I got up off the floor and wiped off the tears and I just put on a stone-cold face as I washed my face with the kitchen sink. I remembered my school and what happened. The constant abuse, constant fighting, food that not even the rats would eat. I looked at what snacks I still didn't fill the bowl with and I kept on making the snacks for my brother's party. Suddenly I heard a rumbling from the outside and saw a truck pull up in the front.
"What the hell?" I said
I read the words on the side of the truck and it said Casagrande bodega. I walked to the kitchen door and I tried to open the door. I looked at the doorknob and realized.
"Oh, right," I said, "It's locked."
I unlocked the door and I opened it. I was greeted by Lori and Leni talking to each other. No doubt about me. Lincoln was getting his ass kicked by the demons in Doom Eternal. Lucy was watching Lincoln play and mocking him for not being able to kill the demons of hell. I walked to the door and heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door and I looked out into the day that was happening.
"Oh, Hi." A Hispanic teen said "You must be Mendez. My name is Bobby, Lori invited me over."
"Hi Bobby ints nice to me-" I said until Lori rushed in front of me
"OH, Boo Boo Bear," Lori said as she hugged Bobby
I watched as Lori smooched her boyfriend and hug them so I got up and walked over to the couch as I saw Lincoln still getting his ass kicked by an imp as he missed every shot from the super shotgun. I physically retracted for how bad he was playing.
"UGH!" Lincoln cried as he got mad "THIS GAME IS SO UNFAIR!"
"Haha," Lucy laughed "You can't kill the undead Lincoln, you can only join them."
Lincoln made eye contact with me and I looked at him back
"Let me see," I said
I grabbed the controller and went to the settings of it. I flicked to the difficulty and see that he was playing on 'I'm too young to die' aka the easiest setting. I laughed and Lincoln frowned at me and Lucy laughed with me.
"Here, let me show you how to kick demon butts," I said as I flipped the difficulty on ultra-violence aka the Hard difficulty
"I bet you can't do it either," Lucy said
"Ok, the first tip, NSM," I said
"NSM?" Lincoln questioned
"Never Stop Moving," I said
I began to switch weapons and I shot and imp and unloaded entire chaingun ammo into a baron of hell and jump up and down as I ran circles around it. Lucy watched as she saw me rip and tear the demons of the Doom Eternal. I hear more voices coming from the front door and I see a Hispanic girl walk past the TV and begin to speak.
"Hey Lame-o," she said, "Who's your friend?"
"Hey, Ronnie Anne," Lincoln said, "This is Mendez."
"Cool, what are ya pla-" Ronnie Anne stopped as she saw me chainsaw a Carcass in half "Jeeze Lincoln, this game is gory, even for me."
I ignored her as I kept watching me shooting holes into a Tyrant as blood splattered on the floor. I mashed the buttons on the Xbox controller as I kept on playing the videogame as Lincoln, Lucy, and Ronnie Anne watched. I paused the game and switched the difficulty to 'Hurt me plenty' aka normal difficulty. I turned to Lincoln and handed him the controller.
"Here, you try," I said "I think you learned enough."
Lincoln grasped the controller as he began to mash the buttons.
"Cacodemon to your left," I said
Lincoln turned and launched a grenade into its mouth as he shot an imp coming at him. He kept on playing as I kept on keeping him from getting his ass kicked but soon I heard a pair of footsteps come in. I looked to see a kid that was about as tall as Lola walk in and got on one knee in front of Lori. I paid no mind to it as I looked back at the screen.
"Lincoln, Baron at 6:00," I said as Lincoln spun around and pulled out the ballista and shot it to pieces
I suddenly heard a gasp and I look to my left to see the little kid looking at the screen in horror. I again, paid no attention to it until I heard the most Bitch move one can make.
"Mommy!" he screamed
I looked to my left and saw a woman walking towards the little kid and say "What's wrong honey!"
"They're playing rated M games and I don't like it. It's scaring me," he said
The woman looked at the screen and gasped as well. She looked at me then at Lincoln. I stared at her back then I saw her approach Lincoln. I tapped Lincoln on the shoulder and he paused the game.
"Hey, what's wron-" Lincoln said before he was cut off when the woman took the controller from his hands, "Hey!"
"Lincoln. Why are you playing such gory games." She said
"Tia Frida! Lincoln isn't your kid and that controller isn't your property" Ronnie Anne said
"Still, I read online on Facebook that these games cause violence. Who's ever's games are these, I'm getting rid of them." Frida said as she began to walk over to the pile of Xbox discs with the controller in hand "Believe me, once you get rid of them you will feel a lot better."
My eyes shot open and I dashed over to my console with the disks. I guarded the disks with my body. Frida tried to get around me but I grabbed the controller from her hands.
