「 ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG : VISITING 」

[JERSEYBOY]

JERSEY
BOY

A whirlwind of insults from a foreign tongue were hurled in his direction, and Jerseyboy couldn't help but be taken aback by it. They registered in his mind as Italian curse words, and he only knew a few people that would dare to yell at him in such a way - his own family. More specifically, his fireball of a niece. He furrowed his figurative brows at her and growled, "Ey, watch your damn mouth, will ya'?" Sheesh, where did she even get such a potty mouth from? Probably her granddad, or whoever the hell his step-father was to her. He certainly never considered him a real father. "'n calm down, alright? I'm not your personal babysitta'." Jersey twitched his tail. He really wasn't. He didn't like being responsible for children, not even his own niece. He could stand to watch her for a few hours, but for the rest of her life? No, it wasn't going to work that way.

"Besides, you gotta' learn how to take care a' yourself." Hell, he had been out on the streets around her age. She had survived this long without him, so why was she getting so fussy about him not being around? It wasn't like she cared about him or anything.
