Saide had to admit after Eyeball brought it up she did really want a milkshake but she had to wait for her mother to get back. Grace Collins ,mother of Saide and Charlie. She was a beautiful,social ,loving woman. She had many friends around the neighbour hood that she would visit everyday. Some say that it was bad parenting but if she came home at 4:00pm like she said she would and make dinner then her children werent complaining. She arrived home at about 3:54 and said "hello my darlings". Charlie was lying on the carpet looking at a comic book, Saide was in the kitchen having a snack. "Hey momma" charlie replied still focused on the pictures,"hello my gorgeous boy" Grace said again blowing him a kiss. She entered the kichen and saw her daughter looking down at her sandwich. "And hello to my gorgeous girl". Saide looked up and before she could reply she noticed something strange about her mother. Her hair was a mess,her blouse was buttoned wrong,her usual red lipstick had been rubbed off and there was a small rip in her skirt."hello mother" Saide said with a curious look. Her head was racing now and she went into deep discussion with herself. 'Why does she look a mess? Does she know she looks like that? Did she fall over on her way here, maybe she went swimming,i always look a mess after swimming'. So thats what Saide settled on,her mother had gone swimming,but she didnt ask she just forgot about it. "Your father wants Lamb tonight" Grace yelled so Charlie could here, "thats sounds great momma" he replied. Saide trailed off out of her kitchen and up to her room , dinner wouldnt be ready till her father got home anyway.
Robert collins , father of Saide and Charlie. He was a loving,hard working funny man. He loved his family, he showed them off like a trophy. He worked in a factory a couple miles out of castle rock,sometimes he worked nightshifts. The best part of his day was returning home at 7pm or 7am and being with his favourite people.
It was 7:45 and Robert had come home around 6:59pm. Everyone was gathered around the table sharing gravy,potatoes and vegetables. Asking how eachothers day was and laughing at Roberts jokes. It looked like a picture perfect family.
"I just fucking stood there stuttering" eyeball explained to Billy as he smacked his head off the table and hid his face in his arms. "Listen man,you just gotta relax abit, take it easy when you're around her" billy said while sipping his beer. Eyeball stared at him to show the advice was useless. "You dont think ive fucking tried that?" Eyeball said raising his voice. Ace made his way over from the pool table, the stick still in his hand, "are you still whining about that shit,it was about 4 hours ago?". Eyeball said nothing, he just slammed his head back down on the table and folded his arms infront of him. Hed usually try to hide his emotions from his friends but since everyone knew he just didnt see the point. "Youre up" ace said to billy,pushing the stick against him. As billy ran off Ace sat in his seat and looked at his bestfriend. "Look at you,youve turned into a pussy" Ace said quietly. "Look at that blonde chick by the bar,go and get laid, forget about Saide, thank me later" Ace carried on "hey look you can either sit here crying over that little bitch" , "hey!" Eyeball cried , "listen you can either sit here crying or go and get laid , go and get fuckin laid". Eyeball turned around to look at the bar, an average looking woman who had short blonde hair was sat on a stool minding her own business. "You think shes better then Saide?" Eyeball asked . "No ,but you cant have Saide,because you cant say two fuckin words to her". Eyeball let out a sigh, and got up hesitantly. As he was about to bother the young blonde woman he heard Ace say "hey what do you know!?" and they both saw Saide walking across the street and heading into the blue point diner across the road. "Shit" eyeball said quietly and sat back down straight away. "Maybe shes looking for you" ace teased "you did say you were going there" , "that was about 6 hours ago man". Ace leaned in closely like he was about to reveal some serious information "youre going to go over there and talk to her,buy a milkshake sit with her and speak like youre not a fuckin retard" , "what do i say though" , "i dunno,talk about the fuckin colour of your kitchen walls i dont give a fuck ,just have a conversation with her!". Eyeball knew Ace was right, he wanted to talk to her so much he just never knew what to say. Ace interupted his thoughts , "Ask her questions,ask her how her family is,chicks like that". Eyeball nodded like he was ready,but was still planted firmly to his seat. "Get the fuck up" ace said while pushing the table into eyeballs ribs. "Alright alright" eyeball yelled , he muttered to himself abit more and then shot out the door and power walked to the blue point diner while checking his hair in the window reflection.
