Wow, this one took along time to update. To be fair californication is an extremely addictive show. So this one will be will be from Toris perspective. i know this one is taking awhile to get going but there's not need to be upset. I intend this to be a long fic, so yea. Enjoy
I started the walk to my friends house at about 10:50. I had Walked the route since I was a little rout was on the way to Sam, Freddie, and Carlys houses respectively . As I walked I hummed I always did and half. When I little i use to just sing out loud but my mom made me stop. On this particular walk I was humming "Kinda of a drag" by the cunninghams, It was the last song I had listened to before my 28 minutes was up.
The walk wasn't very long to Freddie's house, after about 15 minutes I had made it to Freddies. That poor little nerd hadn't had anything close to a girlfriend in years. Well that was until Carly finally said yes a couple of months ago, we all thought it would end after one date. But we were proven oh so wrong.
Befor I could even begin to walk to his front door he came stumbling out the front door of his home clutching his precious super 8 camera,Damn kid never went anywhere without it. "for christ sake mom I'm 17 I don't need you to…" was all he could yell before he saw me and quickly shut up. His mother made my father, a police officer mind you, seem like a hippie in comparison."So" I called to him "what was that all about"? looking up with an angered look all he said was "Things that ought not be discussed in polite company".
The whole of the nearly 20 minute walk to Sams house was filled entirely with Freddie's usual venting about his mother, and me listening like a good friend. As we rounded the corner to Sams house I had to stop him."You know I thought you had carly for the exact reason of bitching about your mom to her"I asked exhausted from his complaining? "Yes but shes not here so you get to listen" he said as we made our way up to Sams front door.
I didn't even bother to knock, the two of us just went in. Our blonde friends mother had apparently sobered up quickly and made it to work. She wasn't a bad mother, per se, but she wasn't winning any awards anytime soon. Freddie knocked on Sams door, but she sprung out of the room and locked him in an attack hug before he could finish. " yer baked as an apple pie aren't you" he said dryly. "well yea, what gave it away" she said with that signature light headed sound in her voice."Where do I begin, when you not high you would sooner punch me than hug me, and you stink like Jim morrison" the boy said before pushing the stoner off of him.
The next several minutes of our walk was mostly Sam telling us about how she had listened to the new beatles album about a million times high. thank fully we made it to carly's house quickly enough. Freddie knocked but before the 4th member of our group made it to the door I saw something that always pulled at my heart. It was the red, white, and blue banner on their door, I was a reminder every time I was at her house of spencer.
He had always been the adult of our group, he was just a bug funny weirdo that we all loved. But 10 months ago he got the letter. Spencer was shipped out to Vietnam a few months was totaly suriel, guys from my school had been drafted before. But it was impossible for me to imagine Spencer ever fighting or killing someone. Hell the only reason for him passing basci was his and carly's dad was a sub commander in ww2, he could have gotten his son out. But it was his dream to see his boy on the front lines.
Carly emerged and was quickly met with a kiss from Freddie, Sam wrapped her arms around the two of them. In all honesty baked Sam a was fun Sam. After that we all piled into the 1958 Cadillac Coupe deville that was waiting in her driveway.
As rolled down the street Carly flipped on the radio and we all sang along. It was Respect by Aretha Franklin, I had to say Freddie knew the song surprisingly well."So" I spoke up after the song was over. "Do you guys have any plans for this summer?"."Weed and The Beatles" Sam said with her slightly glazed over tone."Taking a film class at Chicago U" Freddie stated frankly."We" Carly said taking Freddie's hand "Will be attending a protest at the campus against the war".I pulled myself forward in the seat "wait Carly your dad is letting you go"? "what he doesn't know can't hurt him" she said with a devious smile.
"Ya know I just had a thought" Sam piped up from the back seat next to me. mide you our dear friend was still very high."You baked Sam, we can assure you John lennon isn't trying to send you messages through his albums" Freddie said not looking up from his camera. "No no that was just stupid,Its Jim morrison". I couldn't read Carlys or Freddies minds but i was sure we were all thinking what the hell went through that girls head?"but no thats not what i wanted to say, It was why Tori graduated before Freddy"? Carly and I couldn't help but laugh at her observation."Oh shut up Sam, you all know gym isn't a real class" Feedie said as he shot a glare at Sam.
We continued to drive along until we made our way to the festable. After we got our tickets we roamed around to fairgrounds for a couple of hour. Most of Smas weed had worn off and her THC filled ramblings had ended. So she returned to her usual attitude of "be mean to Freddie" for every reason imaginable.
"Oh my god what time is it" I said panicked. "about 5:53 pm" Freddie said checking his watch.I dropped my corn dog, god those things are my weakness, and started to run towards the stage. All I heard Carly say was "hey Tori wait…" before I was out of earshot. I was half out breath by the time I had made it across the fairgrounds. I looked up and then I saw them, More accurately her.
Jesus I really can't tell why this took so long to update. I will try to be more consistent with my updates, but then again I'm a lazy mother fucker so yea. please fave review fallow and I hope i can update sooner than this time.
