Blue Royalty: New Blood

As she should have expected, Lenora’s words did not go down well with Ricky - who was still missing the correct context she had been yearning to tell him. Of course nothing would go down well coming from the person he thinks cheated on him; not only did she not want to be associated as this anymore but she really wasn’t fond of hearing from Ricky the intimate- and false- details about how she did so. “I did not-” Lenora tried to interrupt Ricky’s storytelling, but her voice was immediately drowned out with him continuing. “Crazy right? …” She leaned into her chair with a sigh as he recited. This would be the first time she had heard his actual view on it, and how Ricky actually pictured her ‘cheating’. This was his view on her - and this was her first and final opportunity to change that.

“Ricky, I need to–” “Do me a fvcking favor, Lenora…” But Ricky was making that opportunity very difficult for her to take. “There’s something–” “Maybe I should even thank you…” Nope, Lenora was talking to a brick wall. A venting and insulting and accusing brick wall. “Can you just–” “You can’t trust your fcking friends…” Lenora’s interruptions had been receiving no acknowledgement from Ricky. Her eyes quickly switched over at the door which had been undisturbed by their teacher for perhaps far too long - she could use a disruption he would actually stop for. The longer Ricky went on the more so her urge and impatience to say what had been holding in all this time. This was happening, it was coming, she was saying it. “Enrique, I–” “–And fck the hell off for the next hour–” “–I never cheated on you.”

The silence that arrived harshly contrasted their arguing voices that once filled the room. Somehow with an entire explanation equipped, Lenora was still stuck on where to start. It wasn’t exactly something she had rehearsed recently - nor was this the way she had pictured telling him. “I didn’t,” She started, just in case he hadn’t heard that first time. “I didn’t- it wasn’t- my mom had a—” Though her words were quickly cut off by Ricky getting out of his chair, and walking… out? No, towards the desk. “What, what’s this, what are you doing?”

”Surprisingly I’m not the one who’s not supposed to be here ” she said as she looked at him, lowkey confused by the sight of this familiar face in the starring role of a burglar. Was she surprised by the fact someone tried to break into their house? Not at all, and it probably wasn’t a first time, that’s how life works when you have things worth enough money for people to steal and get financially stable in no time, but by someone she knew that’s definitely a first.

You must be asking yourself why wasn’t she at school really? But let me tell you it’s none of your damn business. But this was definitely an unexpected turn of events that honestly kaya wasn’t really sure how she was supposed to handle, this wasn’t a proper burglar goes armed robbery, this was a weird teenage boy who broke into her house and started staring at a family picture out of nowhere, did I already say that’s a little suspicious?

”of course I want a beer” she said and grabbed the beer from his hand ”And a side of an explanation of what the fck you’re doing breaking into my house ” she added, raising her brow at the boy. Technically, he wasn’t wrong, she was supposed to be at school, but hey so was he, so much for double standards.

Honestly, if there was one word that could describe the girl in front of him - it was calm. Specifically, eerily calm. Like, hello, Kaspian broke in - he was expecting a little more of a scream. Or even a get the hell out or I’ll call the cops before she started throwing things at him. Instead, he simply got a girl who looked slightly confused and annoyed at the intrusion. “Want me to apologize? Because I don’t usually break, enter, and get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness. It doesn’t have the same ring as breaking and entering you know.” Kaspian stated with zero hesitancy in his voice.

Handing the girl her own beer, Kaspian pulled the fridge magnet that functioned as a bottle opener off the fridge and opened his own bottle before throwing it in her direction before taking a seat at the kitchen table. Propping his feet up on a nearby chair, the man took a long drink. Though, even when his drink was finished - he had no intention of answering her question… or more like… her demand to know what the hell he was doing in her house. “You know, I don’t like you. I don’t know if I haven’t made that fact apparent or not over the past few months, but I just don’t fcking like you. Honestly, everything about you is simply… bothersome to me. Your friendships are idiotic - that zek guy, a fcking nuisance - your family, fcking annoying including that kid you brought to the frozen yogurt place… it’s just every fcking thing about you. I just don’t get it.” Kaspian added, taking another drink. “I’m curious, do you have any life goals or is riding on your dad’s wealth and fcking around basically it?.”

