Chaos High

Lesson Twenty-One

Overcome Everything That Is Meant To Destroy You

With everything going on outside my work there was a few things that had completely gone over my head.

One of them being the fact that I had to do a interview with Holly Bates.

The stupid bitch of a reporter was probably one of the very few people that could bring out my inner child. I would love nothing more than to punch her stupid fake nose. From cornering me about my relationship with my mom when it was on the ropes, to basically stalking my brother, I had issues with the woman.

It was all an act though to get under my skin and it worked. I don't know why it worked every single time. I've dealt with far worse than her yet her high pitched voice and the fact that she was a reporter always got on my last nerve.

Maybe sometimes there was just that one person you didn't like no matter who you were. They just knew how to get under your skin without even doing anything.

"Are you going to be fine with her?"

No one knew better than Riker how much the woman got to me. For the first time I actually thought I seen genuine worry on his face. It probably wasn't me he was worried for though, he was probably worried that I would do something stupid and kill the woman.

"Why you worried about her?" I asked putting on my top getting ready for the interview. It was in less than an hour and I was to met Jessica at the office.

Riker had given her the money for us to be able to form a new partnership. I don't think I had ever seen Jessica so excited about something in my life. Watching someone who was normally so cool and level headed scream at the top of her lungs was probably the biggest shock to the system I've ever had. Riker had told me though that Jessica was actually more like that than I thought. She just came across level headed and calm to people she wasn't close to.

He had called her a nut case. I didn't count that though because I was pretty sure Damon called me the same thing

"No I'm worried about the shit you'll cause because it will be me that has to hide the body." Riker gave me a pointed look knowing what was going through my head.

He was getting better at reading my thoughts that was for sure. That or the fact I never hide that I didn't like Holly was probably a dead give away. I've thought plenty of times about how to kill her.

I was fine with her messing with me but the fact that she messed with my brother was something completely different.

I wondered if Emily would miss her cousin because I wouldn't if she was mine. Emily was to nice to say anything mean against her though.

Sometimes I wondered why she even fell in love with my brother and our family. We were fucked up to say the least. We were loyal though that was for sure.

"You don't have to worry about cleaning up my mess." Sitting on the bed and putting on my shoes I gave him a pointed look. He was standing in front of the walk in closet, his arms crossed looking like he was about to tell me off. "Murder isn't my style anyway you know that."

"No mind tricks is, which I'm more worried about. She's a reporter Princess, they know how to mess around with your words."

Standing up I walked over to my make up table which was right beside were he was standing. I grabbed my purse and my phone checking that I had no messages. Riker's eyes were focused on me walking every movement. I knew he was worried and he had a right to be.

Coming face to face with him I gave him a warm smile letting him know everything was going to be ok.

"I'm not going to do anything stupid. Your sisters there anyway and I'm sure you've told her all about my loving relationship with the woman. From the moment she walked into our lives all she has done is managed to try and wrap you around her finger, turn into a crazy stalker about my brother and piss me off. If she starts getting under my skin or tries pushing my buttons I will pass them over to Jessica. How does that sound?" I patted my hand on his check like I was talking to a child making roll his eyes at my actions.
