Ch. 11 Switzerland's Secret Journal
June 1,
Well, since Lili and Elizaveta can no longer worry about getting Bella and I to date (because I told them not to, like 50 times) they've taken up their old interest. They've gone back to finding ways to make Rodderiech and me friends "again". And believe me, I prefer this way much more than them trying to make me ask out Bella (I'm never going through all that confusion ever again). I don't understand why some people (Elizaveta) like to involve themselves in drama. Seriously, if Elizaveta wasn't so nosy, '83 may have never happened (I can dare to dream). Elizaveta has got to get a hobby or something.
June 2,
I sure hope that my recent date with Bella hasn't affected Lili somehow. She's been "playing" with Emil a lot lately. I should really have a talk with Niklas about Emil's undesirable behavior.
June 3,
Niklas told me that he really doesn't care that much about what Emil does. He said that he thinks Emil is annoying, and while I agree with him, I don't think any older sibling should neglect their little brother/sister. I told him that he should spend more time with Emil, maybe they could go on a picnic every now and then. The whole conversation just convinced me that I'm a great big brother.
June 4,
Well, my wonderful little sister managed to make my life awkward. I was at the supermarket (I ran out of cheese), and when I got home, Lili was sitting in the living room. Elizaveta was there too, but, of course, so was...Bella. I nearly dropped my groceries when I saw her there. Why did Lili bring her? This was definitely a setup. Lili asked me, "Big bruder, why don't you sit down and join us?" I replied by telling her that I needed to clean my gun. Then I grabbed the dirtiest, oldest gun that I have, and showed it to Lili as proof. Then Bella said, "That gun is a Mosin Nagant. It's Russian-made, and takes 7.62x54mm caliber rounds." My jaw dropped! She was spot on! If she's saying all this to sound attractive, then it's working. Why does she have to be so...perfect? The gun cleaning can wait; I think I'll take a seat.
June 5,
I think yesterday went pretty well. We were drinking tea. I made my move on Bella by pouring her some tea when her cup was empty. I must be Romeo or something, because no one handles romance better than me.
June 6,
I guess Lili didn't notice that daring move I made two days ago. She hasn't mentioned it at all. Well, I'm not gonna make any more moves (as far as I know, after all, who can resist a woman who knows about guns?). I can't really explain how I feel about Bella. Everything gets awkward when I date her, but she's so attractive! She's everything that I ask for in a woman (and I'm not too demanding).
June 7,
Lili and Elizaveta must've realized that my constant "dating" with Bella has given Rodderiech less "bonding" time. Well, I'd rather bond with Bella than with Rodderiech. At least she knows what a gun is (unlike that aristocrat). Lili and Elizaveta made Rodderiech and I eat lunch together. I hate eating lunch with Rodderiech; he orders the cheapest food and never picks up the tab. We went to McDonald's, because we really weren't in the mood for eating. However, I did see Bella in the restaurant. I might've made it noticeable to Rodderiech that I was looking at her for extensive periods of time (not staring, I don't stare). He asked me, "Vash, are you drooling over your food or Bella?" It was quite obvious that, if I was drooling (which I wasn't) it was over the food, I was hungry.
June 8,
Lili asked me if we could go on a picnic. I couldn't see why not, so I agreed. I started making lots of sandwiches (you never know when you'll need extra). When we got everything into our picnic basket, we decided that we'll go to our area's local park. It's really nice there, it's in front of a lake, and there are lots of trees and flowers. It's amazing there, and I like going there. Little did I know that Lili led me into a trap. She invited Elizaveta, Rodderiech, and Bella. That's great, what was once family bonding turned into a date. Why wouldn't I expect this? Now I need to act like I'm not feeling awkward. I'll write down what happens later. I need to set up the picnic cloth.
June 9,
Well, I for one, think that that picnic went very well. The Bad Touch Trio showed up. Antonio tried to beat me up, but his punches are weak. Lili started punching Antonio for punching me. Gil was taking lots of pictures, so Bella was punching him for that (a woman who can fight...wow). Francis was rubbing his pelvis on a tree. I tied him to a different tree (with his crotch away from it, of course) for doing that in Lili's presence. Which reminds me, I should probably get him, I tied him there about ten hours ago, its dark outside, and wild animals might inhabit that park. The whole picnic was nothing but fighting. We barely ate. I guess that's what Lili and Elizaveta get for trying to trick me into dating Bella...again.
June 10,
I had a lot of leftover food from that disaster picnic that Lili and Elizaveta planned. I don't like wasting food (I paid good money for it) so basically what I do with the leftovers is that whenever Feliciano runs onto my property, I give him a sandwich and tell him that he can have more if he gets off my property. So far it's been working.
June 11,
You know when you go to a park in wooded areas, and there are signs that tell you not to feed wild animals because it makes them lose their fear of humans? I guess that rule applies to Feliciano, too. I gave him sandwiches so that he'll go away, but today, he ran onto my lawn, expecting a snack of some sort. I told him that I was out of sandwiches. That made him pretty upset. He was crying his eyes out. Eventually he ran home, still wiping tears from his face. I don't really feel bad about this, because Feliciano always cries. It's a completely different story if I make Lili, or even Bella cry (God forbid I ever do that).
