A scream ripple through the silent night air.
Two days ago, a boy in black have fallen on top of car from up above. He had landed head-first but didn't so much have a bump, bruise, or even a cut. The only thing he gotten is some amnesia. He doesn't talk or show any expressions besides confusion, blank, and curiousness.I have name Buddy and he really hates the have agree to help who Buddy is since he's a cop but we got nothing.
Of the past two days, many of my friends either adore him or frighten since he survive a fall like that. Leo have fell in love with him like he just got a little brother. Frank helps me out taking care of him. Hazel is always staring at Buddy like he's going to turn into a monster any second. Piper in another hand because of job being a designer (even how she dress like a boy), always wants to put a dress on Buddy. Reyna and Rachel are the ones that stops Piper in doing such things. Mrs. O'Leary loves Buddy the next day she got back from the vet.
She literally tackle the poor boy.
It's the third night that Buddy have been here and the third night he's been screaming in a row. Right now it's two in the morning and the screaming continues. I half-sleepily turn on the light of my lamp on my nightstand and sat up in bed. I rub the tiredness out of my eyes and the first thing I see is blue. Sometimes I forget that my bedroom walls are blue.
CRASH!
My head snap up. What was that?
KA-BLOOP! CRASH!
Some more screaming follow after through the air but a lot more louder. Shit! What's happening? Some more crashing came. "BARK! BARK! BA-BARK!" Damn, now Mrs. O'Leary is barking! What the fuck is going on?!
Another blast fill the air and I'm out of bed in a split second. I dash out my room, down the stairs. I turn my left to the kitchen and switch the lights on. Nothing. Leaving the light on in the kitchen, I ran across to the living room and turn on those lights. Nothing once more. I scratch the top of my head. I'm missing something. Something that's not right. Buddy's screaming and more crashes follows after but - screaming. Buddy is screaming!
"Percy! What's going on down there?!" Frank yells as he climbs down the stairs.
Stupid ADHD! Why didn't I check there in the first place! I ran out the living room to the guest room - just passing Frank at the foot of the stairs. Mrs. O'Leary stands in front of the door with her fur puff up and barking her head off. That's a lot of ruckus for a little boy to make and not in a good way. I barge in the room, switch on the lights and I knew I just spoke to soon.
The first thing I see is unbelievable that I have to blink a couple of times to make sure I'm not seeing things. Right there across from me where the closet use to be at is a pile of all the furniture in the room, making the rest of the room empty. How can a little boy do that? I look to my right and see a little boy hurdle in a corner screaming for deal life while holding something in his hand. Probably the last thing in the room that's not in the pile.
I half run to him. "Hey, hey," I say as I kneel down and pull him into my arms. "Shh, it's okay. You just have a bad dream. Just a bad dream." Was it really? His screaming went down to small little whimpers.
"Fuck, what happen?" Frank comment once he walk in the room.
I pull the object out of Buddy's left hand. "Don't worry about it. C'mon Buddy, let's go to my room. You can sleep with me." More whimpers escapes from him. "Its okay." I pick up Buddy in my arms and started to exit the room. I felt Buddy hurdle against my chest, trembling.
Frank stops me at the door. "What do we do with that?" Frank motion his head forward in front of him, not looking at me one bit.
I look behind me to the far corner where the furniture pile is located. "We'll talk about it in the morning but for now, take this." I give the object to Frank. "Put that on the small table by the front door."
Frank eyes widen. "Oh my god, this is-"
"Yes, I know. I don't even know how Buddy got that in the first place. Just take it." Frank let out a snort. "Frank!"
Frank raise up his free hand in surrender. "Okay, got it. Put. Bottle. Table. Goodnight." With that, we separated. Frank walking towards to front door and me to my room with a frighten boy in my arms and a dog at my heels.
"Here, I think this belongs to you two," I say as I hold the bottle, I have taken away from Buddy in the so fucking early in the morning, in front of Leo and Jason. Them two along with Grover have come over to visit. Leo face flush as he takes the bottle and holds it against he's chest.
