Chapter 6
Erin pouted, instead of being able to hang out with beautiful, amazing, blonde girl, she was dragged on by her ‘sister’ and her cousin. Since they were still young stupid teenagers that couldn’t drive yet, Dawn had offered to drive them to the lovely place called, ‘Le Mall’. Of course, Dawn joked around about taking them to a gay bar and giving Joe extensions cause he had a pretty feminine face after one beautiful sleepover that had occurred back in Erin’s childhood with the three musketeers, but Mia just smacked such silly ideas out of Dawn’s head.
“Ohh, babe, I didn’t know you were such a sadist,” Dawn grinned, winking at her true love. Mia blushed and rolled her eyes at Erin who was snickering in the back seat along with Joe and Eileen. “Shut up shrimp, and Dawn, if I’m a sadist, you’re a masochist…” Mia muttered.
“Hey, I resent that!” Dawn and Erin shouted in union, earning giggles from the rest of the passengers. “Jeez, and I’m NOT a shrimp. I don’t see me here with those creepy black eyes and those weird things and those…those ARMS. And I’m not orange. Although it’d be really cool, but then again, I’d rather be green. Ugh, I might look like green shit or green vomit. Eww, nevermind. So anyways, I’m thirsty, OMG MALL MALL MALL!!” Erin shouted in one breath, breathing heavily after her outburst.
Joe grinned and cracked up, and Eileen shook her head, muttering, “I swear your on crack sometimes Erin.” Erin smiled sweetly at her, and winked, “Yah love me for it though,” she said in a sing-song voice. Eileen rolled her eyes, and nudged Erin with her shoulder pushing her to hit Joe since the short girl was in between the two.
However, Eileen pushed Erin a bit hard, so Erin’s elbow accidentally hit Joe, who yelped and glared at Eileen. “Oh, its wartime baby!” Joe said, and pushed Eileen back. Erin yelped as she was in between the two raging forces, being pushed back and forth. “AAAH!!” she screamed dramatically, and started to curl up on her seat. Mia looked back and did her best not to laugh at the traumatized girl as she sat their in a fetal position being pushed back and forth by the tall girl and the handsome boy.
“Heeey, I want to look!” Dawn said, but Mia pushed her face back, restricting her view only on to the road. “I’m letting you drive, 4 teenagers are at stake, and your one true love’s life is at stake.” Dawn pouted at Mia, who was trying her best to not let her lips pull upwards at the corners into a happy smirk.
“Hey, wait, I’m not a teenager!” Dawn yelled, and licked Mia’s hand that was still there and bit her thumb lightly since it trailed down a bit. Mia yelped and pulled her hand back, “Gee! Kinky much?!” Mia joked, getting a laugh from her life partner. Dawn rolled her eyes, and smirked, “You like it in bed hun,” and the car went silent at the extremely sexual joke that was said.
Erin grinned, and wiggled her eyebrows, and scooted forward. “As a young lesbian, may I get more knowledge in what studies and terms you are speaking about?” Mia rolled her eyes, laughing, and Dawn grinned and said, “Hell yeah!”
Joe pouted, and scooted forward, and wiggled his eyes, “As a healthy young man, may I get more knowledge in what studies and terms you are speaking about?” he asked hopefully. Mia shook her head, and opened her water bottle and poured water on Joe’s head.
“Double-You-Tee-Eff Dude! Like, I just bought this shirt, like, oh, my, gosh!” Joe said with a girly teenager voice, and grinned when everyone burst out into laughter.
After the laughing died down, Erin smirked and said, “Oh Joe, I always knew we were on the same boat. I heard that Pierre from the Catholic Boy’s School had a crush on you, especially after…” Erin trailed off, unable to speak coherently since Joe covered her mouth with a bright red face.
“THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!” he shrieked, his voice uncontrollably cracking because of puberty. Erin bit Joe’s hand, hard, causing him to retaliate, and she and Dawn howled in laughter. “Erin, go on about this story, I’m interested!” Dawn said with a grin. Erin smiled, and opened her mouth before Eileen shut it close. Erin’s eyes sparkled mischievously, remembering Eileen’s own part in the… ‘threesome’…
“Not a word young lady.” Eileen said coldly, her eyes burning holes into the laughing Erin.
