Eli's POV:
After that, he drove me home. We talked about miscellaneous things. Like my guitar playing and his singing, the music we liked, sports, how he's adopted, and his niece.. He talked a lot about her. I wonder why..
"Damien, why do you talk about your niece so much?" I looked over at him. His face was like stone, his eyes... Sadness shadowed them as he gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"Damien..?" I pried. I wanted to know.
"I talk about her because.. "
"Because why?" I REALLY wanted to know.
"Because she has cancer and will die soon.."
The rest of the ride was silent.
*************************************
He dropped me off at home. I walked inside to my mother screaming at me.. "Where have you been?! What have you been doing?! Who was that boy?! Did you have sex?! Did you do drugs?!"
"Mother, no. I was selling those stupid coupon books and he's from school. So he helped me sell some and drove me home." I lied.
"Oh~ Okay. Well, I'm going out tonight so.. I'm going to send Dicky over here to babysit you."
"WHAT!" Doesn't she know I date him? Well, we've been friends forever... Ever since we were kids.. Maybe she doesn't suspect it.. Oh well, it'll be fine, right?..
"Yeah, I need my little girl to be protected." The door bell rang. "And that should be him!" She smiled and grabbed her purse. She opened the door eagerly.
"Hi, Dicky! Bye, Dicky! Take care of Eli!" Annnnnnd.. She's gone!
He looked troubled.. Uh oh. "Dick... What's wrong?"
He looked up at me. Mad but depressed.. I wonder what happened..
"I saw you today, Eli.. With another guy, laughing and holding hands.. Why do you think I'm pissed and hurt?" OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT!
You see, I forgot the icecream place was across from his work.. I'm. So. Dead.
"I, uhh..."
"You, nothing! How could you do this to me?! Cheat on me like that!" His screaming scared me. I didn't know what to do.. So I lied.
"Dick, he's my BEST FRIEND! Best friend's hold hands! Get over it! He was just dragging me somewhere like I was a toddler, picking on me bout my height! That's why I was laughing! So, quit freaking out! I didn't cheat on you!" Oh, but I did.
"Oh.. I'm sorry, Baby.. I didn't mean to yell at you.. I just over reacted.."
"Yeah! You did!" Bet he feels like a real DICK now. Haha, nice pun, Eli. Nice pun. I started giggling.
"What's so funny?" He looked like a scared bunny rabbit. I laughed some more. "WHAAAAT?!" He really wants to know?
"Hahaha, I was thinking.. You look like a terrified bunny." Hell no, I wasn't going to tell him the first thing I thought. He laughed, too.
"Hey, I'm off work tomorrow, so I'm going to help you sell those books."
WHAAAAT?! He can't! I was planning on seeing Damien tomorrow! No, no, no!!! But of course.. I didn't say that.
"Heh, okay.." I smiled fakely.
****The Next Day****
Damien's POV:
What. The. Fuck.
I saw Eli again, alright... WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Really? This is shit. I'm walking outside to greet her. I walked to the door, I was already dressed, and I walked outside to them.
"Hey, Eli!" I smiled and waved.
"O-oh hey, Damien.." She's stuttering. Then he talked to me. "Hey, man! What's up?" He was being nice? The fuck.
I shook his hand. "Aye, I haven't seen your face before. Who're you?" I grinned.
"Oh, I'm Dick." I stiffled a laugh, but his name is so funny! "And I'm Eli's boyfriend."
My smile faded and my heart broke to pieces...
Eli's POV:
Oh. My. God. Did he really just say that?
He said he had to do chores and we said bye and left. The look on his face was so.. foreign for him. He was so happy yesterday. Oh, and Dick? He's smiling so wide that I want to smack it off his face.
I looked at him angrily and practically hissed my words. "Why did you do that?" I gripped his hand so tight that it hurt him.
"Ow!" He screeched and pulled away. "Do what?!"
"He probably hates you now. What the fuck is your problem?!"
"Woah, woah, woah. We ARE dating. I just thought he should know."
"What the fuck, Dick?!"
"What's my problem? No. What's YOUR problem?! Ever since we had that fight last night you've been weird! And now you're getting mad because I told someone I was your boyfriend? Because I am!"
"Yeah, you're my boyfriend. Not my father. Quit acting so childish, jealous, and protective. It's a major turn off, you asshole!"
"Fine. Whatever. I'm leaving." He started walking away. I ran up to him and stopped him.
"No, I'm sorry.. Please don't go.. I love you." I pleaded.
"I love you too, Baby."
He kissed me..
