“Yeah, let’s go with that.”
“I don’t do boyfriends. I like to fuck. I like to get fucked. I do not do relationships. Abel doesn’t let me do anything. Just like I don’t let him do anything and that’s clear since he decided to hook up with you and not tell me.” Lucy gave a curt smirk that made her look cuter than she sounded.
“You know, besides the fact that Lucy has the same face as Nora, I would have never guessed they were sisters. She’s so sweet and well-mannered and Lucy is just…” I cringed when the words left Lauren’s mouth. I braced myself for the tornado. It was coming.
Lucy stopped eating her food and let the fork fall to the plate with a clatter. Her eyes blazed to life and she ignored Lauren altogether to glare at me. “Nora met her? You let Nora meet your littlefuck toybefore me? Seriously, Abel!” She pushed to her feet and it was like wind began to circulate around her.
“Excuse me?” Lauren scoffed.
“Lucy,” I begged with my tone for her to calm down but it wasn’t working.
“Is that why you won’t let me move in with you? Is it because you want this uppity stick in the mud bougie bitch to move in? She probably isn’t even fucking you right.”
“Lucy!” I boomed, crashing my fist onto the table, making everything tremble.
“Fuck you, Abel! How could you let Nora meet her and not even tell me about her existence? Evidently, I can’t trust you or her because you’re both pieces of shit that don’t think I’m worth any consideration.”
“Abel, you need to control your sister,” Lauren frowned.
“I control my goddamn self.” I stood and moved closer to Lucy but I wasn’t moving fast enough. She picked up her glass of water and hurled it across the table at Lauren. It made a thunk when it hit her forehead. I grabbed Lucy’s wrist before she could launch her plate. It clattered to the table and broke in half.
“Stop it, Lucy!” I roared, slamming her against the wall.
“Get off of me, Abel. I hate you! I hate your ugly girlfriend and I hate Nora! All of you motherfuckers can choke on a dick and die.”
“Abel, I’m bleeding,” Lauren sobbed from the floor.
Fuck!
Everything was spinning out of control and I didn’t have enough arms to contain it all. “I swear to God, if you go to her I’m never speaking to you again, Abel.” It wasn’t the first time Lucy threatened to never speak to me. It was her go to punishment.
The moment I let my sister go, she flew around the table to Lauren. We raced to her but Lucy got there first and the outcome was not good. I managed to pry my scrappy hell raiser off Lauren but not after Lucy laid into her face like a goddamn punching bag.
“I’m leaving. Fuck you.” Lucy spat before kicking me as she stepped over both Lauren and me on the floor.
The living room was a mess of spilled food, broken glass, and China. The Lucy tornado had blown through and fucked shit up per usual. Now I had a bloody, scared girlfriend and a huge mess to clean up.
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy…
