Disclaimer: I do not own Stand By Me or anything about the hot movie or book! And no, I don't want to own it, it would take a lot of responsibility, but it would be cool to own Chris, Teddy, Gordie and Vern… Wow, that would be so hot.
Chapter 8: Revenge
Life, is like a movie, it has it's drama, romance, action, suspense and sometimes paranormal. But, no matter what, there will always be a protagonist(s), the antagonists and the certain unexpected twist in the tale…
A month has probably passed since Teddy and the other two boys met Jadey, Gordie's smart and talented little sister, probably a year younger than them and like her brother, she is also a bookworm and was very close to her late big brother.
Nothing has changed much with Jadey, she was still the smart girl in her batch, her relationship with Teddy was still the same, but everyday she talked to him it seemed like they were getting closer and closer to each other.
As of today, a Friday morning in Castle Rock 1959, Jadey Juniper Daina Lachance wakes up, excited for it was a Friday and she gets to rest after long days of school work.
She gets up, puts on her bunny slipper and walks to the bathroom still in her pajamas and starts to brush her teeth rapidly.
"What are you so excited about?" said Gordie, her older brother, as he also walks to the bathroom to clean his teeth
"It's a Friday, tomorrows a weekend and we get to rest!" Jadey murmured, then spitting out the toothpaste in her mouth.
"I know, but I think you're a little too hyper today. Oh yeah, and we need to buy some more dog food for Wesley and Clark, we ran out of it last night."
"Sure brother, how about after school, right after that we can drop by the tree house and play cards with the guys."
"Good, now, make it fast, we might be late for school. I'll let you bathe first because I know you have extra girly things to do after."
Gordie then leaves the bathroom and heads back to his room.
"Hey, I'm not that girly!"
Jadey sighs and gets in the shower.
After bathing, which took probably 10 minutes, she put on her robe and knocked on her brother's door.
"It's your turn! I only took 10 minutes in the bathroom."
"I knew you would make it faster, I only did that to tease you sister." Said Gordie, laughing as he opened the door and continued to his room while Jadey walks to her room.
"Good morning Clark." Jadey said as she saw her small golden retriever, Clark walking around her room, "You want to help me with my clothes?"
Jadey opened her closet doors gently, she starts wearing a light blue colored jumper dress with a white blouse as an undershirt, she let her long black hair flow down her shoulders, hairpins keeping her bangs from falling onto her eyes, he puppy, Clark then brings her a pair of blue ballet slippers (it was the shoes in the 50's).
"Thanks Clark, good boy."
Jadey then goes down and looks surprised when she walks in the dining area, not seeing her father on the table.
"Where's dad?" she asks
"Oh, he's in a business trip someplace far. He'll be gone for about a month or so." Her mother explained as she sat down on the chair, eating her breakfast.
"Really? Does that mean I can invite my friends over later?" asked Gordie who entered the area in a blue striped long- sleeved shirt(like his red one in the movie except it's blue), blue jeans and rubber shoes.
"Well, just for now. Don't let them destroy the house alright?"
"Thanks mom."
Gordie then sits down beside his sister as his mother started a conversation
"I should remind you two to be careful when you're walking down the streets. There's some gang named the Cobras that's doing weird business around town."
Gordie slightly reacts to the name by almost choking on his breakfast as his sister looks at him confused.
"I think Gordie and I should be going now. Bye mom, see you later."
"Yeah mom, see you later."
The two kisses their mom good- bye and they head out the door carrying their school bags.
"What is the Cobras brother?" Jadey asks on their way to school.
"It's this gang of bastards, one of them is Chris' older brother, Eyeball, and another one is Vern's big brother, Billy. They do odd things around here like drink all day and rape women and shit like that." Gordie explained
"How do you know them?"
"Well, remember the time I told mom and dad that I had a sleepover at Vern's last summer? Well, we didn't sleep at Vern's place, we went on a search for this kid, Rey Brower's dead body to maybe earn some money and fame, but when we got there were caught up with the Cobras and they also wanted the kid's dead body. In the end, we scared them of and no one got the body."
"Wow, next time you go on an adventure like that, bring me with you."
Gordie looks sideways at his sister and laughs
"I don't think you would've wanted to go with us. If you did, you would be exposed to leeches!"
"Leeches? There were leeches?"
