One Shot 6: Meat

Travis Stoll was just sitting at home staring at squirrels when he heard the familiar sound of two 13 year old twins fighting.

He just went back to staring at squirrels until he heard a loud sound of a knuckle colliding with a face. He groaned and walked away from the window to see what was going on.

"What the hell are you two doing?" he asked.

Both of them were ignoring him. Well, Jacob was yelling too loud for any of them to hear them. A little blonde girl by the age of seven was sitting in between them looking worried. "WAS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO FUCKING PUNCH ME IN THE FACE?" Hailey stared at him with her arms crossed.

"YES!" she argued back. "Because your stupid face irritated me," By now Rosalie had gotten up and hid behind her father gently tugging at his t-shirt. He gently patted her on the head as he kept standing there waiting for them to realize he was right there.

"SO YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE FREAKING FACE?" Jacob yelled. He took his hand off his eye and there lay a bruise surrounding his eye.

"YES!" Hailey opened her mouth to say something else about his ungodly face but she quickly shut it as she saw her father standing there.

Jacob turned around and grew silent. "Uh… hey Dad…"

Travis took Jacob by the arm and led him to the kitchen. As Katie would do, he was going to try to heal him. But not the way she would do it.

He sat his son down on a chair and walked to the freezer and grabbed a steak. Then he walked over and slammed it on the wound. "Is this sanitary?" Jacob asked. Travis rolled his eyes on how much Jacob and Rose reminded him of Katie.

He pressed the steak even more onto Jacob's face. "Yes, if it wasn't then I'd be dead by a Catholic nun," he replied.

"A Catholic nun?" Hailey asked. "You were Catholic?"

"No, my mom thought for some stupid reason to send me and Connor to Catholic School," he replied yet again. "Nothing but rulers and steaks to black eyes," He let go of the steak and let Jacob hold it. "Didn't really learn anything that year, but that's not saying much,"

Hailey smiled. She didn't really learn anything from school either. She was more of a streets smart person. Plus she forced Jacob to do all her homework for her on short notices. She forced Jacob to do a lot of things for her. He always protested but at the end due to his Katie-ness he did it anyway.

Just then the rattling of keys was right outside and the front door opened. Katie Stoll walked in shrugging off her white lab coat. She threw her bag on the floor and threw the hair tie that held up her hair in a messy bun to the floor. Momentarily she hated that hair tie.

She walked into the kitchen proclaiming what she wanted but then stopping to find her son with a frozen steak on his face. "TRAVIS I NEED SE—Wait, why does—"

Jacob pointed at Hailey. "With a steak? Why the hell would you do that Travis? I don't think that's even sanitary!"

Travis smiled. That whole sentence was what he was expecting.

She smacked him upside the head.

"You idiot."

Ha, such an abrupt ending but I'm going to crank out two because I have an idea for another one-shot. Sorry this is so short too but then again this is a one-shot, and this is my writing so I can make it as short as I fucking want! Sorry for that outburst but I just needed to say that.

The whole one-shot came to me when I was helping putting away frozen steaks and I imagined Jacob Stoll sitting in the kitchen with a frozen steak on a black eye. And then I mused and thought about Hailey punching him because she hated his face and thus this started.

So you'll hear from me tomorrow because I'll be sleeping and going to school and such. Ok, bye!
