He didn't know what came over him. Nobody did. All that they knew was that Larry Romano was on his hands and knees, sobbing so loudly that the school could hear him. This wasn't like him at all.
The Bullworth Ball was a semi annual event that was pretty much "prom" for the students. The main hall was decked out with blue and gold ribbons, balloons and confetti everywhere while the students dressed up and hung around their dates. Besides hook-ups and pregnancies, nothing ever really happened at the ball. Until now.
The students and staff stared at the broken greaser with great awe. He didn't dress up, none of the greasers did. Also, they never did something like this. Until now, of course.
All Peanut wanted was to win the guy. But...he didn't. She did.....like always...and he was the last to know. But this time, Peanut had had enough.
Now, he was at Bullworth, looking like some kind of child. Nobody came to cheer him up, though. They didn't care. Except, shockingly, for the guy he loved to death.
Jerking away from his bitch of a girlfriend, Johnny Vincent rushed over to his nearly fallen friend. "Larry, what fuck has gotten into you?!". Peanut refused to speak to him; his heart was numb.
Johnny started to shake him hard. "Snap outta it, man! You're makin' yourself look like a baby!". Suddenly, out of nowhere, Peanut's cries turned into screams directed towards Johnny. "Don't touch me, don't touch me, DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!!!!!".
Johnny jerked upward in absolute shock. Peanut had never raised his voice at Johnny, let alone scream in his face. Johnny was completely frightened at this point. "La..Larry?...What's wrong with you.....?".
Peanut got to his feet and left the party as fast as he could. Johnny followed him, but surprisingly, he was gone. Johnny grabbed his bike and started to race around the school, hoping to find Peanut. After that failed, he tried the dirt path in the school.
Soon, he heard what sounded like soft, almost mute, singing. Peanut was singing. "Feelin' uninspired, think I'll start a fire...". Johnny's heart raced as he drove to the small beach area Bullworth had.
The sight that Johnny found was terrifying. "Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun......". Peanut was floating in the water, holding a revolver to his forehead. Johnny screamed for him not to.
Before Peanut could pull the trigger, Johnny leapt onto him as he finally made it to his friend. He grabbed the gun and threw it into the water. Johnny was sobbing so hard now that it echoed outward. Johnny grabbed his friend and got them back onto land.
Johnny wrapped his arms around his friend as tightly as he could. He began speaking while choking on his sobs. "P-pleeease.....nev-never do that again.....PLEASE!". Peanut couldn't make out the rest for it just sounded like Johnny was sobbing words into his cries.
The older boy held his friend, crying out of love and fear for him. ".....I'll take care of you, okay? Nobody's takin' you away from me, ya hear? You're all mine now....". Peanut rested his head asleep on Johnny's shoulder. The last words he was able to hear from his friend were the most beautiful.
"*sobs* I-I love you...Larry....p-please don't leave me...".
