Rag doll chapter 8 anything could happen by Elle Goulding.
"where do you eat lunch?, I don't ever see you during lunch break". The chambers boy asked. The young couple were strolling down the hallways hand in hand. Ada had English that morning and Eyeball had history, which Ada was planning on making him tell her about while eating. She didn't have history until the end of the week and always enjoyed going to that class.
Once the lunch bell rang Eyeball had met her put front of her class, much to the shook of all the other kids waling by. As they walked through the school people openly stared at them, not even trying to hide it.
Ada thankfully had had no one come up to her and asked her about the pair, but that didn't stop people from whispering and pointing at her. not even waiting until her back was turned.
While Eyeball had several guys, and a few girls come up to him an start asking questions about the two of them. the chambers boy didn't care too much at first but by the time guys began to ask him what she was like in bed, and girls were coming up to him asking what would they even have to talked about, he began to get agitated. Ace had been in his class and shooed them away. the blond leader didn't have to do much…. or anything at that. all he had to do was with them a look and they would scurry away, as if they were mice and they had just seen a real big cat, with red eyes and fangs. Fuzzy was in their class as well I thought the whole situation hilarious. Ace would be lying if he were to say that the whole thing didn't make him chuckle, but he knew better then to show it in front of Eyeball.
After history The dark headed hoodlum told the other two he'd meet them behind the gym during lunch. He wanted to go wait for Ada out front of her class. Making sure she knew were he was, while also making sure she did eat something.
It had only hit him that he didn't know were she eat until they were getting closer to the school cafeteria.
"normally out front of whatever class I have next until the bell goes". She answered.
"nerd". He scoffed.
"shut up". Ada jokingly bumped in to his shoulder as they walked.
"well not today you're not".
"oh aren't I?". she raised her eyebrows.
"nah, today your gonna hang out with me and the guys behind the gym. I gotta get ya somthin' to eat first".
"you don't have to". she rolled her eyes nut he ignored her.
"hey, I told ya that I was gonna make sure ya eat somthin' kay. so I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do and ya not gonna fight me on it. it'll go on forever". He muttered the last part to himself.
"pure poetry". The blond said dryly.
They made it up to the font of the line and pushed in, which didn't even seem to faze the others now behind him. Eyeball noticed the way she looked at him when he did that. "it's cool their used to it". he spoke off handedily. "what kinda sandwich do ya want?".
"I don't want a sandwich, I'll just have a banana".
"Ada….. come on at least have a cookie with it… or a….. whatever that stuff is". He pointed to a lumpy stew like substance.
"fine, fine I'll have a cookie and a banana". 'where does this wanting me to eat come from?'. The green eyed girl asked herself. As Eyeball went to order for her the lunch lady's jaw dropped to the floor. 'I guess she's know about Eyeball's reputation too'.
"what kind of cookie do ya want?".
"chocolate chip what else?". She said as she laughed. 'what cookie do you want, what sort of a question is that?. it's always, always going to be chocolate chip'.
He payed and handed them to her. Eyeball re grabbed her hand and laced their fingers together. Mainly because a group of boys were looking at them making him began to feel territorial.
Which of course didn't escape the notice of Ada. "really?". She asked him. "just because their looking at us".
He shrugged unbothered by her catching him.
The blond scoffed. "here". she took her hand away from his, and instead looped her arm around him. "does this ease you?". she said looking up at him.
"completely". The chambers boy grinned and peeked her lips.
Behind the gym.
"what took ya guys so long?". Charlie asked lighting up a smoke as the pair rounded the coroner.
"had to make sure she had somthin' to eat. Give me one of those". Eyeball said as he took a cigarette from the lanky blond. Charlie reached out and offered one to Ada, who shook her head and make a face.
"never had one before?". Asked Vince.
"course not Vince". Ace gazed up to look at her. "it's Ada Bloom, she wouldn't be wanting to do that now would she?. Girl like that would rather read". he smirked.
Ada smirked back knowing what he was trying to do. "actually". She crossed her arms. "for your information I have smoked before, I just didn't enjoy it. made me feel like crap and gave me a headache". she bite in to her chocolate chip cookie. Ada had finished her banana on the way over to them.
"weakling". Billy said under his breath.
"how long ago?". Eyeball asked, taken off guard by her confession. 'it ain't that I ever thought of her as a goody two shoes or anything. How could ya after hearing about her temper and all. But I hadn't expected her to say that she'd smoked before. It ain't a big deal or nothing I just didn't see it comin' is all'.
"about a year, yeah and a half". Ada had another bite of her cookie and shrugged.
"why?". her boyfriend frowned.
"piss off mum". She bit the inside of her cheek. "didn't work though".
"what do you mean?".
"she asked me for one".
Eyeball laughed. 'why does that surprise me that that don't surprise me?'. He asked himself.
"bullshit". Charlie spat. "no mother would do that, ever. First time my mum caught me smokein' she beat me with her shoe". He crossed hos arms.
