⊱ ────── {⋅. 🔥 .⋅} ────── ⊰

After the teams of two had been chosen, several people turned to look at me and I cursed under my breath, moving closer to Fumi. Why did I have to be the odd one out? Well, I guess it makes sense if you think about it. I may have been born in this world, but I’m still an outsider.

“Sir!” Prep’s hand shot up again. “What about Winchester?”

How the fuck does he know my name when I don’t know his? I should really pay more attention… Nah, fuck that, too much effort.

Toshi’s bright smile didn’t falter. “Young Jen is the extra factor! Battles aren’t always a clean hero vs villain fight. Sometimes, there will be a third element that will take advantage of the chaos, and that is where you come in!” He pointed directly at me before flipping his hand over and beckoning me forward. I reluctantly approached, trying to ignore all of the eyes staring into my back. “Please choose a team from this box, but keep it hidden! Whoever you get, it will be your job to stop both heroes and villains, and claim the weapon for yourself!”

“Isn’t that a bit much? She’ll have to take on four people by herself, ribbit.”

“This will be a good lesson! Often times, heroes are vastly outnumbered and must outsmart their opponents to get the upper hand.”

I reached into the box and grabbed the first slip of paper my fingers touched. I could feel him looking over my shoulder as I unfolded it. Team E… that’s the Alien chick and the French Fry. What are their quirks again? I stuffed the paper into my pocket before returning to Fumi’s side, scratching my cheek thoughtfully.

Toshi stuck one hand into the villain box and the other into the hero box. “I declare that the first team to fight will be… these guys! Team A will be the heroes, team D will be the villains! Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch.”

“Yes, sir!”

As I passed by him, I could feel pure rage seeping off of Bakugo as he glared at Bunny. He looked absolutely murderous, while Bunny looked terrified. Is there some history there or somethin’? Whatever, it has nothin’ to do with me. The group gathered in the observation room.

“Alright, let’s begin the indoor combat training! Team A and team D, your time starts now!” The screen that Toshi stood in front of was huge and had multiple shots from cameras inside the building. He glanced back at us. “Pay attention, kids. Think about what you would do.”

What I would do? I would say fuck all this effort and go get tacos. A weight fell onto my head and I recognized the coolness that belonged to Shadow, his clawed hands resting on my shoulders as he watched the screens curiously. I could see their lips moving as they talked to one another, but there was no audio. How can a place with such a huge ass fucking budget not be able to afford cameras that can record audio? What the fuck, man.

Ooh, girl, Bakugo slid around that corner fast as fuck. I’m surprised Bunny managed to dodge his attack. Maybe he’s not as weak as he looks.

“He almost got the jump on him!”

“A sneak attack, Bakugo?” Red slammed his fist into his palm. “What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?”

“Villains,” I commented, giving him a blank look when he turned to look at me. “Villains don’t follow the rules, they don’t play fair. They do what they want because they can. Have you never heard of ‘no honor among thieves’?”

“It’s a viable strategy,” Toshi added. “He’s playing the part, acting like a true villain would.”

Something tells me this kid ain’t acting. I can see it in his eyes as clear as day, the anger and the hatred. I’ve seen it in my own eyes when I thought about Skye and Heather, but I find it hard to believe the dynamic between those two is the same situation. Bunny doesn’t exactly look like the bullying type. Honestly, it seems the opposite.

“It didn’t work! Midoriya dodged it.”

Midoriya? Why does that name sound so damn familiar?

“Look, there he goes!”

Bakugo attacked again, but Bunny grabbed his arm and tossed him over his shoulder. I whistled in surprise. I didn’t know that kid had it in him. He’s always acting so shy and timid. Hell, he couldn’t even look me in the eye back at the nurse’s office. Was it all an act? Well, whatever he’s saying, it’s really pissing off Bakugo, though that doesn’t seem to take much effort to do.

“Hey, who is Bakugo talking to? I’m not hearing anything.” Red frowned. “Can we get any sound with this video?”

“He’s got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner,” Toshi explained. “I gave it to him before the match started, along with a map of the building. Also this, a roll of capture tape.” He pulled out a spool of thin white tape. “Wrapping this around your opponent means you’ve apprehended them and they’re out for the rest of the game.”

“So, there’s a fifteen-minute time limit and the good guys have no idea what floor the nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?” Alien asked.

“Correct!”

“Then the heroes are clearly as a disadvantage here, a big one!”

I scoffed, folding my arms. “Of course they fucking are. The heroes are entering the villain’s territory. Do you expect them to sit down and give the heroes info about the building and the bomb before they start fighting?”

She frowned at me. “Well, no, but…”

“Real pros have to outwit villains on a daily basis!” Toshi explained. “That’s life. Even when the odds aren’t in our favor, we fight! All together!”

“Let’s hear a plus ultra!” Everyone raised their arm just as Toshi did, chorusing the phrase.

Well, he certainly knows how to inspire people, I’ll give him that. He already has these kids wrapped around his fucking finger. It’s impressive, and kind of terrifying.

