After arriving late into Pennsylvania, I went straight to my friend Autumn's house to sneak in her front door and sleep on the couch. I had woken up by her mom telling me to get my dirty boots off her cream-colored couch and eat breakfast, almost as if I had never left in the first place. I had many texts from Riverdale friends, and I just send a mass text of "I'll be back soon" instead of typing the same thing over in many messages.
When Autumn and I had both showered and dressed, we decided to meet our friends at our usual meeting spot, on old abandoned church we turned into a hang out when we were around 13-15 years old.
I picked up a piece of pizza from the cardboard box and walked back over to one of the hammocks, jumping up to sit in it with Franny. "How's Riverdale?" I gave a shrug as I bit into the pizza. "It's alright I guess" "Anything exciting? Cute boys? Girls? Anything?" "The day before I headed down here, I got stabbed three times so that, there's a few cute ones but none really enjoy me so whatever" "How does someone not enjoy you" Tj asked as I grabbed a beer from a cooler.
I shrugged as I eyes my pizza, "I guess there's one who enjoys me, but not how I enjoy him" "What's his name?" "Nope" I said as I start to shove the rest of my pizza in my mouth. "No, hold on. What do you mean you enjoy each other differently?" Ryan asked as he looked at me with his brows knitted together. They waited until I finished my pizza off, "We're kind of friends with benefits. We only had sex once, we were going to again but then I got put in a hospital! But, I kind of like him, he makes me feel good when we're around each other, and I get butterflies and shit like that" I said with a shake of my head at the end.
"You can't fuck someone you like, Adelina!" Annie said loudly, and I sighed "But I did, and it was great, and I can't wait to get back and do it again" "When do you plan to go back?" Buttercup asked, playing with a strand of her light pink hair. "Two- three days?" I shrug a response as it quiets down for a bit, just the Bluetooth speaker playing music as a background noise, the occasional crack of someone opening a beer can or movements from where everybody lay.
It felt nice to be in a place where I knew these people inside and out, every single one of them. I was laying in the hammock with Franny, lightly swinging as we looked up at the ceiling tiles that we had painted as there was a sudden sniffling. My head lifted as I seen Buttercup wipe her eyes as Annie sat beside her, whispering into her ear as she held her. "What's wrong?" I asked while climbing out of the hammock. "I miss Evie" the youngest of the group cried out as she started to cry heavily.
I felt my chest tighten and I stopped walking, afraid I'd worsen the situation with my presence. "Buttercup, it's okay, calm down" Ryan said as he made his way over to the girls. "No, it's not! She's dead, Ryan!" "Exactly, she's dead and she isn't coming back! Get the fuck over it!" Tj screamed as he threw his beer at the wall behind our friends. "What the fuck is your problem, Tj!?" Justin screamed as he stood up and made his way over to him, just as Autumn got up and stood between them and started to scream at the two of them.
The church was filled with screaming and crying as I stood by, my chest pounding against my chest. "All that should fucking matter is Adelina made it out! Evie is gone, and that's just something we're going to have to fucking live with!" Tj screamed as he leaned over Autumn and gave Justin a shove. "Maybe she shouldn't have fucking lived then! She's a breathing reminder of one of the worst times in all our life's! We can't close the chapter, because she keeps fucking coming back to us!" he screamed back. I heard Buttercup wail and my head shot to them, noticing that she was crying much harder. "How could you fucking say that!? She's right fucking here, and she used to be the love of your fucking life!" "Fuck her, okay!? She's the reason Evie is fucking dead! Don't you get that!? She killed your little sister and all you do is defend her!" "She didn't fucking kill her!" "Yeah, she fucking did!" I felt my chest heave up and down as I ran over to grab my stuff from the table, and I ran out the front door towards my bike.
I could hear screaming as I left, but the bike next to me was getting started just as I headed out, but not before noticing it was Tj. We took off down the Philly streets, Tj signaling for me to pullover even though I didn't, not until he sped up in front of me and cut me off. "are you fucking crazy!?" I screamed as I came to a skidding halt. "You wouldn't fucking stop! Listen to me, Adelina! It's not your fault" "Yes, it is, so I'm going home! Where I won't be a bother to anybody" "No, you're not. Let's get to Xavier's and we'll hang out there, with all of them" he said, reminding me of the gang leader that we had met through.
I nodded after a minute, "Fine, let's get to the morgue" I said, as he nodded and turned his bike around, me close behind him. The morgue is what we called the hang out of the gang "Living Dead", X's gang.
