Ch.5 Washed away
A few days had passed since the party, the only thing Aimee would say about it was that she had fun, Joslyn said it sucked and Myles would just shrug and walk away.
"Anyone notice Myles' eyes? Don't they look bloodshot?" Cassy whispered more-so to Nathan, Rachel, Alec, Brianna, Kara and Wes. Aimee was in her own little dream world, just sitting there dazed, and Joslyn never cared too much for talking about Myles. "He proabably stayed up studying all night like I did" Rachel sighed and leaned over onto Kara's shoulder, Kara laughed and cradled her head "Aww, my baby's so tired...Oh, yeah, you feelin' better, Bri?". All eyes turned to Bri as she fidgeted uncomfortably, "Why? What was wrong with Bri? Bri, what's Kara talkin' about?" Rachel sat up and focused her concerned eyes on her friend.
Brianna sat there fidgeting 'What do I say!?', before she could utter her own lie, Kara spoke up "She got sick at my house, my dad's really sorry about that still..." Kara looked over, making Brianna silently feel worse. "Yeah, I'm feeling better...so, Wes, how's T.J. doin'? She's how old now?" Brianna quickly changed the subject before anymore questions were asked. Wes shrugged "She's fine, three years old now...", "Aww, you and your family coming to the game next week?" Cassy grinned, "Game?" Wes asked.
Kara choked on her drink and blinked at him like he had just grown three heads "You can't be serious!" she sputtered. Rachel nodded her head "Honestly, Wes...this game is THE game, our team vs. our biggest arch enemies! The evilist of evil!" she now placed her hands on the table and stood up. Cassy joined her, standing next to her and held a fist towards her heart "This is the game to end all games...it will be the game to determine our destinies! Our futures!". Kara crossed her arms "It's the game that I'm gonna kick Alison Blaire's ass at!", the whole table started to laugh now. "Oooh, right...that game!" Wes snickered "Umm, I'm sure I can talk my folks into going...", the three girls tackled him "Yay!".
It had almost been an entire week and Todd still hadn't gotten around to convincing Kara to go out to lunch with her mother. "Why not just tell her to go?" Pietro shrugged, Todd was over at Pietro and Tabby's place to get their opinion on this whole matter. "I can't force her to go! Man, I just don't know what to say to her..." Todd was pacing in their living room, Pietro watched semi-amused "You try to be a good parent, or did it just come naturally?". Todd sighed and smiled "I just do what I think is right, I see what makes her happy and go with the flow I guess...Why? You nervous you wont be a good dad?". Pietro shrugged "Eh, I got you as an example, I'll work with that until I find the flow between me and my son".
Tabitha giggled then struggled with trying to move on the couch, "Need help up, honey?" Pietro walked over with his hands out to her. "No, it's just..." she tried to move again "The baby fell asleep on this one side and I'm having trouble trying to move him", the right side of her stomache was noticably larger, showing where the baby was inside. Todd casually walked over and tickled the right side of her stomache and within seconds, the baby inside shifted his position, making it easier for her to move. Pietro stared for a second, as did Tabitha, Pietro then chuckled and shook his head "I'll have to remember that one next time...", Todd nodded and laughed "Oh, believe me, there are many other tricks you'll need to know!".
It was soccar practice again, Kara was participating this time, having found her shorts in her backpack, which she needed to clean out much like her locker. Joslyn was calling out the strategies, Kara did some power kicks from the opposite side of the field, should anyone from the opposing team make their way towards the goal with the soccar ball. Aimee was sitting out this practice, she said she fell down at the party and her legs hurt too much for her to practice. Myles was out of sight, he didn't have Science Club today, but he was picked up by some older kids, most likely some of the high schoolers from the party, and drove off somewhere.
Brianna wasn't there either, she said she had stuff to do, everyone just shrugged and waved her bye as she ran home. It wasn't until after practice that any conversation worth while started up, mainly starting when Aimee was picked up by a pretty hot high school boy. "Oh, wow! Is that mom and dad's old friends' son?" Rachel's eyes widened, Nathan looked over "I think so..." he looked back at his sister then smirked "I thought only dog's could drool that much". Everyone snickered then busted out laughing as Rachel red bright red in the face and pushed Nathan backwards on the blechers, making him land on the next bench down with his legs sticking up in the air.
Alec and Cassy left to start walking home, Mr.Wagner then pulled up and hinked his horn, he looked slighly pissed off for some reason. Wes got up "Later guys!" he went to leave when Rachel and Kara grabbed him from either side, "So, you'll ask your parents to go to the game next week, right?". Wes looked back and forth between the two girl then over at his father "Uh, yeah...of course...", the two girls hugged him then waved happily over to Mr.Wagner, who only seemed to notice Rachel. Wes quickly got inside the car and his father took off with his hands gripping the wheel and his eyes focused and narrowed on the road.
