The Cobras Save The Day???
***Alright, the Cobra's make an appearance in this chapter, but it has to be said that before you read this, I do not intend to make this a Cobra's story. I like it the way it's going. And there isn't gonna be any romance between Eyeball and Gloria, at least not from Gloria's end. I like her with Chris, but I wanted them to have one last appearance. Sure they're shit, and they suck and they're mean.....and blah blah, but I think deep down Eyeball is an okay guy, who really does have the capacity to feel some sort of feelings for Gloria. Ace is a dick, but I didn't want them to go out on such bad terms. I figured they should have at least one good deed under their belt. This will also lead up to some sort of.....disagreement, between Chris and Gloria. But that means kissing and making up....yay for kissing River Phoenix..... So don't flame me!!....R/R Thanks!***
Around 5, the boys started to get restless. You could tell they wanted to go somewhere, and it was Teddy who suggested the Diner and maybe see a movie later.
We left Vern's just as the sun was in the first stages of setting. We walked towards the horizon, which is really just a trick of the eye, that disappears as you get closer to it.
We shared a cigarette as we walked to the Diner, which wasn't that far. When we got there, we were quickly seated, and ordered our food. Five hamburgers, 7 sodas, and three milk shakes. I told them it was my treat. We ate and were done by 7.
We stepped out of the Diner and it was almost dark, but not quite. The sky was still a mix of brilliant oranges and yellows.
I lit 2 cigarettes and passed one to Chris as we walked along to the movie theater. The other's had walked slightly ahead, leaving me and Chris to talk by ourselves.
"So what do you think of them," he asked, his eyes full of concern.
"They're really great guys, Chris. A little weird, especially Teddy," I added laughing.
"Yeah. Weird doesn't really describe Teddy. I don't think there is a word to describe Teddy," agreed Chris.
"Seriously though, I like them."
"More then you like me," he asked feigning a pout.
"Obviously. That's why I spend my time kissing them, instead of you," I said sarcastically.
"I knew it," he replied, taking my hand and kissing it gently. "No, but I'm glad you like them. Your opinion means a lot to me. And it's always good when my girlfriend likes my friends. Makes things less complicated," he explained.
I was happy for two reasons. One he said my opinion meant something to him. Which was always a plus. And he had called me his girlfriend. It was the first time, and hopefully not the last, he called me that. I liked the way it sounded, and I told him.
"Your right," he agreed. "It does have a nice ring to it. Hello, this is Gloria, my girlfriend."
"Or have you seen that girl Gloria. She's Chris's girlfriend," I said laughing.
"Yep. Sounds good to me," he said squeezing my hand.
We walked for a few moments in silence, and then out of no where a car pulled up next to us. There were about 4 or five guys in the car, and they got out, and stepped in front of us.
They were tough looking guys, and if I didn't know better I would say they were Cobras. But none of them looked remotely familiar.
"Excuse me," I said with strained politeness.
"I don't think so," said one of the guys snidely.
"Please move," Chris said forcefully.
"Umm.......no," said another guy with greasy black hair.
The other boys had turned around to see why we had stopped.
"Let me through," Chris said sternly.
"Go head," he said making a sweeping gesture with his arm. Me and Chris started to walk past him, but he grabbed me by the arm, separating me from Chris.
"Let go of her," Chris practically yelled.
He was holding onto me pretty tight, and was hurting my arm.
"No way man. She's too hot to be walking around with a guy like you. She needs a real man. Isn't that right sweetie," he asked leaning closer into my ear. He smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
"Do you want me to puke," I asked?
"Of course not."
"Then let me go," I yelled.
"Come on, just let her go," Teddy chimed in.
"Ohh look, it's the four eyed freak here to save the day," one of them quipped.
"Let her go. I don't want any trouble," Chris said, the eternal peace maker that he was.
"I don't think so, asshole," was the guy's reply. He then pulled out a knife and pulled me towards him, wrapping his arm around my neck and, putting the knife against my throat.
"Please, just let me go," I begged.
"Not on your life baby cakes," he said. The sound of his voice made me want to puke. I would have taken Ace over this guy any day. At least Ace wasn't dirty, and certainly wouldn't call me baby cakes.
Chris started walking towards us, but before he could get close enough to do anything the guy said "Any closer and I'll slit her throat." Chris immediately stopped dead in his tracks.
"Please just let her go, and we'll forget this whole thing ever happened."
"Are you gonna take her from me," the guy asked teasingly?
Before he could even answer, a familiar voice came out of no where. I never thought I'd be glad to hear it, but I was.
"Let her go, you dirty fuck." I looked up and I saw Eyeball, standing there, with Ace, Billy, Charlie, and Fuzzy. I was actually so happy to see them I almost cried.
Ace and Eyeball already had their knives out.
"Now, your gonna put the knife down, let her go, and then we're going to beat the shit out of you," Ace said calmly but forcefully. It was the same tone both Gordie and I had used on him.
"Oh if it isn't the leader, of the Cobra's, Ace fucking Merrill. And his peanut gallery. To scared to take me alone Ace?"
"Not on your life, Curtis. This has absolutely nothing to do with her and you fucking know it. Now drop the knife and leave her the fuck alone."
He started to move closer, Eyeball and Billy next to him.
"Drop the fucking knife, Curtis," Eyeball screamed, lacking the tone Ace possessed.
"You're out numbered, Curtis. Look at the situation carefully, your not gonna win, so just drop the knife."
Curtis looked from me to Ace, to his gang, and back to me. I wasn't gonna wait for him to make a decision. I scratched his eye, making him lose his grip on me. I ran to Eyeball, once again not the brother I was expecting, but he was closest.
Eyeball hugged me tightly, and I wasn't expecting comfort, but it was surprisingly what I felt. Ace had obviously scarred the guys off and was walking towards us.
"Shhh.....it's okay. Your fine. They're gone," Eyeball soothed. I wasn't crying, but was shaking pretty bad. Eyeball removed his jacket and placed it on my shoulders. I was too tired and shocked to comprehend what had just happened.
All I could manage, was something that sounded like thank you, before I collapsed into Eyeball's arms, resting my head on his shoulder.
Through blurry eyes, I saw Chris sulk away, in shock. He started walking alone, towards his house. I came to my senses and realized he must feel like shit. First, he couldn't defend me, and had to rely on his big brother, who he despises, to do it. And then instead of running to him, I run to Eyeball like a complete moron.
God I'm so fucking retarded I thought. Just when things were going perfectly, I take the first chance I get to fuck it up royally. Nice going I thought. I was recovering from the shock quickly and pulled away from Eyeball.
"I......uhh....thanks....sorry. I have to go," I flung his jacket at him, and ran towards Chris.
"Gloria," I heard Eyeball yell, but I ignored it. Great I thought. Eyeball just saves my life and I blow him off. And Chris is mad at me, with good reasoning. But I decided not to think about Eyeball, and concentrate on apologizing to Chris as I ran towards him.
***Okie, that was the Chapter. Hope you liked it. R/R!!.....and sorry if you didn't like it, but I'll make up for hurting Chris's feelings in the next couple of chapters. And as always thanks for the reviews!***
