"This is Kramer, Chas Kramer cheeseball." Chas said popping the round puffy snack into his mouth.
Poor John who was sitting nearby spat a stream of whiskey into the air overcome by laughter.
"Chas! Did you just say what I think you said?" He asked trying to speak with a straight face.
A huge grin spread onto Chas' face.
"Yeah." He said sheepishly grabbing another one.
John just stared in complete awe.
Sure he knew the kid had issues but this was BEYOND anything he had ever seen.
"Your insane kid"
"Shut up John!" Chas said a stupid grin still plastered on his face.
Gaia had been in the bathroom for a while he just hoped she hadn't done a John and jumped out the window. After Gaia and him had figuring out there was a fire escape a few metres from the window he wouldn't put it past her (they were curious as to how John had managed to climb out the window and make it to the ground alive!). He was looking for some form of entertainment until she returned and had come across the cheesy snack.
"What is she doing in there anyway?" Chas asked John who didn't seem all that bothered either way.
"She's hiding from you"
"Why? John why would she do that"
"Because, she just told you she spent the night at a demons"
Chas' eyes widened. Realisation finally dawned on him she hadn't just been at Murphy's she been WITH Murphy.
"Shit." He simply said.
"She cheated on me…" He said his voice thick with emotion.
"Looks like it." He replied refilling his glass.
Chas dropped the packet he had previously been so interested in, suddenly losing interest.
He walked sombrely into the bedroom flopping softly on the bed.
He loved Gaia. She was the first girl he'd felt this way about and she just threw it all away for Murphy! Murphy! For Christ sake he was a demon half breed!
After everything they had been through together. All the pain they had helped each other through and she had just cast it aside like a broken toy… Was that all he meant to her?
It had been about an hour since I'd locked myself in John's bathroom. I couldn't leave. I knew I was falling apart. My heart was aching, I wasn't used to felling so many emotions!
I looked carefully into the steamy mirror but I saw a stranger. The girl staring back at me was unknown, alien.
This is who you are Luceria, who you were born to be.
No. I wasn't born to be miserable. To hate myself for the hurt I caused my friends. I never meant to hurt Chas I love him.
How can you love him! You aren't capable of such emotions!
Yes I am! I'm human and humans feel love. I LOVE Chas.
Luceria give it up. I know the real you! I AM you! You can't tell me your petty lies why don't you just be who you want to be?
I am the person I want to be. I will not give in to evil not now and not ever. I've been through too much. I fought my way to Hell and back to save John and I succeeded! I believe in God and I will not give in!
I doubt it.
Doubt what?
That you won't give in. You are Human after all and all Humans are weak. I am you Luceria we are one why won't you do what you are destined to achieve?
Shut up! I'm going insane! How can I be talking to myself like this! Just SHUT UP!
Fine but you know just as well as me that I WILL be back.
I turned the cold tap on splashing the cool liquid onto my face. I would have to go out sooner or later and if I stayed in here any longer I would end up doing something… Weird.
I entered the living room wringing my hands nervously.
John was on the sofa half way through a cigarette staring transfixed into a glass of whiskey.
"Hi." I said softly making my presence known to him.
"Hey kid." He said looking up.
"Where's Chas"
"In the bedroom. Gaia give him a minute okay he's a little upset"
I nodded. I had no strength to protest I was just so tired.
"Gaia?" I heard Chas call from the bedroom within.
I gulped. I wasn't looking forward to facing him but I knew it had to be done I owed him at least that.
"Yeah I'm in here"
I knew he'd be upset that much I was expecting but the man I was faced him was more than upset! He was furious.
"How could you?" He screamed storming into the room fists clenched into balls.
"I… I'm sorry." I stuttered.
"No your not! How can you just walk in here Gaia after doing that to me! I though you loved me was that all just a lie!" He screamed.
"NO! I do love you I just, I didn't know what I was doing! Chas I'm losing it"
"Damn right you are"
"Why are you being like this I said I was sorry"
"How did you expect me to react Gaia? Huh? Say OK your sorry gimmie a hug? It's not gonna happen! I trusted you"
I felt the familiar sting of tears. He had trusted me and I let him down. I gave into the evil that was threatening to break through at any minute and in doing so I had probably lost the one thing that mattered to me most, Chas.
"I love you Chas"
"SHUT UP!" He screamed.
"You can't just do something like that and then tell me you love me! Don't say you were thinking of me because I won't believe it! You're a psycho Gaia! You say one thing and do another"
I bit my lip to stop a sob escaping. He was right and I deserved everything he threw at me but this wasn't like Chas the kind, funny, sweet guy I had grown to love.
"Chas…" I sobbed touching his arm.
"Get out!" He screamed.
"What?" I asked taken aback by his sudden request.
Chas disappeared into the bedroom.
I looked to John in desperation my eyes silently pleading with me to help.
"Chas!" He said standing up.
"Don't be an asshole"
"Shut up John! You don't know what you're talking about so just stay out of it"
He returned momentarily my backpack in his hands.
"What you packed my bag? C'mon Chas I didn't mean to do it"
"Well you did! So why don't you go back to him huh!" He said in fury throwing the bag at me I stumbled backwards slightly winded by the heavy weight in my stomach.
"Go on get out!" He said shoving me further. He then opened the door pushing me out.
"Chas?" I said my eyes locked onto his and I found the Chas I had been looking for.
He looked so sad. Had I done this to him?
"Just go." He said slamming the heavy door in my face.
"FINE!" I screamed.
I'd had it with this god damn drama. My life hadn't been great before all that crap but it had been better than what I was going through now. I ran from the apartment my anguish gone. I was angry, fuming.
I didn't need anyone I never had. The sooner I got away from this place the better.
Told you I'd be back! Now lets have some fun!
Sounds bloody good to me.
