Friday, May 13th, 2013
It was Friday the thirteenth. May thirteenth, to be exact. I didn't think anything of it. I mean, since when does anything really happen?
Mom and Gazzy, my thirteen-year old brother, were in New York for his end of the year class trip. He was in eighth grade. Ah, eighth grade. Good times, good times.
Since most of my friends were busy and I was too lazy to contact anyone else, I set up for a Netflix movie marathon. I made popcorn, and settled under a blanket in our den. I put my annoyingly long brown hair back in a ponytail, and began on the first movie in the Lord of the Rings series.
The next morning, I woke up to an extremely annoying voice. "You're momma's calling back... For no good reason but just to chat... She'll waste your minutes talkin' 'bout the cat... Or how Dad has gotten fat," I answered the phone before it could continue.
"What?" I asked groggily.
"Morning to you too, Max. I was just calling to say we'll be coming home tomorrow. If you could maybe clean the house up before we get there...," my mom said.
"Oh. Sure," I replied. "Clean house."
"Yes. Te amo, mi hija."
"Yo tambien." With that, I hung up. I folded up the blanket, and went to go clean the rest of the house.
By the end of the day, I was bone tired and not in the mood to cook. Or get off my lazy ass and order some food. Or call Iggy. All of those involved moving away from my comfy position on the couch, underneath the blanket I had previously folded. I closed my eyes, and dozed off.
I was having an amazing dream- don't ask me how it was, I can tell how my dream was by the mood I'm in when I wake up, don't expect me to actually remember it- when some idiot rang the doorbell. Before I got up, I checked my phone for the time: 10:13 P.M. I didn't even get a half hour of sleep!
I grumpily stood up and opened the door. "What do you- what the hell are you doing here, tondo?" Seeing Fang hadn't made my mood improve, if you couldn't tell. If you really couldn't tell... Well, that's your problem, and I don't have time for your shit.
Fang grinned slightly, and showed me the packages in his arms. Mm... Chinese food. And I was hungry, and he was offering it for free, and it smelled so good...
"I brought Chinese food over."
"No shit, Sherlocks."
"I just want to explain," he said. "And I need something."
I nodded, and grabbed the Chinese food from him. I sprinted to the couch, and jumped over the back of it. "You going to leave yet?" I asked.
"No," Fang replied.
He sat down next to me, and I ate in silence.
"There's a reason behind every action. You know that, right?" Fang asked.
"No. Not at all. Everything magically happens and no one does anything! It must be the aliens," I replied.
"You're hilarious. But there's a reason I'm going to George Washington, and there's a reason why I came over tonight."
"To bring me food?" I guessed.
He laughed. "No. Well, yes and no. The reason I came over tonight... Well, I... Eh..."
I set my food down carefully. "What is it? You can tell me now, or..." I let that threat hang in the air. However threats 'hang' if they're not something, I have no clue.
"I need my stuff back."
My mouth dropped open. "You made it seem all suspenseful, and then you say that? Bullshit. There's something else you want. I know you too well to be caught up in your games, Fang."
Fang sighed, running his hands through his hair. "I need the necklace back, too."
My hands shook as I tried to unclasp it from my neck. My necklace, given to me by Fang for my thirteenth birthday.
"Happy birthday, Max," Fang said as I opened the small box.
"I said I didn't want anything," I said while smiling. After taking a look at it, I gasped and hugged him. "It's perfect."
What is it? Oops. Guess I forgot to tell you.
'It' was a small shark tooth, smaller than my thumb, on a thin silver chain.
Fang whispered in my ear, "As long as you have that, you'll know I will always be there for you."
A stupid tear made its way down my face as I handed the necklace over to him. "Happy?"
He shook his head. "Oh, for the love of Pete. You still want your shit? Get a box and bring it home yourself," I said. If that bastard expected me to do anything for him, then he was in for a rude awakening.
"All right." He went upstairs, and came down a few minutes later with his crap in his hands. "Got anything else to say?"
I stood up, throwing the blanket on the floor behind me.
"Yeah, I have something to say. And you're going to listen to it, or so help me God I will shove this food up your ass, around the corner, through your intestines, up an elevator, and out your nose. Got it?"
Fang nodded. "Yeah."
I cracked my knuckles. "Okay. I'm only going to say this once. Fang... I love you. No matter how much I may want to hate you, how violently mad I am at you, I can't stop. So please, just go."
Fang left without another word, without looking back once.
Not once.
