Stand By Me (Sbm FF)

Chapter 3

"You gotta see this" I said with a grin and Gordie finally reached us. Chris slowly pulled out the gun "You wanna be the Lone Ranger or the Cisco-Kid" Chris grinned and I playfully scoffed. Gordie grabbed the gun amazed "Walking, Talking Jesus where'd you get this?" He asked me

"Chris hawked it from our old mans bureau" I said and nodded towards it "It's a 45" Chris said and Gordie looked at him like he was stupid "I can see that"

He made a gun fire noise "You got shells for it?" He asked and continued to make his noises "Yea. Took the rest of the shells from the box. My old man will think that he shot em' all off while he was drunk" I said

"Is it loaded?" He asked and Chris scoffed "Hell no! What'd think I am" Chris chuckled. I watched Gordie pull the hammer back.

He pulled the trigger and it actually fired. We all screamed "Jesus!" and started running. Chris screamed out Gordie's name while we were running making Gordie pretty pissed

We stopped at a dime store and I looked threw the windows, trying to see what was in there.

The window swung open. I looked over and saw Eyeball and Ace walking out of the store.

"Where you going girls?"

I rolled my eyes and tried to walk with them but Ace grabbed Gordie's hat. His hat.

"Hey come on my brother gave that to me!" Gordie said trying to reach it. Ace put his hand on Gordie's chest and pushed him back "Well now your giving it to me" He smirked

"Fuck you" I spat

"You're a real asshole you know that?" Chris added

"Your brother and sister aren't very polite Eyeball" Ace remarked throwing his cigarette down "Now, Haze, Christopher. I know you didn't mean to insult my friend"

"Get over yourself you ignorant piece of shit" I spat. Ace chuckled and shook his head "I'm giving you too a chance to take that back" he said and I glared

He tripped Chris and grabbed me. He picked up his cigarette and Eyeball grabbed Chris

Gordie stood there yelling as Ace chocked me

"Stop that you asshole!" Chris yelled and Gordie stayed put yelling at Ace "Take it back" Ace whispered in my ear. I squirmed and coughed. He put his finger in my shirt and pulled my sleeve off my shoulder "Take it back" He said sternly. I gasped and Chris tried to get out of his grasp "I take it back!" I managed to choke out

He let go and i fell. Chris and Gordie fell the my side. I pulled my sleeve back up "You okay?" Chris asked, I nodded and looked up

"See you later, girls" Eyeball said and Chris helped me up "How could he--" I started but Chris patted my back

"Just forget it"

"Why do we need a pistol anyway?" Vern asked and I chuckled "It's scary sleeping out in the woods. We might see a bear" Chris shrugged "Or a garbage can" I chuckled and flung my arm around Gordie.

"I brought a comb" Vern said proudly "What do we need a comb for?" Chris asked and I looked at my hair "Well if we get on TV we wanna look good don't we? Plus, Haze might wanna brush hers" he shrugged. Me and Chris chuckled.

"It's a lot of thinking Vern" Gordie said and Vern smiled "Thanks!" He exclaimed.

Teddy flung his hand in his face. Vern flinched "Two for flinching" Teddy said and hit Vern in the arm twice. We stopped in front of a bridge and I put my arm down

"How far do you think it's gonna be?" I asked and Chris shrugged "If we follow the tracks into Harlow it might be about 20 miles. Sound about right Gordie?" Chris asked Gordie "Yea maybe even thirty"

"Gee maybe we should hitchhike" Vern said and we all rolled out eyes and continued walking "What? We go down to route 7 to the Shiloh church, Then go down the back Harlow road, we'd be there by sundown" Vern shrugged

"That's Pussy!" Teddy said and I chuckled. This outta be good "Dis you mother ever have any kids that lived?" Teddy asked and Vern furrowed his eyebrows "What D'you mean?" He asked cluelessly. I laughed and shook my head.
