Chapter 3
Honker just couldn't believe what had just happened.
Nate's car is just totally trashed. There was his love hurt in the car.
"Oh my god! What have I done?" He asked.
He then heard a car coming.
"Oh god." He said.
Scared out of his head he got in the car and drove off.
Gosalyn was starting to wake up. She moaned and looked back at Nate.
"Oh my god! Nate, baby are you okay?" She asked.
Nate groaned and moved a little. "Yeah I'm fine. How about you?" He asked.
"I think so too." She replied.
The other car stopped and Morgana got out of the car,
"OH MY GOD! Kids!" She exclaimed.
She ran to the door and got another flash of Honker.
She shook it out and opened the door. "You kids all right?" She asked.
"Yeah, we're fine Morgana." Gosalyn said.
"Good don't move. I'm going to call the police. Just don't move." She said.
She closed the door behind her and pulled out her cell phone.
"I need an ambulance. My step daughter and her boyfriend are hurt. Please hurry!" She exclaimed.
She put the phone away and opened the door back up. "Helps coming kids." She said/
Gosalyn and Nate held hands and smiled.
Honker arrived back at his house scared to shit.
He then ran to his room and broke down crying. Tank walked in again with what else alcohol.
"Hey, Want a sip?" He asked.
Honker didn't respond he just sat there looking at the wall.
Back at a hospital..
Gosalyn is getting stitches on the back of her head.
"Be careful back there. Be careful. OW OW OW! I'll kick you're ass!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
She then got in a kung fu move. "Oh, grasshopper. If you can remove the pebble from my hand. I no longer kick you're ass." Gosalyn said.
Morgana just looked at her weird. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"Gosalyn fu." She said.
"What about to kung fu?" Morgana asked.
"Can't do Kung fu." Gosalyn said high on pain killers.
"Why not?"
"Cause you have to use both hands. And this one is kind of fucked up." She said holding up in a cast.
Morgana just chuckled at that and rolled when her eyes when Drake came running in.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Some crazy drunk ran into us. Causing us to- ow- crash- ow- into- a- OW! Tree! God damn it hurts!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
Drake hugged Gosalyn and then looked at Morgana. "What did the doctor say?" He asked.
"She's going to be fine Drake. She just needs 50 stitches in her head. And a cast on her right arm."
"Ow. Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Gosalyn said.
"Hold on you're almost done." The nurse replied.
"This sucks. This sucks. Really bad this sucks. Damn it." Gosalyn said.
Drake was so pissed off. "When I get my hands on the guy who did this. He's going to wish he was never born." Drake said.
Morgana just sat there. She didn't want to accuse anybody.
"There you're all done. And you're good to go." The nurse said.
Gosalyn hopped down from the stool. "Ha! We meet again!" She said.
"Come on Gos. Let's get you home." Drake said.
Back with Honker..
Binki ran in the room. "Honker, we just heard that Gosalyn and her boyfriend Nate got in a terrible accident."
"Oh, is she okay?" Honker asked.
"Yeah, she's going to be fine. And Nate will be okay too."
"Oh that's good." He said.
He just wanted to leave. He couldn't believe that he had done that.
'How can I ever face her again?' He thought.
In the car with Gosalyn and Drake.
Gosalyn is just in a good mood still. "I'm loopy. I'm loopy! I'm loopy loopy loopy!" She said.
Drake looked at her for a second. "Yes you are." He replied.
Gosalyn gasped and tapped her dad on the shoulder. "Dad, watch this. I can catch my hand." She said. She started waving her hand in front of her face and laughing like an idiots.
"What kind of medication did they give you?" He asked.
"The good kind. Oh, look pretty clouds." She said pointing out the window.
"Yeah they are very pretty Gos." He added.
"Honker's drinking." She said.
Drake looked at her shocked. "What?!" He asked.
"He's drinking like a fish! Oh look, I can make a fish face." She said.
She made a fish face and laughed again.
Drake was stunned that she had said that.
"What did you say?" He asked.
"I'm a fish. See." She said.
Drake knew that he wouldn't get any thing else from her.
So he dropped it and kept driving home.
The car pulled up to the Mallard house..
And Drake walked to the door to help Gosalyn out.
"Alright, just wait while I help you to the door okay?" He asked.
"Look I'm Superman! I can fly!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
She started to run fast and ran into the door. And fell down in the snow. "Ow. I fell down and went boom." She laughed.
Drake sighed and helped her up.
"This is going to be a long night." He said.
He then noticed Honker's car banged up.
"Hmm…" He said.
Gosalyn couldn't open the door. "I want in. The doors broken." She said.
Drake chuckled at that and opens the door for her. "How you do that?" She asked.
