The Five Demigods

Thirty-Six (XXX)

Days went by and no one spoke to anyone.

Mitch kinda shut himself off from everyone as best he could and thought about his daughter.

Scott was just numb to the whole thing, and was almost constantly thinking about his baby.

Avi just ignored everything.

Kevin would be reading up as much as he could on demigods and the gods and all that fun stuff.

Kirstie took a lot of showers. All the emotions and the tension was getting to her and she would get panicky, so she would hop in the shower.

Eventually, Kirstie couldn't take it anymore, so she stormed out and went for a walk, Avi following her.

Once she was across the street she stopped and turned around.

"Why are you the one that chases after everybody? Haven't you caused enough problems by doing that?" She asked coldly, digging in her coat pocket for the joint she'd stashed away.

"That was cold." Avi said.

Kirstie just shrugged and lit her joint. "Why'd you follow me anyway?"

"You seemed upset."

"Huh." She took a puff. "I wonder why that would be. It's been 6 days and not one of y'all motherfuckers has said anything to each other. You could cut the tension with a knife."

"Its not my fault, Kirst."

"Then who's fault is it? Your dick's? Because that seems to be the only head you're thinking with!" She turned and walked towards the park that was there.

"What are you even upset about?" He asked, following. "You have really no reason to be this upset."

"I'm upset because you're so fucking blind, Avi."

Avi threw his arms in the air. "Great. Another thing for me to figure out. What the fuck did I do to you?"

"You slept with Mitch." She said, thinking he would get it.

"Yes, that's been covered."

She looked at the ground and sighed.

"I like you!" She said, turning around. "Always have." This isn't how she wanted to tell him, but it just came out.

Avi stopped and looked at her. "You like me?" He asked, as if he couldn't believe it. "I'm an asshole, Kit. What is there for you to possibly like?"

"I don't know!" She yelled. "I dont know why I like you, I just know that I do!" She looked at him.

Avi came up to her and stopped just a few inches from her.

"Why haven't you said anything? We've known each other for years."

Kirstie leaned back and took a puff of her joint and blew it dramatically in his face.

"Yeah, and in all those years you were busy trying to get with Samantha."

"Samantha?" He asked. "You mean the one from the gym? She's gay, Kirst. She has a girlfriend. I haven't been trying to get with anyone."

Kirstie gave him a look. "Oh, really?" She asked sarcastically.

Avi just sighed. "If we're gonna talk, might as well pass me that." He said, nodding towards the joint in her hand. She passed it and he took a large puff.

"I'm sorry...that I slept with Mitch." He said as he exhaled, fighting the urge to cough. "I don't even know what happened. He kissed me and flirted with me, and it's all a blur after that."
