Saide was in the car with Eyeball. Nothing had been said since they left the party and it had been a silent car ride up untill now. Saide had been staring at Eyeball for a while,admiring him really. She didnt care if it looked weird and she didnt think she needed to justify herself. She was staring at him cos she thought he was beautiful, and because her awareness had disapeared slightly because of the alcohol. She wasnt going to tell him she thought he was angelic,she wasnt going to say anything because she loved the silence. The kind of silence that isnt awkward and didnt exist because they were struggling to think of something to say but because just being in eachothers company was satisfying enough.
Eyeball glanced at Saide and smirked as she casually stared at him with puppy dog eyes. "What you lookin at?" He playfully said while pushing her thigh gently and keeping his hand there. "Nothin" she replied with a smile. Saide clasped eyeballs hand and started playing with his fingers. He took a deep breath and looked the other way to calm himself. "You wanna talk about what happened back there?" Eyeball asked but kept his eyes on the road. Saides face fell and her mood changed. "Not tonight Richy" she said with a glum voice. They were nearly home and Richy thought about taking the long way but it seemed like Saide needed to be home so he pulled up onto their street a few minutes later and parked up outside his house. It was his turn to admire Saide. He looked at her with no expression but his eyes said so much. If it wasnt for the alcohol Saide wouldve gotten very nervous about being next to eyeball and with his eyes on her. The type of nervs where shed freak out and blush at the time and then spend the rest of the month thinking about. 4 minutes had passed and they both exchanged glances but neither of then knew what to do next.
"You look gorgeous tonight" eyeball whispered looking down at his legs. This made Saide look at eyeball and smile. "Thankyou" was all she said. She didnt know what she was waiting for. She started to wonder if she looked desperate or if she outstayed her welcome. "Should i go?" She questioned. "Wait" Eyeball said instantly still looking down at his legs. He looked like he was thinking. He then looked up and stared at Saide for a bit longer. He opened his mouth to speak, then it closed and a few more seconds later he asked quite seriously "how drunk are you right now?". Saide was quite drunk and her responce which was to burst into a fit of giggles answered eyeballs question. He giggled with her and then said a quiet "okay" to himself and quickly got out of his car. He made his way over to Saides door and opened it holding out his hand to help her step out.one foot out of the car was fine but the next step made her fall and stumble. She giggled again and eyeball laughed with her. Eyeball saw an oppertunity and he picked Saide up bridal style and walked her effortlessly to her front garden. When he put her down she was still uneasy and so she was leaning on him mainly for physical support. "Youre amazing eyeball, i cant believe ive never got to know you and find out how great you are Richy, Richy not eyeball, did i sas Eyeball?" Saide blurter out. "You did" he said with a big smile. "I hate the name Eyeball, i love you , but hate the name Eyeball" she said without a care in the world. But Eyeball heard something that he repeated straight after. "You love me?" He said , not sure if he wanted to hear the answer. "Ofcourse i do, i just said it didnt i Eyeball, EYEBALL, what a silly name" she then laughed , a drunk over the top kind of laugh that Eyeball adored. "I just think youre saying that cos youre drunk" he said , "maybe,but richy baby i never lie even when im drunk" she said with a sexy smirk and she turned to walk away but her stumbling and tripping up made the situation quite hilarious. Richy cracked up as he watched Saide walk away and she laughed with him and as she reached her door, she turned around and gave him a big smile and then left Eyeball out in the street on his own smiling like an idiot. He headed home and couldnt stop mouthing 'oh my god' until he went inside.
The next day was rough. Saide was sat up in her bed at 2:00pm having just woken up. She remembered everything from the night before and was cringing. The way she remembered it was that she completley embarassed herself infront of eyeball and he probably thought she was an idiot. She slowly made her way down the stairs and the creaks on the steps made her head bang. She clenched her forhead and shuffled to the kitchen to make some cereal, spending more time in the refrigorator then she usually would trying to cool down. 5 minutes later her mother came in and rubbed her daughters head. "Thats the price you pay for a good night partying" she said with sympthy. "Anyway" Grace said eagerly "i have some news". Saide looked up from her cereal and saw her mother with a face of makeup and her finest jewelley and clothes. "Sarah something happened last night which i believe is for the best, me and your father are getting a divorce" Grace carried on "last night it was revealed in a unfortunate way that myself and Frank chambers have had a relationship for quite a few months now. You're father sees it fit to leave the household but will remain in your lives and will live close by". Saides mouth was wide open, her spoon full of cereal was in mid air and it looked like shed been paused or frozen."what the fuck" Saide gasped . "Language dear" Grace replied. "Youve been fucking Eyeballs dad!" "Sarah! We have to be mature about this". Grace played with the beads on her braclet and had a cold expression on her face. "Your father and I have been growing a part for some time now, and Frank, well Frank hes so strong and passionate" , " about alcohol" saide added "No! Hes moved past that, hes so determined and loving,he treats me like a queen" Grace said like a love sick teenager. Saide was speechless, she wanted to cuddle her daddy and find him a loyal wife. "We'll be having a meal with him and his two boys tomorrow, you remember richard dont you, you used to be friends" Saide didnt reply. How could she be acting so heartless and casual about this. Grace got up and straightened her skirt and blouse. "Wear appropriate clothing and dont be immature, i'll see you later" and with that she left the room and then the house. What the fuck saide whispered to herself and she dropped her head into her hands and felt herself tearing up . Then she began to wonder if Richy had heard the news and if he was upset and wanted a hug. It was all too much and ontop of a hangover all Saide could do was go up to her room and cry into her pillow. Too chear herself up she thought about last night, she avoided the memories of tripping up and laughing like a weirdo and focused on the way eyeball looked at her and how he said she was beautiful. How she felt so comfortable in his arms after Denny.... Saide wrapped the sheets around her as flash backs came back of Denny forcing himself onto her. She squeezed her eyes shut and made herself think about richy , her amazing richy. Then she recalled how she claimed she loved him which made her sqiurm , initially thinking that it made her look so eager and too forward. Infact it was the opposite.
