In a City That Sleeps During the Day
Painting the Van and Yelling to Defend
Casey’s point of view
Joe said, “Hey Rick, Case get creative.”
“Really,” I asked as happy as I could be.
“Yea, really,” he said.
“Score, where is the paint,” I asked.
“Already near the car,”
“Thank you Joe,” I said, “Hey TYLER COME SEE!”
“What’s up?” Tyler said running down the stairs.
“Want to help me paint the van,” I asked.
“Yea, totally,” he said with a smile.
~Fast forward~
After we paint the van me and Tyler went into two separate bathrooms and showered off the paint. Then we went back downstairs and waited for the rest of them to show up. After 10 minutes or so, they showed up.
“Where the hell did you go,” Pete yelled at me.
“I’m sorry, but I was grabbed by a stupid dandy. Then I was dragged away from the fight, and then I escaped and I ran home,” I said telling half the truth.
“Then you should have yelled for help,” he said still angry.
“I couldn’t my mouth was covered,” I said calmly.
“Then why didn’t you think it,” he yelled.
“I did, you, you, you, jerk,” I yelled back. “You must think I’m some stupid human. Well guess what you were once like me remember Pete. Remember when you were my age and you got drunk, did drugs, and acted like you were a big shot. I’m not doing the things you did, but I’m making my own mistakes. That is how I learn, and how I know not to repeat them. You act like you a dad, one minute you’re caring about my well being and the next you’re completely ignoring me. You need help you’re not my dad, but you are my friend. My best friend, who I think sometimes more of, I use to like you more than a friend, I use to think of you as my best friend. However sometimes you don’t think before you act. I was almost killed a year back, because of your girlfriend. You remember, Ashley, remember how she made you think I was helping out the dandies, or how I was lying to you about killing myself. Remember when you used to beat me, because you thought I was a traitor. Remember when she made you fight with you friends, so that she could kill me. Do you remember that Pete, because I do. You *sigh* need to listen or ask what happened before you start yelling at people,” I said before running up to my room.