“Monsieur,” French Fry called out. “He’s on the move.”

Everyone turned their attention back to the fight as Bakugo started to attack. Bunny tried to wrap the tape around the blonde’s leg but he pulled free, attacking with an explosion that Bunny barely managed to dodge.

“The little guy’s really good!”

“He’s holding his own and he hasn’t even used his quirk yet!”

Hmm, that’s a good point. Why hasn’t he used his quirk? Is it something you can’t physically see? Or maybe… maybe he can’t control it. I glanced at Toshi, who seemed to be deep in thought. Something feels off about this, but what the fuck is it?

Bunny took off through the maze of hallways, easily losing Bakugo. Meanwhile, the brunette was busy searching for the bomb.

“That guy has some real anger issues. It’s kinda scary…”

He seems to have more pride than anger and the two are feeding off of each other. That’s gonna be a serious problem for that kid. Will he overcome it, I wonder? Oh, the brunette found the bomb, but what is she gonna do about it? She… Is she laughing? And now Prep has noticed her presence. Jesus, these guys are a mess. I glanced at the clock. Six minutes left. I wonder if they can manage to pull this off.

Bakugo appeared behind Bunny and his right gauntlet flashed once. A bad feeling settled in the pit of my stomach as I stepped forward, pushing the others out of my way. Shadow called my name, but I ignored it, my eyes trained on the scene. He pulled back the trigger, revealing a pin as he changed his stance.

“Young Bakugo! Don’t do it! You’ll kill him!”

I could feel the raw power building from here. A chill went down my spine as he pulled the pin, unleashing a huge blast that rocked the city.

“Come in! Come in Midoriya!”

Using the blast as a distraction, the brunette tried to claim the bomb, but before she could touch it, Prep sped by and picked it up, safely moving it to the other side of the room.

“Sir, isn’t this getting out of hand?” Red asked, worry lacing his voice. “That Bakugo is acting real crazy. He’s gonna kill ’em!”

“Not so,” Toshi replied, but his voice was shaking a bit. He was silent for a moment before talking over the mic. “Bakugo, use that store up power again and I’ll stop this fight. Your team will lose.”

I scowled at him. Why the fuck isn’t he stopping it now?

“To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting!” He continued. “That’s a poor strategy, whether you’re a hero or a villain. The penalty will be a massive loss of points.”

Toshi, why aren’t you stopping this? I don’t understand what you’re trying to achieve here. Am I missing something? Is this one of the secrets you’re hiding from me?

Bakugo rushed forward and Bunny aimed a punch at him, which he easily dodged in mid-air, blasting Bunny in the back.

“What was that move?”

Peppermint spoke up for the first time, his deep voice pulling my attention away from the screen. “He doesn’t come off as a guy with a strategy, but he’s actually quite intelligent.”

“What are you talking about?”

“He changed his trajectory while in mid-air using a blast that doubled as a smokescreen. Very clever.”

Big Boobs added, “A feint attack like that requires an extreme amount of precision. He had to calculate the physics and demonstrate control over his quirk”

“Ugh, Bakugo is uber-talented. I hate it,”

Who the fuck says ‘uber’ unironically? My hands balled up into fists at my sides as Bakugo mercilessly attacked Bunny. It was like I was looking at the male version of Skye and Heather, but with fucking powers. This guy isn’t trying to win, he’s trying to prove a fucking point by building up his ego.

“This is hard to watch! All he has to do is wrap tape around him, not kill him!”

“Bakugo is certainly acting like a villain,” Fumi commented, darkly.

I could see Toshi’s hand shaking as he held the small mic in his hand.

“I thought Midoriya was pretty amazing at the start of the fight, but he’s completely outmatched in terms of combat power. Not to mention, Bakugo seems like a natural at this stuff.”

Toshi, what is going through your head? Why do you look so torn?

“He’s running away!”

“Not very manly, but he doesn’t have a choice. He’s out-gunned. Unless he’s got some sorta plan… it’s impossible.”

Oi, oi, oi, that’s some serious fucking power radiating off of that kid! It almost feels like…

Fuck. Midoriya is your successor, ain’t he Toshi? That’s why the name is so familiar, you mentioned it to me when you first found him, but I was so preoccupied with my own training that I forgot all about it.

“They’re gonna kill each other! Sir!”

Goddamn it! I bolted from the room, ignoring the yells from the others. I don’t know what that kid is trying to accomplish here and I personally don’t give a fuck about his motives. I didn’t stand up for myself all those years that Skye and Heather tortured me. All the insults and the daily beatings… I took them without even trying to fight back! I always told myself that it was because they were stronger. How could I hope to beat two girls that had been studying martial arts since they were five?

I told myself that if I just accepted their torture, they wouldn’t bully others. But I… I knew all along that they were still hurting other kids. It was a cop-out for myself. I knew what they were doing, but I did nothing! I didn’t stand up to them because, and because I was a cowardly little bitch, other people got hurt. Not anymore. I won’t let history repeat itself. I’ve got power now, and I won’t fucking waste it.

