Skaters and Haters-Chapter 7

When I woke, I found myself tied to a chair in a very brightly lit room. A dark figure emerged from the darkness. It was Robbie.
"Ah, Red, yes, little Red skating poof." He said cunningly.
"Planned that speech did you?", I said bravely, "I'm not afraid of you. Nor is anyone else. You think you're it, but you're not Robbie."
The expression on his face told me that he wasn't to happy with what I just said. I could practically SEE the steam coming out of his ears! He slapped me. HARD. I jerked my head back in pain, but more in shock. This was like a scene from: CSI Miami! He walked out of the room, and returned holding a medium sized mirror. It had a thin crack, going straight down the middle. 7 years bad luck, but for who? He held it to my face without saying a word. Then he broke the silence by saying:
"See, see what you made me do?!" He yelled. He took a deep breath and looked me right in the eye, before saying:, "Why are you here?"
I could practically taste his breath, he'd been drinking.
"I'm here for Kelly." I replied.
He frowned and walked out of the room. There was some commotion coming from the other room. He returned carrying a doll.
"You mean this piece of junk?"
"Yes." I said grinning, "That's EXACLY how Kay described it: "Ooh how I miss my worthless piece of junk!""
We both laughed. It was cruel, but it was the only way out. By keeping you friends close, and your enemies closer. He walked around the back of the chair and untied me. I fell to the ground with a thud! He may have untied me from the chair, but he didn't untie my hands and legs. He headed out of the room to the front door.
"You comin' or what?" He yawned.
"How can I when you didn't untie my hands and legs?" I replied.
He stuck his hand into my coat pocket and pulled out the keys.
"I'll drive." He said. He saw the chicken keyring, "Funny guy!" He said shaking his head.
"There not mine."
"I know, I meant Jonny."
At that very moment he grabbed my legs and flung me over his shoulder.
"People will think your kidnaping me!" I protested.
"Picky picky picky!" He sighed, "And besides, its dark out."
When we got back to Jonny's he banged on the door and it answered IMMEDIATELY.
"Delivery.", He said and dropped me inside the door, "And keys." He threw the keys down next to me and walked away. Jonny and Kay dragged me inside onto the couch. Jonny ran down the hall to confront Robbie. So it was just me and Kay.
"You know," Kay began, mopping my face with a wet cloth, "That was a really brave thing you did for me tonight. Stupid. But brave."
She put the cloth back in the bowl and ran her hand through my hair.
"Kay, I--"
"Sshhhh..." She said stroking my cheek. "You don't have to say anything."
I put my hands around her waist, and looked into her eyes.
"Kay, from the moment I first saw you--"
Suddenly, Jonny burst through the door, we quickly broke apart as soon as we saw him.
"I'll just go and put this away." Kay said quickly, graving the bowl, and heading for the kitchen.
"What happened with you two?" Jonny asked, sitting beside me and inspecting my face.
"Nah, nothing, we just talked..." I lied.
"Oh yeah, and when I caught up with Robbie, he gave me this." Jonny added.
I smiled.
It was Kay's doll, Kelly.
Jonny said we needed to go to the hospital to get me stitched up. Kay decided to stay at home, to get some sleep. I wanted to give Kelly to Kay myself, so I went into my room and hid her under my pillow, just before we set off the Santa Cruz Medical Hospital.
It didn't take to long to get my stitches done. It only took about an hour and a half.
When I got back, I ran into my room to find Kay tucked up under the covers! I bent down beside her and smiled. I didn't want to wake her so I went to sleep in her bed instead. I would give it to her tomorrow.