The entire car ride was silent, Wes looked around nervously at his father 'At least he didn't say anything mean to Kara or Joslyn...' he thought with hardly any relief. They arrived at their house and walked inside, the second Kurt locked the door he grabbed his son by the arm and turned him around to face him. "What was that!?", Wes' eyes widened at the unsual way his fathre was acting, never in his life had his father ever sounded so furious, let alone touched his kids in a threatening manner. Wes' mouth opened and closed, he was confused as to what to say, though he knew what upset his father 'They're my friends...why can't I just stand up to him and say that!?'.
Kurt narrowed his eyes at his son "I told you to stay away from them!" his voice boomed, Amanda walked into the room with a now crying Thalia Josefine, T.J., Wes' little sister. "Kurt! What is going on!?" Amanda quickly set T.J. down and pulled her son away from her husbands grasp, Kurt rubbed at his temples "You should've seen in that filth! Is that what you want people to think of you!? Think that you're poor white trash like Kara? A juvenile delinquent like Lance?". Wes blinked confusedly at his father 'Who's Lance?', Amanda narrowed her eyes at her husband and went off on him before he realized his mistake "Quit putting your childhood grudges on your son! And how dare you talk about Kara being poor white trash! Todd works hard to take care of her on his own!".
Wes grabbed T.J. and ran to his room and locked the door, he crawled onto his bed with his sister in his arms and rocked back and forth to calm her down from their parents arguement. 'They've never fought like this before...' Wes continued rocking his sister and stroked her hair 'This is all my fault...this is all because I'm friends with them...' he winced as he heard his parents tones grow louder. He looked down to see that T.J. had fallen asleep "You got things lucky, kid...you don't have any friends for dad to yell at you about..." he laughed bitterly then layed her down and crawled back off his bed. He heard a door from within the house slam shut and thought it was safe to leave his room, the second he rounded the corner he was met with his dad glaring at him with narrowed yellow eyes.
"You think it's alright to be their friend?" Kurt asked, his voice was cold but somehow it sounded sad as well, Wes just stared at his father, unsure of what to say or do. "You don't understand, son...they're filthy, dirty, lying, stealing scum..." Kurt shook his head, his voice was shakey now as tears started to well up in his eyes. Wes wanted to run, go get his mom or something, but when he looked at his father he felt compelled to hug him like he used to when he was younger and make thing all better, like it always used to work. He took a step forward, his hand reached out "Dad, I know that you're mad at my friends parents, but that doesn't mean-" he didn't even finish what he was saying, Kurt snatched his arm and dragged him towards the bathroom.
"I knew it! You don't understand! Don't you dare ever try to tell me you know when you don't even know what you're talking about! Clean that filth off of you and never see them again!" Kurt threw Wes inside and held the door shut. Wes fell ungracefully and bumped his head on the side of the tub, he jumped to his feet and found he couldn't open the door, so he locked it instead 'If I can't get out, then I'm not letting him in!'. He looked around the bathroom, he was pissed off now as he practically ripped his clothes off his body andcrashed himself into the shower, the water was on steaming hot.
'Don't understand? Gee, I wonder why I don't understand, DAD! You don't tell me shit! You got a problem with my friends? Tough!' Wes' mental image with each bitter thought was of him punching his father. 'Think I'm gonna stop being their friend 'cause you say so? No!' he harshly scrubbed at his skin, making it turn pink and raw 'What? Jealous that their families like them? That why you don't like their fathers?'. Wes was now shampooing his hair, his fingernails scraping his scalp almost to the point of bleeding 'They're not trash! They're no delinquents!' he reached up the grab the conditioner but something cut his hand when he reached up. He winced and ran his hand under the hot spray of water before looking up to see a razor, an idea came into his mind 'Iknow, I'll make myself a freak in his eyes! Haha! I'll pretend to be a crossdresser or soemthing! See who's kid's a freak then!'.
Taking the razor, he rinsed off some blood that was on it from his hand and started to shave his legs, of course, he had never done this before and kept nicking himself. "Ow!" he had nicked his right leg for the seventh time 'Stupid! Freakin'! Razor!' he mentally scolded the razor and whacked at his legs with it, causing light pink slits to appear across his thighs. He narrowed his eyes and watched the smallest drop of blood fall from one of the slits before it closed up from the pressure and hot water, leaving behind the smallest pink lines. He curiously hacked away at his left leg, each time it hurt less and less, a wicked smirked played on his lips 'Yes, we'll see what kind of freak you have dad!' he silently laughed as he danced the razor across his arms next.