"Yeah, we were taking a short cut to the place where the body was, and we come across this lake, we fell into it and Teddy started to be immature and almost drowned Vern in there, when we got out, we noticed there was something on his neck, obviously a leech, and all of us started stripping down our clothes except our underwear of course, but, well, there, we had leeches all over our backs!"
Gordie told the whole story to her on their way to school, except the part where he got leeches in his privates.
"Wow, nice story Gordie!"
They enter the school and stopped by Jadey's locker, meeting up with Jadey's three best friends, Sydney, Becky and Patricia.
"Hey, Jadey, how's it going?" said Patricia, whose hair was in a tight ponytail, wearing a dark blue dungaree (jeans in the 50's), a cream white blouse and a pair of black flat closed shoes.
"Yeah Juniper, why the smiley face?" followed Sydney, wearing a red peppermint top with a matching Revro pleated skirt, her long wavy hair tied up in a neat bun and a pair of white rubber shoes.
"Daina, just spit it out!" shouted Becky, who was wearing a blue bare -armed dress, a white ballet slippers and her short curly black hair supported by a matching blue ribbon.
"You three are too frantic these days! Are you all on your period or something?"
"No!" they all said, blushing.
"Jadey, there's a boy around, better not talk about that topic when a boy is around." Said Becky looking at Gordie who was spacing out a little.
"Yeah, we just drank a little too much coffee today." Explained Patricia.
"We plan to study all night tonight, these two want to make their marks higher so I'm giving them advance lessons. Want to help me later?" said Sydney, looking at Jadey.
"Sure, we can all stay at my place later, my dad's away to some trip for a month. Mom allowed Gordie and me to bring our friends over." She said, smiling at her friends.
"Good, I don't really like your dad. He makes me have nightmares! I mean, he never really talks to us much when we're around, as if, we're ghosts or something!" said Patricia, feeling scared.
"It's okay, I don't like my dad too. Now, if you three will excuse me, I'll accompany my big brother to his locker, let's go Gordie." Jadey said as se pulls her brother's hand and starts walking.
"We'll come with you." Said Sydney, following Jadey and Gordie.
"Hey Chris." Said Teddy, who was wearing light blue polo with a white undershirt and some black pants. (Like the one he wore in the Tree house part in the movie)
"Hi Teddy. Why the hell is your bag moving?" said Chris, looking strangely at Teddy's backpack.
"Well, the thing is –"
"Hi Teddy!" said Gordie and the other four girls, cutting in.
"Damn, you guys shouldn't be cutting in like that! Your high pitched voices make me deaf." Teddy complained, scratching his frizzy hair.
"Sorry, We're sort of used to it now…" said Jadey, apologizing.
"It's okay, but do any of you girls know how to hide a puppy?" asked Teddy, making the five girls tilt their heads in confusion.
"Why? Did you bring Choppers or something?" answered Becky, putting both of her hands on her waist.
"How did you know?" said Teddy, surprised that Becky got the right guess.
"Reall? No, I mean… Of course I got it right! It's called a girl's instinct." Becky replied.
"Wait, you're a girl?" said Chris, jokingly, making Becky angry.
"Don't worry, once I turn 13, you'll see how much of a girl I am." Said Becky, making her three girl friends giggle.
Suddenly, they all hear a barking noise coming from Teddy's bag.
"Whoa, you really did bring Choppers to school!" said Patricia, looking amazed… as always.
"Yeah," said Teddy, opening his bag and holding choppers in his hands, "It wouldn't leave me alone, so I brought it to school so it would stop bugging me."
"Aren't you going to get in trouble for this?" asked Romavail, who was aware of the school rules, but never seemed to care for it.
"Probably, but I can teach it to be quiet when I'm in class." Said Teddy, petting his puppy's head again.
"Just be careful, he might bite the teacher!" warned Gordie.
"And that's a bad thing?" said Teddy, making the whole group laugh.
"Actually, it's a good thing, it could be a sort of practice just in case something bad happens outside of school." Said Jadey.
All of them stare at Jadey
"Well, my mom said that the Cobras are running around in town, she said they were doing some weird stuff around Castle Rock." Jadey said, making the three boys remember their trip last summer.
"Man, Jadey's right, what if they came to seek revenge?" said Teddy, scaring the whole group.
Silence…
"Um, I think we should get to class now, I don't want to break my record for being early in class…" prattled Sydney, trying to change the subject
"Then let's scram! Later guys, see you at lunch." said Becky practically pulling her two friends to class.
