Ghosts in the Closet

Chapter Ten~ A mess

Veronica

I had been trying to avoid the idea of seeing the man that just the name makes me paralyzed as much as possible. Which was pretty hard to do because you know,

HE KISSED REGINA GEORGE!

Ugh. Why is my life so god damn complicated right now? What's next, I'm gonna get a computer installed into my brain?
I get a text from my phone.

Funnylemon: Hey V, you k? You looked heartbroken today
Deadgirlwalking17: I'm fine.
Funnylemon: k

I'm glad I have such good friends.

Jared

After school I tried to call Evan....
No luck.
I tried to text him.
No luck.

I even fricken went to his house, and he acted like I wasn't even there! I must have really pissed him off for him to not see me!
It's evan for gods sakes! The one I've been training for years!

I text jeremy about this.

His exact words.

"He's an idiot who thinks that the squip is helping him. And you know what, the best thing we can do is wait till the Squip rips him up so badly he'll come crawling back to us. Take it from experience. But I'm not helping him."

Yeah so basically Jeremy is pissed at Evan, Evan is pissed at me, and I'm trying to get my thing back.

This is going so fricken well! Gah, cut me gently with a chainsaw while your at it!
That idiot. What is up with him and ruining his life. TWICE?!!! Well okay I ruined it this time but STILL.

Regina
I was kissing Dean! A hot guy! And Veronica saw! And I think she liked him...

It was the best night of my life (glad someone had fun there *eye roll*)

I was shopping with Heather M and Heather D.
"So is that guy, Dean, your boyfriend? Or Veronica's?" Heather Duke asked me. "I think he was Veronica's." I say with a smile forming.

That is so cruel.
Shut up!
Make me.

I grab the prettiest skirt and buy it.
As I walk out and get into my car, the only thought in my head was
Is this really worth it?

But I wasn't sure if that was talking about the skirt, or my Heathers satus.
I mean I didn't really care about him, but seeing that weird girls traumatized and scared face was kinda fun...

Well I'm a psycho-

Evan(screw you, Evan. You really have messed everything up, just kidding, I love you)

I was back to sitting with the two girls. Lisa was still slightly uncomfortable, but seemed to have mostly forgotten the party. I hadn't though. I was up thinking all night about it.

Compliment her shirt.

"Hey Max, I like your shirt" I say, trying my hardest not to stutter. "Thanks." She replies. I see Jeremy pass our table, with a slight glance. I feel the guilt rising back again.

'What If i ruined our brotherhood forever?' I think.

Don't worry, he'll like you when your finally normal.

"What's your favorite thing? Mines writing or reading!" Lisa shouts.

"She's a nerd I know. Mine is partying and singing." Max jokes.

"Um.." i say not knowing how to awnser.

'Should I say trees?'

No. That would make you seem weird. Say... baseball.
'Um ok.'

"Um... baseball." I lie through my teeth. In truth all I knew about baseball was there were four bases, a bat, and running. And a glove-

Oh hi guilt and regret where did you come from?

"Cool! We should go over to my house and watch some baseball!" Max exclaims.

You must accept.

"Ok!" I say, not actually wanting to spend hours watching boring sports. But hey, this is what I signed up for when I got that upgrade.

Once we get to Max's house, she introduces us to her brother, Daniel. He was 11.

"Hi! I'm Evan." I introduce myself.

'How was that?'
Amazing.
It pat my head and I filled up with pure obedient pleasure.

"I'm Daniel, i think I saw a friend of your with you at the party. Is he ok?" Daniel asks, concerned.

"Um... what friend?" I ask.

"I don't know. I saw you guys yelling. He had brown hair and glasses. He did something bad. But it's not my place to tell." The kid says.

It takes me a minute to regesture the discription, but as soon as I get it, my eyes widen.

"Now lets watch some baseball!" Max yells. "Yay,...." Lisa said, sounding misrable.

As soon as we were done I dashed to my house and called Jared.

NO SIGNAL.
I wouldn't do that.
Why not?

I felt a serge of energy flow through my spine.
"I thought you only did that with anxiety." I say.

Or disobedience.

'How do i turn you off! Wait....'

"Call Jeremy." "Hey. What do you want."

Jeremy said, saltly on the other side. "Look I know I screwed things up!" I say. Fuck fuck Nothing is worth Jared getting hurt. I am not worth as much as Jared-

"No shiz, sherlock."

"Hypothetically Does alcohol do anything to... computers?" I say, as I feel more electricity rise in my spine.

"Yes..." he said, sounding confused then understanding what I mean. I hang up and run into the house.

"Please dont tell me there's no alcohol in this house!" I say.
I open the cabinet and see...

Vodka.

"God, this is gonna hurt." I say and gulp down 2 cups. Thank you, horrible tolerance. I shudder, this was disgusting, how does anyone drink this for fun?

Then I hear and see the squip glitching out.
'Perfect.' Now I run to Jared's house.

I need t set things right.

And make sure my best friend was okay.
