Chapter 41: Not That Stupid

Omg guys. The creepy dude at my job is so weirddddd. So I went to the bathroom on the 1st floor right, because we have a free tampon dispenser in there and I left mine in my other bag at home. I come out, I see him sitting at one of the study tables with some other students and I avoided ALL eye contact. Not even five minutes later this man is STANDING AT MY DESK. Followed me up to the 2nd floor to the main office. He goes, that's a pretty cool vase you got back there. I literally forgot that thing was sitting back there and I was like, oh yeah a professor gave it to me and he says, you don't have any flowers in it. I go, yeah just didn't feel like going out and buying more. He then asked me what my favorite flower was. I said I don't discriminate against flowers and then he's like 😏😉 I'll keep that in mind and then left. 

A few hours later I'm standing at the bus stop waiting to hop on so I can go tf home and he shows up on his bike, sets it next to the bike rack then comes to stand three inches behind me. I didn't even look twice at him but he had headphones on and was shouting lyrics and dancing like an idiot. Then my bus comes, TELL ME WHY HE CAUGHT THE SAME ONE AND SAT TWO SEATS AWAY FROM ME????? 😭😭😭 universe when I said I wanted somebody to shoot their shot at me, I SPECIFICALLY said SOMEONE HOT. Not this gremlin. 

Ugh. My love life is a mess. I'm so over it.

"Once?"
"Yeah. Once," you snapped back at Jay, "You can't exactly tell a man like Viper that you're no longer in love with him. H-He goes crazy,"
"So...you've been pretending," Jay breathed deeply before he rose to his feet from Mako's couch,
"I had to," you sighed with your arms crossed, "I-I figured if I just saved enough I could pay my debt and leave that way,"
"But he never let you," he nodded, rifling through the fridge and pulling out a loaf of bread, a stick of butter and cheese,
"No. Every time I brought it up he didn't want to hear it," you huffed frustratedly, "He wanted me to run the Triple Threats with him,"
"Doing what exactly?" Jay questioned, setting a wide skillet on the hot stove,
"Collecting...payments a-and other things," you admitted sheepishly,
"Collecting?"
"Okay. Stealing," you scoffed, "He needed something. I went and got it. Didn't matter how, just as long as I did,"
"And you were paid for this?"
"Sometimes," you admitted sourly,
"What about the other times?" Jay asked while you paced the room and rambled, completely oblivious to the fact that he had your medication tucked between his palm,
"It was my punishment for pissing him off," you answered angrily,
"Were you ever caught?" he questioned, discreetly placing two of your pills in the center of your grilled cheese before you could notice,
"A-A few times,"
"Strange," Jay pointed out after placing your sandwich on a plate and handing it to you, "I didn't see a record on you at the station. Only your brother's,"
"Viper had it redacted," you sighed, eating absentmindedly while Jay made a sandwich for himself, "It was...h-his way of getting me a gift,"
"A gift? A gift for what?"
"F-For moving in with him,"

"What the hell is wrong with you!? Let him out!" Kuvira shouted at Rohai before stepping back and bending the earth beneath her feet. Deep enough to where she was able to pull Shah to the surface, "Shah! Shah!?" she pounded onto the crystals he was still trapped in,
"He can hear you, but he can't respond," Rohai smirked slyly,
"You son of a bitch. Why can't I bend this!?" Kuvira hissed,
"Hmm. Shall I draw your attention to the metal panels inside the crystals?" Rohai grinned, waiting patiently for Kuvira to focus,
"I...I-I can't feel them," Kuvira panted, "They're...platinum,"
"Hmph. Correct," Rohai chuckled while he sipped his coffee, "You can try and bend him out of that but unless you know how I bent him into it, you'll most likely crush his ribcage or any other bones he may find vital,"
"Why are you doing this!?"
"Why!? So you can do this!" Rohai roared, "I told you, I will not let your bending slip into the hands of those who want to see it go to waste!" he snapped, raising his open palm and bending the crystals tighter around Shah's body, "Kuvira, I am no longer asking nicely. This idiot may mean something to you but he means nothing to me,"
"Stop!" Kuvira pleaded as she sank to her knees, "He's...H-He's the only good thing I have left," she admitted softly,
"Then I suggest you choose now before he runs out of air," Rohai nodded, "He made his choice when he barged into my room last night and demanded I let you remain in contact. I refused and he was still willing to die for it," Rohai nodded, "Are you going to let him just to spite me and the Dai Li?"
"Hmph. You let him come back," Kuvira ordered,
"Oh? And why would I agree to that?"
"Because I said so. You want to keep me here? He comes back," Kuvira hissed with her fists clenched,
"What part of you don't exist outside of these walls are neither of you getting? He'll do nothing but distract you–
"I don't get distracted!" Kuvira snapped at him, "I only get better,"
"Is that a promise?" Rohai questioned curiously,
"Hmph. It's a guarantee,"