The ride was filled with chatter among the five, and despite the age, they all seemed pretty close although Erin was the one who really knew everyone. Erin was the one who mainly kept everyone, well, there and in tact. It was like Erin was the superglue to any puzzle piece or something.
Eileen and Joe helped Erin out of the car as she balanced on her good leg, and Dawn opened up her trunk and handed Erin her crutches. Erin smiled and she took the shortened crutches, and put her weight on it.
“Bye you guys, be safe, Erin, I swear if you end up in the hospital, I will make you have nightmares by cleaning my car!” Dawn threatened, as she and Mia entered Mia’s car. Mia rolled her eyes, and sighed with a smile, “Jeez, you’re a pig Dawn,” and Dawn grinned, “Yeah, and yah love me still. Let’s go and have hot monkey sex in your car somewhere!”
Erin laughed, and watched as Mia slapped Dawn’s perverted fingers that were dancing on Mia’s shoulders. The three waved their goodbyes to the couple, before walking to the mall, at a slow pace so even the energetic Erin wouldn’t get tired.
“Hey, Erin, how come they haven’t got married yet?” Eileen questioned. Erin looked at her, and looked up, in deep thought for a long time. Joe and Eileen waited as people glared at them for suddenly stopping in their tracks. “Well, Erin?” Joe said, wanting to get the answer quickly.
“Well…I don’t really know much about them, but I’ve known them for a long time, but I know for a fact that Dawn is afraid of marriage…I guess I’m kinda of scared for them, since Mia wants to be ‘her girl’ officially, like, official official. Yah know?” Erin said, and changed the subject from talking about ‘getting the girl’, which had brought up thoughts of Faye. Eileen and Joe shrugged, and they rushed to follow Erin, who was heading off to the Food Court. “Oh yeah, Josh is bringing his cousin, Danny, so I’m just wondering if it’s okay,” Eileen said after checking a text message that announced the message from Josh.
Erin and Joe nodded, Josh was a cool guy, and he hung out with them a lot, since he and Joe were both in the soccer team.
Erin grinned, and exclaimed, “Well, I’m going to get a big burger. I’m seriously hungry, ahaha…” Erin hobbled on her crutches to head in line, with Joe and Eileen short behind the short girl.
In line, they waited their turn, and as soon as they got to the front, Eileen squealed in surprise, causing her two friends to turn towards her. Behind her was a spiky black haired guy, as tall as Eileen wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her cheek. “Rawr, I’m a dinosaur, will you feed me?” Josh said, and moved back to laugh a bit. Eileen blushed and said, “You and Erin are so much alike, I don’t understand why you don’t hang out with us a lot…”
Josh scratched his head, “Well, you know I have soccer practice and I tutor Een,” he said using his special nickname for her. Eileen just nodded and kissed his cheek, and smiled at him. He turned to Erin and Joe and grinned. “WASSUP HOMIES!” he said, and Joe laughed. “OH, my lover, how long have we been separated!” Joe said dramatically and jumped on Josh.
“It’s been far too long Joey-boy!” Josh laughed. Then he suddenly stopped and grinned evily, and shoved Joe off, jokingly muttering ‘bitch’ under his breath but loud enough for the group to hear. Turning to Erin, her ruffled her hair and gave her a lopsided grin. “Erinnnn, wassup? How’s my favorite little lesbo?” He said grinning.
Erin glared at Eileen, who looked back at her with apologetic eyes, making Erin soften her look. It didn’t really matter, she would’ve told Josh sooner.
“Bleh, shush boy,” Erin said, patting his head softly. Josh grinned, and turned to the side. “Anyways home skillets, this is my cousin buddy dude, Dann-aay,” Josh said, pointing at a blonde spiky-haired guy who had just came out of a store.
“Sup,” he said, rasing his head a bit. Erin smiled, and giggled. Oh, he’s cool, she thought sarcastically.
Pouting, his blonde hair reminded her of another head of blonde hair…
-
Erin sighed. The goddamn school let Faye go back, but wouldn’t let her, so she had to stay home. But of course, she was still going to school.
There was no way she would stay home.