"Wow," Grover says. "Y'all two do do it here. Percy, I own you ten bucks." Jason sigh in frustration.
"Percy! You and Grover bet?!" Leo shriek.
"Actually, I didn't believe in Percy when he told me." Grover comment with a sly smile as he switch clutches to lean on. "SO I bet him if he was telling the truth or not. He won."
Leo flush a deeper shade of red. Leo clutch harder on the bottle in his hands but unfortunately, the cap flew off and the liquid-solid substance spurt out, mostly landing on Leo's face. Jason face palm, Grover gape and I widen my eyes. While Leo is stuttering, trying to find any words to say. "I-I-I-I...n-no...th-t-the..." He gulps. He raise a hand to his face to his cheek and wipe off some of the transparent substance. "Oh. My. God."
He finally speaks!
"Dude, that looks so wrong," Grover comment.
Jason on the other hand, place a hand on Leo's left shoulder making the smaller one in the group look up to him. With a straight poker face in a serious tone, he says, "Leo, go to the bathroom and wash off. He's the top for the lube. There's still some left over." Leo takes the top out of Jason's hand then got a soft nudge, telling him to go wash up. When Leo disappear in the restroom, Jason turn to us. A slight pink tinge across his face. "We will never speak of this."
Grover gave a nervous chuckle. "Got it man. Never again."
I shook my head. "Grover, how 'bout you go join the others in the living room? I need to talk to Jason about some stuff." Grover look in the direction to the living room where Frank and Buddy is currently at.
"Really? I don't really favour Mrs. O'Leary that much," Grover complain. Both Jason and I turn to look in the living room. Frank sits on the couch talking on his phone, while Buddy is laying on the floor trying to pry a big, black collie (Mrs. O'Leary) off of him.
"Grover," Jason comes in, "Mrs. O'Leary is to busy with Buddy. Don't worry about it"
Grover sigh. "Fine, I'll go, but if that dog tackle me, I'll sue you Jackson." I laugh as he clutches his way in the living room.
"G-man! Mrs. O'Leary loves you! Don't be so tense!" I yell. Grover send the naughty finger to me and I couldn't help to laugh some more.
"Percy," Jason call. I turn to him, my smile flatten. "What do you to talk about?" I sigh. Jason is always so straight forward and very serious. No wonder why he became a cop.
"Yeah, let's go to the guest room first. I want to show you something, it'll explain." Jason raise an eyebrow but doesn't question it. I beckon him to follow me.
We past the bathroom next to the guest room where Jason stops. He pop his head in the room, "Leo, when you're done washing off, go join the others in the living room. I have some business with Percy. Okay?" Leo nodded back to him with a smile and went back splashing his face.
I stop Jason in front of the guest room door. "So why did you come and visit for?"
Jason sigh and ran a hand through his blond hair. "Really? To talk about Buddy and see what we can do to find out who he is. Why else?" Face palm. "Sometimes, Percy, you are just plain clueless." I groan as my hand wipe down my face. "And also, Leo wanted to see Buddy again."
I scowl. "What do you mean? You and Leo been coming here for the past two days since Buddy been here. Not to be mean."
Jason shrugs. "He likes Buddy."
"He doesn't talk nor show any emotions."
"Exactly, Leo wants to teach little Buddy things like a he's a toddler." Jason glance at the floor like it all of sudden it became interesting. A question pop in my head but Jason wave his hand as to say 'Lets move on to a different subject' in which he does. "What's in the room you want to show me?"
"Oh, yeah. Totally forgot." I gave out a cheeky smile as I turn the knob and swing the door open.
Jason walks in. "Shit! The fuck happen here?" He stare at the corner where the closet use to be seen that is now being cover up by a big pile of furniture. Jason walks closer to the pile with his right hand outreach to it but not daring to touch it. "Wow, even the whole bed is throw in it. What happen here exactly?" He turns back to me.
