Broken Bottles
A horn beeped outside. "That must be Twist," Otto said to Sunny. Otto opened the door for her, and walked out behind her to Twist's 68' Mustang. "Tonight we're gonna leave knowing we fought well, or we're gonna leave with a fat lip and a black eye," Otto stated. They rode in silence all the way to Rob's house, even Isis.
They arrived ten minutes before the party was supposed to start, but the music was already blaring, and Rob's front yard was already overfilled with cars. Twist parked his car beside the driveway. They all staggered out and reluctantly walked up to the house. "You ready, guys?" Twist asked. He knew what was going to happen. Isis told him what happened to Sunny. They slowly sauntered in.
There was a ton of people, and they didn't see Rob at first. "I don't like this," Sunny and Isis said in sequence. Otto grunted as a huge, fat guy walked by and stepped on his toe. He bit his tongue for his life's sake. "We're not leaving. There's a score to settle," Otto said angrily.
"Now show me this Rob guy." Sunny and Isis started to tremble. "There he is," Isis stuttered as she pointed to a limber, freckled blonde in the corner of the people-stuffed room. Otto chuckled, "Him? That's the scary Rob? Man, I can beat the mess outta that guy!" Twister snickered, "Ha, yeah! He's… never mind!"
Otto imagined him pinning up Rob against the wall and beating the stuffing out of him. Just then, Otto came up with an idea. "You guys pretend you don't know me and Twist, and we'll see what he does when he sees you two," Otto said. Isis and Sunny's eyes got wide. "What do you mean? You're gonna use us as bait, so we can lure him over to us, and then what?" she asked furiously. "Don't worry, if he comes near you two, then me and Twist will go over there and beat the crap out of him," Otto proposed. "What ever, Otto. You have no idea how strong he could be!" Isis almost yelled. "OK, but this better work!" Sunny said.
Otto and Twist walked to the other side of the room, while Isis and Sunny stayed on the other side. "OK, now all we can do is wait," Otto said. They both lived a year in a minute, until Rob started to stagger drunkenly over to Isis and Sunny. Twister twitched with anger, and started to move forward. "Not yet, Twist. We have to wait until he does something," Otto protested. Twister let out a growl (Errrr…).
"Hey…b-babes, whas-ss up?" asked Rob. His breath was drenched in the stench of alcohol. "Nothing," replied Isis and Sunny at the same time. "Don't I kn-now you? I don't know y-your little f-friend, though. She's a cut-tie," he stumbled on. He suddenly grabbed Isis by the arm. "Come d-dance with me b-baby," he provoked. Isis jerked back and screamed, "No way, you loser!"
Everything went quiet and everyone started staring at the three. "What did you call me?" Rob yelled. Sunny stepped forward, "A loser, you kook!" "Why you little," Rob let go of Isis and jerked his arm back as if he was going to hit them both. As soon as he did, Twist kicked him in the back of the legs. Rob went down with a yelp. As soon as he was down, Otto got down onto him and started punching him in the face. Someone from the crowd pulled Otto off of him, and Otto tried to jerk away. Otto's knuckled were covered in blood. There was a pool of blood beside Rob's face, trickling from his nose. Otto spit on Rob and cursed. "Try and mess with my girl next time, punk!" he screamed at him. The same person who took Otto and Twist off of Rob pushed them out the door and onto the front lawn. Sunny and Isis quickly followed.
"Otto, you brought this onto your self," Sunny tried to explain. Otto didn't say anything. "We'll see. When you go to school tomorrow, let's see if he gives you that same look," Otto said. Sunny sighed and said nothing else.
Twist stopped in front of Isis' house. He got out and gave her a hug and a good night kiss. "So, I'll call you tomorrow?" he asked. "Sure," she said. "Thanks, for tonight, and all," she said. "No problem baby. Nobody messes with my chick," he said as he bid farewell.
Twist had already dropped off Isis, so he let Sunny and Otto out. Otto didn't say anything. "Thank you for sticking up for me tonight anyway," Sunny said as she gave him a hug. "I would do anything to protect you after what happened after, you know," he said. He leaned over and kissed her goodnight. "Later," he said. "Later," she replied.
Otto got back in the car, and Twist dropped him off next. "Later dude, thanks for the lift," Otto said. "No problem, man, later," Twist replied as he spun tires out of the drive way, and pulled two feet over into his driveway. One problem was left to solve. It was 12 AM, and how was Otto going to explain what happened to Raymundo? Find out next in "Major Mix-Up."
