Geek Without His Beauty

Nineteen

I looked up at the person in my bedroom doorway as I tried to back up as much as possible. I hadn't even noticed it was raining until a loud clap of thunder shook the house and the room was lit by the flash of lightning. "Stay the fuck away from me!" I scrambled closer to the bedside table where the phone was. When I moved he moved and I grabbed the first thing my hand landed on and threw it. "Ah! Fuck! What the fuck, babe?"

I stood up but stayed on the other side of the room. "Randy?" I asked hesitantly. He reached over and flicked on the light. "Yeah. Care to tell me why you're running from me and throwing shit?" He asked, rubbing his shoulder. "Why the fuck are you in my house?" I asked. He stepped forward coming around towards me. I jumped over the bed and backed towards the door. "I wanted to make sure you were okay. Why are you running from me?"

"So now you want to make sure I'm okay." I scoffed and backed up closer to the door. "What're you talking about?" He asked. He had a look in his eyes that I didn't like. "I've always cared about you, yn. I've always made sure you were okay and that nothing would happen to you. You're the one that pushed me away, remember? But yet here I am still making sure nothing bad happens to you," he said, slowly walking towards me. "Stay away from me! I know it was you. I know you're the one that chased me and Sid. You and your little girlfriend." I backed out into the hallway.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" He asked, frustrated. "I read your file that Kincaid has on you. You know the girl that was supposed to be playing Sidney in Stab 3. She was there too at the studio. Sidney ran into her in the bathroom. Billy said you disappeared once you saw I was gone. Then you left the station without a word and I didn't hear from you until now. I'm alone in the house. Nobody's home. Easy for you to just take care of me."

I kept backing up closer to the stairs and he moved closer to me. "Okay, so I know Angelina. But, baby…I would never cheat on you and I sure the fuck wouldn't hurt you. I had some shit to take care of at home," he said. I let out a loud laugh. "Billy went to your house and you weren't there. I called hours ago and still you weren't home." He stepped towards me and I stepped back. "Stay away from me!" He stopped in his tracks and held his hands up. "Baby, please. I promise you, I would never hurt you. I was trying to help Angelina get the role. Her mom knows mine, that's it.

"As for me disappearing at the studio– I did go looking for you. When I saw you were gone I felt panic set in. I went looking for you. And at the station, I had to go meet the director of the movie I was working on. I did go home, my mom and sister weren't there though. Then I went for a drive. Then I got a call from John Milton. He wants me to direct Stab 3 when all this shit is over. He's going to fire Roman."

He took another step closer and I took off down the stairs. "Fuck! Come on, babe!" I heard his heavy footsteps running after me just as I rounded around to the steps that led downstairs. "Yn, stop running from me. I'm not going to hurt you!" How can he say something like that while fucking chasing me?! As soon as I was at the bottom of the stairs I yanked the door open and ran out into the rain.

Billy

Me and Sidney were on our way home after having a night out with Tatum and Stu who were right behind us. "Do you think yn is okay?" I looked over at Sidney for a second before training my eyes back on the road. It had started to rain while we were in the movie theater. I could barely see ten feet ahead of me. "She would have called my phone if something was wrong. She's probably sleeping or reading," I said.

"But what if she can't get to a phone? Or the storm knocked out power?" I reached over and grabbed her hand. "Baby, look around. People have power," I said. I was trying to make it look like I was completely calm. But in reality I was anxious and my heart was pounding in my chest. I've been worried all fucking night. "Okay, but… I don't know, Billy, I have a bad feeling." I squeezed her hand before letting go so I could turn onto our street. When I pulled into the driveway I came to a sudden stop. "Oh, my god, is that yn?"

I put the car in park and got out running towards her. "Billy!" She yelled and slammed into me. "What the fuck is going on? Why are you out here?" I asked. She was shaking as a sob left her. "Yn!" I looked up to see someone else running down the driveway. "Yo, what's going on?" Stu came up beside me. "Who the fuck is that? Is that Randy?" He asked.

"Get in the car, yn," I said, pushing her towards the car. She didn't argue and quickly slipped into the back seat. I stormed towards Randy and he came to a stop. "Billy, look I can explain!" He said, back paddling. "Explain what? Huh?! Why the fuck are chasing my sister down the fucking driveway?!" The rain was soaking into my clothes. Stu and I stalked towards him. "It's all just a misunderstanding. I came here to check on her!" He yelled over the rain. The sky lit up with a flash of lightning. Both Stu and I pulled our knives out and he took off. "Motherfuck!"
