Chapter Ten
Neal was miserable. We all did our best to try and cheer him up, but it wasn't helping, since the happiest dude, Owen, was back with Amelia, and they all of a sudden became this Owen-and-Amelia creature, forever fused to each other's hips. I wanted to smack them both over the head with my board, but that wouldn't be nice, would it? So DOm and I decided to buy Neal and early Christmas present, even thought it was April.
"This is nice," Dom said, holding up a 12-pack of condoms. I rolled my eyes.
"Sure, Dom, lets get Neal some condoms, he can really use those!!" Dom shrugged and put them back on their shelf. "We're trying to find something that doesn't remind him of Yuki, ok?"
"Whatever, Kel." We walked down the rows of stupid shit and back again. I finally deicided that, well, this really wasn't working. I dragged Dom over to the condom and lubricants aisle.
"Fine!" I said. "You can go buy him one of these. We'll blow them up and decorate his locker with them! Yay!" Dom frowned and felt my forehead.
"Umm, you ok, Kel?" I giggled. Maybe I had dipped into the Christmas wine a bit too early. I laughed again. "Maybe I should take you home..."
"No!! Please, anywhere but home!!! Oh my God, my dad won't shut up and leave me alone!! The phone's always busy calling my brother's and other stupid people and inviting them to the nonexsistent wedding! Do you think I give a damn??? NO!!! I'm not even getting fucking married, so why should I??? I Hate this stupid shit, I want to live under a rock and just die!!! And sh'es always making me try on these stupid dresses and measuring me and making me sample chocolates, and I don't even like chocolate!! ANd you know what else??? Neal's being a stupid bastard, drowning in his pool of broken-hearted misery, and look at the hell I'm going through!! It's all his fault! I want to shove him off a cliff and laugh as his broken body gets eaten by ugly, stupid vultures!!!!" There was a moment of silence.
"Wow..." Dom said, after a while. "Ok, I won't take you home then." He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the store. "What was that about?" I shook my head.
"No idea. All of my pent-up rage, that was." Dom nodded.
"I guess it would be a bad idea to give you these chocoates that I bought especially for you....."
After my little nervous breakdown, I decided enough was enough and I was going to go hide out at Neal's house. I knocked on the door to his room.
"Go away, I don't want to talk about, and I"m perfectly content with sitting here and wallowing in my own misery, ok??"
"It's Kel."
"Oh. Go away." I shook my head and pushed open the door. He glared at me from his Xbox, where he was playing some stupid game.
"I thought I told you to go away."
"You did, but I didn't listen!" He turned back to his game. I tossed him the box.
"Here, I bought you some condoms."
"Why?" He asked forlornly."I'm never going to have sex, now that Yuki's gone." He sighed woefully.
"There's always the hookers." He shrugged.
"She's probably got some Japanese dude right now, staring into those beautiful eyes of her, touching her soft, silky hair and *sob*-"
"Are you crying??"
"No, of course *choke* not!*sob*" I wrapped my arms around him.
"Aww, my poor widdle Nealy, missing his girl. It'll be ok! You just have to move on! Cleon, damn, he moved on at the speed of light!" He chuckled. I patted him on the head and decided to go face my parents.
I told them everything. They didn't believe me at first, but after awhile, they started getting mad at me for not telling them sooner. I wanted to yell in their faces, tell them that I had tried to tell them, but obviously they were to caught up in their lives to notice. But I held it back, and smiled as they thought up suitable ways to punish me and suitable ways for Neal's father to punish him. Remeber when I said it was definitly not "jolly" that I was madly in love with Dom? Well, it was turning out to be quite the opposite.