"my mum would… mainly because they were hers. Plus I guess she knew that I was trying to piss her off". Ada shrugged.
"why?. ya get in a fight or somethin". The lanky teen asked.
"Charlie who the fucks cares. Ya want one or not". Vince asked again, holding the packet out to her.
She hesitated. Eyeball voice rang in her head. 'maybe spending some time with them wouldn't be the worst thing, just get to know them, their not that bad'. Ada bite the inside of her cheek again. 'just do it for Eyeball'. Ada didn't care whatever or not they liked her. but a part of her…. a small part did want to feel excepted by them. she didn't know if it was because she'd hadn't had friends before, or she wanted to make her boyfriend feel happy. To try and find some common ground with the local hoodlum… so she took one.
"Ada…".
"Eyeball… let her smoke. It ain't gonna hurt her or nothing". Ace smirked. Eyeball gave him a look which made the blond leader smirk grow in amusement.
"here". Mudgett lent ford with his lighter and lit it for her.
All the boys watched in anticipation, waiting to see what would happen once she had a puff of it.
She put the cigarette up to her lips and look it in. Ada blow out the smoke. "it's isn't that…". she didn't finish because almost immediately she began to cough.
"shit Ada you good". Asked the chambers boy, taking a hold of her arms.
"I'm…. cough, cough…. Fin…cough…. Fine".
"no one panic I can help". Said Billy.
"by doin' what?". Fuzzy said like Billy was an idiot.
"by doin' this". He walked over to her and plucked the smoke out of her hands and placed it in-between his lips. "problem solved".
"have some of this". Mudgett reached out a flask to her.
"put that away". Eyeball hissed. "it ain't drinkin' any of that".
"Eyeball buddy". Ace spoke. "when did you become such a wet blanket?. Let your girl have a bit of fun".
"I don't want her to get in trouble". The chambers boy said through his teeth.
Ada continued to cough. "I'm…. cough, cough…. Good". She waved her hand. The green eyed girl started to feel kinda woozy.
Ace chuckled. "Eyeball take her to the water fountain". He pointed to one close to them.
"no…cough, cough… I'm fine, I'm fine". She lent on Eyeball.
"ohh really?". Ace raised his eyebrows. "ya don't seem too fine".
Ada gave him the finger and spat on the ground. She cleared her throat as best she could.
He chuckled. "light wright".
"want me to take you home?". Eyeball asked, looking concerned.
"Eyeball chill, it ain't like she'd dyin' or nothin'". Billy finished the smoke he'd taken from Ada, and lit up another.
"yeah don't get so lovely dovely round us okay. it ain't funny how like Charlie acts when he's with Marie Dougherty. You doin' it is just plain weird". Vince took another drag of his cigarette.
"Hey!". Charlie looked slightly hurt. "the way me and her acts together ain't funny. What's so funny about me and Marie together?. We don't act all Romeo and Juliet like them two nerds".
"it's funny because ya both ugly". Ace said off handedily.
The boys laughed, including Eyeball.
"hey… I ain't ugly…. I'm just….. different lookin'".
"yeah go on Charlie keeps tellin' yourself that". Ace snickered.
"I don't need to go home". Ada told her boyfriend. "I'll be fine in a few minutes". Right after Ada said that she felt vomit begin to rise up in her stomach. "Eyeball".
"yeah?".
"hold my cookie". She pushed her cookie in to his chest. The blond girl spun around and vomit up her banana all over the pavement.
"EW GROSS". Charlie and Vince jumped away from her, being the closet to her other than Eyeball. "Eyeball…. Control your women". Charlie said in disgust.
"shut up Charlie". Eyeball said as if he were tired of the lanky blond. "I'm takin' you home". He grabbed her school bag from the ground holding it for her.
"Eyeball I'm…".
"I'm takin' ya home, ya look at crap". He turned to glare at his friend.
Vince laughed. "buddy if I had known". He gestured to himself, being the one who had given her the smoke.
"it'ssss fine kay". the chambers boy waved It off shaking his head. 'ya jackass'. He thought.
"hey do you need like a….. towel or somthin'?". Fuzzy said awkwardly, looking at Ada. Still hunch over on the ground.
"or a shower using bleach and lemon juice". Ace scoffed.
"I don't need any help". She turned to look back at them as she wiped her mouth.
"you sure about that?". Billy frowned.
"yeah even Eyeball said ya looked like shit". The lanky blond to frowned.
"I said crap".
"is that better?".
"I said it in a caring way".
"how is that even a little caring?".
"you just don't get us". the chambers boy gazed at Ada. "he just doesn't get us".
"ohh my god shut up". She said trying to stand.
"see she said it in a caring way, told ya you didn't get our relationship".
"I don't think I want to get your…. relationship". Charlie felt weird saying the word relationship. Not hearing himself or his friend even being in a real on before.
"Relationship". Billy scoffed and shook his head. "you've gone sort and ya haven't even had sex with her yet". He more seemed angry and Eyeball getting furthering with Ada then he had with Connie.
"Billy… take your blue balls and..".
