CHAPTER EIGHT
God hates me!
I really believe he does...why would he sent her at my house?
So she can make me act like a crazy weirdo! That's why!
"JACK!"
"What?!"
"You were off for quite a time" Milton said as Jerry nodded.
"Oh...sorry...rough week?" I said being completely unsure if it was a good word to descibe my week.
"Elliot?" Jerry asked.
"Who else?" I said with a groan.
"What did she do again?" Kim said as she joined us at the dojo. "And where is she? Practise starts in like any minute" she added with a confused expression.
"She has a test and she needs to study..."I said.
"So why are you so mad with her again?" she asked again her facial expression remained untouched.
"Um..." I said as I started rubbing the back of my neck.
"Oh no!" Jerry exclaimed. "It's worse than I thought" Milton finished what Jerry wanted to say. I just looked at them confused but they remained silent.
"Oh! I get it!" Kim said. "You guys need some bro time" she said and left for the lockers room. When she was gone Jerry slapped my arm.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"You slept with her!" Jerry said seriously.
"What?! No! No! No! Not even if she was the last girl on the damn planet" I said angrily.
"Okay then what?" Milton asked.
"So...here's the thing...the whole prank thing..."
"Oh-oh..." Milton said.
"What did she do? I thought it was your turn..." Jerry said
"It is but...it wasn't a prank...I think...she couldn't do it on purpose...maybe...maybe she could..."
"What did she do?"
"Well...
I was at my room trying to do my homework when I heard Elliot's voice.
"Jack?" I sighed as I got out of the room and followed her voice.
"What?" I asked her when I was out of the bathroom door her head peeking out and her hair wet.
"Get me a towel, please?" she asked kindly.
"And why would I do that?"
"Because I asked you?"
"Okay..." I said as I turned around and grabbed a towel from the small wardrobe behind me. I turned back around and looked straight to Elliot's eyes.
"Come on" she said with no patience.
"I didn't get it...why should I?" I asked again as she narrowed her eyes at me. She closed the door and I couldn't help but smile in victory. Just then though the door swung open. I looked up and what I saw shocked me.
"Now funny story...the towel" Elliot said smiling evily. She just stood there...looking at me amused from the reaction I gave her...she was naked! I couldn't help but let my eyes wonder down to her body as she made no move to hide herself. I mean god help me! I gulped as I tossed her the towel. She quickly wrapped it around her small body and walked closer to where I was as I gulped again.
"Cold shower it is" she said smiling at me right before she went to her tip toes and lightly kissed my cheek...and just like that she turned around and silently walked into her room. Oh my god! This did not just happen!
"You're kidding!" Milton said in disbelief.
"I'm serious!" I said defending myself.
"You lucky bastard" Jerry said smiling at me.
"Lucky? You call this lucky?" I asked in disbelief and rage. How can anyone consider this lucky?
Well from one perpective you ARE lucky...
NO! Stop! Don't think like that!
"What did you do?" Milton asked being completely anable to register all this.
"Cold shower" I mumbled when Kim walked back in from the lockers room.
"Are you guys done?" she asked.
"Yup" I said and walked on the mats and started warming up.
"So was it that bad?" she asked and I could tell she was serious.
"Jerry thinks I'm lucky...I on the other hand think I'm fucked up!" I said truthfully.
"Litterally" Jerry mumbled, smiling.
"I don't get it...what did she do?" Kim asked innocently.
"He saw her naked" Jerry said as I glared at him.
"What?!" Kim asked in complet disbelief.
"I didin't do anything! She just stood there...naked" I said as images of Elliot's body flashed in my mind making me starting rubbing the back of me neck again.
"Oh boy! She ruined you!" Kim said smiling goofily the same way Jerry and Milton were.
"You guys stop smiling like that you're creepy!"
"I'm home" I shouted when I walked in the house.
"Who cares?" I heard Elliot say from the living room.
"Oh! It's you!" I said with venom in my voice.
"Miss me?" she said smiling. I finally looked up and met her dark blue orbs as she waited for my answer.
"I missed you more than anyone in my little pathetic life princess" I said with a sarcastic smile on.
"First: don't call me princess and second: they all miss me" she said.
"I don't find this really hard...if you walk around naked all the time" I said mocking her.
"Like you didn't enjoy it" Elliot said right before she winked at me and went upstairs leaving me standing at the hall on my own.
"Mum and dad had to be the good friends and agree on having Elliot here! How kind! they probably hate me..."
