Chapter 8
"So Dagon, what's your favourite movie"
He looks at me like I've grown another head. He soon snaps out of his trance and smirks. He looks good when he smirks...
Wait, what!? Did I just call Dagon attractive? Dagon's smirk widens and I raise an eyebrow. "I know I'm attractive, but thanks for the compliment." he boasts. I narrow my eyes at Dagon at the same time Luke asks "Have you always had an ego that large?" Dagon nods at Luke's question. "At my old school, I had the biggest ego there and was the biggest player." he responds with a smirk. "This is just great! My three friends all have egos larger than my house!" I mutter under my breath. "If you must know, my favourite movie is Grease." Dagon blurts randomly.
"Guys why don't we watch Frozen?" Alec asks after Luke, Dagon and I return back to the living room. I burst out laughing while Luke and Dagon nod in agreement. Alec gets up and puts the disk into the machine.
*****
After watching Frozen, I stand and stretch my limbs. Of course, that was after I pushed all three boys off of me. During the movie, they all sat on me for punishment for recording them singing along to one of the songs.
Note to self- never record three teenage boys singing Disney songs.
"We should visit Sage. She will probably want to see us." I say. Luke, Alec and Dagon nod. I grab my keys and walk into the garage. I pressed the unlock button on the mini remote thingy and we piled into my Cadillac. "Let's play a game. One of us asks a question and everyone, including the poser of the question, answers." Alec suggests. Luke, Dagon and I nod in agreement yet, I can't shake the growing pit in my stomach. "I'll start. Are you a virgin?" Alec asks. All three boys shake their head. I freeze at the question, Alec knows my past, why'd he ask?
"Carrie, hurry up!!! We're going to be late!" I yell up the stairs at Carrie's house, which is right next door to my house.
It's so much fun to have your best friend live right next door to you. Especially if you are in my family... My family is messed up. "Calm down women, I'm coming!" Carrie yells back, right before she came wobbling down the stairs in her pink and sparkly 8 inch heels. Her ombré hair is lightly curled down the back of her short, puffy, pink dress. It's tight in the bust and a pink band with diamonds on it goes under her right breast and and onto her left shoulder. Her silver ring has pink sapphires weaving on and under it and her silver hoop earrings have little diamonds going around it.
"You look stunning!" I exclaim as she hooks her arm with mine. "Thanks! You look stunning as well!" she chirps. I have a short, strapless purple dress that has a purple ribbon around the waist. The bust is covered in little diamonds and is tight. Like to the point that it's slightly uncomfortable. My heels are purple, sparkly and 8 inches high and my blonde hair is curled and a bow made of my hair rests at the back of my head. Our earrings are the exact same and our rings only differ in colour. As we make our way down the street to the Ryders' Hallowe'en party, I can't shake the feeling something will go terribly wrong.
And man was I right...
I slowly shake my head in response to Alec's question. I see Luke's jaw clench in the rear-view mirror. Both boys blame themselves for what happened at that dammed party. I slam on the brakes, jerking us forward as someone runs a red light. The van looks oddly familiar... As I start going again, the game the boys and I were playing resumed. "This one is just for Kesi, what's your bra size?" Luke asks trying to forget the previous question. I roll my eyes before responding with "C-32." All three boys stare in disbelief at me before bursting into a fit of laughing. "Oh shut it! You've seen bigger." I mutter.
Once we reach the hospital, I've learned that Luke's had 2 girlfriends (Carrie and some bimbo), Alec's had one who he was completely in love with and Dagon's had one as well, that all three boys have almost gotten someone pregnant and that people think that Alec has an STD. It wouldn't surprise me if he did... Manwhore.
When we reach Sage's room, we stop laughing and an awkward silence falls over us. Being the first to move, I open the door and walk into the room. The sight in front of me is not what I expected. Sage and a boy around her age are watching a movie on a little portable DVD player. They are laughing at a scene in the film and they both look, well normal. Like two best friends that have known each other for years. But I then notice Sage has two IVs in her arms and the boy has no hair and an oxygen tube in his nose.
"Hey Sage." I greet. She jumps a bit before turning to me and starts crying. I immediately rush to the side of the bed and engulf her in a huge hug. I soon feel four arms wrap around me and Sage. I know it's Alec and Luke. After a minute or so, (It's hard to tell time when you are crying...) someone clears their throat behind our giant group hug. We reluctantly break apart and a doctor is at the door smiling at us. "Hello, I am Doctor Merit and I am here to give Sage her meds." She introduces herself. I stand and back away, smiling at the doctor. "I'm Cassandra. I'm Sage's older sister," I introduce "And these are our friends Alec, Luke and Dagon." Doctor Merit just nods as the boy gets up. "Bye Sage, I'll be back later!" he promises in a Russian accent.
After the doctor leaves, I sit on the end of Sage's bed with a raised eyebrow. "Who's the boy?" I ask. She blushes and ducks her head so I can't see her face. "His name's Viktor and he has lung cancer and his parents won't visit him and I became his friend." she mumbles. "Do I have to go all big brother on him?" Alec asks. Sage meekly shakes her head "He's just my friend." Alec rolls his eyes and makes a kissy face. Sage rolls her eyes and her eyelids droop. "Hey, we're going to leave now so you can sleep. We'll be back soon." I whisper before getting up to leave. "Sing." Sage mummers. I sit back down and start singing her favourite lullaby Au clair de la lune.
Au clair de la lune,
Mon ami Pierrot,
Prête-moi ta plume
Pour écrire un mot.
Ma chandelle est morte,
Je n'ai plus de feu.
Ouvre-moi ta porte
Pour l'amour de Dieu. »
Au clair de la lune,
Pierrot répondit :
« Je n'ai pas de plume,
Je suis dans mon lit.
Va chez la voisine,
Je crois qu'elle y est,
Car dans sa cuisine
On bat le briquet. »
Au clair de la lune,
L'aimable Lubin;
Frappe chez la brune,
Elle répond soudain :
-Qui frappe de la sorte ?
Il dit à son tour :
-Ouvrez votre porte,
Pour le Dieu d'Amour.
Au clair de la lune,
On n'y voit qu'un peu.
On chercha la plume,
On chercha du feu.
En cherchant d'la sorte,
Je n'sais c'qu'on trouva ;
Mais je sais qu'la porte
Sur eux se ferma.
A/N:
Here you go! Would you like a bag of chips with that?
This chapter was soooo hard to write. I could not focus for more than like 5 minutes.
The pic to the side are their dresses and stuff...
