I got home in tears and slammed my door and locked it I sat on the floor and cried when my phone rang- Janie, fuck off!
- Aeliana, it's me Glen
- Glen?
- Yeah, it's me, can you come over?
- Why?
- Just come, please
I hung up the phone and grabbed my keys and left my house.
I got to his house and the door was unlocked, I walked in
- Glen?
I saw nothing but darkness
- Glen?
- In here!
I heard him yell
- Glen..
I walked into the kitchen and saw Glen on the floor with his head in his kness
- What's wrong, Glen?
He looked up at me
- I got fired Aeliana
He said, I looked at him and walked over to him
- From sex pistols?
- Yes!
- Why?
- I got in the bathroom with Steve, Steve Jones he's apart of the band and I guess Steve told Malcolm told him that he wanted to fire me cause I didn't have a good relationship with Johnny and my looks weren't the exact "punk" look they wanted so I got fired in the fuckin' bathroom
He said kicking the wall
- They fired you?
- Yes, did you not hear me say the stupid story?
He was getting upset and I could tell by the tone of his voice
- Don't be fuckin' yelling at me!
I said to him
- Sorry
He said
I signed
- I just- I just don't know what to do anymore at this point, I'm failing
He said putting his head in his knees
- What do you mean?
- I'm a failure, Aeliana, I fuck things up and make shit worse
He said
- Your not a failure, I don't think you are
He looked at me with tears in his eyes
- You don't have to love me anymore
- What?
- You don't deserve to love such a failure, a worthless blok
- Stop!
I yelled and stood up
- Your not a worthless blok and your not a fuckin' failure, fuck Steve and fuck Malcolm!
I yelled
He looked at me in shock
- Fuck the sex pistols! Fuck punk! Fuck this shit!
- Aeliana!
He stood up and looked at me
- Stop it
I leaned in and put my lips against his, I kissed him.
He pushed me away
- I'm sorry!
- Its ok I just-
He stopped his sentence
- I love you, Glen Matlock
- You love me?
I looked at the ceiling and then at him
- Yes! There I said it!
He smiled a little but stopped
- I'm a failure, why would you love-
- Stop saying your a fuckin' failure, Glen! Your not a failure nor a loser, your a nice gentleman who was fired by a stupid cause! If they can't see that, fuck 'em
I shouted
- Fuck 'em?
- Yeah, fuck 'em!
He got up and opened the bathroom door and left, he opened he opened the front door and stood on the steps shouting,
- Fuck you Steve! Fuck you Malcolm! Fuck you punk! Fuck you sex pistols! Fuck you life! Fuck 'em!
He shouted. People crossing the street and on the sidewalks and in their cars starred at him with disgust he flipped off almost everyone in the street, I laughed and he turned around and looked at me and laughed. He came over to me and kissed me on my lips
- I love you, Aeliana
He said.
