Lia and I were getting ready to go. She had already torn through most of my closet and still could not find anything to wear. I didn’t even want to go anymore. Now that I knew Frankie was full of it I could be with Gerard. I mean really be with him. Lia was bitching about Ray. He didn’t want her to go.

"So lets not go Lia" I said while brushing my hair. " We could just hang out with the guys tonight, you could call Carlos and cancel."

"Oh you'd like that." Lia snickered. "You and Gee have been pretty cozy lately. And what do you mean cancel with Carlos...you dont cancel on Carlos.." She held up an orange shirt. I shook my head no.

"Orange makes you look sickly." I said

"Then why did you buy it?" She said tossing it to the floor. I went and picked it up.

"Cause I look good in orange...you dont!" I said putting it away.

"Argh!" Lia screamed slamming my drawer. "you have NO clothes!" she yelled. I shrugged. Lia looked at me and smiled. "Hey let me have that shirt.." she said sweetly.

"The one I’m wearing!" I exclaimed. "this is brand fucking new Li!"

She nodded. Fuck. Well it would be easier for me to just let her have it then to wait for her to try on everything again. I pull it off and throw it at her. I open my drawer to get another shirt. Oooh. whats this. A bag of weed? Shit. Ever since papa died I’ve been real careless. Leaving shit all over the house.

"ooooh! " Lia cries and snatches it from the drawer. "Where’s your pipe?" She asks opening the bag and smelling it.

"I lost it." I said frowning.

"papers?" she asked.

"maybe in the kitchen." I said. Lia followed me down the hall into the kitchen. I looked in all the drawers. Nothing. I shook my head no.

"Fuck Elle. you’ve gotta get your shit together...be more responsible." Lia said emptying the bag on my kitchen table.

"Ha! responsible...you say as you pour weed all over my table!" I laugh. Lia laughed too.

"All right give me that fucking soda bottle." She said pointing to the counter.

"Why?" I ask as she’s sorting through picking out the seeds.

"Why?" she mimics back "cause I’m gonna make a fucking bong Elle..wake up!!" She laughs. she’s reaching for the plastic bottle.

"Oh hell no Lia..that bottles not even empty yet." I say grabbing it off the counter before her.

"I'll drink it then." She moans holding out her hand.

"No last time you said that you dumped it down the sink when I turned around." I said putting the bottle behind my back.

"Then you drink it." She said crossing her arms. I looked at the bottle.There was no way I could drink that much soda. Fuck. Lia and I stood staring at each other. She was so fucking stubborn.

"Well drink up!" she said nodding at the bottle. The doorbell rang. Lia reached for the bottle but I pulled it back. "Elle." she protested.

"Ill drink it" I said swatting at her hand. "let me just get the door first hmmm." I said running down the hall. Ah! It felt so good to run again. I hated those crutches. I swing the door open. It’s Ray.

"Hello." I sing out.

"Well now that’s a hello!" He cries out.

I look down. Fuck...I’m not wearing a shirt, just a bra and jeans. I gave my shirt to Lia, then we got distracted. Gerard came up the steps behind Ray. He smiled at me and went to say something but I cut him off.

"Here just drink this" I said handing him the soda bottle. He wrinkled his eyebrows at me. "come on just do it..and bring the bottle to fucking McGiver in the kitchen". I said holding the door open as he and Ray walked in. I headed straight for my room. I knew what I wanted to wear. That backless orange top Lia threw on the floor before. I ripped off my bra and was sliding the shirt over my head when I heard Gerard’s voice.

"Haven’t you ever heard of closing the god damn door." He said standing in the doorway. I turned and he shut the door.

"I didn’t know you were there." I said as he pulled me in and kissed me. He wrapped his arms around me. I felt his hands on my back.

"you’re not really going to that shitty club are you?" He said kissing my neck. I pulled back.

"Yeah I have to." I said twisting my hair up into a clip. He moaned. "I told you Lia’s gotta meet this guy." He rolled his eyes. I dont know why hes being like this. I tolls him several days ago. Lia is meeting up with Carlos. He promised her a vile of acid- enough to make 2 or 3 sheets for only a couple hundred dollars. There was a rave next week the night before the Christmas eve and she could like triple her money.

"Rays not gonna let her go." he said sitting on my bed.

