Demoralized Prey

Song of the Chapter: Part II -Paramore

At some point during, I began dozing off. I fought the sleep for as long as possible, but I eventually lost and fell asleep against the window. The sleep was hard to hold, but I managed to get pretty deep in it all the same.

I was awoken by Gerard knocking on the window from the outside. I looked around at my surroundings. We were at my house. I tried to open he door, but then I remembered the child lock. I looked up at him with an apethic expression. He gestured for me to roll down the window. Lazily I reached down and slowly made the glass barrier retract into the door.

"Do you have keys?" He asked pointing at the front door.

"Yes." I answered.

I knew he was waiting for me to pass them up, but I decided to make him say it. Just because.

"Fine." He took the hint. "Can you please give me the keys to the front door?"

"For what?" I asked genuinely curious.

"Do you not want clean clothes?" He questioned rhetorically.

"Why do you need them? I can go in on my own thanks."

"Yeah...right. And then what? Lock me out and run to the kitchen to stab yourself? No way! I'm going to get you clothes and then we are going to my place so I can actually talk to you."

"Just open the door! I'm not going anywhere with you." I protested.

"Wait! Aha, I seem to remember the fact that you guys keep a spare under the hose in the backyard. Oh, well then I guess I don't need your key." He smirked and went off. I could swaer he winked too, but I wasn't looking properly.

I was seriously starting to hate his dude. He's always been a real smart one. But I guess it's my fault that he knows about the key. In 10th grade he used to come over when mom was sleeping and we'd smoke and just talk about shit until early hours. I'd usually fall asleep so when he left he'd lock the door so that mom never got suspicious. Damn me and my tactics! Damn him and his memory!

He returned soon eneough and put my things in the back. After he sat back down he looked over at me and giggled.

"Ugh! What the fuck is so funny?" I peeved.

"Oh nothing. I was just surprised." He put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway.

"Oh yeah! Why is that exactly?" I pretended to sound sweet. But my face quickly fell back into it's original scowl.

"It's just...well..." He paused and looked over at me. "You could've just reached out and opened the door yourself."

I paused. Fuck! He was right.
