she pulled her phone out

josiah: no, no it's okay
quinn: it's no problem, my mom literally loves you
josiah: well yeah, I know that, who wouldn't love me
quinn: you're dumb
josiah: but seriously, I don't wanna impose, i'll be fine
quinn: you sure?
josiah: yeah it's fine, go
quinn: ..fine but if you change your mind, call me
josiah: will do
quinn: I'll pick you up tomorrow morning

I forced a smile and she left. my smile faded as soon as she was out of sight. I unlocked the door and walked in, smelling the cold empty house. I grabbed a banana and sat down, the silence was so loud.

josiah: ...why are you never home..

I put my head down and held in my tears, there was no reason to cry, they're out doing good.. I should be used to this. I should be used to being alone. I fell asleep on the kitchen table and got woken up by the front door opening up. I shot my head up in excitement

josiah: hey mom!
eli: hey baby!

she came over and gave me a kiss on the forehead

eli: you should've called and told me you were going to come! I would've left some food

ha, why'd I think she was gonna say she would get off early

josiah: quinn was gonna go to her parents house so I tagged along
eli: order some food next time, you know I don't like when you skip meals
josiah: I can cook my own meals
eli: you've never touched a stove in your life
josiah: yes I have!
kairi: no you haven't

he walked through the door, he looked beat, and had blood on his face with some cuts. his hero suit was ripped

eli: damn boy, you got yo ass whooped!

he managed to get a chuckle out, his eyes lit up as soon as he laid eyes on us

kairi: it's that grind, baybeee
josiah: your pepperonis are out
eli: MF SAID PEPPERONIS

he covered up

kairi: I feel violated
josiah: my EYES feel violated
eli: on god, cover up you whore
kairi: I hate both of you... and I DONT HAVE PEPPERONIS!

he ran upstairs

eli: dude I fired tyffany
josiah: FINALLY
eli: I know, I know!

she poured herself a glass of water

josiah: took you long enough
eli: I was just waiting for the perfect moment
josiah: what'd you fire her for
eli: dropping my donut
josiah: wh- are you serious
eli: dead serious
josiah: THAT was you reason for firing her?!
eli: HEY! IT WAS GLAZED!

she said, as she smacked the table

josiah: oh.. WHY DIDNT YOU SAY THAT EARLIER?!
eli: WAS IT NOT OBVIOUS?!
josiah: NO?!
eli: WHY WOULD I FIRE HER IF IT WAS ANY OTHER DONUT OTHER THAN GLAZED?!
josiah: ...you're right, dropping a glazed donut should be considered a crime
eli: THATS WHAT IM SAYING
kairi: glazed donuts are disgusting

we both looked at him

eli: ...
josiah: ...
kairi: ...
eli: I want a divorce
kairi: WHAT?!
josiah: I want to be emancipated
kairi: NOW HOLD ON!
eli: I could have two fake passports in a few hours
josiah: we change our names
eli: we run away
josiah: start a new life
eli: and buy glazed donuts
josiah: boom, plan
