Behind The Eyes Of A Juvenile Delinquent by Laura McConnell

Chapter Eight: I Miss You More Than Words Could Ever Say

It was a wonderful day. For teenagers at least. Why is it a wonderful day you ask? It's the last day of school! All teenagers are happy (not to mention hyper) & talking to their friends. All except one. And her name was Sandy Sanchez.

Kether had left for New York early that morning. He would be gone all summer. All her romantic summer plans ruined.

She didn't know if she would care now if anyone saw her cry.

Amanda ran up next to her. "Hey Sandy, I was talking to B-" she started to say.

Sandy raised her tear-streaked face up & said, "Amanda I really don't care."

Amanda looked as though she felt really bad & hurt. "I'm sorry." Amanda said, "I was just trying to tell what I thought was my best friend about my telephone conversation last night. But I'll just go." she turned to go.

"Amanda wait!" Sandy said. She moaned. She didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. "It's not you. It's just Kether. Why did he have to leave?" she sobbed, burying her head in Amanda's shoulder.

Amanda awkwardly patted her on her back. "It's okay," she tried to sound comforting, "It w-" but then her phone rang. She flipped open her pink razar, "Talk To Me. Oh hey! Look, I'm really sorry but can you call me back? Okay, great! Thanks. You are the best boyfriend ever!" then she realized what she said & said, "I mean... oh you do? Great! Thank you sooo much. Okay, talk to you later."

"I don't understand." Sandy sobbed, "Why?"

"Shhh, he's only gone for the summer!" Amanda attempted to comfort her.

"I know, it's just..." Sandy said, "I feel like everything is conspiring againist us being together!" she then laughed, "But it will be okay."

Amanda hugged her in a friendly way. "Well remember, me & Pashmina will always be there for you!"

"Thanks! Now why don't you tell me about the telephone converstaion?" Sandy asked.

"Well what happened was..."

As Amanda gushed Sandy smiled. Then she wondered what Kether was doing now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sandy was talking to Kether on the phone after school. "So, how's New York?" she asked.

"It's ok. Not as good as I remember."

"Did you meet any girls?"

"Nah. You know your the one for me."

"That's really sweet!"

"Yeah, how was Amanda's date?" Kether asked.

"Well, she's on it now. I saw them leave. They look really cute together." Sandy commented.

"Yeah... hey, didn't he have some wife? Ann or somethin' like that?" Kether asked.

"Adrienne. Yah, but some fan thought she was the devil, which she was, & they threw a grenade in her house when Billie was out & she died..." Sandy said, "That was a while back. Member how happy Amanda was?"

"Oh yeah." Kether said, "Hey, I have to go. I'll talk to you later, kay?"

"Ooookay!" Sandy said, "I miss you."

"I just left this morning!"

"HEY! That's NOT in the script! Your supposed to say 'I miss you too'! God, how hard is that?"

Kether laughed. "Okay! I miss you too."

Sandy laughed also. "Alright. Talk to you later. Bye."

Sandy had barely set the phone down when it rang again! "Hey, it's me, Amanda!" Amanda whispered on the other end.

"Amanda, aren't you on your date?" Sandy asked.

"Yeah," Amanda whispered, "But I need advice. QUICK."

"Okay, what is it?" Sandy said, just as her red razar rang. Caller ID showed it was Kether. She answered that & said, "Kether?"

"Yeah, hey Sandy!" Kether said, "I didn't really have to go. Claudia only need me for a sec."

"I don't know what movie we should go see!" Amanda wailed.

"In the nicest way possible Amanda: WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING ME?" Sandy asked.

"Because you handled your relationship with Kether so welll even when you thought he deserved better then you-"

"You what?" Kether asked.

Sandy cursed under her breath when their living room phone rung. She answered that & discovered it was Pashmina

"Hey Sandy!" Pashmina said.

"Hey Pash." Sandy said.

"so I know you can give me good advice!" Amanda finished.

"Well I don't know." Sandy said.

"Go see some romance movie to get him horny so he will-" Pashmina started to say.

"PASHMINA! SHUT UP!" Sandy yelled into the third phone. Then her brother's phone rang! Sandy moaned. "Kether, I just didn't know why you liked me at first that's all. Because your so cool & stuff." then she picked up the fourth phone! "Bijou?"

"Yez!" Bijou said, "I'm back from vacation!"

"Seriuosly?" Amanda asked, "I should go see a horny mov-"

"NO!" Sandy yelled, "No, you shouldn't!"

"Then what?" Amanda asked.

"Well you could see horror so you'd become all clingy & then that could lead to-"

"PASHMINA WILL YOU SHUT UP?" Sandy yelled.

"So horror?" asked Amanda who sounded like she was writing things down.

Kether was just sitting on the other end listening intently to what they were saying. It was very amusing if you weren't poor Sandy trying to handle three people at once!

