Time lies., chapter 5
Benji and me were walking to the shop corner. I had Benji's jacket on and I was in the cloths I had been in for a week. It was embarrassing but I tried to cover it up as much as I could.
"Hey, how will ya mates be about me being with ya?" Benji asked. I thought. I knew for a fact they were going to be pissed but they'll like him.
"Hi Kris. Haven't seen ya in a bit, how are ya?" Johnny hugged me.
"Um been busy. This is Benji," I introduced Benji to Johnny.
"So... you two are, together?" Johnny asked.
"You can put it that way," I smiled. Johnny smiled back and started to talk to Benji.
"Look boy's, I'm only getting food," I said walking into the shop.
"So Johnny, why do you call yourself the Vampire clan? A bit strange if you ask me," Benji scoffed.
"Because, let Kristie tell ya. It's up to her for you to know," sighed Johnny. Benji was confused.
"Come on Benji, I'll see ya tomorrow Johnny," I waved.
"So is that the only other one who sits up there with you?" Benji asked.
"No. The rest of them probably aren't awake yet. They always get there at about lunch time though," I said.
"Why are you called the vampire clan?" I stopped.
"Uh... Benji, we need to talk. But not now at home," I stuttered out.
I sat on the lounge looking at him. Feeling scared and afraid.
"Well... I... I am a vampire," I said in a shaky voice. Benji's eyes widened.
"But how?" he asked.
"I don't know! Please, please don't leave me!" I cried out. Tears flowed down my face.
"I won't. Just how?" He asked again.
"When I was young me and Ben were messing about, acting stupid and I can't remember the rest," I was still crying.
"This... this is unbelievable. I don't want to leave though,"
"Don't! Please don't. We can work it out, I'm just begging you stay with me cause I feel I know you and we are supposed to be with each other! Please stay and work it out with me!" I begged. I sobbed. I felt his hand land on my knee.
"I won't. This is not an excuse to leave you. Sure you may eat something or me like that but in the end I'm sure it'll be worthwhile. I won't leave you," Benji pulled me in and hugged me tight. I was glad he took it good. He meant everything to me.
I sat on the lounge covered in a blanket. Mum and Ben were up from south Australia but I didn't feel very homey. Benji had been at home for a week now and I started to miss him. Lila sat next to me.
"Hey love. Your missin him hey?" she asked.
"Yes, I miss him," I flopped my head on her shoulder.
"Go up and see the crew. They were askin bout ya yesterday," Lila demanded. I sighed and got dressed into something so I wasn't in the clothes I was in for nearly two weeks.
"KRISTIE!" Johnny yelled. I smiled and hugged him.
"You have been gone for so long Kris. Why?" Johnny asked.
"Benji went home," I answered.
"Oh... sorry. Do you want a drink?" Johnny held up a Jim beam. I nodded and he through it at me.
I heard Benji cry. Warm tears flowed down his precious brown eyes. He was screaming. 'How could you Kristie?' was all I could hear. I had hurt him. He would never forgive me, never trust me again. I was sobbing begging for forgiveness. He punched the wall and fell on the ground next to me.
I sat at home in my bedroom. I had been crying. How could I? Johnny was my friend and I slept with him and I betrayed Benji. What was he going to do?
"Kristie... do you want to talk?" Mum came into the room. Tears started to come out.
"He pushed me and pushed me to doing it. He basically forced it on me. Benji's gunna leave me and it's all cause of some selfish bastard who was jealous. Johnny has ruined my life!" I sobbed to mum. She sat next to me and hugged me.
"Benji loves you and you explain it to him. Tell him it wasn't your fault. He'll forgive you," she rubbed my back and pulled away to look at me.
"Don't tell him who it was though cause Benji will kill him," she said. I turned into my pillow and sighed.
"Mum, how come this always happens? I love Benji! And I ruined it," I cried. Mum rubbed my back.
"Hun... he'll understand," mum stopped rubbing my back and left the room. I still laid and cried.
"Hey Kris?" Lila whispered softly.
"Yes," I groaned.