My feet pounded against the pavement as I ran, but just as I reached the building, a large explosion shook the earth, traveling up the building. I quickly lifted my arms against the force of the flying glass and debris, feeling a sting in my cheek. The entire building shook from the force of the blast.

Damn it, I wasn’t fast enough! I jumped off the railing, using it to propel myself farther as I jumped at the building, my hands digging into the broken glass of the window frame. I winced in pain, gritting my teeth as I pulled myself up and into the room. Voices reached my ears from a large hole on the right wall.

“This was your big plan… from the very beginning, wasn’t it?! You were playing me the entire time, you bastard!” There’s so much hatred and anger in Bakugo’s voice that it almost covered up the betrayal, but I could hear it.

“I wasn’t… going to use it…”

I stepped closer to the hole as the smoke cleared. Midoriya’s arm was swollen and discolored, just like his finger had been before. One for All did that to him?

“…because I can’t control it… my body just can’t handle… the backlash of my power yet… Mr. Aizawa said I’d be useless… but this was all… that I… could think of… this is the only way… I had any chance at winning…”

Fuck, why is my heart hurting so bad listening to him?

“The hero team… wins!!”

“Oi!” I jumped through the hole as he fell to the ground. I checked his pulse – it was slow but stable. “Jeez, kid. This was just an exercise… and you!” My gaze snapped to the blonde as I stood up, grabbing a fistful of his shirt. “What in the nine fucking hells is wrong with you?! You wanna be a hero? Cut the fucking bullshit!” I shoved him back. He stumbled but stayed on his feet, wide eyes staring at the floor. “Does a hero do that, huh?! Look at him, Bakugo!” He grabbed his face, forcing him to look at the unconscious boy. “If this is how heroes do shit, then count me the fuck out.”

His eyes snapped to mine and I could see the remorse lingering deep within them, but I was far too angry to care. I shoved him away again before returning to the green-haired boy, carefully slipping my arms under his body. I glanced at the blonde over my shoulder before scoffing and jumping down from the large hold on the side of the building. I hit the ground running, hurrying to get him to the nurse’s office.

Waiting for a Star to Fall Ch 6: Bust a Move

I liiiiivveee!!! Sorry for the obscene wait on this guys. I’m trying to do better and it’s my goal to put out some more updates this week.

Meena looked down at her phone screen as she sat at her kitchen counter, sipping her orange juice and aimlessly stirring the soggy remains of her cereal around in the bowl. She had spent a lazy morning in bed trying to decide how to spend her rare day off. She knew that she should probably get started on unpacking the moving boxes that still littered her house, but she just couldn’t seem to get behind the idea. Finally she decided on doing some more baby shopping with her recent paycheck, but she really didn’t want to go alone. And that’s how she found herself staring at her phone, hoping that someone would text her or call her before she had to reach out. Her phone’s blank screen glared up at her, taunting her with it’s lack of messages.

Hesitantly, she picked up the offending device and opened up the neighborhood group chat that Ash had added her to. Almost immediately she was engaged in a inner battle with her own shyness and her intense reluctance to shop alone. She debated whether or not to extend an open invitation to her neighbors for what felt like an eternity, one side of her brain insisting that she couldn’t possibly invite a stranger with her to shop for her babies, while the other side insisted that she reach out and make some friends. Eventually her desire for a shopping buddy won out and she slowly typed out a message.

Meena: Hello! I have some baby shopping to do and I was wondering if anyone wanted to tag along?

She stared at the screen despondently, thick regret filling her as soon as the message was sent. Did the exclamation mark make her sound too excited? Or was she too needy? What if they didn’t remember who she was? After all, she had only met them at the barbeque, and except for Ash and Johnny she hadn’t really run into any of them. Her panic mounted when the little bubble popped up to signify that someone was replying to her message. Why had she added that exclamation mark?! Her heart felt ready to jump out of her throat before the messages finally started to pour in.

Buster: Sorry Meena, I’m stuck at the church fixing some leaky pipes

Okay Buster wasn’t her first choice for baby shopping, so she wasn’t too bummed. Honestly she was hoping that Ash or Rosita would be free. As if the universe was determined to crush her plans, the next message popped up.

Ash: Lo siento querida I took an extra shift at the diner. Miss you! Send me pics!

Her heart definitely sunk at that. That was four neighbors down for the count. She never really expected Mike to reply in the group message anyways, and something told her that Miss Crawly didn’t have a cell phone, let alone know how to use one.

Johnny: Hey Meena! I’m stuck at the garage all day. But we should do something soon!

Johnny’s message was a relief more than any of the others. After Sunday and her subsequent talk with Ash, she wasn’t quite sure that she had built up sufficient courage to hang out with Johnny without turning into a stuttering mess. Just thinking about it made her hands clammy with nerves.

Gunter: meena! U must com 2 dance studio soon. I hav 2 take kids 2 gymnastics 2day. See u!