"shove them up your ass". Ada finished for him. she took a step ford and wobbly. The chambers boy took a hold of her immediately.
"Aww….. Eyeball she finished your insult. I think you've found the one buddy". Ace put his smoke out on the wall.
The chambers boy put everything in to it not to smile at Ace's comment.
"I'm gonna go cos this shit is just embarrassing to look at. Eyeball…. Im embarrassed for you right now". Billy said storming away.
"He's just pissed cos of his bule balls". Charlie quickly said to Ada patting her shoulder not sure what to do before following Billy away from the group.
"it's true, once he screws he'll be nicer to ya". Vince shrugged.
"good to know". she said sarcastically.
"feel any better?". Eyeball asked her.
"no". she said grudgingly, in a feed up tone. Then she remembered. "my mums home". Her green eyes widened in horror of the thought of Nora finding out about them this way. 'it isn't like I can just tell her that I smoked again had to come back from school sick. She may not care if I smoked or not but she is gonna care if I had to come home because of it. and I can't have her seeing Eyeball drop me of, she gonna wonder how I got home. She'd know I wouldn't be able to walk, she was there the last time I smoked'.
"come on I'll take you to my home".
The boy cat called at him.
"finally Billy will have somthin' to bring back to Connie". Vince smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.
"good for him". Ada said tiredly.
"Are you okay to walk?".
"yeah I'm….".
"your fine I get it".
"Eyeball". Ace said in his cool voice. "meet us at the bar later, Ada…. Your welcome to come along".
"we expect details". Mudgett too wiggled his eyebrows at them.
The chambers boy nodded at his leader, while trying not to glare at Mudgett. "see use later".
Ada didn't say good bye but gave them a weak wave and made a humming noise.
At the car.
"I'm real sorry you had to do that". he told her helping her in to the car.
"don't be, I didn't have to do anything".
"then why'd you do it?".
"because I thought if I did they wouldn't think I was bad for you". she felt her cheeks go warm. 'wow I didn't realizing how embarrassing I sound before I said It out loud'. Ada shut her eyes tightly, hoping he wasn't looking at her at that moment.
He got down to eye level with her. "and here I thought you didn't care what they thought about you". he grinned.
"well apparently I was wrong".
He peaked her lips.
"I care what they think about us". she took a hold of his hand briefly.
"don't, they can be jackasses. Once their more used to ya around they ain't gonna care anymore. They'll just go back to picking on Charlie".
She laughed. "that's horrible".
"why?". he smiled.
"because Charlie is the slightly…. And I'm using the word slightly loosely, nicer one of you lot… under you".
"yeah you know what it's like to be under me". he grinned even wider.
She snorted.
Pulling up at the chambers household.
"ain't anybody home so you don't have to worry too much". he said pulling up in to the drive.
"where is everyone?".
"pop would be at the bar, mum's at the her friends places and my brother and sisters would be at school. We have the whole place to ourselves".
"you sure they aren't going to come home?".
"yeah…. Well even if pop came home he wouldn't know we were here. he'd be too drunk to noticed. He'll more than likely just pass out the moment he walks in the door".
She mind flashed back to when he was asleep and she peek up his shirt to see the bruise and the scares. It took every for her not to shutter at the memory , of the though of her Eyeball going through that, of the thought of his brother and little sisters going through that. wondering what bruise and scares they would have.
"you okay?".
"yeah just umm…. Woozy". Ada hadn't yet told him about seeing all the marks yet where he had been beaten. 'I feel like shit for not noticing them when I was dabbing the cream on his rashes from walking Charlie's dogs. Looking back I don't see how I missed them'.
"once you lye down you should be fine". He got of and shut the door. he strolled over to the her and opened the door for her. eyeball helped her out and walked her up to the house.
At first glance she thought his house was a lot bigger then she thought it would be. But no matter how large it was it still looked like it had been brunt down 70 time and just rebuilt afterwards. Most of the windows were broken, there were cracks all over the bricks on the outside of the house. The grass and plants were over grown, making the place look like a out of control jungle. There was scorch marks one parts of the house.
He noticed she noticed.
"pop tend to fall asleep with cigarettes still lit in his mouth".
"you say it like your use to it".
"I am ". He shrugged without a care in the world.
"I fine that…. horrifying". She said in full truthfulness.
"well….. welcome to my life". He opened the front door.
Before they walked in she grabbed him. "have you even been….. brunt?". 'beating him is bad enough…. But putting him and his family in danger every night because he was drinking and smoking is… I don't think I have words. Actually no…. I have a lot of words. A lot of bad words for him….. I just don't know what order to put them in'.
"few time". he tried not to look her in the eyes feeling uneasy about talking about this incidents.
"and you little sisters?... and brother?".
"Chris once or twice, Kate, Daisy, Maisie we've always been able to get out before anythin' happens".
"how many time?". she felt sick, way more sicker then after talking that one puff of that smoke.
"more than I can caught". He shrugged it off. "you may want to shut your eyes".
"ohh god why?. what's about to happen?".