"Well, for the past three nights, Buddy have been screaming," I start explaining, "that also includes the day I brought him here. Frank and I would wake up in the middle of the night to see what's wrong. Nothing would be out of the ordinarily but we were always find Buddy in that corner screaming." Jason looks at the corner, opposite from the pile, where I point at. "I would end up taking him to my room to sleep with me."
Jason nod his head, signally he's all ears.
I ran a hand through my messy black hair as I continue to talk."Just in the middle of the night, there was screaming but then crashing follows after it and a lot from the matter of fact. Mrs. O'Leary started barking and I knew something was wrong. And being the idiot with the ADHD problem, I ran down stairs and check the kitchen and the living room before checking the screaming Buddy with the barking dog outside the room!" Jason snorted in which earn him a glare in return. "Anywhore," he raise a brow, "when I enter the room, that pile of furniture is the first thing I see and that Buddy is screaming in the usually corner clutching a bottle of lube for dear life. How the fuck did he even got that?!"
Jason clear his throat, telling me to get back on track.
I groan. "Frank and I decided to talk about it in the morning, just a few minutes before you three came over. We were actually debating to call you over but Hazel call in the middle of the discussion and luckily you came over." I clap my hands together and gave off a stupid smile. "Thanks."
Jason wave a hand to me. "Yeah, whatever, and Buddy did all of this?"
I shrug as my eyes swift to the pile. "I don't know. I know that he was alone at the time but I don't know if he did it. Like how the dresser and the bed and the t.v. got there make no sense what's so ever. How does a little boy do that?! Throw every heavy stuff in the corner?!" I wipe my hands down my face.
"Percy, have you taken your medication?" I shook my head in responds. "Go take it. I'm going to call Rachel and see what she can do. Now go." I left him pulling out his phone from his jacket. What does Rachel have to do with this?
I walk down the hallway and turn a left to the kitchen. My ADHD pills. I have put them in the kitchen in one of the top cabinets over the sink where the cups are at. For you know, to get a cup water easier. It sucks to have to take ADHD pills every morning from not getting distracted at every single little thing and to stay in focus. It's hard to stay in focus. Even dyslexia have its own advantages against me. I don't even know how I became a writer since each time I read a book, all the words swirl around but writing them is a piece of cake.
I don't understand.
Opening one of the top cabinets, I pull out the bottle of 250mg pills and a blue cup. Taking out two pills then put away the bottle. If I was to take another dose, I would be going to an overdose. I fill up the cup with water and drown the pills down my throat. Ugh, I hate taking medicine.
I turn around to start walking to the room while still drinking but almost choke. I pull the cup away from my mouth and started coughing. "The fuck, Buddy. Don't sneak up on me like that!" He shrug as if he's saying sorry but only look around the kitchen/dining room. I sigh as I put the cup on the counter. Buddy stood there, pulling his frizzy black hair as if he's trying to remember something. He probably is trying to.
Then a grumble like sound broke the silence between us. Buddy looks up to me and I couldn't help to smile. "You're hungry. No surprise since we've just woke up like half an hour ago." I ruffle his hair.
"There you are!" I look up over Buddy's head and see Leo walk up to us. Leo place a hand on Buddy's head and look down to him with a smile. "We didn't notice you left 'til Mrs. O'Leary tackle Grover off the couch." Leo laugh as he turn to me. "Mrs. O'Leary really love Grover, huh Perce?"
I nodded. "Yep. Try telling that to Grover." Leo laugh some more. "Hey, Leo, can you feed Buddy? I think he's hungry."
Leo nodded and gave off his usually big happy grin. "Sure thing, Perce. Alright little guy, more competition for me!" I roll my eyes. We've been having trouble feeding Leo some food. Or even water matter of fact. Just last night, Frank and I had spent a whole hour trying to feed a damn apple to him. And anyway, Leo can just feed the little rascal in less than thirty minutes.
