Chapter 5: The Diary
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Saints Row
Skylar and Johnny walked over the TV, turning on the system and started Zombie Uprising choosing their characters and their weapons.
"So we doing a little two on two or we teaming up?" Johnny asked Skylar.
"Lets team up I don't wanna kick your ass just yet haha." Skylar said with a cocky laugh.
"Whatever. Hey man want a beer?" Johnny asked him.
"Johnny its 11:30 in the morning." Skylar informed him.
"So you want a beer or not?"
"Fine." Skylar finally gave up. Johnny walked over to the fridge and looked for the beer.
"All you have is light beer?" Johnny asked him.
"Um yeah I gotta look good for the paparazzi." Johnny just shook his head at Skylar.
"Man are you serious?"
"What? Look those tabloids are ruthless even if I have a fucking cheeseburger those fuckers are all on it fucking assholes." Skylar said with a pissed off look on his face.
"Hey dude you chose this lifestyle better be ready for what comes with it." Johnny told him as he handed him his beer.
Shaundi drove through the traffic of Steeleport with Pierce still gabbing away with Ultor on his phone.
"No no we need this shit released by next month our stores are demanding it."
Shaundi rolled her eyes at the conversation. Pierce should have known he wasn't gonna win with them but he kept trying to convince them.
"Alright fine two months is the highest I'll go."
They finally arrived at the Steeleport Ultor to their marked parking spot.
"Thanks Shaundi."
"No problem."
"Hey will you pick me up later?"
"What am I your personal driver?"
"Fine fine I'll get someone else." With that Shaundi drove back to her apartment.
"Hey Shaundi." A random Saint said sitting down looking at a magazine."
"Hey Darrin." She said with a friendly smile."
"I swear Shaundi you gotta tell me when you're not coming I was worried sick." He told her with a worried look on his face.
"Sorry I got a little tipsy and Boss wouldn't let me leave."
"Still a call would've been nice." He said with a chuckle.
"I'll remember next time." She told him with a smile. She stepped into the elevator pushing her floor number and going up. She finally made it to her floor and walked into her apartment. Since she now had a room at Skylar's place she decided to bring some of her belongings with her so she went to her room and looked around at what to take with her.
Hours later Skylar and Johnny was still playing Zombie Uprising.
"OH YEAH FUCKING GOTCHA SKY FUCK YEAH!" Johnny yelled as he shot Skylar's player in the face with his blood and brains going everywhere.
"Enjoy it while it lasts asshole 'cause when I respawn your ass is mine!" Skylar yelled. As he had the perfect shot for Johnny's player his phone started ringing.
"Its Shaundi." Skylar told Johnny.
"No phone breaks." Johnny told him.
"C'mon man." Skylar pleaded.
"Fine fine." Johnny said as he paused the game.
"Hey Shaundi whats up?" Skylar asked her. As he said that Johnny unpaused the game and shot Skylar's player.
"HA TOTAL HEADSHOT SUCK IT."
"What the fuck is going on there?" Shaundi asked Skylar.
"Nothing Johnny and I are playing Zombie Uprising and he just cheated." Skylar informed her.
"Ugh everytime you guys play that game you always argue and accuse each other of cheating." Shaundi said in a annoyed tone.
"Whatever so whats up?"
"Well I stopped by my apartment and got some of my things to put in my new room at your place and I was wondering if you and Johnny would help me."
"Sure you downstairs?"
"Yeah I'm down in the garage waiting."
"Alight Johnny and I will be down in just a few."
"C'mon cheater we gotta help Shaundi she's got some of her stuff downstairs."
"Ha you're calling me a cheater total pot kettle." Johnny said with a smirk."
"This isn't over." Skylar told him. They stepped into the elevator and pushed the button to go down to the garage. Johnny cringed at the horrible elevator music playing.
"Jesus I thought you would've changed this music with elevator style rock or something."
"Thanks for reminding me." They both stepped out into the garage finding Shaundi's purple Torch and her sitting on the hood of it.
"Hey guys." She said with a smile.
"Hey." They said at the same time.
"So where's all the stuff?" Johnny asked her.
"In the back." She told him. She opened the drivers door and moved her seat up showing them piles and piles of boxes and other items.
"Its not that much really." She told them.
"Uh I beg to differ." Skylar told her.
"Oh yeah there's more in the trunk." She said as she hit the trunk button on her key's popping open the trunk to reveal more boxes.
"Jesus Shaundi did you bring your entire apartment?" Skylar asked her.
"Haha very funny." She said with a annoyed look on her face.
"Whatever man lets get this over with." Johnny said as he grabbed a few boxes. Skylar followed close behind with a few boxes as well.
They finished in about 20 minutes. They both sat down on the couch grabbing their controllers.
