All the lights were off when Devit arrived home. Like a cat he crept oh so slowly from the back door into the kitchen, passed the dinning room over the family room, up the stairway, and quietly into his own den. Devit's eyes laid heavy against his skull, his job couldn't' have worked him harder after he came back. Good thing tomorrow was Sunday. No work, mom at church, sleeping in. Devit took two more deep breaths before the sandman stole his will to stay awake.

Devit woke up to screaming, specifically his mothers.

"What are you doing still sleeping?" Service starts In a half an hour!" HIs mother bellowed from his door.

""Mom... Why do I have to got to church?" Devit moaned.

"No complaining! If I wanted complaining I'd talk to your father!" His mother shouted from the hallway.

In twenty minutes Devit was up and dressed by the will of his mother. Rushing out of the house and pushing their luck with the speed limit, Devit sat in the back of his mother's car with a glare of complete despair. "What's wrong sweetie?" HIs mother asked.

"Why do I have to go?" Devit mumbled.

"Because it's good for you! Maybe it'll life up your spirits..." She answered. "You've been looking so gloomy lately." Devit rolled his tired eyes.

"Where's your husband?" He asked.

"Working... Ohh that reminds me, we have to pick up your cousin on the way-"

"Is it Lilly?" Devit moaned.

"Yes it's Lilly," She answered,"What wrong with Lilly?"

"She's like five! And you always make me babysit her afterwards!" Devit complained.

"Ohh baby she loves you!" HIs mother expressed. "And she's not five, she just turned ten a month ago."

"Same difference..." Devit muttered.

"Yeah well I don't feel like hearing you two fight." HIs mother warned.

Leers of disgust came pouring from Devit's eye sockets, as a little girl whom his mother la claim to share family genes with climbed into the passengers side seat.

"Hi Devit!" The little girl's piercing tone greeted. "Your name is so funny!"

"Better than my face..." He sneered.

"That's funny too!" Lilly retorted in the same manner.

"Mom!' Devit shouted.

"Devit; shut up." HIs mother stated.

"But..." Devit said.

"Are you seriously going to argue this?" The mother restated.

"Yeah Devit you're going to argue!" Lilly chimed.

"Shut up Lilly!" Devit restated.

"Devit!" HIs mother gasped. "Don't say that to her, she's just a little girl!"

"She's being disrespectful..."Devit muttered.

"She's just a little girl." The mother repeated. Devit couldn't help but roll his pupils.

"are we there yet?" Lilly asked.

"Not yet!" The mother gleefully answered. This went on for ten minutes.

Church bells rung high in the sky, almost as if they were imported from heaven itself. That was the only thing that got Devit though service, the bells at the end, He knew if he could wait it out, all the hoopla of Sunday service that he would have the delight of hearing these beautiful bells. Lilly would always complain, they're too loud, nobody(I) don't like them! It would tear up Devit from the inside that he couldn't say anything to make her quit her never-ending whining.

Service started late for the adults thankfully, there was a separate division for kids which Lilly fit right into, giving Devit and his mother time to mingle with acquaintances. Reserved would've been an understatement to say how Devit greeted the people who blessed him and his mother, he was curt and stiff, it showed in his demeanor how uncomfortable he felt existing In such a holy place. He wished that he was with his father this weekend and instead go to mass. True Devit didn't enjoy either religion meetings but afterwards his father would let him go to confession. Never in his life did he once listen after expelling his sins, but just the sheer release getting off his soul was enough Devit needed. But this weekend wasn't his father's weekend with him and that was that. During the parts where the choir and people would sing Devit would cringe, he hated this part in both religious experiences, as his teeth grinded thought the every song, he hope and when it came time to pray, he prayed that work would call him in, so his mom didn't plan on sticking him with Lilly the whole day.

The car ride afterwards was same as the first one. Lilly wanted to listen to music, the kind that made Devit wish he owned an iPod or ice picks, so he could jab them into his eardrums. Then Lilly wanted to sing-a-long, then she wanted everyone to sing-a-long. Dear sweet mercy, Lenalee better've called me in.

"where we gonna go to next aunt Suzy?" Lilly gleefully answered.

"Back to my house where there's ice cream, and T.V, and fresh baked cookies!" Devit's mother claimed, Devit smirked.

"Yeah right, fresh baked, I saw you pick those up at the store yesterday!" Devit interjected.

"Shut up Devit." His mother spat back. "He's just trying to ruin our fun!"

"What's wrong with cousin Devi?" Lilly spoke. "Why's he always trying to ruin our fun, I wish you were my mom aunt Suzy!" Devit sneered.

""Yeah that's until the next stupid little kid comes along." Devit muttered undetected b his mother or Lilly.

So did you enjoy this new chapter? I certainly did writing it! Next chapter is going to have some Jasdero in it which should make it more fun or less, depends on how well I pace it.

*stuff about me-

I power wrote this during a late night session with my computer and myself along with a chapter for my Nanowrimo (which I'm not going to finish on time!). Then after that topped it off with some reading of Mister B. Gone, which by the way is amazingly written at least that's my perceptive on it also I recommend it (Right now, I'm not finished with it!). I'm also going to be posting a couple chapters of my Nano on my fiction press, a link should be on my profile already, if not it will be soon!

Always thank you for reading!
