Rogue and Thailia looked up from their food when they heard the loud knock on the front door. When Thailia looked at her sister she burst out laughing. Before both girls knew it they were both laughing.
"What did I tell you? I told you he'd be pissed," said Thailia.
"You better go answer it before he gets even more pissed."
"Me, why me?"
"I'm going up to my room. Try to buy me some time, okay," asked Rogue.
"Fine," said Thailia as Marie raced up the stairs. She rolled her eyes as she slowly walked to the door. Finally she looked through the hole. Yeah, it was most deffinitely Bobby.
"Who is it?"
"Open the fucking door."
Bobby went inside the minute the door opened.
"Where is Marie?"
"Sleeping."
"Oh, that's rich. Everything she did today was clearly done sleep walking. Fuck it, I'll go to her room and talk to her."
Thailia watched as he walked up the stairs to her room. This was without a doubt going to be interesting.
**********************
Bobby walked into her room to find her on the phone. She rolled her eyes as he walked in. He gave her a look that said 'OFF, NOW!' She sighed as she sat on her bed.
"I have to go, Alex. I'll be there tonight. Yes, I know. Oh, well, Bobby's here right now. He'll call you later. Yeah, I know. Bye," said Rogue as she hung up the phone.
"What? What is your problem? I could you hear you banging on the front door all the way from up here!"
"What the hell do you think you were doing earlier? What the hell is YOUR problem? Did you think that I wouldn't find out or something" asked Bobby.
"Oh, I was counting on the fact that you would find out. You took that piece of trash's side and acted like it didn't matter what I said. What the hell did you expect me to do, sit home and knit? No, I did what any reasonable girl would do. I handled it. You should be proud," said Rogue.
"I should be proud? What the duck are you on? Can you even hear yourself at the moment.
Do you even know how much damage controle I'll have to take care of tonight? Do you even have the slightest idea?
Could you have picked the worse people to fuck around with? Could you? And for God's sake she's my fucking sister. And Alex, well he's one of my fucking best friends!"
"Calm down, that's what makes it so fucking perfect. You're sister called me early this morning. She told me she was having problems with Silvia. I told her I knew she liked Alex and that I had a way for her to take Alex from Silivia so he could be with her.
She told me she was in whatever it was. So, don't blame it all on me. Blame it on the fact that they have been secretly into eachother and they couldn't act on it because she was your sister."
"Are you blaming this on me because there is no way in hell that you are going to turn this one around on me" said Bobby looking as if smoke were going to come out his ears.
"Well, it's certainly not my fault that you're so judgemental that you find something wrong with your sister hooking up with someone as nice as Alex. So, I called Alex and said that you said it was alright. And now everything is as it should be. There's no damage contole to be taken care of."
"I could kill you right now."
"You always say you could kill me but you won't. There is no point of being mad at me for being mad. You know what I did was fucking insane and awesome at the same time. Come on-"
He stared at her making her lose her words. She looked back at him and didn't dare to break the stare until he did. When he did she sighed.
"Are you going tonight," asked Bobby.
"Oh, hell yeah. I wouldn't miss it if the world were ending. It's really going to be something. Plus even more people found out you're home. EVERYONE will be there tonight, all your ex girlfriends who even hate to be around you. I wouldn't miss it if I were on my death bed."
"I guess I'll see you later."
"Let's hope you're not basing you're i.q on what you just said," said Rogue as if it were obvious.
He gave her a quick kiss before leaving. After he left Rogue sat on her bed. She honestly missed New York. She missed the school and her friends there. And she missed how Bobby acted when he didn't have his people to impress. She would've thought about all of this longer but then her cell rang.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, it's John but you already knew that. I can't believe what you did earlier. Have you talked to Bobby about it yet? I bet he's fucking pissed."
"Oh, he was. I think he still is a little, but right now I don't give a fuck if he's pissed or not. I did what I did and he can either get over it or not. It's his choice. Are you going tonight?"
"Ah hell yeah. Who wouldn't be? Silivia tried to take your place in your absence, looks like you've managed to completely knock her off her high horse. And the sad part is everyone will know it at her ex boyfriend's party, while his date happens to be the guy she wants to fuck's sister, who happens to be the leader. And if that's not bad enough it all happened because of his girlfriend."
