Bane of my Existence

Don't Bum Me Out

"I meant every word I said boys. Do what you guys want! You're young and you have no responsibility. Go take that day trip to Canada or drive down to mexico as long as you get what you need to get done finished and your safe." I told them.

"Thanks V." Luke said. I pulled them into a hug before spotting mag and alec.

"Okay let's head to the city boys." I told them. We all met in the parking lot while we decided what to do.

"So let's head to central park and walk around?" Mag suggested.

"First let's run home and change." Alec said.

We ran back to the house to change into some casual clothes and change cars. We took the range rover and my escalade and barreled down the freeway back into the city.

I walked hand in hand with Alec and Magnus around central park. We really took the time to enjoy the scenery which is something we don't usually get to do.

"I love this city but I'm glad we don't live in it." Alec said.

"It reminds me a lot of Idris." I told him.

"This city has been my home for the last hundred years and I loved this city. I worked my way up from the bottom to become the high warlock of this city." Mag said.

"And you did so well. All of these downworlders are free because of what you started." Alec told Mag.

We sat and enjoyed the views for about an hour and a half before deciding to browse some shops.

"Mom I'm going to go to that camera store okay?" Teddy told me.

"Be good, stay safe!" I told him and luke.

...

I haven't had much to do lately except decorate the house and go shopping. Alec and Magnus have been working, Teddy and Luke have been in school for once and I have nothing to god damn do. After the third full day of doing nothing I knocked on the door to the guest room. Em opened the door with a puzzled expression.

"Yes?" he asked.

"I'm going to pick up the boys and take them to the city to do something fun."

"Is it wise to pull them out of school?" he asked me.

"Probably not but damn am I bored."

"Maybe make some friends with the other local housewifes?" Em suggested. I glared at him and threw my blade toward him.

"Or we can go and pull the boys out of school for your enjoyment." He said as he grabbed his guns.

"I need to change."

I went upstairs and put on a pastel pink long sleeved playsuit with black heeled jimmy choo suede boots and boxer braids. I went into the boys' rooms and grabbed some jeans, shirts and jackets.

"Let's free the idiots." I told em as we got in the car. We loaded into my G wagon and drove the 25 minutes to their school with only one stop at starbucks.

I sauntered into the school with Em and my starbucks and entered the school. I went over to the office to sign the boys out.

"Can I ask a reason why?" the secretary asked.

"Business." I told her.

She gave me their classrooms and I was on my way. I decided to hit up Luke first and knocked twice before a student opened the door.

"Yes?" she asked.

I walked past her and waved to their teacher. I walked over to the teacher and handed him the note.

"I'm taking Lukey over here." I told him. Luke stood up and grabbed his stuff.

"What's up?" he asked.

"Let's go." I told him.

We went and grabbed Teddy and headed back to the car.

"I have the best lunch place in town." I told the boys.

We arrived at the bar where there were already people day drinking.

"Damn it's 10 in the morning people." I said as I took a seat at the bar.

We all took a seat while my favorite bar tender sat handed me a water.

"Good morning to you too sunshine." Tom said.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"The girl of my dreams is boning another guy and I'm hooking up with my friend." He admitted.

"Wow man I'm proud of you." I told him. He smiled and handed me my sandwich.

"Damn you were the only one who made it out of the midnight bar crawl club." He told me. I made a face and frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry." I told him.

"She's also engaged."

"Damn man." I grimced.

The boys ordered some food and two beers after they persuaded tom to give them.

A body came tumbling in and sat down at the bar.

"Damn you look even worse." I told the incoming bystander.

He laid his head on my shoulder before I laid my head on his.

"How's it hanging baby daddy?" I asked.

"She's having a baby and it's not mine." He said.

Let me introduce you to the midnight bar crawl club composed of 4 idiots who drank too much. Our meetings consisted of hanging out at tom's bar, getting wasted and waking up upstairs in his attached apartment. This club has been together for 6 years.

"You really are a baby daddy then." Teddy said.

"Hi to you too." He told my kid.

"Hey Uncle Ken." Teddy said.

Luke's phone rang and he went to check it before throwing it across the room and then running to pick it up.

"What's up?" Teddy asked.

"My girl broke up with me." He said as he downed his beer.

"Join the club." Tom mumbled. Ken nodded.

"You are all such a bunch of mopey dicks. Finish your drinks, we're leaving this depressing beer hole." I told the bunch.

"Thanks." Tom said.

"No offense."

"None taken." He sighed.

I got up, shook off the sadness and started planning.

"It's Christmas in New York city and literally all of us except for you are single, why should we be happy?" Ken asked.

"Because moping around about how the girl you like pushed you awaybecause she's afraid of commitment and having another man's baby is not goingto help. And you Mr. Sleeps around bartender, the girl you're in love with isengaged to a man who is so much like her I don't understand how their not thesame person and you both need to stop because you're seriously bumming me out."