CerealKiller · 7 December 2022 02:29

”I don’t want you to apologise I really could not give a sht about that” she said, picking up the opener and opening her own beer, in a situation like that one definitely needs a damn beer.

But then he just started going on and on like a salty little btch talking sht about basically everything in life that was related to kaya in one way or another, like yeah okay but obsessed much? ”okay okay hold on, first of all, shut the fck up ” she started, lowkey starting to get way more annoyed than confused with every word that came out of his mouth ”you can’t just come in to my house UNINVITED, sit in my kitchen drinking my drinks and talking shit about my family” she went on, ”guess what, I don’t fcking like you either, might be a shocker to you but not that great, you’re actually kind of an annoying little btch so if we’re both agreeing on something for once, maybe do us both a favour and get the fck out of my house” she stated, taking a long drink of her beer and putting it down on the table looking over at the boy who had the audacity to still sit there ”you’re still here, get out ”

For the first time since Kaspian had… met… the creature in front of him, Kaspian actually smiled. At least she had balls. It was pleasantly surprising - far more fun than sh**tting on a doormat, which, by the way, he had every intention of doing. Though, technically, Kaspian was actually hoping to do so without anyone home. Perhaps instead of stealing, Kaspian was going more on the route of trashing everything in this residence but… well… Ishida’s adapt.

“Personally I believe any door that can easily be broken into, is an invite,” Kaspian revealed in between her words as she kept talking… screaming… arguing… oh who the fck cared. It was basically leave blah blah blah I don’t like you either blah no one wants you here blah. Boring… especially when she had yet to answer any of his questions. “Do you have anything stronger? I’m going to need it,” he added, getting up and going towards what he believed was the liquor cabinet which… bingo… it was. Grabbing it, and then opening her freezer and grabbing a ben and jerry’s which he recently learned was an ice cream flavor, Kaspian took a drink only to be followed by a spoon fool of ice cream as she keeeept going.

Alright, he was getting bored now - ignoring her last statement to leave

“How about this, I answer any of your questions, and you answer mine,” Kaspian added. With that, he put down his spoon and grabbed the beer that was almost done. Finishing it with a last few gulps, Kaspian looked into her eyes - staring dead ahead before allowing his hand to over past the table, and drop the bottle on the floor smashing it into a million pieces below their feet.

“We’ll make it a little game. So, why am I here beside your door being dreadfully easy to open? Well, I came here to do… a lot of that all over this… gorgeous house. Too bad you walked down right before I was about to get started. Now you, again, do you have any life goals? Perhaps it’s to get locked back up in rehab? I mean, what else can you do when you have absolutely no talent,”

@CerealKiller

CerealKiller · 7 December 2022 03:08

”Any door can easily be broken into when you know how to do it” she said, sort of dismissing his words, like come on, the door wasn’t easy you’re just a little criminal and know how to pick a lock, go brag about it to someone else or something.

As he got up looking for stronger booze kaya sighed and rested her back against some wall, as he clearly was not listening to anything she was saying or for this matter it didn’t really seem like he was in any rush to leave, but at the same time she’s was kind of curious what the hell was going on in that boys mind, like, is this normal? Just breaking and entering and chilling in the kitchen with a beer and ice cream? Honestly, get some help dude.

So she let him, standing and watching him as he grabbed stuff from the cabinet, Kaya sat down at the other side and rolled herself a cigarette, half listening to what he had to say. ”what’s your point? You don’t care about my goals, I don’t care about yours, why are you wasting my time?” she asked ”i just assume that’s what you do with your time when you as well have absolutely no talent” she added casually repeating his words, lighting her cigarette as she spoke

“Oh and she thinks she’s smart too. Actually, there are doors that are harder to break into - yours familes’ is just… pathetic though. An amateur could break in and get away with it, and honestly, I’m the furthest thing from an amateur.” Was there really an argument here? No, but it was entertaining to bother the sht out of her. He could see it in her eyes, the anger bubbling up even though her tone was even. Pure entertainment - that’s all this was anymore. Sure, Kaspian had a plan coming in but this was… far more interesting than he could ever do himself.

