the group arrived at Sugar’s house she ran in the door, past the kitchen, and to the garage door.
“SUGAR MOTTA PIERCE-LOPEZ, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO RUN THROUGH THIS HOUSE! YO PODRIA LANZAR UNA SILLA A USTED!” Mama Santana screamed as she came down the stairs. Harmony and Rory awkwardly followed her to the garage, careful not to make her rage worse.
“Sorry Mama, I need to check something!” Sugar said and opened the garage door, the time machine still wasn’t there. Rory hugged her from behind.
“Don’t worry lass, I’m sure he’ll be back any day now!”
The Next Day..
Mama Brittany was braiding Sugar’s hair when she checked her phone..
12 MISSED CALLS
They were all from Rory. She quickly called Rory up and put him on speaker.
“H-Hello?…” Rory sounded so shaken.
“Rory it’s Sugar! What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
“It’s my dads..they’re both in the hospital..”
Mama Brittany stopped braiding Sugar’s hair, put her hand over her mouth and started tearing up.
“My unicorn..” she said. Sugar sat up and squeezed her mother as tight as she could.
“The worst part is they don’t even know what’s wro..” Rory stopped mid-sentence, Sugar could tell he was crying.
“Rory, who’s with you?”
“No one, I’m all alone at my house. They won’t let me see them until tomorrow.“
“Come stay with us!” Sugar and her mother said in unison. She looked up at her mother and smiled.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Let me get some stuff together, I’ll be over soon!”
Sugar hung up and cuddled with her Mom. Then her mind went to Sebastian, she prayed that he had nothing to do with this.
Later That Night..
There was a knock at door. Sugar ran down the stairs and swung open the door.
“I got here as soon as I heard!” Harmony marched in the door with a large over night bag in hand.
“H-Harmony?” Sugar was obviously expecting someone else.
“Rory told me what happened and I’m here to help!”
“That’s sweet Harmony but I don’t think my Moms want me to have that many people over, right?” Sugar gave her mom a hinting glance.
“Of course she can stay! Just as long as she doesn’t disturb Lord Tubbington’s slumber” Her mother was never the sharpest tool in the shed. Sugar let out a big sigh.
“I’ll grab some more blankets..”
Harmony smiled big and unpacked her things. Then another knock at the door. Everyone quickly ran to get it. Rory looked like hell. You could tell from his eyes that he had crying, a lot. He was immediately attacked with hugs from everyone.
“Thank you so much Mrs. & Mrs. Pierce-Lopez for letting me stay here for a few days! I couldn’t stay at that house alone..”
“It’s no problem at all Rory!” Mama Brittany said as she held her wife.
They spent most of the night trying to distract Rory with movies and food but nothing seemed to work. He just looked like a part of him was missing, the family part. Sugar went over and hugged Rory and Harmony joined in.
“They’re going to be fine Rory! You’ll see!”
“You guys don’t understand. They just dropped to the ground all of the sudden! No injuries, no nothing!” Just then a ringing sound came from the garage. Someone was calling from the time machine. The trio ran to the garage computer and clicked answer.
It was Sebastian.
“SEBASTIAN!”
“What’s up sis?”
“Where the hell are you? You’ve been gone for days!”
“I just had some errands to run..”
“I can hear you smiling.”
“You sound shaken, what have I missed?”
“Rory’s dads are in the hospital, they just passed out early this morning, they’ve been unconscious ever since. No one knows what’s wrong!”
“Isn’t that interesting..”
“SEBASTIAN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?”
“I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about, talk you you soon sis!”
“WAIT!…”
Sebastian hung up the phone and Sugar’s heart sank into her stomach again. She should have never let him have the keys to the time machine. Sugar looked up from her phone at Rory. He had a look of rage and sadness in his eyes.
This was all her fault.