Meena struggled to read the confusing mix of numbers and abbreviations that was Gunter’s reply. The time that it took her to decipher his message gave Rosita just enough time to compose an essay detailing all of her duties that day as well as her children’s schedule. Dutifully, Meena read through the longest text message she had ever seen, her head swimming as she tried to reconcile the amount of activities with the hours in the day. It had to be physically impossible to be this busy, but if anyone could pull it off it was Rosita and her brood.

Her hopes of avoiding unpacking dashed, she set her phone down on the counter and carefully slid off of her stool in order to clean the few dishes she had managed to make. She was halfway through scrubbing her bowl when her phone buzzed loudly on the granite countertop. Meena frowned in confusion and quickly set the bowl aside to dry so that she could investigate.

Eddie: Hey Meena! My day is free if you still want to go shopping.

Meena stared at her phone in confusion as she processed the fact that, out of everyone, Eddie was the one who offered to take her shopping for baby stuff. She couldn’t even picture the man anywhere near a baby store, let alone helping her shop. And yet, her fingers hesitated over the screen before she could type out her refusal.

As if summoned, her mother’s voice rang in her head, admonishing her for assuming things about someone that she didn’t know. In truth, Eddie had been nothing but sweet at the bbq and his offer was equally kind if not more so. It only took one more glance at the pile of boxes waiting for her and her decision was made. So she took a deep breath and prepared to do the one thing that scared her more than anything. Put herself out there.

Meena: I’d love to have you along Eddie.

This time she decided against the question mark, considering how it had made her stomach churn with anxiety the first time. To her surprise, Eddie had no such qualms about expressing his eagerness to get out of the house, a fact that filled her with an odd sense of satisfaction.

Eddie: Awesome!! I’ll pick you up in like 20 minutes?

Reflexively, Meena wanted to protest his offer of a ride, but a well timed twinge in her back quickly changed her mind. Besides, riding the bus with her purchases was not an ideal scenario.

She sent back a confirmation before waddling as fast as she could to her room to change out of her bathrobe and into actual clothes. She slipped on a white, flower print dress made from light, flowing material that accented her bump nicely without hugging every inch of it. She paired it with a pair of tight black leggings that made her feel comfortable. She was in the middle of working her way around her belly in order to lace up her beat up pink converse when a loud honk outside her front door interrupted her struggle.

Quickly she finished the stubborn knot, grabbed her purse and shouldered her worn jean jacket as she left the house. As soon as she turned around, one arm still hanging out of her jacket, she caught sight of her unlikely companion for the day.

Eddie was lounging in the front seat of a vintage sea blue convertible that looked like it had rolled off the assembly line that morning. From what she could see, he was wearing a bulky red starter jacket fresh out of the 90s with white embellishments and a little E monogramed on the chest. His cheesy gold jewelry still adorned his neck and the combination of his curly black afro facial hair made it look like he had just rolled off of a couch in the 90s and up to her house.

Meena returned his eager grin with a shy smile as she made her way down the driveway, slipping her jacket the rest of the way on as she walked. Eddie bounced out of the car and ushered her to the passenger side, opening the door for her and doing his best to play the gentleman as he helped her into the low white leather seats. As soon as she was settled in and had situated her seatbelt so that it rested comfortably around her waist and not her pregnant belly, Eddie jogged over to the other side of the car and landed heavily into his seat, bouncing slightly when the white leather caught him. He shot her a wink and pulled two pairs of sunglasses out of nowhere, sliding his on in a move that reminded her of a cheesy action hero. The fact that this little show was obviously rehearsed only made it easier for her to let her laugh free from her usual shy restraints as she slipped on the proffered sunglasses and found a whole new side of herself.

Suddenly she was relaxing back into the leather seat, one arm casually resting on the side of the car. An foreign sense of calm and confidence washed over her as she and Eddie glanced at each, nodded seriously and looked forward as Eddie turned on the radio and put the car into gear and a funky, familiar beat burst out of the speakers to echo in the peaceful culdesac.

They sped off, simultaneously swaying to the beat, Meena trusting her unlikely companion to know the way to the best baby shopping. She let out a surprised laugh when Eddie began vigorously rapping along with the song, his mouth moving a mile a minute as he effortlessly kept up with the beat and perfectly pronounced every word. It was just the right side of dorky to be impressive and she continued to bounce to the beat as the music filled her senses and the wind whipped satisfyingly through her hair.

This here's a tale for all the fellas Tryin’ to do what those ladies tell us Get shot down cause ya over-zealous Play hard to get females get jealous Okay smarty go to a party Girls are scantily clad and showin’ body A chick walks by you wish you could sex her But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter Next days function high class luncheon Food is served and you're stone-cold munchin' Music comes on people start to dance But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants A girl starts walking guys start gawking Sits down next to you and starts talking Says she wants to dance cause she likes to groove So come on fatso and just bust a move

Slowly Meena felt her walls starting to crumble under a nostalgic beat that had been one of her father’s favorites and the adorably dorky antics of her new friend. She was filled with pleasant nostalgia as the image of her father dancing to the song while he did work around the house popped into her mind’s eye. He would always take her hand and spin her around in a flurry of improvised dance moves that had always coaxed a breathless laugh out of her. And as she watched Eddie’s lanky form wriggle in his best attempt at dancing while still paying attention to the road gripping the steering wheel, that same breathless laugh burst from her chest and happiness bloomed in her with renewed vigor. Eddie glanced over at her when her laugh echoed along with the beat. He gave her another cheesy grin and launched into the next round of rapping with increased fervor and utter joy.

