*Chapter 6* Shopping, Dances and Guy problems
The LaChance house was quiet and dark when Kally finally got home that night. She was extremely tired and exhausted, and mostly drained out from all the nights events. She couldn't stop thinking of Chris ever since their little 'run-in,' and she was happy about it. She didn't know why, but she had nervous, giddy butterflies in her stomach ever since he smiled at her over his shoulder.
Kally trudged up the stairs, dragging each foot carefully, as if they were made of lead. Her eyes were drooping, and she yawned long and loud. Passing her Aunt's room, the lights were off and she expected her to be asleep. Her uncle was still out of town, and as Kally thought of her short- tempered uncle, she rolled her eyes.
Walking into her bedroom she flicked on her lights, and began to undress. She began to slip off her blouse when she heard someone clear their throat over her shoulder.
"Ahem," they said. She turned around, and Gordie was sitting on her bed in his sweatpants and a big shirt. Just looking at him made Kally want to cry and run away. But she stayed rooted to the spot, and put her arm back their her sleeve.
"I don't think you want to take off your shirt just yet," he said, and Kally was surprised to find his voice not full of hate and coldness, but warmth and tenderness.
Kally rolled her eyes and walked over to him. She raked her hand their her unkempt hair, and felt a lump rise in her throat.
"What do you want?" she asked, and was surprised to find her voice shaky and much higher than usual.
Gordie looked at her, and sighed, then looked everywhere BUT her.
"We have to talk," he mumbled.
"No, we really don't," Kally retorted. She was hurt by him, but whenever she got sad she put up her barriers and acted angry.
"Kally, listen," Gordie said, looking straight into her eyes.
"Bullshit, I'll listen," Kally shouted. "If YOU would have listened, than we wouldn't be in this situation. I never touched Mila until SHE touched ME! Okay? God damn it Gordie, I thought you'd believe your cousin over your girlfriend."
Now the tears began to spill and Kally looked away. Her voice was cracking, and she was afraid that she would completely break down.
"I'm so sorry for what I said, Kally," Gordie muttered. He looked ashamed, and Kally couldn't blame him. What he said, that had hurt her so much, she felt like dying after that. But he did sound genuinely sorry.
"What makes you so sorry now?" Kally asked, still standing in front of him.
Gordie looked into her eyes, his eyes' sparkling with their doe innocence.
"What I said," he began. "it wasn't true, Kally. You didn't deserve what you got, no one does. Kally, I believe you. But it's just hard. Mila's my girlfriend, and your my cousin. What am I supposed to think?"
"You're supposed to think that I am right!" Kally said hotly.
"Kally," he said. "I love you. You're like my sister, and I would never do anything to hurt you, ever again. What I said...I was just mad and angry. I didn't want to believe that Mila started it, that she was the bad person." He stood up. "Kally, I love you! You're my baby cousin, and you'll always come first."
Kally couldn't help it. She melted. All the pain that was haunting her for so long finally spilled. She began to cry and Gordie wrapped her in his arms. She loved him too, he was like her big brother. She knew he was only angry earlier, and she believed him that he didn't mean it. She forgave, but she wouldn't EVER forget. It still heart.
"I love you too," she muttered in his ear, as he pulled away. She was surprised to see that he had tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong, Gordie?" she asked, sitting down on her bed.
Gordie looked in her eyes, and shook his head.
"I just...I dunno," he mumbled. "I feel so fuckin' ashamed. I'm so sorry Kally."
She looked at him, and blinked. He got up and went out of the room, gently closing the door behind him. Kally was bewildered. She was still hurt, and knew she wouldn't recover that fast. Sometimes things just stick, and they hurt. They hurt really bad.
Yawning, Kally undressed and as soon as she hit the pillow, fell fast asleep.
**************************************************************************** *********
The next day was a beautiful one, and Kally got up a little early for school. She made her bed and headed into the bathroom before Gordie got a chance to use it.
Staring in the mirror, she frowned. Her lip had a cut and was dried with blood, and just above her eyebrow was a deep slice. Kally scrubbed her face, trying to clean up the grotesque cuts. They hurt and stung, but she ignored the pain.
Quickly dressing in her khaki skirt (( a/n Idunno if they had khaki back then, but o0o well )) and pulled on a brown turtle neck. She pulled a brush through her hair and put it up in a high ponytail, out of her pale face. Kally grabbed her books, and briefly looking in the mirror, headed downstairs, and out the door.
Gordie wasn't home. She figured he had already gone to school. Slightly hurt, she kept on walking and wondering if she should be still upset with Gordie. He had definitely hurt her feelings beyond repair, but he WAS her cousin...she was just so confused.
"Hey-Kally!"
Kally turned around to find Chris running up to her. She grinned at him. For some reason she was too exhausted to be snappy with him Being a bitch all the time was starting to get old, and after what happened last night, she just wanted to be happy.
"Hi," she said. He grinned at her, and looked a bit surprised, perhaps that she was being so nice to him.
