Chapter 4

…Johnny Steps. The old spider-head jerk that Tea beat.

"Fine," Atem said, annoyed by his opponent.

Johnny exchanged a glance with Tea. Well, he looked at her in lust and she glared. 

They switched places and now Johnny was going against Atem. The song came on and it was, Gunpowder and Lead.

County road 233... under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock, but little ol' me
I've got two miles till... he makes bail
And if I'm right, we're headed straight for hell

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Does that sound like a real man?
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of:
Gunpowder and lead!

Atem is in the lead, but Johnny looked like he wasn't even trying.


It's a half past ten... another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive... the gravel flies
But he don't know what's waiting here this time

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Does that sound like a real man?
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of:
Gunpowder and lead!

The song is almost over and Atem is in the lead. Johnny gave a thumbs up, making Atem suspicious.

His fist is big, but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger!

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
He wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Does that sound like a real man?
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of:
Gunpowder and lead, yeah, yeah!

Gunpowder and lead!

The song ended and everybody cheered. Of course, Atem won but Johnny was looking at a group of people that circled Tea. Atem followed his gaze just to see the group grabbing Tea and dragging her out. She was kicking like crazy, but her screams were silenced by one man's hand. Atem ran but was tripped by Johnny, who was smirking. He walked out and shoved Tea in the backseat of a car. Then went in the drivers seat and drove off. Unknown to him, Atem was following. Like he knew where Johnny was going.

-After the drive-

Johnny stopped at an abandoned warehouse. He went to the back seat and grabbed Tea. He dragged her in the warehouse. Unknown to him that Atem was watching from behind the car. He walked in to see what they were doing. He looked in the window to see them beating on Tea, Johnny staying a side smirking, but getting a few slaps in. Atem was furious, he crept in and went straight for Johnny. He jump and screamed, attacking Johnny, beating him to a pulp. ( YAY ATEM!)

Once Johnny was unconscious he shouted, "Anyone else wanna be like him!" The group ran screaming. Atem smirked at their fear of him. He went to Tea and picked her up where they dropped her. She was breathing, but he needed to get her to a hospital.

-At the Hospital-

"Atem?" asked Tea waking up from her deep slumber.

"Hey, how are you?" replied Atem, concern clear in his voice.

"Fine, I guess, just a few marks." Tea said happy to see him.

Atem crawled onto the bed and wrapped his arm around her, to let her fall asleep there, tired from the beating. Atem kissed the top of her head and fell asleep, too.

After about 3 days, Tea was allowed to leave the hospital, only with a broken arm and bruises.

Atem took her to get some Ice cream and to go to the park.

"Hey, Atem, do you think we'll stay like this? Together?" asked Tea, saddened by her own question.

"Of course, I would never leave you. You're my… Shining Angel!" Atem replied, seeing her perk up.

"Thanks, you know what?" asked Tea, happy this was coming out.

"What?" Atem questioned in his usual happy tone.

"I love you," Tea said kissing his cheek.

"Really, well then I have to say my feelings to…Of course I love you!" Atem said excited from what he was hearing. Tea looked up, only to be caught in his gaze. Atem loved looking in her eyes. They always made him think of a beautiful ocean. He leaned forward, brushing his lips against hers. Then he put his lips on her in a gentle, sweet kiss. Tea, loving the feeling of his lips against hers, kissed back willingly. Both of them were pouring all their love for each other in it. After pulling back happily, Tea wrapped her arms around his neck in a wonderful hug, never wanting to let go. Atem, wrapped his arms around her, lovingly.

"You know what?" Atem said, adoringly.

"What?" Tea replied, happy at his tone and expression.

"I never heard you sing," answered Atem.

"Well, I guess we'll have to fix that won't we," Tea said, getting ready to sing. She sang her most favorite song, I'm only me when I'm with you.

Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin' pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don't say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you.

I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

Just a small town boy and girl
livin' in a crazy world.
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
And I don't try to hide my tears.
The secrets are my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say you can't live without me.

I'm only up when your'e not down.
Don't wanna fly if your'e still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half im only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me when I'm with you.

When I'm with anybody else it's so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.

That I'm only up when you're not down.
Don't wanna fly if your'e still on the ground.
It's like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah

"Wow, you have a great voice," Atem complimented.

"Thanks," Tea replied, happily drifting away to sleep.

They sat there for a while until they both fell asleep, happily in each others arms.
