Work. I didn't mind my job. I work for Nate Gabriel vendor an old friend of mine from the orphanage me and panic ran of to at 14.
I'm not going to dive into that though. Nate , me , panic and Rhett were something of a group. We were friends for a brief moment until Nate got adopted by some big shot who melded him into becoming the perfect vessel for a money loving succubus. Blake. I didn't mind Blake he was a ok boss he knew about business and how to keep employees around. I didn't like how Nate was stuck with him but Nate seemed happy so I'm over all fine with it. After all Blake wasn't horrible to him I've seen how others treat vessels. Nate's well off.I clean up the bar it was the end of my shift. I finished the pretzels panic left me. I brought them with me mostly because I love pretzels I ain't sure why I like them. Normally I hate stuff like that. Panic left me to go with her friend. Yope I ain't the biggest fan of mostly because of her clear crush on panic I didn't really like that but Panic is perfect who wouldn't like her? Panic was straight anyway and it's not like me and her have a bad relationship she loves me and I love her. Yope is just a bit odd. I sigh and grab my bag and leave through the side exit. Blake thankfully doesn't have a uniform other than you have to wear a shirt ,bottoms and the company's vest which I had taken of as soon as my shift came to a end. I appreciate that from him. I reach in my pocket and grab a cigarette lighting it quick before leaning against the wall. I wonder what fluffy broke today? He was home alone he probably ate out of the cupboards or broke the floor boards.
I lean against the orange brick for a while until I hear a voice.
"Hey..uh pain.." it was Rhett. I look over annoyed about the fact he can just randomly bother me. We used to be close I don't like the person he's become though. He gagged seeing my top. He has a weird phobia of shirtless people I wasn't shirtless I wore a small strap top that had small stars covering the main portion of my chest. I do up my jacket and he coughs composing himself "Can I stay at yours for a while?"
"Depends why?"
"They put me in a dress for bait and duke and Chora are being annoying." I stare at Rhett I didn't pay attention to the fact he was in a baby blue dress with his hair in pig tales and covered in ribbons.
"HA...ok how are they annoying you?"
"They keep making jokes about the dress.."
"Why didn't they put the girl in the dress? Chora right?"
"They said because she can't have kids."
"What does that have to do with it.."
"THATS WHAT I SAID! AND LIKE IT WAS SO ANNOYIN-"
"Shut up..please.." I hated it whenever Rhett started ranting.
"UH NO LOOK YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT MAKES ME WANT TO BASH MY
BRAINS IN! LIKE GOD.."If he hates being there so much report it! You got adopted you complain all the time go back. I hate what the hunters did to him. They made him a loud mouth. Someone who doesn't understand the world. It was practically brainwashing. He was a good kid when me and panic met him. He cared about what we said , he understood others and he wasn't an exorcist.
"Rhett listen. If you hate it why don't you leave."
"...."
"Only joking. Fine you can stay."he smiles at me before we both start walking. I live 5 minutes away. It wasn't a long walk but Jesus it was annoying. Rhett talked loads about nothing. He never used to do that me and him would talk about stuff that made sense. What shows we liked , who we wanted to be in life and just stuff I could actually get a word in. From what I got it was about the people who adopted him. The only one I know was Jackson. He was a friend from when I was a baby practically and unfortunately what happened to him was he went down the supernatural murder path. I still think of him as a friend I just have to remember to be on edge around him. He wouldn't do anything I hope he wouldn't anyway but you never know.Before long we were back at mine and panics flat.
"You still live here?" He asked. What kind of question is that obviously we do.
"Yeah..why?"
"I thought you would move like with fluffy and all that."
"Fluffy sleeps in a dog bed or on the sofa."
"Oh..you ain't giving him a bed or anything?"
"Nah we have like the make shift room for you and that's it." The make shift room was in a closet we added a small fold down bed to it and over all we never put anything in there anyway so it was a ok use of space. I open the door and walk in throwing myself on the sofa. "So... let's not talk about the people you live with huh? I already know one of them and the other whiny teenagers I don't really want to hear about." It seemed Rhett's expression changed. It formed into confusion before smiling at me. He sat on the edge of the sofa. He spoke his voice sounded different to how it was before it was calmer and less want to be tough guy.
"Well what have you been doing then?"
"I got my ass kicked by a guy named knight and my hand bit through by fluffy."
"WHAT LET ME SEE!!!" I show Rhett my bandaged hand and he stares wide eyed "THATS SO COOL?!"
"I know right? You got anything?"
"I got thrown into a window by duke."
"WHAT NOW?!" Duke I hated the most.
"UH HUH!" He nodded smiling at me "I GOT LIKE A SCAR ON MY FACE SEE" What the fuck. He pointed to the slice across his nose. How did I not see that. As much as I don't like Rhett it's cool but worrying to hear about the fact he's willingly getting thrown about by random men.
"THATS SICK!!" I laugh. Rhett was ok sometimes it's just whenever he talks about stuff that he doesn't understand. He tries to talk about his job but me and him have a deal to not mention it around panic. She wouldn't forgive him. I don't forgive him. I miss my friend. He acts the same as he did before when he stays for a few hours.
"MHM!! It's because I have this new friend called Beckett right?"
"Mhm" hopefully I'd actually like this one.
"And and he's a new medium right he's in my class and he's so cool but he saw me and duke and he was like NAH BITCH I KNOW WHAT TO DO! And I chased him! BUT WE DIDNT GET THAT FUCKING HEADLESS GHOST IT WAS SO SO SO GROSS LIKE AAAAA!!"
"..." I didn't like hearing about the exorcist stuff Rhett needed to let it out I knew he did. I hated the people though. I hated the job. I hated who he was when he wasn't in the flat. I hated who he became I knew how he acted with us was probably an act. I knew it all to well but I hated the way he'd rant and complain and make rude jokes and over all be an asshole when he was in public.
"Sorry."
"No no continue." I smile at him.
"Ok ok so Beckett was so nice about it after and HE WENT WITH ME TO THIS POSSESSION THING AND SHE WAS LIKE ALL "come Play with me!" IT WAS SO COOL"
"That's badass like...I DIDN'T THINK YOU HAD IT IN YOU!"
