Bullied (A Tal Fishman Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

When the movie was over, Tal gently slid me off of him and got up to change the movie.  

"Are we finally going to watch one of the movies you deem a good movie?"  I asked him as he finished switching out the movies.

"Yes we are.  This is one of the bad good ones."

"The bad good ones?  I don't think that's how you say that?"

"It is now.  Thank goodness I have the best movie of all time with me in this suitcase."

"I never did you ask you this, but why DO you have a whole suitcase of movies with you?"

"I knew we weren't going to be leaving the apartment for fear of someone seeing us unless we ran out of food or got really claustrophobic, so I packed enough movies to keep us busy and not bored out of our minds.  Although, movies can get pretty boring sometimes."

"Not for me.  I've seen one other movie than the ones you played for me."

"Which is really sad if you think about it."  He said, slipping back underneath me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"It's not entirely my fault."

"I know, and I'm sorry I was the cause of it.  Now though, I'm gonna make sure I make up for all those years of friendship and movies you've missed."

"That may take a while."

"I know, that's why I'm starting now."

"Tal, what if Allison finds us?  What will she do?"

"I don't want to tell you that because then you'd be worried.  I don't want you to worry.  Think of this like a mini vacation."

"Mini? How is this a mini vacation.?"

"You know when I was gone from school for a month or so?"

"Yeah.  I didn't get bullied as much and it was quite peaceful."

"I'm gonna pretend I didn't just hear that, but my family and I went on a vacation to Florida.  We went on a cruise for 2 weeks and stayed in Florida the other 2 before we headed back home."

"Well, the Cooper's never brought me with on their vacations.  They always made me stay and forced me to go to school even when I was sick.  Their daughters could stay home just because they didn't feel like going to school, but if I had gotten a serious disease, they would still make me go to school."

"Imagine how they'll react when they find out about this."

"By then, I'll be moved out or have run away."

"I'll run away with you."  

"You already did."  I said, laughing.  I paused for a moment when I could feel a deep rumble in his chest before his laugh escaped his lips.

"What?"  He asked as he stopped laughing and went still as a statue..his whole body but his head which was frantically scanning our surroundings or what may have startled me.

"Nothing, it's just that I can FEEL when you laugh, not just hear you."

"You scared the death out of me."

"Obviously not since you're still talking and moving."  I started laughing again, waiting for him to laugh again.  He did, and I felt the same deep rumble in his chest before, only this time it felt even more thrilling.  

"Was the movie really not on this whole time?"

"What do you mean?"

"There's been commercials for the past 20 minutes since the main menu is just showing up."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah.  They must have known it was going to be a good movie so they added a bunch of commercials for different movies and shows coming out soon."

"I guess so.  Although, I wonder how much the companies had to pay to be in a commercial for a movie that was highly likely to do well in profits."

"Probably millions."

"That's a lot of money.  I don't get why people always want money.  So what you get things, but you don't get any real friends, and trust me, life without friends or anyone to talk to or just hang out with really sucks.  You can't buy friends, and if you can, they aren't a true friend and are just in it for the money.  That's not how friendships should form."

"You should write a book."

"About what?"

"Life.  A bunch of meaningful quotes and stories.  You could help a lot of people get through tough situations."

"That might be a good idea...if I were actually good at writing."

"I've seen your essays.  You're an amazing writer."

"You think so?"

"Yes, and you should write a book.  For now though, let's just watch the movie you're about to miss the beginning of."

"ok."  I snuggled deeper into his chest and watched the movie.  Should I write a book?
