The Drive There

   So if you don't know, me, Brook, Jamie, and Evie drove to the grand canyon.... It was a looooong drive.... Especially with them in the car with me. So I went over to Jamies house at 5:30 pm since she wanted to take her car. I helped her load her stuff. What was she bringing? Bricks to build a house? I had my duffle bag. We started off and picked up Evie next. Her stuff wasn't that much lighter than Jamies. Lastly we went to Brooks. I answered the door and she said hello with a kiss. I carried her stuff too..... What is with girls' stuff? What do they have that makes it so heavy? We stopped at the store to get some stuff and we started off. Jamie drove. Evie was up front with her and me and Brook in the back.  We made out a bit til Jamie yelled at us. Thanks Jamies -.- so for the next 2 hours we talked and Evie mostly stuck her head out the window. :D it was pretty cool so I tried it but stopped cause it was messing up my hair. Jamie hit 3 garbage bins, 2 mail boxes and a squirrel. We stopped once or twice. I think they were gonna thro me and evie outta the store cause we were fooling around with the produce, while Brook and Jamie waited in the car. This time I drove. I kinda tuned out what they were saying for about an hour. I was at a stop light when I saw these guys. They tried to look tuff and I did too. They started yelling things and I could tell that they wanted to race. I really wanted to. I hesitated. But then I yelled back to everyone,"Hold on!" I looked at those guys and nodded telling them yes. The light turned and we took off. I won :D after Everyone except Evie started yelling me. Whatever. We drove alittle bit. It was really hot and aperently Jamie and evie had a kiddie pool. We used some guys water and filled it up and used it. I got attacked by everyone in the end when they dumped the whole kiddie pool on my head. Soaking I got in the car and drove off with out them they ran after me. After 5 min I circled around and picked them up and laughed. They weren't so happy. The rest of the way I got lectured but I tuned them out after "Austin you can't just...." I was so releived when we got there. 

My side of the story

Brook was over and we where watching a movie and we invited Jamie to come over and watch it with us. Her condition? We couldn't make out in front of her. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it cause I thought it was Jamie. I opened it and I was caught off guard by Johnny and pony pelting me with waterballoons. I wouldn't of minded so much if I knew we were having a waterballoon war. "WTF?" you messed up my hair!" "Sorry." Johnny said. I lightly punched pony in the gut but it was a little harder than I thought cause he fell on the ground. "Sorry." I faced Johnny. "he's not so strong for a greaser is he?" I said jokingly. I then saw Jamie walking on the sidewalk. Well not for long cause the next thing I know is he punched me in the nose. He's got some power there for a little fellow. I felt blood start to come down my face. Jamie saw this part of the conversation and didn't seem to happy. I told her that johnny punched me in the nose. She got mad at him and I felt kinda bad. Pony insisted on waiting outside until Johnny came back. We went inside and brook saw me and freaked. "Austin?!? What happened?!?" "Your brother punched me" "What?!?" "Yea he just left." "Why would he punch you?" asked Jamie. "Oh cause I punched Pony in the gut." They didn't like that. "WTF?!" they said at the same time. Brook got off the couch and slapped me. It hurt cause of my nose ingury. "Why in the whole world would you do that?!?" "Cause they pelted me with water balloons." I then got a ten minute lecture on how you can't just go around Punching ppl in the gut and how being pelted by waterballoons is not a good reason to punch pony in the stomach. (which I thought was a very good reason) "I feel terrible! I have to go apologize to Johnny!" said Jamie and she left with pony to go find him. "Why did they pelt me with water balloons anyways?" "I think I know......" "You do? Tell me!" "I never told him that we got back together.... I was planning on telling him today. He was trying to be a good brother." That didn't make me feel too well. "Im gonna go back to my place Austin and wait for him. I'll see you tommarow." "Ok." She kissed me and left.