Leo ran straight to the fridge and bang the door open, rumbling through it while muttering. I ruffle Buddy's hair, "Stay here with Leo and eat the food okay?" He didn't answer of course, only look at me before going back to look at Leo.
I let them be and left. I was about to turn to the hallway when someone grab me by the bicep. Yes, I said bicep. The hand force me around to face Frank. He gave a concern look to me.
"Hey, you okay?" he asks. "You didn't answer when I call you even though we're a couple a feet away. You have taken your pills, right?"
Then there's that weird feeling in the back of my head - like a buzzing sensation - but I ignore it. I smile and gave off a hearty laugh. "You're silly Frank. Of course I've taken my pills; just right actually. Why did you call me?"
He let go of my arm and sigh in relief. "That I'm going to go pick up Hazel."
I raise a brow. "For what?"
He shrug. "I don't know, maybe she what to be here." I open my mouth to say something but interrupt by a scream.
Both of us look in the living room to see Mrs. O'Leary licking Grover to death. Grover can scream like a girl at some times. Grover spotted us and started yelling for help like it was some type of life-or-death situation. We wave him off and went back to our conversation. Well, trying not to laugh in the middle of it when he's language became very colourful.
We smile like we were sharing an inside joke. "Then see you in a couple of hours when you get back. Be careful."
"I should be be telling you that, Perce." Then he left the house.
I turn back around and started walking to the room. Again. I enter the room with Jason just hanging up while he's typing on a laptop on the floor with his jacket and a black bag beside him. I walk up to him and sat beside him while scratching my head. "Where did that laptop came from?" I blurt out.
Jason looks at me. "With me." I raise a brow. "I came in your house with it, you didn't see?" I shook my head. "Well, of course. You didn't took your pills at the time so you didn't probably see it." I cross my arms as he went back typing.
"Right. What you doing with it anyway?"
"Work." I nudge him with my elbow. That only made him scrunch up his nose. "Police work. You're not getting anything out of me so quit it you nosy punk."
"Damn, don't have to be rude," I scoff. "And anyway, you shouldn't be bringing work home on your day-off. You know how Leo get when you do that."
"Yeah, that's why I brought it to your home." I scowl. Smart-ass. He close his laptop and groan. "Anyway, about Buddy, we can't do anything." I uncrossed my arms and unscowl myself. Serious mode. He looks at me. "We have no information. Something to help us out. A lead at less. But he have no name, birthday, social security, nothing. And about that," he look at the pile, "Rachel will come to check it out after she is done with her work so just leave it alone for the time being."
I frown. "Her work is me as being my editor/producer/whatever. What is she doing?" I pause. "Why is she needed in this?"
"First, reading your last two books you publish in the past year she wasn't here. And second, it's none of your business." I back off, getting complete silence from me. "Buddy, we can't do anything. We just got to let go 'til we find something. Which if we can." The last part barely a whisper. He grabs his laptop and stuff it in the bag.
I sigh, "Okay. Let's go see what the others are up to. There's nothing we can do." I got up and stride out of the room first.
I headed towards the kitchen first since I don't hear Grover screaming anymore. I stop under the arch doorway and observe the scene. Buddy and Leo are both sitting at the dining table while Leo is feeding Buddy some macaroni and cheese with Buddy petting Mrs. O'Leary next to him. There's no Grover. I look behind me to the living room to see it empty. Wonder where he went.
Laughter fill the room. I look back at the shorties. Leo wipe off some cheese off Buddy's cheek that seem a little off from his mouth. Leo laugh heartily, "Buddy, how in earth did you miss your mouth like that?" Buddy just started at him like Leo gone mad. I look straight at Leo, he has this some sort of glow on him. I look at Jason standing next to. I wonder if he sees it.
I open my mouth to ask but, "Leo! Where did Grover go?!"
Leo stab the spoon in the bowl, killing the mac and cheese. Leo lay back in the dining chair, cross his arms, and quirk an eyebrow. Sometimes I wonder he just wanna get kill. "Well, hello to you, too." Jason sigh. So romantic. "Grover left. Something about getting a phone call from Juniper."
