Three Cheers To A Never Ending Summer

Chapter Twnety Three

"Will you drive me and Vic back to the Mariana?" Danielle asks me

"Um why?"

"We're going home" she tells me, then I look at Vic who looks sad

"You want to go home Vic?" She looks at him and he looks down

"I Uh-"

"Yes he does" she says

"Can you let him answer maybe?" I ask and she huffs rolling her eyes "or Vic, can we just go talk really quick?"

"N-"

"Yeah sure" he answers, so we go back in my room, and I close the door

"Dude What's up?"

"She's being a bitch" he whispers "I don't want to leave but I think I have to"

"Is there anything I can do to convince her to stay?" I ask and he thinks for a minute

"I don't think so" he sighs, concluding "I'm really sorry"

"No, don't be it's not your fault. I'm sorry that I made shit worse earlier but I didn't want to just let her talk shit about Alysha"

"I'm happy you did" he nods "I just wish she would've never said it"

"Is she always like this?" I ask

"I mean sometimes" he sighs "But I love her"

"Does she love you?" He looks up at me for a minute, and we just sit on my bed, then the door opens

"What the fuck?" Cole says and I look at him

"What?" I ask

"So your just gonna fuck him now?" I furrow my eyebrows

"No?" I say then raise my eyebrows "No! Babe, Danielle's trying to make him go home so we're discussing a solution so that-"

He grabs my wrist "Cole"

"You and I need to talk" he pulls me out of the room and I stumble forward, then Vic walks out and says

"Hey, your hurting her" and I look back and Cole just says

"Mind your own fucking business" then yanks me toward so hard, that I fall onto my knees and they get scraped up so I shriek

"Ow!"

"What the fuck dude" Vic kneels down

"I wouldn't have pulled her away if-"

"Just leave me the fuck alone" I get up and Vic says

"Amanda, your bleeding"

I look down at my knees and exhale "Fucking great" so I walk past them into the boat and Danielle starts

"So when are you driving us-"

"Dude What's your problem? Your mad because I called you out on something? Just get over it, Vic wants to stay, can't you see that? And can't you see I'm fucking bleeding? Let me take care of this, I'm busy right now" then I walk out and Mike says

"Hey- what happened to your legs?"

I just walk around to the bathroom, then go in and lock the door. I get some toilet paper and wipe the blood, then put peroxide on it, which fucking stings.

"Baby?" Cole coos at the door

"Go away" I sing, then put one foot up on the toilet, and start opening the bandage

"I'm really sorry and I didn't mean to hurt you" he says "I was just jealous"

"Okay" I sing, then put one bandage on, and switch legs.
