Chapter 16:
Argh! Men are so stupid! I sighed. The rest of the day was pretty boring. But, then again, it's school. How fun could it be? Anyway, Vince came to pick me up after school, and after I got changed. He noticed my black eye.
"Shit Jess, Amy really popped you one, huh?" He said.
"Shut up." We were going to visit Fuzzy in the hospital. I had changed out of my gym clothes by then. I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. When we got to the hospital, I refused to talk to Eyeball, so I just stayed around Vince the whole time.
"Hey Fuzzy, how you holding up?" Billy asked.
"You're uncle is okay, Charlie."
"Yeah, see, I told you guys we could trust 'em."
"So how do you feel?" Vince asked.
"I feel like shit. I got shot you moron. How am I suppose to feel?"
"Aw, poor Fuzzy." I said, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Wow, I should get shot more often."
"No, I don't want to have to hear you're crying again." Vince said.
"I wasn't crying!"
"Yeah, you were." Charlie said.
"Shut up you homo!"
After seeing Fuzzy, I completely forgot about Eyeball. That is, until Vince and I were alone in the car.
"Vince."
"Yeah?"
"I think that you and I should get together." I blurted out. I just didn't care anymore. If Eyeball was going to move on, then so was I!
"What?!?" He said, completely in shock.
"Yeah, I think you and I should go out."
"Um, that was random."
"I know. So what do you say?"
"You're just trying to get back at Eyeball."
"Maybe."
"Gee thanks."
"Well, I mean, I like you. You're cool, and sarcastic, and I really don't want to resort to Ace."
"Uh huh. So why are you really asking me?"
"Well, I heard about Jean."
"Ah yes."
"Yeah, and how you guys did it before she went out with Eyeball."
"Yeah, we went out too."
"Really?"
"Of course. That would've been pretty low if I didn't go out with her, don't ya think?"
"Yeah, I guess. So what a happened."
"I was really in love with her, but what I didn't know was Eyeball had liked her a lot too."
"Yeah, I heard that she was perfect like that."
"From?"
"Elisa."
"Cheryl's kid sister?"
"Yeah."
"Ah, I see. Anyway, her and Eyeball had this little thing on the side that I apparently didn't know about."
"Well, was it like she slept with him, or they kissed?" "She was a Cobra. She did everything the whole way or not at all."
"Oh."
"Yeah, so when she told me about it, she said it had been going on for like two months. We were going out for four."
"Ouch."
"Yeah. So when we broke up, naturally I expected her to go out with Eyeball."
"Right."
"But she didn't."
"She didn't?"
"Nope. She took on Ace."
"That's pretty low."
"Yeah, I thought so."
"So what happened to Eyeball?"
"She still messed around with him, while she was going out with Ace. And Eyeball knew about it. I think even Ace knew."
"Whoa, and I thought she was perfect."
"Nah, she wasn't perfect, but she was pretty damn close."
Vince stared off into the night. I assumed he was remembering Jean. I was surprised that he could think so highly of her, when she did that to him. I wondered why everyone loved her so much.
"So, how did she wind up with Eyeball?"
"Well, I think Ace was a little too fast, even for Jean. So she cut out Ace, and then finally got together with Eyeball."
"Oh."
"So, do you still think it's a good idea if you and I hooked up?"
"I'm not too sure." I said, and he laughed. "I thought so."
"Yeah, sorry."
"Don't be. I know why you asked me."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. Think about it. Wouldn't it be perfect to mess with his head and go out with me, just like Jean did?"
"Perfect revenage."
"Yeah."
"But I'm not that mad yet."
"Yet."
"Yeah."
"Well, if you ask me, I think you should date his brother. Kyle or Cal, or whatever his name is." I laughed.
"You mean Chris?"
"Yeah."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it. Nothing would get Eyeball more hurt, then doing what Jean did. But nothing would make him more jealous if you liked his kid brother."
"Good point. But Chris likes someone."
"So?"
"Well, I can't do that."
"Tell him it's just to get back at Eyeball. I'm sure he'll be in for it."
"Maybe."
Vince stopped in front of my house, and I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"What was that for?" "For being Vince."
"Well, I should be Vince more often." We laughed, and I got out of the car. Could I really consider dating Chris? Eww, that's kind of weird. And I think I was starting to have a little crush on Vince back there. Wait a minute Jess calm down. Damn these teenage hormones!