Taking another drink of the rum he had grabbed, Kaspian watched her as he rolled a cigar asking what his point was. What was his point? Well, genuine curiosity was a a part of his point. Perhaps the rest of it could be singled down to the fact that he was just fcking bored. Or, maybe it was because he was running out of fcking time. Who cared? What mattered was that he was here - in her kitchen, drinking her food, eating her dessert, and ruining her day. “Truthfully, I was expecting more from you Kaya. I actually came to this stupid little town with some expectations, as crazy as that sound. I expected to see someone who was going somewhere. Someone who had a bright future ahead of them. Someone so fcking impressive that it made sense to me - you know? But what I see in front of me is a piece of sht bum that’s headed absolutely nowhere. Correction, with the sht you do when you’re alone, maybe you’ll go straight to the grave and join your mother.” A laugh left Kaspian’s lips as he took another bite of the ice cream which, thank you Katherine, was starting to become his favorite kind.

There was a dull expression on his face - showing absoutly no emotion as he took a longer drink of the rum until he could feel himself becoming numb. “It honestly makes me wonder - why you? Why your fcking mother. I mean, if he was going to be a shtty father anyways, why the fck did he have to pick the second child. But honestly, seeing how you turned out, I’m thinking I didn’t really want him in my life anyways. But it makes you wonder, you know. Why? Why? Honestly fck you Kaya. Fck your dad, or our dad, whatever,” and with that, Kaspian’s took the longest drink yet. And yes, it was 10:15 in the morning. Yes he was wasted? Who are you? His dad? fck off.

Carter hadn’t planned on stopping by a small cafe that day, but when he drove by it happened to catch his eye. It was simply by chance that he found himself walking inside. He had just come in when his eyes met the gaze of the girl behind the counter. It was a girl around his age with the sweetest smile. There was no way to not smile in return as she asked how she could help. “I’m doing fine, better now actually.” Sometimes, all it takes is the sweet smile of a stranger to turn things around. At the very least, even just interacting for a few moments with someone nice was far better than thinking about the argument with his mother he had left the house to get away from. “I just came in to get a blueberry muffin. But what about you, how’s your day going? People aren’t being difficult for you I hope?”

With her shoelace once again tied, Bree picked up her drink and was ready to leave, and not bother the girl more than she already had. However, after Bree had questioned whether or not the girl went to Cerulean high, the girl not only said that she did and also seemed to recognize her, but introduced herself as Artemis and asked if Bree wanted to sit. “Sure if you want me to, I was just going to head out, not interrupt your time more than I already did.” she said before sitting down in the seat across the table from Artemis. Bree wasn’t really needing to sit at that point, planning to head back outside anyway, but who was she to say no if a girl from school was wanting to talk with her? “Artemis, that’s a cool name. I’m Bree.”

Would anyone be surprised to find Zek like this, in this situation on a normal school day? If your answer is yes then you’re sooo wrong. In fact, this was nothing… Sure it would get him in some… A lot of trouble later but hey, fun is fun. It’s fun to have fun and make sure your friends are having fun. Like he said, only the best for his favorite people.

[color="#707151”]”Hey heeeey I don’t tolerate any strawberry slander in this bus,“[/color] with one hand on the wheel as he began driving away from Hal’s house the moment she was all comfy, his other hand rested over his heart hurt with her statement. ”I do all this for you and that’s what you do to me? Oh Ton… Things I have to endure for love,“a playful smile met his lips as he looked over at her, letting his gaze rest there before focusing back on the road. Their whole story was… Cute. Two kids meeting at a concert, getting along, staying in touch but it felt so surreal to have her here with him, in the town he grew up in, to go to the same school. Maybe he was a little bit high right now and shouldn’t be driving but he couldn’t keep a smile off his face as he thought about that. You smile like that when you’re happy you can finally spend more time with your friends… Right?

