Justice flew up from the bed; Emerald shot up from hers and saw as she flew out the door.
Sitting quietly in her bed Emerald muttered, 'If she's gonna be like this, she's gotta get another room.'
She covered her head up with her blankets and pillows, and lay there. Trying to go back to sleep. She tossed and turned and couldn't seem to get comfortable.
Flinging back her blankets and stalked out into the hallway. She was surprised by the fact that EVERYONE was up and watching Justice praying to the porcelain God.
"Yea, I love parties. I'll got get the popcorn and hotdogs." Emerald mumbled, then laughed as she headed to the kitchen
Zac looked at her and laughed, "Em, you're bad." He followed her into the kitchen and she opened up a cabinet and got out a bag of micro popcorn she threw it to Zac.
"Nice catch." She commented as she opened the microwave as Zac opened the plastic package.
He tossed it back to her and she popped it in and started the timer. "You know it's sick that we are eating now because Justice is throwing up." She said as she stared at Zac weirdly.
He laughed, "You did it, man."
Emerald laughed as she watched the bag go around and around. "Why is everyone up?" She asked looking at him.
Zac rolled his eyes. "Taylor was just waiting for Justice to make her early mornin' run to the toilet."
She nodded. "Ah, the mad dash to the loo."
"He kept us up with him, and just as Ike was about to smother him, Justice came runnin' out." Zac smiled.
Ike walked in the kitchen and looked around, he shook his head, "I'm going back to sleep, bye!" He said before he left.
Emerald laughed. "Psycho." She said shaking her head. "Anyways, you and Ike can't smother Taylor. If I'm not allowed to hurt him, no one is." She said sternly as she crooked a finger at Zac.
"And if someone does cough-cough Zac." She said smiling. "Then I get to have a shit fit and no one will be able to hold me back this time." She said as she listened to the dinging of the microwave.
She opened up the microwave and took out the bag. "OWWW hot-hot." Emerald said laughing as she threw it on the counter.
Justice walked in the kitchen smiling.
"You're smiling. Something is totally wrong with you man." Emerald said as she eyed the popcorn.
Zac started laughing also. "Blondie, remember, when you take stuff out of the microwave and oven the will be hot." He said as he got a bowl down.
Justice laughed, "Yeah Em, micro hot." She said as she opened the door to the fridge and peeked in.
Emerald just smiled and nodded. "Okay, I get it, I get it." She said as she grabbed the bowl from Zac and dumped the popcorn into it.
He laughed again, "So what now. Party's over?"
Emerald looked at him, "I don't know. Justice, go get Taylor so he can do something stupid so we can laugh at it."
She laughed lightly as she continued to stare into the refrigerator. "Nu, uh. I's hungry. You go get him."
"So when you gonna tell mom and dad about the lil' addition to the family?" Zac asked as she walked out of the kitchen.
Justice looked up from the fridge. She swallowed the hard lump that quickly formed in her throat. "You have to ask Taylor that." She answered softly.
Emerald walked over to Justice and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Man, I'll be here for you."
She nodded and closed the fridge door and walked back to her room
Emerald hung out by the kitchen counter for a few minutes. "Man, I could kick your brother's ass for this." She mumbled staring at Zac.
She clenched her fists, but relaxed when she thought of how happy Justice seemed at times. "I wonder what your parents are going to say." She said shrugging as she started to munch on her popcorn
“I don't know," Zac stared at a wall, "I don't know."
She walked out of the kitchen and in front of her bed room door. There she could hear Justice praying for strength and guidance. She closed her eyes and lightly placed her head on the door. She prayed along with Justice. She was going to need all her strength not to kill Taylor. No matter how badly the urge was to choke the living shit out of him since, to her, he desperately needed it.
