Time lies., chapter 2
We stopped out in front of my house. His eyes followed me out the door and to my front stairs. "Kristie! Here's my number," Benji yelled out.
"Thanks, I'll ring tomorrow," I yelled back. I walked inside and to the lounge room. As I sat on the lounge I saw Lila saying goodbye to Paul. She really liked him. I could tell. I flicked on the T.V and saw Family guy was on. I normally watched family guy when I was depressed. I had a great night with a raging concert and cheese pizza with a really nice guy who also gave me his number. I was so happy.
"Hey sister friend," Lila sighed happily and sat next to me.
"Had a good night?" I asked.
"Of course," She smiled and flopped her head onto my shoulder.
"So tired," I whined.
"Go to sleep," Lila said like a smart ass. I smiled sarcastically and tapped her shoulder. She laughed as I got up and walked towards my bedroom, which was down stairs.
"Sleep tight bubby bub," Lila sighed. I shut the door behind me and jumped on my bed. I know I might be a 21 year old but I still had posters and normal teen stuff around my room. Well punky teen stuff. I flopped on my un made bed. Posters of Green Day, Simple Plan, AFI, Grinspoon, Blink 182, and of course Good Charlotte and other bands looked down at me. I breathed in deep.
"Kristie! Where is the remote?" I heard Lila yell. I didn't yell back but instead walked into my bathroom.
"Hey, Sister Friend," I heard the voice shake me but I rolled over.
"Another five minutes," I mumbled.
"KRIS! SOMEONE'S ON THE PHONE FOR YOU!" Lila finally threw the phone at me and walked off.
"He... Hello?" I asked.
"Hey Kristie? Lila answered. Are you ok?" The voice asked.
"She only answered cause I sleep in on Saturday, Sundays, and well everyday. Who is this anyway?" I answered.
"Benji," They answered. I smiled.
"Cool. What's up?"
"Nothin'. That's why I'm ringing. The concert for Sydney was cancelled for a week cause of rain or something, and I'm staying in town for another night. Wanna come out with me and Paul and who ever else want to come?"
"Sure. Can Lila come?"
"Yeah ok, Seeya tonight," Benji flicked off his phone. I dropped the phone down on to the bed.
"Lila, we're goin out tonight," I said as I stood up.
"Really? Who with?"
"Paul and Benji," I smiled and she screamed.
"Really? Oh my god! Paul... did he ask?"
"No. Benji did. I think Paul's a bit shy,"
"Oh, well I'm coming tonight ok," Lila stormed into the kitchen.
I waited out side in the cold. Dark rain clouds became visible and the sun slowly went down and Lila locked the front door.
"Do you think their not comin?" Lila asked. I hoped Benji and Paul were.
"Yes they said they were comin. Get off ma back!" I snapped. Lila went silent. I felt bad about snapping at my bestie but she could really get annoying. We waited in silence. Suddenly head lights from around the corner swerved towards us.
"Here we are. Come on, get in," Benji gestured to the back door.
"Thank you," I said sweetly. He smiled and I melted. I sat next to him to the movie theater.
"So what movie is on the agenda?" Paul asked.
"Funny ones!" I jumped excitedly.
"Well hows about this Adam Sandler one?" Benji looked at me.
"Nah, I changed my mind. Scary movies tonight. Why you might ask me if you get the chance, because there Lila's fave movies so that is why," I blurted out.
"Ok," Paul said in a strange voice. Benji laughed but for some reason I felt cut.
"Popcorn time," Paul said after we got he tickets for Omen (the re-make) and him and Benji bought popcorn and skittles.
"It's so different over here when you're trying to get stuff for the movies. There isn't even butter to put on the popcorn," Paul whined.
"That's life. But it's all cause of health regulations," Lila whined back. Her and Paul looked sweet together.
"You violated our rules Miss Harris," said the manager.
"But that dude wouldn't shut up!" I screamed.
"Your lucky I'm not telling your mother about this,"
"Well you al ways tell her and what she gunna do? I don't live with you any more and don't call me miss Harris! You've lived in the same house as me for sixteen years!" Benji slinked against the wall. Paul and Lila were sitting next to each other on the floor.
"Look I'm leaving Craig. You ruined my childhood and now your ruining time out with my friends. Get rooted you old fag!" I yelled and walked out the door. Benji ran after me.
"You know him?" he asked.
"Yep, he's my step dad. I wasn't allowed to see my real dad and when my dad died in the car accident I wasn't allowed to go to funeral. But they told me nearly a year after he did die. He controlled my life and my sister and brothers. My mum found drugs and didn't care what happened to me and my twin or my big sis. She just gave up," I answered.
"Where were you and brother connected?"
"Upper arm. That's why I don't wear short sleeves,"
"You said your bro nearly died,"
"He did. He has a heart problem. His heart beat is irregular and when he woke up on the table just as the were cutting us apart. He had a fit cause he went into a stage of fright and then his heart stopped beating. That's what happened," I looked at him to see he was staring at me.
"I'm sorry,"
"Don't be. He's alive now, and I'm thankful," I smiled but I think he saw straight through it.
"Well wanna get a bite to eat?" he asked.
"Yeah ok,"
"Wanna wait for Paul and Lila?"
"Nah, she'll come home tonight,"
"I feel I know you," Benji whispered into my ear as I hugged him tight.
"Me to, I'm glad I met you," I whispered back. We pulled away.
"Call me tomorrow cause were in town for another couple of days," he smiled.
"Yeah, talk tomorrow," I walked in side. Lila was home because he jacket laid on the lounge. Banging started up stairs. I walked into my bedroom and slammed the door. The banging stopped. I curled up in Benji's jacket that he gave me, and fell asleep.
"Thanks, I'll ring tomorrow," I yelled back. I walked inside and to the lounge room. As I sat on the lounge I saw Lila saying goodbye to Paul. She really liked him. I could tell.
