"Are you excited to get drunk because I am so excited to get drunk!" Mercy yells as she's finishing packing her bag as we are upstairs in her room. "Mercy, it's 11 am, I am exhausted. We are not getting drunk as soon as we get there." I say for the eighth time and plop onto her bed.

"What time did you go to sleep?" she asks putting her hair into a ponytail in front of her mirror.

"Like one." I say, not lying. Hero and I were up pretty late trying to find the perfect apartment, well not so perfect but one that would be good for us.

"Doing?" she asks and turns to me.

"Thinking." I say and she nods. "Same, but I was having phone sex with Ian." she says and I sit up. "Ew." I say and she shrugs.

"It's fun, highly recommend." she says and I shake my head. "Absolutely not, I've only kissed a few times, phone sex seems like too much absolutely not." I say, thinking of Hero and I doing that then I snap out. "Especially since I've never had sex, phone sex is a no no." I say and jump up off her bed.

"Find someone, you need someone." she says.

I yawn, "I don't know." I sigh.

"You need someone to get real with, someone whom is not my brother which Jack thinks for some werid ass reason." she says and my heart drops.

"He's getting on my damn nerves." I say. "He won't leave me alone and now he's just making rumors! Like why are you doing that!" I yell.

"Like he knows what would happen if you were with Hero, he's insane thinking you'd ever do that to me." she says and my heart drops and my stomach knots. "Right. I don't know what's wrong with him." I say and let a deep breath.

What is she saying would happen if I was with him?

"What's up guys." Hero says walking in with a grey hoodie on, black sweatpants and a black beanie and holy hell-

He looks so hot, everything.

I don't say anything and Mercy looks at me then him. "We were just talking about you!" she says and zippers her bag shut.

"Were you now?"he questions.

"Yeah, but it wasn't anything good so don't worry." she says and I laugh and he rolls his eyes.

Once we are getting into the car, they're Aunt and Uncle are coming along as well. I hugged them and they're Aunt was saying how beautiful I am, she's the sweetest.

"Um, Mercy can you sit in the middle or do I have to again?" I ask her and we are putting everyone's in the trunk. "I can not sit by him during car rides, absolutely not." she says and I sigh.

"Merc!" I pout, only doing this so it isn't obvious, knowing I very much want to be next to him.

"Absolutely not, I know you guys hate each other and all but I hate him more." she says and slams the trunk and I sigh.

We get into the car and then we all have blankets, because it is freezing outside. We're in the third row again, they're Unclr and Aunt in the second row and obviously their parents in the front.

"I can't stand being stuck back here with either of you." Hero says huffing and puffing.

"Suck it up bitch." Mercy says and leans forward and throws her middle fingers up at him.

"Mercy Lynn!" Jean yells from up front.

"Mom, how did you even hear that!" she yells and I try to hold on my laughter.
