Should I thank you for the Venom? (Redo)
Save Me from my Self-Destruction
Lulu’s pov.
I was on the phone with my mom. She was supposed to be back sometime that day, but she had bad news for me.
“Sorry Lulu, but my flight got pushed back to later today, which means I won’t get home until tomorrow morning.”
“Ugh! Then what am I supposed to do? My school stuff is still in my room!”
“I know honey, but try to get it and see if you can stay at your friends for another night.”
“Okay, fine. I’ll see what I can do. Have a nice flight.”
“Thanks, hun. See you tomorrow. I love you.”
“I love you too.” I hung up and sighed, catching Mikey’s attention.
“What’s wrong Lu?” He asked from his seat next to me on the couch.
“My mom won’t be back until early tomorrow morning, so it looks like I’ll have to get my school stuff and stay here for another night. I am not staying at my house without my mom.” I pulled my knees up to my chest and rested my head on them. I suddenly felt arms being wrapped around me. I leaned into Mikey and felt tears start to prick my eyes.
“Hush, little Lulu. You are safe here, trust me. Don’t be scared. Do you want to see if Bob can come over?”
“Yeah, that would be nice. Thank you so much, Mikey.”
“Hey, you’re like my sister already. I love you, hun.”
“I love you too. And Mikey?”
“Yeah?”
“You should really tell Ray how you are feeling. He needs to know so he can help you.” I looked over at him and saw he looked sad. “A poker face can’t hide your feelings from everyone.”
Mikey sighed and leaned back against the couch. “I know. I’m just worried that he’ll leave me after he finds out how much of a mess my life is.”
“If he ever leaves you because of that, it only means he doesn’t truly care. But I know that Ray loves you too much to let you go. And if I’m wrong, tell me so I can beat his ass!”
Mikey smiled at that. “Really, because I’m pretty Ray’s a bit stronger than you.”
“That may be true, but I’m a girl. I will always win!”
Mikey laughed and hugged my again. “Okay, I’ll invite both Bob and Ray over. I’ll talk to him if you talk to Bob. A smile doesn’t hide everything either.”
“I know, and so does Bob. I’ve talked to him about some stuff, but not all of it. I’ll try.”
Bob and Ray arrived soon after Mikey called them. Bob gave me a kiss at the door which already made me feel better. “Uh, Bob, can you come with me to my house so I can get something?”
“Yeah, of course babe. What do you need to get? Aren’t you going back today anyway?” Bob looked confused and concerned.
“My mom won’t be coming home until tomorrow morning, so I’ll be staying here another night.”
“Sure. And you know if anything like this happens again, you can always stay at my house. I’ll always have room for you.” Bob gave my hand a squeeze.
I hugged Bob extra tight. I knew then that I was with the right friends. “Let’s go now.” I went into the living room to get my bag that I had left on the couch. Mikey and Ray were snuggling in front of the TV. “Mikey, Bob and I are going to get my stuff, alright?”
Mikey looked up at me. “Alright. Be safe.”
“Thanks bud!”
I entwined my fingers with Bob’s, and we walked out the door. As we walked down the sidewalk, Bob leaned down and kissed my cheek. I turned my head and caught his lips with my own. He pulled away and we kept walking in blissful silence. Soon we reached the front of the house. I took a deep breath and walked up to the front door. My dad’s truck was not outside, so I knew he wasn’t home. I unlocked the door and walked inside with Bob following close behind.
“Nice house. I wish mine was this nice.” Bob said as he took everything in.
“Thank you. Come on, my room is down the hall.” I took him to my door and opened it to go up stair. When I got to the top, I stepped aside for Bob.
“I like your room. It’s a bit pink for my taste, but not bad.” He laughed a bit as he sat on my bed.
“Yeah, Gee said the same thing when he first saw it! Alright, I just need to grab my messenger bag, and we can leave.” I looked around a bit before spotting it on the floor next to my bed. As I leaned down to grab it, I heard the front door slam. “Aw f**k!” I quickly ran down to my door and locked it. Bob sat stock still and listened carefully. “Bob my dad’s home! What do we do?!” I whispered in a panicked voice. I sat down on his lap and curled into him.
