Let's play Baseball boys

The next day it hit me like a big ass stack of bricks. I remembered what they did to me and they were both going to pay for it. I understood it completely well and I wasn't going to let it slip by like it was nothing. I knew not to trust that cunt Damien. Never trust a dumb man with a creep. New life motto. I jumped out of bed and grabbed nothing but a baseball bat. I headed over to Alex's house.

It took about 30 minutes to jog there, when I got there I let myself into his basement. He was asleep and so was Damien. I hit the baseball bat against the wall making a giant hole. I'm not going to pay for it. Both of them woke up in a startle and Alex had a look of confusion while Damien knew exactly what was going on.

"You little shit." I stomped over where Damien was frozen. I held the baseball bat to his chin. "I could bash your brains in if I wanted to."

"Please, I'm sorry it was a one time thing!"

"You will be!" I lifted the baseball bat and swung it at him, he got out of the way before I could hit him. I started to chase him up the stairs. Alex tackled him and dragged him down the stairs. He threw him on the ground and kicked him in the stomach hard. "I don't give a fuck what you did to me. But if you do that again I will fucking kill you. Do you understand?"

"Y.. Yes." Alex kicked him again as Damien spit up blood still curled up in a ball on the floor.

"Get the fuck out of my sight." Damien ran up the stairs and far away from Alex's house. "And you! You let him do that!"

"No I didn't! He threatened me!"

"You let that shit slide! God you're even MORE of an Idiot than I took you for. Jesus christ."

"He told me he would call the cops and get me arrested for my drugs!"

"What do you have weed?"

"Yeah a little."

"Idiot. ITS LEGAL IN THIS STATE"

"Not when you're a minor."

"WORST CASE YOU WOULD GET PUBLIC SERVICE HOURS!"

"STILL!"

"Fucking christ." I got so angry I almost swung the bat at his head too. I walked out before I killed someone. I never knew after millions of years of evolution that was what man looked like. Fuck I've got my work cut out for me.

The next week was quiet, Damien never showed his face at school, he was right to be scared of me. The entire week I thought about what would happen if he showed up at the school with his parents in to and a black eye. I was terrified of the thought of me being arrested for "attempted homicide" no, Damian would be an idiot to pull the alarm like that. He's a big boy he can take care of himself.

"Hey! Fuck! Slow down shit!" I was walking fast in the hallways.

"What" I replied blatantly to the call for attention coming from an idiots mouth.

"Jesus fuck you're fast."

"I need to get home, are you going to tell me something or not?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry about this weekend."

"Is that it?"

"I thought you wanted an apology, you've been skipping all of the classes we have together and I thought you were avoiding me"

"I'm trying my best dip shit." I spun around and started my way down the hallway at my appentely 'fast walk'. Who knew a jock could be so lazy.

"Hey hold on a minute!"

"What!"

"I wanna make it up to you. Let me buy you dinner or something."

"If you're gonna date rape me again I'm not interested."

"No I'm not I promise, I'll just buy you take out or something." How sweet, is that his idea for an apology of 'sorry my friend raped you'

"No thanks. I don't think dinner will bring me to forget it."

"I'm not meaning for it to. Please. Come on. I'll buy you shit, I'll kill him, just let me make it up!"

"I've gotta get home jokey."

"Let me drive you please."

"Stop saying please, okay!"We walked over to his car, I slipped in, I tried to stay as far away from the driver's seat as possible without being awkward about it. The drive was awkward, I passed Alex's ex who was kinda creepy, she walked alone and listened to music through her pink earbuds. She kinda has a sassy walk, like a little subtle skip in her step, her big ass hips almost swayed her entire body as she moved. She looked stupid. Maybe that's were alex got the low IQ. "Why are you staring at her."

"She has an oddly sassy walk. It looks stupid."

"She says she doesn't have a sassy walk."

"She is an idiot."

"That my friend is very true."

"Did i just get friend zoned?"

"What do you mean? I didn't-- oh I guess I did, haha."

"Idiot."

"Your idiot."

"No you friend zoned me remember?" Alex kinda chuckled a little bit and smirked his stupid smirk, fuck that smirk is gonna be the end of me. He pulled into my driveway, my mom was working on her RV she wanted to take with her on a camping trip with me and her drunk friends.

"What is she doing?"

"Drunk proofing."

"I see. Okay I'll see you later, don't forget about dinner."

"Tonight! I've gotta catch up on psychology!"

"That sounds like a personal issue baby. See ya!" Alex pulled away in his car and down the street where I couldn't see him anymore... Wait, did he call me baby?

"Idiot." I walked up my driveway passing my mom with her headphones in drunk proofing the RV. I looked behind me before entering to see Alex's ex walk into the house across the street. What the fuck? She lives there? No matter I'll never talk to her.

That night was quiet until 7pm. Alex's music filled car pulled into my driveway once again, he came through the door with 2 bags of chinese take out.

"Hungry?"

"Sure I can eat, what did you bring?"

"I told the lady to surprise me so we'll have to see."

"Jesus you are an idiot."

"I BROUGHT YOU FOOD!"

"Shut up." He put the bags on my desk as he pulled out 3 boxes full of smells that soon steamed out of the box after he opened them. The entire night was movies and the repetitive "i'm sorry" coming from Alex as we ate. Fucking hell he was annoying.
