Something In The Way

Dave's Point of View

I walked into the basement to join Krist and Kurt from practice. Krist was sitting on the couch reading a newspaper while Kurt was tuning his guitar. I walked over and sat behind my drums. As soon as my ass hit the stool Krist stood up.

"Dave you shouldn't waste your time with Britt. She's too emotionally fucked up. That night really screwed her up," Krist said to me as Kurt looked over.

"Krist we told her we'd support her. What the fuck are you doing?" Kurt asked him.

"I don't want her hurt. She's one of my best friends. I don't want her to go back to being the quiet girl who never spoke and who winced everytime someone came near her," Krist responded.

"Look I'm not going to hurt her. She didn't fucking deserve what happened to her. Nt that night and not with her parents. I really want to get to know her and be there for her. If she wants me then I'm not leaving her side til she tells me to fuck off. You can be as pissed off as you want but I like her alot," I said in response to what Krist said. Kurt and Krist both stared at me.

"That's good enough for me. Krist?" Kurt said and turned to look at Krist who was picking up his bass.

"You ever hurt her and I will hurt you," Krist said as he looked at me.

"Deal," I responded.

"Great now let's fucking practice before she gets back with lunch," Kurt said.

2 Hours Later

"I'm starving," Kurt said as he put his guitar down. He walked voer tot eh couch and sat down.

"I hope she comes back soon. She should have been back like an hour ago," Krist said as he too sat down on the couch. I walked over and stood in front of them.

"Well she did say she was going grocery shopping then shopping shopping," I chimed in.

"I hope Courtney shows up soon," Kurt said as he lit a smoke.

"Courtney's coming?" Krist asked, with a weird look on his face.

"I told her I'd be here with you clowns," Kurt replied. I let of a short small laugh in response.

"I think I hear a car," Krist said as he perked up a bit.

"I'll go check it out," I said as I started up the stairs. When I got upstairs, I headed tot he front door. I opened it and saw Brittany and Courtney walking up to the house holding grocery bags.

Brittany's Point Of View

I pulled up outside the hosue and turned the car off. Courtney and I got out of the car and grabbed three bags of groceries each. We where walkign up the walk way when Dave opened the door.

"They're here," he yelled into the house before coming up to me and taking one of the bags. He also took a bag from Courtney as she passed him. We walked into the house as Kurt and Krist came upstairs.

"I'll take those for you Brit," Krist said as he grabbed the bags from em and headed to the kitchen.

"Thanks Krist," I said and headed back outside. I walked down to my car, opened the back passenger door and reached over for my dress. I got out of the car, closed the door and turned around to see Dave coming back outside.

"Was wondering where you disappeared to," he said as he walked up to me.

"Had to get my dress for this date I got tonight," I responded as he stopped in front of me. He put his hands on the roof of the car on either side of me so I couldn't get away.
