Thanks To You
Pedophile.
It had been a long morning.
Every time time I looked at May, there would be tears coming from her eyes, and when she noticed I was staring at her, she would always force a smile. Also, I kept staring at my phone the whole morning.
“Lost in thoughts, dear?” Rose asked, I realized I was just awkwardly staring at my lunch.
“Sorry Rose, I’m just not hungry.” I said, leaving the table and stroking her hair on my way to the bedroom.
My bedroom looked a little bit different now, it now had some posters on the walls and the computer table was now a huge mess. I walked slowly to the bathroom and took a fast shower, fixing my hair and dressing up with black skinny jeans, a random t-shirt and a Blink-182 sweater.
“Rose, I’m going to May’s house, I’ll be right back ok?” I shouted, while walking downstairs.
“Of course dear, are you sure you don’t want to eat anything?” She said, coming out of the kitchen.
“No, I’m fine, thanks. See you later.” I said, leaving the house and closing the door.
When I arrived at May’s house I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid of getting inside, nobody was expecting me, so I decided to call.
“Hello.” Jack said with a sleepy voice.
“It’s me you asshole, I’m in front of your house, what am I supposed to do now?” I said chuckling a little bit.
“Oh… uh… just sit tight, I’m on my way.” He said, confused, turning off the phone.
I just sat there, under a tree, for ten minutes, until he calmly came out of the house and slowly walked towards me with his head down.
“We better go, Bassam is pissed.” He said, taking my hand so I could get up.
“Who is this guy?” I asked.
“My father.” He sighed.
“Hum… what did you tell him?” I asked.
“That I was going out with May’s friend, that his name was Alexander and he was waiting for me outside of the house.” He smiled.
“Oh… well, I guess I should go home now… I don’t owe you any other favor, do I?” I chuckled, forcing an annoyed look.
“The favor was you going out with me…”
“There is a man staring at us through the hall window…” I interrupted.
“Let’s get out of here.” Jack said, pulling my hand and giving a worried look to the man in the window.
After some minutes of walking in complete silence, it felt like he was waiting for me to say something while I was waiting for him to say something, so I was the one who decided to talk.
"So..." I said, clearing my throat. "Where are you taking me?"
"Don't say "where are you taking me", it sounds weird." He laughed. "It feels like I just kidnapped you and I'm going to rape you or something." He laughed more, now staring at me.
"Ok... Where are we going?" I smiled. "Sounds better now?"
"A lot better." He smiled back, and we kept smiling awkwardly at each other for a couple of seconds, until he looked away. "We are... uh... I'm going to meet some friends, that are also the guys from the band, I don't know what we're gonna do exactly, maybe write some stuff, or just rehearse."
"What do you do on the band?" I said.
"Well... I play guitar... and sing sometimes." He laughed at himself.
"Oh you sing? Sing for me." I said, trying my best to sound like a child.
"NO WAY." He laughed, and I laughed too, he sounded nervous. "We're here."
It was a white house, a normal house, like mine, the only different thing was the garage. It was huge, almost the size of the house, almost.
Jack knocked on a small door and two seconds later, this huge guy jumped on Jack's neck almost making them both fall on the ground.
"MAAN, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN." The big guy shouted, as they punched eachother. "RIAN, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHO'S OUT HERE".
And calmly this other guy got out of the garage, and they all hugged eachother.
"Stop Rian, this is so gay." Jack laughed, when then the big guy I didn't know the name noticed me.
"Who's that guy Jack?" He whispered, but I listened to it.
"Oh... that's Alex. He is my little sister's friend and he helped me escaping from Bassam today." He said, winking at me. "Alex, come here." I slowly moved closer with a weird smile. "This is Rian, he plays drums, and this idiot here is Zack, he plays bass and tries to sing sometimes." Jack laughed, earning another punch from that Zack guy.
"Hey man, you should stay away from Jack, he's a creepy pedophile." Zack said, chuckling and touching my shoulder.
"Don't worry 'bout me, I can deal with him." I said, causing them all to laugh.
"At least this time, the guy has good music taste." Rian whispered to Zack while we walked towards the garage, earning a slap on the head by Jack.
Jack looked back at me and mouthed.
"Ignore them."
I chuckled and slowly sat there at one corner of the garage, hearing them play for a couple of hours, they were awesome, Jack's voice was funny and Rian was a really good drumer, I also liked Zack's voice.
Jack left the room, said he was going to the bathroom, and I was left alone with the two guys until I got a message on my phone.
- come out here
I forgot to ask how he had my number.
