love you all and enjoy!
Jason
She brought Jessica in an hour after they arrested me. she was foaming at the mouth. She slapped me and the police pulled her away. "Jess?"
"bastard!" she cried, fighting to get at me. they pulled her away again. I stood there, shocked. Bastard? I...I thought...she was my sister! "I'm sorry, Jessie."
She screamed and they took her out of the place. The cops that were guarding me asked. "is she always like this?"
I shook my head. "no."
I didn't even want a hearing; I just wanted it to be done with. The policemen led me to the cells where I would be staying for the rest of my life. My cellmates frowned at me, but I was pretty buff, so they didn't want any trouble just yet. I sat down. The police officers locked the doors. "you're going to have a hearing no matter what. It will be in a week." He turned away and left without an answer, the other one following.
The whole cell seemed to relax in their absence.
I sighed. "fine."
Jessica
My hearing was in a week. That was all I could hear. It bounced around in my head. In a week in a week in a week... there were people looking at me wearing funny uniforms. They put in a sweater, but the arms are all wonky so I can't move. I think they called it a straight jacket, it's a funny name. it makes me laugh whenever they say it.
I'm laughing. The people always use that word in their sentences, they talk funny, and their voices are way too deep to be for girls. They're that other kind of human. What was it again? I don't remember.
I can't remember anything. All I remember is that Jason didn't kill Alexis and she and Kyle got me here. There is a mirror in this room. I can see myself. I'm smiling. That's nice, I'm happy.
I hear the door open and my attention goes to the door. It sounds funny when it opens. I giggle at the sound. Whoosh, whoosh. It says. "Whoosh..." I echo
A person comes in. I don't like her. She wears blue scrubs. I think she's a hospital lady. I don't like hospital ladies. She smiles at me though; maybe she's one of those nice kinds of hospital ladies. She touches my forehead and smiles. She touches my hands and smiles. She looks at a little screen monitor next to me and smiles. I think I'm making her very happy.
"Good." She says. "Good. Good. Good." She write it down on a clipboard and walks out. She has brown skin. I like her hair. It's black.
Good. I think to myself. Good. Good. Good.
Brian
I met them at the doors again the day after Jess got arrested. Who would've known she was a psychopathic time bomb?
Kyle meets me with Alex glued to his body.
"Hi Brian!"She smiled at me and hugs me, then goes back to her bodyguard slash boyfriend.
"Hey, lexis."
"How's it going man?" Kyle says.
"it's good, it's good."
He kisses her on the forehead and she holds his hand. The way they act around each other isn't exactly sickening all the time, but it's always totally obvious they were insane about each other. Not many people came up to us anymore. It was already old news. This was good. But they did come because it was me and Kyle. Kyle still hadn't been removed from the totally hot list. And he was constantly approached my chicks. only they were scared away by lexis' murderous glares.
"Hi Kyle."
"Hey Debbie, how's it going?"
"Fine. I was just wondering if you'd want to catch a movie sometime with me?" she was almost shaking with nervousness.
"Sure, we'll be there."Kyle looked entertained.
"We?" she looked so confused.
"Yeah, my girlfriend and I?" Alexis used that opportunity to smile at her with hateful eyes.
"oh...never mind then. See you around Kyle."
We cracked up even before she was out of earshot. Her ears turned beet red so I didn't have to see the look on her face.
"Bye Brian." Kyle said,
"See ya Brian." lexis called.
They left to go to English class. I waved and headed to study hall.
Kyle
We got to class and sat down. Our teacher Mrs. Capita called me up to the front. "Kyle I'd like you write a little speech and do it in front of the class."
I was a little surprised. "I'm sorry what?"
"A speech. Just four paragraphs or so. It's just that I have that in the grade book for everyone else; we did it before you came to this class. So just a small essay and then read it in front of the class. It could be about anything you want, but nothing inappropriate, please. I have had to give out many F's for inappropriate essays. No intimacy, racy comments, or anything against the school rules or codes of conduct."
I looked at Alexis; she was talking to a girl behind her. "could I do it on her?" I asked.
She nodded. "sure, but as I said before, nothing inappropriate." I sat back down and got right to work. I told Alexis what I was doing, but not what my essay was about. She gave me all kinds of ideas. I pretended to write them all down, while I was actually writing my speech. She smiled at how attentive I was being, when to be honest I only heard half of what she had said. I worked on, fitting each paragraph onto the paper. Writing in tiny print so I wouldn't need more paper.
