The Deal

29

I spent almost the whole day keeping Jacob company. We watched A Dogs Purpose (and cried), ate ice cream (while crying our hearts out), watched Lilo And Stitch (because we didn't want to be sad anymore), ate candy, ate lunch, and had a lot of fun.

It was finally time for dinner, Jacob and I were watching The Originals since he'd never seen it. I practically had a seizure when he told me that he had no clue what the show was.

There was a knock on the door before it opened up to reveal Emilio.

What was the point of knocking if you're just gonna walk in anyway..?

He walks in and looks at the TV before looking back at us. "We're gonna order pizza, what do you guys want?"

"Hawaiian." Jacob and I said simultaneously. Emilio's eyes widened in surprise and I looked at Jacob.

"Hey! Don't copy me, copier!" I say and he gasps. "You copied me!"

"I beg to differ!" I say and before we can continue the door slams shut from Emilio leaving us alone to bicker about who was the copier in this situation.

We shrug our shoulders and continue to watch The Originals and shout "QUEEN!" Every time Rebekah kicked some ass and yelled "YES BITCH" every time Hayley acted like a fUCKING ICON.

We love an iconic shishter.

After about an episode the door bursts open. Keith walks in with a large Hawaiian pizza with thin crust, I jump up and grab it from him before running back to the bed.

I pushed one of the other hospital beds next to his so I could lay down with him without hurting my little rat.

I opened it and we began to attack the delicious pizza.

""Thanks Keith!" Oh you're welcome!" Keith mocked and we ignored him.

"Fine. I totally didn't punch one of the guys in the face so they wouldn't steal you guys' pizza!" Keith almost shouts.

We both turn from the TV to Keith and smile "Thanks Keith!" Jacob says. "Grassy ass Keith!" I say.

Keith lets out an airy laugh before sending a nod our way and walking out.

"Grassy ass?" Jacob gives me a questioning look. "You know, Gracias, Grassy ass sounds like the white washed version of it." I clarify and Jacob make an 'O' shape with his mouth indicating he understand now.

"Buffoon."

I fell asleep in the bed after eating four whole slices of pizza and almost dying. I couldn't help but notice how Jacob still looked kinda upset. I know it'll take a while for him to heal mentally and physically but it still hurts me to seem him in pain.

I woke up sweaty and out of breath, I couldn't remember what I'd dreamt of but I had a pretty good idea of what it was.

I looked over to my left to see Jacob fast asleep with a pineapple piece stuck to his cheek. I let out a quiet giggle and quickly take a picture of him with the phone that I forgot that I still had in my bra from when we left the house.

I stepped out of the bed and made my way to the door. I tried to keep the noise to a minimum, everyone's asleep and I'd hate to be the one to wake them up.

I couldn't help but think about the dream I had, it was the same dream but a different person. Instead of it being Mason who was shot it was Jacob. I guess the fear of losing him got to me...

No one:
My brain: checkmate bitch

There was a certain someone I knew who could help me to calm my mind down. Even though i woke up to a very adorable face my mind's still going haywire.

I make my way up the stairs and to the room that Emilio told me to go to if I needed him. I knock on the door and wait to hear the sound of either him telling me to go away or open the door.

I knock again but there was a cough behind me, I practically jump out of my skin from the sudden sound from behind me.

"jESUS!" I scream which causes the culprit to laugh. I turn around to see a familiar face, he was in the backyard when I was chasing the guys.

"The boss isn't here" He chuckles out.

"Oh.." I say as I try to control the rapid breathing that this buffoon caused.

"He told me if you came by to see what you needed and provide it as long as I think he'd be okay with it." He informed and I nod my head slowly.

I look at my phone to see that it's five o'clock in the freaking morning. I never wake up this early, even when I have my nightmares.

"Um... is there an animal shelter anywhere around here?"

•••

I've been playing with the puppies for the past hour. I plan on going and cuddling with that kittens afterwards, and then taking care of the dogs and cats while showing them as much love and affection I can.

I set myself up as a volunteer to give me something to do. I don't care if Emilio likes it or not because I'm still gonna come whenever I can.

The guy who brought me here—whom I learned the name of actually... it's Zane— walked into the room of puppies, most of them sleeping and the others were tugging at toys or my clothes.

"I think it's time we head back, before the boss wakes up and destroys my ass—" We both stared at each other for a minute before I busted out laughing.

"I didn't think he liked dudes" I laugh out as Zane rolls his eyes. "That's not what I meant!"

"Okay okay Fine" I chuckle before getting up and walking to wards the exit, but as I take a step I feel something cling to my shoe. I look down to see a puppy tackling my shoe laces.

"Whelp, I guess I'm staying!" I exclaim but before I can plop down and play with the puppy, Zane The Asshat grabs my arm and tugs me away.

"Hey!" I say angrily. Once we get inside the car I cross my arms and glare at him the whole way back.

"What? I am not trying to die today." Zane huffs out and I roll my eyes.

The poor puppy was still hanging onto my shoe laces when he dragged me away, no doubt that hurt his little teeth a little. The pups name is Oreo, he's a little mutt but he's an adorable mutt, They found him and his siblings in box by a dumpster about a week ago.

No doubt I'll fall in love with a dog there and beg Emilio to let me adopt it. If he doesn't I'll throw the tantrum of the year. Why? Because dogs.

We pull up to the safe house and I run inside to see if Jacob's awake. I run inside his room to see him still awake.

I giggle evilly to myself and pull out my phone. I open up Snapchat and start recording before I scream "JACOB!"

"NO THAT PENGUIN CAN'T HAVE A MUSTACHE!" He screams as he jumps up. I laugh and drop to the floor as I stop recording.

"Ow.." He groans and I look up to see him rubbing his wound.

I sit on the bed and apologize really quickly before telling him about all the puppies and the tiny kitten I got to see.

"Does Emilio know you left?" He asks.

"No, but I came back didn't I?" I smile at him and he sends one back.

"He's gonna murder Zane when he comes back" Jacob says as he leans back and places his hands behind his back.

"No he won't, If he tries I'll stop him. It was my idea in the first place" But as soon as those words come out, a loud shout is heard along with the front door slamming shut.

"ZANE!"
