Death's a Bitch REPLACEMENT

Chapter Fifteen: Pizza

            ~~ Death's Point Of View ~~

"Oh fuck" I said quickly getting out of bed and running to the toilet in my en-suite
I hated being sick, it was the worst feeling ever. My throat felt as if it was burnt away and my body screamed for water as I kept bringing up more and more of whatever my body was holding. In the middle of vomiting I felt my hair being held back...
Ashton... I had asked him not to leave... crap what else did I do.
I desperately racked my mind for answers all while vomiting into the toilet.
I sat back as he flushed the toilet felling the cold tiles under me... wait I wanted to sleep on the tiles in the bathroom down stairs, I was vomiting then as well.
"Oh my head" I said my voice rough "How much did I drink?"
"Seven and a half bottles of that strong shit"
I groaned rubbing my hands down my face.
"I can only remember bits of last night so if I killed someone I'm sorry"
"not that I know of, I came in when you were in the lounge surrounded by bottles so I don't think you went far"
"I am never doing that again" I said laying down on the soothing tiles, I can see why I liked them last night the coolness of them really calmed the swaying system.
"Why did you do it?" He asked handing me a glass of water
"I guess everything got to me, with Cupid gone and learning I'm pretty much dead in a month" suddenly it dawned on me
"Fuck I told you what Cupid told me... and I tried to kiss you although I can't remember anything after falling on you"
He flushed a shade darker and diverted his eyes from me.
"What happened?" I asked
"literally nothing, you go upset because I pulled you away but that was soon gone when you started vomiting in a Chinese vase thing"
"Chinese vase? Oh fuck did it have a lid?" I asked
"Not when you vomited in it, it's probably still in the bathroom"
"No its not" I said blankly
"What? How do you know?"
"I can read Ajax's mind"
"Why are you doing that?"
"Because that 'vase' I threw up in was actually an urn, an urn that held Ajax's first cat"
"Ew" was all Ashton could say
"Tell me about it, but it was a consequence I had to face for killing it"
"You killed it?"
"What me? No, where did you hear that"
"He doesn't know?"
"That I actually don't know"
Moments of silence followed as I tried tuning into Ajax's thoughts but he had his block up again, I managed to strike him when his guard was down. Ashton began fixing is hair up in the mirror as I continued to feel hungover. The headache was gone but I needed something unhealthy and greasy.
"Want to get pizza" I asked standing up slowly
"I'm driving" he said looking at a still slightly unbalanced me.
"Fine but we are taking my car"
"Which one?" he asked excitement in his voice
"The mustang, what else"
"Oh fuck yes" he said a bright smile spread across his face.

*~*~*~*

"Louisa" I yelled as I burst through the door dramatically "Where is my favorite pizza girl"
Suddenly a familiar face popped out of the kitchen.
"Death" she said with a warm smile
"Wait how does she know your-'
"A spell, she remembers me when I'm around her but as soon as I'm gone she forgets, she knows the rules and my temper but she hardly ever annoys me, she gives me the best pizza ever how could I be pissed off?"
"Good point"

"Your normal table?" Louisa asked shyly
"How many times to I have to tell you not to be scared of me?"
"Sorry" she said eyes looking to the floor
We were taken to a table in the corner. Louisa politely stood there as we seated ourselves.
"What can I get you today?"
"I'll have a meat lovers, a hawaiian, a margherita and peperoni" I said casually already knowing the menu off by heart
"and you?" she kindly said turning to Ashton
"Um... I'll just have the same"
"okay I'll start on your order, any drinks?"
"Coke zero" I said with a smile
"Just normal coke thanks" Ashton said
"Okay I'll be back as soon as I can with your order"

It wasn't long until Louisa returned with our drinks making sure she had put extra ice in mine, I didn't even have to ask her. Now that's what I call good service.
She returned to the counter and pulled out a book, a book I recognized almost instantly although last time I saw it; it was on a computer screen.
"You got your book published?" I asked her.
She shyly looked up and put it down.
"Yeah, a publisher found my work and loved it so they published it for me, there isn't a massive amount but it's a start"
"Hells shits, that's amazing. I can't believe it finally happened" I tried to sound surprised.
Louisa disappeared into the kitchen again to check on the pizza when Ashton turned to me.
"That publisher didn't just happen to find her work did they?"
"Well they might have needed a little push"
"What did you do?"
"Nothing illegal, and it's not like he can remember it anyway"
"Death" he pushed
"Okay, okay, maybe he lost a couple of fingers in the paper shredder, it's nothing major"
"Major? Death what the fuck?"
"She's a good kid, she deserves a chance. Her book actually had potential, unlike anything I could ever write"
Before Ashton could say anything else Louisa returned with our pizza's managing to balance all eight of them.
"Enjoy your meal" she said with a smile as she left us to eat.

In minutes I was already through two pizzas and was about to start my third when a sharp pain hit me, pausing me in my tracks.
"Are you okay?" Ashton asked noticing my sudden pause from eating
"yeah, I think my headache has just comeback from earlier"
"Death you should be over that and angels don't just casually get headaches, whens the last time you reaped?"
"Before I went to your training thing so it's not that"
After saying that the pain got sharper.
"Death we should go to Ajax"
"I'm fine" I snapped at him

That's when I saw him, staring at me through the window. For a moment I thought I was just imagining things, that I was hallucinating but it was four words that flew out of Ashton's mouth that confirmed it.
"Is that your father"
and with that sentence he disappeared
