Sunday

12:23pm

Philadelphia, PA

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and everyone, save for Mac, was present in the otherwise empty bar. Since Friday, things had gone back to normal. After all of the chaos that had transpired Friday morning, the rest of the weekend had been rather boring in comparison. Charlie and Dee had gone their separate ways after eating in the café and hadn't spoken of Calvin since. It was simply too painful for the both of them. Predictably, no one else had even cared about what had happened and certainly didn't ask them about it. Therefore, both of them stayed quiet, exchanging shifty glances with one another as if to confirm that they were both still shaken up by the experience.

Dee was feeling more conflicted than she ever had in her life. She couldn't remember a time where she was questioning just about every move she made and that's exactly what she found herself doing as of late. Charlie had actually been smart and helpful concerning the entire situation. Those were two words that Dee had never associated with him before and she didn't know what to make of it. She found herself wanting to hang out with Charlie more and more. She was actually enjoying herself in his company. It was the strangest thing she had ever experienced.

"I'm so bored," Charlie groaned as he slammed his forehead on top of the bar. Dee, sitting next to him, glanced over in alarm before rolling her eyes and setting her chin on her hand once more. There was the Charlie she knew and occasionally despised.

"I, too, am bored," Dennis announced, as if the same phrase coming out of his mouth was somehow different and more important than when Charlie said it.

"Well, aren't you two fascinating," Dee quipped sarcastically.

"As if your life is any more exciting," Dennis fired back.

Dee simply shrugged and continued staring at nothing. Her life, for once, had actually been fairly interesting the past few weeks. Not that Dennis needed to know that. Or would even care if he did know.

"You guys are not going to believe this! Oh man, you are not going to believe this," Mac yelled as he burst through the doorway and hurried over to them. "Ok, so you know that girl that Dennis has been stalking?"

"Stalking? That's a little harsh don't you think?" Dennis laughed lightly.

Everyone simply stared at him before Dee turned back to Mac. "Yeah. What about her?"

"She goes to the same church as me!" Mac smiled brightly.

"Oh shit! Mac, you can get closer to her for me. Yes, yes this is good. You can slowly smash her defenses to bits by telling her how great I am," Dennis said as he clapped Mac on the back. "Damn, this is the best news I've heard in a long time. I'm going to go get a coffee and, well, not come back to this piece of shit place." And with that Dennis was out the door before any of them could blink.

Dee looked at Mac to see him grinning rather evilly to himself. "What'd you do?" she asked him, knowing whatever it was could not be good.

"I banged that girl after church today," he said giddily.

"Holy shit! Dennis is gonna kill you," Charlie said, suddenly breaking out of his reverie to laugh at his friend's expense.

"I don't care. This is revenge. Remember a long time ago when that old guy died in here and Dennis stole that girl from me?"

"Oh yeah! You were so upset," Charlie said.

"Yeah, well now he's gonna be the one who's upset," Mac said, practically bouncing in his excitement. "I am going to crush all of his dreams slowly but surely. And it helps that that girl clearly prefers me already. I have a great plan that will hurt him the worst. We're going to need all day tomorrow to plan. Then on Tuesday, we strike."

Dee marveled for a second on how sadistic her friends were before shrugging and feeling herself get excited at the prospect of knocking Dennis off of his high horse. "Well, whatever you're planning, I want in," she said while Charlie nodded enthusiastically next to her.

"Alright so let's go over this plan one more time," Mac said as he attempted to pull his ridiculously tight leather pants even higher. "Dee. You and I are going to go and talk to the girl. Dennis will wait for our signal and then he'll come over from that creepy alley over there," he said as he pointed to their left.

They all raised their heads to see Dennis give them a thumbs up from the entrance to the alleyway. He was wearing a button up shirt with a suit jacket and appeared to be reflexively checking his reflection every few seconds.

"Once Dennis reaches us and begins talking to the girl we will signal Charlie. What're you gonna do then?" Mac asked as he pointed at Charlie.

"I'm going to dump trash over his head!" Charlie said excitedly.

"That's right. This will further his humiliation," Mac checked his phone. "Perfect. The girl just texted me. This is going to be so great! Let's go Dee."

Dee tugged self consciously on her extremely short skirt and attempted to pull her shirt a little higher. Mac had insisted on making her look as slutty as possible. He said that it would make Dennis even more uncomfortable and would make the girl want to have even less to do with him.

As she and Mac approached the door of the apartment building, the girl opened the door and stepped outside. She smiled slightly as she saw Mac but then her expression changed abruptly as she saw Dee standing next to him. "Hey Mac. Who's this?"

"Rebecca! Looking beautiful as always. This is Dennis' sister. You know, that creepy guy who keeps following you around."

The girl, Rebecca, looked even more put off as she crossed her arms and looked Dee up and down. "Oh. Well what is she doing here?"

"I'm standing right here you bitch! Don't pretend like I don't exist," Dee said. Who did this girl think she was to ignore her like that?

"Dee, remember what you're here for," Mac said through clenched teeth and a forced smile as the girl huffed and raised her eyebrows disdainfully at her.

