Why did I end up with the Idiots?!, chapter 3
***Flashback from "The First Painting"! And the things that led to it... ***
Jesus was 6 years old when he moved with his mom to "The City of The Damned".
He's mom, Maria, and he just moved there because of the death of his father.
Maria was just 22 when she lost her beloved husband!
He was mugged outside their house and the mugger shot him...
And it was Jesus who found him there.
Maria couldn't handle to stay in the house they had before... Not even the town!
And she cried almost every night, and Jesus tried to comfort her.
He took the old acoustic guitar that used to belong to his father and sat on her bad and played some of the songs he knew and sang for her.
Okay, he was only 6 but music is one... No wait... The ONLY thing he's good at. (okay, he's good at some other things but music is the one of the few things he both like and is good at. That and to paint and draw! )
And he was really sad too (don't think that he didn't cry, cuz' he did! A lot! ) and every minute, every day, every fucking year the sight of his dead father, covered in blood on that cold street!
And the worst thing was that he knew why his father was dead...
Carlos, his father, had been out to buy Jesus a birthday present.
The day he turned 6 he found his fathers corpse.
And his father was dead because of him! (well, he sure as hell felt like it was his fault! )
This was a big part of the whole flashback for Jesus, so he always felt sad after looking at the "art".
Anyway, around five days after he and his mom moved in to the new house his mothers crying became to much.
So he just grabbed his coat and went outside.
He didn't know the neighbourhood and he had not even walked out from the garden yet!
But this time he did.
He just walked and walked...
Suddenly a ball rolled in front of him.
After a short moment a blond boy in Jesus age came after the ball.
He had a too large t-shirt with Mickey Mouse on it and blue shorts.
"Hey!" the boy smiled.
He took the ball and threw it to some older boys that was playing on the street.
"Are you new here?" the boy continued.
"Yeah... Me and my mom just moved here from New York... " Jesus answered.
"Wow! That's like... A long way from here! Welcome to San Diego! And I don't like my name so I'm not going to say it, but you can call me Tunny." Tunny was really social...
"I'm Jesus... " he just answered.
"Huh? Are you that guy from the bible?"
"No, it's just a name... There more people that's named that too. And I don't believe in the bible or God... " he looked down on the ground.
"Why not?"
"Cause if God exist he's a bad man. And a bad man could not be a god... "
"Why do you think he's bad?" Tunny just kept' asking things...
"Cause he's be the one that took my dad away from me... " Jesus felt tiers burning in his eyes again.
No!
He could not cry like a girl in front of that boy...
"Oh... I'm sorry... My mom always tells me I'm talking to much and that I ask to much... And I guess she knew something like this would happen. So I'm sorry if I made you sad... "
"I'm okay... " Jesus just said.
"But... Are you doing something or is it okay if I go with you?" Tunny asked and looked Jesus in the eyes.
"Aren't you playing ball with your friends?" Jesus looked at the other boys.
"No... The won't let me play cuz' I talk to much... But they usually let me be the ball catcher! And they're not my friends... I don't really have any friends... But, hey! Can't we be friends? Or you can at least let me show you around here... "
"Thanks... " Jesus smiled.
It felt good.
He had not smiled since THAT day.
So the boys started to walk around.
Tunny talked almost the whole time and pointed at building and other stuff and told him who lived where and all that kind of things.
And now Jesus laughed too...
And that felt so much greater then smiling!
He was laughing when they turned around the corner, but he suddenly stopped when he saw what was gong on.
A little blond girl was getting bullied by a bunch of older boys.
They were pushing her and one of them had a doll that probably belonged to her... I mean I would get REALLY worried if I saw a boy with a doll that really belonged to him!
"Hey! Stop that!" Jesus screamed and ran there.
The boys stopped but one held the girl and the one with the doll didn't look like he was going to let it go.
"Why?" One of the boys said and laughed.
"Jesus... I don't think we should mess with them... I mean... They're like ten years old!" Tunny whined.
"Give the doll and leave her alone!" Jesus said without even listening to Tunny.
