After we ate I helped Chris move some of his stuff into my room so Sarah could stay in his room with the baby for a little while. Then it was time for me to get ready and go into work. I was glad to go! I wasn't really great with kids, and I had no idea what to do whenever Sarah asked me to hold the baby. Chris would just laugh and take GiGi from me. When I got to work I walked behind the counter and kicked Lukas lightly on his foot. He had was busy reading something and didn't see me come in. "Hey!" He said. "How are you?" I asked, and yawned. "Good. Brody is being a dick today." He said. "He was last night too." I said, and Lukas looked up at me. I laughed. "He showed up needing a place to stay, but I told him he couldn't stay with me." I explained. "Oh, I see. Well he needs to cut the fucking attitude." Lukas said. "He'll cool off, he always does." I said. As if on cue, Brody came storming through the store from the back, sliding his sweatshirt on as he went. "What the hell?" I asked. "Shit." Jake said, walking out. "What just happened man?" Lukas asked. "Brody just quit." Jake said. "What? WHY?" I asked. "I don't know! Him and Kevin were yelling at each other. I didn't catch what they said, but then Brody yelled he quit and stormed out." Jake explained. "Damn it. What the fuck did he get himself into?" I asked. I sighed and started to walk towards the door. Lukas grabbed my arm. "Let him cool off. You'll just end up saying something stupid, or more likely he will. Just wait a while before you talk to him." He said. I sighed, and sat down on the stool. Suddenly N'Sync came blasting on the intercom. "GODDAMNIT ARIEL!" Jake shouted. He slammed the counter and walked to the back. The music stopped. "What is with everyone today?" I asked Lukas. "Fuck if I know." He said, and shrugged. When my shift was over I went back home. "Hey." Chris said, when I walked in. I could hear GiGi crying back in Chris' room. I didn't see Sarah, so I figured she was back here with her. "Hey." I said, and went to the cabinet to get some Tylonol. "Long day?" He asked. "Eveyone was in a bad mood. Brody quit today." I said. "Really?" He asked. "Yeah. I don't know why. I'm just glad to be home." I said. "I have to go with Sarah to her fuck-off of a boyfriend's house to pick up some more of her stuff with her." He said. "Okay." I said, looking foward to a little quiet time to myself. "Could you watch GiGi?" He asked. "No." I said, horrified at the thought. "Please? It's easy, I promise." He said. "I've never watched kids before. I don't know what to do!" I said. "We'll be gone for no more then an hour. She'll probably sleep most of the time." He said. Just then GiGi stopped crying. "Okay. For you." I said, and he smiled. Sarah walked out. "Do you mind?" She asked me. "No, not at all." I told her. "Thank you so much!" She said, and hugged me. It startled me, and Chris laughed.
