Life Is Challenging (RE-MASTERED)

Chapter 7: Unspoken bond

  I remember how Warren found me in the bathroom. How broken I was earlier this morning.
         
       I jolt awake in my bed and look at my arm, there's white wrapping on it as I wince and see the blood soaked through it and and realized what I did.  I get a phone call and answer it:
   
      J:Hello?
     C: Jimmy, babe, open the door.  Let me iiiiiiiiiiiiin.
      J: give me a second to get dressed and I'll let you in. 
    
        I hang up and put on my Guitar Hero Pajamas, and a long sleeve shirt from my closet.  I carefully make sure the wrapping stays secure while I put the left sleeve of the shirt down.  I don't want her to know just yet.

       I open the door with a smile and she bear hugs me. "Jimmy!!! I hella love you babe, are you ready for a hella awesome day planned by moi?" She says with a grin. 
    
        "Hmm a fun filled day with the wonderful Chloe Price.... or a day with some comics.... decisions decissions." I say teasingly as she glares at me and punches my arm.
     
       "Don't get Smart with me, you ass.  I'll own your ass."
   
        "Don't you already own me? How's that different than now." I laugh and she just shakes her head.
     
       "You're killing me smalls well, first things first, we are gonna have lunch at Two Whales, then after that we are going to the junkyard to chill and smoke.  After that we are gonna head to the lighthouse and make out." She winks at me as I pull her in and kiss her hard and pull away, as she's pouting I put on some shorts and head out pulling her closely behind me.

     "Oh... hey Jimmy." Warren pops his head out and sees us. 

      "Hey Warren, we still gonna game tonight? We have just a couple of days left until breaks over."

      "Sure man, so um how's your problem?" 

       "Ixnay oblempre, ArrenWay" I make two glances towards Chloe who is oblivious to the convo right now. "We will talk about that later." 

       "Oh.. yeah okay well, see ya. If you see Max tell her to come see me would ya?"
     
  "Sure thing man."  I assured him. "Let's go Chloe, lunch time!"

        I climb into Chloes truck and pull out a cigarette and light up, I inhale deeply as the nicotine takes the pain away if even for a minute.  "Got one for your favorite girl?" Chloe smiles at me and winks.  I have no choice but to let her have one.  As she starts up the truck I ask, "Chloe, what was your last relationship like?"

       The air chilled about 6 degrees and I realized I shouldn't have touched that subject yet.  "She. She was a strawberry blonde firecracker.  I loved her you know, we never officially broke up, she just.... dissapeared. It's been over half a year now and I still miss her everyday, her name was Rachel Amber."  I lean over and hug her, "I'm so sorry babe, maybe she'll come back, I could never imagine running away from you, or if you'd even let me get far enough away." My joke made her crack a smile.
   
   "Nope, you wouldn't be able to make it 10 feet before you'd want your 'Bluenette Goddess' back." she winks and tosses me my phone. 
    "I sorta swiped it when you were talking to Warren."  I turn 50 shades of red.  "Uhhhh yeah, about that. I probably should have told you about your nickname in my phone." I say with a grin.
     
      We arrive at the diner and as I open the door for Chloe, I walk in and see Nathan sitting with a no good bitch, Victoria Chase.

       "You come here to fuck with me Carswell? I'll end you man, right here and now." Prescott says as he tries to be cool in front of Victoria. 
  
     "Yeah, and tell your little blue haired slut not to even breathe in our direction.  Also, the little nickname you gave me, you'll pay for that."
     
  I look over at Chloe and as much as I would love to see a cat fight, I know it would not end well if Chloe got her hands on Victoria. "Come on babe, let's go."  I have to drag Chloe away from their table and make her calm down.  We sit at the booth we sat in my very first day in Arcadia Bay.  "Chloe please don't look at me like that, you know what Nathan is capable of.  I'd rather not risk getting expelled."
