Dear Di-Errr... Journal.
Last night was crazy. I have to get all I can remember down before I forget it.
I've started hanging out with Joram and Cait, who always seem to have these crazy parties! I've met lots of people through them because of it. After a few games with some guys, we ended up at the black lke where somehow i convinced everyone, including myself, that it would be a good idea to take a swim in near freezing weather! We all played in the water a bit, and a smart girl even thought to warm a bunch of it up for us. There was a fire made, Cait killed a turkey for supper with her bare hands, and of course alcohol was past around, cause where there is Joram, there's alcohol.
I ended up dancing with a pretty blond named Narcissa. I was having fun, but I guess she had been hitting on me the whole time, which made things awkward, but nothing a little alcohol couldn't fix. Course, Cissa had too much alcohol, and a fight broke out between her and another girl named Teggy. I put on some music and tried to drown them out- I hate fighting.
We all cuddled in the blankets Jesse brought around the fire as Evan served up the turkey. It was such a perfect moment, having so many people from so many back ground sharing a meal together like that. There had to be at least had to be at least nine people! Jesse, Ezra, Benji, Cait, Joram, Bastion, Rod, Teggy, Evan and I. I had never been in such a big gathering of friends before, and we all felt pretty close. That's when Joram got sick though- I just figured he ate some uncooked Turkey. Rod followed him out into the forest and a bunch of people trickled off after that.
Eileen showed up, and I immediately went to hide. I figured she was still angry at me. Cait pulled my blanket down though and Eileen saw me, so I ran after her. She was just looking for Stasja, but things felt wrong. She didn't stay long to talk about it, and after she left, I ran into Cait who had been listening in. She wasn't too happy with me- she thought that Eileen, or maybe Stasja was my girlfriend, so I had to tell her the awkward truth. i told her about Eileen and i, about how She can't remember me, and how Stasja was my enemy, up until she hurt her head and started going crazy over me. Cait offered to help me, and I felt good about it all.
That's when the Crazy Blond Bitch showed up and ruined everything. She had Eileen, and she had hurt her! She also accused me of cheating on her with not only Eileen, but Cait too! She started screaming crazy stuff like "i thought you loved me" And "we were going to go to the seaside and raise kids" and she was beyond reasoning with. Cait started believing her, i think, because she started yelling too. that's when Stasja started threatening everyone, so to try and calm her down, I pretended to be nice to her. I told her that I wasn't cheating on her, and for her to leave them alone. This really pissed Cait off. She stormed away, yelling "You know what? Don't bother coming to Sunday night comics, I wont be there!" And I wanted to call her back, but i knew it was safer for everyone if she just went.
I managed to calm Stasja down, and ask her what was going on. She told me that Eileen wouldn't tell her where I was, so she not only burned her little cousin, she used the unforgivable torture curse on her! i couldn't hold my cool after that. Tried to get Eileen to come with me and get away from her Cousin, but Stasja started to freak out again. i probably could have controlled the situation if Ezra hadn't shown up looking for me.
"Another one of your whores?!" Stasja screamed, and started going crazy, and that's when she broke my last straw. i don't get mad easily. Actually, I can't remember the last time I was mad. But last night, she pushed me soooo far, that I started screaming at her! i told her how she ruined my life! She destroyed my friendship with Eileen, and probably Cait too! told her how I hated her guts for how she bullied me and bashed my face in and ruined my fun all the time! I called her a psycho bitch! Sometime during all of this, Mr. Mortelle, Joram's father, and apparently a teacher, showed up and restrained Stasja. He told me it was a love potion gone bad, not Brain damage that I had cause (thank god), and asked me to go get Rabastion Lestrange to make an antidote. I found Bastion, and he mixed up a potion good and quick, and I was forced to be nice to Stasja to try and get her to drink it. She bawled and cried and continued to say she loved me, and it almost hurt to see her so sad. I knew it wasn't real though. What worried me though was that she kept saying she knew something we didn't know- that she had an important secret. But she never got to tell us, because she drank the potion and turned back into a bitch.
Well, it's better than when she was telling me she loved me.
Most people went away, leaving me with Eileen and Bastion. She told me she remembered me! She had heard Stasja talking in her sleep about all the bad things she was doing, and when Stasja had asked for potions to hurt me, Eileen turned them into love potions to try and get her to be nicer to me. She hadn't wanted them to be so strong though. This was amazing news! All this time, i thought i was watching out for Eileen, and here she was watching out for me! i was so happy to have her back as a friend, I nearly forgot that Joram and Rod were still in the forest!
Joram came out looking like a new man! No. Actually. He had a completely new face and body! We kinda freaked out. He said it was because he was a vampire! Holy crap! he just became 10x sexier in my eyes! I freakin love vampires. Never knew they could change faces though... gonna have to ask him about that one.
The few of us that were left went back to the fire, and after that rush of adrenaline and alcohol that I had experienced from calling Stasja a Bitch, I was starting to crash. I just kinda watched the fire, and thought things over for a bit. Things like how Eileen and i could go back to normal now, and how I didn't have to be a stalker. How I'd have to look out for Stasja wanting to punch me in the face again, and how I should probably return her wand. i also thought about what Cait said, and how she hated me now. I never seem to be able to keep friends.