"Magic." He mussed.
"I like magic." Gosalyn said.
She walked in and Drake just chuckled and walked in behind her and closed the door.
The next morning..
Gosalyn comes walking down the stairs feeling normal.
"Well good morning Gos." He said.
"Morning." She replied.
"So.. seen any pretty clouds yet?" He laughed.
Gosalyn looked at him confused. "What?" She asked.
"Last night, you were talking about the pretty clouds." He said.
She just gave him a blank look.
"Don't look at me like that Gos. You weren't all there last night. You was singing and dancing."
She just stood there looking confusing. "Alrighty then dad. Can I call Nate? I want to see how he's doing." She said.
"Um.. sure. But you still can't see him. Um.. before you do. Can I ask you something?" He asked.
"Sure."
"Last night you said that Honker's drinking. Is that true?"
Gosalyn paused at that but quickly came up with something.
"Dad, you really need to stop making things up." She said.
"But you did.."
"Dad, just drop it." She said.
She walked into the kitchen to call Nate.
Drake just stood there not knowing what to believe when the door bell rang.
"Who could that be?" He asked.
He walked to the door and answered the door.
It was Morgana.
"Morgana what are you doing here?" Drake asked.
"I'd thought that I'd stop by to have a chat with Gosalyn." Morgana said.
"Oh okay. She's in the kitchen. Come on in." Drake said.
Morgana walked in and Drake closed the door behind him.
Gosalyn comes walking out with a glass of orange juice.
"Dad, don't worry its only orange juice. But here if you want to make sure. Take it." She said.
"It's okay Gos. I trust you." He said.
Morgana walked up to her and smiled. "Gos, can I talk to you?" She asked.
Gosalyn nodded her head. "Sure Morgana what's up?" She asked.
"How about if I treat you to break feast?"
"Sounds good to me. See ya dad." Gosalyn said.
"Wait, don't forget you're cell phone." Drake said.
Gosalyn walked over to the table and grabbed it. "Got it dad." She said.
She put it in her pocket and Morgana and Gosalyn walked out of the house.
Drake sighed and looked out the window. "I will make the creep pay for this Gos. Mark my words." He said.
At a run down pancake restaurant.
The two of them are sitting down at the table. Gosalyn is just playing with her food.
"So are you happy that I took you out?" Morgana asked.
Gosalyn looked up. "What?" She asked.
"You happy to be here?"
Gosalyn rolled her eyes. She was still pissed off at everything. "Oh yes I am. Just last week I woke up in bed sobbing. I will never be happy until we return to uh.. Papa's Pancake house. And now we're here. Thank you for bringing me." She said.
"Oh come on Gos. This is a great restaurant."
"Okay."
"They have a good food."
"Okay."
"This is a great restaurant."
Gosalyn chuckled at that. "Have you looked around? Holy crap! Sucks!"
"There's a lot of history here."
"Translated old as shit."
"They've been rebuilding."
"Polish a turd. It's still a turd." Gosalyn said.
"I'm trying to have a good conversation with you Gos. I can tell something's on you're mind."
"Really? Let's see. You guys made me break up with my boyfriend for something that I didn't do. Got a car accident. Got stitches in the back of my head. Oh yeah, I'm just doing good." She said.
Morgana sighed. "It will only be a little while. Until we know that you're good."
"For the tenth hundred time! I DON'T HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"Hmm… is that all that's been bugging you? You know I can read minds."
Gosalyn didn't want say what was really bothering her yet. "Morg, if something was wrong I would tell you."
"Is it about Honker's drinking problem?"
Gosalyn looked at her shocked. "How did you?" She asked.
"I'm a physic remember?"
"Oh yeah. My bad." Gosalyn said.
"So how long has it been going on?"
"A few days. I think."
"Is that all?"
"No, I just got this bad feeling. That he's hiding something from me."
Morgana paused and looked at her.
"I didn't want to say anything. But I think Honker was responsible for the crash."
Gosalyn spat out her orange juice. "WHAT?! Oh come on Honker? The boy who is scared to go on a roller coasters cause there's a 100 to 1 chance something will go wrong."
"Think about it Gos. Would I tell you something like this. If I didn't believe it?"
"No you wouldn't."
"So.."
Gosalyn sighed and paused. "Just let me talk to him first. Before I start accusing him of things." Gosalyn said.
The two of them got up and headed out of the restaurant.
Just then Honker showed up. He was about to make a break for it.
"Honk wait! I need to talk to you." Gosalyn said.
Honker stopped and Morgana looked at Gosalyn. "I'll see you guys later." She said.
She walked away and Gosalyn looked at Honker.
