"Well, it's kind of a long story," I said slowly. I bet he thinks I'm some kind of psycho!
"Give me the short version then," he replied leaning against a wall. By the look on his face me knowing his last name, when no one had told me, wasn't all that surprising.
So, I told him about my mother meeting this guy about 15 years ago but he was rarely in town. She fell for him and got pregnant, but when she told him, he said that he was married, already had one kid and his wife was pregnant with another kid and didn't want to abandon them. So I was born. About two weeks ago, I found some old birthday cards to me from some one called Rob Chambers and when I confronted my mother about it she had told me what happened. Then a few days ago, I found a letter that had been written about 8 years ago asking if I wanted to go visit him. So I took the adress and some cash and left.
There was a couple of minutes silence.
"Well?" I asked.
"It's not all that surprising really," Eyeball said. I'd be fucking surprised if some girl turned up out of the blue claiming to be my sister.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"He used to go out of town on 'business' alot, but stopped when Chris was born," he told me. Chris. Where have I heard that... Oh. Chris. So, sibling check... Chase, Freddy, Kristen, Joey and now Eyeball and Chris. Jeez. That's a whole bunch of siblings.
"Oh. So, what's he like?"
"Who? The old man?" He asked and I nodded."A total jerk. I mean, he's an alcoholic, does as little work as possible and beats up on Chris, my mom and sometimes me. And that's just for starters," he said. Awesome. Just fucking perfect. I HAVE A PSYCHO DAD.
"Please tell me you're kidding. Please? I don't want to have come all this way just to have to go home knowing I have a more dysfunctional family than I did before." I pleaded. He just laughed at me. "It's not funny!" I insisted.
"Sure it is. I know plenty of people who'd find your situation funny," he said. Jerk.
"Screw you," I said and started walking away.
"If you catch him when he's not drunk, you might be able to talk to him," Eyeball called after me.
I slowed down slightly. "When could I do that?" I asked with out turning round.
"Probably sometime tomorrow. About... 9 a.m. I think."
"I can't." I told him.
"Why not?" he asked. I turned around. "You have somewhere to stay don't you? I mean, you didn't come here not knowing any one... did you?" he said smirking.
"Do I look like some one who has been sleeping in a house?" I asked sarcastically.
"God, you're stupid. Even I wouldn't do that!" he said laughing. I glared at him before walking off again. If I looked where I was going, I would have avoided waht happened next, but I didn't.
SMACK.
I walked straight into someone. And ended up on the the floor. On my ass. With Eyeball laughing even harder at me.
The 'someone' who I bumped into - a girl, older than me and far taller, although, I'm notall that surprised- started yelling at me to look where I was going. She was pretty and had brown hair and brown eyes and I could tell she wasn't the kind of girl who you should mess with.
"Eyeball, are you with this chick?" She asked. As if! Even if I wasn't related to him, I would never date that jerk!
"Are you kidding me, Katy?" He asked. "Nah, she's just some newbroad I'm showing around town."
"Hey, do you know where Ace is? He'd better not be chatting up that waitress girl again. If he is... Well, I don't think you'd want to know. Any tips on burying a body?" With that, Eyeball started laughing again for, like, the millionth time in about twenty minutes. Jeez, his laugh gets annoying fast. It was kinda funny at first but not so much now.
"Well, I'm gonna be leaving you two to sort the whole ace thingout. See ya round," I said. I'd already stood up and brushed myself down by then. I'm seriously considering phoning home and getting some one to come get me. But I cant for two reasons. 1: I don't think any one I know would actually come get me and 2: I don't have any money to call any one in the first place. Dang.
"Catcha later. Where are you actually staying?" Eyeball asked. The girl -Katy I think her name was- didn't say anything. She juststared at me. It was kinda creeping me out. I don't like people staring at me. It makes me feel like I'm on show or something.I shrugged at Eyeball's question.
"I'll find some where... I guess," I sighed.
