The bell rings and Ray follows me out into the hall. I don't think he wanted to pick up where we left off in the whole 'hooker' conversation, cause he was babbling about the test being so hard or some shit...

"Whad'ya put for the last one?" He asks me as we walk towards Gerard by the door.

"Ummm C." I say as Gerard grabs my hand and pulls me towards his lips.

Ray laughs a little. "It was true false." He says as Gerard kissed me. I pulled back and looked at Ray like maybe he was kidding.

"The last question was true false?" I ask him panicking a little.

"The whole test was Elle!" he laughs a little.

"Oh fuck!" I cry out throwing my hands in the air.

"You put C!" Ray is trying not to laugh as we walk outside.

"Yes!" I say sighing a little.

"For how many?" Gerard asks me.

"The whole fucking test!" I tell him feeling nauseous again.

"You're gonna end up in ISS again baby." Gerard laughs.

"Ha!" Ray laughs. "It'll serve you right!"

"Shut the fuck up!" I tell them walking towards the gate. Gerard was right behind me. Ray paused for a moment.

"Wait, where you going?" He said hesitantly.

"To my house." I say. "I figured it's the safest place." I laugh.

"Is Lia there?" He said lowering his voice. Yeah I guess that would make it slightly less safe...

"No." I assured him. "She said she had a lotta things to do. She will not be there Ray." I told him several times as we walked down the block towards my house.

As I went to put the key in the front door I could hear muffled sounds coming from inside.

"Sounds like Lia left the TV on." Gerard laughed as I opened the door.

We walk in and Lia is sprawled out on the couch. With a bigger mess than yesterday, if that's even possible.

"Lia!" I cry out as she sits up. She's got a half smoked joint in her hand.

"Hey." She says looking at us. She holds the joint out and I take it from her. "You're late." She says to me as I take a hit off it.

"What?" I choke a little on the smoke.

"I thought your lunch was earlier." She says standing up and stretching a little. "Hey where's your girlfriend Ray?" She teases him. "I was looking forward to getting to know her better." She laughs.

I pass the joint to Gerard and look around the room. Lia had ordered a bunch of food. She had it all spread out on the coffee table. "What happened Lia?" I say to her picking up a fork and the tin plate of spaghetti off the table.

"I told you I ordered food." She repeated.

"No I mean with your whole "I'm taking control speech!" you made this morning." I laugh mimicking her.

"Oh that." She sighs. "Well I did get up and I got dressed but I realized I didn't have any gas money so..." She shrugged a little.

"Well how the fuck did you order all this food!" I say as Ray passes me the joint back.

"Chill out Elle!" She laughs. "I wasn't finished" She scoffs. "So I went over to um Crystals house." She says and I just look at her. "She owed me some money from before so..." I waited. Lia stopped talking.

Gerard took the joint from me. "so what- you used it for all this." I say waving my hands around laughing a little.

"It was actually some pretty good shit." Gerard said taking the last hit from it and mashing it into the ashtray.

"I thought you'd be happy Elle." Lia sighs a little.

"Cause you brought home drugs? and lets not forget some spaghetti too." I laugh. Gerard was right. It was good shit. I was feeling pretty wasted. Gerard laughed too.

"No I found a place to live." Lia said proudly.

"Where?" I ask her.

"I'm gonna stay with Crystal." Lia shrugs.

"Lia you don't have to leave!" I say loudly. "I was just kidding about the spaghetti!" I tell her laughing.

"No its good really." Lia insists. "Crystals lifestyle is more similar to my own." She says smiling a little.

Gerard laughs. I don't know what's so funny but I laugh too.

"And I got a JOB!" Lia exclaims jumping up.

"In one day?" I ask her. I don't fucking believe it.

"Hey can I get something to drink?" Ray asks and I nod.

"Don't drink the stuff that's marked Lia's!" I yell after him and Lia rolls her eyes.

"What kinda job?" Gerard asks her. He was sitting on the floor eating off the table. I was next to him. Lia was on the couch.

"A real job!" She says pulling out her cigarettes.

"What other kinds are there?" Ray says from the doorway. He's holding a glass of something.

"Huh?" Lia says confused.

"Well, where is it Lia?" I ask. Still not believing that she was able to find a job in one day...

"Delilah's Den." Lia says smiling. Gerard started choking.

"Lia that's a strip club." I hear Ray yell out.

"Well duh Ray!" Lia laughs. "The guy says since I'm not 18 I technically shouldn't be working but he's gonna look the other way until then." Lia babbles excitedly.

"no no no no no." I say standing up. "Lia you can not work there." I tell her sitting on the couch next to her.

"Why not?" She says a little hurt. "You don't think I'm pretty enough." She says frowning a little.

"No.. Its just..." I look over at Ray- like fucking help me here.

"Did you um happen to tell Bob this yet?" Ray chimes in.

"No I'm gonna surprise him." Lia squeals.

"Oh fuck." Gerard mumbles shaking his head.

"What?" Lia says with a genuine shocked tone to her voice.

"Bobs not really a surprise kinda guy." Gerard says running his hand through his hair a little. Lia still looked confused.

"Okay." Ray says calmly sitting next to her on the couch. "We are not together any more Lia." He says to her and she nods. "Okay but if we were and you told me you had a surprise and you brought me there and told me you were working there-I'd ring your fucking neck Li- And I'm a lot more reasonable than Bob- " Ray started to say and Lia cut him off.

"No, I'm not gonna tell him!- I figured I'd just come out on stage and surprise him!" Lia yells out. Obviously very satisfied with her plan.

"You put a lot of thought into this huh?" I say and she nods. "Well I guess that's gotta count right?" I say looking over at Gerard. "I mean its sweet in a way right?" I ask him.

He shook his head no. "Baby" he says pulling my face close to his. "If I ever see you dancing with no clothes on. I'll fucking-" He tells me firmly looking into my eyes. His eyes were a little bloodshot.

"Fuck Gerard! -Way to ruin my plans for us for Friday night." I tease him and he smiles.

Ray chokes on his drink a little. "Friday?" He coughs. "Elle- um" He raises his eyebrows a little.

"Yeah?" I say looking over at him...He looks a little worried...


"What exactly do you have planned for Friday night?!?!?!"