She sat on her bed, furiously glaring at her leg. “I hate you, you know.”
The leg evil laughed, detached itself, and jumped up. “I know that, and nothing you can do can stop me! MWHAHA!” Erin screamed as her leg popped off and started doing back flips.
“OH GOD, STOP THE HORROR!” the young one screamed, covering her eyes. “I’M TOO YOUNG FOR BOTEXXX!”
Her leg gave her a wicked smile, and it flipped around, and suddenly had a face drawn in with a sharpie on it. “MWHAHA! I AM THE EVIL LEG!”
Erin rolled around, and the leg jumped on her, and grew hair.
“CHEWBACCA! OMFG!” The small girl screamed, her eyes popping out of her head.
Suddenly, a tongue came out and licked her cheek. “Eh. Chewbacca licky me? Ooh.” She mumbled, and opened her eyes.
A small welsh corgi sat on her bed, looking at her. “Chewbacca?” Erin mumbled, and got up. Her room, no evil leg.
Good, good, no need to shave…
“Erin, finally!” a voice said. Erin turned her head to see Joe spinning on her computer chair, his hair spiked up for once.
“Joey-boy, hello!” she chirped. Picking up the small brown and white midget puppy, she bit his ear. The puppy yelped, jumped out of her grasp, bit her arm, jumped down, and started running in circles.
“Hello Stapler. Aren’t we stupid today, hmm?” Erin said, and got up from her bed. Joe stood up, and helped support her stand up. Joe rolled his eyes, and threw clothes at Erin. “Come on, you said you wanted to talk to Ms. Stewart for the photography club or something.”
Erin grinned, and nodded. “Yep!”
“What made you change your mind?” Joe said, while getting up cause Stapler ran into the wall, and picking him up. Stapler jumped back up and bit him, before running around again.
“Eh…just felt like it,” Erin said. Well, hey, Faye is in the Art Club, so I get to see her a bit more cause the classes are next to each other, and the break times are the same, and the ending times are the same…ehm…obsessive much? Darn me, Erin thought. Joe knew that she didn’t like staying at school after school, which was another reason why she didn’t join the photography club, but knew there was another reason. Still, he knew Erin liked her privacy so he dropped the subject.
Erin was about to start changing when Joe was still facing her way, and sighed. She picked up a random clothing, which happened to be her bra, and threw It at Joe’s head.
“EWW! COOTIES!! INCESTOUS COOTIES!!” Joe screamed, and threw it off himself and started to wipe the cooties off. “GOD, I swear Erin, you are such a guy!”
Erin mimicked him in a girl voice and grinned, “GOD, I swear Joe, you are such a faggy-waggy-little girl!”
The boy sniffed and turned around to mope. “I might as well accept that fact. Acceptance is the first step to realizing your denial.”
Erin snickered, “Other way around dumbo,” and the two cousin’s laughed.
The short girl grabbed a crutch, leaning on it to support herself while she hopped to her closet, and threw it open. The weather was hot today, for some reason, probably cause of freaking global warming, so she pulled on a tank top and a thin olive pull over and pulled on dark blue jeans and a belt. She found a pair of green and black shoes and pulled one on.
Dang foot, she couldn’t wear a good pair. “Let’s gooooooo!” Joe whined, and Erin whacked her crutch at him, which would have seriously hurt if she was too short and couldn’t bring it to hit him.
Joe giggled like a girl, and picked up Stapler before jumping out the window. “Go do your bathroom stuff, I’ll wait outside! AND GET ME A POPTART!” Joe said, while running after Stapler who bit Joe and ran in circles again.
The short brunette went in to her bathroom, and combed her hair to rid herself of knots, and left her hair down. She quickly brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth, and went to grab her bag before heading towards the front door. She turned to the living room, seeing her mom sprawled out on the couch.
She stood there, staring at her mother who reeked of alcohol, and frowned. She tried…
Going to the kitchen, she grabbed a pack of poptarts and got some advil and a cup of water. She placed the medicine and water on the table next to her mom, and grabbed a blanket that was tangled with her feet.
She pulled it over her mom, and simply sighed. I should try to...but…
She didn’t know if she was ready yet.