The real question is - where is he taking her? Well, he has absolutely no idea. He didn’t really think about that part but here they are and the decision should be made. The problem is… They are in this huge ass bus and Zek doesn’t really want anyone to see it considering he borrowed it for a few hours. ”Alright sooooo we’re getting milkshakes and everything else is a surprise,“ yeah, a surprise to both of them. He’ll figure something out on the way there, spontaneous dates are always the best. Ask Kaya.

[color=“#707151”]”How’s life? Hm… How’s life for you?“[/color] Now here’s the thing - Zek thinks it’s more interesting to hear about other people, what could he possibly say about himself and his perfectly perfect life at the moment? Nothing! Yeah… [color=”#707151”]”Found new friends you’re going to replace me with yet? No… Don’t tell me… You already hurt my feelings,“[/color] laughing lightly, withouth thinking about it he placed his hand on her knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. [color="#707151”]”Okay but… Listen, I don’t mean to, I don’t know, control who you spend your time with but I’ve seen a fewwww things here and theeeeere and… People here really suck, don’t get invloved in unnecesary drama with sucky people, yeah? I adore you but you picked the worst school,“[/color] pulling his hand away, he smiled at her. ”At least they know how to party and speaking of concerts - We’ll find something.“

You’d probably expect her to be a little more surprised about the whole my dad has another kid thing, but it wouldn’t be a first time so at this point it wasn’t as shocking to her. He’s handsome okay he gets around we get that we’re cool with that, but how did he make such an obnoxious piece of sht? It’s probably the mothers genes if we’re being honest, the McAllisters are great.

”most likely wherever I go is better than you because by the way it’s looking now you’ll probably end up in prison, yay you, the disappointment of the family” she muttered ”I have goals, and im working for them, but I don’t see a reason a piece of sht like you deserves to know” she added, turning off the cigarette and grabbing the bottle away from him, after all, it was her bottle stop drinking my booze dude I need it

”I don’t care who’s son you are, you’re not my brother, you’re not my family, and if you keep talking about my mother like that I swear to god I’m not gonna let you walk out of here back to your obsessive loser life” she told him as the anger just kept growing in her body with every second. She didn’t have anger issues, not at all, but her mother was just a tough spot, not so hard to figure out why that is. But as this stupid fcking kid sat there and bashed her family, she just couldn’t help it. ”you really want to know why he picked the second child? Because the first one is an incompetent waste of air, that’s why. So go cry about it to someone else because I could not give a single sht about how you feel”

”fck you too.”

astxrism · 7 December 2022 12:53

Better now actually. OMG. There are many things strangers could say to make your day better, to make you smile and out of everything this guy decided to say that. Of course he could’ve meant anything with that but could you really blame Katie for thinking it’s because of this little interaction? It could be, you never know, one could only hope… But maybe she shouldn’t jump to any conclusions and not let it get to her because you know what will happen? She’ll think about it all day, like aaaaaaalll day. It’s already not fair enough that he’s so cute.

”Glad to hear that,” another sweet smile for him. And you know what else is not fair? That she met him this way! Out of every possibility it had to be while she’s working? Good thing they don’t go to the same school because that would be a little… Awkward? It’s not like she would avoid him but he’d see a different, in Katie’s eyes, better version of her that fits perfectly into that school. You have to sacrifice a lot to fit in and she desperately wanted to have friends there. Sure some of them know who she is, yeah she picked this place and knows the son of the owners who goes to her new school but the ones she really wants to befriend spend their days in places like Vegas! When are they ever going to bump into her like this? Never. But on the other side it felt nice to… Be here. Like this. To be herself.

