Chapter 64: Shoot from the Hip

Jo's POV
A week later...

Death always feels like it's lurking.

  I mean with the people were always around it's always something to worry about but I literally feels like the grim reaper was on my shoulder. Hero didn't understand the feeling, maybe it's because he's always feeling it.

  I quite literally feel like absolute shit. So many things attributing to how I feel. Part of it is the the feeling of death around me but the main feeling is coming from my pregnancy, but I'll get over it.

I mess with my hair as I drink some of the smoothie I made. It was the easiest way to get food down without wanting to throw it back up.

We're all in one big house.

So it's as much of a shit show as you can imagine.

  I'm sitting at the island counter and I can feel Daria walking up from behind me. You might ask how I know it's Daria. Well, let me tell you. She radiates an energy that immediately makes me want to punch her in the face.

  She moves to the other side of the counter and starts making some eggs. Just normal, scrambled, eggs. They smell putrid to me, but it's okay, I'll get over it once again.

  "Whatcha drinkin'?" She asks me and I stare at her for a bit. "I'm trying to be civil so why don't you play along for a bit?" She says in a meaner tone but I take a deep breath and nod.

  "Okay uh... it's a smoothie with some strawberries, blueberries, and like a fourth of a banana." I say and she shakes her head, biting her tongue. Let it lose bitch, let it all lose.

  "Thats... great," is all she says and cracks two eggs into the pan and starts cooking them.

  "I can tell you've got a problem with me," I say to her and she shakes her head. "Let it lose," I say as like a free pass.

  She thinks about it and then nods. "Okay well, we're all only using the bare of what we have. You using all those berries for yourself is selfish." She tells me and I smile a bit at her.

  "The bare of what we have would be you using one egg rather then two." I say to her and she shakes her head.

  "They're small eggs, but you shouldn't get more then anyone else," she tells me and I laugh a bit.

  "I'm not, but whatever you say," I say and take my cup, and sip the smoothie before going upstairs to me and Hero's room.

  I place the cup on the dresser and lay down. The bed is so comfy, I could lay here all day. I hear people talking downstairs, but that's normal these days. We're not separate anymore, we're all together.

  Not long later, Hero comes in and I sit up. He shuts the door angrily and I look at him confused. "Sorry, I wanted Daria to think I was mad at you," he tells me and I roll my eyes.

  "She had a fucking fit because I made a smoothie." I tell him and he laughs before sitting next to me and pulls me into his lap.

  "Well we're not supposed to me making things that use a lot of resources." He chuckles to me and I shake my head slightly.

  "It's the only thing that could get food into my system without me throwing up," I say and he nods, rubbing my hips. "God, she's such a fucking bitch," I mumble and he kisses me.

  "You could... go show her how much of a bitch she is," he tells me and I smile. I can tell he's fed up with her too, so I can put out the fire... literally.

  "Don't tempt me babe," I say and he smiles.

  "That's the thing, I'm suggesting you do it," he says and I giggle, nodding. I get off his lap and go over to get my smoothie, sipping it a little before going back downstairs.

  Hero follows me and it's just gives me more confidence. "Hey Daria," I say and she looks up from her plate at me.

  "Yeah?" She asks and even though people are around us, watching us, it still feels like we're the only two people in the world.

  "You're a fucking bitch, you know that?" I say and she looks at me pissed.

  "Who the fuck are you to say that?" She asks me and I laugh.

  "I'm the one who's fucking your boss," I say and look at my smoothie. I can hear people whispering around us, about us, but I don't even care.

  "Yeah well, we all knew that already. It's kinda hard to miss," she tells me and I sigh.

  "Wow, you got me, you won. Congrats," I say sarcastically and she rolls her eyes. She must see Hero because now she's talking to him.

  "How is that fair Hero? She's using more then what she needs!" She yells and I laugh, not letting Hero answer.

  "It's fair when it's the only thing you can keep down. So do me a favor and fuck off. It's petty girl drama and we have better things to worry about then if you're happy or not," I say to her and I watch her face flare up in anger.

  "You're gonna regret that, fuck you," she tells me and I laugh.

  "Fuck you actually," I say and take the cap off my smoothie cup and pour it all over her. I hear some of the guys cheering in the living room and I smirk. "Don't fuck with me," I say before turning around and walking back upstairs.

  Hero follows me and closes the door to our room before pulling me closer to him and kissing him. "That was amazing," he says to me softly and I giggle a bit.

  "All I did was put her in her place," I say softly and he smiles more.

  "But it was amazing," he tells me and I giggle, kissing him again.

  It's moments like these where I want to stay here forever. I'm scared that one day this will all be ripped away from me again.

I will do anything to make sure that doesn't happen.

I'll even die.