"because if you don't like the front of the house….. you ain't gonna like the inside".
"should I really shut my eyes?". She asked him half joking half not.
"you could". he smirked. "then I could carry you bridle style to my room". He wiggle his eyebrows like Vince had done, Making a joke out of it.
"go ahead". She jokingly jumped in to his arm, and they both laughed.
"alright". he picked her up making her squeak in surprise. "but really…. If you don't want to feel more like shit….. close your eyes".
she closed them and he ventured in to his home. Ada heard him close the door behind them, then moments later felt him walking up some stairs. "you are incredible light. Honestly I feel like I'm holdin' a strawberry".
She giggled, then felt him place her down on a bed. "am I safe to open them yet?".
"go for it".
She felt him sit on the bed.
Ada opened her greens eyes and the first thing she did was gaze around the room. "so this is Eyeball chambers' room". She sat up and balanced on her elbows.
not as messing as I thought it be would".
"so you thought about what my bedroom would look like".
"HAA yes every night". She joked. "even in the shower". Ada said quickly to throw him through a loop. She sat up away from him to have a better look. he started at her like she was the girl of his dreams.
Eyeball moved closer to her as she looked around.
"less blood on the walls then I thought there would be".
"mum probably cleaned".
She laughed.
"what's this for". she pointed to what seemed to be a sheet hanging from the ceiling.
"a room divider me and Chris made".
Ada noticed the other bed. "do you share this room with your brother?".
"when I sleep here I do".
"where else do you sleep?".
"when I'm not in bed, or on a ugly rug in front of a fire place with you?".
"are you with… other girls". Ada asked with a feeling of jealousy bitting her lip. 'I know I shouldn't be feeling jealous….. mainly because I thought I would never feel that way over a boy. and I don't enjoy the way it makes me feel, it's a really shit feeling. but I can't help it'.
"not usually, if I sleep anywhere else it's because either pops on a bender or I'm too drunk to drive. More often that none I just pass out at Ace's… sometimes on the front lawn".
"the front lawn?... what if it's raining?".
"well then tough shit for me. it ain't that hard to get up in to our window though. There's a tree out there that me and Chris climb in and out of when we sneak out". He hoped off his bed and pulled the curtains, showing her the tree. "if you ever get bored….. feel free to stop by".
"would your brother mind?". She smirked.
"would my brother….. a 14 year old boy. mind a hot as shit bomb shell climbing through his bedroom window in the middle of the night?. What do you think?".
"right, right that's ones one me". she admitted.
"I'm sure if retarded little friends wouldn't mind either".
"do they stay over often?".
"sometimes". He sat next to her on the bed. "we have a hour and a half before Chris and my sisters will be back. how do you feel?".
"better then before".
"do you still want to rest?".
She smirked. "no".
"what did you wanna do then?".
"give Billy something to tell Connie".
He sucked in deeply. "I'm sorry…. What?".
"I don't mean fucking. I'm leaving this place with my hymen intact. But…. I'm open to….. experimenting".
"experimenting". He breathed out, His throat feeling dry. "okay".
The bookworm slip back on to his bed and laid her head back on to his pillow. She beckoned with her finger for him to come to her. without missing a beat he crawled on top of her. she crushed her lips on to his.
He moved his hand to her sides and held on to her hips.
This went on for some time.
Ada eventually had hitched both her lags up around his hips. His hand had now moved her to her and were under her shirt but still above her bar like before.
"you're so beautiful". He mumbled in the crook of her neck, kissing her.
Ada didn't feel like she could talk. she was too engrossed in his lips that it was hard to comprehend anything around her.
Eyeball removed his hands from under her shirt and dragged them down behind her back. and cupped her ass and gave then a gentle squeeze. This coursed her to push him off of her and roll them. so that now Ada was on top of him. she lifted up his shirt trying to take it off of him.
It all but rip it off and throw it across his bedroom.
Without saying anything, the both of them, at the same time began to grind on one another while their lips were locked.
Ada stopped kissing him to look at him. her lips were swollen and her blond hair was a mess. She had a look in her eye that the teenage boy hadn't seen in her before.
Hungry.
She slowly glanced down at his crutch area then back at him.
'She'd not?... she isn't?'. he asked himself in disbelief.
She all so slowly moved her hand down caressing his chest and stomach. He swallowed the nervous lump in his throat. She grabbed a hold of his bulge and began to rub. Slowly at first then she began to do it faster.
Eyeball had begun to groan in pleasure. She lent down and kissed his chest.
The chambers boy wasn't a virgin….. but he had never done this before.
Not once had a girl never touch him this way.
He suddenly sat put now being eyes level with her, when she stopped he began to grind against her hand and she restarted. He throw his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. "just like that". he said.
"just like this?".
"just like this". He nodded.
"you like this?". She said seductively.
"yes, yes I do". he could barely speak now, he was becoming closer to his breaking point. He let go of her and grabbed her head. crushing his lips back on to hers and a moment later came with a loud groan. His lips were still attached to her. he passed out on top of her for a moment, then rolled so that next he was next to her.
