Adopted By Who?

Lucifer's Waterfall

(A/N: This will probably be a really short chapter. I just wanted to put this in here because this is hilarious to me. Anyway, yeah. Short filler chapter.)

We were in Chicago now and it's been two weeks since I told the guys about my disorder. They've all made sure I ate normally. They made me tell them every time I puked. I've only done it five times in the last two weeks. I was proud of myself. I was doing good.

As of now? I was horrible. I went to the bathroom to pee and now I'm stuck with bloody underwear. I forgot to pack pads. I honestly completely forgot about my period.

Fuck. My. Life.

Who is going to be the coolest about this? Dad would completely flip and freak out. Vic would be an awkward mess. Jaime would make embarrassing jokes the whole time. Mike would want to get it done and over with. Mike probably won't make a big deal about it. Mike it is I guess.

I cleaned up as much as I could and went out to find Mike. I found him in his bunk. This is going to be so awkward, "Uh, Mike?"

"Yeah Baby Turtle?" He said, opening the curtain all the way.

"Uh, I need to go to the store. Like, right now."

He looked at me concerned, "Why? Are you okay?"

"Uh, my monthly subscription of Lucifer's Waterfall is here," I whispered, hoping he would catch on.

He raised an eyebrow, "What the hell does that mean?"

I groaned, "It's my time of the month, if you know what I mean."

"Oh, like you're on your...period?"

I rolled my eyes, "Way to be blunt about it, but yes. I need to go to the store."

He nodded, "Okay. Why didn't you go to your dad, though?"

"Are you kidding me? He'd freak the fuck out."

"True. Okay let's go."

"Hey dipshits, we'll be right back," Mike said to the guys.

We walked out of the bus and Mike hailed a taxi. We got in and the driver drove us to the nearest store. When we got out Mike leaned down and whispered, "You're getting this shit. I already have to do enough of this for Alysha."

I nodded, "Just give me money and you won't even have to go in with me."

"On one condition."

"And that is?"

"Get me a candy bar."

I rolled my eyes, "Are you on your meriod?"

"What the fuck is a meriod?"

"A man period. Hence, meriod."

"You are a strange child."

"Just give me the god damn money."

He gave me the money and I went into the store. I found the aisle for period shit and grabbed a pack of pads. I went to a self scan because no fucking way was I going to let someone scan my pads. That's awkward. This whole fucking situation is awkward. I grabbed Mike his damn candy bar and surprised myself when I grabbed myself a Kit Kat. I paid for it and left. I handed Mike his candy and he hailed another cab.

When we got back to the bus I quickly changed and threw the old underwear away. They guys were wondering where we went. My plan to avoid anymore awkwardness was ruined when Mike bluntly said, "She's on her period and she needed lady shit."

I felt myself blush, "Mike!"

"What?" He said innocently.

"You can't just say that!"

"Why not?"

"It's weird and- ugh! I'm going to my bunk."

"Remind me to stay out of Kaylen's way when she's on her period," Jaime said.

I groaned in annoyance loud enough for them to hear. Today was a mess.