You're on a mission and your wishin' Someone could cure your lonely condition Lookin' for love in all the wrong places No fine girls just ugly faces From frustration first inclination Is to become a monk and leave the situation But every dark tunnel has a light of hope So don't hang yourself, with a celibate rope Your movie's showin', so you're goin Could care less about the five you're blowin' Theater gets dark just to start the show Then ya spot a fine woman sittin' in your row She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello, come sit next to me you fine fellow." You run over there without a second to lose And what comes next hey bust a move

Meena found herself clapping along with Eddie’s performance and suddenly she wasn’t the only one getting into the spirit of the catchy tune. A very firm volley of kicks coming from her swollen stomach gave her the last push that she needed to join in on the song, her sweet voice shocking Eddie into silence as she took over the hook that followed his next round. Normally she wouldn’t be caught dead singing in front of other people, especially in somewhere as public as a convertible, but her sudden bout of freedom was mercilessly doing away with her inhibitions. To think it had only taken a 90s rap song and a pair of sunglasses.

You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it Yeah

By the time she had finished her hook they had pulled up to a stop light and were met with scrutiny from the cars on either side of them. For the first time in her life Meena didn’t crumple under the pressure of an audience. Sure her heart was pounding in her chest and she was slightly out of breath, but instead of hiding she was breaking out her best car dancing, which mainly consisted of a lot of hand and arm movements mixed with head bobs. Eddie was actually taking cues from her so that they were moving in sync as he rapped proudly to their captive audience of teenage girls on one side and a carful of little kids on the other.

In this city ladies look pretty Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty Tell a funny joke just to get some play Then you try to make a move and she says, "No way" Girls are fakin' goodness sakin' They want the man who brings home the bacon Got no money and you got no car Then you got no woman and there you are Some girls are sadistic, materialistic Lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic They're lyin' on a beach perpetrating a tan So a brother with the money can be their man So on the beach you're strollin' real high rollin' Everything you have is yours and not stolen A girl runs up with somethin' to prove So don't just stand there bust a move

As soon as the light changed to green Eddie hit the gas and sped through the intersection, leaving the kids laughing and the teenagers scarred for life, in true dad fashion. Meena let out another loud laugh, leaning back in the convertible as the wind whipped around her and she sang loudly to the world, her cares disappearing altogether.

You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it Yeah

They finally pulled into the parking lot of one of the local baby stores and Meena felt a light fluttering in her stomach as she rubbed her stomach and undid her seatbelt. Though the car was parked, Eddie was still rapping and dancing in his seat, acting silly just to get another laugh from Meena. She shook her head in amused exasperation and struggled her way out of the low convertible. By the time she was upright and closing her car door, Eddie had resumed his rapping without the help of the song. Now that he had the use of his entire body once more he was doing his best attempt at a moonwalk on the gravel of the lot, still flailing awkwardly with his arms. It was a dad dance if Meena had ever seen one.

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry In five days from now he's gonna marry He's hopin' you can make it there if you can Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man You say neat-o, check your libido And roll to the church in your new tuxedo The bride walks down just to start the wedding And there's one more girl you won't be getting So you start thinkin' then you start blinking The bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking She thinks your kinda cute so she winks back And now your feelin' really firm cause the girl is stacked Reception's jumpin' bass is pumpin' You look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin' Says she wants to dance to a different groove Now you know what to do G bust a move

He stopped her in front of the cart area before she could try to wrench one from the masses, fixing her with an expectant stare. Meena laughed and blushed, the freedom of expression of the car fading. She couldn’t resist finishing the song though so she sang the last hook, accompanying it with a careful little spin that had her babies kicking in protest.

You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it (Just bust a move) You want it, you got it You want it, baby you got it (move it boy) Yeah

“Dude. That was awesome!” Eddie crowed as he pushed the sunglasses up to inevitably get tangled in his afro and grinned at Meena with surprisingly innocent eyes for a grown man. She smiled back, her cheeks coloring a deeper red as looked anywhere but at his eager face. However, Eddie didn’t slow down her even a second, gesticulating wildly with his arms as he wrestled with the stack of shopping carts.

“That song is off the chain! And you! Your voice was totally rad!” He exclaimed, still tryin to wrench at least one cart free from the pile, to no avail.

Meena was quick to deny his praise, hoping to avoid those same questions that she had been hearing since her singing and stage fright simultaneously came into the light, “Oh. No. It was nothing, just a bit of fun, nothing special.”