"Id like to see him try to stop her!" I said putting my boots on. He frowned. "Why dont you come if your so concerted." I said sitting next to him.

"I wouldn’t be caught dead there." he said running his finger down my bare back. It tickled slightly and I arched back.
He laughed. There was a loud bang in the kitchen.

"We better see whats Lia’s up to." I said getting up. Lia and Ray were arguing in the kitchen. He was sure she was going out with Teddy.

"I told you Ray! Teddy is no longer around." Lia screamed at him. Ray turned to me.

"Is he going tonight?" He demanded.

"Who?" I asked innocently.

"Ted!" Ray said looking at me intently. Oh Teddy...Poor sweet Teddy... I thought back. Lia and I buried him in my backyard after she got home from the cruise. We made him a shoebox casket and a rock for a gravestone. I looked down at floor sadly remembering Teddy’s funeral.

"What the fuck!" Ray said grabbing my arm.

"Whoa dude!" Gerard said pulling his arm off me.

"That’s the same fucking look Lia gets whenever I ask about him." He said waving his arms in the air. "What the fucks going on?" He yelled.

Lia walked out of the kitchen and locked herself in the bathroom with her newly made bong. "Let me know when he's gone!" She yelled.

Ray looked at me waiting for an answer. An answer to what? I dont know. This is exactly why I dont get involved in other peoples problems.

"Well..?" Ray said looking down at me.

"I don’t know what you want me to say Ray." I said looking at him blankly.

"Just tell me the truth." he said softly. "Just tell me what happened with Teddy."

I rolled my eyes. Gerard sat at the table. He looked mildly amused at this. I bit my lip.

"Ok Ray I'll tell you the truth..if you give me your cd." I said and I looked over at Gerard. He was smiling now. . Ray looked at him. Gerard shrugged. Ray nodded.

"Go head then Elle." Gerard said lighting a cigarette and taking a slow drag.

I took a deep breath. "Okay-teddys-dead-I-killed-him-accidentally and-then-when-Lia-came-home we-buried-him-in-my-backyard but-you-cant-tell-anyone you-have-to-swear-and-that’s-the-truth." I said in one breath.
Gerard was still smiling.

"Can I have the cd now?" I asked holding out my hand

Ray laughed. "no...I said if you tell me the truth.."

"I did!" I exclaimed. I look to Gerard. "tell him thats the truth!" I say. Gerard shrugged. Ray went to go see if he could pick the bathroom doors lock. I march up to Gerard.

"Hey!" I say. He looks at me. "Why didn’t you tell Ray that was all true." I say taking the cigarette from his hand. I took a drag from it.

"Cause I said I'd never tell." He said taking the cigarette back. "And I always keep secrets." He said zipping his lip shut like I did to him last week. I couldn’t help but laugh. Bastard.

"I'll get that cd if it’s the last thing I do!" I mumbled as we kissed.

Ray managed to get Lia out of the bathroom but he totally fucked up my doorknob. I guess they kissed and made up cause Ray and Lia came back into the kitchen smiling. Ray insisted on driving us to Hunka Bunka. But he and Gerard weren’t gonna come in. Ray said they'd drop us off outside and pick us up exactly one hour later. He stressed the exactly part like 3 times.

I figure it'll only take Lia a few minutes once she actually found Carlos. I dont know what she told Ray she was doing cause as we were getting out of the car I thought I heard him say something about talking to the manager. I dont know what the fuck they were talking about. I couldn’t really hear. Gerard was whispering in my ear not to do anything stupid. Aww, I think he really cares. I kissed him on the cheek. Lia made a face.

"What?" I asked her pulling out my ID.

"We'll talk about it later." Lia said smiling at the bouncer.

The club was so dark it was gonna take a miracle to find Carlos. There was people everywhere you could hardly move. "Lets go dance." Lia said pulling me towards the floor.

"What about C ?" I yelled. She couldn’t hear me. I leant into her ear and repeated it. She nodded.

"See that 3rd couch over there on the side." She said pointing to the wall. I nodded. "There in about maybe 20 minutes Elle." She said smiling.

"And your money?" I asked. She reached into her back pocket and pulled it out. A few crumpled hundred dollar bills.

"Fuck Lia you’re gonna lose it." I told her

"Put it in your bra.” She said handing it to me.

