Mr. Bad Boy

Part 11

It's been four days since I've seen Peter. I was at the cemetery. I expected Petey to be here. I walked over to Jackie's grave, and there he was. He placed a flower down, and got back up. He looked sadder than usual this time.

"Petey, what's wrong?" I said, running after him.

"Nothing." he said to me.

"Come on, you can tell me." I said to him, giving him a small smile.

"It's.. it's just today's Jackie's death anniversary." He said, frowning. Oh god, how do I take care of this? I'm not good with sad people. Wait. You don't leave a sad person sad. You make them happy.

"Get in the car." I said to him. I'm such an idiot. Of couse he was going to get in the car. It was his car. Petey did as I said, and I told him where to drive.

"Beau?" Petey said, during our silent car ride. The only noise being made was the radio.

"Yes?" I asked him.

"How come... you're not scared of me?" Petey asked. It really got me thinking. How come I wasn't scared of him? Everyone else was, so why wasn't I? Maybe you see something in him. Like what? Maybe you like him. Shut up, I hardly know the guy. And the only reason I talk to him is because I have a project on him.

"Earth to Beau." Petey said.

"I'm sorry." I quickly blurted out.

"So... the answer to my question?" Petey said.

"Um... I don't know. I don't see you as a tough, scary guy. I see you as a nice, caring guy." I told him. I wasn't lying. I looked over at Petey who couldn't help but smile.

"We're going to bowl?" Petey said, when he got to the parking lot.

"Yup." I said getting out of his car.

"Why?" he questioned.

"Because bowling is fun... duuh." I said, like I was stating the obvious.

"You know, you don't have to do this." Petey said. I looked over at him.

"Yes, I do." I said. I pulled his arm into the building.

"Two please." I said to the guy at the counter. His eyes seemed to pop wide open.

"What's wrong?" Petey asked him. It looked like he was getting angry.

"It's just... just that... a girl like her... can get a guy... like... you?"

And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen. Another way to get Petey mad.

"What are you trying say?" Petey yelled back at him, and took a step forward.

"I'm sorry!" The guy yelled, and hid behind the counter. Petey started to laugh. I joined in. It was pretty funny.

Petey decided to bowl first. He got a spike. Oh dear. I wonder why I brought him bowling. I suck at bowling. Maybe you wanted him to laugh. Yeah I guess. I picked up the bowling ball, and threw it. What did I get? A gutter ball. When I turned  around, I saw Petey basically dying of laughter. He wasn't alone. Andre was there too. They both were dying.  

"Hey, it's my first time." I said to defend myself. I don't know when Andre got here, but he certainly welcomed himself.

"We could have made lip gloss or something." Petey said, while laughing. I just rolled by eyes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now where?" Petey said after we finished our bowling game. Andre left half way through.

"Let's make lip gloss." I said, trying to be serious as possible.

"Sounds fun. But I have a better idea." Petey said to me, with a smile. I was going to ask him where we were going, but then Red Hands by Walk Off the Earth came on. I don't know why, but I love this song.

"Oh yeah. Oh yeah-ah. That gun is loaded." I started to sing in my horrible voice.

"I know that I messed a few times or what you want to call it. I know if I fell down, you'd change the way I saw it." Petey began to sing. Petey had such a beautiful voice.

"Shut the front door!" I shouted at him.

"Okay um, which one?" he questioned me. Was he really doing this?

"You've got such a beautiful voice. Why don't you always sing?" I asked him. Stupid question, I know.

"I don't know. I kind of stopped doing the things I enjoy." Petey said, turning his smile into a frown. I wanted to ask him why, but it was going to hurt him.

"Chocolate factory?" I shouted out loud. Petey chuckled.

"Yeah. I kind of love chocolate." Petey said getting out of the car. Petey was really making this a day to remember. Instead of crying at home, I got him out in public having fun. Mission accomplished.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I got home, I went straight to my room with my box of chocolates. I stuck my head out the window so I could thank Petey, when I saw Andre is his room.

"You are too upset these days." Andre said to Petey.

"Calm down bro. Things will change." Petey said to him, while playing with his phone. 

"You know what?" Andre said to him.

"What?" Petey said as if he didn't care.

"You need to fall in love."

"What!" Petey shouted.

"Yeah. That's what you got to do." Andre said, nodding his head, while pacing back and forth.

"There is no way that is happening."

"Fine. We'll just have to go back to the old days."

"Huh?"

"You have to make a girl fall in love with you."

Petey remained silent.

"Like?" Petey asked after his moment of silence.

Why am I even listening to this?

"Your neighbor." Andre said.

What? Me? Woah! Why me?

"I-- I don't know." Petey said.

Few.

"Come on." Andre said to Petey.

"We'll see." Petey said. Then went back to playing his game.

Does that mean that I'm going to be part of their little game? No. Petey said he'll think about. He would not do that. But what if--

"Sweety." My mom said outside of my door. I quickly sat on my bed, then welcomed her in. "Um, lets talk." She said. I welcomed her onto my bed. "Remember a couple of months ago when Ms.Parker went to that place." That place? I don't know what she's talking about, but I'm just going to nod and act like I do. "Well, she's going again. And this, your father and I are going too." That's not bad. I'll just stay home alone. "You're going to be staying at one of my friends house." Did she just read my mind?

"Why mom? I'm responsible enough to stay here on my own." I told her, getting up from my bed.

"I know you are sweety. It's your dad that doesn't want you home alone. You know how he is, right?Protective. Start packing." She said, then left my room. That meant I was going today. Arrgh.
