A Gingers Crazy Love

33: Chelix (chloe x Felix)

*November first*

*Tolops pov*
I stayed in last night, watching Netflix. I don't know what happened last night but I can guess. I think a war has started between Sal and Melissa. Kiss, hug first day of the month and no returns says Sal. I get out shocked. Oh shit and she runs to the bathroom. I follow. She pukes into the toilet. Tolop, I'm craving sour and savory things. Will you prepare my breakfast? Natural yougurt with kiwis. They are in the fridge she asks. I go to the kitchen. I find a full tub of yogurt and peeled kiwis on the counter. I prepare it. Sal comes in. She's wearing black leggings, red top and a sparkly Christmas hat. My Christmas hat actually. Christmas isn't until next month. I quip. I don't care and she bounds forward to the yogurt and fruit. Dude, wanna hear a few of my childhood stories later? She asks. Sure, why not I reply. I hear Sals phone buzzes on the work top. She gets up and takes it. My phone buzzes as well. Its an Instagram notification. Melissa Ann Morgan mentioned you in their story. I watched her story. She says that Sal is a slut who will leave me with the kids when they are born. SAL, GET IN HERE, RIGHT NOW I yell. She creeps in, looking nervous. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT? I yell. She bites her lip and looks at the ground. ANSWER ME, YOU LITTLE BITCH I shout and I advance towards her. She walks forward. Her face is her usual pale milk colour. I grab her hands. They are shaking like mad. She grabs mine as well. Then she lets go and pushes me to the ground, in under five seconds. What was that for, you slut? I ask, getting up and advancing towards her again. Stop and she holds out her hand. Its covered in glitter. I stop. She brings her hands to her lower chest. She starts rubbing her stomach. Kids are kicking again she says. I sigh. I know I can get mad, really fast. My phone buzzes again. It was from my brother: You going to the reunion at Thanksgiving? I replied with Can my gf come as well? I waited. Sure. I looked up. Sal was gone.

On Halloween night, I went back to the apartment and got my stuff. Me and Felix have decided that I can stay at his place. Morning he chirps, into my ear. I turn over, grab the pillow, do a perfect throw at him with it and go back to sleep. He's going to work. I hear my near dead phone buzz. I sigh and get it.

Sal Happy November first 🙆🙆
Chloe 😴💤

I sigh again. I get out of bed. I go to my wardrobe. My head is throbbing like mad. And no, it wasn't because I spent all night on YouTube and annoying random people on Facebook. I got dressed into my yoga pants and t-shirt. My stomach rumbled. I went to the kitchen and ate a slice of cold pizza. Yes, I was aware of how much of a zombie I looked with my unbrushed and unwashed hair but I didn't care. My stomach lurched. I ran to the sink. The door knocked. Sal came in like she owned the place. Welcome to Jollywood, jollywood jollywood jollywood jollywood. I can make you groove like Bobbi Bobbi singsong she sang. She stopped. What's up with you? She asked. I just threw up i replied and reached for a piece of gum. I popped it in my mouth and started chewing. What's going on here? Asked Felix, coming in from the sitting room. BEKFAST she yelled. He rolled his eyes and he went back to the sitting room. Come with me and she started going outside and jogging on the spot. She started walking down the street. She got out her phone and put her playlist of Spotify workout music on. No, she wasn't bothered by the fact that people were sleeping nor that people were out walking. We stopped outside the chemist. What are you going in here for? I ask. Wait here and she goes in. She comes out two minutes later with a box in a bag. Go back home with this, follow the instructions and tell me what happens. I need to spread Christmas cheer around the place she tells me. I walk home. I take the box out of the bag and open it. Pregnancy test is written across the top in bright yellow writing. I take out the instructions sheet. Take out the pregnancy stick. Turn it in and pee on it. If it goes positive, you are pregnant. If its not positive, you are not. I bin the instructions and take out the stick. I turn it on and pee on it. What are doing Chloe? You are ok, aren't you? Comes Felixs voice. Yup. I hear him going away. I take the pregnancy, fearing the worst. I open my eye. Not positive it says. I scream and jump. I hear Macklemores song, Downtown, in the kitchen. I start doing a chest pop, going into the kitchen. What's up with you? As Felix eyes me. I ain't pregnant and I jump to him. My nose starts running. And my eyes have a river in them. Chloe, are you ok? You're not sick are you? He asks, turning off the Fresh prince of Bel air, season two. I'm sick. I'll text Sal to see if she has any cures I reply. My throat starts burning.

Chloe I'm sick
Sal sick of Felix
Chloe lmao. Any cures? I've a headache...
Sal my head aches listening to u complaining
Chloe lol. And a Sore throat
Sal sore from talking. I recommend flat 7up, ice cream and strepils.
Chloe go and get them
Sal u get them. My fish had that B4 he died.
Chloe ure the one who has those cures at home
Sal ok, but u have to pay me

Two minutes later, she appears next to me. Just text me if you have any problems she smiles and leaves. Felix is in the kitchen, making hot chocolate. Sals your friend isn't she? He says, coming in and hands me a mug of hot chocolate. No, she's my enemy I reply. He nods and goes to back to watching the fresh Prince of Bel air. I take a sip of seven up.
Felix, gemme a spoon I command. He goes into the kitchen. Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells comes a voice. Sally, stop being a dying rat he says to her. Have some Christmas cheer she says back. He closes the door on her and comes back in.

*Sals pov*
Later on, me and Tolop sit down in front of the electric fire. I start telling my childhood stories. So when I was kid, I was constantly in a war with the neighbouring estate. We called them The dogs. Every Friday and Saturday we would go atop a hill and fight. The winning group would get to hack off the losing groups laces and buttons. More often than not, my group won. But one Saturday, we fought to the bloody death and then we went back to the headquarters and half an hour later, one of the girls, who looked really like Melissa, betrayed us to the dogs. So basically, they got a hold of a tractor and drove right into the HQ. I was gonna die but then this dude, Joel, grabbed me just in time. But then we got into a fist fight with them and then I ran away. I was found and sent away but I escaped and was on the run until I was old enough to work I ended. Tolop was starting into space. Just thinking. Melissa told me a very similar story he told me. I told my brother that you're coming to our family reunion. He Blurt's. I spill my Coke. What the hell? I don't think they'll approve of me. I mean, I'm irish and you're Australian. I snap back. You'll be fine he replies. I go to my bed and I start thinking. I'll go out tomorrow night with Dolan.
