Just Greasers

Chapter Seven

My wrists were bound to the bed and I felt so exhausted. They undid the cuffs and I rubbed my wrists. I put on my clothes and checked the hallway. "We're clear." I said. We all walked down the halls nonchalantly. When we were in the clear we ran and hopped into the truck. We went to a gas station and I looked around nervously. "How do I look?" I asked. Lola handed me her makeup thingy with the mirror and I saw my pale face. My eyes were sunken in, my face was bony, and I hard dark eye bags. I handed it back and got out of the trunk. I kept my head down in shame as I walked to the counter to buy a hotdog. "Cheer up kid, smile a little." The man at the counter said. I looked up and I smiled a little. I went back and ate it but it's not like I can just go back that easy. Then I saw an angry dark guy walking towards the car. "Pepsi!" He yelled. "Listen man, I tried to kill myself my bad." I shrugged. His expression softened but I didn't want it to. He went back to his car and we left soon after. I went straight to bed and lied down. Lola came and lied in front of me. She kissed me and instead of doing more she hugged me. "Please Pepsi. We need you. Promise me you'll never do this again." She said. "I promise, for our kid." I smiled. While I was making promises I got an idea. I need to propose. "I gotta go." I said. "Where you going?" She asked. "To steal food." I muttered. I hitched a ride to the jewelry store and walked out after seeing the prices. I love Lola but shit dude. 20 bucks for a ring. I gotta rob a rich house. I went to the peddlers and slipped food into my pockets before buying a sack. I headed to the grocery store where I shoved cans of vegetables and fruit into it. I saw some steaks and shrugged. An employee spotted me and we stood there looking at each other. He started walking closer and I swung the bag into his head. I ran out as alarms sounded and I was able to jump onto a moving truck. When we got close to our neighborhood I jumped off at the stop sign. I put it on the table and panted. "You need to rest." Terry said. "I can't sit around Terry you know that." I protested. He sighed and began to make the steaks. It was 12:00 when I got out of bed. I stuffed a mask into my back pocket and took Terry's gun. I took a cab to the East side which was Soc country. I went to the largest house and surveyed it. I slowly lifted open a window and saw I was in Kathy Jefferson's room. She was the hottest girl in school. I saw a diamond necklace on her bed stand and pocketed it. I realized I had forgotten to put my mask on. I put it on just as she woke up. "Oh no." She said. I covered her mouth and lied her down. "You just be quiet." I said. She nodded and Her eyes went wide as she realized it was me. "Pepsi?" She asked. "Uh no that idiot is in the hospital for uh suicide." I lied. "Come on do me stud." She said. "Huh?" I asked. "I said do me." She said and kissed me roughly. I lifted her nightgown over her head and saw her body then I started getting wet out of nowhere. I woke up on the side of the road while it was raining. I was soaked. I must've passed out in front of the neighborhood. I went to a house for real this time and slipped through the window. I pocketed a gold bracelet and heard noises from the living room. I put on my mask and looked in the drawers. I found 50 dollars in cash in a wallet. I took it and almost started laughing at how easy this was. "Hold up lemme get something from my room." I heard footsteps. I hid in the wardrobe and Richard Thompson walked in muttering to himself. After he closed the door I popped out and pointed the gun at him. He was about to yell but I pistol whipped him and when he hit the ground I began banging the gun into his head. He was unrecognizable and bleeding heavily when I was done with him. I was exhausted from the activity and I opened the door. I picked up a vase and threw it at the girl on the couch. She started crying as I taped her mouth and she thought I was gonna deflower her before Richard could. Hah! I saw a guitar on the wall and smacked her with it before slinging it on my shoulder it was a sea foam free Stratocaster. I took the amp they had and kicked open the door. It was awkward with the amp and guitar but I made it out when a dog started barking. "Thief!" I heard. I continued running as lights came on and soon everyone saw me running with a pistol swinging from my hip. I ran straight out with guards chasing me. I heaved myself over  and he amp slammed into my chest. The wind was knocked out of me as I tried to get air. I don't think I'll be able to jump off. When we reached the stop sign closest to my neighborhood I got off and hobbled to my house. I put the stuff in my room and I lied next to Lola. "Where were you?" She asked. "Don't worry about it tomorrow you'll understand." I said. Early in the morning I bought the ring. An emerald and sapphire ring with a golden trim on a silver band. She'll love it. I had taken her shopping and she picked out a beautiful red dress got a tuxedo and took her to breakfast. We went to a place called IHOP it was just starting outwe spent the day at home tripping out and watching the twilight zone. When it was 9:00 we got Terry to drive us to a restaurant. We ordered our food and halfway through I began sweating. I pulled my tie and the waiter brought out two cheesecakes. I grasped my fork and ate it quickly. I have a quick grin before getting down on one knee. She dropped her fork and everyone looked over. "Will you Marry me?" I smiled. She nodded with tears in her eyes as everyone clapped. We finished our cheese cakes and Terry picked us up. I carried her up to the bedroom and lied her down gently. She pulled me down by my tie and I kissed her. "Then she stopped and looked ashamed. "Im hungry again." She whispered. "Let's go to Pinky's." I said. We crept downstairs past Terry and Ricky's room and stole the car. We were driving when Lola told me to stop the car. I pulled over to the shoulder and she looked in one direction. I looked that way and saw a lump in the grass. "Maybe its a dog." She smiled. We walked out and as we got closer my heart was beating as loud as drums. We were following a trail of blood as we got closer we saw small puddles. I sweated profusely. I saw a bloody torn up shoe and then I tripped over a bulge and looked at it. Johnny lay there half dead and bleeding. His eyes opened briefly and I saw they were bleeding. "Who did this?" I growled. "Richard Thom— he passed out and I dropped them off at the hospital. "Where are you going?" Lola asked. "Jail." I growled before going to a gas station. I went into the bathroom and broke off a pipe.

Then I took a deep breath as I went to Richard Thompson's house. I went to his door and knocked on it. He answered and I pulled him outside. If front of his mother and father and little brother and sister I slammed the pipe into his head until it split open then I broke his legs and broke their window. I threw the pipe at the dad's head and drove off. The security guards got in their cars and chased me as I drove through the gate arm. I parked the car in a parking lot and ran on foot into the woods. I picked up rocks and chucked them at police as I scampered up the hill. Suddenly my body went limp and I hit the deck hard. My body shook as they tried to catch up to me. It started to rain which made the hill slippery. I got up and struggled on. I threw a rock which cut an officer's forehead. They slipped and slid and I slid down into a tree. I knew that over the hill it was nothing but desert. I was caked in mud but managed to make it to the top. I slipped and tumbled down. I ran as fast as I could,behind me I could hear the sirens and gunshots as I continued running. I ran into a cactus and got pricks all over. I plucked them out and ran. I could now hear their footsteps. My body couldn't take it any more. I coughed, gasped and my legs buckled I clawed at my lungs which were straining for air. Then I got up and felt something similar to a baseball bat being slammed into my arm. I hit the ground and everything went black.