Flashback

Today is the 5 yr anniversary of my dad's death. Sad after yesterday our grandparents coming over. I got up this morning and started getting dressed. I ate my breakfast early and left out the door. Before I left tho I noticed mom was there looking at the paper. She seemed tense. Like she always did since dad died. It was like looking at someone who wasn't my mom but at the same time was. she hadn't asked to be a dingle parent. She didn't ask to have 4 imature teenage sons. But that's what happened. Brook called she wanted to hang out but I told her I couldn't today and why. She wanted to come with but I told her no and that if I had time I'd come see her. Today i did what I always do on my Dad's death, go to all tge places that still reminded my of him. I first went to his favorite coffe shop since he was crazy about coffe. I looked in the window and could see my dad there at his favorite seat drinking his coffe ( double cream double sugar) and checking out the sport scores on the TVs. I remember how sometimes he'd take me and/or Kyle with him. I got some coffe and left the shop. Next was where my dad worked. It was an office nothing fancy but I liked to go there cause it was always busy. Since no one else in ourfamily liked it, on every take your son to work day I'd go with him. I walked through the doors and went to the secretary's desk. The lady at the desk saw me and frowned. I knew her. She knew my dad. " Oh is that today???" she knew I came here every year. "yea it is" "there's a meeting up there so don't take long ok? Here's your visitors pass" I took it "thanks I won't" "I'm sorry bout your dad" "that's ok" I left and went up the elevator to floor 5. Ibwent to my dads desk and looked at it. There was new stuff on it cause someone was using it but it was the same desk with the same computer with the same phone with the same chair. I sat in it and twirled around a couple times like I did when I came her with my dad. I then heard someone coming and I ran put and headed tward Brooks house. On the way I stopped at the cemetry to visit my dad. It was short I put his favorite candies there and dug his favorite baseball card in the ground next to his grave. Then headed for Brooks. I thought that maybe she could cheer me up alittle. I went over there and she was really happy I raided their fridge while she was telling me bout something I don't remember cause I wasn't really listening. Then I sat on her porch and she sat with me. She put her head on my shoulder and she started to ask questions about my dad. I didn't want to answer them, I didn't want to tell her about the night I found out. I didn't want to tell her about how he loved baseball and sports. I just didn't want to. I was t in the mood. She started to push it so I got up abd left. She looked at me and said, "where you going?" "I'm late" I said as I left. I walked home for dinner. I imagined dad and celab playing catch in the front lawn like they always did before dinner. We ate dinner in silence. This table was the very table that I got the news my dad was dead. I remember that night I was thinking about the take your son to work day the next day. I got up in the middle of that night because of noises I heard in the kitchen. I got up and there was my mother crying like there was no tommarow. I asked her what was wrong and she told me to sit down. That's when she told me that dad had been mugged and killed in the procsess. I ran I ran to the park I ran away for days. Finally I came home. We moved around alittle bit and since I wasn't taking his death well mom sent me to boarding school for a couple years. I got up and left for the park it was sunset and gonna be dark soon. I sat down next to where I used to sit with my dad. We'd look at the stars and make our own constellations and then map them on a sheet of paper (which I still had) and then we'd find them months later. It wasn't weird it was just what we did together. I looked up at the stars and started making out constelations and mapimg them out just like my dad showed me. Eventuly I fell asleep. When I woke up it was nearly morning. I woke up to someone screaming my name. It was brook and celab. "I'd thought you'd be here" celab said. "you thought right" "austin! " brook hugged me. "I thought the socs got you" "no way! I'm Austin remember?" I got up and we walked home.

My Date With Brook, Sammy, and Some Socs

I went to pick up Brook for our date yesterday at 5. I parked and took a minute to make sure i looked good. Which i did of course :P I was wearing my favorite lucky leather jacket with all its straps hanging down and a T-shirt under it that said " I'm awesomer than you and you know it" and my favorite jeans. I got out out of the car and knocked on the door. I expected Brook to be standing at the door excited with that big smile she always has on her face when she sees me. But i was shocked to see another guy about brooks age there. I put on my tough look that i always do when i meet new people. He looked me over. Finally he said, " What do you want?" "I'm here to see Bro-" Then Brook pushed him outta the way and hugged me. "Austin!" "Hey babe..." I said. Brook musta saw me looking at the guy cause she said alittle bit of disgust, "Austin this is my step brother, Sammy. Sammy this is my boyfriend, Austin." "I didn't know you had a step brother." I said. "Neither did I until yesterday" "Where you guys going?" said Sammy. " Its a secret." i said. "Can i tag along?" i didn't really want him to. "umm Sure." We drove for awhile until i got to a nice clearing in the park in the woods. I set up a picnic and luckily i had enough for Sammy. Me and Brook did our romantic thing talked made out for a bit ate. At one point we had a food fight and i accidentally hit Sammy. He got up tried to hit me but missed and got Brook. It was some fun. After when we getting ourselves cleaned up i talked to Sammy a bit and we seemed to like a lot of the same stuff. He was pretty cool. But he wasn't really greaser material. Apparently he couldn't fight. So i told him I'd teach him since i was gonna help brook fight better too. So we went to a field and started training. "the trick is to keep dodging until you get them where you want em. Ill show you. Keep punching me." He punched. I dodged. Punch, Dodge, punch, dodge, punch dodge. Until he punched and his arm was right next to me i took it and without hurting him, twisted it over his head and put him in a headlock. " Other trick is to not be where your enemy wants you." After alittle more training and some with brook. Dally was a pretty good teacher but he forgot that Brook isn't really strong like a guy.( And he was right, she was punching all wrong) I taught her how to defend herself then get away. They both were getting pretty good. We decided to go to the carnival cause it was still in town. We went on rides and Brook came into the Haunted house with me. Best idea ever cause she held onto me the whole time. :D we had a blast. Then when we were walking back to the car, Socs came. not too many just 7. "What do you want?" i asked them. I could feel Brook standing behind me and grabbing onto my shirt. "We just wanted to see why two greasers and a pretty girl are on our turf." one said. "Well we went to the carnival. And we are leaving." i said calmly. "Not after this" he said. He tried to punch me in the face but i grabbed his arm and flipped him. They started to to attack us and i was pleased to see Brook punch on in the face. Sammy was doing pretty good but we couldn't hold them off forever, so we ran and drove off. I dropped both of them off and i gave Brook a smile as she walked into the house.

