NEGOTIATION

I ended up sleeping over at Heather’s place, and woke up to find the blood bitches gone and Heather conked out on the bathroom floor, where she’d spent the latter part of the night throwing up.

It was a superfun night.

I’d fallen asleep slumped over on her desk in between helping her keep her hair out of the vomit-filled toilet and trying to get a hold of Lucas on his cell. The reception was garbage in Gould, so it wasn’t surprising that I’d failed, but I missed him and Derek. I didn’t even want to think about tonight.

Instead, I wanted to . . . I sighed to myself. As much as I loved and cared about what happened to my boys tonight, today, well, today I just wanted to be human. I’d made a promise to myself that I’d take time to do the things that were important to me—like school and running and photography—but I hadn’t held true to that promise. I had good reason, sure, but that didn’t make it right. Today, I had the rare opportunity to do whatever I wanted. And damn it, I was going to do it all.

Starting with a morning run.

I sat up from the desk and stretched, heading for the bathroom. Heather looked literally like roadkill, and smelled even worse. I glared down at her prone form, both worried and irritated at the same time. I was about to throw a blanket over her and wait until she woke to deal with her, but then ... I had a better idea.

It was something my mother had done to me in high school when I’d come home late from a party totally wasted. It was, in fact, how I began running in the first place.

I dragged Heather into the shower and started it. She woke up immediately, screaming profanities. I slammed the glass door shut and threw my weight against it as she tried to pry it open.

“Faith, oh my God, have you lost your mind?” she shouted.

“No, but you seem to have,” I said calmly. “And you smell, seriously, like something dead.”

“Screw off,” she said, banging on the glass. “Let me out. Come on, my head is killing me. I feel like I’m going to puke again.”

“Okay, then I’m really not letting you out.”

“You’re such a bitch!”

I smiled. “But I love you. Now use that soap until there’s nothing left, and get dressed. I want to go out.”

She groaned, wiping her hair out of her face. “What time is it?”

I checked my cell phone. “Six a.m.”

“You psycho.”

I grinned devilishly. “You think this is crazy? Wait until you see what we’re doing.”
