Falling Skies

Falling Skies - Part 21

----------

Hello!

So, school started, so I'm sorry if I can't update as much as usual.

(Laughter because I barely update anyways.)

*Night*

Everyone was gone, and I was relieved. I walked up into my room where Jack sat on my computer. Once I closed the door, I began shedding off my dress.

"Wow, okay, buy me a drink first." Jack said, turning to look at me.

"Ha, ha; very funny Jack," I rolled my eyes at him. After I put on some more comfortable clothes, Jack ordered pizza.

"Lets hope theres a hot girl outside for us this time, huh?" He said a while later when the doorbell rang. Hank was at the door talking about how he didn't order any pizza. This is when Jack squeezed through, "Oh, that- that's for me." He said, handing her the money and taking the boxes.

I was looking at her the whole time, this was the same pizza girl who was here last time.

"Oh, hey beautiful," Jack said, leaning on the door frame.

"Okay, that's enough," Hank said, pushing him lightly back inside, closing the door. Afterwords he gave us both a glare and headed upstairs.

I sat on the couch, eating a piece of pizza from the box that sat on the coffee table. After finishing a piece, or two - who's keeping track? - I realized Jack hadn't shown up in a while. I gave a confused look to no one and got up off the couch, walking out of the room in a hunt for Jack.

After looking all over the house, I walked outside and what I saw surprised me.

Not only was Adam's car in the driveway, but I walked upon Adam... and Jack, swinging punches at each other.

Before I even had any time to yell, Adam threw a punch that sent Jack to the ground. And I have to say, the anger and rage on his face - mixed with all the blood and bruises - was scary enough to send me running in the opposite direction; but I didn't.

"HEY!" I screamed at... well, either of them, making my way over. Adam looked up at me, his expression softened when he saw me.

"Addie..." he started, but I didn't want to hear it.

"Enough." I said, kneeling down next to Jack, taking his head in my lap, "Hey, hey," I said, patting his cheeks.

"Addie, relax, I'm not dead," Jack let out a weak laugh. His face was bloody and bruised, probably more than Adam's was.

I let out a loud sigh and stood up, helping Jack to his feet as well.

"Why are you babying him?" Adam asked loudly, "He's the one who started everything-"

"I don't care who started it," I said allowing Jack to stand on his own since it wasn't even that bad, "You guys are acting like children right now; now go inside." I said, thrusting a finger towards the door.

"But I-" Adam was about to start again.

"Again, you're acting like little kids, now go inside." I yelled at them both. I was the youngest out of us all and I was the one acting like a mother.

I followed behind them inside, and led them both into the closest bathroom, I sat Jack on the closed toilet since he had the worst of the injuries.

"Now," I said after getting out all the cleaning materials, "Who want's to talk about what happened?"

"I don't know what happened, I just pulled in and he came outside and started yelling at me!" Adam explained, leaning against the cabinets, arms crossed.
