Author's Note: This was a long Act, but I finally decided to overcome my laziness and wrote it. Yay for me, I guess...Anyways hopefully you'll enjoy this, and write a review if you wish.
A bottle, half empty, laid still on the floor, Jethro was still sleeping soundly. After a while he woke up, he felt refreshed, possibly the best sleep he got since coming over to Canada. He got up and went over bathroom to wash his face, but he saw the broken glass still on the floor. He turned around and went to the kitchen sink instead; afterwards he decided to go over next door to see what's up. He went out and knocked on his neighbor's door. Leo opened the door.
"Oh, hey Jethro how's it going, man?" he asked
"Doin' good mate, mind if I come in?"
"Sure, but be little quiet, Aeris is still sleeping." Leo moved out of the doorway to let Jethro in, then carefully closed the door, "so what do you want to do?"
"How, bout a rematch on the Xbox, I think I got a hang of it." Jethro said, Leo smirked and motioned Jethro into the living room, there the two cats sat down and started up the Xbox, and began to play some Call of Duty. After five matches the results were same, Leo steam rolling over Jethro, however after each game the score difference was smaller between the two.
"Hey, at least you're getting better" Leo said, nudging Jethro .
"Yeah, I'm starting like this console thing" he replied, two chuckled a bit, and then became silent.
"Soooo, you want to go for another game?"
"Actually Leo, I need to tell ya somethin'." He put down the controller, and Leo followed suit, "in fact, I'm about to tell ya some real dark, and personal secrets."
"Really? Why?"
"Well, cause, ya see last night, Aeris came over to my place next door. She said she couldn't sleep cause of the murders, and you were sleepin' so she didn't want to disturb ya about that stuff. But really, I told her some stuff that I probably should've said earlier to ya guys." Jethro paused for a moment, "well ya see Leo, I have a terrible life, I've lost a lot of people I know, and love, I was hooked on drugs, and I was also a killa." Leo instantly gasped.
"You're a…killer?" he asked nervously as he began to slowly move away from him.
"Well, I'm not a crazed gunman, I'm an assassin, a hitmen, what eva ya want to call it."
"Really? Wooow, so how many people did you kill, what kind of gun did you use, do you have a serial number tattooed to back of your head?" he asked intriguingly. Jethro did not expect this reaction, but at the same time he kind of did.
"Uh, no offense, but you play too many video games mate." He said, Leo chuckled at his response.
"Yeah I know, I was just playing with you." Leo said, giving a whole hearted smile. Jethro smiled back at him, realizing that he was just trying to lighten the mood a bit.
"Well, in all seriousness I've actually killed about eleven people."
"Oh" Leo replied.
"Although, there's actually some things I didn't tell her, but I'll share with you. But ya keep it a secret alright?"
"You got my word buddy." Leo said raising his left hand, Jethro laughed a bit.
"Aight, well first of all, I've been having dreams or flashbacks or somethin' like that, of the darkest moments in my pasts. I don't know why or how, but it's been driving me nuts."
"Wow, that's sucks, I guess you can't stop that from happening."
"Well actually, I did, last night…" Jethro said hanging his head down in guilt.
"How?" Leo was confused, and cocked his head to one side.
"I relapsed last night, I sipped at least half of the bottle." He said, putting his hands on face, "but I neva felt so good, so refreshed, I mean when ya on a drug, ya can't really see ya dreams. But now I'm probably becomin' addicted to that stuff again…" he sighed and leaned back, he felt Leo's hand slap his arm.
"Hey, don't be like that, me and Aeris are here for you, alright?" Leo said grinning. Jethro gave a small smile back to Leo, then the two heard a yawn coming from the hallway, and out came Aeris, her fur was messy, "Morning sunshine" Leo said, Aeris look dazedly at him.
"Oh…good morning Leo, and…Jethro?" she perked up to see him there.
"Morning Aeris, looks like you just had dingo's breakfast"
"Huh? What's that?" she said, Jethro laughed a bit before speaking again.
"A yawn, a leak, and good look around." He said cheerfully, Leo laughed with him, however Aeris was not too amused, but still smiled at the joke.
"Well, you're awfully happy this morning, what's up?"
"Oh it's…nothin'" Jethro said
"Okay then, well I'm going to have a normal breakfast now." She said, and walked towards the kitchen, Jethro picked up his controller and shook it at Leo, and Leo nodded and picked up his controller and started a new round on the Xbox.
