That's Enough

Jordan | May 29

Boyle Residence

It felt like no one else in the entire damn house ever bothered to pick up a damn thing or even attempt to keep shit clean. I was yet again scrubbing the counter with a used sponge, trying to clean shit I heavily suspected’s Thomas’s fault given it’s marshmallow paste, and only he could stomach the raw sugar in that shit. The counters in this particular apartment’re white. Or were white at one point in their life, was more of a yellowish-white now ‘cause they’re prob’bly older than me. Further pissing me off’re the nits in the top covering that’re perfect for crumbs to get stuck in and annoy the living shit outta me.

I needed to clean this whole damn house ‘cause at least then it blocked out the shit-storm of yesterday, where I was a damn emotional open book to what had been my only friend for years. I caused her pain, and wasn’t even trying, and it’d been going on for fuckin’ months, but I hadn’t noticed. Rotanu’d even known what’s fuckin’ going on and hadn’t said a damn thing.

She wasn’t supposed to know how I felt. Wasn’t supposed to deal with my fucked-up brain, was better than me. The sidelines’re enough. Just being around her’s enough.

I needed to scrub harder. Damn stain’s still there.

“Jordan — your turn for dinner. Get on it: should’ve started half hour ago!” Jewel yelled. Everyone else’s damn useless, making it where only we could cook yet again: Elaine’d just eat snacks and not bother, Thomas’s taste palette sucked and always overcooked everything somehow, and I wasn’t sure if my father’d ever touched a stove in his life. Or anything ‘sides the fridge to get a beer, for that matter.

Grumbling, “Yeah, ‘prince’ my ass, more like damn servant,” under my breath, I walked over to the cardboard box with half the stable goods still in it; me and Jewel didn’t see the point in unpacking more than the bare essentials when we rarely made it more than six months b‘fore getting kicked out. How many damn times’d it been now that everything we owned’s in Father’s shitty-ass pickup truck and had to deal with finding our own place to sleep ‘til Father got another “permanent” residence. I didn’t even bother changing home addresses at school anymore. There wasn’t a damn point and getting him to sign any paper’s hell anyways.

All this’s just another piece of proof that me being involved in all this magic shit’s a mistake. Someone like Kylie made sense, born to be special. But me?

Yeah fuckin’ right.

“Jordan!”

“I’m starting right now,” I called back; needed to get started b‘fore she got on my ass more than normal. Would be nice if she’d be in a non-bitchy mood for once in her life.

I dug through the box for whatever looked easiest. It’s a “put the least amount of effort in as possible” night.

“Did any of you have siblings?” Rotanu asked.

I rolled my eyes and wanted to
