My Gift and My Curse

Chapter 6

I woke up at about 8:15, which was late for me, but I didn't bother with getting up early. I knew Ren and Traitor were still sleeping, and I didn't know if their parents were awake, so I just sat in the room. Thankfully, I had a book I could read on my phone, so I decided to just relax until someone woke up.

To my surprise, it was only twelve past ten when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I called out.

The door opened to reveal Traitor holding two cups of coffee. He smiled tiredly at me, "Good morning."

I raised a brow, "You're up early."

"Yeah, I woke up and couldn't really fall back asleep, so I thought you'd like to have some coffee with me."

I smiled slightly as I took the cup, "Thank you."

He sat at the foot of the bed as he asked, "So, did you have fun last night?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I actually did. Honestly, I didn't think I would, but you guys made it fun."

"Well, I'm glad we contributed."

"Then again, you were the jerk offs that made me go in the first place."

He laughed, "True, true."

I sipped my coffee, not having this kind of luxury in a while. Jesus, I can't remember the last time I had caffeine.

Damn, this was good.

As I was savoring my cup of joy, Traitor spoke. "Oh, by the way, I ordered you a new battery."

I almost spit out my coffee, but I swallowed it hard instead. "Traitor, I asked you not to."

"I know, but-"

"I said I would pay for it when I could, you didn't need to pay for my bike."

He sighed, "Can't you just let me help you?"

"I don't need help, I make my own money, and I pay for my own shit." I didn't mean to yell, but at this point I was so aggitated that I couldn't help it.

"You need to learn how to accept some fucking help." He bit back with a matching tone.

"Fuck you," I mumbled.

He groaned angrily, "You don't need to be such a bitch about it. You can just chill the fuck out."

I took a deep breath, as to not lose my shit. "I'll pay you back when I can," I said in a calmer tone. At least, I hoped I sounded calmer.

"No, you don't need to, save your money."

"Traitor-"

He covered my mouth to cut me off, "Shush."

I looked at him aggitated as I moved his hand. "You're a jerk."

"And you're a bitch, now will you chill?"

I sighed, "I hate you."

He chuckled, "You're cute when you're angry."

I rolled my eyes, back to the same old Traitor. "Whatever dickweed."

He smirked, "Okay hot head, you calm now?"

I gave him a look that said go-fuck-yourself, which only made him laugh. "Tell me to calm down one more time and see what happens."

"Look, if it makes you feel better, you can help me put the battery in."

I sighed, "Fine." I took a sip of the coffee and swallowed my pride.
