In Love With Mr. Doggy (Skillet Fanfic)

Chapter 26: Food Fight

Rica's POV
*1 New Message*

I opened my cellphone and received a message from John.

To: Rica
Fr: John
Hi! Do you want to attend a little dinner tomorrow night at our house? Wear your best formal attire! I'm sure you'll look dazzling as before. ☺

He's inviting me to a dinner?

"Aaaah!" I cheerfully jumped up and down.

Hold on, he said it's at their house. That means that his family is also there. My smile faded and I slumped down the bed. It isn't like before. It isn't just going to be John and me alone. And Korey's going to be there... his wife. His one and only love in the whole universe!

If only I had waited.
If only I had never reacted too much.
If only I had waited for the right time.

I hate living a life full of regrets. 12 years had passed but it feels like everything just happened yesterday. When I went to Philippines, I thought that I will manage to forget him. Until they formed a band named Skillet. Every single day, I couldn't help myself from listening to John's voice. He's also the reason why I've become more faithful. His voice is just so... addicting. Like a drug, consuming every part of my mind, heart, body, and soul. I love him more than life itself. But I know that it's already too late.

I really need some help.

I got my phone again and called up Betsy. (A/N: Surprise! Just wait for the other one.)

Now Betsy is my friend that I had met in a Skillet concert. Both of us are very addicted to Doggy.

"Wassup?" she picked up.

"Hey, Betsy. I need your help."

"It's about John, isn't it?"

"Y-yeah. I... can't... I j-just..."

"Spit it out!"

"I just can't stop loving you!"

"Eeer... what?"

LOL. That came out wrong. That was meant for John. xD

"No, I mean... I can't stop falling for John! I'm head over heels to him! It hurts, Betsy! I should've never came back. It was a huge mistake!"

"Rica, you've got to admit that John is already married with somebody else. He was just somebody that you used to love. I'm sorry, girl."

There was a long silence after she had said that. Betsy's right. I should stop fooling myself that John still loves me. I should be contented that we're still friends before he's... gone.

Wow! School is extra-ordinary! Imagine meeting a simple guy that was your teacher and also made a huge impact in your ordinary life. Just... wow!

"Hello? Are you still there? Helloo?"

"Yes."

"Do you want me to come over?"

I want to but my pride is taking over so...

"Nah. I'm fine."

"Oh. OK. Give me a ring when you want to." she hanged up.

*The Next Day*

I went to a salon to treat myself a make over. I want to look best for John... err... I mean to look best for the Skillet family. I also picked up a nice short red dress.

The day went on with me having thoughts about the dinner. Then, night finally came. I stood in front of the gate of their house.

John's POV

"Honey, dinner's almost ready." Korey yelled from downstairs.

"Ya, I'll be there in a sec." I replied.

I applied some gel on my hair and styled it the way I always does. I descended downstairs.

*DING DONG, DING DONG*

Ah! Must be Rica.

I happily opened the door for her and... woah! I eyed her from head to toe. Her hair is fabulously braided and her red dress fits her very well.

She nudged me and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Uh... nothing. Come in."

She entered the house. I swallowed the lump on my throat. Who knows if this will end up well. Everything was going smoothly until we reached the dining room.

"Guys, this is... Rica." I introduced her.

Ben tilted his head and frowned when he saw Rica. He rose up from his sit, his eyes were widened.

"Ri-Rica, i-is that... you?" Ben stuttered.

"Ben?!"

"Rica, do you know Ben?" I got in the middle of them.

Ben's POV

I can't believe it! My first ex-girlfriend is here. (A/N: So yeah it's clear. Rica's first love isn't John but Ben :P)

"Yes. She knows me." I said before Rica could talk.
"She was my first girlfriend." I added with my arms folded.

The room was suddenly filled with a dark atmosphere. Korey and John kept on exchanging looks while Jen kept on staring at Rica with dark menacing eyes.

"You cheated on me, Ben!" Rica exclaimed.

"You're too pathetic and sensitive! That's why!"

Rica's eyes began to water.

"See? You're a wimp!" I snapped at her.

"Ben, stop it!" John pushed me.

I shoved John away and splashed a drink on his face. He fell aback and stumbled down. The drink was pretty hot. Korey rushed to his side and she glared at us. "You guys, please stop!"

Jen grabbed the salad and threw it all to Rica.

"What the?!" Rica grabbed the chocolate fondue and splashed it all to us.

"You're wasting all the food!"Korey panicked.

We didn't listen and we kept on fighting.

"You pathetic slut! You even got Ben!" Jen yelled while smearing a mustard onto Rica's face.

Rica pulled Jen's hair and poured Dr. Pepper on Jen's head.

"Aaah! How dare you! I wasted a lot of money just to get this hairstyle!"

John screamed hysterically at the demise of his beloved Dr. Pepper.
"No, my Dr. Pepper! I'll save you!" (A/N: Remember that line in their podcast?)

John stretched out his hand but Korey pulled him away to their bedroom.

They left us there until midnight. Rica went home mad. Jen and I were punished to clean the whole place up.