"Damn Teddy, I think you freaked Jadey's friends out a little." Said Gordie
"I'm not surprised. But why Jadey's friends and not her?" asked Teddy
"C'mon, Jadey probably knows you a lot by now, she likes you man." Said Chris, patting Teddy's shoulder.
"Screw you guys! Let's just get to class before the janitor kicks us out of here again." Said Teddy, trying to hide his blushing face.
Lunchtime
"No way Patricia!" exclaimed the laughing Jadey
"Did you really see him?" said Becky, who was laughing with Sydney and Jadey
"Yeah, yeah, he was at the field since morning." Said Patricia, reassuring her friends
"What are you girls giggling about?" said Chris, getting a seat beside Becky
"Who was a the field since morning?" asked Teddy, sitting beside Jadey
"Will you two shut- up? You're acting like a bunch of gossiping old ladies." Said the irritated Gordie, taking his seat beside Sydney
"It's okay Gordie, it's just that Patricia spotted Vern in the field earlier, she said he was practicing for the football tryouts!" explained Sydney, making the whole group laugh as if there's no tomorrow.
"Hahaha! Vern on the football team? He can't even make it to first base in baseball!" said Teddy, banging the table.
"Well, he has a pretty good explanation on why he wants to be in the team," Said Patricia, "He said he was trying to impress this girl… He didn't tell me her name, but he said she was really pretty."
The whole group suddenly stopped laughing at what Patricia said
"Whoa, Vern has a crush?" asked the surprised Chris.
"Yeah, Are you sure you don't know who the girl is?" asked Gordie, trying not to laugh.
"I don't know, but in verbatim he said she was probably the most beautiful thing he's seen in the whole freaking world." Said Patricia.
"Wait, so he's probably seen Jadey then?" said Teddy, pointing at Jadey, who looked really confused.
"Huh? What do you mean when he said that he's seen Jadey?" asked Sydney.
"Well, Vern said he's seen the most beautiful thing in the world so since Jadey is…" Teddy looks away and blushes, "Oh, dammit never mind…"
The four girls start to giggle
"Well, Teddy, I'm pretty sure that Vern wasn't talking about me when he said about the most beautiful girl in the world, but thanks for the compliment…" said Jadey, blushing at Teddy.
After a few minutes, Vern enters the cafeteria heading to the table where his friends were
"Hey guys, sorry I was late, I was-"
"Practicing for the football tryouts?" the group cut in his sentence
"Yeah, sorry!" pleaded the hungry looking Vern
"Neh, it's alright Vern, we understand. You can make up for it by coming over to my house after school with the guys. My dad isn't home so mom allowed us to invite some friends." Said Goride, patting his friend's back
"But we have to stop by the pet store first to buy some dog food for Clark and Wesley." Said Jadey, remembering her errand
"Speaking about puppy's…" said Teddy, getting a chicken nugget from his plate, "Here's you lunch Choppers." He said, putting a handful of nuggets in his bag for his puppy to eat.
"Don't you bring any dog biscuits for Choppers to eat?" said Becky, looking at Choppers who was devouring the nuggets under the table.
"Well, I ran out this morning, so I'll get some on my way to Gordie's house." Teddy said, feeding more nuggets to his puppy.
Later after school
"Hey! Sydney, Becky, Patricia!" shouted Chris, spotting Jadey's best friends outside school
"Wait up you girls!" followed Vern, catching his breath as he ran to the girls
"Oh, hello boys, aren't you two supposed to be with Gordie and the others?" asked Becky
"Yeah, they wanted to drop by the pet store downtown first, we didn't want to go with them so… you understand what I'm saying here?" said Chris, running out of words to say
"Yeah, we do, you don't have to give yourself a brain hemorrhage." Said Patricia.
"Wait, you three are going to Gordie's place too right?" asked the nervous looking Vern
"Yes, yes we are." Answered Sydney
"If that's so, then I was wondering if we could come with you girls,…" said Vern, blushing as he stared at Patricia
"Sure Vern, we need you boys to accompany us since the gangs are hanging around." Said the polite looking Sydney
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let's damn go already!" said the bored Becky as she continued to walk angrily
Later, at the same time, by the pet store…
"Finally, we got to buy the dog food for our puppies." Said the relieved Jadey, carrying Choppers
"Yeah, they're not that heavy and they're pretty cheap too." Said Gordie; carrying the dog food they bought
"Thanks for buying this food for me guys, I can't believe I'm broke!" said Teddy, carrying his friends' bags
"Hm, I never knew that the pet store was close to this dark alley." Said Jadey, looking around, seeing all these dark corners
"Jadey, Sh… Someone's following us. I can feel it." Whispered Gordie, checking behind them to see who was there.