"Ada Bloom…. you are my dream girl". He said in between deep breaths. He kissed her cheek.
She gave a girly giggle, feeling immediately embarrassed but he hardly noticed it.
He rolled on to his side and gently moved his hand down to her lower stomach.
"wait". She grabbed his hand. "what are you doing?". She asked uneasy.
The local hoodlum smirked. "now it's your turn". He kissed her again.
She unconsciously drew her legs together. "I don't know Eyeball".
"please let me do this for you". he kissed up and down her jaw line. "baby I'm gonna make you feel so good".
She hesitated.
"it ain't gonna hurt nothing". Just as he said that he kissed her in a spot that made her eyes roll back. she slowly spread her legs for him and her dragged his hand her your groin. "I'll treat ya real good".
"I believe you". the blond girl groaned out.
But before anything could happen the front door slammed shut. The two teenagers immediately heard voices.
"no!". she groaned in frustration, not wanting him to stop touching her. 'he hadn't even started yet'. She wanted to cry out. "who is it?. will they go away".
Eyeball was frozen on top of her, trying to figure out who it was. "god damn it".
"what who is it".
"it's my little brother and his friends".
She paused for a moment to listen, and sure enough she could make out 4 different voiced that sounded younger than theirs's. "make then go away". She held his hand between her legs without realizing it.
He rolled off of her and shut the bedroom door, throwing on the first top he found "come on we can go out the window if you ain't ready to meet them".
Her eyes widened and she jumped off of the bed, not bothering to fix her shirt. 'I'll fix it in the car'.
He hopped out first and reach out for her, once in the tree. She took his hand and he help her to the next branch. He got down next to her then jumped on to the long grass. "here". he reach up to catch her and without even thinking about it she jumped in to his arms.
He took her hand and run to his car laughing.
Chris and his friends.
"did a door just shut?". Geordie asked while the 4 of them were half way up the stairs.
"I saw Eyeball out front he's probably here". Chris didn't stop walking to his room. He opened the door and strolled in expecting to see his brother. He frowned when he couldn't see him anywhere. "that's weird". he said to himself. 'his bed look messed up…. He must have been here'.
The younger boy heard laughter form outside his window and moved to look out of it. the other 3 boys followed him.
He looked out the window to see his older brother and some girl jump in to his car.
The younger chambers boy frowned.
"that was strange". He said to himself again.
"strange that your brother had some babe in his room?. That doesn't seem like anything out of his ordinary behaviour". Teddy told him, pushing up his glasses.
"is this your brothers hat?". Vern pick it up an looked at Ada's hat that she had left behind. she hadn't realized it.
"no". Chris said shaking his head.
"Probably hers". Geordie sat on Chris's bed.
"ohhhh". It was then Teddy noticed Eyeball's messed up bed. "what do you think they were doin' here". he said sarcastically while he jumped on his bed. "three guesses". The younger boy smirked as he got up and began to jump on Eyeball's bed. "Chris Eyeball's gettin' lucking in your room isn't something strange".
"yeah I agree with Teddy sincerely". Vern nodded.
"that's not what I find strange".
"what is it then?". asked Geordie, chucking a pillow up and down and catching it.
"that he didn't want me to know".
"what". Geordie put the pillow down.
"think about it…. when would my brother give up the chance to brag about having sex". Chris looked out the window again with a frown. Wondering what was going on.
Ada and Eyeball in his car.
Both teenagers say up as straight as they could while in the car. Both staring straight ahead on the road. Either of them knew what to say to one another after their encounter in Eyeball's bedroom.
'I hadn't meant for it to go that far. But I would be lying if I said I regretted it. after seeing the way he tries to look after me gives me a sort of….. well it's a feeling I'm not used to. getting looked after, asking if I eaten something so he knew I wouldn't be hungry….. there not big things but for me it's the little things that count the most. I'm not even sure he realizes he's doing it. from what Eyeball's told me his dad is just sort of there in his and his family's lives. That he doesn't play in big part in their world, other then spending all their money of the drink and beaten the crap out of them. so I truly, truly drought that old man chambers would even be sober enough to care about his family. Eyeball getting any of his surprising sweet nature from him is absolutely unlikely. I don't know much about his mother but she doesn't seem to mind her sons running wild. He said that she wasn't around to often and that when his father would come home from the bar in the chambers household it was every man for himself. Eyeball did tell me that he and Chris would try and step In between their parents but his mother told them to stop. Maybe it was because she really was used to it or maybe a part of her did care about her kids. Who knows. but you want to know what I think?... I think Eyeball's caring side comes from his little sisters. Just hearing about his reputation and getting a look at him no one would think he had a another side to him that wasn't violent or malicious. To most he was and would always be a good for nothing lost course. That would never get out of Castle Rock and become just like his father. I believe that growing up in that environment, having been abused all the time. he was able to take something away from that, that wasn't just anger and sadness. He was able to look at what was happening to him and feel sympathy for what his little sister and for what was going to come. If old man chambers felt nothing about beaten his two sons I don't have any drought that he'd beat his daughters once they were old enough. I think they were the lone reason Eyeball hadn't lost all humanity'.
