THE FUCK BOYS (Completed)

CHAPTER 6- MOVIE NIGHT

CHAPTER 6- MOVIE NIGHT

I woke up at 7:32am on Saturday morning. I got breakfast and ate it in my room. Changed into sweats, fed Liz, and went out for a jog.

I have jogged 2 times before. I sorta found my way around. I went to a nearby park. A passion that only my brother knew about was basketball. I don't know why but I like it a lot. I aimed for the hoop whenever somebody jumped up in the air and caught it. That's when I saw Donte. A smirked and gave me my ball back. I was trying to play normally but his gaze was on me. I was starting to leave when he called my name.

" Rachael" he said and ran up in front of me. I was a little shocked that he didn't call me Sweetcheeks. He narrowed his eyes at me. " Are you alright? You seem... Sad." He said putting his hand on my head.

I shook my head. "I'm fine Donte" But I really wasnt. Today was a bad day. It never was a god day. It's never been the same for 3 years. That's when I see his face go soft. His thumb swiped my cheek. I didn't even know I was crying.

I broke down.

He hugged he and shushed me. Strangely, it calmed me down. After a couple of minutes, I was calm. I swallowed the lump in my throat before asking " I guess you want to know why I'm upset?"

He shook his head. " I do, but I don't want to upset you more. You don't have to-"

" I want to Donte." I said cutting him off. " It may be good getting it off of my chest." He stayed quiet. I took that as a sign to continue.

" It was three years ago. My family went to London for a vacation. By family, I mean my brother, my dad, my mom, and my best friend." My voice cracked at the end. " H-her name was Malary. Malary Olivia Cruz. I have been best friends with her since kindergarten. She was like me, but peppier. She was the best person in the world. She understood me.

It was our last night in London. Mal thought we should do something memorable for our last night. We woke up my brother and we headed out to a field by the city streets. We thought it would be fun to have dancing and singing competitions. Mal won the dancing, I won the singing. We were wondering around because we got bored. We came across some go-carts. Of course, we were 14, we had to ride them. At first, Satchel was chasing us. Then we chaced Satch. He drifted of somewhere and Mal chased me.

I didn't know were else to go, so I got closer to the city streets. It wasn't very busy but it was 2:15am. I looked back to see Mal still chasing me. I then heard a honk. A car was coming towards me. I swerved my cart but it still hit me. It also hit... Malary. Satchel came and called an ambulance and then our parents. I was so freaked out. My left arm and a few ribs ached. I looked over at Mal and saw her surrounded by a puddle. I then realized it was a puddle of blood. I screamed her name. Satchel came over to me to comfort me. He said that she was gone. I didn't believe it. I couldn't. She couldn't. I screamed her name so much that I began to lose my voice. It was even harder trying to yell over the billions of sirens.

The cops said it could've been a drunk driver. We were technically still on the field and not on the road. I suffered from 4 broken ribs and my left arm was dislocated. I asked the doctors many times how Mal was doing and they kept saying they couldn't give out that information. I asked for days. I was let out after 2 weeks in the hospital. The day I got let out-" I sniffed back tears " that's when I heard that Mal p-passed. S-she couldn't have lived. She s-suffered the most  injuries that her body wouldn't be able to fix. That day, I my heart felt... Empty. I barely made it through the funeral.. I cried so much. I cried and got sick. I cried and nothing would get better. I cried for months.

I started having nightmares about that day. I haven't had them for about 3 months now. They were bad. I would wake up sweating, shaking, and even screaming. My family would always calm me down by singing. That's how I began to love it so much. And I love basketball because it's the only sport she beat me in. I loved her.. I still do and I miss her." I say crying again. We were now sitting under a tree. Some people stared but I didn't care. This was hard.

" Sweetcheeks, it's okay to cry. It's good you let it all out. Just remember the great times you had. Remember how she treated you and the ones you loved. Just don't forget her. Always remeber her. Remember how she is watching over you right now, smiling. Remember she will always be proud of you no matter what. Remember she wants to see that bright smile on your face. Remember that she loves you too." Donte said soothingy rubbing my back. My sobs stooped. I was alright now.

" Donte?" I asked

" Hmm?" He said looking down at me.

" I'm sorry... For getting your shirt wet" I snuggle closer to him.

He chuckles softly. " It's fine. Nothing to be sorry about. C'mon we should get back." He said standing up. I nodded my head and we started home. We got to the sidewalk in front of our houses. He hugged and and I hugged him back. My face in the crook of his neck, his chin on the top or my head. I pull back, kiss him on the cheek, and go into my house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Satchel is out with mom and dad. They went to a party. They know what day it is ( exactly 3 years since the accident) and they know I don't like a lot of noise. They always go somewhere and I usually have a movie night with myself. But I was feeling different. I invited Grey, Donte, and Quinn over for movie night. They always knew how to cheer me up.

" Okay what kind of movie. Horror, Thriller, Romance, Comedy, Sappy, Cliche-" Quinn started.

" Okay Q, we get it. Lil' Mama, what do you want to watch?" Grey asks me handing me the remote. I scroll through Netflix only to find my favorite movie of all time. The best movie ever created. The movie that send a smile on my face every time I watch it. It was also my best friend's favorite. " Please please please can we watch Finding Nemo? I love that movie. C'mon please?" I begged them. I knew that they thought it was stupid by the way they groaned that it lit up meaning I was about to press it. They looked at each other then nodded. I threw myself on top of them and said  "Thank you" a bunch of times. I set up the movie while Grey made popcorn, Quinn got any other snacks he could find, and Donte got the pop.

Once we were all seated, I pressed play. It started and I looked around at my friends. How were they ever labelled as the bad boys in our school? It kept popping into my mind. I finally asked it.

" Guys, how were you guys ever labelled as the bad boys. You punks are a bunch of softies" I said smiling at them.

Quinn shrugged. " I guess people just like to be sexest and stereotypical." He drank his Pepsi and continued watching the movie.

Throughout the movie, they actually laughed at it. I yawned and snuggled into Donte next to me. He put and arm around me. He turned and smiled at me. SMILED. I smile back. I notice they all are smiling and not smirking. And their smiles are the best thing you've ever seen.

I drift off to sleep, but am still awake to feel 3 kisses; one on my right cheek from Grey. One of my left cheek from Quinn. And one my head from Donte.

This was, by far, the best movie night ever
