A Killer's Instinct

X. Ungrateful

No One's POV.

Justin woke up the next morning expecting to see Staysha next to him like she was the morning before but, she wasn't. He inevitably got this remorseful sentiment in his gut at the fact that he had to kick her out after the shit he had put her through. Justin got up and put his sweats on, not troubling to put on a shirt as he directed himself down to the kitchen. All the guys were awake and just sat there.

They had a talk about Staysha leaving the night before and the guys presumed why, but they didn't get into much debate about it.

"It's sad to say that I'm going to miss that girl, Justin." Eric said.

"Exclusively her cooking..." Bret jumped in, making the guys laugh.

"You want to know the most fucked up thing I saw..." Justin said after a while of quiet. The guys looked at him, curious as to what he was talking about. "Her mom, had track marks, all over her body. I just had suspicions about why she and Staysha never kept in touch and that her mom was so excited to see her."

"Well, to be honest, you probably won't find out anyways because you're not involved with her anymore." Gunnar said. "I honestly and utterly approve with your dad, and that you need to be more vigilant and thoughtful around girls, they all end up having to hideout or just end up dead." Justin nodded his head at Gunnar's little speech. He knew they were both right and that he wasn't certified to be elaborate with Staysha anymore.

But, for some reason, Justin's mind wandered off to Staysha... He wanted to know how she was doing but, he had no way of contacting her. He couldn't check up on her or anything. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't because their phones were most likely tapped, and it could put her in more risk than she needed to be in.

Staysha woke up early, she checked the time from her phone that was resting on the floor in the charger, seeing that it was almost nine in the morning. She wandered off to the kitchen, watching her step from all the miscellaneous items on the floor. She looked around to see what there was to eat before cooking herself some bacon and eggs. Her mom was still asleep, Staysha wasn't astounded. This was just like the old days when she used to live with her mother.
Staysha's mom had woke up a couple hours later after Staysha had gotten dressed and chilled inside. She went straight into the kitchen making herself some coffee and looked at Staysha who was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey, sweetheart." Her mom started, expecting a reaction but didn't get any. She sighed, but tried to keep going. "Did you sleep okay on your bed?" She asked.

"I slept fine." Was all Staysha said.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to lunch with me and spend some time together." Her mom had offered.

"No," Staysha said.

Staysha's mom sneered, "Why are you doing this to me? I gave you my house to stay in and you act like such an ungrateful bitch towards me! I'm still your mother." Her mom yelled from the kitchen. Staysha disregarded her. Staysha's mom ended up throwing the coffee pot on the hardwood floor before storming off to her bedroom. She came back out minutes later all dressed up and stormed off outside. Staysha just shrugged and continued watching tv.

A couple hours later Staysha received a phone call from Anna, asking how she was doing and that she hasn't seen her in a while.

"I'm doing fine, honestly. Don't worry, I'll be back at work on Monday." Staysha assured.

"Alright, well are you able to hang out tonight? I miss going out with you." Anna asked.

"Yeah, honestly anything to get out of this house." I said.
