Chapter Ten
Sunday Morning

Kenny and I were walking home. People were yelling at us because we were singing Paradise by the Dashboard Light at the top of our lungs. I was carrying my shoes and limping slightly.

Craig had looked a little annoyed that I had vomited at that crucial moment and Bebe, who was obviously still drunk (or at least I hoped so), laughed at me. Craig had rubbed my back while I was sick, and the whole time all I could think was 'Why did I have to say "chunder" at that moment?'

I think after Craig got over the initial shock he was ok, and Bebe had the smirk wiped off her face when she also vomited. It was about then Kenny desided it would be a good idea for us to head home.

We waved goodbye to our two friends and I gave Craig a hug. He squeezed me tight and I squeezed back. We didn't let go until I told him I felt sick again.

I'm not to sure exactly how we ended up singing, but we were singing...loundly... and horribly out of tune.

"Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Do you need me!?
Will you never leave me!?
Will you make me happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away, will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now,
before we go any further,
Fuck!" I tripped slightly then recovered and continued, "Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?"

I must say, I'm not normally the best singer in the world, so I imagine that alcohol did not in anyway improve my singing voice.

"Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
I'll give you an answer in the morning."

Kenny was really getting into it, it was quite amusing. He kept doing this sort of shimmy thing, and all these other random moves. I'm pretty sure at the time he thought he was pretty cool. All the time I thought he was pretty stupid looking.

"...I gotta know right now before we go any further, do you love me, will you love me forever?"

"Oh let me sleep on it."

"Will you love me forever?"

"Let me sleep on it."

"Will you love me... mah..."

"Blah." Kenny said doing an excessive hand gesture. We had both obviously become sick of the song, which was obviously a good idea because no doubt the neighbours were getting really annoyed with us.

A few minutes later we stumbled up to the door and I struggled to fit the key in the lock, missing several times. Kenny took the keys off me and had a turn but he missed the key-hole too. I finally managed to get the key in by making Kenny put a finger on either side of the hole. It was still a struggle, but we managed.

We stumbled in, both of us shushing each other between giggle and stumbling into furniture.. I couldn't be bothered going upstairs so Kenny and I both went to his room. I was thankful for the fact it had a double bed, although we didn't fully utilise this fact I discovered in the morning when I woke up.


I silently cursed the sunlight for being so bright and tried to shut it out. I felt like I had been run over by a ten thousand tonne truck and survived. My head was pounding and every inch of my body ached. I didn't want to move for fear of falling apart, or waking Kenny. It was then that I realised that Kenny was pressed up against my back and we were lying in the spooning position. He had an arm draped over me.

It was a difficult situation. If my mum walked in, it would be weird. If Kenny woke up it would be awkward. I desided the best thing to do was to go back to sleep and hope mum didn't come in. I checked the clock by the bed and saw it was only ten in the morning. I snuggled down into the pillow and closed my eyes again.

I was woken up again by Kenny whimpering in his sleep. I gave him a shove with my elbow and he stopped the noise. However, I felt really sick again. I quickly climbed out of the bed and ran to the bathroom down the hall and spewed up my guts... again. After a moment, when I was feeling a bit better I stood up and turned around. Mum was standing in the doorway looking at me with sympathetic eyes.

"I came in earlier and saw you and Kenny; I didn't want to wake you. Do you feel like eating anything?"

"Maybe some toast."

"Is Kenny awake?"

"Probably, I kind of raced out."

Then I realised what mum had said. She had seen me and Kenny spooning. I didn't want to tell her straight out that nothing was going on because that would sound like I was denying it. I would have to wait for the right moment. Just as I walked out of the bathroom Kenny raced down the hall and into the bathroom. Seconds later I heard him vomit as well.

"That's what you get for drinking." I heard my mum say. Maybe she wasn't as ignorant as she made herself out to be.


Kenny and I spent most of the day in our respective rooms, groaning in pain and wishing we could die. At about three in the afternoon Mum went to church, leaving us by ourselves again. About five minutes after she had left Kenny came up the stairs and jumped into bed next to me.

"Tracey!" He whined, snuggling into my back. "My tummy hurts."

"Mine too Kenny." I said in a similarly whiny voice.

We both just laid there for a moment. By that stage I wasn't in that much pain anymore, and I guessed Kenny wasn't really either, but we both seemed quite content to just lie there.

