damien455: Thanks! You Think It's great ? YAY! Here's an update for you!
MascaraTearsnMoonlitEyes: Dylan is coming back, but I don't think you're gonna like himt hat much. You're a fan? Yay! That makes me feel special. I;m glad you enjoy my writing, and you'll find out more about the characters in both stories as it continues on.
azure266: Yes, you are my angel missy! I'm a doll? Yay! Your opinion is dead on, I just didn't want to come out and say it right then and there, it'd ruin the mood. And the whole soap idea thing that you had was dead on too, you're on a role today! Lol. I'm glad you like Pete and stuttering is really sexy, ins't it/ But, did I ever say that Pete was English? I don't remember, but I mines well make him that. I'm glad you recognize the signs of Marco depression, food wise and all. Initally, I was going to have him cut himself, but then I went against it, cause that's Michael's job. Oppsss…well, you'll see. I'm so wrapped up in the story (29 chapters now) That I keep forgetting that you guys are only up to chapter 17. Arg, it gives me a headache. But I'm proud of the new plot ideas and twists. Oh and I have even a few more characters now, well, actually 2, but I'll mention that below. Yes, I know you hate them with a firey burning passion, cliffhangers that is, but I must put them. Not to bother you guys, but believe it or not, I used them as a way or motivation for myself. If I get board or tired of writing I come back and read where I left off and go "Damn, lemme twist this up". But actually I fell off the chair a few minutes ago because of this horribly deciteful idea that I came up with. You'll see in oh…chapter 28. Of course I'll keep rockin' the evilness-ness of this story, just keep reviewing! Ciao.
with love,anonymous: I'm sorry I didn't aknowledge you in the other review, but I'm doing it now, so thanks a lot! I'm glad your still rooting for the Marco and Dylan relationship, I dunno tho…I'll see. Lol. I'm glad you like my irony and twists, I think that's my trade mark now
Lizzypowers: Your killing me here, hun. You got 2 eppies on DVD? I hate you! Oh…your parents are in the movies biz? Can I live with you? Please? I love em! And ted! But together, they kinda made me close my eyes. Yes, graphic indeed Justin is my pimp/ whore and Brian is my owner. You'll have to rock back and forth in a corner then, cause Jake isn't getting it on with Michael anytime soon…but Michael's getting some…HA! FROM WHO? You'll see soon… I have uniform too, but I was like"Hey, school, fuck you, Imma wear this shit anyways" and I did. I got in trouble, but I did. But we like, don't listen to our teachers anyway, kids are wearing Roc A Wear and shit to school all the time, I'm the only like…black rocker girl there. And that's just sad. Yes! Weridness rocks now! My, aren't you horney from all that hot queer as folk action. The only hot gay sex you'll be getting from me is…um…Dylan….Randy…Adrian…Michael…Remy…oh well, fuck, I'm giving away the story. See you missy! Messing me up and such! Black Nail polish Yes, that was my first twisted ditty, but Imma betta it and then re-post it again. That was when I was going through my Brandon flowers stage. Now I'm going through my Alex Kapranos stage. Yeah, I loved the midnight show part, I had a hellova lot of fun writing that. Anwyays missy, go on and enjoy throwing this at your sister, I do the same thing with my friends. It's fucking fun, isn't it. Oh and I love you AND Azury both the same, don't ya'll start competing for my LOVE now, or I'll have to spank you! Ciao!
Oh, added to the list of new characters is Remy and Matt, and you'll see them later on. Arg, also, I know ya'll some lazy bitches, cause I was looking at my stats and I noticed a lot of people are reading, just not reviewing. But you know that? I'm happy, cause at least people are reading my soap opera, and I do the same thing. Im just too lazy to review. So yay! To the counters in the stats menu! And yay! To the reviewers. And yay! To the readers. Fuck it, yay! To everyone.
I just realised that I have too many damn author's notes but since it's shitty 4TH of July I decided to update early, and I'll still update on Fri! So yay, again. And yes, I hate holidays. I'm abitter girl. Oh and read my other new story, Feverish! I self promote!