Rod brought up i was looking down, and when I mentioned I was just feeling run down, he and Joram agreed i needed to get laid, though i think they were suggesting that I have sex with them. Not that i wouldn't, I mean, I've thought about Joram a lot! And I'm probably gonna think about him a lot more now that I know he's a vampire, But I don't wanna be a whore any more. I've been down that road, and it's just... tiring. And empty. Rod and Eileen started talking about true love, and waiting for the right one, and all that stuff,a and I tried to explain that I wasn't really waiting for the right one or the one I'm gonna marry and live happily ever after with, but someone I can spend time with now! Someone who's gonna want me around for a while, and not gonna hurt me. I don't want to be hurt again. We talked at length about love, and Rod eventually pointed out that I was swimming in girls tonight at that I could have my pick.
Yeah, but I'm not like that! i told him they were all just my friend and that I don't like picking favourites friends and told me i was thick and i was like "okay, what did I do now!"
Joram replied by manhandling my face and screaming "CAIT WANTS YOU IN HER BED!"
This was really shocking! Cait? really? but, we were just good friends who read comic books together! I mean, sure, she was super cute, and we had a lot of things in common, but we were just friends! Good friends!
They told me how I was oblivious, and how she clearly likes me. they said that we could have been good for each other tonight, but how I ruined that chance- well, let's be honest, Stasja ruined that chance. they convinced me that I still had a chance, and they (Jesse, Eileen, Rod and Joram) were going to march me up to the library, where she was probably reading comic books, and make me do something about it.
I agreed.
But only if I could wear my Super hero costume.
They followed me up to my room where I got the costume and my latest issue of Batman, and we headed up to the library. we really seem to startle the librarian, but my friends explained what was going on, and she ended up cheering me on.
I approached the table in the back where Cait like to hide herself, summoned all my courage, and what happened played out something like this:
"Caitlyn?"
She stayed hidden behind the curtains and faked being an answering machine," Uhh.. Caitlin is out... please leave a message after the... beeeep...
"
I pulled on my mask to hide my red face and pulled the curtain aside "Caitlyn, can I come in?"
She wouldn't look up at me, and continued looking at her books "Uh.. I guess..."
I reached into the fort and gently lifted her chin with my gloved hand so that I could look her in the eyes, "Cait... I came to say I'm sorry."
She finally saw me, and her eyes went wide, "You're... a...I ... You don't have to. It's alright. I'll be fine."
"No, it's not." I said, and took up both her hands and gently lead her out from beneath the table. "I hurt
you tonight, And I never ment to. I can be so stupid sometimes, I don't
know how I ever Got sorted into Ravenclaw...." I laughed sadly. I felt so stupid right now. Not for how I was dress, but for how I had treated her. How could I have been so blind?
She looked up at me with her gentle, sad eyes, "Eddie... A lot of crazy crap went down tonight.. I
just.. I'm having a really hard time figuring out what was the truth"
"Truth is, I like you Cait." I said quickly so not to lose my nerve, " A lot! and I know you like me too.... I just needed some help realizing it." I looked to my group of friends at the front of the library who were cheering me on.
"I've been dropping hints like they were hand grenades!"
"And I told you I'm as thick as a brick!" i laughed at my own stupidity, "Listen... Cait..." i really didn't know what to say, or how to say it, but the day we first met, under the table fort, and when we had read x-men together kept poping into my mind, and it's all i could think of, "If I was Nightcrawler... Would you be my Amanda Sefton?"
"His sister?"
"No! They were just foster siblings, uh-" I really hadn't meant it like that and I blushed profusely."I told you I'm no good at metaphors!!"
"Yeah but everyone knows there is totally something going on there." She grinned at me, and that little movement let me know that she had understood- that she got me.
"Well, Yeah, that's what I mean... " I thought back to the comic series and to my favourite hero in that book and his love interest, "I just wanna hear you say, 'You, Mr Wagner, are one sweet, sexy guy'." I smiled timidly.
She paused and looked at me seriously. it was a frightening look. "hmmm... Tell me the truth about the other girls. Straight truth none of
this lunatic walks in later and says the opposite stuff."
"She was under the spell of a love potion." I explained seriously, "Eileen gave it to her to try and protect me"
"...Weren't we protecting Eileen??"
"She remembered me " i smiled at her, " And now my job protecting her is done. Now... I'm all yours."
"Well that changes things..." she still didn't seem convinced though, and I got worried.
"Please don't hate me? I'm trying really hard. i'm making this stuff up on the spot, I don't know how to be romantic..."
There was a long pause that followed, and i nearly couldn't bear it. eventually, she did look back up at me. I smiled, and gulped nervously.
"You Mr. Muler," She said softly, "are one sweet, sexy guy."
I felt my heart jump for joy at that moment. I really didn't believe what she was saying! It was a perfect moment, like the two of us had jumped right out of the pages of a comic book.
"Yeah?" I asked stupidly and her cheeks turned bright red.
"Well.. you came back for me.. in your best suit..."
"Well, I had to rescue our friendship, didn't I?"
"Well.. yeah.. Gosh. Yer good at this super hero business."
I went to lean in slowly, not sure of what I was doing, but knew that if I wanted to make this happen, it was now or never. There was yelling and cheering behind me, and I heard Joram shout out "GO FOR IT EDDIE!"
I laughed and hollered back, "Shut up, Joram!" before putting my arms around her waist and sweeping her feet out from under her wish a real kiss, just like in the movies. I took her in my arms, and we ran off into the night, back to her dorm where we read comic books, looked at pictures of her cat, and best of all...
She let me spend the night.
And That's how I saw the world today.