"Kharma," smiled Rogue.
"Exactly. I also think the funny thing is Bobby is going to have to make it look like he is okay with it because you told Alex he was okay with it. And Bobby cares about you too much to have you seen as a liar."
"Yeah, right. He'll do it to save face. The only person who Bobby cares about is Bobby. And that's never going to change. Being here has proven that to me. Yeah, I'll go tonight and play my part, but there's only so much I can take. As amazing as it may really sound I'm only human."
"Talk to him."
"Talk to him? DO you hear yourself? Talking to someone and having them listen to you as well as to understand and to care would require a heart, something he doesn't have. I have to go. I'm tired."
"Bye."
"See ya," said Rogue as she hung up the phone.
********************
Bobby knocked on the Henderson's house. Alex answered on the first knock. He looked Bobby over almost cautiously, but as usual if Bobby didn't want you to know his feelings you didn't.
"Hey, man, I tried to call you earlier but your cell phone was turned off."
"Yeah, forgot to turn it on. Can I come in?"
"Sure," said Alex as if it were obvious. He took a seat on a couch as Alex handled him a smirnoff bottle. He felt better after the first sip.
"You and my sister?"
"Yeah," said Alex unable to lie to him.
"Interesting. Let me make one thing clear. You break your heart, I'll break your neck."
"Not gonna happen."
"For your sake more than for hers let's hope not."
"You gonna kick it here till the party tonight?"
"Naw, I gotta go. I have to talk to John about some shit. I'll stop in here sometime tonight, alright?"
"Yeah, later man," said Alex.
"Late," said Bobby as he closed the door behind him.
********************
John looked at Bobby. He didn't look too thrilled at the moment. Then again he could almost not blame him for it. He was too tense. He really needed to learned the meaning of the words "Chill out." He was sure they would do him alot of good.
"I spoke to Marie a little while ago. She's not too happy or thrilled with you at the moment," said John.
"It's nice to know that the feeling happens to be mutual. Seriously, what I want to know is what was the whole point. It's not as if Silivia's a threat to her," said Bobby.
"Maybe not from where you stand, but ofcourse to Marie she would be. Silivia is either gonna confront you or Marie tonight. For everyone's sake I hope it's you. Just act like it's no one's fault but her own."
"Well, actually it isn't anyone's fault but her own. But Marie had no right to push anything. She just should have been patient and allowed things to happen the way they would. I told her Silvia was no threat."
"Yeah, because YOU said it. How many of your ex girlfriends have you said that to and then the next day you sleep with them?"
"She's not like the others."
"Really? How?"
"It doesn't matter. The point is Silvia is not a threat to her."
"Yeah and she thought she was, so she was taking care of what she felt to be a problem. But she left the real part for you to do, taking care of Silvia verbally."
"That'll be interesting," said Bobby bitterly.
"Actually it will. So, Alex and Amy, huh? You know I always thought that they should hook up, thought they'd be good for eachother," said John.
"John, you're not helping the situation. Would you please shut the fuck up."
"Fine. I'm just calling it like I see it-"
"John!"
"Alright."
"I just came from Alex's and in more words or less sort of gave him my blessing. I basically told him if he made her unhappy I would break his neck."
"What a blessing. If Tim saif that to me I would be feel more scared than blessed. I would probably be so careful she would end up breaking up with me" said John sarcastically.
"You think so," asked Bobby with renewed interest.
"Unfortunately for you Alex and I are two different people. He's chill so he'll just continue doing what he's doing."
"I gotta go, I'll see you later."
"Alright," said John as he closed the door after Bobby left.
********************
When Bobby arrived to the party it was already in full swing. There were people everywhere. It was worse than the night before. The people the night before were smoking pot but now they were doing crack as well as other drugs.
He could sense that Marie was still pretty pissed at him. She had been lately. He could feel it. He just wondered when she would stop being pissed at him, if ever.
He had called to see if he could pick her up for the party but Thailia had said she drove herself. He looked in the corner to see Amy and Marie had clanked glasses before dunking their vodka. He rolled his eyes as Alex came up to her and she started smiling.