Eddie halted his seemingly impossible quest for a cart, not noticing one heavily pregnant woman that snuck in and easily withdrew one of the other carts as he stared at Meena in bewilderment. Meena braced herself for the familiar litany of questions, her entire body tensing up, but instead of asking her why she didn’t sing more, why she was embarrassed Eddie just shrugged amicably and began wrestling with the carts once more, pulling with the full force of his lanky form.

Meena gaped at him in relieved amazement for a few moments, perpetually grateful that he had picked up on how uncomfortable she was with the topic of discussion and had dropped it. It was probably the first time in her life that that had happened, including incidents with her own family. A genuine grin spread across her face at his unspoken kindness and she relaxed her stance to a state of relaxation a few steps away from what it had been in the car. As she watched the older man struggled with the stubborn stack of carts like a child she marvelled at the fact that they must have been standing there for five minutes and he still had yet to get a cart free. With an exasperated smile she went to the other stack of carts and easily pulled one free.

“Eddie?” He looked up from his task and smiled sheepishly when he saw her waiting with an identical cart to the one he had been fighting with. He quickly let his new nemesis go and leapt onto the cart she had procured, riding it like a child instead of pushing it normally.

“Alright Meena! Let’s get this party started!” He exclaimed and kicked off the ground, propelling himself forward and into the store. Meena just shook her head and followed after him, entering the store with less exuberance but no less excitement. She loved shopping for baby stuff, it made her chest warm with excitement for the day when she would actually get to use all of the stuff she bought.

She found herself following Eddie as he rode the cart through the store to a specific aisle. She was infinitely grateful for his slow pace as her back was sending little twinges of protest to her movement. Shopping for baby stuff seemed to reveal a whole new facet of Eddie’s personality as a parent as he loaded her cart with the basics, each one accompanied by his own personal explanation of why it was the best choice. His explanations were, of course, filled with nineties slang that she was starting to reconcile with his personality, but he was actually really knowledgable about all of this stuff. He showed her the most reliable brand of baby bottles that came in cute little designs.

Meena’s soft smile stayed on her face as they traversed aisle after aisle, gathering all of the things on Meena’s list before getting to the fun part: browsing what she wanted to buy but couldn’t afford. Meena was wistfully staring up at double stroller that was built especially for twins up to the first year of their life. She winced when she looked at the price tag but she couldn’t tear herself away from the display. Suddenly she was descending into a panic sinkhole, falling deeper and deeper as she frantically asked herself how she was going to support twins working as a waitress when she could barely afford a nice stroller for them. Suddenly she was suffocating in questions she didn’t know how to answer. How was she going to handle one baby, let alone two? How was she going to work? What if something was wrong with her babies? With her? Was she ready to be a mother? Could she do this on her own??

And that was how Eddie found her when he rolled up with the cart from the baby clothes area where he had been slowly losing his mind over the sheer cuteness of the tiny scale of all of the baby clothes. She was staring at an expensive stroller and frantically cradling her stomach as a few tears escaped from her eyes. Eddie sighed as he took in her defeated stance and he felt a bolt of nostalgia shoot through him, sending him back to the days when he had been suddenly shoved into parenthood and was quickly overwhelmed by the pressures of raising a kid.

He left the cart off to the side and tentatively wrapped an arm around Meena’s shoulder in what he hoped was a comforting manner. When she leaned into his touch slightly and let out a pitiful little sniffle that tore his heart apart in his chest, he shifted his grip so that he was hugging her in the middle of a department store while she covered his favorite red jacket in silent tears. Slowly she calmed down enough for Eddie to guide her to the check out where she avoided the cashier’s concerned gaze and quickly paid for everything. Without a word, Eddie picked up all of the bags and led a despondent Meena out where the car was waiting for them.

Suddenly the plush white leather wasn’t comforting of freeing, it was a poor substitute for her bed as she curled up into it and tried valiantly to stop the steady stream of tears that had started up again. The rational part of her brain was berating her for ruining a perfectly good outing with her fears, but she quickly shoved it aside so that she could try to sort through the mess of anxiety that was consuming her. She didn’t even register Eddie starting the car or the wind in her hair as her surroundings faded out until she was left in muted isolation.

She was jolted out of her daze when she felt a soft touch on her shoulder, that small point of contact yanking her back to reality where she was sitting in Eddie’s convertible, in front of his house, crying. She looked up to find her door open and Eddie waiting patiently, watching her with an encouraging smile and an outstretched hand to help her out of the car. Sheer, horrifying embarrassment at her sudden breakdown filled her and she opened her mouth to say something, anything, some kind of apology for the way that a simple stroller had sent her into a breakdown, but Eddie beat her to the punch.

“Do you uh… wanna come in for some tea?” Meena blinked up at him for an eternity, her frazzled mind desperately trying to process that he had just invited her in for tea, was voluntarily asking to spend more time with her, even though she had just broken down in a department store and had to be ushered out in tears. After a few more minutes of awkward silence she shut her gaping mouth and nodded out a tentative acceptance to his invitation.