Suddenly the door bell rang and we both groaned. I pulled myself out of bed and went down the stairs. I opened the front door, mid yawn. I hadn't expected Bebe to be standing there beaming at me.

"Are you alright?" she said, giving me a look of concern. I probably looked like I had crawled out of bed.

"Um... I'm ok... but why are you looking so healthy?"

"Bicarb-soda and water...I swear by it..." she said, I nodded and we stood in silence. "So are you going to let me in?"

"Um yeah, sure. Come through here." I said leading her into the lounge room. She took a seat at one end of the lounge and I sat at the other end.

"It's about last night." She said without prompting.

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted to check that everything is alright between us still." She said. "Because neither of us really thought about it at the time I'm sure, and you nearly kissed Craig later, so I know you're into guys, and I don't really care either way."

"Bebe, you're babbling." I said "Slow down and explain exactly what you are talking about."

She looked at me with wide eyes.

"You don't know what I'm talking about?"

"There are a lot of bits last night that I don't really remember Bebe..."

"Well you were absolutely smashed." She conceded. "But I thought you would have remembered. Oh well, in that case it doesn't really matter, I don't want things to be awkward."

She stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go see Clyde and check everything is Ok with him."

"You're not going to tell me what you were talking about?"

"Can't do." She said "Anyway, before I leave you should know something else though."

"What?"

"I don't think Sally is quite as clueless as she was before."

"Really? What happened?"

"She nearly kissed one of the four guys."

"How the hell did she get four guys after her in the first place?"

"Well, she is a very nice girl, and not lacking in the looks department."

"So Bicarb-soda and water."

"Yep, you should give Kenny one too." She said with a wink before opening the front door.

"Huh? How did you know he was here?" I asked, holding the door open.

"He took you home last night and his shoes are outside the front door." She said with a shrug, "It was more a well educated guess."

"Oh,"

"Yeah, well. I guess I'll see you tomorrow at school." She said with a bit of a wave.

"Yeah, see you Bebe." I said, closing the door behind her and going into the kitchen. After a few minutes fishing around in the cupboard I found the Bicarbonate Soda and put a couple of teaspoons in two glasses, added water and stirred the cups. I drank one, pulling a face at the rather foul taste then took the other one upstairs to Kenny.

Kenny was flaked out on the bed, looking sick and bothered.

"Who was it?"

"Bebe."

"Oh... what is that?"

"Drink it, you'll feel better afterwards." I said handing him the drink. He drank the entire thing in one shot and pulled a face similar to the one I must have pulled moments before.

"That was disgusting." Kenny said "What was it?"

"Bicarb-Soda." I said.

I think it must have been working because I did feel a little bit better. I lay down next to Kenny and stared up at the ceiling.

"Do you know any girls who have four guys after them?" I asked Kenny.

"Nope." He said, "Who does?"

"I don't know, but apparently someone does." I said "Bebe won't tell me who."

"What did she tell you?" He asked rolling over onto his side and looking at me.

"Not much, basically that some girl was totally oblivious to these four guys who were all after her." I said rolling onto my side as well.

"She tell you anything about the guys or the girl?"

"She said that the girl was really nice and definitely not a bad-looker. Don't think she said anything about the guys though."

"Hm... well I don't know. Sorry."

We both lay there for a few more minutes.

"Hey Kenny?"

"Yeah?"

"Remember me and Bebe last night?"

"Oh that was hot." Kenny said rolling onto his back.

"What happened?"

"You... don't remember?"

"No..."

"Well, no big deal. You just kind of danced together... in a really intimate way."

"Intimate?" I said in a rather shocked voice.

"Yeah... like rubbing up against each other and..."

"Yes Kenny I know."

"I know..." he said with a sigh and a strange smile, "I just like spelling it out."

"Great." I said.

We both just lay there agin, this time Kenny had a self-satisfied look on his face and he kept sighing happily.

"I shouldn't have reminded you."

"No probably not."

"You can go back to your own room now."

He looked at me hurt and pouted. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Alright... let's watch a movie then."

"Alright... I'll pick." he said with a grin.

I think I liked having Kenny around the house.


That chapter turned out to be rather short and kind of just an in between on chapter nine and eleven. However, it did fill in one of the gaps from the party. So yeah, Review.

Until the next chapter!