"I heard that!" Elliot yelled from upstairs.
"Good!" I yelled back.
Again...why god? Why?
"So...how was your week?" mum asked me and Elliot. She's been working non-stop for the past whole week and wanted to catch up...at least that's what she said...
"Fine" me and Elliot said in one voice. Imediately I looked at her and she looked at me, her eyes narrowed probably exactly like mine were...
"Stop saying what I'm saying!" I said.
"You said what I said!" Elliot said in a matter of fact tone.
"Ugh. Dear GOD! Can't you let one word slip out?" I asked irritated.
"Apparently not" she said her british accent making it really hard for me to compose myself.
"Are you two still mad at each other?" dad asked curiously.
"Yes" we said together eyes still narrowed.
"Same old, same old" dad muttered with a sad hint in his voice. I just ignored it...
"So what you're saying is that Magnisioum has 12 protons and 12 electrons and 12 neutrons?" Jerry asked with a puzzled expression...an expression he had on for the past half an hour that Milton was trying to help him with homework. Me and Kim were just sitting and watching Milton being completely furious because Jerry couldn't understand the most simple thing about chemistry.
"What is that you don't understand? 12 each! EACH!" Milton said in an loud sigh as me and Kim chuckled.
"But-"
"No buts...I give up..." Milton said and I heard Kim mumble "It was about time". Just then my door bust open with Elliot standing there being completely furious.
"Oh hey Elliot! How are you this fine Saturday morning?" I asked her playing the innocent.
"What happened to you?" Kim asked with widened eyes. You're right I forgot! Elliot was furious because she was covered with pink paint...Ooops? NOT!
"You find this funny?" she asked as rage take over her but all I could do was chuckle.
"It's funny to me" I said repeating what she had said when she dropped me a whole bucket filled with water.
"Ugh! You. Are. Such...a...fucking idiot!" she exclaimed angrily.
"Why thank you sweetheart! The feelings are mutual!" I said looking at the paint that was now dripping from her hair to her clothes making them stick to her body. An image of Elliot's naked body passed my mind and I couldn't help but feel nervous.
"You know what? That's it! I'm done! You won. I give up..." she said calmly right before she turned around and walked out of my room...a couple of minutes later I heard the bathroom door shut closed and I turned my attention back to my book.
"Dude..."Jerry trailed. I looked up.
"That was sick!" he said smiling right before he started laughing hesterically. Milton started laughing too. Only Kim tried to hold back her laughter as she got up and said that she was going to help her take the paint out.
When we finally managed to finish homework we went downstairs and met Kim and Elliot who were talking about something serious since they were both really serious and when we walked in they imediately stopped talking about whatever they were talking. Elliot mattered a small thanks to Kim and got up.
"We ordered pizza, are you guys staying over?" Elliot asked looking directly towards Jerry and Milton completely ignoring my existance.
"Yeah I'm in" Jerry said as he plopped himself next to Kim smiling at her.
"Um...I don't know..." Milton said. Elliot rolled her eyes as she dug her hand into her back pocket.
"Here. Use my phone. Tell her to come" Elliot easily let out.
"Tell who?" I asked completely clueless.
"Thanks Elliot" Milton said with a sincere smile.
"Well I always enjoy a little romance" she said smiling sweetly at him...something that surprised me since I've never seen her smile...only when she was drunk...she usually smirked...evily...and I was extremely surprised because she could actually be sweet.
"Let's play a game!" Jerry said exited.
"What game?" Kim asked
"Never have I ever" Jerry said.
"Hell yeah! I'm in!" Elliot exclaimed.
"So we're gonna get drunk again..." I mumbled.
"When you're drunk you're less grumpy and whiny and annoying and disturbing...-"
"Okay I get it"
After pizza came a girl from my science class knocked our door...
"Um Hi...Julie right?" I asked as she nodded her head shyly. Just then Elliot came to the door and hip bumped me so I'll get out of the door. She shot Julie a smile as she grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the house. Julie walked further in when I stopped Elliot.
"What are you doing?" I asked suspiciously.
"Milton is into her and I told him to invite him" she said in a duh tone.
"So Julie we were about to eat and then play 'never have I ever'...wanna play?" Elliot asked a hint of excitment in her eyes.
"Um will you play?" she asked her.
"Of course" Elliot said.
"Um...okay. But be gentle with me...I'm not used to this" she said shyly as she sat next to Milton her cheeks a deep shade of pink. That was kinda cute because he was blushing too and they weren't even looking at each other. Elliot passed the plates and we just ate all together babbling about school but I couldn't take my eyes from her.