Chapter 17: Untitled 3
It was winter as Marco sat on the steps, holding his hands in his head and cradling a note within his arms, longing to open in but afraid of what was inside. He waited for a good hour before he saw Jake walking down the block, looking miserable and smiled despite himself. Seeing Marco, Jake picked up speed and met him at the door step with a puff of breath, holding his head down," It came in the mail?" He asked quietly.
"Yeah…" Marco trailed off, looking at his expression," Let's take a walk, Jakey" He held out his hand as Jake grasped it and began walking down the block together. "Hey, you want to spend Christmas with us?"
"I—I thought that you were going to meet your dad" Jake asked, stuttering slightly.
"No…apparently not. You can come if you want" Marco said softly, holding the letter close.
"Yeah…I would like that…" Jake paused," Marco, just open the letter up already, the suspense is killing me"
"Yeah," Marco laughed dryly, "Me too. But what if it's bad?"
"What if it's good?" Jake countered. "You'll never know unless you see?"
"And risk loosing you?" Marco asked, shaking his head," No, I don't think so"
"Listen, Marco, you're not going to loose me. You know that. I know that. No court of law is going to do that, no matter how hard they try, I'm stuck like fucking glue to you" Jake sighed," Open the letter"
"Watch your mouth" Marco scolded fatherly as Jake rolled his eyes." You open it"
"We'll both open it, together" Jake said as he took one end of the envelope and Marco took the other, slowly they tore it apart and peeked inside at the small white letter rolled up. "Read it?" Jake asked.
Marco spotted a bench, they had wandered all the way down to the park, and sat on it," Okay, read it"
"Dear Mr. Del Rossi,
It would seem that you have made a good argument in appealing for custody of a Mr. Jake S. Shields, but sadly we cannot grant your wish due to the fact that you are too young to withhold the custody of any human being…" Jake paused as Marco's face fell, "I'll run away, Marco, I'll stay with you somehow…don't let them take me away…please, I'll be good"
Marco rubbed his temples in a circular motion," Continue the letter"
Jake looked at it again. "…However, we can justify custody over to your mother if she wishes to do so. After talking with Jake we know that he is completely enamored by you and we would hate to see him in a foster home where he would ultimately be neglected. We feel that you are highly responsible for your age and when your 18 you may appeal to the court again to try for full custody, but until then, you are just considered half guardian. We do not offer this type of exception to anyone, so please make use of it.
Sincerely,
William T. Thymes,
Court Justice"
Jake put the letter down." I--… I can….I can…."
Marco pulled him into a hug," You're mine Jake, you're mine"
Jake muttered something as Marco spun him around," Dad…please…"
Marco put him down," You…you called me dad"
"Well" Jake blushed," You are practically…"
"Let's go tell my mom the news, no more agony Jake, it's a thing of the past" Marco said happily as the wind whipped up, blowing icy sheets of dried out snow into their faces. As they walked away from the park Jake looked back and whispered," I hope so…"
Jake looked up at the clock on the wall, it was shaped like a tiger, and then back on the floor where Marco laid, thumbing through a magazine. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, I passed out" Marco said, making a face. He turned another page," Where's Ryan?"
"Out" Jake said, still staring at Marco.
"I'm sorry for ruining your birthday" Marco said numbly," It's selfish of me to worry about Dylan on your birthday, you know?"
"Yeah…" Jake trailed off. "It's okay…I guess, let's play a game or something, I'm pretty damn board"
Pete laid down on the bench and coughed into his balled up fist. " Ry, did you give me that shitty cold?"
"I dunno, I guess" Ryan said as he stretched out a bit, biting a finger nail. "But that's not going to help you win"
"Nothing will" A third voice chimed in. They turned around to see a boy with Blonde hair and Blue eyes staring at them.
"Andy?" They both called out, scowling.
"Hello boys" The boy, Andy, said happily.
"You just fucked up our game" Pete sighed as he turned back around." I want those Hershey chocolates, now prepare to fail Ryan"
Ryan rolled his eyes, "Andy, sit, please, we missed you. We just need to settle this". Andy, being a good boy, sat down besides Ryan and pulled the back of his hair slightly," I want your hair, you know that right, watch, I'm going to go get extensions or something"
"Your so caddy" Pete quipped, locking eyes with Ryan. It was the ultimate no blinking contest.
