Stand By Me [Fanfic]

Asking For Trouble

As we both pulled away from the kiss, I backed up slowly. I had no idea why I did that.

"We can't tell, Gordie" I said shaking my head.

"I am so sorry, Tris" Chris said to me.

"No, It's fine, really. We both didn't mean it. We just can't tell him." I said staring at my shoes.

"Agreed" He said. I felt terrible.

Sometimes I wonder if maybe my parents weren't so terrible at raising children, my life wouldn't be so fucked up. I'd never had some actually care about be. My dad is hardly around and my mom is always focused on how much of a lady I should be, she doesn't even try to get to know me. I guess I was the messed up one in a way. I wasn't wanted, I was an accident.

Originally my parents wanted to have one kid. Billy. And then I guess I was an unwanted surprise, and I always got shamed for it. I was the unwanted one, and if you ever had dinner with my family, you would be able to tell. And then a few years later they were like "what the hell, let's have another". Man is my family fucked up.

"I'm sorry" Chris said distracting me from my thoughts.

"About the kiss?" I asked.

"Yeah" Chris said.

"No it's fine, it was me" I said.

We kept walking. And I stopped, and sat down. He followed me over to the ground and sat beside me.

"God, are our we gonna be as fucked up as our parents?" Chris asked me.

"No way, I'm going to love my kid" I said.

"Same, I'm not gonna treat my kid the way I get treated" Chris agreed.

"Do you just even wish that you could go somewhere, and just start over?" I asked Chris.

"Definitely" he said. "Where no one knows the last name chambers"

"I want to go somewhere, no one the last name Tessio" I replied. "Everyone says, I'm a dumb ass because of my brothers, and what makes even worse, I'm a girl and apparently they can't be smart" I said. "It's like Patricia Tessio, the airhead"

"At least you don't get in trouble for things you didn't even do." Chris said.

"It's not fair for you, you're the exact opposite of what everyone says you are. Chris your the sweetest guy I know, you always listen, and you never force anyone to do anything, and somehow you always understand" I said. He smiled.

"I can see why Gordie likes you so much" Chris said.

"Did he tell you about me?" I asked.

"Yeah" Chris started laughing. "The boy doesn't shut up about you"

"Really?" I asked smiling.

"Yeah, he said and I quote 'Patricia is the most beautiful girl in castle rock, and probably the world.'" Chris said.

"I don't know why I did it" I blurted.

"Yeah, he probably hates you right now" Chris said. I glared at him. "But not for long"

"It's just it feels so weird you know? I mean he's Almost 13 and I'm 16, and it seems like everyone is saying it's unnatural"

"Yeah, but if he was three years older than you, no one would question it right?" Chris asked knowing the answer.

"yeah, I guess so. God the world is so sexest, like, I can't wear shorts without old ladies shaming me, and Guys staring at my ass. Can't they all grow up?" I asked.

"I don't know why, they even do that, I'll never do that" Chris promised.

"Yeah? In three years, I'm sure you'll change your mind." I said.

"No way man, I swear on my mother's good name, I'll never do it" He promised. I smiled at him.

"Chris, you're a real good friend" I said to him.

"Thanks" He said, as we walked back to the tree house.

We got to the tree house, and I turned to Chris.

"I gotta go home" I said to him.

"Want me to tell Gordie?" Chris asked me.

"Nah, I'll tell him tomorrow" I said.

"Okay" Chris said nodding.

As soon as I woke up, I got ready and I walked to the tree house. When I got there Gordie was yelling at Chris.

"You fucking kissed her! I saw it, don't give me shit, you faggot!" Gordie yelled. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Gordie Stop!" Chris said.

"NO! You know how I felt about her, you know how much I loved her, and then you went, and kissed her!" He yelled.

I could see Vern and Teddy laughing at them, and then they shut up real quick, as soon as Gordie threw a punch, at Chris. They soon started scrambling down the tree house ladder, and I started to sprint up the hill.

Before Vern, and Teddy even got down the ladder, I was already right by Gordie, and Chris. I went to go pull Gordie away from Chris, and Gordie accidentally elbowed me in the cheek, just as Vern got down the ladder.

"You hurt my sister! I'm gonna kill you!" Vern yelled at Gordie, and he ran and tackled Gordie to the ground. It was complete chaos.

"Stop!" I shouted "Hey!" I screamed. They all stopped and looked at me."Vern get off of Gordie, and Gordie stop trying to kill Chris" I said. I had to fix this.
