I actually meant to post this last night, but I didn't . . . Yeah, I have no excuse {hangs head in shame}


"Ow!" Becca yelped as she accidentally smashed her thumb with a hammer. "Stupid hammer," she mumbled. "Stupid roof for having a stupid leak." She put the hammer down and lowered herself onto the roof's rough surface. She could always have Jonathan or Jervis help her, but she really didn't trust them with tools.

"Oh great," Becca mumbled when she saw that the nail she'd just put in was bent. "Now I gotta pull it out and put a new one in. Yay," she sighed.

The only reason she was using a hammer and nails was because her drill had stopped working. She didn't know why it stopped working, but it had pissed her off and she'd "accidentally" thrown it off the roof.

Becca raised herself on her knees and hooked the nail into the V of the hammer. She gave it a few good pulls, but it didn't budge. She stood up and pulled harder. "Stupid fucking nail," Becca grunted. "Why," she pulled even harder. "Won't." Pull. "You." Pull. "Come." Pull. "OUT!" She put all her weight into it and gave one last tug. The nail popped free and Becca felt accomplished until she realized that she was off balance. She lost her footing and went tumbling backwards.


Becca's housemates heard her cuss out the hammer for the thousandth time and decided to go outside when they heard a yelp and a loud thump.

"She probably just hit her fingers again," Jervis commented as he followed the taller man out the door. Jonathan was about to agree when he had to sidestep a falling object.

Becca's hammer.

Jonathan looked at the hammer and then looked up just in time for Becca to fall off the roof. He caught her bridal style and they both toppled over.

"Ow," Becca moaned. She rolled off him and tried to stand, but as soon as she put her right foot down her leg gave out and she fell again. "Shit, that hurts."

Jonathan sat up and reached out to grab his glasses but stopped when a searing pain ripped through his shoulder. His shoulder bone had popped out of the socket.

"You suck at breaking people's falls, you know that?" Becca said while trying to stand again.

Jonathan just glared at her.


A/N: Like I said, I meant to upload this last night, but I didn't. I still have no excuse. {hangs head in shame, again}
