Chapter 11

Pizza place

Sharon and Angela are sitting in a corner by the window. They have a pizza in front of them that neither have touched instead they had drained a few glasses of coke. Sharon was holding Angelas hand and listening to all that Angela had to say regarding what happened between her parents.

Sharon-"Oh my god Angela, I'm so sorry that's awful"
Angela-"and now my mom is in bits and I don't know how to help her"
Sharon-"Angela you'll all get through this. You have always had me to rely on and I'll continue helping you in whatever way I can. So If you wanna rant rant, if you wanna cry then cry, If you wanna talk i'll listen and if you just want silence I'll TRY and be quiet"

Angela laughed at Sharons last sentence. No matter how good a friend Sharon was Angela knew she wouldn't be able to remain quiet. It just wasn't in Sharons nature.

Sharon-"Are you going to try and eat some of this Pizza? You haven't eaten a thing for hours"
Angela-"Sharon I can't like eat. Not now. I'm fine"

Sharon didn't want to push Angela any further, she started nibbling on a bread stick absent mindedly looking around the busy restaurant.

Shane-"One large meat feast, 2 glasses of pepsi and 3 sides of garlic bread please"Pizza guy- "ok guys take a seat and you're order will be with you shortly"
Jordan-"Hold up, I haven't ordered yet"
Stunned the pizza guy looked at the both of them-"That last order was just for you?" nodding towards Shane.

Shane slightly bemused by the pizza guys reaction-" Yea so, I'm like starving"
Pizza guy- "Ok then sir, what will you be having"
Jordan-"Same as him, but without mushrooms"
Pizza guy- "Ok go find a seat if you can and i'll be right over with your orders"

Shane scoured the restaurant looking for an available table, they all seemed full.
The screech of a car drew his attention to the window, it was then that Shane saw Sharon and Angela.

Shane-"Hey Catalano, you were worried about Angela right"
Jordan-"Yea I am, why what's up"
Shane-"Nothing man, look she's sitting right there. With that big tittied chick..Sharon is it?"

Jordan felt his stomach tie into knots, Whenever he saw Angela it gave him butterflies.A broad smile spread across his face, half relief that Angela was ok and half joy.

Jordan-"C'mon Shane lets go. Oh yea don't call Sharon big tits, I don't think she'd appreciate it somehow"
Shane-"Dude give me some credit, I know how to act around the ladies"
Jordan laughed at his best friend and replied- "Which is why you're so friendly with your hand right?"

Shane was stumped. What was his friends infatuation with the amount of times he jerked off in a day. Didn't all guys spend most of their time doing that?

Angela blew her nose in a napkin, as she looked up she saw Jordan standing over her. He had a goofy grin, kind of like a kid waiting for his favourite auntie to give him candy.

Angela-"Jordan! What are you doing here"
Jordan bent down and gave her a lingering kiss, not removing his gaze from her lips he replied- "Eating"

Angela moved along the table so Jordan could take his place at her side. Shane had no other option than to sit next to Sharon.

Shane-"Cherski right"
Sharon-"Bingo, how ya doing"
Shane-"Starving man, wasting away" He grabbed a breadstick which was the other side of Sharon meaning he had to lean across her to get to them. His elbow grazed her breasts and Shane felt himself glow the same colour of crimson as Angelas hair.
Shane-"Oh erm..sorry. They just kinda like, got in my way. No offence"

Jordan kicked Shane under the table and part smirked part scowled at his friend.
Sharon wasn't impressed.

Sharon- "Yes I have big breasts, get over it. I've had to"
Shane-"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to it was an accident. Can we like eat?"

To distract everyones gaze from his embarrassment Shane started calling for his Pizza, therefore embarrassing himself further.
He looked at Sharon and smiled. Sharon rolled her eyes at him.

Jordan held fast to Angelas hand. He could she that she had been crying a lot.

Jordan V/O- What have I done? wait ..Have I done anything? Why is she so upset I can't bare to see her hurting

Jordan-"Angela,what's happened? Your eyes are all puffy in a cute kind of way." He squeezed Angelas hand.
Angela- "My dad has left my mum. It's been a long night and I've talked and talked about this til I cant talk anymore. I'm talked out Jordan. Can we just eat and talk about normal things?"

Jordan felt hurt that Angela couldn't share what had fully happened with him. He should have been the first person she turned to in times like this. He was also in shock that a solid family like Angelas could seem to crumble as it did.

Jordan-"Babe, it's cool. We don't have to talk or whatever."

Angela looked at Jordan. She put her hand to his face and then stroked the hair on the back of his head. So soft, so safe , so comforting.

Anglea still stroking Jordans hair- "How did practise go"
Jordan took Angelas hand and pressed his lips to it. He marvelled at how delicate her fingers were and kissed each one.
Jordan-" Mmmm it was ok, kinda sucked but we're getting there slowly"

Shanes pizza arrived. He ate with abandon and no thought for manners or the people around him.
Shane with his mouth full of pizza-" This pizza rules, man I'm SO hungry"
Sharon-"You eat like a pig"
Shane-"Like it huh?" and winked at Sharon Sharon took a long swig of her coke.

Sharon-So Jordan, Angelas staying at mine for a few days. You want my number so you can like call her"
Jordan- "Um, I dont like usually call a lot so I guess not"
Shane nearly choked on his pizza on hearing that. Not only had Jordan wasted half of band practise trying to call Angela he was now denying ever knowing what a phone was for!

Jordan saw this and once again kicked Shane under the table.
Shane spat his food everywhere from the impact of Jordans foot.

Shane-"Easy man, Jesus you trying to kill me or what?"

Sharon and Angela looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Jordan-"So Cherski, can I kidnap Angela for a coupke of hours after we finsish this food or what"Sharon rather put out-"Wait- what will I do for those two hours"
Jordan looked over at Shane who had almost finished his pizza and was eyeing Sharons food.
Jordan-"You can stay with Shane, he doesn't bite"
Sharon-"I don't know man, we have to like stay together"
Angela- "Sharon, I'll be back in time to get back to your house. I just want to be on my own with Jordan for a bit. You understand right?"

Sharon sighed and nodded her head.

Sharon V/O- I understand all right, 3rd wheel being set up with imbecile number 2, looking over at Shane. Though he is kinda cute..In a slobby kind of way...

Jordan and Angela were feeding each other their pizzas. Shane and Sharon couldn't help but look at them in morbid fascination.
Sharon-"Funny how she's suddenly got her appetite back"
Shane-"I've always got an appetite"

They smiled at each other awkwardly, and continued watching the Angela and Jordan show.

After they had eaten Jordan and Angela then proceeded to make out passionately .

Sharon-"You guys are gross, can't you like do that somewhere else"
Shane-"Yea you guys are putting me off Sharons pizza"

Jordan-"Ok lets get out of here Angela. I know a place"
Angela-"Ok lets go, I could do with some fresh air"

Angela and Jordan stood up, they said they're goodbyes to a worried Shane and Sharon and left.

Shane looked at Sharons breasts before he looked at her face.
Shane" so um..what do we do now?"