"That's all?"
"Yeah. What else do you want me to say? That he was speaking gibberish when he left?"
"Actually, that does sound like Grover," I join, trying to lighten the mood. They both share a glance to me then went back bickering at each other. Sometimes I worry about them two when ever they start bickering. I clap my hands together to get their attention. "Who what do help hang up the Christmas decorations?" That made them stop.
Leo is the first one up with his hand in the air like a kindergarten, "I do Perce!"
"No," Jason says. "Percy, you need to do it on your own."
I scowl. "Well, if I did it on my own, I'll never get on it."
He scoff. "Fine, whatever."
"Yes!"
"Okay, hold on," Leo say, "let me finish fee-" Leo look in front of him on the empty table. "What happen to the food?"
"Buddy haves it," Jason inform. Both Leo and I look at the silencer who is petting Mrs. O'Leary. Not only that, Mrs. O'Leary is eating the mac and cheese. Leo almost scream his head off and I started laughing. "Okay, let's not leave food only with Buddy ever again."
It's four in the afternoon, we have been hanging the decoration and everyone is getting pissy. We have finish decorating the living room and now we are decorating the staircase. And by now Leo, Jason, and I are yelling at each other. Which always happen every year when ever I decorated my house. Usually with Frank though.
"Why did your mom gave you a lot of decoration?!" yell Jason.
"Because my mom knows I'm a Grinch and throws all this to me as soon I got my own house! Happy?!" I scream.
"No!" Leo shouted from the living room. "I'm not so Jason is not! Why are fuck the lights all tangle up like this?!"
"I don't know!" Jason respond. "Percy probably just dump them all in a box! And don't be fucking cursing!"
"Hey! It's not my fault I want the decoration off as soon its the twenty-sixth!" I yell.
"Don't be telling me want to do! I can curse all I fucking want!" Leo yell back.
"You instantly take them off at midnight! And no you can't! I have a say want you can say!"Jason respond.
"Well then, you can say goodbye to your sex life!" Leo come-back.
I was going to yell something back but Jason beat me. "Leo!" And also because Buddy walk up to me.
"What you got there?" I ask Buddy when he stood in front of me with something in his hand. He gave me an angel that takes place as the Christmas star on top of the tree that my mother gave me. She wore a beautiful white gown with a candle in both of her hands. A soft smile painted on her face with her eyes close like she's having a good dream. Her halo above her head with her white wings spread out. Her hair use to blonde but when I was little I color it with a brown marker, telling my mom that it'll help later on.
I didn't know what I meant and neither did Mom but we keep it. Never bother to get a new one and throw this one away. I could have done that a long time ago but she was too beautiful to do so. And she looks better with brown hair.
"Ow!" I look up to Jason who's rubbing a spot on his head. "The fuck did you throw at me!"
"A mistletoe! Now go hang it up at the front door!" Jason grumble under his breath as he pick up the mistletoe and stomp to the door.
I look back down to Buddy and smile. "You want to put the angel on top of the tree?" He nodded in respond in which really took me in surprise. He holds his hands towards the angel, I gave her back to him, and he ran off back in the living room. I couldn't help to smile.
"Dammit, Leo! Why can't you do it?!" Jason yell as he puts on his shoes and jacket.
" 'Cause you're taller than me! And you don't have to get on your tippy-toes like Percy!" Leo shouted.
Both Jason and I was about to yell back when the door flew open. Which is a really bad thing for Jason since he was standing in front of the door with his hand barely on the knob, slamming onto him. Jason scream out a curse and landed on the floor. "Shit, what did I hit?" the person said at the door. The door slowly open, making sure not to hit anyone else, revealing Grover. "Aw man, Jason are you okay?" Jason did this growl thing and look at Grover. "Bye!" Grover squeak, smile, and left the building.
