Chapter 30 – Bowling (I am back again finally. My life is in shambles so
it has become very hard to even think about writing. I'm writing this
chapter now in hopes it will motivate me. I just hope it is ok. My aunt
is at home. She can't walk and needs help all the time but she is at home
and in the end that is all that matters. Thank you guys so much you are so
wonderful and I truly enjoy your words. It truly means so much to me.
All my thanks, all my love,
James)
Larry lined up his shot and released yet another gutter ball. Ethan and Gordo laughed as Larry had thrown many of them already that night.
"Have I mentioned how stupid this game really is?" He griped has he retrieved his ball to make another attempt at hitting a pin, any pin.
"Only about a hundred times tonight. Come on Larry this is fun." Gordo laughed and smiled at his obviously frustrated friend.
"I don't know why you like it so much. You're just as bad at this as I am." Larry pointed out as he released his ball again this time hitting one pin.
"Yeah I know I suck at this. I just don't let it bother me anymore," Gordo responded as he got up from his seat and began to search for his bowling ball. Upon finding it he prepared for his shot. "You just accept not being good at it is all," he added as he threw the ball down the lane hitting two pins.
"Easy for you to say. This game is still stupid. Captain Picard never went bowling." Larry responded as he watched his friend wait on his ball to come back.
"No he went hollo-bowling. Didn't you see that episode?" He joked as he launched his ball at the pins. This time he actually knocked them all down and picked up the spare.
"Whoa hollo-bowling? Can we do that next week?" Ethan inquired.
"There isn't really hollo-bowling Ethan. It was just a joke...never mind." Larry told him as he chuckled underneath his breath. Ethan shook his head as he got up and readied himself for his turn.
"Why couldn't Danny come again?" Ethan asked Larry as he let his ball go hitting all but the right corner pin.
"He is doing something with his parents tonight. Visiting an aunt or something like that." Larry answered.
"Oh yeah that's right. So how do you like dating him?" he questioned as he rolled his ball down the bowling lane picking up his spare.
Larry pondered his answer for a minute before smiling and telling them, "Its great. He's really sweet to me."
Larry had admitted being Bisexual to Gordo a couple of months earlier. Gordo was nothing but supportive upon hearing the news. Larry had become friend with Danny through his connections with Ethan. One night while both Gordo and Ethan were busy with their respective girlfriends, Larry and Danny discovered there was more to their relationship than just being friends. After discussing it with each other and Gordo telling them that there was nothing wrong with what they were feeling, Danny and Larry had become a couple. They had Ethan in on the secret a few days ago. No one but Gordo and Ethan knew about them being bi or them being together.
"Well I'm glad somebody's love life is going well," Gordo stated as Larry hit a few pins.
"Any news on "As Lizzie, David, and Miranda turns"?" Larry wondered trying to be light hearted about it.
Gordo laughed before responding with, "No, still haven't talked to either of them. I just don't what to say or do."
"I talked to Miranda and Kate talked to Lizzie," Ethan informed them.
"And?" Gordo demanded as he sat down after throwing two gutter balls.
"Lizzie feels betrayed. She is confused. She is mad at Miranda for trying to steal you and she just doesn't understand why would want to leave her for Miranda." He answered flatly and honestly.
"What about Miranda?" Larry asked as Ethan scored a strike.
"Miranda is upset cause she thinks she has messed everything up. Its like she is trying to figure everything out but the only thing she knows for sure is how she feels about you. Oh, and she can tell you love her too. Neither her nor Lizzie seemed to think they know what you are going to decide to do." Ethan told his friend.
"That's good because I don't have a clue what I am going to do. I've known Lizzie for so long and I love her to death but there is this connection I have with Miranda." he admitted.
"You need to decide something David. I mean if you don't then it's not fair to Miranda or Lizzie." Larry added.
"I know. I'm going to have a talk with both of them, separately. Tell them what's going on in my head. Maybe that will help me make up my mind." Gordo remarked honestly.
"Good luck dude. I just hope that neither one kills you," Ethan joked.
"Nah, they wont kill him. Hurt him really badly maybe but not kill him. Hey, if they do then we will visit you in hospital. Seriously, good luck." Larry added with a hand on Gordo's shoulder.
"Thanks guys. Hey what's the score?" Gordo inquired.
"Lets see, I have 51, Gordo has 25 and the natural himself right here has 8." Ethan answered looking at the scorecard and smiling.
"Oh yeah, "Can't miss Tudgeman" you're up." Gordo informed Larry as he laughed.
"Oh shut up!" Larry barked as he tried to restrain a laugh of his own. He then relaxed and rolled his ball into the gutter again.