He was right. Dee wanted Dennis humiliated as much as possible and for that to happen she had to let the little things go. "Well Rebecca, I just wanted to let you know that my brother is very much obsessed with you. He talks about you all the time and he watches this building all night. He also somehow got a piece of your hair and he carries it around with him in his wallet."

"What?" The girl said looking thoroughly disturbed. "That's it, I'm definitely calling the police."

"No, you don't have to do that," Mac said as he slid an arm around her. "You've got me here and I'll protect you."

"Oh no, there's my brother now! He must have followed us here!" Dee said, trying to act as surprised as possible as she pointed out Dennis.

This was Dennis' cue to walk over and he did, straightening his jacket and smoothing his hair as he came towards them. Rebecca looked absolutely terrified and clung onto Mac's arm tightly as he approached.

"Hello," Dennis said smoothly as he sidled up next to them. "Were you just talking about me?"

"You're such a creep! What are you even doing here? I thought I made it clear that you need to stay away from me," the girl said, her voice quivering slightly. Dee might have felt bad for her if she was so inclined. Luckily, she wasn't and she had to hold back a snicker as she watched Dennis' confident smile start to fade.

"Rebecca I don't mean you any harm! I just want to be able to pleasure you in ways that you can scarcely imagine. I'm trying to do you a favor. If anything, you should be groveling at my feet because of how grateful you are," Dennis said as he puffed out his chest in what Dee was sure he thought was an attractive stance.

The girl pulled herself up to her full height and stared Dennis straight in the eye. "Ok first of all, you aren't even that good looking so don't flatter yourself. Secondly, I. Don't. Want. To. Be. With. You. Do you get it now?" she said slowly and carefully.

Dee was rather impressed with how quickly Rebecca pulled herself together. She turned to look at Dennis who looked as though he was going to have a mental breakdown at any minute.

"But I don't understand. I want you. How could you not want me too?" he said, seemingly unable to grasp such a simple concept. Mac figured this was a good time to signal Charlie by tugging on his right ear.

With a loud scream, Charlie ran up behind them and Dee leapt out of the way as he overturned a trash can on top of Dennis' head. With that, Charlie took off down a nearby alley and left the four of them in his wake.

Dennis stood their comically, open mouthed, with an expression stuck between furious, confused, and upset. He had a banana peel stuck to his shoulder and other various pieces of trash clinging to the rest of his body. "My world has officially ended," he said in a high pitched voice that Dee had never heard him use before. "Why did Charlie do that? And Mac, I thought you were going to talk this girl into giving me a chance."

Rebecca, meanwhile, turned towards Mac and narrowed her eyes at him dangerously. "You know this piece of shit?" she accused while gesturing towards the mess that was Dennis. "You told him you would help him? So what, you sleeping with me was just a ploy the entire time?"

Dennis, if possible, looked even more flabbergasted. "You slept with her?" he shouted. "What the hell is wrong with you, man?"

Mac clicked his teeth together and shifted from foot to foot nervously as both Dennis and Rebecca stared at him angrily. "Well you see guys, this was all very complicated and - "

Before he could get another word out, Dennis leapt at him and tackled him to the ground while Rebecca all but ran back into her apartment building. "You all are freaks!" she screamed before slamming the door shut.

Dee began backing away as Mac and Dennis rolled around in garbage on the sidewalk yelling and hitting each other.

"Damn," said a voice behind her. "That took a dramatic turn."

She turned to see Charlie, watching as his two friends attacked each other in front of them. Suddenly, Dee burst into laughter. She couldn't contain herself any longer as she stood next to Charlie in her slutty outfit while she watched her brother and friend roll around like crazed animals on the ground. Charlie then started laughing with her and she had to grab on to his shoulder in order to prevent herself from falling over, she was laughing so hard.

"Charlie, do you want to go do something?" she asked him, feeling too happy for once to question her words.

Charlie's laughter died off into a sort of stunned silence. "Really? Like what?"

"I don't know. I was thinking we could go to dinner or something," Dee said.

Charlie's face split into a wide grin. "Yeah I would love to do that," he said.

Leaving Mac and Dennis behind, the two of them turned on their heels and began walking down the road. "Hey Dee, I have some good news," Charlie said.

"What's that?" she asked.

"Calvin called me earlier! He said that he and his Mom are going to be staying with family in New Jersey and he'll only be an hour or so away! That means there's hope that we'll be able to see him again," Charlie said excitedly.

"That's great, Charlie," Dee said. The crazy thing was, she really meant it. It seemed as though Calvin had really made her and Charlie into better people. They finally had someone outside of their insane group to care about. In fact, Calvin had made them care more about each other as well. He had really brought them closer together.

"Dee, you do remember what tonight is, don't you?" Charlie asked slyly.

She grinned to herself before answering. "Yes, believe it or not I finally remember that tonight's movie night."

"It's about damn time!" Charlie said as he threw his hands in the air in mock exasperation.

Dee started laughing again and began blushing as she thought about what could possibly happen this time. She felt a sort of nervous excitement bubble up inside her and this time, she didn't question it or try to repress it. She finally realized that if she and Charlie were going to continue down this weird road of theirs, it might not be so bad after all.
