The Sword Swallower's Cousin (A Mister Morgue Fanfiction)

Chapter 3: Love

Unexpected stuff will happen this chapter.

"You don't have to do that."Morgue said, kneeling beside me. I was hammering a nail into a chair I had broken during a show.

"What if I want to?" I asked him.

"What if I don't want you to?" He asked me.

"Shut up, so I can put this nail in." I said.

"What if I don't want to?" He said, leaning in, blocking the light.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically.

"Your welcome." He said, closing the space between us. My brother kissing me? I pushed him away.

"What was that for?" I said.

"YOLO." He said before getting up and leaving.

"Shit, I hate YOLO." I said to myself, then quieter, I said,"And my cousin." I must have not been quite enough, because I heard him shout from the other room, "I heard that!"

"Why do these walls have to echo soo much?" I said to myself.

"Cause they hate you." I heard from the other room, followed by laughter. Asia came into the Freak Show and asked, "Hey, Maggie, wanna go shopping with me and Ali?"

"Sure, if Morgue agrees." I said to her, then shouted to Morgue, "Asia and Ali are going shopping and I'm going too."

"Ok, just don't be to late, we're going to a restaurant to eat." I heard him yell back.

"Alright, let's go." I said, getting up from my seat on the floor.

3 hours later...

"Cheers to that." I said drunkenly.

"Yeah, cheers." Asia said, more sober than I was. We had somehow gotten to a bar close to the Freak Show. Asia had a Dos Equis, and I had a Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Asia and I could easily be drunk after four beers, and I had had three, while she only had had one. Ali had taken our stuff we bought back to the Freak Show and told Morgue where I was. We were talking about how many beers more we should have, I, being the crazy drunk I am, thought we should have ten more, when a guy sat down beside me. I didn't recognize him at first, but he did.

"Maggie, remember me?" He asked. I turned to face my ex boyfriend, Josh. He must have known I was drunk, because he kissed me. I, still being crazy drunk, kissed back. When he let go, he asked me, "Want me to buy you another drink?"

"Yes!" I squealed, giddy like someone who just got concert tickets to his/her favorite band. Josh called the bartender over and said, "A double shot of Jack on the rocks for me, and tequila on the rocks for her." The bartender nodded and left.

30 minutes later...

I was drunk out of my mind, and Asia had left a few minutes earlier.

"I think we should get you back to your home." Josh stated.

"Nooooo." I moaned drunkenly.

"Too bad." He said, picking me up.

"But...but..." I said drunkenly. He carried me out to his car and set me in the back seat, where I threw up. On him. I don't remember much after that.

The next day...

Beep beep beep beep

I opened my eyes and sat up in the bed I was in. The room spun and I had to lay back down from dizziness. I sat up again, slower this time. I shut off my alarm, as my bedroom door opened and Morgue was standing in the doorway. I covered myself, after realizing I had nothing on.

"Have fun with Josh last night?" He asked.

"Josh?" I asked, not remembering most of the night before. How'd he get here from Montana?

"Yeah, your ex." He said, then continued, "He said he saw you drunkenly walking the streets last night. You and him were going pretty hard last night. I could hear you guys from my room. Morgue's room was right below mine, on the ground floor.

"Really!!!" I screeched. Then said, "I f*cking hate that kid. Did he really do that?!?"

"From what I heard." He said.

"Is he still around?" I asked.

"Downstairs." Morgue stated.

"Go, so I can get dressed and then beat him up." I said.

"Fine, I'm staying out of the fight this time." He said, probably remembering last time he had tried to stop me from hitting someone. He left and I scrambled to get dressed. I found underclothes, a pair of dark blue denim jeans, and a white tee. I also found a black leather jacket, my really dark sunglasses, and my black heeled boots. I was really good at looking badass when I wanted to. I also grabbed my silver sword from its case, just to scare him. I walked downstairs, where I glared at Josh, who was sitting on the couch, looking pleased. He suddenly looked scared, as he spotted me in the hallway.

"Why are you here?" I said, crossing the room, and putting my boot on his chest.

"Cause your family said you were probably lonely here." He said, lifting my boot off his chest.

"Well, I'm not, so leave." I said, pointing at the door.

"Bu-" He started

"Now." I said.

Pleas-" He tried.

"No, now get out." I said. He stood up and walked past me, away from my sword, and left.

"Yes! I got rid of him!" I silently cheered to myself. I sat down on the couch, where Josh was just sitting. I pulled off my sunglasses and tossed them onto a nearby table. Then I spotted a pair of eyes peering into the window across the room. And red hair. Murrugun. I stood up and walked over to the window. I opened it and said, "What do you want?"

"I need to talk to Morgue about a new stunt." He said.

"Front door's unlocked." I stated.

"I just heard you yelling followed by a very angry boy leaving. Had to see what was happening." He explained.

"Ex-boyfriend." I said. He nodded then left the window, and a few moments later, I heard the front door open.

"Morgue is upstairs." I said, walking down the hallway.

"Got it." He said, starting to walk upstairs.

"Murrugun," I called after him, "will you tell Morgue that I'm going over to the Ray's?"

"Sure." He said. I started to walk out the door, then remembered my sunglasses were on the table. I ran back and grabbed them. I ran back outside and immediately noticed small silver streaks all around my 2013 Chevy Impala, a gift from Morgue. I heard a girl next door shout, "He keyed you, if your wondering what happened." Great. I hopped into my car and I drove to the Ray's house. I knocked and Asia answered.

"Oh, hi Maggie." She said.

"Remember the boy who was with me last night?" I asked her.

"Yeah, his name was Jake or something." She said motioning for me to follow her.

"Josh." I said following her to her room.

"What about him?" she asked, sitting on her bed.

"He's my ex that I told you about." I said sitting next to her.

"He came all the way from Montana to here, in California!!!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah. And it's not that far." I said. I noticed a bunch of pictures of my cousin on all around the room. I asked, "You like him, don't you?" She looked at them, then said, "Yes, but don't tell him."

"I won't." I promised.