"did you want me to park down the street again?". Eyeball couldn't take it anymore, he had to say something to her. 'I ain't stupid…. I maybe shouldn't of let her get so in to it. but hey what did ya expect from me…. I'm still a guy. but now I feel bad because she's probably uncomfortable. she looks uncomfortable. I guess I shoulda stopped it bit like I said…. I'm still a teenage boy, a hormonal teenage boy who likes sex just like any other man. I got all caught up in her. what she was doing felt good. She's caught me off guard, I didn't think she was gonna say, give Billy somethin' to tell Connie. Look I'm serious about this chick. Ada ain't just some bicycle like the girls me and the guys hang around with. we can joke around, she makes me smile. She can hold her own pretty well around Ace and the boys. No chick had never made me do that out of bed. I just hope that I hadn't scared her away….. I care about her'.
Ada was knocked out of her thoughts. "yeah that be best". She lips were in a sight line.
"okay". he nodded.
It went back to being quiet.
The chambers boy pulled up down the road from her home. "did you still want to hang out at the bar later?".
"I think I'm just gonna stay in tonight".
He nodded again.
"Eyeball… I don't regret it".
He turned to her.
"it's just we've been pretty quiet since….". she took a deep breath and looked away form him. feeling her cheeks go hot. "I had fun… being with you in that way was fun". Ada gazed back in to his eyes.
"you don't like…. Think I….. I don't want you to..". he didn't know how to word what he wanted to say. Eyeball has emotion, he is human after all. But he had a habit of pushing them. deep down, deep, deep down, to were not even Ace could break him. growing up he not dare show any emotion in front of his father. Old man chambers would call him a little girl and continue to punch and kick him. even something as simple as a sentence was difficult for him. any form of expressing emotion was hard for him. the chambers boy had to in the back of his mind that any sort of feeling that wasn't humour or angry was considered embarrassing. "I'm tryin'…. I'm tryin' to say that I…. care…". 'pull yourself together ya shit'. He cursed himself.
Ada could see he was having trouble. She unbuckled her seat belt. "hey, hey, hey". Ada climb over to her and was straddling his lap. "I didn't do it because I felt that I had to. I didn't do it because I want you to like me. I wanted to do it because I wanted to be close to you in that way. because…. I care about you. Eyeball chambers… you ain't". she smirked at him. "just some boy to me….. your mine". She kissed his lips. The blond pulled away from him to look in to his eyes. "you know we're doing that again right". She smirked.
Eyeball snorted. "ohh really".
"ohh for sure". Ada lent down to his ear. "you still own me".
He laughed. "hey I do girl". He peek her lips. He grinned at the memory of the two of them on his bed. "I'm gonna pick you up tomorrow okay. and if you don't bring somthin' to eat I'm gonna buy ya another cookie". He peeked her lips once more. "you sure ya gonna stay home tonight?".
"next time, I'm starting to get a headache".
"how do you feel now?. ya had a reaction to that one cigarette". He scoffed, slightly amused at how it had affected her earlier. He didn't want to find her sickness funny, but he'd never seen somebody react that way to having one puff of a smoke.
"us almost having sex before didn't give you a hint on how I was feeling?". She laughed. "I'll see you later". She opened the driver's side door and slid off of him.
"remember…".
"yeah, yeah your buying me cookie".
"are you sure your feeling better?".
"your concern for me is so sweet".
"I don't do sweet".
"how do you think your friends will feel if they found out you're a big sweetie pie".
"ohh god…. Please don't start callin' me sweetie pie". He throw his head back and exhaled. "and I ain't know sweet pie, Ace and the guys would never believe you". he told her calmly.
"you so sure about that?". she smirked. Ada pretended to gasp dramatically ."this could be way in with them. maybe they'll finally like me". the green eyes girl smirked again. she jokingly smacked his shoulder and walked away. At first backwards so she could still look at his face.
Just as Ada about to disappear behind her front gate he called out to her.
"you were fucking with me right!?... right?". He called with a hint of worry in his voice.
Eyeball back at home.
The very moment Eyeball stepped in to his house he felt a terrible pain in the side of his head. "WOW FUCK". He yelled.
"WHERE IS IT BOY!?".
'pops back from the bar'. Eyeball felt his father grab him by the collar and hit him again. "WHERE THE FUCK IS WHAT?". Old man chambers punch a few more times.
"MY JACK?".
"I DIDN'T TAKE ANY OF YOUR GOD DAMN BOOSE".
4 more punches. "LYING LITTLE FUCK".
Eyeball could feel blood dripping down the side of his head. for a moment he looked up to see his mum dash in to the other room. Not wanting to get involved. 'can't blame her too much'. he mentally shrugged. One more hit and he was down.
"WHERE IS IT!?".
"I DON'T KNOW".
