It's been a week since we have shifted and it's like both of us are under a house arrest. I can't work. I can't sleep. I don't have any money left and Carol won't let me work so Jay will have to support us for the time being. I am cooking breakfast in the kitchen when I hear a bang upstairs.
"What did she throw now? Nothing was left there." I sigh and deliberate whether to go up or not. I should, what if she hurt herself?
I switch off the gas and go up two stairs at a time.
She threw my laptop on the window.
"That's it! I am calling Jay." I go back downstairs, exasperated.
What is the matter with these girls?! I don't remember the last time I had a meal in peace or slept through the night. Fuck it! Really!
I grab my shirt and lock my house to go to Jay, but instead I decide to go to FUCKING Timothy. He started it all the asshole!
I leave a text for Jay, telling him to come over to look after Carol and that she is alone.
I drive to Timothy's. Fifteen minutes later I ring his doorbell.
He opens the door and I punch his face. He stumbles backwards.
"You son of a Bitch! Why did you kiss Carol?!"
He is bleeding from his mouth and guess what, I don't care.
I punch him again. God, that feels good.
"Why did you tell the girls we had to kill people?!"
He just keeps looking at me.
They look at me and gasp. I must look worse than I thought. Ana starts crying. Jay bounces her in his arms, trying to quite her down.
Jay looks exhausted and worried. I feel so bad. Like a errant child. I shouldn't have gotten into a fight.
"Go inside. I'll be a minute." He tells me. Owww... Now that the adrenaline has worn off every FUCKING inch of my body hurts.
I drag myself to the bathroom.
I look at myself and flinch. I look like I have survived a battle or something. The Fucker hit me hard.
I wash my face and get the bloody clothes off me. I think I broke my shoulder. Moving hurts. Oh Fuck.
I am sorry Jay... I shouldn't have picked a fight... I hope he is hurt more than I am... And before I know I am consumed by blackness.
