AUSTIN:
I was so glad Ally liked the necklace I bought for her. I really liked her and I wanted to do a gesture that showed I did. I know she liked her teaching job, but I couldn't help but sympathize with her about how her students treated her like garbage. Especially the kid who wrote a paper on Oliver Twist and ended his paper by saying she "had too many tampons stuck in her private area and suck the dicks of drunk faggots (I didn't even like to say that word because it was horrible) for all the fucks he gave," or the kid who told me that she was a cranky old bitch who shoved things he didn't care about down his throat and said I could find a more attractive girl on a porn website. I didn't go looking for women on porn websites.
I wasn't a pervert, and that would be "internet prostituting." I already had had a girlfriend who was a prostitute. I had definitely had en eventful day considering one of my inmates had gashed herself with a knife and had just about the most gruesome wound I'd ever seen in my life. And ironically, there was a time last year when Cadence got her braces stuck to her cheek and had to go to the emergency room and I had to leave work (my parents couldn't leave- My mom was on call at Miami Dermatology and my dad was in the middle of a case and Randy was fighting in Afghanistan at the time). Doug and I weren't the only people who were going to take care of Sammi, I was going to make sure the other detainees were looking out for her, too.
Sometimes the inmates bullied each other, but they did have sympathetic sides towards each other. They were good kids at heart, they just did all those horrible things like stealing, drugs, gangs and all that other shit because they didn't know how to deal with the hard stuff. So it wouldn't be fair to call them bad kids. I was at home, after today's trauma with Sammi, I needed something to take my mind off my worry for her and the profusely bleeding hand. I turned on the TV and looked for something to watch- 2 Broke Girls, Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, Family Guy (and it was one of the classic episodes, too. After the twelfth season, the show got bad. The jokes were more mean-spirited than funny, the characters were hateful and the show was just not funny anymore.
But it was the episode where Brian got arrested for drunk driving, which was one of the best ones. Because Brian had such a heart towards Pearl, the lady he had to help for his community service. I heard a knock at my window. I saw someone I didn't want to see- Brooke Carter. She was sitting on a folding chair on the fire escape, smoking marijuana and dressed in a hoodie, corset top that enhanced her cleavage, leather short shorts and high heels. She got an evil looking smile on her face.
"Hello, Austin,"
She grinned cunningly.
I asked her,
"Brooke, what do you want?"
She breathed in my face. Her breath reeked of marijuana. She let out an evil sounding cackle.
"What do you think I want? To have sex with you."
"I filed that restraining order against you for a reason, you crazy psychopath! Now get the fuck out of my apartment!"
She crawled in through the window. I said,
"Brooke, were you spying on me?"
She breathed again and smoke emanated from her mouth. I could smell the marijuana from her breath.
"Are you smoking weed?"
She smiled in a very eerie way.
"Yes, I am. What are you going to do, Mr. Tough Guy?"
"Call the cops. Like I said, I filed the restraining order against you for a reason."
Brooke said,
"I'm been outside of your neighborhood working as a prostitute."
She pulled a big wad of cash from her bag of weed.
"I'll give you five hundred dollars if you have sex with me."
"I'm not prostituting for you, Brooke."
I grabbed her arm, and thrust her outside. Ally saw me and she asked me,
"What are you doing, Austin?"
I said,
"I'm getting rid of this crazy psycho."
Brooke exhaled the stench of pot and glowered at Ally.
"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU STEALING MY BOYFRIEND, YOU FUCKING WITCH?!"
"He's not your boyfriend. I think you'd better go home, Brooke, you look and smell like you're high."
Brooke tried to break free from my grip. She shrieked,
"FUCKING LET ME GO, AUSTIN! SO I CAN BEAT THAT BITCH SENSELESS FOR SAYING I'M HIGH WHEN I'M SOBER!"
"Bullshit, Brooke. I saw you smoking marijuana on the fire escape of my apartment. You're not fooling anyone."
I was stronger than Brooke. I shoved her into the elevator aggressively and she did the middle finger at us. Ally asked me,
"Who was that girl?"
I said,
"Remember that crazy ex-girlfriend I had?"
"The one who worked as a prostitute and did drugs?"
"Yup. Well, I caught her sitting on the fire escape smoking weed, and she tried to prostitute with me, as well trying to bribe me with money to sleep with her."
"She's a lunatic."
I said,
"She epitomizes a lunatic. Not like you. You're amazing, clean and what I've been looking for my whole life."
I stroked Ally's hand and a big grin spread across her face.
"Epitomize. I gave my students a vocabulary test last week and that was one of the words."
Ooh, I wonder what's going to happen next :). Will Austin ask Ally to be his girlfriend? It's even killing me and I'm the person behind this story!
