Chapter 5: Friday Night
Craig was walking downtown to the side of town near where Sean lived, that was also where Molly lived. As Craig got to Molly's apartment he bumped into Greg who was leaving to pick up Manny for their date. "Oh hey, you must be Craig…" Greg asked.
"Yeah, your Greg, Molly's brother right?" Craig asked.
"Yeah, Molly told me to tell you to wait down here she will be down in a minute." Greg said.
"Oh, ok. Bye, nice meeting you." Craig said as Greg walked off.
Craig after waiting about five minutes decided to go inside to get Molly. He started walking up the stairs to the third floor. He remembered on the bottom floor it said she was in room 223. He started walking down the hall then, like Terri, he heard screaming and people throwing things. He assumed it was just someone else and continued walking down the hall. When he got to room 223 he realized that was where the yelling was coming from. He put his ear up against the door and heard…"WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?" and then a slap. Suddenly the door opened and Molly came running out with tears streaming down her face and a red mark across her cheek. She saw Craig and stopped in shock, then she realized her dad was still there she grabbed Craig's arm and ran down the hall down the stars.
They got outside and Craig said, "Molly? What happened? I heard screaming and yelling."
"Nothing Craig! Nothing! Stop asking it's none of your business!" She yelled angrily with tears streaming down her face.
"Molly, come on you can tell me you know I care about you and I can help you!" Craig said.
"No you can't Craig! NO ONE can help me! NO ONE!" Molly said screaming through her tears.
"Molly…does your dad…does he…beat you?" Craig asked quietly.
When Craig said that Molly looked up at Craig then she fell on the ground crying. "I take that as a yes…" Craig said as he sat down next to her.
"Yeah…" Molly nodded.
"Come on, come back to my house for a while." Craig said.
"No, you probably don't want to go out with me after I've been such a baby." Molly said.
"No way! Molly, come on!" Craig said.
"No!" Molly yelled.
"Molly! I got beaten by my dad to! I no what its like!" Craig yelled.
"Oh my god!" Molly said.
"Come on, let's go to my house…" Craig said again.
"Ok…" Molly said as they walked off.
Meanwhile, Greg was walking to Emma's house to pick up Manny. He was walking down the road thinking about his dad and his sister, and how Molly was, because when he left their dad was mad. He was walking and thinking deep in thought when he crashed into someone. "Hey, your JT right?" Greg asked.
"Yeah, your Greg, the new kid." JT said.
"Yup that's me, the new kid." Greg replied.
"Haha, do what's up?" JT asked.
"Nothing much, I'm just going to Emma's to pick up Manny for our date tonight." Greg said.
"What!?" JT said in shock.
"I'm picking up Manny for a date." Greg said again slowly.
"How do you know she likes you!" JT asked meanly.
"Umm I never said she liked, me I just asked her out the other say and she said yes… so we are going out tonight." Greg said confused.
"Why did you ask her out!?" JT asked.
"Umm because I thought she was nice and hot, and a great date." Greg said.
"Well why didn't you ask out someone else!?" JT yelled.
"Because I didn't want to, and why do you care so much, its not like she's your girlfriend." Greg said.
"Well maybe I've just had a huge crush on her since I was 7! Sh*t! Did I just say that outloud?" JT said.
"Umm yeah you did. And I'm really sorry I shouldn't have asked her out." Greg said.
"No its ok, sorry I just got jealous." JT said turning red.
"It's fine really, I'll call her and cancel." Greg said. "Me and you can go get a coke or something instead."
"Really?" JT asked.
"Yeah sure! I want to make friends then I can get the babes." Greg said grinning.
"Hey thanks! That means a lot to me!" JT said.
"Here I'll call her and cancel." Greg said picking up his phone. "Hey Manny, it's me Greg. Umm yeah, I have some bad news; I'm going to have to cancel our date tonight. I'm really sorry! But I promise I have a good reason, I'll tell you about it at school tomorrow! Yeah, bye."
"Wow thanks Greg" JT said.
"No problem, come on lets go to the Dot." Greg said and they walked off.