Eddie’s smile widened a little bit and Meena found herself mesmerized by the way that his expressive gaze seemed more understanding than sympathetic, like he actually knew what she was going through. It was part of the reason that she let him help her out of the car and into the large house that was waiting for them.

She blinked and suddenly found herself ensconced in a plush couch while a tea kettle whistled and Eddie bustled around the kitchen, his warm voice rambling to fill up the silence as he worked, “I hope you like Lapsang souchong, it’s kinda the only tea I know how to make. I had to learn for when my Nana comes to visit cause it’s the only thing that stubborn old battle axe will drink.”

He returned to the living room with two cups of tea on a tray with a small bowl of sugar. Meena carefully took the mug he offered her and added a healthy addition of sugar so that the smoky flavor transformed into a sweeter note. She took a couple of sips, staring down into her mug as she gathered the courage to speak.

“L-Listen Eddie I’m s-s-sorry about… ev-everything.” She finally stuttered out, but Eddie was settled back into the couch, sipping from his psychadelic mug and looking at her with an unreadable look that silenced her before she could go any further. As he looked her over, her eyes red from crying and her cheeks covered in the remnants of her tear tracks, a wistful look came over his face and his childish light faded from his brown eyes and was replaced by a serious, sad look.

“Louis isn’t my biological son.” He blurted out and Meena’s embarrassment and sadness were overtaken by confusion as the conversation took a sharp turn away from her apology and into Eddie’s personal territory. She wanted to protest that he didn’t have to feel obligated to tell her anything, but something about the look on his face told her that Eddie needed to share this with her, that it was important for both of them.

“Thirteen years ago I was 25 and still partying my life away while everyone else my age was growing up. I was stuck in a rut that I didn’t know how to get out of, and I didn’t want to. I had my parent’s money to leech off of and their pool house to live in. It was shitty. And then one morning I woke up from another party to the sound of a baby crying. I thought I was hallucinating from some drugs that I probably took ,but the crying kept going until I waded through the mess that was my home to the front door. I opened it up and there he was, laying on my pool deck in a green onesie sobbing his head off. I stared at him forever until I finally got up the courage to go over and poke him like a little boy poking a bug. I half-expected him to disappear in front of me, but he just cried louder.” Eddie let out a little laugh at himself and Meena gripped her mug close to her chest, the heat of the liquid inside having nothing to do with the warmth that was spreading through her chest as she watched Eddie tell his story.

“So I picked the little guy up and I just… I remember thinking that he was the most beautiful thing in the whole world. Like I wasn’t big on babies but this little guy had the softest little tuft of orange hair on his head and the biggest, saddest little green eyes. I was hooked on him. He stopped crying and we kinda just sat on a pool chair, staring at each other for like forever. By the time I brought him up to my parents, he was already mine.” Now he turned to her, he smile sad and his gaze radiating empathy.

“I was just a kid. I’m still kind of a kid fumbling my way through this, but I love Louis and I refused to give him up. Sure things were scary, my parents didn’t think I could handle it and my Nana never stopped hounding me to get rid of him like he was the trash I had forgotten to take out the night before. I wasn’t trained to be a parent, shit I was still living in my parents’ pool house when I started raising Louis. So many nights I would sit there and wonder if he was better off without me, if I was better off without all the stress that came with a baby, but then he’d look up at me again with those sad green eyes and he got me through it. I love that kid with all I got and it got me through, still gets me through, the hard stuff.” He reached out and rested a hand on Meena’s shoulder, smiling down at her as she looked up at him with a mix of shock and gratitude.

“You’ll get through this Meena. I know it’s freakin’ scary and you don’t have all the answers right now, but you’re not alone, not as long as you got those two little gifts.” He gestured to her stomach and Meena reflexively rested her hand on it, the warmth in her chest spreading to her stomach where she could swear she felt two little heart beats joining hers. She felt her eyes fill with tears again, but this time she couldn’t hold back the questions and one escaped from her mouth against her will.

“B-But I’m just a waitress. How can I support t-two kids on a waitress’s salary? I have s-savings but… what about the future?” Eddie screwed up his mouth in concentration and looked at her curiously, trying to find the right words to say.

“Well what did you want to do before you got pregnant?” He answered her question for another question and for a moment Meena was back in her mother’s kitchen, whipping up her grandfather’s birthday cake and meticulously decorating it with icing. She had spent the entire day on that cake, it had been an utter masterpiece, and though her grandfather had been fussing when he dug into it, he had expressed his admiration in his own special way.

“I…well I love to b-bake.” She offered up half-heartedly and after a few minutes of deliberation, Eddie’s eyes lit up like a spotlight and he began babbling so quickly that Meena couldn’t quite understand him as he scrambled for his laptop where it was buried under an assorted pile of comic books and magazines. He whipped it open and suddenly Meena was able to make out what he was rambling about.

