“Well thanks, but no fucking thanks. You mind your business, I’ll mind mine. I don’t want your pity or your worry.”For a moment, I was taken a...ack by her outburst. This was clearly no game, like I’d always hoped her attitude was. I guess she actually does hate me... “Pity?” I finally said, shaking my head. “Look, I’ll leave you alone now, because you asked me to. But you can’t tell me how to feel. That’s my business.”She turned away. “Fine. Whatever.”“Are you done rehearsing today, then?”“I’ll. ” Brad shared. He had to tap Tony’s shoulder to get his attention.“Oh good, GAIA, little sister, where are you? HELP.” Tony picked up Willa and took her to the Christ Ports. Gaia met them and helped ease Willa down to a recovery position as she started coughing up the water in her lungs. Tony looked to Brad, “Thank you for watching my back.”“Got us both in the drink. You were already flying towards the river when Willa screamed and jumped on the guy’s back. She got him good, but he hit her in. That night was forgivable but she started to take advantage! I gave her a good sock in the arm after the 6th night of being used for a punching bag. "Meg, I don't like this, go to your bunk, jerk. Leave me alone." Ha, I made her cry! "NOO, I'll be nice... I’m sorry, you just don't understand" "Sure I do, dad told me all about how girls act weird when the start their period" It was the first time she ever hit me in the face." I'm so sorry Billy" "Get off my bunk, ass" "NOO, but Billy... you have. This is work, not thegym. Do you have your forms? " I handed them across as she continued togaze intently at me."Ok, that's fine just grab your sandwich and a drink if you wish, on thehouse while you work here. Just don't abuse it. The bathroom is out backof the kitchen. See me at 11 and I'll run you through things. Oh, justso you know. I'm 63 and one thing I've learned in 63 years is that noman is worth it. They're all useless. So trust old Lucy here. Whateverhe did. Or is still doing. To hell.
