Fallen Hope

quit

My eyes slowly opened. I was still on the concrete next to my car. It took everything to actually get up and get in my car. I took a few deep breaths and drove back home. I walked in. Janey, Brian, and Markus were sitting on the couches. Janey jumped up and hugged me.

"Teddy bear! Where have you been!?"

I know I missed her calling me that. But I never wanted her to say that in front of Brian and Markus. It's like when your mom baby's you in front of your friends when you're 12. Embarrassing.

"What happened to you, teddy bear?" Markus joked.

Brian punched him in his arm. Janey let go of me and stepped back a little.

"Well last night Eddy told me to meet him at this one spot that he went to on Friday. He tried to fuck me even though I kept trying to push him off of me and telling him no. So I kicked him in the dick and tried to leave. But he beat the shit out of me. I woke up this morning in the middle of the parking lot next to my car." Brian and Markus looked at each other then stood up.

"Well go get dressed cause we need to go to band practice. Let's just get this over with." Markus sighed.

"Is it alright if I grab a quick shower first? I'm kinda covered in dirt and it's completely unbearable. And I'm freaking out because of it." I insisted.

"Yeah. Of course you can. Please do.." Brian answered.

I took a shower, got dressed, brushed my hair, grabbed my guitar, and we then all left. I was pretty shocked that they just let that go. And that Janey didn't say anything about it either. Acting as if nothing happened almost.

"Sorry that I called you teddy bear in front of them. I didn't mean to embarrass you." Janey apologized.

"Hey, it's alright. You're just used to calling me that." I assured.

We soon got to Eddy's. We all got out of our vehicles. I noticed that they didn't bring their instruments. That's really weird.

We all walked into the house and went downstairs. Eddy looked at us and crossed his arms.

"It's about damn time. Where the hell are your instruments?" Eddy sneered. He then saw Janey. "Oh, apologies. Is this your friend?" He asked. I nodded my head yes. "Let me ask you a question, how many times a day do you get told that you're beautiful?"

"I don't know." Janey shrugged.

"Well if I looked like you I'd loose track too." He chuckled.

I held into my guitar case handle tightly before I punch him.

"Apologies, but where's the bathroom?" Janey asked.

"Don't apologize. I'll show you." He insisted.

They then walked upstairs. I glared at the sight of Eddy touching her butt. All of a sudden Brian took my guitar case out of my hands and opened it. Spray paint was put in it. Wtf.

"What the hell? Why is that in there?" I questioned.

They didn't answer. They both grabbed a can then tossed one to me. I watched as they spray painted "WE QUIT! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" on the wall. They then wrote their names. They looked at me. I smiled and rote my name too. Janey then ran down the stairs.

"Okay, we gotta go. Now." Janey announced.

They put the spray paint back in my case and r ran to the cars and drove away.

"What the fuck just happened?!" I freaked.

"We'll tell you when we get back to the house." She answered.

She had a smile from ear to ear. When we got back to the house we sat in the living room. Janey and I on one couch and Markus and Brian on the other.
