thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box

Jul 29, 2005 20:43

It was nice to get some sleep finally, thanks to Jenny. Didn't exactly appreciate the whole jumping on me part, but I know she means well. I've made progress, such as getting up and eating food. Jen tried to push me to a movie but I couldn't. Somehow sitting in a dark theater watching boring pictures is just going to get me thinking again, which I' ( Read more... )

Okay, time to bite the bullet. I've been puttin' this off, but I should just get it over with. I've been avoidin' Jordan long enough.

Had to look him up in the phonebook to find out his address. I figure he's prob'ly moping at home like I've been doin' a lot of lately. Sighing under my breath, I ring the bell.

He's not going to answer the door, I know that much. I don't exactly know who it would be, no one knows or cares where I live, and Taffy's not exactly around to physically ring the bell. Getting up from the couch, I open the door to find a good looking guy around Jor's age standing there looking pretty uncomfortable. "Hey. Um...can I help you?"

"Hi," I say, tryin' to look like an adult and not a kid who got detention or somethin'. "Is, uh, Jordan here?"

Looks like mopey boy's got a visitor. "Yeah, he's hiding in his room. Come on in." I say smiling, holding open the door for him to step inside. I think I've seen him at school, maybe with the construction crew. Girls are always talking about him and my brother, I find it really annoying. Not that he's devastatingly ugly or anything. Er, at all. "Lemme go get 'em."

Walking across the living room and right into his room, I decide not to jump on him this time. Thinking for a second maybe he's sleeping, I lightly rock his shoulder back and forth, but then I see his open eyes. "Hot guy's here for you." I say, grinning.

I'm silent as she approaches me, trying to act asleep but failing. I heard Stefan's voice from all the way across the apartment, but wasn't actually thinking of going to talk to him. I can't even get to my car, how can I talk to a guy who's going to possibly kill me?

Still not saying anything, I sit up and pull the covers off of me, just wearing a wife beater and baggy sweatpants. Putting my bare feet on the floor, I lean on them and finally stand up, stretching my muscles for the first time in a little while. Rubbing my eyes, I exit my room to face Stefan.

Damn, he looks like hell. I'm silent as he approaches, then I say, "Hey." Somehow, I'm not as pissed as I was at him; could be that it's obvious he's punished himself already more than anyone else ever could.

As usual lately, I have to get used to standing up again. I hold a hand out to place my palm against the wall, leaning against it. My eyes are looking down, but I raise them to meet his after a couple seconds. "Stefan...hey, I was just...tired." I try to smile, and it's not working so I'm back to a blank expression.

jenny_mcevans July 30 2005, 03:42:23 UTC

Yikes. Some people need to talk. And I thought I was pathetic. Ah well, gotta happen sometime. Grabbing my jacket off the coat rack, I open the door again. "Yeah, I'll be back Jor. Don't be too depressing and weird while I'm gone." And with that, I'm out.

stefan_d July 30 2005, 03:46:03 UTC

I watch her leave, and then turn back to Jordan. "Your sis, I guess. I got one kinda like that. Irritating as hell sometimes, huh?" I perch on the arm of the couch, lookin' at him. "Doesn't look like you're doin' too good, buddy."

jordan_mcevans July 30 2005, 03:52:16 UTC

I'm still leaning against the wall, breathing maybe a little faster than normal. Guess it's just different actually seeing him and having a civil conversation. I really thought he'd be punching me by now. I messed up, badly. I promised him.

I listen to the comment about Jenny. Irritating, but I love her. If she weren't here now I'd probably still be a vegetable on my bed. I then hear his other words, about me. No use in lying. "No. Though it's hard to be overly cheery at a time like this." I say, maybe a little more sarcastically than I meant.
