A/N: Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's been reading.
I hope you are all giving your honest opinions, and even if you hate it,
still review! I want to know what you think works and what doesn't. Oh! And
weather or not you like the characters. (Mine of course. Because we all
know, that the fabulous Mr. King did a great job with his characters!)
Hehe, okay, so without and further ado, here's chapter 11!!!!!
~ The BliSh Lady
Chapter 11:
Eyeball threw Teddy on the ground and started beating the crap of him. I couldn't stand it. Ace flipped out his switchblade. I had to do something to stop them! So without thinking I remembered the gun under Ace's front seat. I whipped it out, and in meaning to shoot it in the air, I accidentally fired it.
"AHHH!!! SHIT!" Fuzzy screamed holding his arm. I threw the gun back under the seat. Opps, I think I missed the air. Ace, Eyeball, and Billy turned around so quickly. Everyone ran over to Fuzzy. I gave Gordon, a get-out-of- here-before-they-come-back-and-kick-your-ass, look.
"What the fuck happened?" Ace yelled.
"Shit, I don't know! Ah shit, it hurts like a fuck!" Fuzzy said, holding his arm.
"Jessie, did you see the shooter?" Billy asked.
"Uh, y-yeah. There were, uh, three guys." I lied nervously. I was a sucky liar when I was nervous. I should've just said no. I just screwed myself over, didn't I? Shit!
"Really? Where were they?" Eyeball asked.
"They were in a car, and they're probably long gone by now."
"Shit Jess, are you serious? What color was the car?" Eyeball asked. Crap. I hadn't thought about details. Damn am I screwed or what?
"Uh. Black?"
"The Scorpions." The guys said at once.
"We've got to get Fuzzy to a hospital!" Vince said.
"Yeah! I like Vince's plan!" Fuzzy yelled in anguish.
"Not uh, no good." Billy said.
"Why not?!!!" Fuzzy yelled frantically.
"Because doctors ask too many questions." Ace said.
"Shit, he's right." Vince said.
"Do something!!!" Fuzzy screeched, ad a tear fell from his eye. Vince wiped it away.
"Come on man. Big boys don't cry." Vince said.
"Can someone shoot Vince for me?" Fuzzy said.
"My uncle is a doctor. He'll help us." Charlie said.
"Hello, moron, why didn't you say that before?" Ace said, smacking him in the head.
"Can we trust 'em?" Billy said. He was always suspicious of everyone and everything.
"Who cares! Who cares! Can we go!!!" Fuzzy yelled.
"Okay Charlie, you drive. Fuzzy, lay down in the back. Vince and Billy you go with them. Okay, and you two love birds come with me." Ace said, barking orders. We started to drive.
"Okay Jess. I'm going to drop you off home, and I'll pick you up later." Ace said.
"Why?"
"Because Fuzzy is probably going to cry and we to kill his pride having you watch him. It's a guy thing."
"DAMN IT CHARLIE! DRIVE FASTER!!!" We could hear Fuzzy all the way from Vince's car. He started to sob.
"FUCK! IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH!" We heard him again.
"Right. Okay, I'll go home." I said. When Ace stopped in front of my house, I gave Eyeball a quick kiss, then left.
I went into Gordon's room, and found everyone there, tending to Teddy. They all looked at me. Gordon came to the door and closed it, just so he could see my face from his room.
"Get out Jess." He said solemnly. I put my foot in the door.
"No Gordon, I want to help. I want to apologize to them."
"Too late." He said kicking my foot out of the door. He closed the door, then locked it. I stood there, my face to his white door. I put my fist to the door.
"Come on Gordon!" I yelled to be sure that they would hear me. "I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry! I'm sorry to you, Teddy, Elisa, Ali, Vern, Chris, Denny, Aunt Dorothy, Uncle Will, mom, dad, Jared, Greg, Fay. I'm sorry to everyone." I said, hitting the door with my palms. I couldn't help but cry. I hated myself for it.
"Come on Gordon! What was I suppose to do?! I shot my friend in the arm, what more do you want?!" I pressed my ear against the door.
"Maybe you should let her in." Chris said. Good Chris! Always so considerate. Gordon would listen to him, right?
"No! I'm not letting her in! I hate her!" Gordon yelled to them. I had given up then. And cried some more. Just then, Elisa came out.
"Gordon says, to go away, and to leave us alone." She said and turned to go inside.
"Wait." I said quickly, and she turned to face me. "I'm real sorry about Teddy and your necklace." She cut me off before I got to finish.
"What do you care?"
"Elisa, I do. I care. You saw me, I shot Fuzzy so they'd stop bothering you guys. I'm sorry if you guys feel like I should've stopped them when they first started messing with you, but better late then never, right? I didn't mean to fuck everything up. I'm sorry, for everything."
"Yeah well tell that to Teddy, who's lying in there all messed up."
"Here." I said, giving her back her necklace. "I stole it from Eyeball. Tell Gordon I'll get his baseball back, when I get a chance. And tell Teddy that I'm real sorry." I said. She just stared at her mother's necklace. Elisa didn't say anything. She just turned around and went inside. I sighed and went into my room.
I plopped down on my bed. My face, buried in the pillow. I heard my door open, then shut, then footsteps toward my bed. I looked up to see Chris standing there. I sat up.
"Gordie and Vern left to go get some clothes for Teddy. He's staying over tonight."
"I'm sorry Chris."
"Why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything." He said, sitting next to me.
"You seem to be the only one who thinks so."
"Yeah well."
"You know. I didn't mean to fuck up everything." "I know."
"It never was like this when we were younger and Denny was around. We use to like each other, Gordon and I. But then, somewhere along the road, we grew apart. Got new friends, knew interests, and then new states."
"He's just mad. It'll blow over soon."
"I don't know. Gordon can hold grudges pretty long. He once was mad at me for 4 months for eating the last cookie one-day. We were seven at the time, but still. He was real mad at me." Chris laughed.
"He's just angry with you for joining the Cobras and hooking up with Eyeball. He's just trying to protect you."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, shoot."
"Why aren't you mad at me for going out with Eyeball. I mean he is your brother, and he does hit you."
"I don't know. I guess, that you deserved to have at least one person who doesn't hate you right now." I laughed a little. I fell back on my bed, and he leaned back too.
"Can I ask you something else?"
"Sure."
"Do you like Ali or something?"
"Uh. Well. She's okay."
"You do."
"Um, only in the sense, that I pine over her." He laughed.
"I thought so."
"Am I that obvious?"
"Yes, yes you are. The sudden gleam in your eye when she walks in kind of gives it away."
"Think she knows?"
"I don't know. She hasn't said anything to me. But then again, no one is talking to me." "True. Now can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Do you really like hanging around the Cobras?"
"Yeah, they're not so bad. Why does Ace hate you so much?"
"What did he say?" Well, I wasn't about to tell Chris that Ace wanted me to kill him. But I wanted to though. I wanted to talk about it with someone.
"Well, um, he's says you're in the way."
"Oh well, I don't like it when they try to push us around. I've stood up to them so many times."
