Chapter 7: It a Family Affair
"There are times when we're dirt broke, hungry, and freezing and I ask myself.
'Why the hell am I still living here?'
And then you call and I remember."
-Rent said by Stephen (in reference to his parent's voicemail)
When I first woke up my mind was in a hazy the room was spinning and black dots filled my vision. I blinked several times before grounding and sitting up on my elbows looking around. I was in a white room with florescent lights that hurt my eyes. I plopped back down with a frustrated sigh. Where the hell am I? what happened…Oh right I had been confronting Phillip.
"Oh you're awake." Toni's voice came from somewhere to my left.
"What happened?" I asked still feeling a slight sting in my head and wishing the light didn't hurt so damn much.
"You fainted in the shower room on your way to PE," Toni explained "Phillip brought you here, it's the nurse's office" He said "also your last class is already over." He added last.
"Oh," I muttered dumbly "that was nice of him." I commented secretly damning Phillip to the 9th pit in hell for such a realistic lie.
"Yes it was." Toni muttered coolly.
The room went quieted before I asked "So why are you still here? Your class is over as well right?"
"I came to stay with you till you woke up."
"Ah Toni you didn't have to" I chuckled.
Toni's face got as he gave a soft smile and said "Of course I did silly, I love you."
I laughed whole-heartedly as I sat up and retrieved my glasses.
"I love you to man! Now shall we go find our friends at the candy shop—you and I both know they'll be there."
Toni had gone pail for a moment before he smiled sheepishly "Yes lets go find them." He said softly.
-Time skip-
When we reached the candy shop the sit I was met with was that of chaos. The girls where in one corner huddled together; Nate was chugging his sixth bottle of sodas; Shane and Luke where scheming off someone; everyone else was doing other things like homework and pandemonium ran wild.
I sat down next to Haden who was doing geography homework.
"How are you feeling?" he asked not looking up from his work.
"Alright I guess. So did you see what happened?"
Brown eyes looked over at me "No, I didn't see you until after army boy brought you out, nearly socked him." Haden huffed before turning back to his work. The last part of his comment made me smile. The thought of Haden punching Phillip—the thought of the lying ass bleeding from his nose—it was a nice thought.
"Don't look so happy people will know what you're thinking Spencer." Came the voice of Steven Windelberg AKA Mr. Sniffles; the Valid Victorian of our class and the worlds next Nostradamus. His ice blue hair was about to his ear lobe and his thick glasses. But regardless of his geekishness—is that a word?—I had always liked him; Steven was one of those people that no matter, what you could always rely on him.
"Sorry." I muttered still smiling as I pulled out my phone to check my messages. 'Only one and it's from Spirit?' I thought as I opened it and felt my stomach drop as I read.
'The Snake and the Dragon have returned.*—Spirit'
"Fuck." I muttered looking at my phone "I got to go. I'll see you guy's later." I yelled as I darted out the door of the candy shop.
I tried prolonging my return home for as long as I could but knew I would have to get there sometime. As I entered the drive the knot in my stomach seemed to tighten and the nausea increased as I walked to the house. By the time I was at the door I took a breath and entered to meet the strangers that where no doubt waiting for me.
Opening the door and walk to the living room to see three people waiting.
One was Spirit the others where well…a woman with perfect red hair that curled at the ends, her face was powdered with makeup and her ware a tight red top that accented her assets and a tight pencil like silk black skirt. The other was a man in a black suit; his hair was a midnight black that was slicked back with gel.
These were the Snake and the Dagon.
"Mother, Father your home early." I commented softly before sitting down next to my brother.
"Yes" the dragon huffed out in his booming god-like voice "well, this is just a temporary stop for me acutely your mother and I are headed for France tomorrow." He looked at us "Just wanted to see who you two where."
"Fine Father" Spirit and I chimed just as we had been told to 'after all you don't really care do you?' I though the last part bitterly but said nothing.
"So you'll never guess what happened the other day." The snake chimed in happily. "Do you remember Tina Island that snotty lady who thinks she's the best at modeling even though we all know I am." She spoke at rapid speed not waiting for a reply—really only wanting to hear her-self talk. "Well, she was voted out after she gained 10 pounds. Can you believe that pig! And yet she still thought she could be in the fashion world!" the snake giggled happily at the others misfortune her red lips and perfect teeth gleaming in the light.
"Oh I feel sorry for her." I commented softly the women of the 'fashion' world—if you can call looking like a holocaust survivor sexy—where often cruel to one another.
"Anyway we just wanted to say hi." The snake chirped as both stood up and headed to the door.
"Wont we see you tomorrow morning?" Spirit dared to ask.
"No. We're renting a hotel near the airport." the dragon answered briskly glaring daggers behind his wife and slammed the door shut.
I hate when they come home.
A/N: It done OTL god this chapter is short and sucks oh well it's done.
As for the little * if you didn't know the mom and dad are loosely based off my dad and step-mom (sad I know) and the being the are represented by (the Snake and Dragon) symbolize envy and Greed. Also they aren't really important but I thought it would be fun to torcher the boys.
So what have we learned from the dragon and the snake?
A) Don't be mean about others
B) Love your children
