Chapter 1: Video Games

Liam's P.O.V

"FIRE!" The general screamed.

"Liam, turn your game down!" Kris growled, causing me to jump a little. "Geez, Kris! I'm right here, no need to yell. I bet the angles in Heaven can hear you." I grumbled, turning my game down a little so she wouldn't flip a bitch again.

"Honestly, Li, I can't even right now." Kris said through gritted teeth. Angry tears flooded down her cheeks.

"Aww, Kris! Come on... You know I hate tears." I said, gently placing my limited edition Powerpuff Girls PS2 controller. "Krissy, I'll make you some soup."

I got up from the beat up beanbag chair and opened the cabinet. "Tomato, Chicken Noodle, Wedding... Anything sound good?" Kris shook her head.

I bit my lip, pulling my wallet out of my pocket. When I opened it, cobwebs and lint greeted me. "Er.. How about we go to a restaurant?" Kris must've heard the doubt in my voice. She knew I couldn't afford a can of her favorite Alphabet soup, let alone a restaurant.

Kris ran her hand irritably through her long dark hair. "I'll be in my room. Just remember to keep the damn game down." She trudged off to her room and shut her door lightly.

I turned on my PS2 again and switched the game to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

"Aw right, mate!" Ty exclaimed loudly. I hissed at the screen and lunged towards the TV. "Shut up, Ty!"

Kris's P.O.V

I felt bad that I had yelled at Li (Liam), but we were broke and I had a headache. I just got done my shift of my third job. We both tried hard to keep our tiny but homey appartment, but paying rent was hard. I had to work three jobs and keep up with my studies, while Li worked two jobs and had to pay off rent for the month recently while I was still trying to scrape up money.

Sadly only a few days ago, the jackass I used to call my boyfriend broke it off with me. He said I didn't pay enough attention to him. God! What a waste of my time! I wish we could ask for help. But, I knew I couldn't go back to my parents, I had to prove to them that I could make it. Without their help. Plus, Li had troubles of her own. Her parents had moved across the country to Texas for some wacky reason.

I sat on the edge of my bed and grabbed my walet. I counted, " Ten.... thirty.....forty five......sixty nine... eighty.... ninety... one hundren and twenty... two hundred.... three hundred." I sighed smiling. God bless the last table I had waited on. They tipped me thirty dollars! I smiled opening my door, with my headache gone, I approached Li. "Hey! I have about three hundred. Lets go grocery shopping! By tomorrow, if I get more tips we can pay rent for another month!" I squealed. "Yay!" She responded getting her bag.

On our way to the grocery store, we decided only to spend one hundred dollars on food and fifty for bathroom supplies. "Lets split up. This way we can get this done faster. Here is the money and list for the bathrom stuff." I said handing them over. I knew I couldn't trust Li with food shopping. Last time I sent her to get food she came back with a whole uncooked turkey, a can of corn, walnuts, a liter of soda, and a bag of chips. I only told her to get five ears of corn, a rotisserie chicken, salt, a six pack of sprite, and a can of pistachios.

I walked done the pasta aisle grabbing a box, then grabbed a jar of pasta sauce. After getting the things I needed, I headed to check out. I looked at my list. Crap! I forgot to get cereal. I quickly ran down the aisle. There was only one box of Pops left. It was on the top shelf. I was only 5'6 and the shelf was a foot taller than I was, but the box was all the way in the back.

I jumped and couldn't reach it. I kept trying, when a male voice interupted my thoughts. "Need any help? Shorty." I turned around to face a guy in a black leather jacket, dark washed jeans, and a black shirt. He had crystal blue eyes, defined muscles, and light brown hair almost blonde. He looked 6'3.

"Excuse me. I am not short I am fairly average height! And no I do not need your help getting a box of cereal." I huffed, climbing the shelves sucessfully grabbing the box. I hopped down fro the shelf and walked to my cart. The guy followed me as I walked down the aisle.

I got to check out as he hopped the counter and put on his name tag. It read "Reed". "Oh great... " I mumbled. I placed all of my items as he checked them out. "That will be ninety seven dollars and sixty two cents." He smirked. I gave him the money as he gave me my change. I started to walk away, as he called out "See you later shorty!" I just kept walking.

Then I saw Li talking to a guy.

Li's (Liam's) P. O.V

When Kris walked away I huffed. I always get the bathroom stuff. I'm sick of buying tampons and shampoo.

I tossed a nearby box of tampons into the cart without looking at it. Hm, maybe that's why. I thought to myself, laughing sarcastically. I went to the shampoo isle next. I couldn't just toss a bottle of shampoo in the cart, because I actually care about how it smells.

I crouched down and picked up a cheap Suave shampoo bottle.It was named "Sexual Feelings ". I snorted and opened the top to smell it.

Doesn't smell like sex.

"Havin' fun there?"

I threw the bottle back on the shelf and stood up so quickly that all of the "Sexual Feelings" shampoo bottles flew into the isle.

"Cheese and Rice, man! Way to scare a woman half to death!" I raked my hand through my hair and placed my other hand on my hip.

"Now you have to help me clean this mess up." I said, sighing.

He crouched down like I had before, and picked up a slightly dented bottle.

"'Sexual Feelings"?" He raised an eyebrow in amusement. I matched his expression.

"Well there is a condom brand named Trojan, suggesting that all men have warrior-like dicks, but that's not true either."

I glared at him, waiting for his reaction. He bit his lip, stifling a chuckle.

"You are toats right!-" Wait... He sounds a little gay... "There was this guy I was with yesterday, and he didn't want to wear a condom, because he swore his dick was 'too big'. But girl, when he whipped it out, it was this big!"

He demonstrated with his finger. now it was my turn to hide my giggles.

"What's you're name, batch?" he asked me, handing me 4 bottles.

I giggled before answering. Batch? he is defiantly crazy.

"Liam. And yours?"

He smiled at me.

"Carson."
