I remember that time. Eyeball came to my house when no one was in. We had the place to ourselves for a while.
I brought him to my room and he was laughing because I was a bit embarrassed about my posters.
He was teasing me and I said "Well you have to admit; they are gorgeous."
To which he replied, "I wouldn't know anything about that but I guess they must be if you like 'em."
That confused me when he said that, so he said, "Well I know you've got good taste so..."
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"Well you love me don't ya? So you obviously have good taste."
I avoided answering his question by saying, "And what makes you so sure that I would love you?"
I got a typical Eyeball answer, "Well I'm a lovable guy!"
So it wasn't anything spectacular, like he didn't say he loved me, but he used the 'L' word and the expression on his face seemed to give away that he wanted me to say that I did love him; to make him feel wanted and loved. That meant a lot to me because it was the closest we ever were to a real couple and the closest I ever felt to being truly loved.
I really think Eyeball's family explains a lot about him. His father is an alcoholic who beats up on his kids a hell of a lot and his mother doesn't care; she's too busy with her lovers. His brother Frank ran away and ended up in jail for rape, his little brothers at the ages of 10 and 6 are already mean and they lie, cheat and steal. The little girl won't have a good start in life either but maybe she will turn out good. His other brother is 14 and he is real nice and real smart. I like him; I think he'll make somethin' of himself. Of course, him and Eyeball hate each other. Eyeball thinks he's a pussy.
That means Eyeball only has me and we're meant to have a purely physical relationship. It doesn't help that no one can know. Andrea knowing doesn't help either. She will just make it hard for Eyeball. She doesn't understand him. She just thinks he is a low life because every time you see him he has either a cigarette or drink in his hand, but he has potential. He just needs a chance.
A/N: Hope this formatting is better. So what do y'all think?