She was smiling and laughing but it seemed fake...just a show...a mask...something to distract us from her sad side that was still lingering in her eyes. She was talking to us and pretended to have fun while her eyes completely gave her away...she was thinking about something else...
Someone else?
Doesn't matter...
"Never have I ever...stolen something" Kim mattered. Me and Jerry looked at each other as we both drunk from our cups.
"No way" Elliot said in disbelief...smiling and laughing...one word:Drunk!
"Well...we were seven and we were at the groceries store and we took some candy...we left and forgot to pay..."Jerry explained. I laughed at the reminder of that day...
"Yeah...I had to hold his hand all night because he was feeling guilty" I said through my laughs.
"So not true" Jerry said glaring at me making me laugh more.
"Oh sooo true" I said still laughing.
"My turn" Jerry said.
"Never have I ever...fell in love with someone" the minute these words left his mouth Elliot took her cup to her hands and gulped all the liquor.
"His name was Blaze" she said leaving no room for questioning.
Was? So she isn't still in love with him...
"Okay me!" Julie shyly smiled. We all nodded for her to continue.
"Never have I ever...um...Oh I know! Never have I ever had sex" she said. I gulped. Great! I took my cup and drank the liquor the same time Elliot did.
"So you want name or number?" Elliot asked being completely serious after the previous question.
"Just say number" Jerry said excited.
"Um...3? I think..." Elliot said scruthing her head.
"Okay you!" Jerry said.
"I don't know...4? 5 maybe...I'm not sure..."
"Dude! and you never said a word" Jerry said as Elliot laughed at what he said.
"What did you expect him to say to you?" she asked.
"Exactly...this would be little bit akward...since it didn't mean much..." I said the last caming out as a whisper which I'm pretty sure Elliot heard since her head snapped to my direction.
"Okay! Let's move on. Never have I ever..."
"Buy guys" I said as I closed the door. They helped to clean the house and let's just say that when mum walked in and saw us pretty much all wasted she was furious. I saw her taking the last cup to the kitchen while glancing at a sleeping Elliot. I walked back to the living room and mum came back in.
"What did I say about responcibility Jack?" she asked calmly and quietly. Not good. At least when she yells at you, you know that at one point it's going to end...now...you have no idea when she will start yelling and snapping at you...which is even more scary.
"That I should be twice responsible?"
"Yes and you weren't even for yourself."
"Mum we were home...and we're teens in the fucking America! What did you expect?"
"Launguage" she said sternly.
"Sorry" I mumbled.
"Can you take her to her room?" she said her attention fixed back to Elliot.
"Sure"
"Not If you're dizzy I don't want you both falling from the stairs"
"No I'm okay" she nodded and went back to the kitchen. I went next to Elliot and slipped my arm under her knees and the other one at her waist and lifted her up. She snuggled closer to me and sighed as I froze for a moment...I looked down at her sleeping face and I couldn't help but smile...slight...but still...smile.
I felt my mum's eyes on me so I tore my eyes from Elliot and started walking to her room. I lightly placed her to her bed and pulled the covers around her body...no images this time...thank God! I was about to walk out of her room when Elliot's hand grabbed mine. I looked at her and saw her eyes wide open.
"Wait..."
"What is it?" I asked as I sat at the edge of her bed. She simply looked at me right before she threw her arms around my neck...hugging me tightly.
"I get it" she simply.
"You get what?" I asked.
"The majority of them didn't mean much to me either" she said looking at her hands, playing with her fingers.
"It doesn't matter...they didn't matter..."
"I don't judge you right now...I understand you" she said locking my eyes with hers.
"You were telling the truth about that Blaze guy?" I asked her. She ripped her eyes from mine as she mumbled "I don't want to talk about it"
"There are a lot of thinks that you don't want to talk about..." she looked at me again with a pained expression. "...I'll be waiting." I easily let out without reconsidering my words.
"No you won't" she simply stated. "I'll tell you what's going to happen...You're going to wait...until I'll push you away...completely...and you'll lose your interest...like everybody else..."
"You don't know that" I said seriously.
"I know for sure that I'll push you away...I just don't know why I haven't already..." she trailed off getting a bit lost in her own thoughts.
"Goodnight Elliot" I said as I got up.
"Goodnight" she mambled back.
"Just so you know...people lost interest in you because you didn't give them a chance...keep this in your mind..." and I closed her door and went to my room.