”Alright, one blu- Oh,” it’s not unusual for people to make small talk with her while waiting, it’s something she got so used to but this. Woah woah woah. he asked her how her day is?! He’s concerned about her and hopes people aren’t being difficult. Come onnnnnn. Alright, alright, calm down. Katie bit her lip trying to hide her smile as she grabbed what he asked for, turning back to him. ”Well, what can I say… it’s going. Better now,” she mumbled those last words, for that second avoiding his gaze. ”And you know people, there always has to be someone who is difficult but I’d say they’ve been good so far,” laughing lightly she held his gaze, thinking of ways to keep the conversation going, not let him leave just yet and ignore other people who are waiting. ”I mean… I just got here so you’re like my first today- Oh that doesn’t sound… good. I just… Anything else for you?”

Artemis shook her head when the girl said she interrupted her. “Nah, it’s ok. I was getting a little bored anyway. I’m glad you showed up. I’m feeling surprisingly social today. Usually I’d just about bite someone’s head off if they so much as looked at me. Well, that depends on my mood, actually.” She smiled slightly when Bree said she liked her name, leaning across the table with an outstretched hand. “Thanks, Bree is a pretty name too. Believe it or not, I can actually shoot a bow. What ever you do, don’t startle me when the arrow is nocked. The last time that happened, I accidentally pinned someone to a tree and nearly shot them in the rib. They were ok, though.”

“Oh and painfully ignorant too… I’ll add that to your terribly long list of all the reasons why you’re a piece of sht, just like your mom.” Kaspian laughed at her sentiment of him ending up in prison and being a disappointment. Which, did he even care? First of all, he was already a disappointment to one side of his family. Second of all, he didn’t really consider the btch in front of him as family, or her father either. He was simply curious - and this conversation was answering all the questions for him. On the prison note, from all the research he did from the piece of sht father that spent two minutes making him in his mother, well, it seemed that would probably make him proud seeing as the man was in juvie for 8 months when he was around Kaspian’s age.

Though it wasn’t like Kaspian’s family would let him go to jail anyways. That was money for you.

"Don’t get me wrong, Kaya, I don’t care who the fck you are either - because you’re certainly not my sister. Genetics or not, that doesn’t change that fact. You weren’t even supposed to be here today, I was simply having some fun fcking up your life… well… specifically your dad’s but you just had to butt in on that too, " Kaspian noted, frowning when she took has drink. Though, he only found himself laughing at her next statement. Again, at least she had balls. It was truly the only compliment he could give her - and trust him, he’d seen far too much over the past few months.

"Well…, " Kaspian started, standing up and smiling as he walked towards her, only to walk past her and back towards the painting in the living room. "If you don’t mind, I’m going to finish exactly what I started…, " With those words, Kaspian grabbed a spray paint can from a bag he left on the side. And with black paint, he wrote “Piece of SHT” in big letters, ruining such a nice picture of the three.

@CerealKiller - I’d love for andy to walk in any time now

CerealKiller · 8 December 2022 00:22

Andy wasn’t home as you probably realised by now, but as he did walk through the door what he found inside was… well… ”who the fck is that?” he asked pointing at the unconscious man on the floor.

Wait what? Let me take you on a little flashback. “You’re a piece of shi kaya yada yada I don’t like it mom booze spray paint” -Kaspian, and next thing kaya knew, she let her anger get the worst of her, and considering the two were in the kitchen, which had bottles and pans and stuff (not your best pick kaspian) she just grabbed the almost empty bottle of rum that he was originally drinking and just smashed it into his head while he was vandalising her house. To be fair, it’s self defence.
She didn’t know why she did it or what the hell was she going to do now for that matter, so she just didn’t, she stayed there with that stupid piece of shi laying on the floor, potentially when he wakes up he can GET THE FCK OUT

”congratulations, you have a son” Kaya said and turned away trying to calm herself down (just saying smashing stuff is very relaxing) as Andy came home eventually, seeing this little scenario in the kitchen.

