'Cause Now I Know It's All That I Wanted, chapter 7
After our little "discussion", I finally went home. When we got there, I found Dad with his arms around Larissa and an empty beer bottle in one hand. I laughed and took the bottle and threw it away, causing it to crash and wake up Dad. He jumped and I cackled as he just glared at me. I fell on couch on Billie Joe, he grunted as I landed on me and glared at me. I smirked.
"Jeez you're being annoying today," Mike said to me.
"Oh really?" I asked as everyone nodded, even Larissa. I whispered something into Mike's ear and Dad glared at Mike as his grin got bigger.
"What did you say?" Dad asked as I shrugged and sat on Mike's lap.
I didn't know why, but I was super bored so I went for a walk with someone following me, probably Mike. I turned around and saw that it was Billie Joe, I smiled and nodded at him as we walked to the park.
"I'm dying my hair," I said randomly. Billie Joe laughed at me and looked at my hair. "What color?" he asked me.
"I don't know, but I'm dying it, I'm sick of brown, it's too plain."
"Ok," he simply said. I saw some people break dancing to "My Humps." I laughed as others failed and finally some came up to me, and they didn't look happy. They were walking up to me and Billie Joe, Billie Joe looked scared but I stood my ground, I had my pocket knife with me so I wasn't way too scared.
They were trying to be thugs, but they were all white so they couldn't, one I remembered from the orphanage, we were good friends actually, I wonder if he remembered me. They come over with their sunglasses and hats on sideways. The one I remembered came up to me and lowered his glasses, once he saw me, his eyes widened.
"India?" he managed to squeak out, I nodded and laughed at his expression. I took his sunglasses and put them on like I used to always do. "This your boyfriend?" he asked jerking his chin at Billie Joe. I laughed and shook my head.
"No, I am!" I heard a voice say. I lowered the sunglasses and turned my head to face Mike.
"Baby!" I squealed and he laughed as he looked at the guy from the orphange.
"Hun, who's this?" he asked me. I turned to him and laughed, "this is Scott, he took care of me when I was helpless in the orphange."
"Oh, so I should be giving him my thanks?" he asked me, I shrugged as Scott looked nervous. I put my hand on his shoulder and he relaxed. He looked me in the eyes.
"Aww, I'm glad your happy for me India, I'm glad for you too but this guys look old enough to be your fathers," he sighed while shaking his head. Mike and Billie Joe charged him and I held them back. "Don't ever insult them again Scott, I don't care if you used to be my friend, don't ever insult my boyfriend again!" I yelled.
"Aww boo, your eyes are turning green, I love it when you're mad," he said while rubbing my thigh. I pushed him off and he came back. He put his arm around my waist and nuzzled my neck, "when are you going to come back to me babycakes? We all miss you," he said. Mike knew this was my battle as I pushed him off.
"Who's we? You and your slut? Last time I met her she gave me this," I said while pulling my pant leg and showed him a scar that made everyone's eyes widen. I smirked and smacked Scott's mouth shut. "Ok, well.... do me a favor," he pleaded. I looked at him with curious eyes. "One more dance off, one more, for old times sake," he pleaded. "Who am I dancing with?" I asked and his smile widened, "me, no one can teach me, they're used to the guy taking the lead, remember those old times? I was your partner?"
I laughed at the old times when the orphange was all the rampage with dance offs and Scott was always my partner as I taught him to dance so he was used to only following. We always won, but then I turned punk, I never went to another dance off and Scott got adopted when we were 15. I nodded and jerked my head where Billie Joe and Mike needed to follow me and watch me dance.
It was the last dance, I was dripping with sweat and so was Scott. Mike was worried and Billie Joe was fixing to kill because they were insulting me. I decided to take off my hoodie and everyone just stared at my Rolling Stones shirt, it was all clingy and I was all sweaty. There was a song that we had to do with partners and one by yourself. I got out a coin and said, "ok, heads is by yourself, tails is with your partners," I flipped the coin and it came out heads. The other girl was getting a grunge because I had the hot boyfriend and Scott was drooling over me. She put in a stupid Shakira CD, she put it on "Hips Don't Lie," she did her stupid routine, I scoffed and rolled my eyes and did a better routine of the song. Now this girl seriously wanted to kill me. "That's our champion Sha-sha, she's jealous of you now, be careful India," Scott warned. I nodded and started to dance with Scott, we had won.
"I don't like them," Mike said while we were heading home.
"Your not supposed to like them," I acknowledged him.
"I don't like that Scott person."
"He is a little bit nasty, you get used to him."