"Benji's on the phone," she handed it over to me. I looked at her. She shook her head knowing I was thinking about what to tell Benji.
"Should I?" I whispered.
"No," she whispered back and sat on the end of my bed. I put the phone to my ear.
"Hey," I said trying to sound happy.
"Hey babe. I'm off tour for a few weeks, can I come stay with you?" Benji asked. My eyes widened.
"Uh, just a sec I got a call waiting," I put him on hold. I looked at Lila with terror.
"He wants to come stay," I blurted out.
"Let him, tell him to bring Paul," Lila smiled. I moaned and clicked the phone back off hold.
"Wrong number, what did u ask before I had to leave ya hanging?" I asked.
"If I could go to your place? Please?" he begged.
"Sure, bring Paul with you, Lila's hanging to see him," I smiled and she pretended to faint.
"Yeah, um that's something I want you to talk to Lila about," Benji said sounding worried.
"Tell me,"
"Paul was only with Lila for a good time. Uh... he still wants to be friends but he just can't have a committed relationship," he blurted out. I had my mouth wide open.
"Oh... I'll tell her. Just hold on for a sec," I put the phone down and looked at Lila who now had a worried look on her face.
"Lila, honey don't get upset please, Paul... he only used you for a good time. I'm sorry you have to hear it. But... he wants to stay friends," I said slowly. When I finished her eyes slowly filled up.
"Friends don't boink each other tell him that one!" she snapped.
"Lila, please don't cry!" I begged. Lila ran out of the room. I sighed and picked up the phone.
"She took that well,"
"Sounded it, tell her Billy wants to meet her,"
"Did you just notice what happened to her?" I asked.
"Yes, but I don't want your friend feeling like shit cause of my dumb ass friend who does this to every girl he lays his eyes on to, just tell her," he pleaded.
"Ok, ok. When are you gunna be here?" I asked changing the subject.
"In two days,"
"Ok, see ya then,"
"Ok, love ya," I stopped.
"Uh... love ya to," I said back. I hung up the phone. I didn't feel right. Him saying he loves me just didn't feel right. After what I did. I jumped up and went to Lila who was in the kitchen.
"Lila?" I asked unsure if she'd punch me or start crying.
"I know I shouldn't be sad, we weren't together that long. But it's the fact he used me for fun. Now he wants to be my friend?! What a wanker," she said through a mouth full of chocolate.
"Yeah, I know. Do you want to meet Billy?" I asked.
"I did,"
"I know that dumb ass, I mean like get to know him better,"
"Oh, does he know what I just went through?"
"I asked that and he said yes but he really wants to meet you," Lila sat in thought for a minute.
"Ok. I'll meet him," she smiled. Chocolate spread across her normally white teeth.
"I still feel like shit," she pouted.
"You will," I said as I walked over and gave her a hug.
I waited out side the airport for Benji and Billy to turn up. I had sat there for an hour but they said they were coming.
"Can we just go home until they ring us to say there here?" Lila asked fidgeting.
"No, we have to stay here," I answered. We sat on the bench that had just been vacated.
"We've been here for over an hour!" Lila kept complaining.
"Go home then. I'm quite capable of waiting by myself,"
"No, I don't want you getting hurt if you are left here by yourself! Txt him and tell him to ring when he gets here," Lila demanded.
"Ok then," I pulled out my phone and Txted him.
"Come on lets go," I jumped up and walked towards the door when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Malady, I am standing right behind you," I looked behind me to find Benji and Billy standing there. I jumped into Benji's arms.
"Hey babe," I whispered into his ear.
"I missed you," he said back. I pulled away to find Billy and Lila talking away. Benji grabbed my hand.
"Come on, lets get home," I said smiling at Lila. On the way home Billy and Lila wouldn't shut up. They just kept talking and talking.
"Hey, how will ya mates be about me being with ya?" Benji asked. I thought. I knew for a fact they were going to be pissed but they'll like him.
"Hi Kris. Haven't seen ya in a bit, how are ya?" Johnny hugged me.