I heard Leo laugh in the living room, possibly saw everything from his spot, and then I join the laughter.
"Percy, I'm home!" a yell came from the front door with a sound of jingling keys. Frank stood at the arch doorway and took in the decoration around him. "Auntie Sally really do know how to get on your nerve when Christmas is around."
I look around the room, taking in the decoration into me. With the stickers and the fake flowers and the stockings over the fireplace and those green, fake leafy, fuzzy things -those fucking green things- I just want to dump it in the toilet and let it flush away. (Even though it'll flood the toilet.) And the twine! What is twine?! All I want to do with it is floss my teeth! But absolutely I use it for popcorn to decorate the tree in which I'm doing right now. Wait -who is the fucking genius to decide that food should be on trees for and not to be eaten?! God dammit! The Christmas tree really doesn't bother me, it just the other decorations.
I heavily sigh as I angrily stab the needle through the popcorn. "Yeah, she loves to. Anyway I have to use all the decorations she gave me throughout the past years. Or I won't have any of that cake." I growl out the last part.
Frank laugh. "Yeah, like last year." He walk towards me, plop next to me on the couch, and grab the bowl of popcorn off the coffee table. "I love the lights outside, it looks like a hot, busty, blonde chick lives here," he pop a popcorn in his mouth.
I grab the bowl out of his hands and growl. "Don't be eating the popcorn or I'll stab you with this needle. Don't be saying shit about the lights either." He raise his hands up in surrender mode. I put the popcorn back on the table. "So what happen? I thought you said you would be back home with Hazel but you were gone for the whole afternoon. Its seven now so where did you go?" I stab another popcorn and slid it down the twine.
"Yeah, that, I told Hazel that it's not a good idea to go to my house since you will probably hang up the decoration and it'll end up you yelling." I look at him. "I told her that you get angry when you're hanging up Christmas decorations."
I went back to the popcorn. "More like pissy. Want to grab all the crap and shove it down in a wood chopper. Then watch it being destroyed." I evilly laugh as I stab another popcorn. Frank shook his head. "And yeah, that's a good idea to keep her away from this house today. Leo, Jason, and I were all yelling at each other and then Grover got tackle for accidentally hitting Jason with the front door. It was the funnest thing ever."
"Wow, really Percy?"
"Hey, it was funny!"
"Yeah, whatever. Can I ask question?"
"You already did but go ahead."
"Why does Buddy have the angel?" I look at the right of my legs to Buddy who sat there with his legs under the table and the angel in his hands looking at him.
I shrug. "I don't know. He found it around four and haven't given it up to us. The only time it wasn't in his hand was when he show it to me and I took it but I gave it back. I do know that he want to put it on top of the tree."
Frank raise a brow. "How do you know that?"
I smile. "Because I ask him!" This made him raise his other brow. "Look, watch. Hey, Buddy." Buddy looks at me with his brows furrow together when ever I call him. I lean towards him. "Do you want to put the angel on the tree?" His face soften and then nodded. I sat back and see Frank in awe. "See? Told you so."
"Wow, that's amazing. That's the first he respond to anything."
"And also, you're decorating the damn tree." He stare at me. "Then later you're cooking dinner since I'm bad at it."
"Okay." No argument! "You're helping Buddy put the angel on."
"Okay! Here's the popcorn. I'm done with it." I throw the popcorn chain at him. "No eating!"
"Got it. But I think Buddy is eating it." I look down.
"Buddy! Don't eat that! That part was on the floor! When did you know how to eat popcorn in the first place?!"
Frank started laughing but only earn a slap on the back of his head.
A/N: So many words, so long. This took more than a week to write. Urgh. I hope you like it but I don't know when Christmas is coming in this fanfic. I'll decide. I'll pick up the story to its climax (when ever that is) and I think that each chapter will be one full day of what Percy will be going through, something like that that will climb up on each. Just to wait and see how this go.
Hope you like it! Leave a comment/review. Bye! 'Til next time! x3
