Urm...I Hate Titles, chapter 7
*Ali's POV*
After Pepper went to go harass Mabby and Tre, I heard various amounts of screaming, shouting, and laughing, most of which was coming from Billie Joe who was leaning on the wall for support when I had a look. I saw Pepper run past into her room, closely followed by Chan and Mike who started screaming at her about hair and other interesting things. I snuck past them all, and gave Billie a weird look, then decided he must be mildly stoned. I wandered into Mabby's room, seeing as she was the only one not trying to kill Pepper, and found her and Tre in a sweaty embrace.
"Ew! I would say get a room, but you had one before I 'interrupted' you"
They pulled apart (with a mild schlop noise. EW!) and proceeded to look embarrassed. I heard Pepper banging about like an elephant in my room. I hoped she wasn't trashing anything, but she sounded like she was ransacking the goddamn place! I decided to go check what was wrong with her, and left Mabby and Tre 'to it'.
*Peppers POV*
had she been kidding, or was she really involved with drug dealers? I know we all smoke joints, but there's a couple (couple as in relationship) of lads in the year below us that gets it for us cheap. What if though... .what if she was involved with drug dealers and it had been them that had beaten her up so badly? I hadn't asked her who it was recently, coz I didn't want to upset her, but it was something I needed to know.
"Why are you trashing my room?"
Oh Jesus, Ali.
"What the fuck? Don't do that again! I thought some evil drug dealer had come and run off with you!
"Wha... evil drug dealers? Are you mad?"
"Yes! It's not my fault I think it was dealers that came and took you, you shouldn't have said about it at the hospital!"
"It was a joke,"
"Don't give me that crap, Ali I've known you since we were tiny, I know when you're lying or you've fucked something up without telling us! I know! So tell me, who was it that put you in hospital and then tried to kill you hmm? Was it the dealers? Coz I bloody well thinks it is!"
Ali whipped her self around as I had touched a raw nerve with a look of anger in her eyes
"I don't have to tell you fuck all, what I do is my business, not yours I can do what ever I bloody like!"
She screamed at me heading for her room, but I wasn't going to let her go yet, no way! I grabbed on to her arm and pulled her back so I was staring her right in the eyes.
"look Ali" I said just as angrily "I'm trying to help you and you throw it back in my face I just want to make sure you don't get into any more trouble, when you were in hospital you gave us a fucking fright and I don't wanna see you go down that road again!"
I pushed her onto the sofa as she flung her self up in a storming rage and tried to push past me
"I don't need a pissing lecture you're not my fucking mother" she yelled down my ear as I was attempting to stop her from leaving so soon.
"You don't get it do you, WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU!" I bellowed down her ear "BUT YOU WONT FUCKING LET US!
* Billie's POV *
"Fucking hell you guys! I said to mabby Chan, Tre and mike as I pulled then against the door "pepper and ali sound like there going to kill, each other! I'm going in to split it up" I said with my hand on the door knob, but I felt a hand strongly pull me away, it was Mike.
"Are you mad dude the worst thing you can do is go in there now , they'll just turn on you , you'll not last a second , the only reason why those two are still alive is that all girls are masters of bitch fights!" a worried Mike said getting and evil look off Chan.
He closed the door again and we all slumped up against it trying to make out what was going on, with our eyes glued to the door .Fucking hell, these girls have some issues I thought to myself as I desperately tried to make out what was going on. I was about to open my mouth when I got a shhhhhhhh! Look from Chan who was plastered against the bedroom door listing in. so we all just stood there waiting till it was safe to go in.
*Ali's POV * (back in the bed room)
"I USED TO THINK YOU UNDERSTOOD ME PEPPER BUT NO ONE FUCKING DOES ANY MORE , WHY DO I HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOU WHEN YOU JUST SHOUTING BULLSHIT AT ME, YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ME .YOU THINK YOU SO FUCKING PERFECT WITH A LIFE WITH OUT PROBLEMS WELCOME TO THE REAL FUCKING WORLD!" I screamed with all my mite till I felt a cold hard hand hit my face and knock me to the floor.
I clutched my face it was bleeding I looked at the blood on my hands in horror and then stared back up at pepper who was in clear shock at what she had just done.
"Ali I'm sorry ... ." she said "I don't know why I did that... "
"PEPPER I CAN'T BELIVE YOU JUST FUCKING DID THAT "I said full of pure shock backing up against the wall.
"I SAID I WAS SORRY! IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THAT I REGRET THUMPING YOU IN THE FACE, THEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT TAKES TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREAMING AT ME!" pepper said with a look of pure anger with a hint of hatred on her face and tears rolling down her cheeks.
I saw my chance to escape the door to my bed room was open and I had enough space to get there
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed then with all the strength in my shaking body wiping the blood from my face ran to my door and then into Billie etc. seeing as they were still standing there in shock.
