Chapter Seven

Ella was royally pissed off.

Like, really royally pissed off. 

How dare Josh get on as if the pregnancy was all her fault. Why did he persist to act like he was the mighty man who could do no wrong? God, he wasn't perfect. He fucked up just as badly as she had. Ella wouldn't be angry if he'd just admit that he shared the blame. It wasn't like she raped him or anything, he had played a part in it. 

The next morning Ella was so angry that she almost squashed a carton of orange juice in her hand when Claudia returned. Luckily Connor had been standing beside her and took it off her before she could, putting it on the counter where it would be safe. "Josh, Claudia's back!" Connor yelled.

Josh came down the stairs, jumping the last few to meet Claudia at the door. "Hey babe," he said, giving her a kiss.

"Hey Josh, how's the arm?" Claudia replied, giving him a kiss back.

"It's alright, not as sore any more. Although the cast is annoying, especially when my hand itches," Josh explained as they came into the kitchen hand in hand. Connor rolled his eyes at the soppy sight and sat down at the islet with his plate of toast. Ella tossed him the peanut butter jar he'd left behind on the counter, which he almost dropped onto the floor.

"Don't throw food around Ella, it's unethical," Claudia said, slipping into the seat beside Connor and crossing one leg over the other.

'Don't throw food Ella, it's unethical,' Ella mouthed, pulling a dirty face as she turned around to get the cereal box out of the cupboard.

"You're making it sound as if she scooped it out with her fingers and chucked it at me," Connor said. "She passed me the jar, jeez, calm down."

"Which you nearly dropped," Ella pointed. She looked over her shoulder at Connor and grinned, laughing when he banged his fists together at her. Turning back around, she poured some cereal into her bowl and leaned against the counter.

"You don't throw anything in the kitchen," Claudia corrected, giving Ella a pointed look. "Isn't that right, Josh?"

"Huh?" Josh looked like he hadn't been listening, a piece of toast he nabbed off Connor's plate in his mouth. "What was that?"

"Throwing food, isn't it unethical?" Claudia asked, batting her eyelashes in a ridiculous fashion.

"Oh, yeah, totally," Josh answered, nodding.

"You weren't even listening!" Ella accused.

"Yes I was, Ella," Josh said. He glared at her with a sharp gaze. Ella scowled and resisted the urge to flip him off for his ignorance. She knew for a fact that he hadn't been listening and was just going against whatever she said just because he was mad at her. Well, screw him, she was still royally pissed off at him too.

"You're just going with what she says so you can fuck later," Connor muttered through his toast. Ella choked on her cereal, having to put the bowl down and pound her chest with her fist. She went to the sink and got herself some water, gulping it all down in one.

When she got her breath back, Josh was giving her a funny look. Ella glowered, feeling the blood rush to her cheeks for a reason she wasn't sure. What the hell was he looking at? She grabbed her bowl again and ate the rest of her cookie crisp, not caring that she was eating a children's cereal. In reaction to what his brother had said earlier, Josh hit Connor upside the head.
