Just Greasers

Chapter Eleven

Twas the night before I wed, when all through the house every creature was stirring. Even baby cousin Klaus.

I was telling Lola the rules, "Strippers are allowed but any contact and we would kill each other. Alex, Jackson, and I were heading to a hotel in Los Angeles to drink tons of whisky and drop acid. We were going to get blackout drunk and go crazy then watch a movie and jump a soc. We got to the Hotel where Jackson left to get the booze. I place as many tabs as I could on my tongue and by the time he came back I was flying. Alex and I were laughing hysterically for no reason. We brought a couple strippers up to make out in front of us and do weird shit. Then in a spite of drunken humor Alex dared me to strip and run down the halls. i took off all my clothes except for my converse. I opened the door and walked right into an old couple. I danced around them before running off. It wasn't long until the cops got involved. They lost me but a angry grandson tackled me into the pool. I got clobbered before I slammed a brick into the side of his head screamed some drunken slur of wisdom and ran off. I don't really remember much other than watching Alex and Jackson get off with the girls. I drank until I dropped and it seemed almost immediately that a loud alarm rang. It was broad daylight and I looked at the time. Oh crap. I woke everyone up we got dressed in our suits and did our last prank for the night. I lit the fuse to a roman candle and the fire works caught the curtain. It spread to the wooden nightstand and we decided to book it. We hurried through check out and hopped in the car. I spent the last few minutes I had getting ready. I was standing at the altar looking at my side and Lola's side. My head was hurting like hell. I was sweating waiting for Lola to walk down the aisle. Then an organ started up. The tune of here comes the bride filled the church and I smiled. I saw her being walked down the aisle by Terry. When she stood in her place I grinned and held her hands. To be honest I don't remember much of it. All I remember is that some song named Life Eternal was our song. We danced to it, I snuck out with Alex to drink a bottle of whiskey. I went back got some cake and food, wedding was over, then we were on our way to our honeymoon in Hollywood. The second we got to the hotel I wanted to just pass out. But of course I wasn't off the hook that easy. Lola had taken all of her clothes off and lied next to me. "Remember how we first met?" She asked. I nodded and thought back to that day in 1953 when I was just 12.

1953:

I was on my way to the pool with Alex. "You think any hot girls'll be there?" He wiggled his eyebrows. I shrugged and heard alot of people in the pool. "Sounds crowded." I said and turned the other way. He yanked me back and I sighed. "Dude everyone saw your dad whoop your ass a week ago everyone probably forgot about it. I put my towel over my head and went in. I saw this girl who's dad just dropped her off. They seemed to argue before he sped off. "Someone's got daddy issues." Alex whispered. I glared at him and saw she was walked away with tears in her eyes. "To hell with swimming." I sighed and jogged off to her. "Does anyone here remember when Pepsi got the shit kicked out of him?" I heard his yell. "Yeah." I heard multiple voices. God dammit Alex. I caught up with her and saw she was walking to the gas station. I followed her in and was behind her in line. She bought a coke and a chocolate bar. "Uh that'll be 1 dollar. " The cashier said. She was rummaging in her pocket and to impress her I paid for it. She turned to me and I saw her eyes were red but she still looked pretty. "Th-Thanks." She smiled. I bought myself a zippo and grabbed two packs of smokes.  We walked out together and I started smoking. "Are you the kid who got beat up by his dad?" She asked. I nodded and looked at my feet. "My dad is being a real asshole." She said. "What'd he do so far?" I asked. "He grounded me for kissing a boy." She rolled her eyes. "What'd he do to you?" She asked. I forgot to flush so he gave me 30 across the ass in front of the neighborhood. My sister's a whore and she gets it worse." I said. Her eyes widened and she pulled me into an alley. "What else?" She asked. "I didn't say Hi to him so he locked me in the basement, I got an F so he didn't feed me and kicked  ass, I found out he had a girlfriend so he kicked me out of the house for a week then picked me up because my other two brothers weren't enough for punching bags." I named a few. "What about your sister?" She asked. "I don't wanna talk about it anymore." I admitted. "I'll kiss you if you tell." She said. Why do you wanna know so bad?" I asked. "My dad has police officer friends." She held my hand. Some kid saw us and recognized me. "What's up pussy?" He asked. "Leave me alone."I growled. "Is the little whore pleasuring you like your sister pleasured my brother?" He asked. I pulled him so hard by the collar his shirt tore and slammed his head into the concrete. He was crying. "You little tampon! I'll kill you!" I was punching the shit outta him. Lola was kicking him in the ribs hard and I stomped on his balls. I guess his screaming was loud enough because a police officer came just as I was cutting his forearms. I ran over to the fence and heaved myself over it. I The top of the fence had barbed wire and it caught my jeans. I landed headfirst into the ground and blacked out. I woke up on a bed in a cell. I spent the night there and was released in the morning somehow. Lola was waiting for me outside. "How-- "My dad pulled some strings and he's gonna tell some of his friends about your dad. "How can I thank you?" I asked. "Meet me at the park tomorrow, and bring me chocolate because that's what boyfriends do right?" She asked. I grinned as she gave a kiss on the cheek before blushing and running off.
