Friendly Encounters (A Ricky Horror Fanfiction)

Chapter 6 (Slight Trigger Warning)

Ellie's POV
-----arrival at Ricky's house-----
Ricky got out of the car and came over to my door. He reached to open the door but I tapped on the window, signaling I didn't want him to. He put his hands up and walked over to the front door. I got out and quickly rushed over to him. He opened the door and I saw all the boys on the couch, beers in hand, same as yesterday. "Ellie!" Chris screamed, getting up. "Hi." I said quietly. "Don't act shy. Come on! We're all friends." Chris said and put his arm around me. I slipped out of his grasp and sat on the couch, while Ricky had a conversation with Angelo. I didn't feel like interrupting them just yet so I looked down at my fingers. "Um..hi." An unfamiliar voice greeted me. I looked over to see a girl who looked about the same age as me. She had black straight hair, a pale complexion, and petite facial features. She had on black eyeshadow which was blended with a dark purple, black lipstick, and drawn eyebrows. My face felt naked around her considering I never felt the need to draw on my eyebrows or wear exciting eyeshadows. "Oh...hi...I'm Ellie." I said quietly. "I'm Jessica." She said with an obvious fake smile. Shit this is Ricky's girlfriend. She just saw me walk into the house with her boyfriend. Shit shit shit. I started to panic. Before I could say anything, Ricky came over and spoke,"Oh um..Jess this is Ellie. She's my tutor for school. She's cool." Jessica rolled her eyes and looked at Ricky. "How was your day?" She said. "Oh it was..." Before Ricky could finish his sentence, Jessica interrupted him with a kiss. It was a very passionate kiss. I put my head into my shirt and everyone started to "boo" them. "Get a room ya nasties!" Balz yelled. I got out from my shirt and saw Ryan looking at me. He smiled. "Don't worry, none of us like to see them kiss." He said. I smiled back. Chris threw an empty water at them and they stopped kissing. "Shouldn't you be studying with Ellie? She didn't just come here to watch you make out with Jess." He said. "Shit sorry Ellie!" Ricky said and grab his books. Jessica sighed loudly and turned to me. I mouthed sorry at her and she rolled her eyes. Ricky started to walk to the room we went to yesterday and it looked cleaner. I sat down and he sat down next to me. "Ok ready to start? For real, today." I said. He laughed. "Yeah sure I love.....math?" He questioned. "Yeah math." I said opening my books. "Ok so..." I was about to begin but I was interrupted by a scream. "RICKY!" The person screamed. Ricky got up and went to the living room. I sighed and banged my head against the table slightly. I zoned out and started drawing a ashtray filled with cigarettes. My trance broke when I heard a voice scream my name. "ELLIE!" The person, which sounded like Angelo, screamed. I got up and walked over. "What?" I said annoyed. Everyone started to laugh. "What?" I said again, more confused than annoyed. "Nothing. We just wanted you to come over here so we could all hang out together. Yesterday was fun. Well...until....you and Ricky..." Balz said than Ricky punched his arm, stopping him. Balz cleared his throat. "I meant when you and Ricky had to go study math...." He said. Jessica glared at me and I looked away. "No not today. We have to study." I turned away and started walking back to the room. Suddenly, a hand grabbed me. I turned to see Ricky holding my hand. "Come on Ellie...please? Just for a little." He said softly. I looked at the others. Jessica looked really mad and Chris was smiling really hard. "No Ricky, we have to study." I demanded. "Come on Ellie!" Ryan shouted. "Ellie! Ellie!" Everyone except Jessica began to chant. "Fine fine! It's not like you seem to care about your grades so why should I care?" I said loudly. Ricky laughed. "Shut up! You love hanging out with us!" He said. I rolled my eyes. At this point, Jessica looked super pissed. I tried not making eye contact with her, but she kept staring at me. I sat on the couch, in between Balz and Chris. "Want a beer?" Chris offered. "I'm straight edge. I'm good." I said. "Sick! Me too! All these alcoholics are stupid." He said, pointing at everyone in the room. I laughed. Everyone watched a hockey game, which I wasn't interested in, and I got super bored. "I'll be back." I said and got up. I went to get my sketch book from my bag. I got it and proceeded to the living room. I turned the corner to see Ricky and Jessica making out. I quickly turned away and found myself sitting in the kitchen. I started zoning out again, drawing a picture of a broken skull. Then, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Chris smiling. "Hey, why'd you retreat to our kitchen?" He said, taking a seat next to me. "Oh. Well, Ricky and his whore are just fucking making out excessively over there and I'm not really in the mood to see that so.." I said then covered my mouth quickly. "I didn't mean that shit sorry um" I stuttered. Chris laughed then said,"It's okay. None of us like her." My eyes widened. "You look surprised." Chris said. "Well yeah...what do you have against her?" I said. Chris began," She's a slut! She cheated on Ricky twice and keeps coming back to him. She was the reason Ricky started cutting so badly. One time, we had to go to the hospital and get Ricky stitches because he cut really deep." He stopped. "Shit I wasn't supposed to say that." He mumbled. "It's ok. I know about the cuts. I just didn't know the reason." I said. I felt my body get tense. "Yeah....she's a bitch....Ricky deserves someone better. He has a big heart and he's wasting it on that disease out there." Chris said looking down. I frowned. "He'll come to his senses one day." I said. Chris looked up and smiled. "Well I should be getting back out there. You coming?" Chris offered. I nodded slightly and followed him back outside into the living room. When I came out, I saw everyone sitting on the floor in a circle, a bottle in the middle of them. Spin the bottle. Everyone turned to Chris and I. "ELLIE! Wanna join us?" Ryan shouted. Chris nudged me forward and said,"She would love too!" I rolled my eyes and sat between two unfamiliar girls. "Hi! I'm Naomi!" One of the girls said. The other girl tapped me and said,"And I'm Nicole!" I smiled. "Nice to meet you." I said softly. Then they both gasped. "OMG are you Chris' girlfriend?" Nicole said. "ew no....I mean...no." I said. Ghost came into our conversation and said,"yeah cause he's mine!" I laughed. "Well, enough talk! Let's play!" Naomi shouted. Everyone got comfortable. "Ok here are the rules: 1. Don't chicken out 2. You need to full on make out, no 1 sec kisses 3. No tongues cause that's just gross." Ryan said. We all nodded and Balz spun the bottle. The bottle landed on Ghost. Then Ghost spun it. And it landed on Angelo. They slowly kissed and everyone started cheering. Chris awkwardly laughed the whole time. Everyone started spinning the bottle, not one time did it land on me. Then, the bottle landed on Ricky when Jessica spun it. Ricky spun the bottle and it landed on Nicole. I saw Chris slightly push the bottle towards me. "Wtf!" I yelled. Nicole pulled me closer to her and whispered," it's okay, I didn't want to do it anyway. And besides, you guys would make a cute couple. Maybe this kiss will strike some sense into Ricky and he'll break up with Jess." I laughed. "Ok let's get this over with." I walked over to Ricky.