"Don't tell me your going back to him," Billie Joe and Mike begged. I laughed but shook my head and hugged Mike.
We got back to the house and I saw an umfamiliar car in the driveway but Mike and Billie Joe looked at each other excitedly.
"I didn't know they were coming this soon, let's go!" Billie Joe yelled out. I laughed as Mike ran after him and opened the door as I simply walked and came into the kitchen. I saw about 5 other men in the house, they were all familiar but where, I couldn't tell. The tallest one examined me from head to toe and made me fell uncomfortable. They were all smoking, I grabbed Mike's cigarette and took a puff and handed it back to him, it went down really smoothly. He smiled at me and I leaned against him.
"Um, Dad, mind telling me who are this people in my house?" I asked him. The five, familiar people all coughed at the same time and almost choked. The tall one began to talk, "Tre'? Did this woman just call you Dad?" Tre' nodded, not in the least bit phased which I was glad he wasn't embarrassed of me.
"So I guess I don't get a chance with her?" he said while putting his hand on my shoulder, that made me uncomfortable. I grabbed my pocket knife and pulled it out, Tre' grabbed my hand and shook his head but I still kept it out. I looked at Mike for help but he had to use the bathroom so I turned to Billie Joe. He was on his phone. Mike finally came out of the bathroom and looked at the tall one, then at me and my knife and busting out laughing. He turned to the tall and jerked his head to my hand where the knife was. He looked at the knife and backed off, "thank you," I mumbled as I put away the knife. "So I don't get a chance with you?" he asked me and Mike looked at him like he was about to take the knife and stab him by himself.
"Gerard, back off of my woman," he said as calmly as he could. I laughed and hugged Mike as tightly as I could, "hun, I was only gone for about 5 minutes, but I know how Gerard can get pretty scary," he laughed. The one named Gerard stuck out his tongue and then I realized who all of this people were. "Oh my freaking gosh!" I laughed out. They all looked at me.
"I just pulled my freaking knife out on Gerard Way!" I said and they all nodded at me. "Please don't kill me!" I yelled while hiding behind Mike and everyone laughed at me. "Don't worry, you didn't know who I was, which is a surprise since you see us all the time on the internet," he said while scratching his head. "Well, we didn't have computers at the orphanage," I said. They all understood and nodded, "why are you so hot and sweaty, it's like not even sixty degrees out there," Mikey Way asked me. Mike put his arm around me, "she's had a long day," he said. "What happened?" Frank Iero asked me. I looked at all of them and saw they were very worried, why?
"I met some of my old friends and we had a dance off," I said. They all sighed and I just looked confused and Dad looked at me. "What friend? What kind of dancing? Who was dancing with my daughter? Who was he?" he kept asking me but finally Bob Bryer put a hand over his mouth, I thanked him and answered all of his questions.
"My friend Scott, who took care of me when I was in the orphange, it was a regular dance off, Scott was dancing with me ok?" I said it all in under 2 seconds and everyone stared at me. "What?" I giggled. Frank Iero kept staring at me and I just smiled at him and he chuckled nervously and Mike gave him 'I'll kill you if you stare at my woman' look to everyone especially Gerard and Frank but I just cuddled up to him. He looked at me and laughed. "Are you guys staying the night?" Billie Joe asked everyone.
They all shrugged at the same time and finally Frank Iero spoke up, "only if Tre' well let us and if....." he stopped and looked at me, waiting for my name, "oh, India," I said holding out my hand, he kissed and continued, "if Tre' and the gorgeous India would let us stay, then we will." I tried to take my hand away from Frank Iero but Gerard finally had to break it apart and gave him a warning glance as I cuddled to Mike.
*Later That Night*
"Do you guys want anything else?" I asked all of them as they shook their heads. I nodded and sat in between Mike's lap as I popped in a DVD.
"Whadda pick?" Mikey Way asked me. I made a gesture to be quiet as "Meet Joe Black" came on and everyone groaned. I laughed and so did Mike as everyone had to tolerate it. I didn't cry in the movie but Frank Iero was getting misty eyed and Mikey Way looked like he was about to get a tear or two.
After the movie, we decided to play Truth or Dare. Everyone came up with the weirdest dares. Frank Iero went first and asked me an awkward question.
"India, you know Scott?" I nodded and he continued, "ever done him?" I gave him an evil glare while everyone had spit out their drinks while awaiting my answer.
"Yes, yes I have," I replied.
"Jeez you're being annoying today," Mike said to me.
"Oh really?" I asked as everyone nodded, even Larissa. I whispered something into Mike's ear and Dad glared at Mike as his grin got bigger.
