"Libby dear? I think you need to calm down a little bit. I can see the steam coming out of your ears..."
I shoot her a glare out of the corner of my eye and continue driving. If looks could kill.
"I wasn't even that bad this time!!!" She protests like a 5 year old. Finn turns to her, frowning. To be honest his face is so red I think he might explode. Poor guy.
"Grandma, you gave some poor guy a lap-dance, bought 15 jars of peppercorns for no apparent reason, you shouted "you're all whores! I hate all your fucking faces! Screw you!" over the intercom, jumped off the top of the checkout landing on some poor pregnant woman, used kids face paint to draw a penis on the window and got tackled by 3 security guards! PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THAT IS NOT THAT BAD!?" He shouts.
She puts a finger to lip. "Use your inside voice Finnegan." She says soothingly. Finn bites the inside of his cheek and frowns deeply.
------------------------
"Mom I'm going for a jog, okay?" I call. I go before she can ask me to do something else. I plug my earphones into my iPhone and put it on shuffle, popping it into my pocket. I run past Cameron's house and out of my street, pacing myself to the beat of Gecko by Oliver Heldens. Just when I thought my week couldn't get any worse my grandma goes bat shit crazy when my brother takes her to Walmart...Just my luck. Thank god she's back home now.
"I'm warning you I will fuck you up when I'm out of this cast!" I stop running, pulling out one of my headphones.
"Sure you will, but we'd like to do it now. You know, kick a man when he's down sort of thing" I hear deep chuckling. I turn around to the source if the noise.
A tall black haired guy grabs the crutches from the geeky guy and throws them to the ground, making the geek tipple over. His glasses fall off his face. His cronies start to kick the geeky guy and I frown. What fuckfaces. He yelps and unsuccessfully tries to fight back sitting down swearing profanities at them. Fuckers like that make me so angry. I storm over there, jumping in front of the geek.
"Leave him alone fuckfaces" I growl at them. They laugh, nudging each other and pointing to me. The geek sighs. "If I were you i'd stay out of this" he whispers. I turn to him, hissing "fuck up i'm helping!" The guys laugh patronisingly. The black haired one steps forward, eyeing me up and down. His 6 foot, lanky framed self towers over me. I don't falter.
"Step aside princess" he smirks at me.
"Fucking make me" I snap. I fold my arms over my chest, trying to look intimidating. It doesn't work. He winks. "Aren't you a feisty thing?" He runs a hand through his hair, trying to be seductive. Ew. "What the fuck did he do to you that he deserves to get his shit kicked in for?" I demand.
"He fucked my sister!" Growls the tall one. I raise my eyebrows, turning back to the geek on the ground behind me. I raise my eyebrows questioningly. He smirks at the memory, nodding to himself. He looks at my questioning expression and raises his hand defensively. "What?" He asks, shrugging. Maybe he's not as geeky as I thought..I roll my eyes, turning back to the fuckfaces. "So, he fucked your sister. Maybe your sister wanted to fuck him! You can have it out with him when he's out of his cast and it's a fair fight, so leave him the fuck alone!" I try to reason. He pretends to think about it, rubbing the slight stubble on his chin. "Nah" he shrugs. "What you gonna do about it girly?" He provokes me, poking me with his long bony finger in the shoulder. I smile innocently. "This" I chirp, throwing a punch towards his face.
