Reality
Chapter 16

I walked into the Pirate Bar and sat down at the table and took a bite out of my grilled cheese sandwich. Then I dipped it in the tomato soup that I had sitting next to me. I started to daydream. 5 minutes later the phone rang.

"Jesus..." I jumped, "I'll get it!" I ran over to the phone and picked it up. It was Bam.

B: Hey, kid.
S: Oh, it's you.
B: Listen, I just wanted to say sorry about everything that's happened in the past few days.
S: Few? You act like you started acting up 3 days ago or something!
B: sighs I'm gonna let you yell at me. I deserve it.
S: Oh, Bam. Aunt Jade wants to talk to you.
B: Oh, God...fine, put her on.
J: I first want to ask you not to sit down cause you're gonna stand up once you hear this.
B: Shit, what the hell happened.
J: Someone discovered something in your drawer and closet.
B: long silence Yeah?
J: What...the fuck...is wrong with you?
B: Listen! I was stressed out and I was searching Novak's room and found some of his stash so I thought, 'why the hell not?'!
J: Why the hell would you? That's it! You either come home or else I'm coming over to Finland. You're choice.
B: Damn you, Jay. Damn you!
J: Same to ya, you shit hole.

I stood in the corner shaking. If my dad found out that it was me who found it, I don't know what would happen. I ran up to Dico's old room and pulled the door shut as fast as possible. Paul was up there watching tv.

"Hey." he said.

"Hey." I sat down next to him. "What's on?"

"Whoa, why are you shaking?" he asked, putting Mad TV on mute.

"Nothing. It's noth-"

"You're shaking over nothing." he repeated. I rolled my eyes and tried to take it off mute but he grabbed the control away.

I decided to change the subject. "So, where's Keith?" I asked, looking around as if he was on a board on the celing. Paul just looked me in the eye.

"He's visiting his friend in Pittsburg." he replied, still staring.

"Um..." I looked everywhere but at Paul. Then I crossed my arms and started to get up. He grabbed me and pulled me back down on the couch.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked.

"I was just going-"

"Did you hear me? Keith is many miles away right now and everyone else is downstairs."

"Yeah, I know." I said, trying to stall.

"Ugh, you're difficult." he said, letting go of me. I turned around and hugged him romanticly. I stayed there for awhile then broke away. He gave me a kiss. I blushed and we started making out. One thing led to another and...

30 minutes later...

"Oh, shit." I said, breaking away from Paul.

"What?" he asked, pulling me back down so I could lay on top of him again. I put my head down on his chest and sighed.

"Feeling guilty, huh?" I didn't say anything but I nodded. He hugged me and got up and got dressed.

"I'm going downstairs, see you there?"

"In a few." I replied, laying back down on the couch. He pushed down the exit and walked down the stairs. I sat there and cried.