“Me? Open a bakery?” She gaped at him in surprise and her insecurities scrambled to shut it down before hope of something more could blossom in her chest, “I-I couldn’t! I wouldn’t know the first thing about it and I don’t have the money to start something like this and… I can’t.” She protested vehemently and though Eddie looked a little discouraged at her lack of faith in herself, he was still stubborn in his optimism.

“Meena, I ate some of your cheesecake at the barbeque. If everything you make is that good you’ll be swimming in customers.” When her nerves weren’t visibly erased, he softened his determined look and gave her a pleading look.

“Just think about it okay? It’s not just for you.” A heavy silence settled between them as Meena battled internally over what to do, whether or not to let herself have hope that she could succeed with something like this, whether or not to try. She glanced nervously at his pleading, eager look and found that he looked almost like a little kid giving someone the puppy dog look, even though he was older than her. In the end she just rested her hand on her stomach and swallowed the bitter taste of nerves and took a half-step forward into her future.

“Okay. I’ll think about it.” She pulled the lanky man forward and enveloped him in a tight, slightly awkward hug that he returned with surprised sort of happiness.

“Thank you Eddie. For everything.” And yet again she found herself hit by the realization that she was not alone, that she was surrounded by friends, even in the most unlikely of forms.

I received a letter from my employer last December stating that I did not have to change anything in regards to the Affordable Health Care Act. Two months later, I received a letter from my insurance company saying that I have inadequate coverage and need to visit healthcare.gov to find different coverage. I found new coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield through healthcare.gov (I was planning on going BCBS anyway). I asked the woman who I spoke with when I should cancel my previous insurance benefits. She replied Wait a couple of weeks until you get all of your new information from BCBS . Here's where the issue comes in. When I contacted Nationwide (my previous insurance company) to cancel they said I had to fill out and send back a form. Basically, the form asked why I was cancelling. Go figure there was no option for them not having the correct benefits. Anyway, I sent that back and proof of my new policy (they wanted the effective date) Nationwide DENIED my request to cancel stating that I only had 30 days from the time my new coverage began to inform them. Even though their coverage doesn't meet the AHCA requirements, I cannot cancel until my company's open enrollment (December) Can they legally decline my cancellation request?""

Car insurance with teenagers.?

My mom and I have been checking around for cars to buy because I have a scholarship and one college class right now, and I need the transportation so that I can go to study sessions for the college class, and to the meetings for my scholarship. We really don't have a lot of money. I work but only on Saturday because of school. My mom has Progressive right now and she checked how much it would be to have me and a new car on the insurance and it is a whopping $500 a month (her, her truck, me, and my car included).. We need an insurance company that isn't going to cost us a 1/4 of our income. At first we were looking at older cars under $2500. Then my mom was thinking it would be better to get me a new car with good gas mileage so she wouldn't have to worry about me being safe and not breaking down on the side of the road... But we can afford a new car, not with our down payment. The monthly payments are too high. So now we are going back to the older cars, and if we have a fully paid for vehicle, I am sure the insurance won't be as high. But here it, I am 16 years old, took driver's ed and have an insurance waiver that is supposed to bring the insurance down 10%. I also have good grades, a scholarship, a job, etc.. These things should look good to the insurance and bring the cost down.. I am safe driver as well.. Not driving far daily at all. Basically back and forth from school and to those meetings and study sessions every now and then. Any suggestions as to what car to look for and what insurace company we should go with?

Question About Car Insurance/Learner's Permit?

All the hospital bills are payed for; however, the surgeon has charged me an additional 1,445.00. I never even saw the surgeon after the hospital. I went in for follow-ups to his office but would always miss him. I gave my insurance card to front desk girl and she told me she didn't need it but just in case she made a copy. Now two years later I come to find out that there is this bill!!!???? What can I do?""

Will this effect my car insurance?

(btw if this makes any difference whatsoever, I live in the UK) So I'm soon to be a new driver and insurance for new drivers at the moment is really expensive! I'm aware of that! But my question was this: basically I'm looking to buy my first car, but the car I'm looking to buy was involved in an accident with not the current owner, but the owner before that! And I don't quite fully understand this but the accident was apparently a 'Category D' accident? So what I was wondering was, as this car has been in an accident, (but is now repaired) even though it wasn't me who had the accident, will this effect the price of my car insurance, as the car I will be driving will have been involved in an accident before, but not involving myself? Thanks guys :) xx""

How much (on average) does it cost to get insured?

I have been doing side cleaning for some friends and family so of course I'm not insured or bonded. But I can make anywhere from $50-$80 for less then 2 hours of work. I started working PT at a cleaning company so that I could get more experience (and a little more pay) and learn a bit about the business. Of course what I'm learning is that instead of making the full $50-$80 for my services I'm making only 20% and the rest of course goes to the company! I feel I can do much better on my own and really want to work towards that so I know my best bet is to get insurance and bonding. Roughly what is the premium for it? I guess I wouldn't need to be insured for no more then $25,000 -$50,000. And are bonding and insurance liability fees seperate?? Any help would be appreciated. thanks""
