1986

I was in the kitchen having some coffee with the radio on listening to our local station. Just enjoying the morning when it was cut short.

"Sorry to interrupt but breaking news the body of Chrissy Cunningham has been discovered in the trailer of Eddie Munson also known as the cult leader of hell fire" I stop listening and ran to my car and quickly drove to the trailer homes.

The drives could not have been any longer than 15 minutes but they sure felt like hours when i got there it was surrounded by police cars and people talking. I got off my car and ran to see the mess.

"Excuse me what's going on?" I ask a random lady.

"That freak Munson killed poor Chrissy, poor girl had a bright future" I didn't bother hearing the rest and got in my car and took off to Steve's job. Like before the drive felt endless and when I finally made it I jump off and ran inside to see my brother and Red there. When Steve saw me he walk my way grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to the back.

"Did you hear?" I nodded.

"What the hell was he thinking bringing someone so damn popular, to begin with," I shouted whispers. "And to his trailer nonetheless, if he was going to fuck her he knows better places to do that" I added.

"You sound jealous" he joked making me freeze.

"Very funny, I'm worried about that idiot, where the hell can he be because the trailers are surrounded by police cars and nosy people, his van is still there so he left by foot," I told him.

"I don't know what to say," he told me. We went back to the others I could feel robin staring at me.

"Dustin, what the hell are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Um came to talk with suzzy" he laugh, so he doesn't know about the whole mess then.

"You haven't heard have you?" I ask him. He gave me a confused look. I explained to him what was going on and what I had heard so far about the whole mess. I could see Red looking uncomfortable as hell when I mention Chrissy and that she was dead.

"But he wouldn't dare, he doesn't have it in him," He told me.

"Well, people don't want to see that he is not evil and just likes rock music and he likes to play a kid's game," I told him. I turned around and made eye contact with Robin.

"What!" I mouth, her eyes when wide and pointed towards the back room. I nodded and followed her back.

"Maricela I know what I did was stupid and dumb and childish of me, to lead you on even though I didn't have feelings for you, but I really did try to like you back, the kiss when I went for it it just felt wrong I tried to like you back I really did but I couldn't" She ramble.

"... After the said kiss, you could have told me you didn't feel the same instead of leading me on Buckley, but no you did the opposite you mess with my feelings you made me believe there could be an us when clearly it was never going to happen... Did you see how fuck you got me Buckley did you see the state I was in for more than 6 months because you couldn't get the balls to tell me a simple phrase... HUH?... No, because all you thought about was let's use Maricela to get Vickie to notice me even though I'm pretty sure that girl is as straight as they come.... You could have told me! You could have told me you only saw me as a friend and I wouldn't have been mad" I said monotone no emotion in my voice. I knew she wanted me to scream at her to shout but no.