June 12,
I guess Feliciano told Lovino that I didn't give him any food. He came to my door and said, "You chocolate-coated bastard! Why the •••• would you not give my brother any of your ••••ing food? He could've died of starvation, and it would've been all your fault, you •••hole! Now give my brother some food or I'll take your rifle and stick it up your ••• so far up that you'll be able to taste it! Are we clear?" I just slammed the door in his face. I know that when it comes to Lovino, he's all talk.
June 13,
Today, Lili was playing with Emil, Peter, and Raivis. Emil and Peter are complete idiots! Why on Earth would they decide to fight each other...for fun? It's probably just to show-off in front of Lili. Raivis is actually a decent kid. He didn't want to punch and kick his friends for enjoyment. If Emil or Peter end up getting hurt, I'm not going to help them one bit. If Lili gets hurt, I'd rush her to a hospital, and possibly take her to the intensive care unit if it's that bad. That's no joke.
June 14,
Today I went to see Toris and Edward. I just wanted to tell them how good of a kid Raivis is. I know he's not their brother, but he might as well be. I congratulated Toris and Edward for making Raivis normal (unlike Peter and Emil). The two seemed a bit surprised at my compliments. I'd prefer Lili dating Raivis (I think I'm gonna be sick), rather than Peter, or (God forbid) Emil.
June 15,
Lili got an invitation to Emil's 14th birthday party, which is in two days. Naturally I had to tell her she can go, because I can't say no to her. I'm going to keep an extra-sharp watch on Lili. Emil's turning 14, so when his hormones kick in I'm doomed. There probably won't be alcohol at this party, so at least it won't be like every single party I've been to in the past few months. I hope that there will be a good amount of people at the party, because that would give Emil and Lili less time...alone (I'm feeling queasy).
June 16,
Today I was just thinking about how much "fun" it will be at Emil's party tomorrow. I wonder who else will be there. Hopefully some responsible people (although, in my world there are very few of those). There probably won't be any alcohol, since it's a kid's party, but that won't stop the party from getting out of control. Maybe some strange event will happen and the party will be canceled (though I doubt it).
June 17,
Today, I brought Lili to Emil's house. I stayed at the party, of course. Besides, there were lots of adults there. It was actually pretty crowded, so that was good (the large number of people will provide less privet areas). The party was going quite well, until Mathias thought it would be a good idea to bring beer. This is a kid's birthday party! Why on Earth would anyone bring beer? Fortunately, none of the children drank any beer. It's not like there's too many to keep track of. There's only Lili, Michelle, Peter, Raivis, and Emil, so that's not a lot to look out for. I'm not going to get drunk this time, because I know that Elizaveta's at this party, and I forgot to bring my handcuffs. I'm just going to have a sip.
June 18,
That beer was pretty strong stuff. I think I blacked-out after three bottles (it usually takes way more to get me drunk). I woke up this morning in (I think) Niklas's bedroom. I knew something wasn't right when I saw that my pants were missing. I thought Oh no! Not again! But I looked over, and Elizaveta wasn't there. Bella was! I thought I was going to pass out again. How did this happen? Why are women so fond of me? Thank God that I woke up before she did, because she would never forgive me if she found out. I knew that if she woke up without pants, then she'd get suspicious; as she was sleeping, I tried to slip her pants back on, and when I did, I ran to get Lili (she was alright). She was sleeping, so I carried her home. I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. And I'm glad Lili was okay. I just don't know how I'll live with the guilt I have, knowing that I did...things to Bella. I like her, but I can't do that to her.
June 19,
I think Lili is getting suspicious. Today she asked me if I had a good time at the party. I responded by saying, "Well, I guess it was pretty good. Why are you asking me questions, Lili? Do you know about anything that might've happened at that party? Well, nothing happened! Especially not between me and Bella!" I swear, she knows that something's up. Lili's a smart girl, she'll figure it out sooner or later, and when she does, I'm doomed.
June 20,
Today, the Awesome Trio came to my front door. They asked me, "Vash, how was the party? Did you enjoy it? I know Bella did. What was it like?" First of all, I didn't enjoy it, because it's morally wrong to do that to Bella and then enjoy it afterwards. I like her, but I don't desire her (to some extent). I knew that something was up when they asked me this, though I had to give them $20 to tell me. They told me that I fell asleep in Niklas's bed at the party. When they saw me there, they thought it'd be funny to make it look like Bella and I did...stuff together. They got Bella, who was asleep on the couch, and they put her beside me, embracing me in her arms. And for good measure, they took off her pants. I told them that they must've taken off my pants too, since I wasn't wearing them when I woke up. They told me that they found me without pants on, so they didn't have to remove them. They also told me that in order for Bella to be next to me, they had to move Elizaveta, who was naked and on top of me. I guess it's good knowing that I never had an '83 moment with Bella (without her consent). But bad knowing that I had, yet again, another one with Elizaveta (I guess I'm used to it now).