"Where's Gordie?" he asked suddenly, looking around as they continued walking to school.
Kally's heart sank. Of course, he had only caught up to her because of Gordie. What was she thinking, he actually liked her? Hell no, she was Kally Conesconi. The bitchiest, coldest girl he ever knew. But she didn't want to be that girl, and it hurt her..
"I dunno," she muttered. "He wasn't home when I got up. He probably met Mila and they walked."
Chris frowned. "Mila? Why's that?"
Kally rolled her eyes. Great..he didn't even know that they had started going out. She didn't want to tell him, be the little "messenger girl," but what the hell?
"Their going out Chris."
He looked crest fallen. "Oh."
Kally eyed him suspiciously. She didn't care anymore that he was jealous of Gordie because of Mila, she couldn't take it. She loved him, and that was that. Even if he only liked her as a friend, if even that far.
The rest of the walk to school was a silent, awkward one, and Chris kept stealing small glances at Kally. It was really starting to annoy her.
"What?" she finally snapped. "Do I have something on my face? Is my hair fucked up?"
Chris grinned slightly. Then he became serious. "Your cuts look pretty bad."
"Oh well. I don't care, they don't hurt anymore."
Chris shrugged, and they both headed inside the school. When they reached homeroom, all the students were huddled in a corner staring up at some paper pinned on the board. Kally found Lauren amongst them, and pushed her way through to her.
"What's up?" she asked, craning her neck to try and look.
Lauren smiled down at Kally, and said, "Spring dance in two weeks."
Kally groaned. "Great."
The day flew by pretty fast, and after school Kally and Lauren decided to go shopping in some local stores searching for dresses for the dance. They stopped at one particular store, with beautiful dresses.
"I don't really want to go," Kally mumbled to Lauren as they plowed through a rack of fifty percent off dresses. "I mean, it's just going to hurt me when I see Chris dancing or hanging out with that chick Jamie. She really likes him, and she's so much prettier than me."
Lauren looked up from the dress she was examining, and frowned. "Oh shut up. When we get you a nice dress, and I do your hair, Chris won't be able to keep his eyes off of you."
Kally sighed. "That's not it. I just want to talk to him, to be his friend, but I'm afraid I've already fucked everything up. I hate being mean to him and everyone, but I just don't wanna get fuckin hurt again."
Lauren nodded. "Then stop being a bitch."
"It's hard."
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, look at this dress, Kally!" Lauren held up a white dress, with light silver sparkles. It fell to the knee, and was sleeveless, which tied at each shoulder.
Kally gaped. "How much is it?"
Lauren examined the price tag, and smiled. "It's only thirty dollars! Come on, you HAVE to get it! It'll look great on you!"
Within ten minutes, both Lauren and Kally walked out of the story, carrying a bag in each hand. Extremely pleased with themselves, they decided to treat themselves to ice cream. After they ordered their ice cream, they sat down on a bench in the square, and talked about their guy troubles.
"You know," Lauren said. "I haven't ever had a boyfriend since I had Raven. It hurts like a bitch. No one will ever love me again."
Kally felt so sorry for her. She didn't really know what to say, because she didn't know what Lauren was going through. She just nodded and licked her strawberry ice cream some more.
"Hey-Kally!"
She turned around on the bench and saw Gordie, Chris, Mila and Jamie walking toward her. She groaned, and Lauren snorted at Kally's reaction. All four teenagers stood in front of Kally and Lauren.
"What?" Kally said, waiting for them to talk.
Gordie grinned at her. "What's up? What are you guys doin?"
Kally licked her ice cream again before answering.
"Well, me and Lauren just got our dresses for the spring dance, and now we are eating ice cream!" she said happily. She didn't know why she was being so nice, but she had no reason not to. She glanced at Chris, and he grinned at her. She grinned at him too, feeling butterflies in her stomach.
Mila and Jamie, however, burst out laughing.
"What the hell's so funny?" Lauren asked.
"Well," Mila started, through fits of giggles. "We didn't know you two were going. I mean-" Jamie and her started cracking up again. "You know. You-" she pointed to Lauren. "Have a baby! And Kally, well, why would you go? It's not like anyone would want you there! Who would you dance with? And who would want to hang out with you?" Jamie and Mila laughed so hard tears were running down their faces.
"And besides," Jamie said, clutching her side from all the laughter. "You wouldn't look good in a dress if it killed you! Which it just might!" Jamie and Mila were holding onto each other for support now.
Gordie and Chris were looking extremely angry, but nothing compared to what Kally and Lauren looked like. Kally threw her ice cream in Mila's face, as did Lauren with Jamie. They both, Kally and Lauren, stood up and faced the two girls, who were screeching from the mess that lay in their hair, and looked them straight in the eye.
Kally wanted to leap on this girl, wanted to kill them both, but something held her back.
"You know what?" she said. "I'm not wasting my time on you. You two are pathetic."
Kally and Lauren picked up their bags, and shaking their heads, walked away.
