Terry Terry

Chapter 26"Imbroglio"

Terry was checking his emails when he got a surprise. He had just got one from Billie, telling him she was going to be at the Blue River Zoo the following week for some animal cause.

"Oh Billie! You remind me so much of Antonia... It will be good to see you again. I miss you, like I miss Antonia... oh baby, will I ever get over you? Is that why I don't want to get close to Candy? I'm afraid to forget about you? No, that can't be it, because, I will never forget you..."

oOoOoOoOoOo

Lady Candy was in her room and she got a phone call.

- Candice...

- Who is this?

- Francesca...

- What do you want?

- Boy, you're in a cheerful mood!

- I'm not having a good day.

- That's the least we could say...

- What do you want!? Asked Candy annoyed.

- I wanted to see if you'd like to come and have some drinks with us?

- On a school night?

- That's what's exiting about it!

Candy thought about how bored she was how she didn't feel like staying in school. What the heck?

- Yeah, why not? She said.

- Be ready in 5 minutes

- I'll jump the wall...

- With your evening gown?

- That's what's fun about it!

Candy put on a dress, with a long skirt, open on both side, making it easier for her to climb the wall. She put on a nice black coat and she was on her way, to have fun... on a school night!

oOoOoOoOoOo

Terry was in his bedroom asleep, when he heard some noise at the door. Like someone was trying a key but it was not working. So he got out of bed. He was only wearing some black shorts, with a t-shirt. He walked to the door, unlocked it, and opened it by pulling it, when he was surprised to see the door being pushed and someone falling on him.

- What the heck?? Said Terry.

- Oh f*uck! Whispered a voice.

Whoever that person was, he smelled booze and cigarette smoke. Terry had hair on his face, he tried to look at the person. When he saw who it was he was just stunned.

- Lady Candy...

- You've got to be f*ucking kidding me! Not you again! Shit!

- Jesus Christ! Can you watch your tongue? Is that way for a lady to talk?

- You just used the Lord's name in vain... Third commandment...

- Would you get off me? You're reeking! You've been drinking!

Candy had a hic up and she smiled.

- What's the matter, Master High and Mighty is shocked?

Then she had a little laugh. Terry got upset.

- Get off me!!! Said Terry a little louder...

Their mouths were so close together and they looked at each other for a few seconds. Terry could smell the alcohol in her breath. She was drunk! He gently pushed her aside on the carpet. He stood up and closed his bedroom door and locked it. Candy was still on the floor.

- What are you doing in my room?

- I thought it was my room... , said Candy trying to sit up.

- Your room in the boys' dorm's?

- I didn't know it was the boys' dorm...

- That's not surprising; you're wasted!

- Oh gee... you think? I've had too much sex on the beach... you think that might have something to do with the way I feel?

Terry looked at her stunned. What did she just said?

- Did you just say that you had too much sex on the beach? He asked.

- You never tried it? It's pretty good!

- Spare me the details! Said Terry upset.

- I'm going to get out of your hair, she said standing up.

She wanted to make a few steps, when...

- Ouch! She said.

Terry turned around, concerned.

- What's wrong? He asked.

He looked at the carpet where she was sitting a moment earlier and he saw stains of blood.

- You're bleeding!

- It's nothing; it's just a flesh wound...

- A flesh wound? Said Terry, let me see that!

There was a couch in the room, Terry approached her and he walked her to the couch. She sat down. He pulled the skirt of her pink dress; the wound was bleeding.

- Oh my God! Said Terry, where the heck were you?

- At this rave, then there was this brawl...

- Rave? Did you get stoned too? Was that before or after the sex on the beach?

Candy was in pain.

- Look, she said, I'm sorry for barging in your room, ok? I just need to rest, after the effort I made to climb the wall... I'll leave as soon as I'm strong enough...

- You're not going anywhere in that state Lady Candy... even though I'm not too sure "Lady" is appropriate tonight.

- I think I was more of a tramp tonight, she said with a little smile...

Terry looked at her and shook his head... He was looking for something in his drawers, he found a very big football jersey.

- Take off your clothes, he said.

- What? She asked stunned.

- Take your clothes off, said Terry.

- Baby, I want you too, but I'm kind of in bad shape...

- Don't flatter yourself! We're going to the infirmary...

- Why?

- Euh, you're bleeding??? We need to take care of that wound...

- But they're going to ask me where I got hurt...

- You're a very resourceful girl, I'm sure you'll think of something...

- I don't want to go...

- You don't have the choice! Your wound might get infected... God knows where you hurt yourself, maybe it was on the beach...

Candy looked at him. She was in too much pain to argue with him. She started to take her dress off. Terry turned around. She wasn't wearing a bra... She put on the jersey. She was sulking, she was in pain, she felt humiliated. When she was done, Terry carried her to the infirmary.

- I can walk..., she tried.

- Shut your yap!

- How dare you?

- How dare I? We're in boarding school! We have the weekend free to go out, but no, you have to sneak out on a school night! Have too much sex on the beach, get yourself cut by Gods knows what, get in the wrong dorm, disturb my sleep, knock me over, stain my carpet! I think I've earned the right to ask you to shut up, Lady Candy!

Candy looked at him, Terry sounded jealous...

- Nobody talks to me like that...

- Maybe they should've! You're nothing but a spoiled brat!

- Golly, I'm sorry for interrupting the slumber of his Royal Highness!

- I think you go me confused with your Eurotrash prince

- Not a chance! My Eurotrash prince, like you call them would never talk to me the way you did.

- That's because they have to be on your good side to get your favours.

Candy was in his arms, but she slapped him hard., again and again.

- Put me down you ill mannered lout! I don't need to take insults from you! Put me down! I said!

As they arrived to the infirmary, the nun, who was a nurse heard them and opened the door. Terry was struggling to get her inside on the bed.

- Would you stop it! He said, you little beast!

- Put me down I said!

Terry arrived on top of the bed and practically dropped her on it. She fell on her hurt leg. But she would rather die, than show tears of pain. But it was no use, the tears were coming down by itself, tears of pain, tears of rage, tears of anger...

Terry looked at her pearling eyes.

- What now you're sad? Oh cry me a river!

- Get out! Said Candy and don't come back!

- I'm out don't worry if I see you again it would be too soon!

The nun looked at the scene speechless. Terry left the infirmary to go back to his room.

- Lady Candy? Said the nun.

- I have a cut on my leg, she said.

- How did it happen?

- I was sleepwalking and I knocked over a vase in my bed room and hurt myself...

The nurse put her hand on her forehead.

- You're burning with fever, she said.

- Am I? I was hot, but I thought it was being in the arms of a hot ill mannered American boy...

- Your father will need to be notified...

- Great...

- And we need to take you to the hospital, I'm not a doctor, you need medication for your fever and a tetanus shot for that cut...

- A buster shot? Lucky me! Do you think they could give me something for the pain too?

- I have Paracetamol...

- That's not strong enough...

- You can ask the hospital for something stronger, you're going to need some stitches, they will definitely give you something, come on princess, let's go...
