"Hey Randi?" Mikey asked, as he and Randi were getting ready to go to bed. "Can I talk to you, seriously?"
"Shit yeah Mikey," Randi said brushing her hair, "You know that."
"So can you come over here and listen to me?
Randi rolled her eyes and sat down next to Mikey. "What?"
Mikey took a deep breath. "You know that I never lie, right?"
"Right."
"And that I'd never say things that I felt didn't absolutely need to be said?"
"Right."
"And since we've been here, with your friends and all, there are some things that I noticed and-"
"Get to the point Mikey," Randi said jokingly.
"Ok. I don't think you're being honest with yourself," Mikey said hurriedly.
"What the hell are you talking about? Of course I'm honest with myself!" Randi yelped.
"You're getting all angry and defensive," Mikey pointed out. "You know what I say has truth to it."
Randi didn't say anything. Mikey could read her like a book.
"Listen, I don't want you to be mad at me. I just want you to get an outsider perspective on this."
"God Mikey," Randi said, her voice rising, "You're being a real asshole."
"Do you love Teddy?" Mikey asked suddenly.
"Are you serious?" Randi laughed in disbelief.
"Dead serious. Do you love him?"
"Why does it have to be love?" Randi snapped, "Why can't it just be this really nice thing I'm a part of right now?"
"You wanna live your life like that? Don't think that you're not good enough for what you want! You've always been doing what's expected of you. Dammit, the only reason you told yourself you cared about Mouth was because everyone expected you to!"
"Don't fucking questions my actions. God damn, this is just how I am!" Randi cried.
"I can't just stand by and let you live your life like that. You're a Goonie, Randi, a Goonie. We stick up for each other. Besides, all you're doing is hurting yourself and Teddy!"
"Fuck you!" Randi screamed. "I do care about Teddy! So just stay out of my business you freaking asshat!"
"You're just pissed because you know what I'm saying is right!" Mikey yelled.
Randi didn't even notice that Rick, Tina, Mouth and Rudy had heard the commotion and were standing in the doorway.
"Shut up!" Randi screamed, and charged at Mikey.
"What the hell are you doing?" Mouth yelled, and grabbed Randi by the wrists.
"You just shut up!" Randi yelled at Mikey, completely ignoring the pain in her arms from Mouth's firm grip, "You have no idea what you're talking about!"
"Randi, chill," Rudy said, gently holding her back.
"Come on Mikey," Rick said, leading Mikey, Tina and Mouth from the room.
Rudy sat with Randi as she cried.
"I hate him," she sobbed.
"No you don't," Rudy said. "Just go to sleep, okay?"
"What's wrong with me?" Randi looked up at Rudy, her eyes big and scared.
"Nothing kiddo," Rudy ruffled her hair, "Nothing." Randi nodded and climbed into her bed.
At his house, Gordie got up and looked out the window for the fifth or sixth time.
'I guess she's not coming,' he thought. He got into his bed, but didn't fall asleep. He had a lot to think about, and he was organizing his thoughts.
A/N - Sorry this is such a short chapter. And I'm super sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. I have a lot more written, but because of school, I haven't gotten the chance to type it. Now that school is out, I'll be able to update a lot more frequently. Thanks to all those who stuck with me :)
