~Michaela's POV~
I was sitting on Jack's couch, my head in my hands. Delanie could be going to the hospital for liver failure if she keeps this up. No matter what I tried to do she didn't stop.
'Mick, how's D?' It was Toby.
'She's knocked out again.. Killing off the alcohol I guess.'
'That's good. I was hoping..'
'Toby, I'm gonna protect her, even if I know you.'
'But..'
'Don't but me. No.'
'Fine.. I'll text you in the morning. Nite.'
I sat my phone down and leaned back against the couch, hands behind my back. Jack came in, rubbing his eyes.
"You're still up?"
"Yeah Jack. Watching out for D."
"She's fine. Go to sleep. It's 3 AM."
"Yeah right liar." I looked at my phone. Holy shit it was 3 AM.
"Let me guess. Toby contacted you."
"Yeah.."
"Michaela. He's my friend and Delanie's BEST AND CHILDHOOD friend." Jack enunciated Best and Childhood. "And you need to go and make up with him."
"Uh.. No."
"Fine. Be stubborn. But at least go to sleep."
I crawled into the warm bed next to Delanie. I was so used to sharing beds with her that it wasn't much of a big deal.
"Kendall." I heard a whispering next to me.
"What?"
I rolled over and looked at Delanie. She kept whispering the name Kendall. What? Who the hell is Kendall?
I ignored her and rolled over, falling asleep as soon as my face smooshed against the pillow.
~Jack's POV~
It was 5 AM when my eyes opened again. I did not wanna be up at all, but after about 30 minutes of laying in my toasty bed, I got up, seeing the inevitable phase of "having a life".
Delanie was up, her hair in a rats nest and her fingers violently twitching.
"Delanie. You okay?"
"No."
"What's up?" I sat down next to her on the chair and rubbed her back. She didn't seem to notice my presence next to her.
"Kendall. Does someone here know a girl named Kendall?"
"Um.." Kendall.. Kendall.. Oh yeah! Toby's little sister.
"Yeah. Toby's little sister. She's 20. Why?"
"Is she blonde? Green eyes?"
"Yeah.."
"Then I dreamt about her last night."
I just looked at her, and I kept rhythmically patting her back. She finally stood up, my hand accidentally hitting her in the ass.
"I'm so.."
"Don't be. I stood up." She walked away, her hips straight. Delanie was walking like a soldier.
"I haven't seen Kendall since she was.. Hmm.. 15 I think."
"I just saw her last week."
"Oh lucky you." She slammed the cereal cupboard and Delanie had a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in her hand.
"Delanie.. Something's bothering you."
"Me. That what's bothering me. Me."
What? Michaela never told me that Delanie had depression.
"How are you bothering anybody?"
"With just my presence! I know Michaela is only nice to me because she FEELS bad!" Delanie slammed the bowl down. Thank god it was plastic.
"Michaela actually enjoys you. She never stops talking about you."
"Right." Delanie scoffed. Her eyes were bright blue. Like the sky.
"Hey bro.. Chill. It's okay."
"Righhtttt." There was a lot of sarcasm in that voice. I knew it from Michaela well.
"Time of the month?"
"What?! Why in the hell would you ask that?!" Her eyes grew wide and angry.
"Yep. It is."
"Shut up!" Delanie's face turned bright pink and she turned away from me.
"Toby's working on something today. You don't mind do you?"
"I don't care what he's doing." She violently poured the milk, which ended up running over the bowl.
"Okay.. Okay. He's working on Mr. Cuddles caption fail with Rhett and Link."
"I love them." Delanie's voice was monotone.
"Well.. How'd you like to meet them?"
She dropped her bowl against the counter and ran for the bedroom. Yep.. There we go.
~Delanie's POV~
I put on my green skinny jeans and my black band t-shirt. I slipped on my blue Mythical shoes and tied them. Michaela was still knocked out on the bed.
I looked at the clock.. Well no shit she'd be knocked out. It was 6:30 AM.
"JACK!" I stormed out of the bedroom to find a smirking Jack Douglass on the couch.
"I needed you up."
"What for?"
"Food and coffee. Toby and the crew are coming over here."
"What?"
"You have 2 hours."
I grabbed My keys and ran outside, my truck outside.
What the hell? I muttered to myself as I climbed into the drivers seat. Rhett, Link, and Toby were coming over...
I sped off to Vons.
~Toby's POV~
I awoke to a knock on the door. Expecting Jack, I didn't slip on anything and opened the door.
"Toby! What the hell!" Kendall was at the door with a white bag in her hand.
"Oh like you haven't seen me in only my underwear before." She stepped on my foot while walking in the door and I cringed in pain.
"So.. You're not even up and you gotta be at Jack's in an hour."
"What? It's 6.."
"Toby.. It's 7:30. C'mon. Up up." She pushed me into my bedroom and grabbed some clothes.
"Please out these on before I gag."
"Oh shut up!!" I threw on the black Tobuscus shirt and slipped on the brown shorts.
"Sorry for doing this to you Toby.."
"What?"
"I got a text from Jack...
Delanie ain't happy."
