We sat leaning against the fence, introducing ourselves to each other. He quietly sipped on some liquor while I rested my head on his shoulder. I apologised for my slap but did say that he sounded like an arrogant jerk. He just smirked playfully.
My eyes began to close sleepily but I force them to stay awake. Eventually, my head fell on his shoulder, my eyes where still lazily awake.
Suddenly, I saw a person running towards us, waving their hand at us. They also had another person behind them. I decide not to do anything meanwhile, but as the figures got closer I realise who they are.
Rick.
I move my head off of Zach's shoulder and squint to see him properly.
"Kerry? What's wrong? Tell me," Zach insists
"Rick." The words come out slow and uncertain. Clumsily, I push myself off of the ground so I can go and find out what's happened with Rick.
As I walk closer to Rick, I am able to make out the person behind Rick. I see long brown/blonde hair flowing in the wind and a hand hooked to Rick's wrist. Then a highpitched laugh erupts from the girl and I know who it is.
Clarissa. Out of all girls, Clarissa.
I am furious with Rick when I realise he has been spending 3 hours with her and not me, I came to this damned party for him! My hands begin to curl into fists as I try to control my anger. Zach comes from behind and wraps his arms around my waist to calm me down. "Oh my God," I feel like shooting something several times, I am so angry.
As Rick gets closer I see his smile fade away from his joyful expression and turns into and evil glare. Quickly, I spin my head to face Zach and tell him he has to leave now.
"What! Why? I want to met this Rick guy," Zach sounds so innocent, but God knows what Rick is going to do to him.
"No. You don't understand what Rick's going to do to you!" By now I am practically begging for him to leave.
But it's too late.
"Hey Kerry. Where have you been?" We are only metres apart now and the panic is kicking in.
"Umm, where have you been Rick? I've been looking for you but you never showed up," I answer nervously.
"You're the one who let go of my hand, I saw Clarissa and we started to hang out."
"Yeah, I can see that," I eye Clarissa evilly while she stands behind, holding his arm likes she's lost puppy or something.
"Anyway, what are you doing out here with him, I mean Zach," I watch him as Rick looks Zach up and down. Then he sees Zach's arms around me. "What's he doing with his arms around you!?" Rick points at us, he is acting like he's my parent. Now I'm really ticked off.
"What's it to you. Your the one who left her abonded at this messed party." Zach speaks up, defending me. I am in shock as he says them words and wait for the worst.
"What!! I don't know who do you think you are showing up randomly and using Kerry as your girlfriend, but you better leave before things get messy. Now." Rick's words scare me but don't seem to scare Zach.
"Rick!! What's your problem? Can't you see I'm happy?" Rick gives me one look and turns back to Zach. Slowly, Rick begins to move forward, Clarissa let's go of him and just watches what happens. Zach and I don't move one step, but he lets go of me.
"I am not leaving, you ignorant cow," I move away from Zach and stare wide-eyed at the horrible situation.
"What did you call me!?" And with that comes a great push from Rick to Zach, although Zach manages to keep his balance. A fist comes flying at Rick making his nose bleed, he is sent to the ground in a mess but still gets up."You call that a punch, you little son of a b-." Rick is unable to finish his curse as crowds begin to chant fight, fight, fight! By now we are surrond by drunk, no-good people who enjoy a good fight whatever the cause. In rage, Rick jumps on Zach pounding him with his fist as Zach tries to defend him self. A member of the crowd throws the empty glass bottle, (You know the one I was holding earlier to defend my self from 'the creep'), at the fight and laughs. I glare at the stupid boy, I don't think he realises what he has done.
Watching them fight is unbearable, I could feel tears running down my cheek and tasting the salty, bitter water. I wanted to go and stop them but I was too scared of the consequences, all I could do was stand idle in pain. My head began throbbing and I feel as if I was going to drop. Then, as I watched Rick take the bottle, thrown by the idiotic gentlemen, and aim at Zach, Zach quickly grabs Rick's hand and twists it as far as he can. A scream rips from Rick as he holds his arm in agony, leaving Zach breathing heavily.
Beside me, Clarissa takes out her phone and calls someone. People start to walk away and find something more entertaining to do when the theres nothing happening anymore. Sirens and flashing lights fill the streets but they don't come to us, the place is now empty. Zach backs away from Rick, who is still on the ground screaming for help. Even Clarissa is walking away, probably getting picked up by someone.
Hopelessly I look to Zach as if to ask him what should we do, he beckons me over awkwardly. "We should probably get him to a doctor, I'll get the car and you get him ready." I do as I am told and walk over to Rick.
"Kerry I'm so sorry..." He tells me.
"Just shut up. Both of you are idiots, I'm glad you're still alive. You beat each other like wild animals," I snap.
I struggle trying to lift him up without hurting his arm. We walk through the messy garden, into the house, out from the front door and into Zach's BMW. Rick sat at the back while I sat in the front, next to Zach. It was a silent, awkward ride to the hospital, I slowly fell asleep during the long drive. For a moment, I thought about everything my dad had said and realise he was right.
