Torn

Another chapter

I lay on my bed panting. We had played so many games I was exhausted. I felt Rei snuggle up to my side. I looked down at him; his eyes where closed and he was breathing softly. He was already asleep. I ran my fingers through his ebony hair, how he managed to keep it so soft after all that I don't know, but I was glad. He wiggled a bit and buried himself further into my side. I rested my head on the pillow. Where the hell was I supposed to take him on a date? I couldn't take him to my favorite food place, it's a fast food place…I could take him to the Chinese place down the road, but that's only a takeout place. I couldn't really think of anywhere else to take him…there was that one place on the main street downtown, I think it was Italian or some thing. I picked up Rei's phone and searched for that oh so horrid number that was still there. Johnny…

:Hello:

"Hi, is Johnny there please, its Kai."

:Master Johnny is sleeping.:

"Well then wake his Royal Highness up."

:Right away sir.:

:Hello? What are you doing calling me at this hour:

"Look, I got a problem here, I really need a favor."

:I thought I gave you a favor a while ago.:

"I need to know the most nicest and expensive place that's within an hours drive."

:A place that's expensive and nice and within an hours drive…:

"Yes parrot boy now hurry up!"

:Ok, just stop being so Kai-like:

"Well then, stop being so damned slow!"

I woke up feeling quite cold. I looked at my side and no one was there. I sat up and looked over my bed; it seemed a lot bigger than normal when Rei wasn't there beside me…I swung my legs of the side and stood up, walking to my closet. Once changed, I got out my box of secret stuff hidden in the most secretive place of secretiveness I could find under my pillow!

I got out my doodle pad that had the name of the place I was taking Rei to and turned the page to draw. Of course me being me, I mainly draw pictures of things that are relevant, things that are…umm…what's the word I'm looking for…ah yes, suitable…to…ok, you get it, I draw stuff I shouldn't, not the point. I stare at my open page thinking of something to draw that I won't get wrecked for if someone comes in and catches me drawing. I bring my pencil down and start drawing. I wanted to make it perfect, which seamed impossible at the moment, but at least I tried. I looked out the window, scanning the view until I heard a loud crash from down stairs. I dropped my pencil and pad, running down to see what happened. I turned the corner to see what it was.

"Oww!" I got hit over the head with something. I looked up at Rei who was holding a saucepan.

"Are you ok?" He asked. I got angry.

"Do I look ok!"

"No! I'm sorry!"

"What are you doing hitting me with a saucepan!"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" I grabbed it off him and hit him with it.

"Take that!"

"I said I was sorry!"

"Sorry doesn't cut it!" I went to hit him again but he ran away, I chased him up the stairs, round the room, back down the stairs, round the house basically. He eventually stopped, out of breath and so I hit him again.

"Please stop hitting me!"

"Why did you hit me in the first place?"

"Err…well…you see…" I looked at him, he was looking at the ground blushing slightly. "There was this…thing…in the house…and I heard a movement round the corner…so I went to hit it with full force and…it was you…"

"What was this thing?" He scratched the back of his head.

"It sounded like a burglar…and I thought it was cause it caused the big crash…but come to think of it, it was probably worse."

"What's 'worse'."

"Umm…it's…well…something…small?" I looked at him. He blinked and smiled slightly. "A rat?"

"A rat! How could you mistake a burglar for a…wait, you're afraid of rats?"

"No! how could I be afraid of rats, that's just…ok, I'm afraid of rats." I hit my head with the saucepan. "But there so…so…ratty…and…like…big…and they bite and…"

"Ratty? They're RATS! Of COURSE they're 'ratty' dumbo what else will they be?"

"I'm sorry…"

"Stop saying sorry already, it's starting to bug me!"

"Ok…I'm-"

"Don't even think about it!"

"Yes sir." I hit him again with the saucepan then went into the kitchen. "So…what are you going to do about the rats?"

"You're the one with the problem, you fix it."

"ME! But…but…but…that's not fair!"

"Deal with it." I got some ice cream and went into the main room, turning on the TV, Rei followed me.

"Please Kai! Do this one favor! PLEASE!"

"Don't look at me like that." He got on his knees.

"PLEASE! I'll do anything!"

"Anything?" He paused.

"Almost anything." I looked thoughtful. "Nothing to do with your twisted perverted thoughts or book." My pad!

"How do you know about my sketch pad?"

"Sketch pad? I'm talking about the book." I paused.

"Ah, yes, my book…how do you know about my book?"

"It's all under your bed, everything is, including your diary, so odd bits of scrap, most things I asked you to through away LONG ago…"

"Ok, shut up."

"So will you help me."

"No."

"Please! I said I'd do almost anything apart from-"

"Knock of the 'almost' and the 'apart from…' and I'll get rid of them." He sighed.

"Fine. Just get rid of them."

"That's my kitten, now, I'll just go phone the pest control and almost everything will be sorted." I walked out."

"WHAT?"

Kitty-cat: sorry, I have a bad case of writer's block for most of my stories right now, so the next few will probably just be this stuff and prank calls until I'm cured.

Stupid doctor…they pocked me in the ears with the thinging and put a lolly-pop stick down my throat, and now gave me two pills and a syrup that I have to take after every meal…I hate the doctors…at least I get free food! That's good!

This thing that the Muslims do every year, fasting, I went to a feast for it yesterday at my mum's friend, HOW CAN YOU STAND SO MUCH SPICY FOOD? I hate spicy food, lemon and herb at Nando's is WAY to spicy for me…I know, pathetic…I'm going on for so long because once I'm finished I have to go do my homework…so I'll keep going for a while longer…

Tala- no your not, you have to change cause you've been wearing the same thing for three or four days now, and you are SO not getting away from any kind of torture that I can watch you suffer, come on drags off say good bye.
