SHE TURNED THE SMALL MIRROR AROUND IN MY HAND, smiling watching the sunlight reflect off the mirror, she heard Marvin's slight laughter from beside her, she missed hearing him talk about his wife and all the things that he had fixed. Apparently he was really good at that at least that is what he told her.
She knew that while Bessie was out that Ruth was normally in charge of Marvin but she could hear the stupid intro for that Sunrise City turn on and she knew that Ruth wouldn't be leaving the couch any time soon so she decided to stick with Marvin until Bessie got home.
And she always enjoyed Marvin's company, because although he didn't speak, whenever she did she could tell just by his eyes that he was listening, like he wanted to say something but he just couldn't and sometimes it her hurt to see him like that but it was out of her control and there was no point in feeling awful about it.
"I asked you to do one little thing!" Bessie's voice rang throughout the house, causing the once silent room to grow in noise as Marvin began to groan at the loud noises. "And where the hell is Fallon"
She didn't bother answering instead started to distract Marvin from the ruckus and began to move the mirror around again, and Bessie's stomps soon stopped once she reached the door and saw the two of them sitting on the bed, and all of his pill cups were empty signifying that he had taken them.
"Oh, Fallon. Thank god" Fallon looked towards the brunette women, smiling at her as she quickly went to Marvin's other side and sighed as she quickly took the Yahtzee dice from his lips before looking over at her skeptically.
"What? They won't kill him" She shook her head as Ruth let her drop the dice in her hand. Ruth sighed as she looked at Marvin and back to Bessie.
"Stupid me! I'm so useless" Fallon looked over at Ruth and shook her head before speaking up "Ruth you aren't useless at all, you took care of me whenever Bessie was away. This was only one slip up" Ruth smiled thankfully at her before going back to whatever she was doing.
"Alright, now come on, let's quit hogging the bed" Bessie said tapping Fallon's leg, causing the teenage girl to quickly place a peck on Marvin's forehead before getting up and letting Bessie take her place.
"It's my cure" Ruth spoke up, finally making an excuse. Fallon rolled her eyes playfully as she played with the multiple cups on the table.
"You used to blame your pain for everything, and now you blame your cure. Come on, open. That's right good. " Bessie switched conversations between her father and Ruth.
"Plus, now that I'm older. You don't only have to rely on Ruth because I'm here too" Fallon spoke confidently, she hated how no one put her in charge just because she was a 'kid'.
"Look I understand that you think that, but you're still a kid and you need to focus on school not things that adults need to worry about" Bessie spoke softly, not knowing the anger that began to fuel into of Fallon.
"Bessie, what happened to your arm" Ruth grabbed her arm before pulling it towards her revealing the bruised skin and band-aid to the whole room, the young girl looked at it in worry, since it didn't look like the nicest thing in the world.
"Oh, the doctor took a little blood"
"It looks so tender. Shouldn't you see a doctor" Fallon snickered as Marvin tried to reach for the spoon of food that was just out of his reach while Bessie spoke to Ruth.
"I just came from the doctor. I have a vitamin deficiency." Fallon was confused, as to why it looked so bruised, surely that would have hurt and Bessie was talking like it was the most casual thing in the world.
"You don't make stinky often enough" Fallon giggled from beside Bessie, as much as she tried to act like an adult those little things were still funny to her, obviously Marvin was surprised by the sudden words that left Ruth's mouth as spluttered on his food causing some of it to come out of his mouth.
"I do so!" Bessie retorted, as she exited the room
"Stinky is poison. We have to get rid of it. That's why when you're constipated. You have a headache" Ruth quickly rushed after her, patting Fallon on the head as she walked past her, leaving her and Marvin again.
"Looks like its just us again old man and I'm sure neither of us want to hear the end of that conversation" Suddenly the bed started to shake, causing Marvin to freak out while Fallon laughed as her body shook with the bed, not realizing Marvin's state before Bessie came in quicly stopping it.
