The Feeling - Chapter Ten: Confrontation
Tish and Carver sat on the steps out front of Tish's house. They were bored since neither Tino nor Lor were there to hang out with. Carver tapped a stick against a step trying to entertain himself while Tish cleaned her glasses.
After a few moments of silence Carver spoke up, "Is it just me or does this suck?"
"It's not just you. It's just no fun without Lor and Tino. However, since Tino isn't back I'll assume that he and Lor made up"
"You mean 'made out'. Hahaha......ha, never mind."
"I'm sorry I had to hear that, but this is good because now things will work out okay for all of us."
"Yeah, I guess you're right, but why can't they just hang out again?"
"Don't you remember that Thomson invited Lor to get pizza?"
"Oh yeah, but wait, then why isn't Tino here? I mean you don't think he went too?"
"I don't know, maybe he did. There is only one way to find out. We are going to the pizza place."
"Yeah, let's go. We can get some pizza rather than being bored."
"We aren't going to eat. We are going to find Lor and/or Tino."
"Hold on a second. We are going to the pizza place, but not for pizza? I'm sorry that doesn't register."
"Do you always think with your stomach?"
"What else can I think with?"
Tish shook her head, but decided to not argue anymore since she knew it would go nowhere.
"Look, let's just go already. We don't want to miss them."
"Tish, it's a pizza place. Those pizzas aren't going anywhere."
"Carver, I swear, you are so lucky you have a high metabolism or else you would be a fat mess."
"A high what?"
"Forget it! Let's go!"
"Alright, alright no need to yell."
Thomson stood outside the pizza shop growing very agitated.
"She had better not be standing me up. I swear if she does not show, there will be hell to pay. It was hard enough for me to be so nice yesterday. I could be out with some other chick right now, so she had better show. I can't believe that she is making me wait. Arrgh, I gotta keep my cool. I have to be nice so I can get my revenge. Man, it is so hard to be nice to that bitch. Where the hell is she?! C'mon, Thomson pull it together. Take some deep breaths," he thought to himself.
Thomson paced a bit trying to cool down.
After a few minutes he looked out and saw her walking up, "Finally she's here. Wait a minute, who the hell is with her?"
Thomson squinted through his sunglasses, then reeled back in shock.
"I cannot believe this!! She brought that little jackass with her! What does she think she is doing? I can't work my charm if that assclown is around. Forget this. I'll have to do things the old fashioned way."
"Hey Thomson," Lor said as she walked up to him.
Tino stayed silent noticing Thomson's twitching eye.
"I hope you don't mind that I brought Tino along, but I don't think you will since you have gone back to being a real nice guy. Also, since you want to make it up to me, I figure what better way then for you to treat me and my boyfriend."
Lor smiled as she said this. Now both of Thomson's eyes twitched. He was ready to burst with anger. Tino took a step back afraid that Thomson was going to explode at any second.
"Hey Thomson, something wrong? You don't look so good. Are you sure you still want to get some pizza with me and Tino?" Lor asked emphasizing the last few words.
Thomson covered his face with his hands and began to speak slowly, "Do you really think that I am going to buy pizza for the two of you? It's hard enough for me to just buy YOU some after what you did to me!"
Lor couldn't believe what she was hearing, "What I did to you?! What I did to you?! Are you that much of a stuck-up bastard?! You are completely disgusting! Not only did you act like a pig that night, but now you lied to get a second chance with me? I never thought someone could get so low."
"I have a reputation at school and I have to keep it. You are a nobody and I'm popular! It's not low, it's the unwritten rules of high school, I get to walk on anyone I want especially nobody bitches like you!"
At this point something snapped inside of Tino and he could stand no more. It didn't matter that Thomson was two times his size or that Thomson could very well beat him into next year. What mattered was that his girlfriend, his best friend, was being ridiculed by him. Tino could feel rage flowing throughout his body, he could not just stand by anymore.
"Shut your damn mouth, you bastard. Who the hell do you think you are talking to her like that? If you really think that's how things are, than you are lower than the ground I'm standing on. I don't care about any unwritten rules or about how popular you are. You cannot talk to my friend, my girlfriend, that way and expect me to do nothing about it. In fact, you shouldn't be talking like that to anyone. If you want to continue then you will have to take me out first."