He didn't like that people teased those who were smaller then them
And this were ten years old boys that bullied a GIRL that probably was just around six years old!
"Why?" the same boy asked again.
"Are you a fucking retard, or what?! I said, let her go!" Jesus screamed (he learned all the "bad" word at an early age... )
"Yeah, yeah... Whatever... " the boys laughed and let go of the girl, and threw her doll on the muddy ground.
"What a little bastard!" they laughed as they walked away.
Jesus didn't care.
He just picked up the doll and gave it to the girl.
"Thanks... " she cried.
She had some bruisers on her arms were the boy held her.
"Why did they do that?" Jesus asked and looked her in the eyes.
"Cause I told the oldest boy that he was so damn ugly that he's mom must be ashamed and that he'll never get a girlfriend, outside his thoughs... "
Tunny and Jesus just looked at the girl.
She looked so sweet with her blond hair, pigtails and pink dress.
Yet she told an older boy all that...
"I'm Jess... " she continued. "I'm new here and they started to mess with me right away... "
"I'm Jesus and that's Tunny" Jesus introduced.
"Jesus? Like that guy in the bible?"
"No... It's just a name!" Jesus didn't really like the whole 'Are you the guy from the bible? ' thing.
Somehow the 3 six years old became friends.
Nobody remembers why or how they became friends, they just... Did.
At this young age Tunny wasn't the bad boy type of guy he is today...
He was paranoid, sensitive and a lot of other stuff, but yet he talked too much...
Jess, on the other hand, were tough, and swore a lot...
And Jesus was... Well, Jesus... He played guitar, was thinking a lot and wasn't scared of saying what he wanted to say.
Well anyway...
After that day, they were friends.
And Jess started to look like she was... A tomboy.
So instead of a pink dress she wore old jeans (that used belong to her older brother Dave), t-shirt and a baseball cap...
But even if she was a tomboy, she always had that old doll with her... She said it was her "security blanket" even if it wasn't a blanket...
Well, anyway...
Jesus kept telling older kids who bullied younger kids to go to hell, n defter a while he became know as "The Jesus of Suburbia".
They said he was kinda like Robin Hood but it didn't sound good with "Jesus Hood"...
So he was the Jesus of Suburbia.
Well, on one of those Robin Hood days Jesus and Tunny found themselves in the same situation as the first day they meet... Jess was bullied.
"Let go you dumbass!" she screamed to the same boy that.
He was holding her again.
She screamed and kicked and tried to bite him but he didn't let go.
"Stop it you dumb moron!" Jesus screamed.
And as usual, Tunny became scared and hid behind Jesus.
"Why? Is she your girlfriend now? Do you have to watch her?" the boy (who's name was Bill) teased.
"She's my friend you ugly piece of junk!"
And then... A fight...
Jesus, Jess and Tunny got beat up... Not too badly, but enough for them!
The older boys laughed and left.
Jess was crying.
Her nose bled.
They didn't really hit her.
The punch was meant for Tunny, but she took it.
Tunny had a bump on the head, and Jesus lips were swollen.
"Stupid fuckers... " Jesus muttered.
"Don't cry Jess... They're gone... " Tunny said in a try to comfort her. "We... We can paint on the walls! We... We write mean stuff about them! Will you feel better then?"
She and Jesus looked at him.
And then on each other.
"Yeah!" they both answered.
So there you got the story... They wrote a lot of stuff on that wall (mostly hat Bill was really ugly... ) and they laughed at each others drawings...
At this time they used house paint they nicked from Tunny's garage.
That was the very first time they wrote on that wall...
*** End of the Flashback ***
Jesus smiled.
"Dude, did you do that one?" Tunny suddenly asked and pointed at painting.
Jesus looked.
It was a guy with black, pointy hair.
Under it stood Saint Jimmy with big red letters...
Jesus was 6 years old when he moved with his mom to "The City of The Damned".
He's mom, Maria, and he just moved there because of the death of his father.
Maria was just 22 when she lost her beloved husband!
