The sun is shining through the window onto my face. I don't want to wake up yet but I force myself to start up my brain. Ugh, Hangover. Mild, but its there. At least I don't have anything planned today. I do however have the option to go to a cabin in the woods. I'm not sure how Octavia would like that though. I look to where Tavi should be. She isn't there, but I can hear the shower running. I get out of bed and quietly enter the bathroom.
"Good morning!" I say as I peek around the shower curtain.
"AHH!" She yells as smacks my face. With her shampoo bottle. "Vinyl! Don't scare me like that. If you want to come in so bad then ask."
"Sorry, I just wanted to say hello!" I say with a smirk on my now red face. "I'll get a shower later. I'll go make some oatmeal pancakes. Their you favorite right?"
"Oh my gosh yes, thank you Vinyl. Your the sweetest."
I steal a kiss. Bad idea because I accidentally stick my head under the shower and soak my hair.
"Thank you shower head. I guess I'll just get one now."
I strip and join in the shower. She gets out a minute later and now I have an empty shower to myself. I love the feeling of a shower. Warm drops on my head, neck, back. It really wakes you up, yet makes you feel so relaxed. I get out, get dressed, and go to the kitchen to make pancakes. Octavia is already at the table reading her newer magazine.
"So I said french toast right?" I ask her, knowing the answer.
"No, Vinyl." She chuckles. "You said oatmeal pancakes, with blueberries and chocolate chips"
"I know, and I didn't say blues and chips. Your a sneaky one . But I will add them."
I get the ingredients and begin mixing them. The front door bursts open and two men are inside.
"Get DOWN!" One yells, pointing a Glock at Octavia
Tavi and I get down on the ground.
"Please don't shoot sir. I beg you." Octavia pleads overwhelmed.
"Shut up! I didn't tell either of you to talk!"
"You," The other points a gun at me. "Get over here and sit next to her."
I crawl over to Tavi, but the man kicks me back, the singe of his boots hurts on my ribs. I groan in pain.
"I didn't tell you to make any noises, I told you to shut up!"
He walks over to the cabinets and starts to look through, searching for some valuables. I hear a gun shot behind me, I turn a bit and see some warning shots around Octavia.
"Don't do ANYTHING." I mouth to her.
"Did I say you could look that way?" He kicks me on the other side of my ribs, one has to be broken now. "Where are your valuables?"
"We don't have any, I *cough* swear!"
"Lies." He shoots Octavia in the leg, she cringes in agony.
"Sweetheart," The other man says, leaning above her. "Where is your jewelry? Where is your money. I want it NOW!" He stamps his foot.
"I don't have any jewelry!" She yells, the man slaps her. She is still holding her leg.
"Fine." He says to her. "What about your money?"
"Our bags of bits are on the table." She points to the table where both of our bags are, my twenty-five plus whatever amount of bits she has are now gone. Easily forty bits, if not more, down the drain.
"Thank you." they take them, and they run off.
"Octavia! Oh my god!" I cry to her as I painfully move closer. "Are you Okay, please tell me!"
"I'm in as much of a condition as your are." she points to the blood on my chest.
I realize how much I'm bleeding, I become weak, falling the rest of the way down to the ground.
"Vinyl! NO!" She cries out, she grabs her phone and calls 911.
"911, what is your emergency?" I hear on the phone.
"There was a robbery, we are both injured, one of us severely. 302-A West Apple Blvd."
"We will be right there. Stay on the line." Octavia puts the phone on speaker, and placed it down next to her.
"Vinyl, don't die on me please!" She cries out.
I black out.