I shook my head and turned my back to her without taking the money. "I’m not wearing one see" I showed her my bare back. Fuck Lia was so stoned. She ran her hands along my bare back like she didn’t believe me.

"You’re a fucking whore! " she yelled and I laughed. Some guy came up behind us. I guess the whole Lia feeling up my back thing gave him the wrong impression cause Lia started dancing with him and he kept asking about us. Us? Like Lia and I are a couple. I couldn’t take his creepy looks anymore so I left Lia alone dancing -well more like grinding- with him and went to get some water. Ah the old 18 to enter 21 to drink shit. 'Man I could so use a rum and coke.' I thought as I sat at the bar next to a tall dark haired guy.

"rum and coke" he calls out to the bartender waving a bill.

I reach into my pockets. Shit I dont have any money. Lia’s got it all still. Fuck. The bartender puts it down and the tall guy pushes it towards me.

"How did you?" I ask totally bewildered

"You said it under your breath." He laughed. Fuck I’ve gotta stop doing that. I wonder how many things I’ve actually said out loud without realizing it. I sat and made small talk for a while. Lia finally drags her ass over to the bar. Mr. I love lesbians she was dancing with was no where to be found. I gulped the last sip of my drink as Lia walked up.

"Aw you finished it all." She said looking at my empty cup. "Get another one Elle." She said slumping her head on my shoulder. Fuck she was so wasted. Mr. tall guy smiled. I think maybe he likes lesbians too.

"Give me the money Li." I held out my hand. Lia reached into her pocket and frowned. Then her other pocket.

"I gave it to you already" she said wrinkling her eyebrows at me. I shook my head no. "Yeah I told you to put it in your bra." I kept shaking my head. Fuck dont tell me she lost the fucking money.

"No you didn’t Lia, check again." I said crossing my arms. She looked in her pockets and mumbled something. Then she looked at me.

"I know I put it in your bra" she insisted and then leant towards me and pulled the front of my shirt forward a little and peeked in. Tall and now creepy guy laughed. Yup he definitely likes lesbians. I smiled and excused us.

"Lia come on it was in your pocket" I said as I dragged her towards the bathroom.

"Oh yeah...thats right... I put it back before I started dancing with that guy.." Lia said and her face dropped. "Fuck Elle..I think he stole my money." She said getting flustered.

I pulled her into a stall. "How the fuck did he get in your pocket Lia?" I demanded

"Well he had his hands all over my ass..I guess he couldve..Oh Fuck its almost time to meet C." Lia started swearing the foulest things I ever heard. She was gonna call the cops on him..And say what that some guy stole her drug money! Fuck!!!! I told her to go wait on the couch for C and that I'd get the money back.

Fuck. I made my way back through the crowd on the dance floor and found Mr. asshole thief. Mat for short. He was dancing with some chick. I wanted to just go up to him and kick him in the balls but I didn’t think that would get Lia’s money back. We'd probably just get thrown out. So I slinked over to him and started dancing.

Close...Closer...I slid my hands on his waist. 'My friend and I were hoping to meet you later for some fun' I whispered in his ear. He smiled.I slid one hand up his shirt and ran my fingers along his stomach. He had really nice cut abs. It was a shame he was a MAT slipped my other hand into his front pocket and felt around. He smiled. God this was way too easy. There was nothing there. Well there was something there...but not was I was looking for...Again what a fucking waste....

Oh..other pocket...yes...there..okay..easy now Elle...YES! I whispered in his ear to meet us on the couch upstairs by the back wall in about 2 min and kissed his ear gently. He walked away and headed up the stairs. I made my way to the couch where Lia was. She was saying goodbye to Carlos. She saw me and grabbed my arm.

"Lets go" she whispered checking the time.

"Lia the money..uh..carlos..uh why we came remember.." I whispered back. She was dragging me to the exit door.

"I found the money..it was in my bra not yours.” She laughed as we walked out into the parking lot.

My jaw dropped. "What did you say?" I said and I stopped walking. Lia saw Ray across the lot and waved.

"My pocket..I got it Elle..its ok." Lia said flashing me the small vile she was clutching in her hand.

"Oh shit Lia!" I said running towards her. "We have to go like NOW!" I said grabbing her arm and running towards the car.

"why?" she cried "Elle come on whats the rush.."

"I just stole Mats wallet!!!"