”what are you talking about?” Andy asked in confusion, like yeah he had a son but this wasn’t about that son, since when did he have another son? I swear mans needs a vasectomy.
”don’t ask me ask him” she added and pointed on kaspian, who technically should be waking up at some point

@benitz786 yeah

benitz786 · 8 December 2022 01:03

Great. Here he was… in this bullsht situation. Fcking great. It was almost ironic, perhaps his upbringing wasn’t the best - but there was one thing his family always told him again and again. “Kimochi wo osaete” which roughly translated to Don’t let your emotions control you. It didn’t matter what age of life he was in - whether he was happy at getting a present on his birthday… if he was angry for some reason or another… it was always those words. Perhaps that’s why his grandparents were emotionless pieces of sht. His mother… she was always different. Well… he did also believe she wasn’t his mother for most of his life but that was irrelevant.

That being said, what did it matter when he reacted like this? Drank a little too much, lost control, let that ass hat throw something at the back of his head resulting in him being useless. What was the fcking point. Great. put another mark in the disappointment box for his family.

Though, his family did also teach him a few other tricks. One of which was to never let people know your next move. As much as his head was pounding, as much as he wanted to squint his eyes, to move… he didn’t. He was listening and getting a sense of hs surroundings as he woke up. So far he knew a hand full of things.

Well, his hands were full in the sense that they were clearly tied up. Some sort of rope… or another was tightly bound on his hands and legs and, as much as he didn’t mind being tied up in other situations, this was not that type of situation.
There wasn’t just one voice in the conversation anymore, there were two. Though, they were distant. Not distant enough for him to make any sudden movements, but distant enough that opening his eyes without any other words wouldn’t alert them to him being up.
His arse of a sperm donor was the other voice in the room.

Opening his eyes, Kaspian watched from afar - his ears ringing as he tried to listen in on what they were saying - though honestly, with his eyes blurry, his head hurting, and his ears ringing that was fcking difficult. What he did know what that Kaya was standing in front of the portrait he had spray painted, using a cloth to wash the paint off while talking to her father.

Moving his eyes lower, he found that he was, indeed, tied - something that Kaya had probably done while he was out. With a silent sigh, the man started moving his hands to the rope, slowly untieing it. I mean, come on Andy, teach your kid how to kidnap someone properly at least. After a second, he was out of the knot and moving up to get to his feet before he heard a voice. Or, at least the voice was starting to form sentences who the actual fck cared what they were.

“I’m leaving. Don’t worry, this entire story’s kind of played out by now.” Kaspian let out, his jaw hurting as he begin on the knot at his feet. “Also, Kaya - learn how to tie a fcking knot. For fcks sake…” he muttered, unraveling the tie before getting up off the floor. Seeing as he was still in the kitchen, Kaspian walked back towards the liqueur cabinet to grab another bottle of anything honestly. And with that in hand, he looked the man staring back at him in the eyes. “Mind if I take this as my inheritance? Of course, you don’t - appreciate it, McAllister. Lovely seeing you for the first time in two decades. Should I expect you at Christmas in another two?” he questioned, popping to top and taking a drink to help his… oh so painful headache. Thanks Kaya.

Was he listening to any of the sht she was trying to get out? No. Why the actual fck would he? Why would he spend the next hour listening to her stupid little voice as she cried about Elio and her breaking up. Nope, that was not something that Ricky had planned for himself today. Honestly, he was this close to sneaking out of this stupid room. This fcking close.

This.

Fcking.

Close.

But damn it, Fin’s dad was going to kill him if he dtched again meaning… that couldn’t happen. But do you know what could happen, he could drink… and if he remembered correctly from the Detention Dragon talking earlier, the girl sitting near him was exactly the reason there was a nice little bottle locked up in front.

“-I never cheated on you.”

And then he really shut up. Did he believe the girl in front of him? God no - there was no chance of those words being true. He had asked her straight up, and she had agreed. Actually, she had a more pitiful response and said I’m sorry. Then, shortly after the break-up, she was seen hanging out with Elio. How shocking. It was, even more, shocking that she and Elio started dating.

So, with a roll of his eyes - he went through with his initial plan, walking towards the desk. Taking a seat on the teacher’s desk, Ricky leaned down putting in a code he had memorized from… so many days spent in detention. With the code, the locked desk opened and Ricky pulled out a lovely bottle. Taking a second to accidentally lock the front door and lower the blinds, he opened the bottle and took a long swing.

