Gotta Love Those Hyper Emo Kids: Chapter 3- That Was Unexpected

Chapter 3

"Hey knock it off or I'm calling the cops!" He yelled. They let go of Hood Guy and he started walking away. Dan was leaning against the wall hold his arm. As hood Guy walked by me he whispered.

"Call me." Then he handed me a piece of paper. I shook my head and ran over to Dan. His lip was bleeding. Funny I didn't even notice that he had been punched.

"Come on. We'll go back to my house and I'll help you clean up." I grabbed his hand and led him out. "We'll see you guys tomorrow! Bye!" I yelled over my shoulder. They all yelled bye after us. McDonalds wasn't too far from my house so we only had to walk for maybe ten minutes. When we got to my house it took a while for me to figure out what key went to where. When did I get so many fucking keys anyway?!

We got into the house and I led him into the kitchen. I wetted a towel and jumped up onto the counter so I could reach his lip. I wasn't that short, but it was a lot easier.

"Kerry you don't have to do this," Dan whispered. I pulled back from where I was wiping blood of his chin. He looked...sad? There was something that I couldn't understand, some kind of emotion behind those eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked. He just shook his head and touched his lip. It was already swelling and he winced when he pushed on it. I pulled his hand down from his face. "What is it?" I asked again.

"It doesn't matter." He shook his head and leaned out of my reach. I looked at him curiously and grabbed his hair. I brought him back to where I could reach and started wiping the blood off his lip. He stared at me while I did it. I was getting really uncomfortable with that stare.

"What?" I asked finally frustrated enough to speak. He started leaning into me and closed his eyes. I froze. What the hell? He was so close that I could feel his breath on my lips. It was such a short distance between us that if I wanted to I could probably knock him out if I head butted him hard enough. He stopped and opened his eyes.

I never realized how beautiful his eyes were. They were such a deep blue that they almost looked green...and why was he this close? What is he thinking? I mean I've always liked him, how couldn't you?! But I decided a long time ago that I would never date him so it didn't ruin our friendship. He closed his eyes and sighed. I really really wanted him to kiss me now. The smell of mint breath was really tempting, but he leaned away.

"I'm sorry Kerry...I promise it will never happen again." He said quietly and looked at the ground. I grabbed his hand and jumped off the counter.

"It's okay Dan. It's not a big deal. I won't think about it anymore or anything." I said and hugged him.

"That's just the thing!" he yelled and pushed me away. "I want you to think about it! I want to be able to kiss you anytime I want! I want to be able to do this!" He crushed his lips to mine then pulled away. What is he on?! "I want everyone to know we're together! I'm tired of pretending I'm not in love with you Kerry!" He yelled and grabbed my shoulders. I stood there shocked. He loved me? I stared at him like he was insane.

"W-what?" I asked.

"Kerry..." he trailed off and tried reaching out to me.

I ran away. I left my best friend standing in my house with blood still covering his chin and I just ran.

"Kerry come back!" I heard him yell after me. I ran down the road and went to a park across the street. I was breathing heavily and I went to sit in a swing. What was I going to do? I could go with Dan, I liked him and everything, but what if it ended badly? What would the band do? Would he be faithful to me? He was a little loose...but he said he loved me so that means he wouldn't right? Oh this was so confusing.

"Kerry. Please don't run again. This is killing me." I heard Dan behind me. I sat still and he came and kneeled in front of me. There were tears in his eyes and running down his face. I've never seen him cry before. Even through all the drama that happened today he was still my best friend. I had to comfort him. It was my job.

"Dan I'm so sorry!" I yelled and tackled him. We layed on the ground hugging and he cried into my shoulder. "I'm sorry I ran away Dan," I said "I'm sorry." I started tearing up and I kissed his head.

"Kerry, I love you. Please will you just give me a chance?" He cried and clung onto me. I sat there. I have never and I mean never seen Dan beg for anyone. If he wanted anything normally he had other ways of getting it. It was kind of...sad. It wouldn't hurt to just give it a try...Let it last a few months? It would be okay after I broke up with him then.

"Dan...We can't. We have the future of the band to think about." I said and he looked up at me. "I like you, I do, but I just don't think we can do that..."

"I know it won't get in the way of the band! We can make it work out, I know we can." He looked so sad...Oh the hell with it! I'm tired of seeing my best friend so desperate. I sighed knowing I was going to regret this later.

"Fine," I said and looked at him. He grabbed my hand and spun me around in a circle. "Dan what the hell are you bipolar?!" I yelled frustrated.

"Nope just in love with the greatest chick in the world!" He laughed and kissed me. It was like kissing a furnace. There was only fire and heat. Nothing in between that and when it touched your lips you knew it was going to leave you scarred. Not that I didn't feel butterflies.

"Stop," I sighed. "Way too fast."

"Okay." He smiled and took my hand. We were walking back to the house, just walking and swinging our hands between us like we normally do, when I felt like I smashed into a wall. I was knocked flat onto my ass and when I looked up Hood Guy was there.

"I'm so- wait no I'm not." He said coldly when he looked at Dan trying to help me up.

"You better apologize to my girlfriend right now or I'll-"

"Or you'll what? You're just a stupid emo fag, both of you. Now if you'll excuse me." He spat and walked off to where a chick was standing. It was Stacey. She smirked and went up and crammed her tongue down his throat. Dan grabbed my hand and we continued walking to my house. I didn't feel jealousy over Stacey. Why would I? She was one of those girls that were one-night stands.

But Hood Guy? He was never like that before the McDonalds incident, so what made him change? Or was this how he really was and I just never got informed of it? I would be happy with Dan now. Cause I knew that the person that I might've had a thing for, turned out to be another arrogant, hating, bastard.

"Kerry?" Dan asked.

"Yeah?" I smiled at him.

"Are you a virgin?"

Well that was unexpected.
