From Bad, to Worse, to Not So Bad
"I hate when she does that," I said aloud. "Well it's now or never I guess." I rang the doorbell and waited. After a few seconds a man came to the door. He had kinda looked like an older and uglier Eyeball. He smelled of beer and cigarettes and could really use a shower.
"Hello," I said, "Is Eyeball home?"
"Yeah. He's upstairs. Second door on the left."
"Thank you," I said eager to get away from him.
I went upstairs and knocked on the door. No answer. I knocked again. Still no answer. "Fuck this," I said and opened the door.
Eyeball was lying in bed with no shirt, apparently sleeping. But he wasn't alone. There was a girl with blonde hair lying next to him, her head on his chest. He had his arm around her.
I just starred at them. I didn't know what to do. Wake him up? But I didn't have to decide, because the girl had woken up and was looking at me.
"Who the hell are you," she practically screamed? "Why are you in here?"
"I.uhh.I." Eyeball had woken up. He turned on the light next to his bed.
"Who are you talking to Andrea," he asked the girl? She pointed at me. He looked at me.
"Gloria.this isn't what it looks like. We were just.uhh.she needed help with Algebra." He tried to make up an excuse.
"Oh fuck you Eyeball," I said. "No wonder you and Ace are best friends.." I was so fed up with this movie. I just wanted to go home. "I hate this town, I hate this time period. I hate this fucking movie and the goddamn people in it! They couldn't of put me in the Breakfast Club? Or Sixteen Candles? Jesus fucking Christ, The Lost Boys would have been better then this. At least they drove motorcycles in that movie. I mean it's not like I asked to be here," I said looking up at the ceiling, talking to whoever was responsible for me being here. Eyeball and the girl just stared at me. I know I wasn't making any sense to them, but I was beyond caring. I think I had finally just cracked up.
"Stop staring at me god dammit," I said. "Please continue with what you were doing." I walked out and slammed the door. I started to walk away, but I turned around and opened the door one more time. "And you know what? Your brother is hotter then you'll ever be." I knew it was childish and didn't really make much sense to tell him that, but I didn't care. I opened the door one more time. "And by the way.fuck you," I said and shut the door for what I hoped was the last time.
I walked out of the house and sat down on the curb. God! How could I have been so stupid? I wasn't even that upset about Eyeball sleeping with another girl. I mean that didn't bother me at all. I was just fed up with everything. I just wanted to go home where things made sense, and guys wore pants that went past their ankles, and people didn't look at you like you had 6 boobs when you wore a Jim Morrison T-shirt.
Just as I thought things couldn't get any worse, it started to rain. Then it started to pour.
"Are you punishing me God!" I yelled into the sky. "What did I ever do to you! You know what I think God?" I gave the sky the middle finger and as if in reply it started thundering and lightening.
I just sat there, my head buried in my hands, wishing that I were somewhere else. I don't know how long I sat there, but it must have been a while. It finally stopped raining, but I didn't move. I didn't know how to get back to the house, and I wasn't wondering around forever looking for it.
I sat there, waiting for something to happen. And then it did.
"Are you okay," I heard someone ask? I didn't want to look up.
"Maybe she's deaf," another person said. "Are you deaf," the boy screamed in my ear.
"I am now," I said not looking at whoever it was.
"Teddy you're an idiot."
"No, seriously are you okay," the boy asked again. I looked up at him, and suddenly things didn't seem so bad anymore. It was Chris. I mean he was cute in the movie, but it must have been a few summers after the movie took place, because now he was gorgeous. He had eyes that were so pretty it was absurd. He had gotten taller and his shoulders were broader. And he was tan. And had nice hair.and I could go on forever about how good looking this guy was (but I won't).
"Uhh.yeah. Sure. Well no. Not really. Well maybe. I don't know," I said.
He laughed. "Well which is it," he asked?
"Yeah. I'll be fine. Thanks."
"Are you sure," Gordie asked? "I mean no offense but you look a little.umm.sad."
"Yeah, well shit happens," I said.
"That it does. But can I ask you a question," Chris asked?
"You just did," I said. I hated when people ask if they can ask you a question. But it was Chris so I figured I'd let it slide. "Go head," I sighed.
"Why are you sitting on the curb in front of my house in the rain," he asked?
"Umm.I didn't feel like walking to find a bench," I said?
"Are you new here," Teddy interrupted? "I haven't seen you around."
"Yeah. Well I've been here for a few days. I was kinda friends with Chris's brother. Which was a big mistake by the way because then he had sex with this girl. And then Ace tried to rape me. Well actually Ace tried to rape me then, I found your brother in bed with some girl. But it's not like we were going out or anything so it didn't bother me that much. And now I just want to go home and go to sleep, but I can't find home," I said it as if it was one long sentence. They just stared at me. God I was sounding stupider by the second.
"And I do not know for the life of me why I just told you all that," I said laughing nervously.
"I'm sorry for yelling in your ear," was Teddy's reply.
"It's okay." Chris offered me his hand to help me up. I took it and stood up. My pants were dirty and I was soaked.
"Well, thanks for listening to my lame ass story. I'm gonna try to find my house now," I said practically running away from them. "God I wish I were dead," I mumbled to myself.
"We can't just let her walk around aimlessly looking for her house," I heard Gordie say.
"Gordie's right guys," Chris said. "Hey. Umm.wait up," Chris said running a little to catch up with me. "Let us try and help you find your house."
"Uhh. that's nice of you to offer but you don't have to," I said.
"No really. We want to. Right guys," he said.
"Yeah. Sincerely," said Teddy.
"Yeah. We don't mind," said Vern. "Right Gordie?"
"Nope not all," he said smiling.
"And it's not like we're gonna let a hot girl like you walk around after dark all by your self," Teddy said.
"Shut up Teddy. Sorry," Chris said apologetically. "He was dropped on his head as a child. Multiple times. So what'd you say? Let us help you find your house," he said smiling. He sounded so sweet and god he was so hot.
"Alright," I said. "Oh I'm Gloria by the way. And I'm sorry for acting like such a spaz before," I said. "I've just a bad day. A really bad day."
"I know what those are like. You don't have to apologize. Oh and I'm Chris, this is Vern, Gordie, and Teddy," he introduced all each of them.
"Okay.thanks," I added. Walking along the street with Chris and the rest of the guys, things didn't seem so bad. Why couldn't I have just met them first?
***Whoa that chapter was long.sorry guys!..thanks for the review Britt!.Eyeball will probably redeem himself later in the story, cause I kinda like him. But now that we have Chris and all those guys, things might get a little bit better for Gloria, I mean how could you be sad around a guy that looks like River Phoenix?.lol R/R please.thanks!***