"Hey, Lachance, and you, the kid with the huge glasses! Remember me?" shouted a very familiar voice.
"Oh shit, it's Ace damn it!" said Teddy, walking faster in the opposite direction.
"Hey, stop 'em boys." Commanded Ace, the obvious leader as a bunch of bad- looking tall muscular men surrounded them.
"What do you want Ace?" asked the brave looking Gordie, spreading his arms, protecting his sister.
"We want revenge for what you did to us last summer. You pissed us off and since we were bored, we decided to just teach you a lesson." Said Ace, making an evil smile
"And maybe, when we're done with these two faggots, we could do a little business with their little girlfriend over there!" added Charlie, looking at Jadey with devilish eyes.
"There is no fucking way you're touching Jadey you son of a bitch!" demanded Teddy, feeling disgusted and outraged with what Charlie said.
"What did you say kid?" said Ace, approaching Teddy as he pointed his knife at Teddy's neck
Then suddenly, Choppers springs from Jadey's arms and bites Ace's leg
"Oh shit! Fuck you little mutt!" Ace swears
"Run! Run for your lives!" shouts Teddy, who started fleeing from the alley holding Jadey's hand and Jadey who as pulling Gordie's hand
When they were far enough they stopped and rested for a while by a tree
"Thank god we got away from those faggots…" said Jadey, sitting down by the tree
"Yeah… We got to save our stuff too!" said Gordie, sitting next to her
"Hey, Teddy. You alright?" said Jadey, looking at Teddy who was leaning on by the tree with his puppy
"I'm fine Jadey," replied Teddy, stroking Choppers' back, "I just never knew a dog would actually save my life!" he said, laughing his unique laugh.
Meanwhile…
Vern rubs his growling stomach
"Damn, I'm so hungry! Why does Gordie's house have to be so far?" he said, rubbing his stomach again
"Don't worry Vern, I bet we're going to be rewarded when we get there." Said Patricia, being optimistic
"Patricia's right. Mrs. Lachance cooks the best food in town." Said Sydney, patting Vern's shoulder
"Well, we won't be able to be rewarded with food if we don't get there! Where are we Chris? You sure this is the right way?" asked the irritated Becky
"Sorry, I haven't been to Gordie's house for a while now. Maybe I forgot the path there…" he said, looking disappointed
"I don't blame you Chambers, but what if we run into the Cobras or something?" said the worried looking Sydney
"Oh shit… Speak of the devil!" said Chris, looking scared as he saw his brother and other Cobra members exit from a nearby bar
"Oh look! It's my little brother!" said Eyeball, smirking at his brother
"Oh god, Billy's with them too…" whispered Vern, enough for the girls to hear
"Hey, my brother's there too Eyeball! Look!" said Billy, Vern's big brother, pointing at Vern, who looks like he's seen a monster
"Who are these guys, Sydney?" asked the clueless Patricia
"They're probably the Cobras…" whispered Sydney
"Hey, Chris, I hope you didn't forget what happened last summer, did you? 'Cause we want payback!" said Billy, clenching his fists.
"Yeah, and when we're done with you faggots, we can do a little something with these little girlfriends of yours!" added Eyeball, winking at Patricia
"You disgusting little mother fuckers!" shouted Becky, feeling angry and confident
"What did you call us, bitch?" said the angry looking Eyeball.
"She said nothing, um, whatever your name is! But let me just remind you that a gigantic bald eagle is right behind you and it really hungry!" said the now serious faced Sydney
"A what?" all the men say, looking behind them, seeing nothing, but still looking harder
"Let's scram!" shouted Patricia, already running to the next street
"Damn those Cobras, they're so damn stupid!" said Becky, running with the others as they finally reached it to Gordie's home.
END OF CHAPTER
My goodness, sorry for the late update! I was so busy with school and I was so caught up with helping my friend PDJ with her fan fiction that I forgot about mine. Forgive me! It was my birthday a few days ago, so I've been away too, buying all these new stuff, like my new laptop I'm using now. I'm now working on the next chapter, so, while I'm at it, please review, JUST DO IT!