I was finished by the time class ended. I was going to put them on index cards and read it out tomorrow. I wasn't good at this. Hell, I was terrible at romance period, but maybe something as simple as an essay could say it for me. Maybe if I just kept it small and quiet, it would be perfect. Not exactly like Brian's huge declaration with jewelry and a sunset to finish it off.
Something I could do, something simple. I knew exactly what would happen...
Alexis
My next two classes were boring. Lunch was fun though. We sat with Daniel, Cassandra and Brian. We played board and card games after we finished eating to pass the time by. Daniel won three times Brian won once, I won once so did Cassandra. Kyle never won until Daniel got up to go get more food. We played a quick game of Uno then he won.
I didn't want to go to the rest of school so the five of us ditched. Our school was so short of teachers that, during passing period right after lunch, there were so many seniors and juniors coming back from lunch off campus to see four cars driving away.
We headed to my house, we longed around in the living room. I brought out beanbags from the garage and pillows from the basement and I put them all over the floor. Daniel had bags of popcorn in the back of his car.
"I get hungry sometimes!" he said when we all looked at him. So we popped 8 of those and put in a movie. First we watched, When Harry Met Sally, because Kass and I loved that movie. Then we watched Surf Ninjas because Daniel never got to watch it as a kid. Afterwards we watched All About Steve because we did a random pick. Another random pick got us to watch Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix Then we watched 17 Again, because Brian was a basketball freak.
When the credits started on every movie, we would have a pillow fight. Between the five of us there were equal amounts of yells and screams. We barely spoke real words until the end of 17 Again, when it was dark outside.
"Oh my goodness, it's like 8 at night!" Kyle said, checking his phone.
Cassandra wasn't bothered. "I'm out until this time anyway," she got up and hugged me. "see you guys later."
"Damn!" Daniel got up too. "my curfew is at 11 but my mom usually likes me to be at home by nine. I'll see you tomorrow." He hi-fived us and left.
Kyle looked at Brian. He grinned. "don't sweat it man, I'm gonna leave too." He got up. "I just thought, hey this is a lot for two people to put away by themselves. I'll help clean up."
That's exactly what he did. I washed the popcorn bowls, he picked up the pillows Kyle took the bean bags and they both watched while I vacuumed the living room. After I was done. Kyle and Brian walked to the door, talking in low voices. I put the vacuum away and stood behind a wall, listening.
"I'll see you tomorrow man." Brian was saying.
"Cool. In front of the doors right?" Kyle said.
"Yeah. Hey, have you told her yet?"
I heard confusion in Kyle's voice. "told her what?"
"That you love her! why haven't you said it yet?"
"That's offensive, how do you know I haven't said it yet?"
I thought about it. he hadn't told me he loved me. surprisingly, it didn't bother me. I suppose I had assumed he did because of how he acted.
There was silence between them too. I imagined Brian giving Kyle a look.
I was right. Kyle said. "don't look at me like that. I haven't told her."
Brian asked. "well...DO you love her?"
Kyle sounded even more offended. "Of course I do! Damn Brian have you been drinking?"
"No more than usual, but don't change the subject. You should tell her."
"I will. Soon."
I could hear Brian mock-punch Kyle on what I assumed was his shoulder. "alright man, I'll talk to you later."
"Ow. sure, sure. See ya Bri."
I hurried down the hall before Kyle closed the door and was in my room by the time I heard his footsteps across the wooden floor of the kitchen. He came into my room and I was pretending to read. He took my book out of my hands. "hey! I was reading that!"
"Oh yeah?" he laughed as I tried to get it out of his hands. He read a sentence out of it. "'...and Blake swept her off her feet into his arms and twirled her around, making her laugh.'" He looked at me.
I took a step back. "no...no...don't even try-"
He didn't let me finish, he picked me up and swung me around like I was a five year old. "Ah! Stop! stop oh my gosh stop it!"
He stopped but he didn't put me down. "you're not laughing."
"I'm not the girl in the book." I countered.
He grinned. "laugh." He swung me around again, faster. I got super dizzy and somehow I just started giggling hysterically. He grinned and set me down. I was so dizzy, I stumbled and fell. Just to have him catch me and pick me up again.
"Maybe you should sit down."
"The world...is...moving..." I murmured. Kyle laid me on my bed. I sat up and looked at him. He looked worried.
"That...was...awesome!" I grinned at him. "let's do it again."
He shook his head. "you're just a case."
I beamed angelically at him. but he did pick me up and twirl me around, less fast though. Then he set me down. "no more."
Kyle walked out then and I sat on my bed watching after him. Once he closed my door I lay down and sighed. It didn't bother me that Kyle hadn't told me he'd loved me, because somehow I already knew he did.
But of course, it'd be nice to hear anyway...