“I don’t know, but don’t be scared. Everything will be okay. I won’t let him touch you.” Bob cooed as he stroked my hair.
Suddenly the doorknob to my room jiggled violently. I whimpered and Bob hugged me closer to him. “Lulu, I know you’re up there! You will regret it if you come down here! You won’t be getting past me!” My father raged in a drunken slur.
I quietly uncurled myself from Bob and walked to my door. When I tried to look under it, I could see that my dad was sitting in front of it. I crept back up the stairs and sat next to Bob on the bed. “I have an idea.” I whispered. “I’m going to ask Gee to come over here, and ring the doorbell. If we get my dad away from this door long enough, we might be able to leave through the back door.” Bob nodded so I texted Gee, telling him what had happened. He agreed to the plan and said he’d be right over. He also said that he’d tell Mikey what was happening.
Bob and I were seated at the bottom of the stairs waiting for Gee to come. I had my bag and a few more clothes with me. Soon I got a text from Gee saying he was here. I showed Bob, and we both got ready to bolt. I heard the doorbell and my dad mumble something about not wanting to be bothered. Never the less, I heard him get up and walk to the front door. I opened my bedroom door when I was sure I wouldn’t see and pushed Bob out. I quickly shut the door and made sure it was locked with the spare key in my pocket. I grabbed Bob’s hand and ran to the back door while I could hear Gee talking. I think my dad heard us because I could hear him trying to get rid of Gee and close the door. I made it to the back door, Bob going out first. I closed the door and could hear my father yelling and swearing. “Run Bob! He’s right behind us!” Bob grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him as he ran into the alley. We ran to the end and turned the corner, seeing that Gee and Frank were almost at the end of the block. “Whose house is the closest?” I frantically asked Bob. The sooner we were off the street, the better.
“Technically Ray’s is, but I don’t think that will help us right now. Otherwise Gee’s house is closest.” I huffed in frustration.
By that time Gee and Frank had caught up to us. “Mikey has the backdoor open for us. We should probably go through the alley.” We all kept running towards Gee’s house. Even though I never turned around, I could hear yelling coming from my dad. We finally made it to Gee’s house and ran inside. Mikey shut the door and locked it behind us. We all stood there breathing deeply trying to catch our breath. “F**k.” Gee breathed under his breath.
I walked over to him and hugged him and Frank. “Remember when we were in art class on the first day and I told you that I would eventually tell you why I needed you guys?” They nodded. “Well, this is why.”
“Oh Lulu, I’m so sorry. I never would have known.” Frank hugged me close.
I looked at both of them. “I am so sorry for bothering you two. I know you were trying to hang out, and I ruined your plans. I’m sorry. I always mess everything up.” I pulled out of Franks grasp and ran into the bathroom. Before I could lock the door, Bob pulled it open and slipped inside. I backed into the corner and slid onto the floor pulling my knees up to my chest.
Bob crept towards me slowly and crouched down next to me. “Are you scared?” I nodded and hugged my legs closer to myself. He sat down next to me. “Come here hun.” Bob held out his arms towards me. I crawled into his arms and snuggled into his lap. “Gee and Frank aren’t mad at you. They were just happy to help us get out of there.”
I shook my head. “That’s not true. I’m just a stupid little f**k up that ruins everything.” Bob swiftly turned my head and kissed my lips. I leaned in and kissed back with a want and need for someone to be there for me.
Bob pulled back and pushed some of the hair out of my eyes. “You are not a f**k up. You didn’t mess up anything. It is not your fault that your dad is an alcoholic bitch. Lulu, you are the most perfect person I have ever met. You care about everyone. You make me so happy, and I want to make you happy too. I have never once thought about cutting since we have been together. You are fixing me, Lulu. I want to fix you too. I love you.” Bob blushed a bit after he said this.
I kissed Bob’s lips with a passion that I did not even know I possessed. “I love you too. I wish I could spend every waking minute with you. You are the thing that helps me to keep going. You save me from my self-destruction.”
