I'm getting faster again. :)
AN: This is in fact a sequel sooo go back and read Confusion Confrontation and Death to get caught up in this completely and utterly fantastic yet absurd alternate universe filled with never ending questions and insights.
Last we heard Jess was face down on his bathroom floor in total blackness completely confused… almost as confused as you as a reader.
Chapter 1 Bad Night
"Hey!" It's urgent but far away.
Some time had passed but no one knows for sure how long.
"Jess?"
Jess stirred hearing a voice off in the distance. It was soft and feminine which led him out of the darkness.
He felt the floor, cooling his warm body off.
His head pounded.
He remembers the buzzing first because he notes that he cannot hear it any longer.
The voice is stronger now and suddenly he doesn't want to face it.
"Yo, why are you on the floor?" Someone asks from the direction of his bathroom window.
He turned onto his back and looked at the blond with her head pressing against the screen.
"Why are you in my bathroom window?" He asked harshly but in his mind this is the last thing he needs. Shane bothering him.
Shane.
He sees flashes of her body contorted over her own chain link fence. He remembers seeing her mother screaming something horrible and Shane's bleach blonde hair coated in her own blood.
But here she was, with her pale face pressed obnoxiously against his screen.
"I was getting ready for school and thought I'd check to see if you were busy. Instead you were face down on your bathroom floor. Sometimes you can act like such a freak." She spit out the words but he could tell she was trying to be a bitch to him.
That is what they did.
She was a bitch.
He was an asshole.
That was enough until he saw her dead.
"What time is it?" He asked finally getting up and going to wash his face.
"7:40" She said taking out her cell phone to check the time. "Which means if I walk I'm going to most likely be late… So you should drive"
Usually here is where he would tell her to go fuck herself or he may fuck her himself. Nether idea appealed to him though so he sort of nodded his head and said "I'll meet you out by my car"
She seems surprised but doesn't question it and drops out of sight of the window.
Jess turns once more and looks in his mirror.
His chest is fine.
Nothing appears to be wrong.
He casually walks back to his room completely ignoring Liz as she tries to talk to him.
"Baby, why were you.."
He shuts his door and begins to change for school. Liz is only going to make this worse.
At the last second he reaches into his pillow and pulls out a few pills in a clear baggy.
He pulls it up his own sleeve, and hooks his keys onto his belt loop.
He's outside by his car faster than he thought he could and finds Shane already in the passenger seat with her bare feet planted on his dashboard.
Her red toe nails sparkles a little as she seems to be lost in thought.
'what thought' his regular voice sounds in his head. He doesnt say it though.
He drops into his seat with a thud and doesn't even acknowledge her being there right next to him.
As he starts the car and the radio plays whatever song.
Shane turns it up a little and bounces in the seat like she would do best.
He drives the whole way never even looking at his passenger.
He stops at an intersection and observes the stop sign.
"We gonna sit here all day?" Shane asks harshly but her tone is lighter. She's almost kidding. She almost cares.
He turns finally towards her and doesn't hide the fact that he basically checks her out and pulls out the baggy from his sleeve like a magic trick.
"You're an idiot" She says playfully
"I thought I was a freak" He states back as he proceeds to pop two of the pills into his mouth and swallow.
"Yah that too" She says distracted turning her face back toward her bare toes.
"I just had a really bad night" He tries to explain but stops talking because there she is.
He spies Rory and Lane walking playfully to school.
His hand turns down the radio to a point where it cannot be heard at all and he catches the end of Rory and Lanes conversation having something to do with Dave.
Dave.
Considering it was a dream, he really remembers a lot of it.
Which is weird right?
Dave and his tight shirt.
Dave and Lane.
Dave dying slowly.
He's takes a deep breath and hopes he will start feeling numb soon.
"What's wrong Jess" Shane asks looking at him nervously.
"Bad night" He dismisses and finally continues his journey to school leaving the blond to stare at him more with a blank expression
$$#&#&$&$&
He got to school and was in the process of walking to homeroom when the buzzing started again.
He recognizes it right away and covers his face with his hands trying to stop the pain that is building in his skull.
His stomach turns a few times and he realizes he needs to get to a restroom asap.
He sprints in the direction of the nearest men's room but is halted by Shane's hand on his shoulder.
"Babe, need any help"
His stomach twisted up and he almost let himself throw up all over her but held back and turned into the nearest ladies room instead.
He locked himself in a stall and proceeded to heave into the bowl.
Nothing came but his constant dry heaving made him feel ditzy. The pills must have started to work because everything slowly bled away.
He was so busy riding his high that he nearly missed when someone ran into the bathroom and proceeded to make the same exact dry heaving sounds as him.
Suddenly theres two people and one them has her voice.
Its Rory.
"You look cute today and he seemed worried about your sudden sprint in here! I'm sure everything is fine. You just need to breath, brush your teeth, and get back out their soldier!"
Due to his now tranquil high Jess couldn't stop himself from saying "Soldier?" outloud.
Instead of staying in his hiding place he came out to face his blue eyed beauty.
He saw her do it.
Her eyes flashed at him and took in his disshelved appearance. His now bloodshot eyes.
Jess knows this is where he ultimately insults Lane and puts her down but he refuses to say it.
He is so in shock.
Everything is the same as before.
"Jess just get out" Rory says leaning against the sink to let him by.
"Uh no" He says finally finding his voice again.
"Jess get out! You're just making things worse!"
"Make me" He says feeling the familiarity of the situation setting in.
"Excuse me" Rory is extremely confused now.
"I'm not leaving" He says lifting his arms slightly. Normally he may be freaking out but whatever no name pills he took are keeping his nerves tightly down.
"Well im not leaving" rory says up for an argument.
"If I leave now im just going to run into Dugrey and I don't feel like it." Jess says as if she knows exactly what hes talking about.
"But you feel like standing here arguing with me in the girls bathroom?!" Rory knows he has to be high considering his lack of logical thought.
"Yes" He answers truthfully expecting her to completely and utterly take that as his answer.
She wont though.
"What? Why? You know what don't answer that. Lane c'mon we're going to be late for class and I just know paris is looking for me" Rory says basically forcing Lane away from the stall and into the hallway leaving Jess standing there.
He made a conscience choice then to follow her.
This is going to end different.
This has to end different.
The end for now…
