Chapter 90

I was in my bed. I grabbed my phone and called Chuuya.

I waited.

No answer.

I sighed and put my phone on the nightstand. I didn't want to bother him.. He's probably on a job right now..

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.

~Time Skip~
I heard the phone ring. I sat up and answered it.

"Hey, babe." It was Chuuya.

"O-oh, hey.. Have you made it to Nagasaki?"

"Yeah, I'm there. How was today?"

"Boring. Finch and I just watched TV all day."

He chuckled, "What'd you two watch?"

"Well.. we watched mostly just true crime documentaries."

"Alright."

"D-did you do anything today?"

"I don't want you knowing that right now, honey. Get some sleep, okay?"

"Okay.."

"Goodnight. I love you."

"I love you too.." I mumbled.

He hung up.

I stared at the ceiling and sighed.

I heard a bark from the end of the bed. I saw Scout and Cheeto sitting there.

I smiled, "Fine. You're lucky that you're potty trained.." I patted beside me.

They barked excitedly and laid beside me.

I laid on my side and pet both of their heads.

I closed my eyes.

~The Next Day~
I woke up to see Scout licking my face.

I smiled and moved her off of me. I sat up.

My smile faded away and I sighed.

My head hurts.. I could barely sleep at all last night.

I got out of bed.

~Time Skip~
I walked inside the kitchen to see Finch at the table.

I sighed and walked over to fridge.

I grabbed the egg carton and closed the fridge. I noticed Finch staring at me with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"....Nothing."

"You can't just stare at me and say it's nothing."

"Well, it's nothing.."

I glared at him and gave up on arguing with him. I'm not in the mood anyway..

I looked at the eggs and gagged a little. I put them back in the fridge.

"W-what is it?" Finch asked.

"I don't feel like eating right now.. The idea of food makes me feel nauseous."

"O-oh... I-I can just try to cook it and maybe you won't be nauseous the time I'm done."

I looked at him, "Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?"

"I just am.. Because Chuuya isn't here."

I sighed. "Fine."

~Time Skip~
I was now in an oversized hoodie over my shorts. I was at the table eating.

"This isn't that bad.." I mumbled while staring at the eggs on my fork.

"Yeah.." Finch was eating his eggs.