Brianna had been checking her weight and her size by trying on the clothes her mother had gotten her before, the better they went on the more weight she was losing. It was becoming hard to sneak to the bathroom after meals, though, and she had only just started, so she started to alternate her new 'diet'. She would eat breakfast then puke it back up before she went to school, she would skip lunch all together and during her next class she would excuse herself to use the bathroom, then at dinner she would eat really fast, run around the house then go to the bathroom and puke. Any snack she ate, she puked, 'I'll be thin enough in another week or so...maybe I should puke before bed...' she thought as she stared at the clothes with a smile.
Kara was brought over to see her Uncle Pietro and Aunt Tabitha, she of course went straight to her unborn cousin and cooed through her Aunt's tummy "Hello, baby! I can't wait until you're born! I bet you'll be so cute!". Pietro nudged Todd, the amphibious father coughed, catching his daughter's attention "Kara...what would you say if your mother asked to have lunch with you...this weekend?". "NO, absolutly not!" Kara jumped up and narrowed her eyes at her father, Todd held his hands up defensivly "Please, Kara, I'm begging you...you're mother has something she really wants, no, needs to tell you...". "What? I already know about her planning on marrying Pyro, the captain of assholes!" Kara barked, Pietro helped his wife up and out of the room so they could figure this out on their own.
"No, that's not it..." Todd defended, "Then what?" Kara tapped her foot impatiently, Todd bit his lip then shook his head "I can't tell you...". Kara blinked at him "So...you know what she's gonna tell me, then?", Todd nodded "Yeah, but...I can't tell you...I promised not to...". Kara stood there with her arms crossed and her foot still tapping, she watched as her father slumped forward, practically pouting. "Fine..." Kara sighed "I'll go...if it means that much to you...", Todd looked over, a slight smile on his face "You will?", "Yeah, but just for the record...". Kara grinned "I only do this because you promised not to tell me, so now I wanna know this big secret!" she laughed, Todd laughed as well, mentally panicing 'I dunno if you're gonna like this big secret...'.
"Where's your brother?" Mrs.Alvers asked her daughter as she entered the house alone, "I dunno" Joslyn shrugged and plopped herself on the couch. "What do you mean you don't know? Honey, what if he's in trouble? Or seriously hurt?" her mother's big blue eyes shone with worry. Just then the front door opened, Myles turned back to the outside and waved bye to a car full of older teenagers then walk inside. "Oh, Myles, I was just worrying about you! Where were you?" his mother stroked his hair comfortingly, Myles swayed a little and smiled at his mother "I was just with some friends...". "You have friends? Oh, I'm so happy for you!" Kitty hugged her son and kissed the top of his head, she sniffed him then "Do they smoke or something?".
Myles blinked a few times then snickered a little "Oh, uh...yeah, one of them's eighteen...yeah...", Kitty nodded her head "Oh, alright...I'm sure the smell will come out after a wash". Lance walked in and looked at his son "Myles? You sleepin' at all?", Myles eyes were bloodshot with dark circles around them, Myles blinked at his father now 'Is he actually talking to me?'. Lance walked over and looked his son directly in the eyes "You stayin' up studying all night again?", Myles lethargically nodded and started to drag his feet towards his room "I'm just gonna take a nap...wake me up for dinner, please?".
After Myles shut his bedroom door, Kitty looked over at her husband excitedly "He has friends now!", Lance popped open the beer can he grabbed from the kitchen and took a swig "No, kiddin'?". Lance nodded his head with a smile "Good...maybe now he wont just sit around doin' school work, go out a have some fun for once", Joslyn couldn't believe her ears. 'They're actually proud of Myles!?' Joslyn narrowedher eyes at her brother's bedroom door then looked over at her parents "Big soccar game is next week! I got the team hooked up with some power plays that'll make their heads spin!". Her parents looked over at her with smiles and sat down to have her tell them all about it, 'That's right...I'm the favorite!' Joslyn smiled to herself while she went in depth about her teams plans.
Myles sat in his room, staring up at the ceiling, listening to his sister ramble on and on about soccar, his giggled to himself 'I wonder if she'd be this talkative if she had hung out with me and my friends todays?'. 'My friends...' the thought of him actually having friends now was enough to make him happy, the stuff they gave him was just a perk...He rolled over on his bed and got up and grabbed the paper baggie Tim gave him from his closet and pulled out some of the pills from within it. 'Which one's would wake me up?' Myles wondered as he stared at the variety, he decided that a little game of eenie-meenie-miinie-mo would help him remeber and popped in a random pill. He swallowed it dry and stumbled back to his bed 'Hope that was the right one...I think I'm hungry...or maybe I have to pee...didn't Tim warn me about something like this?' Myles sat there thinking until the pill kicked. He perked right up and went to the bathroom 'Oh, yeah...always remeber to pee when you've taken X or else your blader'll explode from all the water you drink' he nodded and snickered as he stood at the toilet, waiting for dinner to be announced.
Yay! Review please! I'll update faster that way! lol!
