Never Knew,I Needed A Hero

Best of the Past

1992

     I sat there with the guys and I absolutely beside myself. We were finally home things couldn't have been better. I knew we wouldn't be home for long but I was still happy for the break.

    "Claire?" Dave said gaining my attention from my thoughts.

    "Yeah?" I said turning to face him.

    "Kurt and Krist were going out tonight, I don't feel like going do you maube wanna hang here and watch movies?" He asked.

    "Sure I don't have anything to do." I stated with a smile.

     "Great." He said grinning.

     Kurt and Krist were walking towards the door and before they left they stopped to ask Dave if he wanted to go one more time.

    "Are you sure you don't wanna go?" Kurt asked.

    "Yeah I'm sure, go ahead guys. Claire and I were gonna watch movies anyway." He replied with a light grin.

     "Alright, well have fun." Krist said and they were out the door.

   Dave and I sat together in the living room and turned on some random movie not really caring what the fuck we were watching. It was nice to just truly relax in front of the televison and do nothing. I enjoyed myself more than I thought possible. Little did I know that would be one of my last happy days for a while. I never thought that my happiness could've been crushed so easily.   
  
    "Dave, you know one day this won't be our lives anymore." I said.

     "I know, that's why we enjoy it while we can." He said smiling like a damn fool.

      "Yeah." I said a little sigh escaping my lips.

    "You okay, where's this coming from?" Dave asked clearly concerned.
 
    "I'm fine really. I promise." I told him smiling lightly.

    "Alright, just don't scare the shit out of me like that." Dave said relaxing a little.

     "I'll try not to." I said grinning a little.

   We sat there and talked while the movie played. Neither of us paid much attention to the movie, not that we minded. We seemed more content with our conversation than I ever remember being with anybody.

     The movie turned out to be some romantic chick flick. Neither of us really liked the sappy movies. I was more interested in horror movies myself. I quite liked going to be slightly scared from the blood and gore on the T.V. screen.

    I liked the feeling of my heart racing due the events being portrayed in the screen. I like jumping slightly when the killer pops up out of no where. That and I liked watching weaker people get sick from the blood and guts everywhere. All of that combined was the reason I was such a horror movie fanatic. I'd watch almost any horror movie once because I could say for the most part nothing scared me. I could handle just about anything I decided to watch because I knew it was all actors and actresses getting paid to pretend to die. That made the whole idea seem corny.

     Before too long Kurt and Krist were stumbling through the door drunk and Dave and I thought here it goes again.
