Collide

chapter 10 - Troy

Chapter 10

It's already 11:30 p.m. and we only just finish watching 'Meet the Focker' Ali's now inserting a new movie and sat back down to her seat just beside me. We're in her entertainment room, chilling. With Lenny and Molly.

The movie start playing with a man in his boat, paddling around the curvy river, under the sunset with a slow and low melody matching with it, then I saw Lenny stand up and say.

"I need to go to the bathroom." He walks out from the room.

Then a few minutes later Molly stands up and say.

"I'm going to get some water." And quickly walk out from the room, shutting the door behind her quietly.

That only leaves me and Ali alone in the dark room. We continue to watch the movie in silence.

I scoot forward from my seat to grab some popcorn but suddenly someone grab my hand then quickly let it go. I heard a low voice saying sorry from Ali's direction. I scoot back and didn't even bother to grab some popcorn. I just drank the coke that I've been holding, and focus on the movie.

I look at Ali a few times; her eyes were glue to the movie and nothing else.

The guy is rebuilding the old house, painting it white by himself. Then Alison suddenly talk.

"Troy?"

"Yeah?" I look at her.

"I'm just going to get something, do you mind if I pause?" she asked, ready to stand up.

"No." I shake my head and smile at her.

"I promise I'll be quick." She said running out the room quickly.

I can hear her loud running footsteps against the wooden floor and on the staircase then just above entertainment room. Then suddenly I hear her running back down and chanting Oh My God repeatedly, echoing around the house until she got back, claim her sit beside me and play the movie.

"Hey what's wrong? You look.......terrified."

"Definitely." She said clutching the pillow beside her.

"What happen up there?" I asked curiously.

"I got traumatize a minute ago." She's still clutching the pillow real hard.

"What do you mean by that?"

"They're having a little session."

At the same time she said that we hear some falling and smashing things just above us. I look at her with a questioning face.

"They're having a sexual intercourse!" She exclaimed, horrified. "In. My. Room! In. My. Bed!" She cried in a horrific way.

Then we heard something that we don't need to hear, so we turn the volume of the TV up to a hundred to cover up the noise that's happening upstairs.

But after a few minutes the session happening upstairs were getting louder than our one hundred volumed TV, It's very disturbing.

I look at Ali. It's really getting on Alison's nerve and can't take it anymore, she turn the TV off and the noises become very very loud, she groan in disgust.

"Sorry about that, but....do you mind if we get out of here?" She looks at me then look at the door.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I, It's very...disturbing here." I said, standing up, trying to ignore the noise.

"Come on! Before it gets out of control."

We quickly get out of the room and out to the beach.

"That was um........" There are no words to describe what happen inside.

"I know." Alison agrees.

"C'mon let's take a walk." She said, slowly walking near the water and I followed her.

We walk in silence, enjoying the calm surrounding. The moon, shining above us but not that bright compare to the other nights. There are no stars tonight, probably covering by the night clouds.

The water slightly touches my feet sending shivers through my body. Alison is walking a little ahead of me.

"I thought Lenny was gay." I said breaking the silence.

"Yes he was, but I guess not anymore." She replied. I walk a little faster to catch her pace.

She suddenly stop from her tracks and face the sea, letting her feet get wet and cover with sands each time a wave rolls in and out on the shore.

I look at her; she seems preoccupied by many things.

"What are you thinking?" I asked suddenly.

"Nothing. Just some random thoughts." She answer looking at me.

Are gazes were lock into each other's eyes, looking deeply into it. That moment she looks at me, it's like the first time I saw her in the hospital.

"What are you thinking?" She asked all of a sudden.

I was thinking about the first time we've met, at the hospital but I didn't say it out loud because I don't want her to be sad again, I don't want her to cry and lock herself in her room again because of those sad days.

"Nothing." I said.

"Really?"

"Really." I assured her.

"Okay. You wanna go back inside?"

"Yeah."

The next morning I was ready to come down when I hear Ali's voice in the living room.

"You guys are leaving now? I thought you two are going to stay her for a week or so." I hear Alison say. I was at the top of the staircase hiding and eavesdropping.

"We change our plans." Molly's alibi.

"Okay. But before you two leave. What excuse do you have for me about last night?" I imagine Alison crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well...um...er..." Lenny got tongue-tied.

Alison cut him off before he says more.

"There's like ten rooms in here and you guys choose my room to do your little session."

"Because that the nearest room we have that time?" It's more like a question than an excuse.

"But before you two leave, can you tidy up my room and change the cover of my bed."

"Okay." Both Molly and Lenny quickly agree.

I hear Alison's footstep getting closer and closer until I saw her at the other end of the stairs. She greet me good morning and I greet her back.

She come up and went to my room, and I follow behind her.

"What's going on?" I asked curiously.

She didn't answer. She went to my closet and get out a pair of black short, a white V-neck t-shirt and a flip-flop. She then gave it to me.

"Wear this and we're going somewhere." She told me and left my room.

I did what she said. I slip off my clothes and wear the white V-neck shirt, the black short and slip the flip-flop on my feet. Where are we going?
