Don't Fall For Me.
Chapter Six.
Butch Pov.
"Good Morning, Bro."
Boomer greeted me, handing over a cup of lemonade. He seemed cheerful, as usual.
I headed towards the shower. I wanted to leave early. I want to see Karin.
"Have a safe trip, Butch." Boomer said, still smiling like a dog.
"Tell Karin I said Hi." Brick chirped in.
With that, I was off.
I went to the school, I looked for her. I knew she was going to be in the dance room so I went there, running at full speed. I peeped in and saw her stretching her beautiful legs.
"I know you're there, Butch."
I came out, looking at her. She glared.
"Why are you here? Again?"
"To see you, of course."
"Why? I told you didn't I? I don't like you."
"But…"
"Don't make this hard. Just go home."
I couldn't understand her. She was always so mean to me, always brushing me off like I was some nobody to her. What did she see me as anyway? A kid? Just like that?
She ignored me, really wanting me to go home. I just couldn't. I stepped closer, wanting to hold her. She turned and backed away. "Go home." She snarled. Oh God.
I couldn't really take it. She was mad, really mad. I left without saying another word. I guess I should go the studio then, maybe I'll forget everything that happened.
I opened the door. It was really quiet. I figured no one would be here this early. I grabbed my guitar, I want to forget her—I want to forget Karin so badly. But I couldn't, because she's my everything. I really like her.
The door opened, it was Jake. He was wearing baggy pants, a checkered shirt and big glasses. First time in my life I've seen a band member of mine be here this early. I smiled and waved at him, he waved back as he grabbed his keyboard and fixed it. I assume he was going to practice, probably because the concert's tomorrow night.
"Jake."
"Yea?"
"How's it going?"
"Oh you know, been in bed with some girls, got drunk and spending lots of money these days."
"Are you fucking with me?"
"Just kidding, Boss."
He laughed I smirked. This little rascal really is funny. He looks like a real nice guy, Pretty fun to be with too.
Jake practiced. I stared at him, I couldn't get my hands working because of what happened with Karin. He played the song so, beautiful. His hands moved fast yet really cool. He looked, awesome. I was in total shock.
He stopped and looked at me, probably going to ask me why I'm staring at him. I smiled at him, he smiled back and got two bottles of water, giving one to me.
"Thanks."
"You seem down."
He noticed. Of course anyone would notice, whenever I'm down, I'm always deep in thought. That's why. I wanted to tell him why but I've had it already, I just couldn't talk about Karin again. I avoided the subject and said it wasn't anything important.
As time went by, Jake remained silent. I did too and when it was time for Jake to leave, I said I'll leave too. He smiled and opened the door, the two of us walked together again. We both stayed at some restaurant as he bought some dumplings when I bought just some shake.
"Hungry much?"
"Nah, I just love dumplings!"
"Really? Dumplings? Wait 'till the guys hear about this!"
"Very funny, boss. They're yummy you know."
He looked at me, glaring but that soon faded away as he chomped one of the dumplings. He looked really happy eating those. I was a little bit curious on how it tasted so I took his hand which had one dumpling on, snatching it. "Hey!" He complained.
"That was mine."
I could see the guy blush. Seriously? A guy blushing in midday light? Wow.
"You ass. Buy me more!"
"No freaking way dude. It was just one dumpling."
He looked at me, with puppy dog eyes. What the fuck? He does that these days anyway? I could tell he was just kidding though.
To be honest though, I have to admit Jake is really adorable. The way he acts, teases me, laughs and talks is basically like that of a girl. I'm not saying he's gay and all, but I really like this guy. He lifted up my bad mood.
After the meal, we went to some bar. There were a lot of girls digging us. Well, especially me. Jake looked around, I could tell he was new to this place.
We had some bottles, talking about stuff. We laughed, talked and laughed some more. Jake had four already and was about to have another bottle. I was already dizzy, having lose my sense of sight and smell. Jake gobbled down his fifth drink in one shot, I was impressed.
"Hey Butch, you alright? Don't fall asleep just yet! Hey!"
"I know, I know. Shut up."
"Butch you, hic, Wimpy ass."
"Who you calling wimpy?"
My head felt heavy, so did my body. I was about to doze off. Just when I saw nothing but blur, I finally gave in. My body crashed, on the floor. Jake saved me though, he caught me and tried to get me to stand up. I could hear him call out my name.
Just as I was about to reach out to him, I felt something soft against my hand. It was really soft, I couldn't let go of it, I just squeezed it. As my eyes regained consciousness, I saw Jake, enraged.
I saw my hand on his chest. That was the soft thing I was holding on to? Jake flinched, he slapped me, Slapped me real hard.