"LIaR". He kicked his son in the ribs.
"I DIDN'T TAKE IT POP". He cried out. Feeling his father boot smash in to him again.
"THEN WHO FUCKING DID?". Another kick. "NOTHING TO SAY NOW DO YOU YA LITTLE SHIT". Another kick.
"YA DRUNK IT ALL YA FUCKING DRUNK". There saw a deafening crack, as old man chambers kick him in the face breaking his nose.
'fuck again'. he went to grabbed at his nose automatically, but it didn't last long. He felt several more kicks to his already bruised ribb cage.
"I DIDN'T DRINK IT, YA STOLE. YOU'S WAS OUT DRINKING WITH YA GOOD FOR NOTHING FRIENDS AGAIN WEREN'T YA?". he grabbed a photo frame from the mantle, and as hard as he could smashed it down on his son.
"WHAT DOES THAT MAKE YOU THEN".
"UNGRATEFUL, LITTLE ACCIDENT". Another punch, but this time to the stomach.
"I TOLD YOUR STUPID MOTHER TO GET READ OF YOU". he throw something else at him but Eyeball didn't know what it was. all he knew was it was pointy and it hurt like a mother fucker. "IF IT WASN'T FOR HER GETTING KNOCK UP YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MY PROBLEM".
"POP PLEASE STOP". Eyeball chocked out, Beginning to feel dizzy.
"I PUT A FUCKING ROOF OVER YOUR FUCKING SELFISH HEAD". kick. "I PUT FUCKING FOOD ON THE FUCKING TABLE". Kick. "AND YOU FUCKING STEAL FROM ME. YOU BALLLESS LITTLE FUCK".
"I….. NEVER…. FUCKING….. TOOK…". It was getting harder and harder to talk.
Old man chambers kicked his son across the face. almost knocking him out. He crouch down, grabbed a handful of his curly dark hair and pulled it back. he punch him 2 more time before harshly whispering. "if I find out your lyin' to me your fucking dead son". He stood up, took a hold of a bottle of beer he was drinking, then began to stubble in to the other room. He muttered. "god for nothing liar". He slammed the door behind him leaving his son in a puddle of his own blood.
He eventually passed out.
An hour later.
When Eyeball woke up he found himself in a pool of blood. 'I guess it's Monday'. He said sarcastically to himself. he crawled to the stairs and made it half way up them before needing to stop for a moment. 'crazy old man got me good this time'. he pulled himself the rest of the way up the stair and grabbed on to the rail. Holing himself up on his feet.
He made it in to his bedroom.
Chris and the gang were still in his room. The 4 young boys had heard everything that their father had done but didn't dear go and see. The other three also didn't want old man chambers to know that they were in the house.
They were all afraid of the older man.
"ohh shit". Vern tried to whisper, Eyeball heard him but could clear less.
He walked straight to his bed and slowly laid down on it. winching when he felt the soreness of were he had been hurt.
"damn Chris…. Ya pops really got your brother good this time". Teddy whispered to his little gangs leader.
Eyeball let out groaned as he finally was able to lay down. He wanted to lay down on his stomach because it was what I was use to, but it hurt to much from his father kicks and punches.
All three boys looked at Chris, who was staring down at his bedroom carpet intensely. After a few moments he looked at his brother. The younger boy without talking got off of his bed and walked in to the bathroom. He came out a few seconds later holding a wet cloth.
Eyeball". He said quickly. The older boy made a noise but that was it. Chris came closer to the bed and sat on it next to his brother. He checked out the damage, and gently began to dab the cloth against his broken and blooded skin on the side of his face.
They my have not had the greatest relationship, but when it came to their father the two brother had an unspoken alliance.
Later.
After Chris had cleaned up his brother he went back to playing cards with his friends. He closed off the room using the divided they had to give Eyeball his privacy.
"Chris…. Are you sure he's gonna be okay?". Geordie asked. It wasn't that the younger boy cared for the older one, but after hearing what he had and seeing him now was confronting to Geordie. He was also asking for his friend sake as well.
"yeah he'll be fine….. it ain't the worst he's ever gotten it and it ain't gonna be the last either". He looked in the direction of his brother, who was now passed out. "we're used to it, once he gets up he'll act like it never happened".
They went back to playing cards.
But every so often Chris would glance up to make sure Eyeball was okay.
Eyeball waking up.
Geordie, Teddy and Vern had all taken off. once they heard old man chambers slam the front door and all three of them decided to bolt. Teddy and Vern would of left when their father began to beat up Eyeball, but were too uneasy to go in to the hallway. Worried that he may still be around. Geordie would of stayed behind with Chris to be supportive, but would of wanted to leave with the other two.
Chris was sitting on his bed when his brother woke up. Eyeball sat up with a start, still suffering from the effects of the beating. "wow fuck". he said through his teeth. The gang member tried to get up but almost fell on the floor at first.
"shit Eyeball". Chris got up and helped him sit back down.