June 21,
Lili must've read my journal again. She wanted to have a "talk" with me today. She told me that she was disappointed that I (accidentally) had an incident with Elizaveta...again. However, she told me that she was proud how I felt guilty when I thought I hit it off with Bella. Lili said that I respect and admire Bella, and that's why I don't want to have an '83 moment with her, no matter how pretty I think she is. She said that if I don't have Bella's consent on what I do, but I do it anyway, then I'd be "disgracing" her. Lili also told me not to ask Bella if I can go '83 on her, because I would be embarrassing her and Bella, because normal people don't do that. Well, I think I know how to have a relationship, Lili. After all, I've dated Bella...twice (take that Antonio).
June 22,
Today, I had a talk with Lili. I wanted to know what happened between her and Emil, maybe Peter (not so much Raivis). Lili didn't know what I referring to. Like she doesn't know. I asked her what Emil, or Peter, did to her. She told me that nothing happened. But that's exactly what she would want me to think. However, I can't back up my theory on Emil/Peter. Next time, I'll have to get proof of their guilt.
June 23,
Well, it would seem that Emil and Peter are innocent (this time). I asked some people at that party to tell me what they saw. Raivis and Michelle said that they were with Emil, Peter, and Lili, and they didn't see anything (probably because they're too busy kissing each other). I asked some adults, too. Edward, Toris, Berwald, Tino, Ludwig, and Kiku all denied knowledge of anything that may have happened to my sister. I guess it must be true, because those were all (somewhat) trustworthy people. I'm still not convinced that those two aren't after my sister, though.
June 24,
Lili told me that nothing happened between her and Emil, possibly Peter. She said that she's just friends with them. But I don't believe her; she's been "playing" with Emil a lot lately. Apparently, she watched cartoons and played (appropriate) games at Emil's party. I guess there's no harm done. However, Lili asked me to be a little less protective. No can do, Lili. I'm doing this for your own good. I've seen too much drama happen (mostly Elizaveta) to let that happen to you.
June 25,
Lili wanted me to "apologize" to Emil and Peter for "distrusting" them at that party. I've got nothing to apologize for, but I did it anyway. I know that if I don't, then Lili will get mad; and trust me, you do NOT want to see Lili when she's mad. I told Emil and Peter that I should've never doubted them, and that I have no reason not to trust them. It just confused them, because I never told those two that I don't trust them. Oh well, as long as it keeps Lili happy.
June 26,
Antonio must've finally found out about the Awesome Trio's prank at Emil's party. It took him eight days (it sure took him long enough) but he must've found out today. He told me, "Vash, did you like the idea of sleeping with my girlfriend? You're probably going to try and make that true. I know that you like Bella. You'd better back off my girlfriend...she's taken...by me!" Antonio doesn't understand that he's no longer dating Bella (if anyone is, I am). I didn't want to have to go through all this again, so I slammed the door on Antonio. When he's mad, he will not leave. It was a prank, anyway. Who cares? Does it even matter? And I will not make that idea true. What is wrong with people? And you're a bit slow on the update Antonio!
June 27,
Today Bella came to my door. She must've found out about the prank at Emil's party. She asked me, "Did you know anything about what happened at Emil's party between you and me?" I told her that I knew nothing until I woke up, and that it was all a prank. I didn't figure that out until two days later. She asked me how I felt when I saw her there next to me. I told her that I felt guilty, and that I'm feeling awkward now. That's all she wanted to know. Women are confusing. I guess she wanted to make sure I wasn't like Oh hell yes! When I saw her next to me. That's how Antonio would feel. I actually take her feelings into consideration because I'm not a jerk.
June 28,
Francis walked up to me at today's meeting. He said, "Vash, congratulations! I heard about what happened between you and Bella. You get around quite a bit!" He said it pretty loud, everyone was watching...even Bella. I knew I had to do something, so I punched Francis (he fell over, too) then I said, "It was a prank, and I feel horrible about it." I probably looked pretty bad-ass. Everyone looked shocked I could tell that Bella was impressed, I could see it in her eyes (not that I was looking into her eyes).
June 29,
Francis came to my front door, and asked for an apology for what I did yesterday. I told him that he deserved what he got. He should really think about what he's going to say before he says it. I slammed the door in his face, but it took him half an hour to actually realize that I wasn't going to open the door. He needs to learn to take a hint. Francis isn't really what I would call 'smart'.
June 30,
Lili found out that I never apologized to Francis for punching him. She wanted me to tell him I'm sorry about what happened. I told her that he doesn't deserve an apology. Lili told me that if I don't tell Francis that I'm sorry, then she'll ban me from using my guns for a week (again). That made me apologize, though I didn't mean it. Francis told me, "I knew I was right." He wasn't right, he deserved to get punched.
