Partners in crime~ C.C

Chapter 6

Chris and I walked about 3 blocks until we found a blue pick-up truck and decided to hitch a ride to conserve our energy for the trip. It was a bumpy ride and I kept falling onto Chris's lap, not on purpose... Most of the time-

The truck bumped along again, but this time I went flying in the air and Chris caught me, "Woah! You're gonna end up flying off this thing and we'll be stranded!", I laughed , "I wouldn't mind being stranded with you though..", we made eye contact

He really does have the prettiest eyes...

I swear we were so fucking close to kissing, but Gordie's dumbass had to call out our names. We had apparently made it into town but we were... Busy...

"Mary! Chris!" Gordie called out, Chris slapped his hand on the side of the truck, "Right here's good! Thanks!", The truck driver tipped his hat, "No problem, kid."

We hopped off the truck and Chris' face lit up, "You guys wanna see something cool?", Gordie and I shared a confused look before agreeing

Chris started running to the backside of the 'blue point' diner, I was starting to get irritated, "C'mon, man! What is it?!", Chris stopped by some trash cans, looked around, and pulled out a fucking gun. Both Gordie and I gasped. Chris handed it to Gordie as he reached out for it,

"Walkin', Talkin', Jesus! Where'd ya get it?", Chris laughed, "Hawked it from my old man's stash! It's a .45.", Gordie rolled his eyes at him, "I can see that."

I gotta admit, I was pretty freaked out about a gun being in front of me since I've never seen one this close up,
"Ya got any shells for it?", Chris smiled at me, "Yeah, took the rest that was in the box. My dad will probably think he used the rest of them shooting beer cans while he was drunk.", when Chris said that, the vision of my dad being at the bottom of the stairs washed over my mind again. I was lost in thought for what seemed like hours. I was snapped out of it when I heard a gun shot, then I felt Chris grab my wrist and drag me along with him.

"GORDIE DID IT! GORDIE LACHANCE IS SHOOTIN' UP CASTLE ROCK!", Chris laughed out like a schoolgirl while Gordie attempted to quite him, "Shut up, Chris! It's not funny!", I couldn't help but laugh at their stupidity. After a minute or so of Gordie walking angerily in front of us, Chris realized he wasn't joking, so he stopped him,

"C'mon man, I didn't now it was loaded... Honest.", Gordie softened his glare, "You promise?",

"Yeah I promise."

"On your Mother's grave?"

"Yeah, I promise!"

"Even if she goes to hell now because you lied?"

"Yes, I promise?"

".... Pinky promise?"

Chris sighed, crossed his pinky ever his chest, kissed the end and intertwined it with Gordie's, "Pinky promise."

I burst out laughing. They're like kindergarteners, I swear to god.

We all had a good laugh on it and continued on with our walk... Until...

We were passing a bar right as Ace Merril and Eyeball Chambers came out.

Well, shit.

I wasn't scared for myself, I know I can handle Ace and eyeball, but I know that Chris usually tries to act like he isn't scared, which pisses Ace off.

"Hiya, Girls." Ace said as he yanked the yankee cap that Gordie was wearing off of his head, "Hey, man! Give that back, man! My brother gave me that hat!", Ace held it above his head, just out of reach,
"Well, now you're giving it to me!", I could feel Chris getting heated from watching this

Don't say anything, Chris... Please, don't say anything.

"You're a real asshole, ya know that?"

Well, fuck.

"Oh, sounds like your brother's not being very nice, Eyeball."

Ace handed the yankee cap to Eyeball who slid it on his crusty head,
"Now, Christopher, I know you didn't mean to insult my friend like that.." Ace laughed, "Oh, I know he didn't. That's why I'm giving him the opportunity to take it back!", a real snarky thing came to mind, and I couldn't help but to say it

"Wow, I didn't know you knew such big words, Ace! I really thought your vocab sheet was the size of your dic-"

Ace rolled his eyes and caught me off, "Oh fuck off, Mary! You won't be so snarky once I fuck with your little boyfriend here."

I smiled and stepped forward, pushing Ace away from Chris,
"Trust me, He's not into that.", I tried walking away but Ace pulled me back by my arm,
"You don't just fucking walk away from me, Mary. You should learn that now.", he threw me off to the side and continued on with messing with Chris

I took a second to catch my breath before realizing he had Chris on the ground and was leaning his entire body weight on his back, making it so he could barely breath. At this point, with everything that's happened today, I have so much rage that I wasn't even thinking right

I ran up to Ace and pushed him of Chris, making him stumble backwards. He looked pissed like... Really pissed.

He reached for his back pocket like he was going to pull out hid switchblade, until he realized I had it. I snatched it from his pocket when they stopped us a few minutes before. The world stopped for a minute as I switched the blade up, causing the color in Ace's face to drain.

Ace took a few steps forward, "C'mon kid- just give me my knife and we won't have a problem-", I laughed, "Oh, we already have a problem, Ace. You've fucked with us too many times for us to 'not have problems'."

I think it was at this point Ace knew I really wasn't joking. He cleared his throat and signaled for Eyeball to join him and continue walking. They turned their backs on us and right as they did, I ran up and snatched Gordie's Yankee cap from Eyeball's head. Eyeball looked back and sneered, but didn't do anything, "Dumbasses."

I felt proud as I walked back to Chris and Gordie. I flapped the cap on Gordie's head making it cover his eyes, "You should wear it just like that!",
"Oh very funny, Mary!" Gordie laughed out as we started to walk to the tracks.

And again the author doesn't know how to end this chapter so she's ending it here.
