Why did I end up with the Idiots?!, chapter 4
*Still Friday*
Jesus looked at it.
"Yeah I did that one... " he answered.
"Who's Saint Jimmy? I mean it looks like you... " Tunny continued.
"He's... He's the son of a gun... Literally! I made him up after my father was shot... He's one of my cartoons. He's brave and cool and not scared of anything... " Jesus said as he touched the painting.
He had not drawn Jimmy for years!
But he remembered all the little series he had done when he was younger.
Jimmy, the son of a gun, that hanged out with the Underbelly, which was the "gang name" he made up.
In the little series Jimmy had took out the revenge for his father by killing his murderer.
Jesus would never do that (+ the murderer was locked up for the murder of Diego, which was the name of Jesus father) but Jimmy would...
And it was fun to think about that there was this kid out there.
Saint Jimmy.
Who was brave and cool and didn't give a shit about anybody else and was a hell of a liar!
The name everybody on the streets feared should be "Saint Jimmy! The Son of a Gun" or "Saint Jimmy! The Patron Saint of the Denial!"
But Jimmy wasn't a saint...
He was a shoplifter... A drug addict.... A son of a bitch!
"Hey Jesus! Where did you go?" Tunny asked and woke him from his thoughts.
"Oh, I was just thinking... " he answered.
"Ha! Okay... " Tunny laughed. "But Jesus... Can't we go to your place or something? I'm fucking freezing!"
"Its summer you moron!" Jesus said and looked at Tunny with the 'what's your problem? ' look.
"Well, I'm cold!"
"Yeah, yeah... Let's go. Mom and Brad are away for the weekend so you will not be kicked out... "
(and yeah, both Tunny and Jess had been kicked out by Brad... He didn't like their style... )
So they walked home to Jesus and took a seat in the old sofa and watched some stupid movie...
In the middle of a boring scene the phone rang.
Jesus picked it up.
"Hello, the Jesus of Suburbia here... "
"Hi hun!" it was his mom... "Well, I just called to check if you had taken the pills" (he's on Ritalin cuz' he's kinda hyperactive... And it's Brad that wants him to take them...)
"Yeah, I've taken them... " Jesus muttered.
"I'm so sorry honey... He made me call... " she said slowly. "Oh, mi hijo... Qué madre tu tiene!" (Oh, my son... What a mother you got! )
She sounded like she was going to cry.
"I... I'm sorry... I know that I should tell him to leave you alone... But I'm scared... " she whispered, now in English.
"I can handle him... You know I can... It's not a problem... I mean it."
"It is a problem! A big one! He hits you! And he arranged so that you got those stupid pills and everything! I wanted to have a family, but he keeps pushing you away and... And you're my real family! You're my son... And those pills... I think they make you someone you're not!"
Now she was crying.
It happened a lot these days.
"Mom... I'm fine, okay! And the pills... They don't change me... I'm still your baby... "
Now he heard Tunny laugh in the living room.
He held his hand over the phone.
"Tunny you bastard, don't listen!" he yelled.
"Sorry... Ha! Moms little baby!" he yelled back.
"Shut up!"
Then he took the phone again.
"Sorry mom, I had to tell Tunny that it's not nice to listen to other peoples conversations... "
"Ha... Okay... Say hi from me... " she giggled.
"I will... "
"Jesus... I have to go... But we'll talk when we get home... Okay?"
"Okay. Bye mom."
"Bye hun."
He put down the phone and went in to the living room.
"Mom says hi... " he said to Tunny. "And stop listening to me when I'm on the phone!"
"I can't help it... "
Jesus just sighed.
And he was just going to sit down and watch the movie when it called again.
"What the...?" he said and went to the phone again. "Hello, Jesus here... "
"Hi... I just called to tell you to meet me at the party instead... " it was Jess. "I must work a bit longer then I'll come to meet you okay?"
"Okay... "
"Okay... You know my friend Linda?"
"Yep."
"You know were she lives?"
"Yeah... "
"Okay, that's where the party is. Just say that you're a friend of me... "
"Alright... Oh, and can Tunny come too? He said that he had planes but I know that he's lying... "
"Hey!" Tunny yelled from the sofa.
"Yeah I think so... Well, see you guys there!"
Then she hung up.
Stressed...
"We're going somewhere?" Tunny asked.
"Yeah, one of Jess's friends got a party tonight... You know Linda?"
"Yeah... She's hot!"
Jesus agreed and sat down.
After some hours of talking, watching bad movies and eating cold pizza they left for the party.
"Oh, wait! Got to get my cell!" Jesus said and went too his room to fetch the cell phone.
And to put on some eyeliner...
Tunny always teased him for that but he liked to wear it...
And of course Tunny said something when Jesus walked down the stairs.
"Oh, hi miss... Oh, wait! It's Jesus! Man I just thought you were an ugly girl!"
"Ha, ha... Very funny! And I'm not ugly!"
Jesus looked at it.
"Yeah I did that one... " he answered.
"Who's Saint Jimmy? I mean it looks like you... " Tunny continued.
"He's... He's the son of a gun... Literally! I made him up after my father was shot... He's one of my cartoons. He's brave and cool and not scared of anything... " Jesus said as he touched the painting.
