DECEMBER 25th 2024.

Bug had been on edge the entire day.

Carlos had stormed out before Patrick had even woken up after some stupid argument about where Carlos would sit amongst the rest of the family. Eve had gladly taken over watching Patrick while Bug and Grace spoke on the side of the room.

Three hours past midnight, now officially a whole other day, Carlos walked into the bedroom. "You stink." Bug commented as he sat down beside her, trying to wrap his arms around her.

"What?" He questioned, his eyebrow raised.

"Alien, I don't wear Alien, but you fucking reek of it." She told him sternly. She knew one girl who wore Alien, Marcy, who worked for Bug.

"Baby." Carlos began. "Did you fuck her?" Bug asked, gripping Carlos hand that had once been on her waist.

"I- Fuck- Yes, It was a mistake Bug, I'm really fucking drunk baby." Carlos stammered.

"You're such a cunt!" Bug yelled, for that moment, she didn't give a shit if her family heard her. Carlos got up and covered her mouth with his hand, Bug quickly shoved his hand back, and he stumbled, falling into the floor and slamming his behind right down.

Bug left out a loud huff, before stomping her foot and letting out a blood curdling scream that quickly turned into a. "Get out!" That was repeated almost two dozen times before Elijah burst into the room.

"What on earth is happening?" He asked in a raspy voice, obviously not yet fully awake. "He cheated on me," Bug said as she lunged at a now standing Carlos and attempted to strike him. Carlos quickly ran out the door and down the stairs.

Bug pushed past Elijah and walked to the family bathroom, she turned on the bath and sat herself in it, she needed to wash herself clean, clean of Carlos, clean of the scent of Alien. She felt like she would be sick if she didn't.

The next morning, Bug acted like nothing had happened, which caused Elijah to wonder whether he had imagined the encounter entirely in his sleep.
