Reese headed off to the bar and ordered a large margarita on the dime. He had been doing this once a week for seven weeks now, every time Jupiter was late home. He was too drunk to speak by the time he was ready to go home, but he drove himself back anyway.
"Reese! You can't drive when your drunk! How many times have I told you this?" Jupiter was furious, but he was used to it by now.
It was June 24, and JuJu was late home again, so Reese got in the car and drove to the bar. He ran through the same routine, but today, he saw someone utterly familiar sitting near him.
"Is that you? The graveyard manager?" Reese's voice was so unsteady it was easy to tell he was drunk. He was right, though, the graveyard manager was sitting next to him with a glass of vodka,"man that's dope, I can't drink a-" Reese passed out and fell to the floor.
When he woke, he got in his car, and started it up, knowing he was still drunk. He drove down busy roads and bridges, forgetting where he lived, but he made it to one turn where he didn't stop. He crashed into Jupiter.
"Reese? You b****." Jupiter said to Reese in hospital. I told you not to drive drunk..."He gave Reese a kiss on the forehead and left the room.
He got the news from the doctors, he had a fractured tibia and a concussion. He would have to stay there, wait for the concussion to correct itself, and have surgery as well.
He had healed from surgery in three months and was sent back to the apartment, where he saw JuJu was waiting for him. He was asleep on the couch with pizza boxes everywhere and a heavily stained uniform. It was clear that he wasn't going to work while Reese was out, but something caught his eye when he went into the bedroom. An employee uniform for a different restaurant.
"Wait, was he working two jobs while I was out? Or did he have a sleepover." Reese was confused why he had seen such an unorganized house, because Jupiter was the king of clean and organized homes.
Then all of a sudden, someone grabbed his shoulder.
