Oh Marcel

Chapter 36

We decided to stay on the roof a little longer. Nothing really happened.  She went on her computer and added on to her book.  She took ideas from her gross journal and turned them into a whole story.  After that I decided to leave my car in the parking lot and we took Scarlett's truck out on a undifined adventure.  I sat in the drivers seat and I had absolutly no idea where we were and where we were going.  She blasted the music on her phone.  The first song was Let It Go from Frozen. 

" Really," I said. 

" Well yeah.  Its Disney so its like amazing, duh," after explaining she attempted to sing the chorus. 

" Let it go, let it go can't hold it back anymore!" She screamed.  

" Your so sad!" I screamed over the music. 

" Oh shut up you love me," she said as she turned down the music. 

A half smile spread across me face. " Hey I'm going to pull over." 

" But no I-" I looked at her with puppy dog eyes. " Uhg fine."  

I went to the side of the dirty dusty road.  There really wasn't a reason to pull over, but I guess just to be safe I did.  We both unbuckled our seat belts.  She turned towards me with her legs criss- crossed.  I reached into my pocket and pulled out a really small box. It was wrapped in happy birthday wrapping paper.  On top was a small pink bow.  I set it down right infront of her tan legs. 

" Marcel you didn't have to get me anything." 

" Yes I did.  Your first my best friend and your birthday was yesterday.  Plus I guess this makes up for the shitty-ness that was last night," I said quietly. 

" Not all of it was shit.  Just the parts with Tom." 

" Ha okay now I think at this point your obligated to open it." 

She shrugged her shoulders and picked the small present up with her long fingers.  It layed in one hand while she gently picked off the bow.  She unwrappened it type by type.  Then laid in her hands was a small little velvet box.  She gasped and looked at me.  Then with one hand opened it up slowly was a neckless.  The neckless was a The Fault in Our Stars book cover.  It had a siliver chain.  She set it down infront of her and covered her mouth. 

" Oh Marcel..."  She quickly put it on the dashboard infront of her.  She then leapt on to me and kissed me.  Her hands were on my neck and my hands rested on her hips.  We kissed for quite a long time.  Then we looked at each other.  A smile crept along her face.  And I understood what we both wanted.  She hopped back in the passagers seat, but didn't bother to put on her seat belt.  She grabbed the box and looked at the costom made neckless.  

I drove down the dirt path till I found out where we were. And actully we werent that far away from my house.  About fifteen minutes later we were on my street.  I recongized each house.  I finally new who lived in each one.  Most of them were old people or young parents that weren't that friendly.  I pulled into my driveway and no there were no cars in the drive way.  I looked at her.  She nodded her head and smiled.  She then jumped out of the truck and raced inside.  She sat down on the couch and I turned on the TV.  I walked over towards the X Box and threw in our favorite movie.   Toy Story 2. I plopped down right besides her and we were sitting really close.  It was Sunday mourning and I haven't seen my mum in ages.  I actully thought I was living on my own for a few days.  We were half way through the movie.  Scarlett's head was resting on my lap and after a while of feeling awkward everything felt normal. Then a women with her hair down and wearing a pant suit came angirly through the door. 

" Arg that man is just...!" she slammed her purse on the kitchen tabel. " Oh hi kids sorry about that."  Scarlett sat up and then rested her head on my shoulder.  " You know what after the movie..." she trailed off, she nodded her head and Scarlett nodded her head as if to say 'yes I understand.'  She hopped up the stairs and Scarlett's head remaind on my shoulder.  

AFTER THE MOVIE  

Scarlett went home and she got a text from her mum saying she was sad and had to talk.  I honestly felt bad for her because Scarlett's only true adult friend was my mum and she at the moment was going through almost the exact same thing. Before she left the house I walked her out.  I grabbed her waist and held it tightly in my arms.  She looked slightly up at me and I bended my head down just slightly.  Our mouths touched and I could feel a smile across her face.  Her arms we around my neck.  We pulled apart slowly and our foreheads touched,  We stayed their for a moment embracing.  I didn't want to let go, but eventully her body moved away and it was in her truck on her way to her house.  

I walked up the staircase and my mum was laying on her big queen sized bed.  She had very many layers of pillows that rested behind her back and the back of her head.  Their was a noise coming from her laptop, I asumed she was watching TV.  

" Um is everything alright?" I asked as I sat on the edge of the comfortable bed.  

" I always knew it was her.  I mean you've known her long enough.  Love just be careful-" 

" Mum  I know what your doing.  I know I haven't had many girlfriends but I'm perfectly capable of having her," I said graduatly raising her voice. 

" Shhh I just want to talk.  Just... I don't quite know how to talk about this, but just to cut to the chase don't get her pregnat." 

" Oh mygod.  Okay that seriously is, just no not...okay I'm going to go," I got up and headed out the door when I was interupted. 

" Marcel I think your forgetting somthing that belongs in the driveway?" 

" Mum would you drive-" 

" Of course." 

ON THE ROAD

I decided to drive because I didn't want to give directions.  Plus my mum knows I absolutly suck at passenger seat driving.  By now I had the route carved into my memory.  We didn't talk that much in a long time.  

" Why do you like her.  Like why now.  Why ever." 

The question took a while because quite honestly I didn't know why I liked her.  " I guess she just has that gen a se qua to her.  I well we have so many memories and I actully didn't want to like her but I guess it just..." 

" Marcel I was talking to your father... and um he told me he's moving," my mum told me and I was shocked. " He's moving to California in the states when school comes out and he wanted to know if you wanted to live with him." 

" Mum I can't I live him.  I always have..." 

" Love your turning eighteen and you haven't seen outside Holms Chapel.  Just think about it you never know what you'll find somewhere else,"  After that thought we just stared at the open road.  The sun was still shining.  I turned down a few streets and up a few hills when I saw the little old rundown bulding.  I turned the corner and the car was in the dusty dirty parking lot.  The car came to a complete stop and I opened up the car door.  

" This is your  'meeting place' now?" she questioned. 

" Well yeah.  I mean it made sense the people that attended the first meeting wern't normal and still are not normal.  And as you can tell its not really a normal resturant so why should we meet anywhere else?" I questioned 

" Huh my son.  My very own son is getting very wise.  Okay well go get your car this place frightens  me."  I jumped out of the car and made my way home.   

When I got home with my OWN car.  I ate random food because I had to finish To Kill a Mokingbird before Monday morning.  I read till I could see the words wave.  I closed my eyes and pictured Scarlett.  I saw her without clothes.  I could see every curve.  Every birthmark that she was embarrased to see.  I could feel her against me.  I could feel her perfect smooth skin on mine.  She was flawless no matter what imperfection she had.  She was mine.
