Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Just A Mess." - Chapter 15

Evan's p.o.v.

I woke up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. So I threw it on the ground as any rational person would. Ewww! I feel wet and sticky. I looked down. "Fuck." I muttered as I stood up and looked down at my Batman pajama pants. I look at my bed and saw my sheets were damp. "Fuck!" I said a little louder.

Drake's voice spoke from down the hall, "Evan?" As the door started to open, he continued, "Michael wanted me to check on you. What was that noise? And why-" He cut himself off as he bursted into laughter.

I felt the embarrassment sink in. "Shhh!"

"Oh, I gotta tell Jordan and Devon." He said and turned around.

"No!" I yelled.

He turned back around. "Why?" A small evil glint invaded his eyes.

"Please don't tell them! Please!" I got on my knees and put my hands together, begging.

"What do I get?" He asked.

"What? Nothing." I said with a huff.

"Fine. Dev-" He started.

"Okay! Okay! Here." I got up and went to my wallet, taking out twenty dollars. I handed it to him. "Now, can you please not tell them. Please!" I begged.

"Sure!" He said and left at the same time Michael yelled up, telling me I had to get ready for school. I thought for a few moments and decided to take off my sheets and hide them in my closet, along with my pajama pants and boxers. Not the smartest idea, I realized. I'll clean them later. I changed into some camo shorts and then remembered I got new shirts. I opened my door to be met with a curious Jordan, holding my bag of clothes.

"Rydel, dropped them off this morning." He said as he handed them to me.

"Thanks, J." I shut my door. I cringed a bit to myself. Why would I call him J? Wow, I am a bad liar. I gotta play this cool. I changed into my Ramones shirt and threw on a pair of black vans then I went downstairs.

"Hey, E." Jordan called from behind me, leaning on the wall in the living room.

I turned around to see Jordan, arms crossed over his chest and a smirk on his face. "Why'd you call me E?" I asked.

"I don't know." He answered scrunch his face a bit. "Why'd you call me J?" He asked. I didn't talk. I was busy thinking of an excuse. "It seems to me, you're hiding something, doesn't it?" He smirked and walked closer to me.

Shit. "I have nothing to hide." I answered a little too quickly.

"Easy." He put his hands out trying to calm me. "It was just a question." He said and pushed passed me. I went to the kitchen and saw Devon, Seth, Drake, and Todd doing homework. Well, Drake was copying Seth's homework. I sat next to Todd in my seat and grabbed his Nintendo DS he left off to the side.

"Evan, come on! It took me forever to get to that level!" Todd whined. I hissed at him. Yes, hiss like a cat. "Eva, give me my DS." Todd pouted.

"No!" I snapped as I started to play Legends Of Zelda. I'm cranky this morning because I have been having nightmares about the movie we saw. I don't even know why? I love horror movies and I'm sure if I re-watched it, it wouldn't even be that bad. I assume it was probably just everything going on in my head. To top it off, I pissed myself like a three-year-old.