“What does it look like I’m doing, Lenora? If I’m going to have to sit hear and listen to this sht, I rather be wasted so I can’t remember your bullsht lies in a few hours.” And with that, he drank some more. “Honestly, I have to say, I’m actually kind of impressed that you brought this to school. What did Elio do? Fck you up so much that you’re an alcoholic now? Here’s a little tip - next time, pour it in a fcking water bottle.”

“Right right right right riiiiigihhhhht, come on in. Mi casa es su casa” Mateo let out quickly before jumping out of the way. And yes, he quite literally meant jumping. This man did not MOVE like a normal person, he jumped. But like, that was totally more fun than walking. Who just walked out of the way anways? BOooooring. Letting the girl in - followed by a hyperactive dawg coming in riiiiight after, Mateo closed the door behind her before walking in front of her.

"SOoooooo you ready? " Matty asked before walking with her… okay dragging her and running inside his house as he named all the stuff he could see. "OKAY so that’s the kitchen, and that’s my mom’s piano, and that’s my dad’s office over there and AND annnnnnd come here, " he muttered, leading her outside to the backyard where the pool, and the garden, and the TRAMPOLINE were. Remember what I said? Jumping man, it’s the future.

“You wanna jump for a bit? And then we can train dawg buuuuuut jumping wayyyy better.”

Yes… thank you, Jared.” A long sigh left her lips as Emmy closed her eyes, smiling only because she felt Piper’s arms wrap around her. “I’m sorry… I know we had our lunch date and I’m already had you waiting for me for an hour.” Emmy mumbled, turning around in her chair to look at Piper. “Dan said something stupid and the Washington Post has been at the forefront of it - and I’ve just doing damage control since 6 AM. I swear to fcking god that man is trying to ruin any relations we have with our competitors. Like, look, we all know Apple hasn’t been relevant since 2020 but god, Dan. You don’t say that they’re prehistoric and should stop fcking trying god.”

Emmy ranted, before standing up and wrapping her arms around Piper. And… well, maybe hugging turned into kissing. Though, before either of them pulled apart - a voice broke through the office room. Pulling away, Emmy turned finding Piper’s little brother walk in - with… well… an interesting question. One that caused her to look at Piper immediately to see if she should even… well…say anything.

“Hey Eddie. Yeah she… she is. Sorry… I know some things have come out about her in school but… yeah, she’s my little sister and she’ll always be. I don’t… honestly Eddie I don’t know if I should answer that question…” and with that, she looked back towards Piper. “You two were inseparable, Eddie.” Emmy sighed before walking towards him. “And I bloody mean inseparable. You came to our house to hang out, she came to yours. There honestly wasn’t a day where the two of you weren’t playing one game or another before you…left.”

Three babies. Three newborn babies. Don’t get Jordan wrong, he loved them. He loved each and every one of them, but part of him was still dealing with the fact that he hurt his wife. He was… struggling with not being next to her every night with his arms around her, kissing her. And on top of that, he wasn’t sleeping. How could he? Part of him just wanted to make sure that Jez could sleep… the other part of him just couldn’t… his mind just going to every terrible thing he had done to Jez every time his eyes closed.

That was exactly why he was awake in the kitchen drinking his 6th cup of coffee when Jezebel’s phone started ringing… and with his wife being asleep for the first time in a long time as well…he answered it. That was what led him to a place he didn’t think he’d be finding himself back at this soon - the hospital with his stepdaughter covered in cuts. Jordan had seen her while she was still unconscious, and nothing could describe the worry he felt as he asked the nurses what was going on. And, for the last 20 minutes, he was tracking down the doctor only to learn that all the hospital knew was that someone had brought her in unconscious and that she would be okay.

“Sir, your daughter’s awake.”

Jordan turned to face a nurse who was walking towards him, thanking her immediately before walking back towards Laurel’s room. He heard her words, and a frown met his features as he took the seat next to her.

“I got the call that you were here and I was worried about you, Laurel. What happened? Are you feeling okay?”
