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 I'm goin' home, gonna
load my shotgun
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
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.
I'm
goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
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
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 I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun Gunpowder and lead!
He'll find out when I pull the
trigger!
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!
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, I'm only up when you're not
down. Just a small town
boy and girl I'm only up when your'e not down. When I'm with anybody else it's so hard
to be myself. That I'm only up when
you're not down.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Only you can tell.
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.