"Is this all you guys have done?" She asked them.
"Yep." They both answered at the same time yet again.
"Seems a little boring but whatever I gotta unpack upstairs."
"Have fun with that." Skylar told her.
"Hey man go tell her." Johnny said to him.
"Tell her what?" Skylar asked him.
"You know that you lov-" He was cut off by Skylar's hand on his mouth.
"Seriously man not now." He said as he removed his hand from Johnny's mouth.
"OK 1. Do not put your hand on my mouth again that's just weird 2. You said you was gonna tell her when she got back."
"I said I would tell her I never said when I would."
"Either you tell her or I will." Johnny said looking right into Skylar's eyes.
"You're bluffing." Skylar said not breaking the eye contact.
"Oh yeah? Watch this. HEY SHAUNDI SKY-" Johnny was cut off yet again by Skylar tackling him down on the couch and putting a cushion on his face.
"Fuck Johnny shut up!" Skylar yelled in a whispering tone.
"What is it?" Shaundi yelled back down.
"Johnny just wanted to tell you that I would be glad to help you more if you need it." Skylar yelled back to her.
"Oh good I actually needed your help come on up."
"On it." Johnny pushed Skylar off of him causing him to fall on the ground.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU ASSHOLE?" Johnny yelled.
"My problem? whats your fucking problem Johnny?"
"My problem is that my best friend is supposed to be a fucking badass but he can't tell a girl he's in love with her."
"Keep your damn voice down Johnny I'm going to tell her I'm just waiting for the right moment." After he said that he walked upstairs to see what Shaundi needed help with.
"What the hell are you guys yelling about down there?" Shaundi asked him.
"Just some bullshit with Zombie Uprising." He told her.
"I swear that game is going to be the downfall of your friendship anyways I was wondering if you could put away some of my things while I start cooking dinner."
"Yeah sure and what are you cooking?"
"You'll see." She said with a smile.
"Alight then." As he said that Johnny came in the room.
"Oh good Johnny you can help Skylar with this."
"Yeah sure no problem." Johnny said looking around at all the boxes in the room.
"You guys know where to put everything right?"
"Yeah we got it covered." Skylar told her.
"OK great well get to it." She said as she walked out of the room.
"Since when did we become Shaundi's maid's?" Johnny asked as he opened a box.
"I dunno but lets just get it done." Skylar said. For the next few minutes they unpacked the boxes putting things where they needed to be put.
"Hey check this out." Johnny said holding a purple book.
"What is it?" Skylar asked him.
"Its Shaundi's diary." Johnny said showing Skylar the diary cover that had Shaundi's name on it.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Johnny said with a sneaky smirk on his face.
"Yep" Skylar replied with an even sneakier smirk on his face.
"Fuck it has a lock on it." Johnny said.
"Let me see it." Skylar said to him. Johnny handed him the diary.
"I can totally pick this lock." Skylar told Johnny.
"How?" Johnny asked in a confused tone.
"Like this." Skylar grabbed a hair pin from one of the boxes bending it and putting it in the lock.
"There we are." Skylar said with a smile.
"How the fuck did you do that?" Johnny asked him.
"You know I got two little sisters Johnny I used to pick the lock on their diary's all the time."
"Good point." Johnny told him. They opened the diary and looked the first page written in neat cursive.
Well my mom sent me this telling me it would keep my mind occupied while I do my time so what the hell I'll give it a try I dunno what to write about though prison is boring as hell nothing exciting happen's here besides a fight or two but the guards break that up before it gets to bad. Anyways I did meet this cool guy named Johnny Gat turns out he was a member of The Third Street Saints he was talking about this one guy who done a lot for The Saints although he didn't say his real name he just called him "Playa" but from the way Johnny was talking about him they sounded pretty close and he even said he's in the prison infirmary I'd like to check that out at some point until then bye.
"So you bragged about me in prison huh?" Skylar asked Johnny.
"Yeah I thought you deserved a little credit."
"A little?"
"Fine a lot."
"Alright let's check out the next page.
Well today was kinda eventful the really cool guard Erick Brooks who lets me smoke weed down in the basement of the prison actually knew "Playa" because he was a friend of "Playa's" family he said that "Playa" called him Uncle Erick and that before "Playa" got involved with The Saints he worked on construction with his father and Erick he also said he knew his real name but told me he wouldn't say his real name out of respect for him I asked him if he was working in construction why was he working here in the prison and he told me he took the job to keep an eye on "Playa" So today I went down to the infirmary and got a look at him.
FLASHBACK
Shaundi walked down the hall with Erick Brooks beside her.
"OK remember Shaundi you got 10 minutes to do this OK?
"Yeah yeah Erick I understand this it right here?" She asked him pointing at the door infront of them.
