Y/n's pov.
" This is not what I imagine dying peacefully is like " I said and wipe my mouth dry with the towel.
" Well, your meds aren't really working and your puking your guts out, but why are you still taking them? " he asked.
" Well at least it kills me " I said as I hang the towel, Zenix tilt his head to the side with a raise brow with an expression that says 'really'
I smile and went onto a blank expression, I walk out of the bathroom and head to the kitchen, picking up the glass full of orange juice, I take a sip and sit down on the stool.
" Are you going to get this fixed or not? " I asked as I look at the table with the knife carve mark where Coraline was stabbed.
" It should be fine, it's not that damaged " he walks in the kitchen.
" You know what's the best part of being sick? " I asked.
" What? " He asked.
" I haven't had my period for the past five months ever since I got sicker " I said.
" How is that the best part? " He asked.
" No cramps to deal with " I said, he snickers.
" Don't snicker like you know how it feels " I said.
" Cause I don't " he said and pour himself a glass of orange juice I just made.
" I kinda missed having periods too you know " I said.
" How? " He asked as he put the jug down.
" I'm always cranky, sometimes it makes my body weak and I rest a lot, I have to change multiple times a day, and now I'm just doing nothing, instead I just eat, take my meds sleep, puke " I said.
" Nothing is ever fun without anything " he said.
" Your right about that but this is the life I chose when I was shot in the head " I said.
We then hear rapid footsteps on the stairs, I turn my head and see my daughter running into the kitchen.
" Penelope, what did I say about running around the house? " I asked.
" Not to? " She asked.
" That's right " I said and she got on the stool.
" What do you want kiddo? " Zenix asked.
" I found this and I wanna know what it does " she takes out a small square packet.
I gasp and Zenix face flush red as he snatches it our of her hand.
" Eh? " Penelope said as she tilt her head to the side.
" This is nothing, it's just. . . .paper " Zenix said.
" Can I draw on it? " She asked.
" What are you doing in our room sweetie? " I asked.
" I was bored, but I saw more of it in his dresser, I'm going to go get it- "
" No! " Zenix and I both exclaimed.
She looks at the both of us in confusion.
" It'll give you cooties! " Zenix said.
Penelope screams and run into the living room where I see she jumps on the couch and wrap herself in the blanket. Zenix and I look at each other than sigh in relief.
" I told you to put it in the cabinet " I said.
" No, it's the closest to the bed so I can grab it easily while we make love " he smirks as he walks around the table, I snicker.
" Actually while I'm holding one, why don't we go upstairs? " He asked.
" Uh-huh no, Penelope is here, I am not going to risk it " I said as I place my glass down, he wraps his arms around my waist and he rest his chin on my shoulder.
" Well, it's really not your choice to make "

" I thought you said no drinking for me? " I asked as walk down the sidewalk and I see the bar ahead of us.
We intertwine our hands as we walk.
" This is your cheat day, you only have a few drinks but no strong alcohols" he said.
" Are you sure? " I asked.
" Yes I'm sure, don't worry, I had a few of our friends to join " he said.
" Who? " I asked.
" Well, Ash, Katelyn, Nadia and Garroth " he said.
" What about Aaron and Catherine? " I asked.
" They're trying to figure things out and we'll see if they'll make it " he said.
" How's Coraline? " I asked.
" She's coming with her husband " he said.
I smile and he looks at me.
" What? " He asked, I look away and shake my head.
" It's been weeks and all we have been doing is just clearing out bucket list " I said.
" Hey, at least we spend our times together " he said and we arrive at the bar.
I push the door open and the chime in the door rings, I look over at the bar to see Katelyn and Nadia already sitting down side by side on the stool.
" There she is " Nadia said as she holds her glass.
" No " I said.
" Okay " she turns back around and takes a sip of her drink.
" Just so you know, no strong alcohols, mister boyfriend is here " I gesture my head to Zenix as I look at Ethan.
He snickers.
" How about some Arnold Palmer? " He asked.
" It'll do " Zenix said and I sit down next to Kate while Zenix sit down next to me.
" So how's Penelope? " Katelyn asked.
" I'm glad to see her, she's happy as she can be " I said and take a sip of my drink.
" So where are the others? " I asked.
" I don't know, Ash is always late at everything " Nadia said.
" I'm right here " we all turn to Ethan who is cleaning a glass cup with a dry towel.
" Behind me " he said and we all tilt our heads to the right and see Ash sitting down on a stool next to a wall while holding his phone that is charging.
" I take everything back " Nadia said.
" Your just short babe " Ethan said as he place the cup down and grab the Bourbon for Zenix.
" Says the top one " Ash said, Ethan spills the Bourbon.
He roll his eyes away and grab the rag the wipe the table.
" That conversation is only for us and the details stays in our heads " Ethan puts away the bottle.
Ash smirks and scroll through his phone to whatever he's doing.
" How long have you been sitting there? " Zenix asked.
" Hours ago " Ash said.
" Hey guys " I turn to my right to see a guy with auburn hair and green emerald eyes.
" Peter?, Aren't you supposed to be with Coraline? " Katelyn asked.
" Her mother wanted to take care of her so she let me go " he said.
He looks at me in confusion.
" Y/n " I said.
" Peter " he said, I smile.
" I invited another friend of mine if you guys don't mind " he said.
" It's fine " Katelyn said.
" I gotta use the restroom " Ash stood up and place his phone down on the table.
He walks out from the bar and head to the back.
I was about to take a sip of my drink when I felt my head throbbing, I wince.
" You alright? " Zenix asked, I nodded.
" I got a headache " I said.
" Well that is not a good sign " Nadia said.
" It's fine, it'll pass " I said.
" Need aspirin? " Ethan asked.
" No, she said it'll pass " Zenix said, I turn to him and he raise a brow.
I smile as a thank, he smiles back.
" Peter! " I turn around and see Catherine, Aaron and Garroth entering the room.
" Glad you guys could make it " Nadia said.
Garroth sit down next to Zenix with Catherine and Aaron sit down next to Peter.
" What do you guys want? " Ethan asked.
" Pink vodka lemonade cocktail " Catherine said.
" Scotch " Garroth said.
" Same as his " Aaron gesture his head to Garroth.
" Whiskey " Peter said.
Ethan swiftly get the drinks done and shortly after Ash came back.
" Hey guys " he said and went back to his seat.
" Hey, I've been wondering, where has Talia been?, I haven't seen her in a while " I said.
" She's moving into a new place right now, she couldn't come " Katelyn said.
" Anyways, anyone wanna make a toast? " Catherine asked as Ethan was done making her drink.
" I volunteer as tribute " Garroth raise his glass.
We all burst out laughing.
Zenix's pov.
" How is she holding up? " Catherine asked as I watch Y/n laughing with Katelyn.
" Her sleeping hours are extending " I said.
" I read that online, I don't think she has that much time left, I already did the research you told me to do, you should try not to stress her out, it'll make it worse " she said.
" Bringing her out tonight might be the biggest mistake but I want her to have fun before she goes " I said.
" I also read, loosing memories is also one of the brain damage effects "
I had to do that last reference with Garroth.
Bye!