"And your butch?" Andy asked. He looked Pete's outfit up and down," Are you like a cross dressing lesbian or something?"
"And you look like a fucking gay club, trashed and easy" Pete retorted back, still staring Ryan down.
"Now, now boys, if Brain was here you all wouldn't be like this." Ryan said softly.
Andy waved his hands," Bite me Ryan, you know damn well he'd probably be feigning over what Natalie has up her skirt than to listen to us…now I can understand if it was Brad Pitt's skirt. Or Drew Fuller's skirt…"
"Or that guy from Franz Ferdinand" Pete chipped in." Oppss…" He said as Ryan glared at him." I mean, if I was into that sort of thing…oh…well…fuck it, you know he's do able."
"Drew is way better than Alex from Franz Ferdinand. I mean, yeah, he's hot and all but come on" Andy sighed out, running a hand through his hair." Let's be serious"
"I am being serious." Pete stated.
"You're both wrong" Ryan stated as he bit his lip a little bit," Because we all know that the most do-able person of al is…"
"Well…" Andy trailed off.
"Well…" Ryan stopped.
"Well" Pete said impatiently.
"We all know that it's Angelina Jolie…"
Ryan smiled as both Pete and Andy fell backwards, and snatched up the Hershey bar happily.
Michael tapped the phone slightly as Jake picked it up, looking at Marco and shuffling off into the other room only to run back in." Uh…here" Jake mumbled, balancing the phone on his shoulders and moving his knight in an L-shaped form to the other corner," Check mate" and then went off into the other room again while Marco stared, perplexed at the movement before angrily kicking the board, taking out a chocolate and murmuring "That boy's too damn smart"
Jake laughed and sat down on the steps as Michael sang out "Happy Birthday Jakey!" Jake could tell he was smiling on the other end," Why are you happy? This is not the Michael that I like"
"Oh, I'm fucking morose right now…but you know, for old times sake, I still got you a present, if you want it" Michael smiled out. Suddenly Jake looked under the couch, "Don't bother looking" Michael justified. "It's not there yet, it will be though. Something you'll like I hope, it'll be there in maybe a week or two, I dunno…"
"Oh, that's cool Mikey. But I didn't want you to get me anything" Jake said calmly.
"I know, I know, but since when do I listen?" A pause," I mean, this is me we're talking about"
"True" Jake laughed out hollowly.
"Tell me about your day then, I'm dying to know"
"Wait…Mikey…"
"Yes?"
"Where are you, I mean, where are you staying…how are you contacting me…" Jake trailed off.
"My heart Jakey" Michael said softly," That's how. Let's not go into specifics shall we? I mean, I am talking to you, that's more than enough…"
"I know" Jake stopped, was Michael getting defensive?
"I think maybe I should call you later…"
"No! No…I mean, stay on…please, you know I have like no one else to talk to…kinda…sorta…no one my age…wait…Marco is…well, damn….but…"
"Jake!" Michael snapped.
"What?" Jake snapped back.
"Tell me then, what happened?"
"Well…I have this plan…." Jake smiled, getting up and going upstairs," It's fucking brilliant too"
"School starts in 3 weeks boys" Andy said with a waving finger. He had this weird stripper/ dominatrix outfit on. The type that said "Spank-Me-And-I'll-Spank-You-Right-Back-Maybe-Harder" look on it. Ryan was shocked at how bold he was at wearing his outfits out in public but whatever, all the power to him. Pete licked an ice cream cone," How about this for a picture?" He asked Ryan, teasingly sticking the cone into his mouth.
"Please" Andy rolled his eyes," Before you choke"
Ryan laughed, turning the corner and walking up the block." So when does Brain come back so we can make our naughty four some complete?"
"Last time I talked to him he said the first day of school, uh, his parents had gotten lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle, weird asses, they shoulda went to Disney world like I had said before, no one listens to the flamer…" He sighed," I miss my Brian"
"Your Brian?" Pete asked.
"Our Brian" Ryan corrected.
"Yeah, whatever. I need to have some fun sneak into a club and go dancing on some poles, something, please, I need entertainment or else I go weak…"
"And limp" Pete snarked as Andy flipped him off and stuck his finger into the ice cream cone.
