“Mmmmm,” I groaned, stretching my arms out. I rubbed my eyes, pulled some of my hair out of my face, and looked at my alarmclock. It read 11:12 AM. I jumped up and screamed, “Oh my God! I Slept in!”
I ran over to my dresser, grabbed a pair of jeans, and threw on one of my baggy ‘PRESEASON’ T shirts. Taylor watched me curiously from the bed.
I ran down stairs and nearly collided with the TV. I turned it to channel four and sat back on the couch to watch. A few minutes later, he strolled into the room, wearing the jeans he came over in a few hours earlier, and a shirt he had left here at an earlier date.
He plopped down next to me, “Watcha watchin’?”
“Shut up! I’m watching Days!”
“Oh.”
“I said shut up!”
I shrugged and sat back to watch.
“Who’s that guy?”
“That’s Eric. He’s Sammi’s twin. He’s been, uh, somewhere else, and hasn’t been a character, for a long time. He’s played by Gensen Ackles, one of the world’s finest men.
“That’s one pretty ass man.”
“Oh, you mean her. That’s Nicole. I don’t know who plays her, but she’s also new to show. She made her debut as a waitress that Eric wanted about two monthes ago. Now she’s a model for Titan. Someone from her past named Jay keeps harrassing her. Eric caught her meeting him at a bar called the Speedball, and she said that he was her cousin, and wanted money for drug rehab.”
“Who in the hell is Titan?”
“It’s the company that Kate owns, and Austin, Lucas, Sammi, and Kerri work for. Franco models for them too.”
“Wait, I’ve herd about Austin, Kerri, Sammi, Franco, and Lucas, but who’s Kate?”
“She’s Austin, Lucas, and Billie’s mom.”
“Who’s Billy?”
“She’s this chick that wants Bo, and has done a bunch of crap to get him to love her and not Hope, but so far it hasn’t worked.”
“Wait a minute! Billy’s a girl?”
“Yeah. Yah know, Billie with an I-E.”
“Oh. Well who are Bo and Hope?”
“No, Stefano! Vivian didn’t drink all of it! She’ll wake up!” I cried watching ‘Days.’”
“She might not. Maybe Ralph will come up with something to do to keep her under. Either that, or it will fuck up the entire plot.” Caty said.
“Yeah. Hell knows what Celeste is going to do once she gets there.”
“Yeah. It could fuck up Stefano’s evil plans.”
“What’s he going to do to control her anyway?”
“I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with drilling a hole in her scull.”
“Cool!”
“Okay, can we go do something now?” I pleaded once the soap was over.
“Okay, but I want to be back by one to watch Sunset Beach.”
“Okay.”
We walked out the door and started to stroll down the street.
Out of nowhere, some guy jumped out of a dark alley, and grabbed Dana. He put a gun to her temple and instructed, “Gimme all your money, or I shoot your woman in the head!”
“Okay,” I said calmly, and reached into my pocket. I pulled out a few dollar bills, and some change. there was still about three coins in the bottom of my pocket, but this was probably enough.
I handed it to him, and he put it in his pocket. It looked like he was about to run away. But, instead, he ran over to me, and grabbed my arms. Now the gun ws to my temple.
“Okay, Little Missy. Hand it over, or your little girlfriend gets it.”
“Okay.” She reached in her pockets and retrieved about fifty cents.
I didn’t get why this guy was mugging two teenagers. It’s not as if we had any money or anything.
“I got the money Joe!”
Some guy walked out any grabbed Dana. “What are you doing? We already gave you all our money!”
“Come on,” he growled. And, with that, we were both dragged away, down the alley.
A moment later, we got to a large building.
Then I got it. In the worst way. They thought we were two girls, didn’t they? They had plans for us.
“Oh my God!” I screamed.
“What in the hell’s wrong with you, girl?” The guy holding me asked.
I just glared at him.
Then he forced me into a kneeling position in front of him. I knew what was going to happen. I had seen Boogie Nights.
He undid his jeans, and demanded, “Suck.”
I really had no choice. I had to obey him. So I did. I hate looking like a girl, I thought. No, wait, if I didn’t look like a girl, I would have gotten shot by now.
I guess I was lucky, Dana was on the other side of the room, getting raped by that Joe guy.
About fifteen minutes later, I was still sucking, and Dana had passed out long ago, but that Joe guy was still fucking her.
Then Joe was done with Dana. He stood, and got dressed. He left Dana lying on the floor, passed out and naked.
He watched his friend get a blow job for a while, then that guy was done with me. I stood after vomiting a few times.
I thought those guys would leave Dana and I soon, but they didn’t. Joe walked over to Dana and stood over her.
I closed my eyes in anticipation of him raping her agan. But then I heard a gunshot ring out. I looked up. Joe put his gum back in his pocket, and walked off calmly.
I ran over to Dana. There was a gunshot wound in her stomach. I kissed her lightly on the lips, and stood up. I ran out of the building, yelling, “I’ll get you help, Dana! I promise!”
“Yes, it’s right off 13th Street! Look, I’ll wait on the corner of Thirteenth and Fifth. You get an ambulance here, and I’ll lead them the rest of the way!”
“Okay, young man.”
“Thank you!”
I hung up the pay phone, and waited. Soon an ambulance pulled up, I told them to turn down the alley, then I ran to the door of the building, and waved my arms at them when they came into view.
The EMT’s ran into the building, and surrounded Dana. I sunk back into the shadows to wait for them to put her in the ambulance.
“She is? Okay I’ll tell her,” I agreed.
Taylor had just called me from the hospital to tell me that his bestfriend, and my exgirlfriend, was in the hospital from a shot wound.
Mom wasn’t home, but I was going to the hospital alone. I grabbed a peices of paper and a pencil, and wrote:
Mom,
Dana got shot. Tay’s at the hospital with her. I’m going there. Go
over there as soon as you get this note.
Love,
Isaac
I jogged out of the house, and got in my Dad’s Lumina. I took off as fast as I could without speeding.