Lor was touched by Tino's concern and his willingness to be beaten up for her sake. She couldn't believe Tino was doing this. She had always known him to be a bit of a coward. Now she knew that Tino would stand his ground for the sake of love and good nature.
Thomson, on the other hand, was in a state of utter shock that Tino would ever say something like that to him, "You little piece of shit! What makes you think you can talk to me like that?! Do you realize how low you are on the social totem pole? You are even below this bitch! And do you think that you can honestly stop me? Look at yourself! You're nothing more than a twig! But if you want to stop me so bad take your best shot."
"Don't you ever call her that name again, you bastard!" Tino yelled.
"C'mon you little shit, try and fight me!" Thomson yelled back.
Tino clenched his fists tightly. He wanted so badly to punch him and stand up for Lor, but he knew that he was putting himself at risk by doing so.
"What are you waiting for you little pansy?!" Thomson yelled trying to get Tino incensed further.
"Tino, don't listen to him. He is just being a jackass. You'll get hurt if you fight him. Don't do it." Lor told Tino.
"Are you going to listen to her? I guess I had it wrong. She isn't the bitch, you are!" Thomson laughed.
That had done it. He crossed the line. Tino summoned all his courage and strength and let loose with a punch. He caught Thomson in the side of his face and it knocked his sunglasses off. Thomson took a step or two back and held his face. He couldn't believe that had actually happened. Now he was angry and Tino was going to pay for it. Thomson jumped forward and delivered a shot to Tino's chest sending him to the ground.
"Tino!" Lor called out.
By now a crowd began to form around the two, as everyone was eager to witness the fight. Thomson went over and picked Tino up and began to pummel him up against the side of the pizza shop. Tino tried to block some of the punches but they came too fast for him. He ached all over as punches came from all over and beat him down. After innumerable shots Thomson reared back for one final punch to send a beaten and bloody Tino out for the count. Thomson came flying forward, but he was knocked off course as what felt like a ton of bricks connected with his stomach. He tumbled off to the side and looked up to see a fuming Lor standing over him. His anger had intensified. He didn't care if she was a girl; nobody punched Thomson Oberman and got away with it. He jumped up at her, but was sent reeling by a right hook to the jaw. He stumbled a bit and before he could figure out what was going on a flurry of punches struck him all over. Thomson lost all sense of where he was and where the punches were coming from as they pummeled him all over. Lor continued her assault with lightning fast punches to Thomson's face, stomach, and chest. Tino and all the others stood amazed as Thomson got his ass kicked all over the place. Soon Thomson could barely stand and he was in a complete daze.
Lor took a step back and gathered all her pent up anger at him and said, "Fuck you, Thomson."
She then let loose a roundhouse kick that rocked his jaw sending him sprawling out over the ground. Thomson lay there with his nose and mouth bleeding and with somewhere around a few thousand bruises. The crowd stood amazed as he lay there twitching slightly. Lor went over to Tino to see if he was okay.
"You alright, man?"
"Just a bloody nose and a few bruises, nothing too serious. I'll be fine," Tino answered.
Some guy in the crowd began laughing, "Hahaha. He had to get his girlfriend to fight for him. Ha- Arrggh!"
He was cut off as Lor decked him with one shot. She put her arm around Tino and helped him to walk to a bench. Just then Tish and Carver came running up.
"Oh my god! What happened here?" Tish said in shock.
Tino smiled slightly despite his pain. "You guys missed one hell of a confrontation."
Tish and Carver looked at each other and couldn't wait to hear this story.
End of Chapter Ten
So how about it? Weren't you all waiting for this? I know I was. I was anticipating this chapter so much I had a dream about it. Scary, huh? Anyway, I thought it was only right that Lor got to kick Thomson's ass, and I hope you guys did too. If you didn't like it well then be sure to tell me in a review, an email, or IM me about it and yell at me till your heart's content Keep readin' and reviewin'.
