The Lost Cause And The Loner

Twenty Six.

"I feel sick." Ebony moaned.

"I know, Ebby." I stroked her hair as she leant over the bucket. Jordan walked in with a grossed-out expression.

"Why do I have to clean up the vomit?" he frowned.

"Because she wanted me to give her cuddles afterwards." I chuckled. "And besides, you always used to clean up my vomit when we went to parties. You're a professional."

"Oh ha ha." he stuck his tongue out. "Fucking hilarious."

There was a knock at the door. I looked at Jordan with a loving expression. He rolled his eyes and answered the door. "Hey, Annika." he smiled. "Who's this?"

"Sasha." the girl said, confidently.

Wait... Sasha? The Sasha? From the pizza place?

They walked in, and I saw the dark skin, dark hair and light clothes. Yep, that was 'The Sasha.'

"Oh, damn. Hey guys." Sasha said, catching sight of Ebony and I. "Hope you haven't been getting into any fights?"

"Nah, I'm not a fighter." I shrugged.

"Could've fooled me." she smirked.

"Oh my god!" Annika suddenly squealed. "Ebony! What's wrong?"

"Hangover." Jordan explained. Ebony nodded, her skin completely green. "Trust me, I was the vomit collector."

"Alex... You've taken my innocent little Ebony and made her into a rebellious monster." Annika pouted.

"I wouldn't say that." I shrugged.

"She would never have done this before. But to be honest, its better this way. Rules are stupid, sometimes you just have to do your own thing." Annika smirked.

"True dat." Sasha fist pumped Annika.
"You know your cousin is safe with me." I promised Annika. "I'd never let anything hurt her. Fucking hell, I don't know what I'd do if I lost her."

"Imagine waking up one day and she was gone forever. What would you do?" Jordan asked.

I honestly don't know what I'd do. How would I function? Looking at her dark hair and long eyelashes, I knew at that moment that without my little Ebony, I'd die.

My bubby. I really love her. A lot. It's like an obsession. I've got her little life in my hands, and I have to use all my strength to keep her safe.

If anything happens to her, its completely my fault.

"Hello? Alex?" Jordan laughed.

"Um. Well... I was thinking about the question. The answer is I'd probably just die. Every day I'd get thinner and thinner, until I'd just waste away. Then I'd die." I shrugged.

"Damn." Sasha bit her lip. "You better fucking stay with him, girl."

A/N: I was just thinking about this, and if you've read Unwanted Hero or Life With The Wallflowers, don't you think Ashley would like Sasha. Maybe they'll meet one day.