"Yep now remember 10 minutes."
"I got it OK?" She walked in and sure enough there he was his face was all bandaged up and the only sound in the room was the beeping of machines around him.
"Wow holy shit there he is." Shaundi said to herself.
"Um hey there I'm Shaundi." She said feeling kind of foolish talking to a guy in a coma. She took a seat in a chair and lit up a blunt and taking a long hit from it.
"I bet you've seen better days." She said with a chuckle. She blew some of the smoke in his direction and watched it fade away.
"I gotta say you're a great listener most guys won't shut the hell up long enough for me to even say a little about myself." She said as she laughed yet again knowing he didn't have a choice but to listen.
"Well I guess I should say what I'm in for. I'm actually in for drug charges and prostitution sucks ass but I should be out soon maybe when you wake up we can hang out sometime." With that Shaundi heard a pecking on the door she looked to see Erick's head in the little window he motioned for her to move it along.
"Well that's officer buzz kill telling me its time to go oh wait sorry I shouldn't say that about a beloved family friend like that." She smiled and before she left the room she bent over and gave the comatose man a big hug.
"I guess I'll see you around."
END OF FLASHBACK
Skylar and Johnny looked at the page then at each other.
"Wow man so she hung out with you in a coma even I didn't know about that that's crazy."
"I wonder why she wanted to meet me so bad."
"Well I kinda did talk ya up." Johnny said with a smirk.
"Guys dinner is ready." They heard Shaundi yell.
"Lets eat man." Johnny said. They walked down the stairs smelling the wonderful smell of Lasagna cooking. Shaundi was placing plates and silverware on the table.
"Wow Shaundi this smells great." Johnny said smelling the air.
"Thank you like I said I make dinner tonight." She said with a smile. She started filling up their glasses with red wine.
"Now the wine isn't anything special but it'll go good with the food." She said as she walked over to the oven getting the Lasagna out.
"Damn Shaundi that looks amazing." Skylar said eyeing the food.
"Thank you Skylar." She said with a sweet smile eyeing those green eyes that she loved so much. Skylar eyed her beautiful crystal blue eyes both of them not blinking.
"Hey can we stop with the damn staring contest and eat already." Johnny said in chuckles.
"Yeah Johnny we can eat now." Shaundi said not taking her eyes away from Skylar's. Finally she walked over and grabbed the food placing it on the middle of the table.
As everyone made their plates Skylar began praying over his food then crossed himself he looked up to see Johnny and Shaundi looking at him with confused faces.
"What? You guys know I'm Roman Catholic." He told them.
"Yeah yeah we know OK lets eat." Johnny said grabbing a huge piece of food on his fork and stuffing his mouth with it. Once everyone was finished eating Johnny took all the dishes in the kitchen for them.
"I'll be right back guys I gotta get changed for bed." Shaundi told them.
Shaundi walked upstairs in her room even though she loved it she was going remodel the room soon. She looked around seeing everything was pretty much in place aside from a few unopened boxes she decided she would finish it tomorrow. She walked over to her dresser seeing her diary laying on it at first it looked normal but then she noticed the lock was off of it. Anger rose in her she grabbed it and walked downstairs to see Skylar and Johnny cleaning the dishes.
"HEY." She yelled. Both men startled turned around and saw Shaundi looking at them with a pissed off face. Johnny looked down to see her holding her diary in her right hand.
"Oh fuck." He said to himself.
"Which one of you fucked with my diary?" She asked in pure anger. Neither man said a word.
"ANSWER ME NOW!" She yelled again.
"Shaundi... um we didn't mess with it." Skylar said feeling nervous hoping she wouldn't see through his lies.
"He's right Shaundi we didn't mess with it." Johnny said sounding calmer than Skylar. She eyed both of them for a several seconds.
"Oh wait fuck I'm sorry I just remembered the lock fucked up a while back sorry guys." She said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah no problem Shaundi its all good." Skylar told her. With that she walked back upstairs to change into her pajamas.
"Um did you pee a little?" Johnny asked him.
"Yep." Skylar said trying to calm himself down.
"Hey go tell her." Johnny said to him.
"Johnny I dunno if now's the best time."
"Why not I mean she's not mad anymore we just had a great dinner and had a damn good time she's happy, you're happy and I'm happy perfect chance."
"You're right I'm gonna tell her." He said with a confident look on his face.
"That's my boy." He said as he patted his shoulder. Skylar jogged up the steps and gently knocked on the door.
"Yeah come in." He heard Shaundi say.
"Hey can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah sure." She said with a smile. Out of nowhere she started getting really nervous and red faced.
"Shaundi I... I..." He was stuttering around his words. He took a deep breath and looked into her beautiful blue eyes.
"Shaundi I."
