Chapter 4:
Everyone got home around three in the morning, but the day wasn't over for one of them. Instead of going to sleep like the others, Kerry snuck out of Teddy's house, first making sure that Teddy was out cold.
Remembering where Chris lived from when they dropped him off earlier, she ran to his house. Kerry was wearing black shorts and a green shirt she borrowed from Teddy. Her white keds tapped along the road as she ran. Just outside Chris' house, she fixed her hair and took off her glasses. These looked identical to her white ones, except these had black frames to match her shorts. She searched for the window of Chris' room, and found that he was lying awake in his bed. She smiled and tapped on the window. Chris, startled, looked over to the window to see the person he was thinking of, appear at his house. He opened the window and she climbed in, not saying a word.
"What are you doing here?" Chris asked.
"I came to see you silly." She said while closing his window and placing her glasses on Chris' desk.
"I know that. But what about Teddy?"
"What about him?"
"Kerry, he likes you, a lot, and I think that..."
"What? You think we should be together right?"
"Well yeah."
"I don't like Teddy, but I like you."
"Kerry, I like you too but..."
"Good, then whats the problem?"
"I just can't do this to Teddy. He's one of my best friends, I can't betray him like this." She looked down solemnly. Then looked straight into his eyes. She was real close to him, their bodies almost touching.
"I don't want to hurt Teddy, but I can't help who I like."
"So, what are you going to do then?"
"What Teddy doesn't know, won't hurt him..."
Kerry touched her lips to Chris'. Sharing a passionate yet regretful kiss, Chris placed his hands on the sides of Kerry's face. They released, and stared into each other's eyes. Unsure about everything, they kissed again and again. Kerry and Chris locked lips all night long, until they fell asleep in Chris' bed, innocently.
Chris opened his eyes to see Kerry lying next to him, still asleep. He quietly went into his kitchen, and poured himself a glass of orange juice. Eyeball was sitting at the table, eating breakfast.
"Who's the broad?" Eyeball asked, shoving a spoonful of cereal into his mouth.
"How do you..."
"I saw her come into your room last night. She's cute." Chris sat down across from his brother.
"Eyeball, that's Kerry."
"Eww." Eyeball said quickly.
"Shut up."
"Isn't she with that four-eyed fagot you hang out with?"
"Teddy? No, but he likes her."
"And she likes you?"
"No, she just came into my house at four in the morning to borrow a cup of sugar."
"If it wasn't early, I'd hit you for that."
"What time is it anyway?"
"Noon."
"Oh yeah real early Eyeball..."
"So, what did your little girlfriend stay over last night?"
"Yeah..." Chris sighed, moving his hands through his hair.
"So she is your girlfriend?"
"No, no. We just like each other, but I can't go out with her because Teddy likes her."
"Big fuckin' deal. If you like her and she's hot, then do her." "Thanks Eyeball, you've been real helpful." Chris responded sarcastically.
"Well, last night, did you... ya know?"
"What the hell? Of course I didn't! I already told you that one of my best friends likes her. I'm not going to sleep with her. Eyeball, you are terrible, do you treat women like that?'
"How am I suppose to treat 'em?"
"Oh my god, my brother is crap. He is a worthless asshole, and a crappy person."
"When was the last time I decked you?"
"Um... Last night, I think."
"You're overdue..." Eyeball smacked Chris hard in the back of the head.
"Ow! Can you please kick my ass later? Today is going to be hell..."
"Alright chicken-shit, I'm feeling generous today." He said grabbing Chris' arm, and forcing him to his feet.
"Oh how kind of you."
"Your welcome, now, go and get some ass." He said laughing and pushed Chris out of the kitchen.
"My brother is an asshole..." Chris mumbled to himself.
"Oh, dip-shit," Eyeball called. "Timmy or Tommy, whatever his name is. He called before, says he can't find Kerry... He said, if you see her, don't fuck her, just bring her by the tree house." Eyeball smiled. He had to put his own little twist to everything.
"Shit!" Chris whispered.
"Personally, I think you should go for it." Disgusted with his brother, Chris walked to his room. He closed the door and kept his back towards his bed. "Don't be stupid Chris. She's Teddy's, she's Teddy's, she's Teddy's. Just get out while you can..." Chris whispered to himself with his eyes closed.
"Hey you..." Kerry said, as Chris turned around so fast he almost gave himself a whiplash.
"Uh, um, hi..." He said nervously. Kerry stood up and walked over to him slowly. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him lightly.
"What time is it?" She asked. "About noon. We should be meeting the guys at the tree house. Teddy's looking for you..." Kerry sighed in disappointment at the sound of her best friend's name.
"Teddy's always looking for me..."
"Kerry," He started, and removed her arms from his neck. "I think we should stop this. I just can't, and I need you to respect that..." Kerry sighed again in disappointment.
"Fine. Teddy always said you were the sensible one."
"Hey, I've been known to be somewhat bad. After all, Eyeball is the only influence on me."
"Uh huh, my guess is that the worst thing you've ever done, was stolen that money from school. Am I right? Oh yeah, you're a real outlaw Chris..." She giggled with a smile.
"Hey, I'm getting there." He smiled.
"Yeah well, I better get going before Teddy puts out a town search team for me." She flashed a brilliant smile that made Chris' knees weaken. Then she kissed him one last time, and crawled out his window. Chris sighed and could only trust that he was doing the right thing. Kerry came back to his window, to say one last thing.
"Chris, you have no idea what you're missing..." She said teasingly, then left for good. Chris moaned and collapsed on his bed. I'm insane! Just fuckin' crazy! I'm probably the only guy in the world who'd be as stupid as I was just now!
"I hope Eyeball comes in and shoots me..." He said to himself.