"Don't you dare touch my videogames, Lincoln and I were having fun but you had to mess it up you неудачный аборт человека! Можешь пойти поцеловать меня в задницу, если думаешь, что можешь все испортить!" I yelled at her
She just looked at me with complete shock. She just walked away while she kept that shocked look on her face.
I looked at the little boy and said "Если ты сделаешь это снова, я оторву тебе голову и сру тебе в шею"
The little boy whimpers and runs into the other room where his mom went. I stood there trying to calm down and turned to the couch to see Lucy, Ronnie Anne, and Lincoln with shocked faces and their mouths in a perfect O. I looked into the dining room and there was Leni, Lori mid-kiss with Bobby, Luan, Lynn mid-chew of a pizza, Lola dropping her make up kit, and my brother with shocked faces I walked back to the couch and handed Lincoln the controller as I sat back down to watch. Lincoln unpaused and I watched him kick ass until he was finished with another Tyrant. There was silence until Lucy spoke up.
"So… What the heck was that." Lucy said
"Russian is one of the most threatening sounding languages. I use it to call people nono words and sound terrifying at the same time." I responded, "Lincoln, there's a prowler to your left."
"Wow, I didn't know you were Russian," Lincoln said
"I'm not," I replied "But you learn a lot of things when you have a Russian roommate."
"Huh, neat," Ronnie Anne said "You're a Hispanic that lives in America that speaks Russian."
1 hour later
"OK PEOPLE!" My mom yelled from the dining room "TIME FOR PRESENTS AND CAKE!"
I do the final kill Lincoln in PvP on Halo 3 where I sniped Lincoln from over 200m away. I pause it and get up to go get cake and watch my brother open his presents. I grab my slice then lean in the corner of the room as I silently waited for the rest to get the cake. I took a bite and immediately I felt the taste of strawberries and kiwi's on my tongue. I look down and see it was a vanilla cake with fruits mixed in. I spat out the cake and looked to my left to see a trash can. I threw it in there before anyone saw me and crossed my arms.
"Can I open my presents now!" My brother whined
"Sure, let me get you the first one." My mom said as she walked over to the stack of presents.
She grabbed an envelope and walked back to Parker with his Naruto anime shirt on. He took the present into his hands and looked at the top left corner of the piece of paper. He read it as the DMV and a smile grew across his face. He ripped it open and saw his very own driver's license. He squealed with joy as he looked at his face on the card. He hugged mom and she pecked him on the cheek. He looked at the rest of the presents and walked over to them and opened them one by one. The last present was a huge box with a smaller present taped to it. I smirked because only I knew what was inside. Parker looked at the tag, and it said 'To Parker, From Your favorite pain in the ass'. He pulled the wrapping paper off and suddenly his face went blank from an expression suddenly he tore it all off and he picked up the PS5 and I saw a sparkle from his eyes.
"Here comes the waterworks," I said silently
"Who got this for me." He said as he shed a tear
There was silence in the room until I pulled myself off the wall and walked in front of him. I opened my arms and welcomed him into a hug and he walked over and hugged me as he began to cry into my shoulder. I patted him on the back as I felt his snot roll down my back. I pushed him off and nodded in a way a boss would tell his employee they were doing good.
"Thanks," He said in his tears
"You better be, I almost lost my arm getting it for you," I said as I pulled him into a noogie "Happy birthday you annoying potato."
1 hour later
It was now 8:00 pm and the party guests were starting to leave. The Casagrande's left about 10 minutes ago and the Louds helped clean up. I was helping by throwing away the trash until I saw Luan trying to fold the tables. I threw the rubbish away and walked to her.
"You need help with that?" I said
Luan tried with all her might to try and fold the legs but it wouldn't budge.
"Y-yeah, that would be nice." She said
I pulled a lever and suddenly all the legs folded inwards in a flash. She sat there dumbstruck and blushing. I grabbed the table by the handle and began to walk to the garage. I turned to see Luan in the doorway and she was holding something behind her back.
"Whatcha got there?" I asked
"I-I made this for you," she said
She pulled from behind her back a little puppet soldier with a Capitan rank, a helmet on, and a name tag that says 'Littles'.
"His n-name is Capitan Littles." She said as she held it
I looked at it and walked towards her and saw the detail she made on this toy. I looked up at her and smiled as I took the puppet from her. She gave a sheepish smile and rubbed her shoulder and looked down.
"Do you like it?" she said
I grabbed her chin very softly and pulled it up and made her have eye contact with me. I pulled her in for a hug and she was startled from the transaction but accepted it.
"I love it," I said
I held her in the hug for about 10 seconds until I let go.
"Hey, Luan?"
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"F-for what."
"The opportunity you give to me."
"LUAN!" Lori shouted, "TIME TO GO!"
"See you later," she said
"See you" I replied