Are You Ready to Rumble!?!?!?!

People In this post: (tell me if i missed anyone who commented on my FB status, some ppl i added in to this post anyways cause i needed more ppl)
Carson Cristy Scott Bre Jamie Elena Brook Johnny Two-bit Pony Me

We decided to have a football game at the park's football field, the day before Johnny and Cristy left. I found an old football in my garage we could use. We said be there bout five. I put on a pair of old jeans and a T-shirt. When i got there a little before five, some people were already there. I warmed up with johnny by throwing the ball around. When Jamie and Brook got there i noticed tat they were in their cheer leading uniforms. " How you gonna play in that?" I stupidly asked. Jamie gave me that "you're so stupid" look that she gives me all the time. " We are not playing Tinman. We are cheer leading." she said. " oohhh that makes more sense." Then she ran over to Johnny. "I think you look great in that case." I told Brook. She smiled kiss me on the cheek and ran off to find Jamie. When everyone else arrived we settled the teams and the rules. I wanted it to be tackle but the girls looked at me like i was crazy so it was two hand touch. I still was gonna tackle some guys. The game would last an hour. On my team was Johnny, Carson, and Pony. On Johnny's request we were called the Muffins. The other team had Scott, Two-bit, Cristy, and Elena. Cristy seeing we were the Muffins, insisted that her team be called the Cupcakes. We started the game. Bre said she didn't want to play so she sat on the sidelines and eventually joined Jamie and Brook in their cheers. I could hear Brook and Jamie doing a cheer. Basically I was quarterback, Carson hiked the ball, and Pony and Johnny were receivers. It was a average team. Well after some playing time and many cheers by Brook and Jamie, the score was 21 Cupcakes, 17 Muffins cause of a field goal Pony got. We were all the way on our 30 yard line with only time for 2 plays. It was looking pretty bad. I was covered in mud cause i tackled Scott and we started fighting for fun and we both got penalties so we sat for a couple minutes. We were laughing the whole time. Carson hiked the ball. I caught it but i didn't know who to throw to. Johnny was blocked by Two-bit, Pony by Elena and Carson by Cristy. I couldn't run and i couldn't hold on to it forever, or Scott would tackle me. I saw it there. Johnny skipped a step in his rhythm and got past Two-bit. I chucked it over there. He caught it and started running as fast as he could. He;s fast for a little guy. He made a touch down with a second to spare and he did this like, i guess you can call it a dance, with this song he was singing about muffins? Crazy fella. Final Score. Muffins 24 Cupcakes 21. Brook ran out to me and kissed me. Then we all shook hands and we went to get pizza.

A Job

I had my hood, up my blades, a gun, and my nunchucks hidden in my jacket. I looked back and saw Brook asleep. She had told me everything i needed to know to find those socs. I headed out. I arrived at my destination a while later. i knocked on the front door. An old friend of mine opened it. " Jonah, I need some information. " He smiled and looked at me. " Thought you gave this kinda stuff up?" " Im coming outta retirement for one more time." I came in. We sat down at his kitchen table. I told him everything that Brook said. He gave me the names off all te socs and where they lived. I gave him $20 and left. I had a job to do. Jack, Brandon, Nick and Chris. those were their names. I started with Jack. He wasnt home. I asked a couple of neighbors where he was, they said Frosty Freeze. I went there saw him there with his friends. All of them. Wow this was gonna be too easy. I started toward them. When I got close they stopped talking and stared. " I gotta talk to Jack Brandon Nick and Chris for a moment. Outside with me please." They looked at each other and after a few moments got up and followed me outside into an alley. " Austin Brumley we know its you. You can take the hood off." said Jack. I took it off. " So were you guys the ones who kiddnapped and jumped a pretty little blonde girl the other day?" I asked. " Yea we did. Really hot. I was gonna have my fun with her when we got back to the hideout, but she got away." answered Chris. I punched him in the face and he fell to the ground. " That pretty little really hot blonde girl is my girlfriend!" I yelled at him. " Whoa calm down we didnt know!" Nick said. " Too late. I promised her I would kill the socs who did that to her and im gonna do that." I pulled out the gun. I shot him. But i missed my mark and shot him in the leg. " Whoa. We can work this out." said Jack, I thought for a moment. " You know what? Your gonna do me a favor in return for doing this to my girlfried. Im gonna be going away soon in september, but ill be coming back ocasionally. Your gonna make sure my Brook doesnt get a single soc hand laid on her got it?" " Yes sir! We get it clear." " And if I come back and she has a single fingerprint on her. Ill find ya again. And i wont be as merciful. And dont call the cops cause ill tell them about what you did to her. And we dont want that do we?" I walked away.
