Geez, what time is it? I dont remember falling asleep but here I am waking up on the couch. I check the time on my phone.
Geez, it's late in the afternoon
"Hey Thomas" i call. "What did you do?"
"Oh, I gave you decaf this morning." He says from the kitchen.
I glare at him. "I hate you... So much right now. You coulda killed me!"
"Stop exaggerating"
"No, I'm being honest. I don't know if you've noticed but I live off of coffee. And ramen. Mostly coffee. Anyways, a caffeine withdraw could kill me"
"Many things could kill you. But you're like uh... Chuck Norris. No matter what, you always live somehow."
"I still hate you though."
"Hey, you needed a break... From basically everything. Work, life, the list is endless" he shrugs before sitting next to me with a plate of food. I lean on him while going through messages on my phone.
"Last time i took a break i nearly died." I mutter. I swear, breaks are like my one weakness, and people still tell me to take them.
I wouldve fallen asleep again if i hadn't heard someone outside honk their horn. Jefferson looks at me but I just shrug before getting up and opening the door.
"Oh hey Angelica. What uh... Why are you here?" I ask.
She glares at me. "You pissed off Lee, and now he threatened my sisters. Deal with the issue"
"Geez, you act like all of this is my fault."
"Well maybe it is your fault"
I freeze for a second. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Maybe if it weren't for you, we wouldnt be in this situation. If it weren't for your temper or whatever, nobody would have gotten shot. If it weren't for you-"
"Dont you dare say it." I know what shes gonna say. And i think she knows i know.
"If it weren't for you, maybe John would be alive"
I'm not even mad. I'm almost certain, Angelica is pissed about something else and is just taking it out on me. I'd probably do the same. But what she juat said was a bit of a low blow.
"You know what Angelica? You're a tough person. If Lee made threats, you go fight him. After what you said, i honestly dont care. But if you bring up John again i will personally fight you. And that goes against everything I've known... I guess."
I slam the door in her face before turning back to Thomas. "Hey, decaf doesnt sound too bad after all"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Hey is it true you got shot" philip asks. I nearly choked on my coffee.
"Yep. It was by this guy named Charles Lee. Hes a comeplete jerk, total coward though." I say casually.
"Well, ill hurt him since he hurt you"
Ok. This time i did choke on my coffee. "Oh shit- I mean... Don't do that. Like, ever. Lee could very much kill you. But, there is a guy-"
Thomas cuts me off. "Alex, dont get Philip to fight Adams"
"Whaaat? I have no idea what you're talking about heh. Besides, how do you know im talking about Adams?"
"Theres like no one else who you hate at work"
"...i hate when you're right"
