___________________

"could you buy some onions as well and some more cereal, we're running low." jasmine asked into the phone. "yeah because you keep eating it all, gawd damn." i muttered lowly as i picked up some of her favorite cereal. "look, if you get it and no one touches it for a while then it's gonna get eaten."

"whatever, and what do we need onions for?" i asked confused. "deja needs them for this meal that she wants to cook us for dinner. not that i think everyone is going to make it through dinner." jasmine mumbled and i nodded.

we were trying to get everyone in the house to be social or just cordial with one another. mainly just kiana and eren because they were after each others necks over the most pettiest shit. i couldn't take it and that's why i decided to be the one to go grocery shopping. i needed to get out of that house and not to mention, it was bad for me to be stuck in the house while i was sick.

"don't buy too many groceries because they'll just go to waste."

"yeah, yeah i know. i'mma be back in a few minutes." i rolled my eyes and tossed some oreos into the cart. "AND remember that you'll be the only one home today besides eren because everyone is going into work."

"damn, that's right. why can't one of y'all stay with me." i pouted into the phone and jasmine scoffed. "that's what you get for getting sick. have deja make you some soup before she leave, she still here but about to go."

"nah it's cool, i'll try and make myself some."

"okayyyy, i'll see you later. be safe!"

we hung up and i got the rest of the things that we needed around the apartment. i felt sad that i would be home alone with eren. don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with eren but i missed my girls. it was different now that we all had jobs and i guess i just realized that now that i'm not the one working.

i paid for all the food and grabbed the bags before heading to my car. it was cold as a bitch out here AND it was raining. i wiped my face while i got in my car and closed the door. have you ever just sat in your car for like a good minutes and tried to figure out why you were just...alive. that's what i did and then i drove off.

i was halfway home, the highway wasn't my favorite route but the streets were too long and i wanted to get in my bed and sleep my sickness away before monday. but then the worst of the worst happens. my car just starts to shut down.

"no, no! NO! don't do this to me god, please don't do this to me." i put my hands in the prayer position and closed my eyes. it was too damn cold, too damn rainy, and i was not about that life.

i turned the key, my engine sputtering until it gave out and didn't turn on again. "fuck!" i had no one to pick me up. yelena was working while i was out, eren didn't have a car, the girls were out and i was fucked. i thought for a while about what i could do. i could hitch hike but that was my last option. i wasn't trynna get lynched out here. or i could just walk home in the rain but that would probably make me sicker.

i would die either way but i didn't wanna die from a hate crime so i got out, grabbed the groceries and grabbed all my important stuff before walking. i was regretting going out...at ALL. the rain was so heavy and everything was drenched. i looked back at my car, seeing that i barely made any distance. i sighed and continued walking.

"i hate my life."

"bruh, what took- oh my god. what did you do, walk here?" i walked through the front door, drenched in water and ridiculous tired. eren stood there in the kitchen at a standstill, just staring at me. "can you just help me please?" i groaned, so close to dropping these groceries.

he ran over to me and took the bags out of my hand before going to the kitchen. "and to answer your question, i did walk in the rain. i'm so sick of cars." i wiped my face from the water. "you walked?! no one could pick you up?" eren asked and gave me a stupid look. i peeled off my jacket and my hat, before taking my shoes off and putting them by the front door.

"i'm done with my life for the day, when deja gets back please tell her to make me some soup." i begged, defeated in all measures and i walked to my room. i needed a shower and i felt sticky and disgusting. my phone was soaked and i needed to put it in rice.

i sneezed so hard that it took me a minute to figure out my life choices. i needed a shower, food, tissues, and sleep. that's all i needed. i hung all my wet clothes up and headed to the shower, turning it on and i waited for it to get hot.

after a while, i didn't see the steam on the mirror and i put my hand out and it was cold. "bro, don't do this to me." i cried and put my head in my hands. "fine, i'mma just take a cold shower." i gave up again. i did not have the strength to deal with this.

i got in and wince from the cold, washing up as fast a possible and running the cold water through my hair. i quickly got out and wrapped a towel around me and around my hair. i didn't feel like drying my hair, hell i didn't feel like doing anything but i pushed through a little more. with some warm pajamas on and some socks, i took my hair down and blew it dry.

it hurt because it was tangled but i continued and put it in a bun to deal with later.

i sighed and realized that my body ached so bad. it was only saturday and i still felt like shit, probably even more than i did before. i wondered if i'd get better before monday, i wanted to walk into work perfect.

"bro," eren knocked on my door. "deja came by and made you some soup." i could cry happy right here just from that. i nodded, "i'll come get it, thank you." i smiled, finally at least something was looking up for me.

i walked out of my room and into the kitchen to get my soup before retreating to my habitat. on my way there, i turned on the heat and waited for it to turn on. i needed it to be warm because i was freezing. once in my bed, i ate my soup, got comfortable and checked my phone to see if it was dry.

i immediately got a call form jasmine and it scared me. "kota! you walked in the fucking rain?!" i winced and pulled the phone back. "look, i had no one to take me home. everyone was at work and i didn't wanna bother." i covered myself in my bedding. "you are sick probably even worst. i would have took off." she spoke and i shrugged. "i got home and i got the groceries so everything worked out. i might have gotten worst but i managed."

jasmine sighed, "deja told me saying she made soup, is there any left?"

"yeah, i won't eat all of it because i'm about to sleep after a long day but i can't stop eren."

"oh shit, lemme call him."

"okay, love you."

"love you too."