He watched as Marie went to the other side of the room where John was talking with Thailia and Jessica Johnson. He watched them as they all talked and laughed together. He was about to go over and join them but a not so pleasant voice called out to him.
"Bobby."
He turned around with a smirk on his face to see a pretty pissed Silvia. He felt the smirk almost drop from his face but he didn't allow it to. It would show his shock. No, he was always in controle and he would show Silivia that.
"What's your name again? I've seen you around or whatever it's Cindy right, no wait, Cynthia?"
"Silvia. And you knew that. You never forget a name," said Silvia coldly.
"Usually I don't but I did forget your name. Then again you probably get that quite often. Anyway, make it quick I have things to do tonight. What can I do for you," asked Bobby with disinterest.
"You can stay out of my business."
"Ah, what happened earlier in the mall. I can't help what goes on between Alex and my sister. I only have so much controle over them," said Bobby dryly.
"You know that's a fucking lie. If you didn't want it to happen it wouldn't have haeppened. It's all because of her," she pointed over to where Marie was talking to John and Jessica.
"Let me tell you osmething, I son't care what alex and my sister do. They decided ot hook up. Do you think I actually care? Do you think I gave a second thought to it, but when you bring MArie into it, that's another story.
Okay... My sister and friend hooked up because of her? Oh, how exactly do I put this.
You're insane. Marie really doesn't care what goes in their lives just as I don't care to hear anymore of this and if it's mentioned again to anyone in this room beside your blonde groupie- well, I don't need to say this, but we'll handle it if it ever gets to that point, which I'm sure it won't," said Bobby as he walked away from her, leaving her mouth hanging open.
He walked over to Marie who was unusually by herself. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered into her ear.
"Let's go."
"Let's not."
She pulled out of his embrace and smirked at him.
"Don't worry I'm not going to embaress you in front of all your people. I saw you talk to Silivia, I told you it wasn't even going to big deal."
"Why are you mad at me?"
"I'm not. My parents are coming home tommorow and then the day after I go back. So, enjoy the rest of your time here and have fun. I should get going."
"I'll take you."
"And leave all these people? Not a chance. Besides, I have my car here."
"And if Thailia stays sober like she is right now she can drive it home. I'm taking you home."
As He walked with her to his car he didn't miss the deep scowl on her face. It was suffice to say that she was less than thrilled with him at the moment.
*************
He pulled up into the Dancanto Driveway. He looked at her but for the first time she didn't look back at him, at least not for awhile.
"What's wrong," asked Bobby.
"I guess I'll see you back at school," said Rogue ignoring what he just said.
"I'll come by tommorow-"
"My parents hate you."
"Fine, then I'll take you to the airport or I'll meet you there to see you off," said Bobby.
"It's okay. You don't have to. In fact, I don't want you to. What happens? You graduate you go off to some big college, and it's like we were never together. Or does all that happen before you graduate?"
"Where the hell is all this coming from?"
"Seeing you the last few days here, seeing all your ex girlfriends. You never cared about all of them, any of them. So, why would you care about me? Why are you dating, so that hopefully one day I'll fuck you? If that's what you want what's wrong with any of those girls there? All of them would jump at it. You know they would, so why me, because I'm not willing to be your whore. And if not that, what really is the point?"
"What, since when can you talk? You've had lots of boyfriends that the minute you either sleep with them or they tell you they love you it's over. So, you can't talk, and what, are you suddenly in love with me?" He took her silence as a gesture. "Hmm, see, no, I didn't think so either. So, you can't talk. And what is the point? How the fuck should I know? Why are you with me?"
"To figure you out Bobby, would take longer than I plan to give. To know what you are would take a life time. To care about you would take a part of my soul. To love you, would shatter my soul because you would break it. I'm leaving, when you come home you tell me what it all is. If we need to breakup because it's just not working like it's not right, now fine. I'll see you-"
"I'll walk you to the door."

"What did I tell you? I told you he'd be pissed," said Thailia.
"You better go answer it before he gets even more pissed."
"Me, why me?"
