Chapter 127

Jeremy abandons the task of helping me haul the last couch into the dumpster, rushing to where Stella sits. She kicks at him to stop as he secures an arm around neck and gives her a noogie. I roll my eyes at his antics. "No you didn't! I'm your Jea Bear!" He shouts. Stella manages to squirm from his grasp. "Yeah, well Jer Bear is about to get his ass beat if he touches me again!" Stella warns, a stern finger pointed in his direction. He holds his hand up in surrender. "Alright!" He agrees when Stella stomps her foot and leers close with raised fists. I shake my head as I lean against the old couch, arms crossed over my chest. Jeremy comes back over to help, but not without giving a last poke to Stella's side to set her off at him. He runs away from her screaming, arms failing in the air. "If I actually am Jesus, I am so not letting you be raptured Jeremy!" I scream after him. The only answer is scream of mercy.
