AN: Time to use the veto and evict another house guests- I hope you guys don't hate me too much. I don't think you'll expect it, though, and this certain house guest has been a thorn in my side cause I don't know how to write his character. And since I am the almighty author…no. Just kidding. On with the story! * whistles innocently *
Oh, and this is probably my last chapter before I leave for Wisconsin. But expect an absolutely HUGE update on Thursday, possibly Wednesday evening!
Spot
We gathered for the veto 'ceremony' and Snitch came forward, holding the nominations bag and another bag that could possibly hold a replacement key if the veto was used.
"Due to Skittery's condition, he's asked me to take his place in running the veto ceremony. I don't know what he has chosen yet…he gave me this." He said, holding up a sealed envelope.
He carefully opened it, his eyebrow arching as he read it.
"Skittery has chosen to use the power of veto." He said, opening the nomination bag and pulling out a key. "Blink, you are now safe."
Blink was stunned, but reached forward and took his key, carefully placing it around his neck. I was surprised that Skittery hadn't made Mush safe- he was the one you would rather have in the house anyways.
"And in replacement, Cowboy will be put on the block." Snitch said, taking Cowboy's key from the replacement bag and putting it in the nomination bag, pulling the strings tight. Cowboy's jaw had dropped, but in a split second, that expression changed to anger.
I knew what Skittery had done. No one would be choosing to evict Mush over Cowboy. Now Cowboy would either have to go around pleading or take it like a man.
The Votes
Blink
Did I really need to be asked? Did we even need to take this stupid vote? We all knew how it was going to end up. If Mush got evicted, I would have to go on a murderous rampage, and that just doesn't happen. Well, not usually, anyway.
Besides, Mush had become my best friend, not to mention my confidant. Almost like a brother to me. Well…he didn't really feel like a brother…but close enough. It was a weird kind of thing that no one else seemed to get.
There was no way I would ever vote to evict him. Hell, if it came down to me and him for the money, and I was suddenly told to make the decision myself, I probably wouldn't have the heart to vote against him. How bad is that?
Anyway…that's why I voted to evict Cowboy.
Bumlets
To everyone else, this was a simple decision. Mush is the nice guy, we had to keep him. But if we kept him, I could easily see him winning. It's a no-brainer; the guy everyone loves is going to win, for the simple reason that they love him too much.
I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let a fellow so-called 'nice guy' take me out of this game. Talk about a major blow to the pride.
So I voted to evict Mush.
Spot
Oh, God, what a hard decision!!!
Yeah, right.
Let's see…keep someone who's overly cocky and annoying? Or keep someone who's too nice for his own good?
Anybody who voted to evict Mush had to be crazy. They needed therapy.
And guess what? I'm not gonna be in therapy. I voted to evict Cowboy.
Dutchy
Skittery had to be the smartest guy on the face of the planet. This was a completely foolproof plan. I would have to remind myself to shake his hand when he was actually conscious.
Maybe we needed to be more worried about him than originally thought.
But yeah, you already know. I voted to evict Cowboy, just like every other sane person in this house.
Snitch
I was sticking by my original judgment. Mush had to go. He was going to be a threat to everyone when it came down to the line. Yeah, he was sweet, but I would rather spend months in a house with demons and win $25,000 dollars than spend months in a house with angels and walk away with nothing.
I wasn't the insane one in the house. Anyone who trusted Mush was insane.
I voted to evict Mush.
Specs
I had talked to quite a few of the housemates about this, and strange as it may seem, the house was divided even on this issue. But as much as I saw the logic in voting out Mush, I just couldn't vote that kid out. It seemed impossible to do, especially when he was up against someone like Cowboy. But that was Skittery's 'master plan', wasn't it?
And so, with no further ado, I voted out Cowboy.
Skittery
Even though I knew it was probably a bad idea to leave Mush in the house, I had to be true to my word. I may be a criminal, but I don't break promises. And I promised that he'd be safe.
Besides, I did all this to get Cowboy out of the house anyway. I just plain don't like him. You could say he gives me bad vibes, just like Race. But now that Race had vowed me protection, he'd have to follow through, and he was probably going to end up regretting it- because I wouldn't give a single thought to betraying him.
Of course, I voted to evict Cowboy.
Racetrack
God, the people in this house are so gullible that it's ridiculous. Skittery played them all like a tuned violin- he had a special grudge against me and Cowboy, and he used everyone else's love for Mush against them in order to get rid of one end of the problem. I was extremely lucky that I'd made that truce with him- otherwise, I knew that I would be the one up for eviction next to Mush. And the same thing would happen…I would be gone in a heartbeat.
He was smart. Too smart. I may have to go against our little truce sooner than planned- he was a major threat in this house. He had the mind of a gambler and the mind of a criminal mixed up, a deadly combination in any game.
And so I went against him. He wouldn't know it until after we left but it would feel just as sweet anyway.
I voted to evict Mush.
Itey
I honestly didn't want to think about this as 'just a game'. I was choosing which one of my friends I wanted to cut out of this, and it hurt. It hurt like hell.
So I went to Spot. He didn't think twice about it- he knew for sure it was better to evict Cowboy. What was I supposed to think? He seemed so certain, and I was so UNcertain…
So, I voted to evict Cowboy.
The Eviction
Cowboy
"Hello, house guests."
"Hello, Sarah."
I looked around our circle of people, wondering how many of them voted against me. All of them? All but one, if I was lucky? This wasn't fair. No one who goes up against Mush in this decision would win.
"The votes are in. Are you ready to hear the next evictee from the house?"
No. No, no, no, I wasn't ready. This wasn't right. I deserved a rematch or something!
"By a vote of 6 to 3, Mush…"
WHAT!!! I could see the stunned look on everyone's faces as that name was spoken.
"You can unpack your bags. Cowboy, you are hereby evicted from the big brother house."
Duh. Should've known she'd pull a trick like that. I put on my best fake smile and stood up, giving hugs all the way around. Then I picked up my bag and headed for the door.
"Aren't you gonna go say goodbye to Skittery?" Bumlets asked gently.
I didn't even turn around. "No."
And with that, I left the big brother house.
AN: Oh, that last stroke of insensitiveness kills me! But anyway, next update will be Wednesday evening or Thursday afternoon, probably. (I sleep through morning. There is no morning for me. ^__^) So…please review so I have something to look forward to!