* Billie's POV *
Lots more screaming, and a thump, followed by more screaming. God I'm so fucking glad I'm not a girl. Mabby had turned pale when we heard the thump, but suddenly she reached for the doorknob and wrenched the door open. Then all hell was set loose.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
That was Ali, who was on the floor with blood pouring from her cheek. Mabby tried to run in to help, but Mike held her back.
"I'll say to you what I said to Billie, if you go in there, you will get massacred"
"Do I look like I fucking care? Two of my best friends are currently trying to beat he living shit out of each other, and all I'm supposed to do is sit here and try not to get hurt myself? Trust me, it won't work, I know these two, they won't stop till one of them is dead, and then the other will kill herself because she killed her best friend, so get your hand off of my arm, I'm going in"
I looked inside, and saw Ali standing up and trying to get out, but Mabby was blocking the way, and Pepper was standing on the other side of her with tears streaming down her face and blood on her fist. Mabby and Mike helped Ali up and into the bathroom, while Chan and Tre stood in the doorway looking like total lemons, staring at Pepper who had just collapsed onto the sofa. I went over to see if she was ok, and she was just staring at the ceiling, still alive, still awake, doing nothing. Just staring.
"Why do I always fuck up? I just wanted to know what was wrong and now look, I feel like a mass murderer the way she fucking reacted"
She stood up and walked out the door, or at least would have done if Chan and Tre weren't still there. They didn't budge when she was about a metre or so away, so she pushed her way through, giving them both a hard shove.
*Peppers POV*
'Nobody understands!' bloody hell, does she think she's really that special? Wait, she is special, she's Ali, and she's my best mate! But she won't even tell me what's wrong! I have a right to be concerned and she shoves it back in my face! So what? She probably does have a hard time. But what if it is dealers though? Why won't she tell me? Why did I have to hit her? Why do I feel so bloody suicidal... ?
*Mabbys POV*
Just when you think everything's got better... urgh, why are they both so bloody stubborn? I held a tissue to Ali's face to stop the blood from pouring out and she hissed in pain.
"Stop being such a bloody wuss, you've broken you arm twice already"
"Well I'm terribly sorry if I just got thumped in the face by my so called best friend who so obviously wants to be my mother"
"Come off it, you know she's just concerned coz for god's sake so am I, and I don't see you flying off the handle at me!"
"She's got a fabulous way of showing it then! 'oo look, I'm so concerned I'm going to thump you in the face!' yeah, great"
I shook my head, I knew it was mostly Ali's fault, she should just tell us when something is wrong! We're not bloody psychic! But yeah, it was kinda Peps fault to, why does she have to be so violent? Urgh... Ali's nose stopped bleeding, so I took her back out into the living room so I could talk to her.
*Ali's POV*
Deep down, I knew she was just concerned, but dignity covered it up, if I backed down now I'd never hear the end of it.
"Ali, in a non violent and non loud way, please, just tell me what's going on. Please,"
"Why? Why does it matter to you?"
Is everyone against me? Why do so many people crave the position as my mother??? Even though... I knew she was just concerned for me. She was my friend; she had a right to be concerned! I'd be concerned if something like this happened to her wouldn't I?
*Mabbys POV*
I knew this was a bad idea, she looked as mad as hell; an I instantly regretted saying anything. Then she just slumped on the sofa and started crying, I went and sat next to her and gave her a hug.
"I - I - I know I should tell you, but I can't coz if I do it'll all get worse!"
"It won't, I promise, it can only get better now. Honest"
She thought for a few minutes, still crying.
"Just answer me one question Ali"
"Umm hmmmmm"
"Was it dealers?"
She burst into fresh tears, Billie and Tre wandered in, but I gave them a 'go away before I rip your head of your shoulders it's girl time' look, and they backed back out of the room and into the corridor.
*Peppers POV*
I went back into my room. I knew I shouldn't have hit her, but I also knew she'd be alright; she was a fighter, which is why you can't get a damn thing out of her when it matters most. If she wasn't going to let something go, she wouldn't, even if it killed her. I heard my door open.
"Hey troublemaker"
"Shut up Billie, if you couldn't tell, I really don't need this now"
"Yeah I could tell, but I'm so sorry if I'm not allowed to cheer my girlfriend up"
At the time, the fact that he had called me his girlfriend just totally flew over my head.
"I know... I'm sorry I snapped, but trust me, I feel like total shit"
"Figures. You know what helps me when I get in fights with Mike or Tre?"
"No, seeing I've known you properly for the grand total of a couple of days"
"True, but take a guess at what it is"
"I dunno, with me it's my guitar"
"You play guitar?"
"Uh huh, since I was 13"
"You got it with you?"
"Course! Jebus, it took me a month to actually leave the room with it!"
Wow, just when you think your never going to smile again, someone special makes you smile. Someone very special...