"Bijou how was your vacation?" Sandy asked, trying to get Bijou rambling so she could focus on Amanda. "Well what sounds good?" Sandy asked Amanda, "What kind of movies do you like?"

"I like romance ones." Amanda said.

"Well there you go! You get to see a movie you like & get all horny at the same ti-"

"IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU!" Sandy yelled, "BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! AMANDA JUST GO SEE A FREAKING MOVIE TALK ABOUT IT WITH YOUR DATE, NOT ME & NEXT TIME YOU WANT ADVICE, CALL PASHMINA! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: EVERYONE STOP CALLING ME AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME!"

Everyone just sat there. "Now Amanda, go back on your date." Sandy instructed. Amanda did as she was told & hung up. "Now, Bijou why don't we get together at school tomorrow & you can tell me about your vacation?"

Bijou nodded & hung up.

"And as for you Kether, I don't feel like talking on the phone now, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Sandy said.

"Okay," Kether said, "Good show,"

When he hung up Sandy knew he was smiling his smile that makes girls swoon.

"Now Pashmina?" Sandy asked, glad to be relieved of all of the other three phones.

"I was wondering if maybe we could get together tonight? You know, go to Las Angeles or something?" Pashmina asked.

"Sure, I'll be at your place in twenty minutes." Sandy said.

"Alright," Pashmina said, "Let me get dressed."

Sandy was about to question her when she heard Stan yell "PASHY, ARE YOU COMING?"

"WAIT!" Sandy said, "I don't want to know."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Sandy & Pashmina finally arrived to Las Angeles they started walking around & Pashmina started talking about Stan.

"Oh baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the score?"
"Can we go in Rock coughpunkcough America?" Pashmina asked.

"Sure." Sandy said. Perfect. she thought. That was Kether's favorite store. I'm supposed to be taking my mind off of him, not remind myself.

"If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday."

"I think I'll wait outside." Sandy said.

Pashmina was too busy trying on a 'sexy-outfit-Stan-would-love' to realize how depressed Sandy was so she just nodded.

Sandy started thinking about things. And a flashback came to mind.

ANOTHERFLASHBACKYAY!

"Do you think you've bought enough?" Kether asked.

"You shouldn't be talking Mr. I-spend-four-hours-in-Rock-coughpunkcough-America!" Sandy said.

"It's not my fault they have a lot of cool stuff!" Kether said.

Sandy burried her head in her hands.

"You're beautiful!

Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?"

ANOTHERRANDOMFLASHBACK

"You're acting like you're high on sharpies! How many did ya inhale?" Sandy asked.

"ME?" Kether asked, "YOU'RE the one who's acting high!"

Sandy started laughing more & checked her alarm clock. "It's three in the morning Kether." Sandy said, "I think I need to sleep!" she yawned.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Kether yelled.

"Hm?" Sandy asked.

"Since you yawned you made me yawn!" Kether said, yawning.

Sandy finally said, "I think we should hang up."

"I agree." Kether said, "I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Alright…" Sandy said, "Bye!"

"Bye & luv?" Kether said.

"Hm?" Sandy asked.

"Don't in-hail anymore sharpies!"

"HEY!"

"Oh my god, why?" Sandy asked, "It's only three months but it's like an oman. Who doesn't want us together?"

"Try me." said a cold voice.

"If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say."

Sandy looked up & found herself looking at... MAXWELL! Duh.

"M-m-Maxwell?" Sandy stuttered.

FLASHBACKCONTAININGMAXWELLUH!

Kether & Sandy walked out of school holding hands. "Aww," said a voice from the shadows, "Sandy-Wandy's in wuuuv!"

"MAXWELL!" Sandy & Kether yelled, "CUT IT OUT!"

"This is not Maxwell!" the voice said, (INSERT EVIL LAUGH HERE) & out stepped from the shadows… STAN & MAXWELL!

"STAN!" Sandy screamed, "That was NOT funny!"

Maxwell & Stan doubled over in laughter. "Yes it was!" Stan said.

"I hate you." Kether said rudely.

ENDOFFLASHBACKGODIHATEMAXWELL!

"Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care.
Your dreams and your hopeless hair.
We never wanted it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do you care at all?"

Maxwell bent down to look her in the eye. "I like you Sandy. I've always liked you. Now get back together with me or else."

ANOTHERFLASHBACKABOUTMAXWELL

"Aww, is poor Kether forbidden to se his girlfriend?" Maxwell's taunting voice said.

"SHUT UP MAXWELL!" They both yelled.

"Touchy, touchy!" Maxwell mused.

"WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT… SHUT UP!" they both shouted.

"Fine…. Sandy-stealer." He mumbled, walking away.

ENDOFFLASHBACKIHATEMAXWELLEVENMORE

"Or else what?" Sandy said, standing up, "Maxwell, I would never, ever, EVER get back together with me. The only chance that you have with me is if I'm unconcious!"

"If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say."

"You better run," Maxwell said, his eyes flashing, "Because I will get your boyfriend, now tell me where he is."