Eyeball didn't even try to stop his little brother from helping him out. It was the only time the two of them weren't wanting to kiss each other. They both knew what it was like to get beaten up by their father, and didn't feel right giving each other a hard time for it. knowing what the other one felt in that moment.
It was the one thing they bonded over.
It was the one time they showed each other they cared.
"you shouldn't go out tonight". Chris told him without asking in he even was. the younger boy knew that his older brother didn't give a shit about his appearance while out of the house. After a long time of this he'd just gotten used to it. his brother rely stayed in anyway.
"the guys are expecting me". the chambers boy shrugged it off like it didn't matter.
"will you stay out all night again?".
Eyeball through about going over to Ada's. but decided that he wanted to give her, her space. He thought if he were always with her she'd get either bored annoy with him. he also didn't want her to see him like this. Also coming home may be best for Chris if their father was on a bender. The older brother shook his head. "I'll come back later tonight. I don't feel like stayin' out late anyways".
"your just gonna make you grand appearance and leave". The younger boy scoffed.
"somthin like that". Eyeball chuckled.
"I think you should put some alcohol on your cuts".
"lucky I'm going to the bar then".
The bar later that night.
Eyeball stood out front of the bar, hesitant to go in right away.
He stuck out of the window not wanting to run in to his dad if he were out the front of the house. Plus if he were passed out on the lawn he would battle with the idea of running him over.
He took a deep breath and walked in to the bar with his head down.
"fuckin' bout time". Ace said noticing Eyeball walked in to the bar. He still kept his head down.
"were ya with the chick?. That why you kept us waitin' again". Billy grumbled.
Vince wolf whistled. "have fun at your house with her?".
"Mmm". Was all he could muster. As much as he'd loved to brag about what had happened between him and his girlfriend while in his bedroom. But didn't want to talk about them after what his dad had done to him.
"what does Mmm mean?". Charlie snickered.
"it was okay". he shrugged. The waitress brought him a beer over. "thanks doll". He took it from her.
"hi Eyeball". She smirked.
"Mmm". He took a swig, not paying her any mind.
She frown at his reaction to her. normally the two would flirt a bit, the two had a thing awhile back but that wasn't saying much because she tended to have a thing with all the cobras. But she'd be lying if she said Eyeball wasn't her favourite.
"don't mind him Cammie, he's gone off and gotten himself a little girlfriend now". Ace chuckled, While shooting pool.
"yeah, they hold hands and he buys cookie's for her". Charlie laughed.
"it's real serious". Fuzzy snickered.
"a girlfriend?". She said in shook. Either Eyeball didn't noticed the tone in her voice, or just didn't care.
"yeah, they was alone in his room earlier". Billy made an sexual gesture with the pool stick, while he moved his eyebrows up and down.
Eyeball choose to ignore that to.
"when did this happen?". Cammie asked raising her eyebrows.
"when you wasn't around". the chambers boy replied, taking a bigger swig of his beer.
"how long has this been going on?". she turned to asked the guys. putting on a very, very fake smile. The boys didn't notice how fake it was.
"don't know he hid it from us for so long". Ace got the ball in the hole.
"why'd he hide it?... she an ugo or something". The waitress joked.
"we thought so at first". Charlie shrugged.
"at first?".
"we thought she was….. then we saw her legs".
"Billy shut up". Eyeball said eyeing his friend. all Billy did was laugh.
"is that she only good feather?".
"surprisingly no". Ace took another shot. "you wouldn't know her Cammie. She's a loner".
"yeah a hot loner". Charlie stretched. "ohh boy I gotta tell ya Eyeball. If you hadn't to her first…..".
"Charlie I'm daring ya to finish that sentence". The chambers boy warmed.
"touchy, touchy". Mudgett joked.
"what do you mean by surprisingly no?".
"he's means she can be a bitch but we wouldn't be surprised if everyone who saw her wouldn't mind fuckin' her". Billy took his shot.
"who is she?".
"Ace was right ya wouldn't know her". said Eyeball looking down at the ground.
"Ada Bloom". Vince spoke.
"Ada Bloom". Her eyes widened. "I've heard of her. isn't she like really weir….".
"don't you have drinks to give out?, don't; you have a job to do". for the most part Eyeball remine calm with what they were saying. But that didn't mean he was gonna let them insult his girlfriend. Especially a chick he use to have a fling with.
"fine, I can take a hint".
"can you?". the chambers boy snarked.
Cammie stormed off.
"bit hash buddy". Billy laughed.
"you taking second game?". Ace asked him finishing off his game, and winning.
Eyeball shook his head.
"ya okay buddy?".
Eyeball looked up at his friend for the first time since entering the bar.
Seeing his face all the boys instantly felt uncomfortable. Knowing what happened to their friend. Ace nodded understandably at him. "kay buddy".
Fuzzy decided to change the subject.
"any of you hear about what happened Harry Clams".
"no what?". Billy said.
"he was caught with his girlfriend behind the bleachers….". Fuzzy's voice faded away to Eyeball as he tried to figure out how he was meant to hid this from Ada…. If he could.