"Oh…oh fuck man, that's nasty" Pete murmured angrily, he was about to drop it when Ryan took the cone and licked it." It tastes fine to me"
"Lemme taste" Andy said as Ryan handed the cone to him. He licked it also and then licked it again," Man, I haven't had a decent ice cream all summer, and all my boyfriends thought I was being perverted when I said I wanted rainbow sprinkles with vanilla sauce all over it".
"Boyfriends?" Came the question from the other boys.
Pushing up his sun glasses, a bright reddish pink, Andy counted on his finger," Ace, Ben, Ken, Nick, Ari, Paul and Steven…." He stopped for a second.
"Why so many? One for each month?" Pete asked jokingly.
"No, one for each day of the week." Andy corrected, waging a finger, "But you guys wait, as soon as School starts back up it'll be one boyfriend per week for me. I'm cutting down, ya know?"
"Yeah…" Pete said, laughing," We know"
Ryan gave him another dirty look so Pete shoved the ice cream cone into his face," Eat up darling, that look isn't attractive on you"
"I want a divorce!" The TV screen blared out. Marco was watching All My Almost Real But I still Have No Life Children, his favorite soap. Marsha, the red head, stood there angrily." I'm HIV positive and I have cancer and I have a broken nail! But Justin loves me for who I am!"
"No, I don't because you're Mariah, her twin sister! And I am not Justin; I'm his best friend's cousin from the same mother!"
"Well I'm not your Mariah or your Marsha because I am your real mother, I slept with you Justin! Incest!"
Marco gasped," NO!" he clutched the pillow in his arms, biting his lip and balancing at huge container of Rocky Road in his arms, he had been like this for an hour now, Jake was locked in his room talking on the phone, probably his girl friend the way he was so hushed over it and Ryan was out, his mother was at another get rich quick seminar so he had the house to himself.
"But I love you!" Justin cried
"And I love Bacon, this is why we cannot be together" Marsha said, pulling off her mask to reveal a monkey suit," I love animals, don't burn forests!"
"No, I like you! No, I love you, marry me!"
Marco gasped again.
"I'm a man baby!" Marsha cried, pulling off the monkey mask to reveal a hot guy with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"But I love you" Justin still cried out.
"THEN LET'S MAKE HOT PASSIONATE LOVE BY THE MOONLIGHT UNDER THE STARS AND BY THE FIRE AND GROW OLD TOGETHER AND BE HAPPY!" Marsha shouted out, jumping into him. "What about the bacon?" Justin cried, falling down.
"Screw the bacon!"
"I'd rather screw you!" Justin cried.
Marco sniffled and dunked his head into the container; the he/she looked like Dylan.
Will Justin and Marsha find out Marie's secret, will they ever know that THEY'RE ALL THE SAME PERSON AND THIS IS ALL A DREAM? Will Marsha ever find out that she's allergic to bacon, or that Justin is not a man…but a garden hose? Tune in next time for All My Almost Real But I still Have No Life Children!
Marco sighed and turned the channel, it was now time for "Geometric Hospital" where all the actors are geometric figures and shapes. But he accidentally fell on Noggin, some kiddy channel, by accident, transfixed by the shiny colors and lights he snuggled down and watched it. He was happy to see a hand come onto the screen followed by kids shouting Ooobi! Over and over again.
He staid like that for 2 hours straight
When Ryan came in after prying Andy and Pete off of him he found Marco in a vegetated form on the couch, drooling and twitching," Make…make it stop" Marco murmured as Ryan ran over, It was now Maisy on the show, He watched as the TV screen showed the mouse yelling at people in a Charlie Brown "Waa waa waa waa" voice. "Please…." Marco said again as Ryan flipped off the TV. He pulled him into a hug." Never again" Marco cried, "It burned my eyes!"
Ryan sighed," Shh…it's all okay now…"
Just then, Jake wandered into the room, holding the phone and laughing when he spotted Marco twitching." Great, then I'll see you then…" he said and hung up.
"Who—who was that you were talking to?" Marco asked as he twitched, "OOBI!" He cried out, "Oh, fuck, I'm going to be doing this for a week aren't I?"
"Ahh…mmm… a friend" Jake half lied," Would you mind if someone was to stay here for a couple of days?"
Lol, review.?