"(Won't you tell me?)
(Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy)"

"NO!" Sandy screamed & took off running.

Maxwell ran after her & had an advantage since she was wearing high heels. Sandy tripped & fell down to the ground. Tears fell out of her eyes & she heard Maxwell getting closer & closer. She scrambled to her feet but only to trip again.

Maxwell loomed over her & withdrew a knife. "Sandy, I would never kill you," he said, "Doesn't mean I won't hurt you." he cut her arm & Sandy screamed, "Now I will ask you this one more time: where is Kether?"

Sandy just whimpered. Maxwell dug the blade into her other arm. Blood spilled out. Tears filled Sandy's eyes. "WHERE IS HE?" Maxwell demanded, sliding the blade up her leg, causing her to scream again. She whimpered. "Well if you want to play that way," he said, nearing the blade to her eyes.

Sandy's tears poured out & mixed with the blood as the blade came nearer & nearer to her eyes. The blade was about two millimeters away from Sandy's beautful green eyes when...

A black motorcycle pulled up next to them. The rider got off. He was around sixteen & his hair was black with white & red streaks in it. He was wearing black jeans, a black shirt, & a leather jacket. He was wearing sunglasses even though it was night. He pulled Sandy to her feet.

Sandy whimpered.

"Who the hell are you?" Maxwell asked.

"Leave her alone." The mysterious guy demanded.

"Why should I leave Sandy alone?" Maxwell asked.

"Do I even have to answer that?" the rider demanded, but his expression said 'dude! You are SICK!'.

Maxwell turned to leave but before he said, "I will get your precious boyfriend! I will."

"Go." the guy said.

Sandy's sobs racked her body & she burried her head in her hands, blood running down her face now.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I-I-I'll live." she said.

"What did he want from you?" he asked.

"He wanted to know the adress of my boyfriend who is currently in New York for the summer." Sandy said, wiping her tears, "So he could kill him." she started sobbing again & burryed her head in the mysterious guy's chest.

He blushed slightly. "Wait. Boyfriend?" he asked her incredulously. 'Shadow, you are an IDIOT!' he thought to himself.

"Let me see your arms." he said.

Sandy held out her arms & he took off his sunglasses. "Hey," Sandy said, grabbing his face & looking him in the eye, causing him to blush lightly again, "You remind me of someone."

"Who?" he asked.

"My boyfriend, Kether."

'Idiot!' Shadow's thoughts rang out. "Oh. Looks like your lucky. He could have broken bones. Or killed you." he said, "Do you need a ride home?"

"Yeah," Sandy said shakily, "Thanks."

On the ride home Sandy started flipping radio stations. "Can I?" she asked.

"Yeah." he said.

"Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me"

Flip. "Uh, that song reminds me of Maxwell." Sandy said.

"Stop! in the name of love"

Flip.

"Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out"

"UHHHH!" Sandy said, flipping to another channel.

"Thought I ran into you down on the street"

FLASHBACKYAY!

"What is this music? I love it!"

"It's Green Day." Kether said, "Don't tell me you've never heard of Green Day!"

Sandy shook her head & Kether fell off the bed, & of course, since she was lying on top of him, she fell off also.

"Ow." Sandy said, laughing, "So… what's with the whole Green Day thing?"

"They're only the coolest most awesome band EVER!" Kether exclaimed, laying back down on his bed & turning up the volume more.

"Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream"

"Hey," Sandy said, "Do you want to dance?" she held out her hand.

"Sure!" Kether said, grabbing her closer to him.

ENDOFFLASHBACKREMEMBERCHAPTERFOUROFHEADPHONESOMGS,&MYCHEMICALROMANCE?

Sandy started crying quitely again though Shadow could still here her.

"We're here." he said, "I would recomend you got some first aid..."

"Will you do it for me?" Sandy asked, "Please?"

Shadow sighed & nodded.

When they walked inside Sandy immediately, being her polite self, asked, "Can I get you anything?"

"Sandy," Shadow said, "Your standing there dripping blood onto the carpet & you ask if you can get me anything?"

Sandy blushed & went to get her first aid stuff.

Shadow wrapped the bandages around her eyes when he spotted blood on her micro mini skirt. "Wait, your leg." Shadow said.

"Oh right," Sandy said, putting her leg in his lap (A/N: For those of you who like Shadow... you might see him a few more times in this fic. Always as the mysterious stranger!), "Who are you?" she blurted out.

"I beg your pardon?" Shadow asked.

"I mean, are you from around here?" Sandy asked.

"Sometimes." he answered, wrapping the bandage around her leg.

Sandy realized that he wanted to be Mr. Mysterious so she pressed the issue no farther.

When he went to leave she yelled, "WAIT!"

He turned around.

"At least tell me your name!" she said.

"I've been called many things but most often it's Shadow Strider." And then he got on his motorcycle & left.

"Thank you... Shadow." Sandy whispered.
