So sorry this is a really late update but I have been trying to finish my other book so enjoy.

"Hey, Jordan. I don't mean to freak you out. But I think that guy is following us."

"Oh please Faith, you think every man that's interested in you is following you." She looked up from the rack of shirts and froze as her eyes landed on the guy. Her eyes seemed to glaze over then almost instantly she looked over at me and smiled. "Lets go get some lunch."

"We just ate?" I gave her a questioning look as she just shrugged and pulled me out of the store and out to the car. I looked back over my shoulder to see the guy stopped by two more people.

He looked really pissed off as his eyes never left mine.

We hopped in the car agueing about what to do and where to go then after a couple minutes of driving I finally seemed to convinced her to go back to Tims places. Once we drove up and parked he was out the door and opening the passengers side door. "Are you alright? I heard what happen."

Giving Tim a weird look I hopped out of the car and walked into the house. I can't really complain, but they have been really weird for the pass couple of days. Tim seemed to be more controlling over every little thing Jordan seem to do as she became more moody.

There was no one in here and perfectly clean, that's another reason I love being over here. Tim's parents had a clean come around once a week and help out around the house.

¥¥¥¥

Its been two weeks since Tim and Jordan had there little fight.

Two weeks of working and going to the gym. Tim was a little hesitant about having me out at night for some reason but now he's relaxed and him and Jordan are planing to go to Europe.

I was kinda of jealous because I never really get to go anywhere but I gave up trying to go with them. I need to save up money anyways, its about time I get my own place.

I walked out of the dinner, it was a rather slow day, overcast and gloomy out. Not even Jerry seemed to want to come in.

"Faith dear...." I looked up and smiled at Dana as she came outside. Right now I was on my break and snacking on some Lays Chips when she came out. 

"Hey Dana, where's Jerry? He's always here first." I moved over  a little on the picnic bench so she sat by me.

She gave me a tight lipped smile as her eyes seemed to fill with unshed tears. "Dear... Jerry, he had a heart attack last night... And didn't make it..."

I chocked on the chips and stared at her with wide eyes. "What?" That couldn't be right. I must have heard her wrong.

"The funeral will be in a couple weeks Faith you were like his grand-daughter an- Faith were are you going?" I quickly scrambled through the dinner, grabbing all of my stuff before heading out the door. "Faith!" I couldn't turn back, I knew what she want to ask me. Jerry would always joke around with me about having me give a speech at his funeral, but I couldn't deal with this right now.

Right then the clouds gave way and the heavy rain poured out washing away any lone tears that escaped my eyes.

I walk and walked for what felt like ever. I didn't even notice were I was going until I stopped in front of my house.

Looking around I took notice that my mothers car wasn't in the drive way so I quickly fished out the spar key from the old welcome mat and unlocked the door.

Stepping onto the porch I shook out the rain water from my coat as I took it off and hung it up. It was slowly getting dark and the house looked deserted besides all the empty beer bottle and cloth everywhere, no light was on, there was no home feeling in it.

I sighed, kicked off my shoes and turned a couple lights on. I was tired but I don't think I would be able to get any sleep right now. Besides it was close to being six I could at least get a couple good hours I'm to clean before Tim will notice that I not coming back to his place.

Picking up a couple of bottles I walked them to the kitchen and threw them away, turning a light on and then turning towards a radio. It was old but it still got a couple good stations once in a while.

And that's what I did for the rest of the remaining day was clean my mothers mess, I cleaned and cleaned till it was spotless, but it didn't matter I knew the moment that she came back to the house everything would fall apart again. But at least I tried and that's the only thing someone can in a world like this is try, right?

Tim called but it was already well past midnight and I had already fell asleep on the couch. It wasn't until I smelt the sausage and bacon in the morning to realize that he came to look for me.

I yawned and stretched to get my feet on the ground and stand up. Walking into the kitchen I had to hold back vomit as Tim geld Jordan up against the counter and kissed her like she was his damn air. "You guys are burning the sausage." I smiled to myself and grabbed a piece of bacon before I was pulled to Jordans oversized chest. "Jeez Jor you trying to strangle me."

"Faith we heard what happen." she replied. I quickly swallowed the lump in my throat before I pushed away and gave them a shaky smile.

"I'm okay, its not the first time I lost someone, and it wont be the last." I flickered my eyes outside as something red flashed behind a tree, looking back at Tim he smiled and went to the cabinet and grabbed out some of my pills.

Those damn things were everywhere.

Tim handed a pill to me as another red figure popped up and the whisper increased. He smiled and replied "The sausage isn't burnt, just extra crispy."
