Author's Note(s): I, Louise, am to blame for this chapter's delay...you may now throw your rocks and pointy objects at me...

#Wendy: So, we meet again#

"I didn't think things would turn out like this, Rors, I'm sorry." I tried my best to make piece. I looked into the medicine cabinet and grabbed the painkillers that I knew she was looking for. I held them out to her in my open palm.

"Just...leave me alone...okay?" She snatched them from me.

I walked past her, I stopped at the door that lead to the hallway, and turned to her. "Now you know how it feels to have nothing." I walked out of the kitchen and then out of the house.

Okay. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. But she just makes me so angry. She's had everything since we've moved here while I had nothing and I put up with it. But now that the tables are turned, I'm supposed to feel sorry for her when she never showed me any empathy? Fuck that.

On the other hand, I was used to being a loner before we moved to Castle Rock, Rory wasn't, she had always been popular.

I walked down the drive. I needed to talk to someone. I couldn't talk to Ace, things were okay between me and him, and things had just begun in a way. I couldn't just go there and complain and unload my problems on him. Today had been confusing enough for both of us.

The only other person that was involved and could understand was Eyeball. He'd upset Rory, so maybe he was the one who could put things right. I had to go and talk to him. Well, complain in front of him and hope he sympathizes with me. And hope he makes things right between him and Rory.

I was half way to the Chambers' resident the next time I looked at my watch, which was pointless since it was getting dark, and I couldn't see a thing unless the light from someone's house was bright enough to reach me.

When I got there and knocked on the door, Chris answered.

"Okay, first Rory looked like crap and now you do. What's going on at your place?" Charming isn't he?

"We got in a fit," I could feel the tears begin to fall, from the anger and guilt. "It's never been this bad before." I sobbed into his shoulder.

He was a bit tense, probably embarrassed that I was crying, or hugging him, or because his other friends were watching us from the other room. Oops...

I pushed myself off of him and he gave me a sympathetic pat on the back. I recognised Gordie from the group of boys around the table with cards in their hands. I didn't recognise the other two.

"I actually came to see Eyeball, is he in?"

"I don't think you want to see him, he's not doing good." Chris said, rubbing his forehead.

"It'll only take a few minutes," I found a tissue in my pocket and started to dry my face.

"Okay, if he attacks you with a boot...don't say I didn't warn you." He walked back into the other room where his friends were and closed the door behind him.

I walked up the stairs and found Eyeball's room to my right; I pressed my ear to the door. Nothing, it was deadly silently. I knocked on the door gently.

"Chris! I already told you! Leave me the fuck alone!" Came the reply.

I stuffed the tissue back in my pocket, "...uh...Eyeball, it's me, Wendy." I said calmly as I turned the doorknob.

He was laid sideways on his bed, his back to me, "What do you want?"

I looked around his room, things were everywhere. "I wanted to make sure you were okay?" Okay. A slight lie. I wanted to unload my pain onto him, but I'm not entirely selfish.

He had turned around on his bed and was watching me look at his room in disgust.

"I didn't think she'd hurt you this much." I sighed as my eyes crept to see what treasures the ceiling held.

"My room's normally like this." Eeewwwww.......

I sat down on the side of his bed and patted his arm. I wasn't entirely good at touching or comforting people.

"She's still in love with Ace." He looked at me; I could tell that he had been crying.

Rory was still in love with Ace? Did Ace still love Rory? Piss. Piss. Piss. I started to cry. I needed to cry. Eyeball sat up and hugged me, I clung to him.

"You know, that time we kissed?" Eyeball asked. I wondered where he was going with this. What would I do if he tried something? Apart from panic...

"Yeah," I answered back slowly, as if it'd delay what happened next.

"Let's just forget about it."

The door burst open. It was Ace. "What the fuck is going on here?" I noticed veins pumping in his temples and his neck was getting red. And why not? His girlfriend was hugging his best friend.

"Ace, nothing is going on, I just got a little upset, that's the only reason we were hugging." I tried to explain but he ripped me from Eyeball.

"I was outside, I heard about the kiss." Fury and rage were dancing in his eyes. I could almost feel my skin turn white. I became breathless and weak, I couldn't move.

Eyeball had stood up behind me and was talking about how 'it meant nothing' and 'it was a mistake'. Ace's eye's flashed to him. I suddenly felt dizzy and faint, Ace had let go of me.

I turned slowly and all I saw was Eyeball fall to the floor, Ace had punched him and I saw the glint of his switchblade.

I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't, my eyes closed and I heard someone else's voice. Rory's.

She was running up the stairs and yelling. "I may still look like shit. But I need to talk to you!" The door opened, I leaned against the wall and looked at her shocked face as she saw our boyfriends on the floor. "What the fuck is going on?" She turned to me.
