Chapter Two: Friends
As soon as he got out he was met with the questioning look of T.J’s. “Is everything fine with the pigs?” (By Pigs you know i mean Police officers right, By the way i mean no disrespect to them.)
John laughed. “Yeah the pigs were taken care of. So now start up your fuckin car and take me to work.”
“Hop in mate. But next time don’t be so mean to me.” T whined as he drove off to (...now no one gave me an idea::cries:: so i hope this is okay) P’s Convient Store. “Why the hell do I even drive you to work. It isn’t that far away.”
John smiled towards his best friend. “There are two reasons for that T. One, you have to because not only am I your leader but you also have to respect me. Two ....I don’t feel like walking in the mornings.” He heard his friend mutter about lazy ass leaders. And stuff he didn’t quite catch. “What was that?” John asked his smile gone from his lips.
T looked toward his friend trying not to laugh. “Nothing o holy leader.” Then looked back to the road as they approach the store. “Just stuff....about how a very respectable Reck leader works at a grocery store.”
“Argh! Fuck you!” John said as his gave his friend the finger.
TJ laughed hard as he park the car. “Sorry man. But it’s true you know.”
“Yeah well....we can’t survive off the streets.” John’s voice held a serious tone. “Billy needs more then that.”
T patted his back. “I wonder about you man. You have to much you want to do. A guardian and a leader. We repect you for THAT....and of course the trust you offer us, and togther, we can survive this ficking hell whole.
A man came out of the store and they recognized him as P’s son. By the look of his face he didn’t look happy. “You are 30 minutes late Johnathan, that should come off your paycheck.”
Both of the Recks knew that wasn’t aloowed, and if it was it would be done if P said it not the man’s punk son. John quickly got out of the car followed by TJ. TJ had him agaisnt the wall in a matter of seconds, a knife placed at Chris’s throat.
John with a smirk approached the trapped teen. “Listen Shitface, you can’t do crap and you won’t say anything. Got it?”
The kinfe was pressed closer to his throat. “I got it.” Both of the Recks turned to go inside the store but Chris wasn’t done talking. “The only reason that Pop keeps you around is because he’s scared to fire you.”
John smirked without turning, “And I thought it was because no one bothers him because of my presence. Me being the one who brings him good income.” The two teens continued there way inside, leaving an annoyed Chris outside.
-----------------------
Billy was finished cleaning thier home and it was only 1 o’clock in the afternoon. {Sey and Lu should be here in an hour. Might as well take a shower and get ready.} He grabbed his clothing and a towel and went to shower.
He didn’t notice two figures lurking outside his window. “Hey is he gone....hello! is he gone-”
“Sey, shut up and keep your dick in your pants.” Lu knew what was coming but she did nothing.
“.....” Sey lifted her hand turning it into a fist and brought it down on her friends head. “I do not have a dick!” She yelled at Lu as she laid on the ground rubbing her head.
“Owie! Owie!, Why do you hit so hard?”
“Shut up and open the damn door”
Still annoyed at Sey, Lu went to the door followd by her friend. {I expected her to hit me but not hard .} “Next time don’t hit me so hard.”
She said as she grabbed a key from her pocket and opened the door.”
Sey felt bad she hit Lu hard but she wasn’t about to admit it. “O I forgot you are fragile.” She said as she pushed Lu into the kitchen. “However no time to dwell on that now, time to eat,” she said as she left to give the frige a personal clean herself.
{Ha! I made her fell guilty.} Sey doesn’t brag when she knows she did something bad. {Normally she would yap on, on how she had deserved it.}
“Hey Lu! Why you just standing around for? Go turn on some music!” Sey screamed while she still kept on raiding the frige.
“Uh whatever.” Lu went to the living room and turned on the stereo. {He should have good music already in it} Track three started to play.
He calls the mansion not a house but a tomb.
He's always choking from the stench and the fume.
The wedding party all collapsed in the room.
So send my resignation to the bride and the groom.
Let’s go down!
This elevator only goes up to ten.
He's not around.
He's always looking at me-
{OOOOoooooo I love them} Lu thought {but I like track five better}
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go
It's better off this way
For all the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot
From jumping out the second floor
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
She smiled as she heard Sey say I’m not okay, singing along with the lead singer Gerard.
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again
You sing the words but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time
Take a good hard look
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took
You said you'd read me like a book
But the pages are all torn and frayed
She laughed as she heard many things falling in the kitchen. {Billy is so gonna freak out. He must be hearing this from the bathroom. hehe} She laughed as she went into the kitchen leaving the tracks to play in order. She sang along with Sey as she entered the kitchen.
I'm okay
I'm okay
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this, I'm okay
(Trust me)
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay
I'm not o-fucking-kay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
(Okay)
Billy was showering when he heard his music start to play. {What? I thought I turned it off before I came upstairs} He got his answer as he heard things sound like stuff was falling everywhere in ......{the KITCHEN! O man.} He thought as he tried to hurry his shower along. { I just cleaned the kitchen up. Please let Lu control her please dear Lord.} He turned off his the water as he dired himself putting on his clothes with speed that should be recorded as a record. He headed down the stairs to find Sey trying to get out of Lu’s grip.
“Lu if you don’t let me go I WILL have to KILL YOU!” Sey screamed trying to get out of her friends grip.
“Sey this is the boss home. You can’t keep messin it up. Anyway, you can tell Billy just cleaned it.” Lu said having a hard time keeping Sey from dropping anything.
“John dosen’t mind,” Sey said trying to reason with Lu. “He’s a slob anyway.”
They both stop as they heard a laugh come from the kitchen doorway. They saw Billy smiling at them. “Your right he is a slob.”
Lu let go of Sey as she went to hug Billy. “Hey lil’ Billy. Are you ready to go?”
“Yeah but first,” he looked around the kitchen to find the frige open and a couple of things scattered around the floor. “Let me clean up.” He didn’t start right away as he recieved a strong hug from his blond friend. As he finished cleaning up the kitchen yet again he went to go grab his coat. “Lets go.”
The girls and Billy headed to the corner where Sey parent’s had thier own business. A record store at Billy’s corner. Of course Sey’s parent owned the store but they had Sey run it for them.
Sey pulled out her keys unlocking ‘her’ store. “Okay...Billy and Lu storage and....clean up the place.”
She reacived a glare from Lu but Billy didn’t mind as he went into the back to bring the new release to the shelves. “And what praytell would you be doing Sey.”
“I will be handleing the customers.”
Lu rolled her eyes as she turned to help Billy with the boxes. “Whatever.”