"Hey, I uh.. heard about what happened. I'm glad to hear that you're okay." Honker said.
Gosalyn sighed. "Okay Honk. I'm going to ask you something. And I want you to be honest with me okay?"
"Okay asks." He said.
"Was you the other driver last night?" Gosalyn asked.
Honker was stunned. "What? How could you even ask me that!"
"Just tell me the truth Honk. That's all I want."
"I can't believe that you're even asking me this!"
Gosalyn noticed that he didn't look at her in the eyes and she knew.
"OH MY freaking GOD! It is true! You are the other driver!" She exclaimed.
"What? No!" Honker exclaimed.
"Honk, I know you better then anyone! You didn't look at me in the eyes! How could you?! You got drunk and got behind the wheel of a car."
"I saw you and Nate together and I thought.."
"We were breaking up Honk! And I could have told you that. If you had waited."
"Oh."
"Oh? Is that all you have to say is oh? You could have killed us! What did you think that I wasn't going to find out? My dad's fucking Darkwing Duck! My step moms a physic! What in the hell were you thinking?!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"I was scared Gos."
"Scared of what?"
"Losing you. I was on my way to tell you how I feel about you. We had the fight and I.."
"Oh okay. That makes every thing better. Yes we had a fight so what! That doesn't give you the right to get drunk and behind a wheel of car! You don't get it! I don't want excuses. I just want the truth. You keep making stuff up. And not a single I'm sorry! I can't do this anymore."
"Do what?"
"Be you're friend. It's not worth it anymore."
"Oh come on. After all the stuff that you did."
Gosalyn couldn't believe that. "Whoa whoa whoa. Back the truck up. What I do and this. Are two completely different things. So don't give me that bullshit. Honker, what I did. Didn't almost kill any body. And I don't let my so called best friend take the blame. For something that I did. I got in trouble for you dude!" Gosalyn exclaimed.
"You didn't have to. You could have told them the truth."
"I did it because I thought you was my best friend. And that you would come clean. Once you had seen me get in trouble. But you didn't do you? You just kept making more lies about it."
"I know and I'm sorry."
"Too late now. I have to turn you in." She said.
Honker was stunned by that. "What?"
"I have to. I can't let the police keep looking for somebody. When I know who it is already."
"Gos.."
"Honker, right now. I am so pissed off at you. I have never been this pissed off at anybody. What really gets me is that you didn't speak up. When I asked you what was wrong. You lied. When I got in trouble. You lied. When I got hurt. What a surprise you lied again. I don't believe a word you say anymore. What in the hell were you thinking?!" Gosalyn said.
"I wasn't."
"You right about that.. You weren't. You let you're jealousy ruin what I thought was a good friendship. I mean what if it wasn't me and Nate. It could have been somebody else."
"I get it."
"I don't think you do. I… I don't even know you anymore. Thanks for the wonderful Christmas present. You must be very proud of you're self now. Me and Nate broke up. So now you can have me all to you're self. Ooops, that's right. It's never going to happen. The sight of you makes me sick!"
"Gos.."
"Just shut the hell up Honker! You are suck fucking lair! Everything is a lie!"
"I.."
"What part of SHUT THE HELL UP don't you get? Honker, I thought that you were my best friend! Best friends don't do this to each other. Good thing I still have Ally."
"Gosalyn.." Honker said.
Just then Ally came walking up. "Oh m god! Gosalyn, you're alive!"
Gosalyn smiled at her. "Hey girl. Yeah I'm doing good." She said.
She sensed that something was up.
"Um.. feel like getting a pizza?" Ally asked.
"No, I'm still grounded."
"I can't believe that! You would never do that! I hope that they catch the guy and toss his ass in jail."
Gosalyn didn't take her eyes of Honker. "Me too." She replied.
"Well I'll see you guys after Christmas. I'm going to Florida with the rents. Merry Christmas." Ally said.
She walked away and Honker sighed. "So now what?" He asked.
"Now you better get a good lawyer."
"Then Tank better get one too."
"What?"
"He's the one that gave me the alcohol."
Gosalyn couldn't believe this. "Oh my fucking god! More excuses! He didn't pour the booze down you're throat did he?"
"No."
"And he didn't make you get behind the wheel while drunk?"
"No but.."
She was about to respond when her cell phone rang.
"That's probably my dad. Wondering if I'm drunk." She said.
She pulled it out and answered it. "Hey pops… I'm fine… Just some stupid ass that's all. I'll tell you everything when I get home. Be home in a flash." She said.
She hangs it up.
"So you're really going to tell him huh?" Honker asked.
"A duh!" She replied.
She was about to walk away when he grabbed her close and kissed her.
