The Only Hope For Me Is You

Sorry about not posting last night! There was an epic storm so I decided not to risk dying of electrecution... Also, my mind is otherwise occupied with a term long art assignment/writing competition/new story *hits head on wall*

Love you guys!!

Maria’s POV:

I sat across from Ray on our bed with my feet under my butt, we both sat quietly and I had my eyes slightly narrowed. “… Mikey’s taking Freddie out today?” Ray mumbled and I sighed loudly.

  “That’s cool and everything… But it’s not going t help me pee!” I muttered and Ray tried not to laugh, he looked to the pregnancy test kit in the middle of the bed.

   “You’ve already drunk four cups of water one cup of cool aide, listened to the toilet flush three times and run around the back yard twice… Maybe you’re just too nervous?”

    “When I’m nervous I have to pee more! God… Tell me a joke or something?” I suggested and laid back. Ray was quiet for a few seconds, “I don’t know any jokes… I’ll call Frank?”

    “No! Oh god no. I don’t want him knowing I need to pee.” I muttered and jumped off the bed. “I’m in a cupcake mood, let us eat some cupcakes…” I muttered and Ray shrugged before we headed to the kitchen- the one food we always had on hand was cupcakes.

I started eating my one with purple icing and Ray had his in front of him on the table, “… Why won’t you just pee-” He stopped when he put his hands on the table because he ended up putting his hand in the cupcake. I sat silently for a second before almost-literally- pissing myself laughing.

    “You just… You just put your hand in a cupcake…” I giggled before I jumped up, “I need to pee!” I screamed and Ray jumped up then and tried eating the icing off his hand as we ran to the bathroom.

I shut the door behind me before swearing, “Ray! I need the test! QUICK!”

Wren’s POV:

I watched Frank and Abi in my living room. Frank had missed Abi and those two had been trying to catch up on  five years in the past few weeks. Percy and Pansy were in their room and I could hear them making fake explosion noises from the kitchen… I got the idea Pansy’s doll was having it’s head blown up right now. “-and oh my god, Jenna won’t shut up about this comedian guy she met!” Abi laughed and Frank grinned.

   “Oooh, Jenna likes a funny man?” He chuckled. He was only saying that because Jenna wasn’t here, if Jenna was here he wouldn’t have said a thing… He had always been a bit scared of the pissed pixie.

   “Yep, his name is Joe or something. I saw him once, he’s pretty hot…” Abi giggled like a school girl and Frank was just as bad except he still had his little chucky doll laugh that everyone loved.

I smiled before I heard my phone vibrate, I picked it up to read a text from poppy. Guess what!! Xx

I pulled a face, What?!

Poppy: Not telling! U hav to guess!!

Me: But I don’t wanna! D: call me?

Poppy: Noooope ;D

Me: Why not?

Poppy: Because…

I stood for another minute and tapped my foot while waiting for the rest of her text before I heard a knock on my door. Frank jumped up before answering the door, “Popsicle!” I looked up and smiled with my eyes narrowed as Poppy came into sight with a grin. She waved at Abi before grabbing my hand and pulling me out the back.

  “Now you have to guess.” She said and I sighed.

  “A purple monkey at your unicorn?”

  “Other way around.” She joked and I smiled before eyeing her, “Okay… Well… Mikey kissed me!” She squealed and a smile hit my face before I squealed too and jumped up and down.

Leda’s POV:

Taffy used some crayons that were worn down to about an inch long stump on a piece of cardboard, I watched her draw something that looked like a ghost. Gerard had gone out earlier to go and speak to one of the producers they worked with so I was at home with Emma and Taffy. I still hadn’t seen Emma yet, I was sure she was still pissed.

 I kept my eyes on Taffy’s evolving drawing, I was pretty sure she was drawing a tree now… And a tree stump and a mushroom cloud… Fuck. Wait. “See mommy? This one is daddy… This one is uncle Mikey, this one is uncle Frankie and this one is uncle Ray!”

I tried not to laugh; the ghost was Gerard, the tree was Mikey, the stump was Frank and the mushroom cloud was Ray…

I looked up when Emma walked out from her room and rubbed at her purple head, she yawned and looked down to Taffy’s drawing. “Hey, nice tree…” She mumbled and headed to the kitchen to get a drink. Taffy just stared before shrugging and going back to colouring in some more curls on the mushroom cloud.

I stood up and headed to the kitchen where Emma was getting a glass of water, “How’s your head?”

   “It’s been worse.” She shrugged and gulped down the water before sighing, “… I’m sorry for being such a brat Leda… I will try to stop drinking… But if I can’t I just won’t bring any here.” She mumbled and I nodded slowly.

    “There will be no trying Emma, I’m going to make sure you don’t drink another drop so long as you live under my roof. Okay? You’re way too young and beautiful to throw your life away on that shit,” I muttered and Emma smiled a little before yawning again.

     “Okay… I will stop. Thanks…” She mumbled before hugging me.
