Teenage Love

Chapter 8

Date Written: Tuesday, October 26, 2021

As Mikey and I were drying off and waiting for our parents I leaned my head onto his shoulder. He then leaned his head onto mine. We sat in silence for a bit before Mikey decided to speak.

"What do you think is gonna happen to all the rich stuff?" He asked me.

"I don't know, the ship might stay there or the Coast Guard might take it. I don't know what they would do with the jewels." I tell him.

"I wish we could have kept ahold of some of the rich stuff. At least enough to pay for the Goon Docks to be saved." He sighs.

I just nod. I can't think of anything that might make him feel better. I feel like I'm forgetting something important. Something life changing important. Oh well.

"Do you think, if the Coast Guard did take the boat they would use if to save the Goon Docks?" Mikey asked me.

"Honestly, I don't know. I'm they wouldn't. Why would they bother saving the Goon Docks when they can put in a golf course that would attract tourists and money. Besides they don't care about the Goon Docks like we do. They will probably put some of it in a museum and give the rest of it to like the government or something." I tell him. I nuzzle my head deeper into his shoulder. I can feel him sigh in defeat.

I take his hand in mine and we stay like that until our parents get here.

About twenty minutes later all of our parents arrive.

"Where are my boys?" I can hear Mrs. Walsh ask.

I turn my head a little bit to see Mr. and Mrs. Walsh running over to us. I lift my head up so Mikey can go to his parents.

"Brandon! Mikey!" Mr. and Mrs. Walsh yell and embrace them in hugs.

"Hi Mom. Hi Dad. I guess we're in kinda deep shit." Mikey says.

Mrs. Walsh ignore the curse and pulls him into a hug. "Oh, Michael. Look at you, you're a mess."

I look around to see if my parents are here. Nope. All I see are all the other Goonies with their parents. I sit on the rock on my own. I pull my knees up to my chest and rest my chin on my knees. My arms are wrapped around my legs. I can hear everyone greeting and talking to their parents. Chunk has a pizza, Data is talking to his dad about a camera, Andi is asking for piano lessons, Stef is saying she lost her glasses before Mouth goes up to her. I tune that conversation out. I tune back in when I see Andi coming over to where we (Me and Mikey and his family) are.

"Hey Mikey. Hey, you know, you're a great little kid, ah, person. And you know, you keep kissing girls the way you do, and the parts of you that don't work so well they're gonna catch up to the ones that do." Andi tells him before kissing him on the cheek and going over to Brand.

Mikey comes back to me.

"I'm still sorry about kissing her and not telling you right away." Mikey says.

"Mikey, I forgave you. For the most part anyway. You told me and that's what matters the most to me. I could have found out later and you could have lied to me, but you didn't. Come here." I say pulling him in by the wrists. I pull him into a kiss. We kiss for a few seconds before we pull away. He goes to take a puff of his aspirator but he thinks for a second and tosses it before pulling me into another kiss. We pulled away when we heard a commotion.

"It's the Fratelli's." I heard an officer say.

I see Chunk run over and stand in front of Sloth, trying to shield him from the police. "No, don't shoot him." He puts his pizza box in the way.
