In The Eye Of The Storm

Chapter 2

(the picture above is Henry)
Jupiter walks home from work with his head hung low. He messed up once and his boss automatically fired him with out even thinking twice. He pulls his hood over his ears more and he sighs deeply. He needed to find a job quickly so he could keep things up and running for Hope. He was so focused on trying to figured out how to get his life straight that he didn't even realize that he had made a wrong turn on the way home. He looks up to see a coffee shop at the end of the corner. He looks at the coffee shop with great and utter sorrow. That very coffee shop was the first time he caught a glimpse of the love of his life. It was wear his life started but would only end in a tragic love story.

He just shakes his head looking down at his feet trying hard not to remember the feelings of that day. He puts his hands in his pockets and he glances up at the café door and there was a now hiring sign on the door. He stops raising a brow "God? Are you telling me something?" He asks looking at the sky. Then a deep voice says "yes go get your ass a coffee!" Jupiter jumps "God?!" A hand appears on Jupiter's shoulder and Jupiter frowns deeply "Henry you asshole!" He reaches around and punches him playfully in the gut. Henry groans and pretends to fall dead to the ground "oh you killed God" he calls. Jupiter chuckles deeply "shut up your closer to the devil than God." Henry nods in agreement and he stands up "what are you doing here man aren't you supposed to be at work slaving over sick people,changing bedpans , and checking for prostate cancer" Henry looks at him.

Jupiter looks down and he sighs "I got fired man." He looks at his best friend. Henry sighs "aw man I'm sorry" he says quietly. "Do you need some help or anything?" He asks. Jupiter looks at him "not yet I'm just trying to get another job as quickly as possible." He says quietly looking at the hiring sigh. "I'll be right back." Jupiter runs inside and he grabs an application. He runs back out to Henry who was showing off for two girls but walking on his hands.

Jupiter sighs "Henry come on I have to get hope from daycare." Henry winks at the girls making them giggle as he walk back to his friend. "Dude seriously you didn't even look at those girls. You need to get your man hood back." Jupiter looks at him and sighs deeply "I'm kind of a father right now. I'm sorry if I don't pay attention to women." Henry sighs "yeah, yeah I know" he says. They walk back to the babysitters. Jupiter picks up Hope "hello my beautiful girl!" He smiles brightly. She squeals with laughter and she looks at Henry. Henry makes funny faces at her behind Jupiter back. A girl walks by "aww aren't you a happy family."

Henry looks at her "no darling we aren't together. We're just friends!"

The girls smiles at him "it's 2016 honey you can be open about it now!"

Henry hits his forehead "we're not together!!"

Jupiter chuckles deeply and he shakes his head "it's not even worth it anymore." He walks back to his apartment.

Henry follows and he looks at Hope smiling. She squeals and reaches for him. Henry takes her softly "what is it pipsqueak?" He kisses her nose making her gasp and touch her nose. He chuckles at her. "Silly goose." He smiles at her. She laughs her little baby booty off. She laughs so hard she snorted a tiny baby snort. Both men stop and look at the baby.

"Did she just?" Jupiter asks

Henry nods "she did." He chuckles.
