All because of that Damn Cat.

I got out of bed half asleep on Friday morning. Like every morning I got Ponys cat Rustys food bowl and poured cat food that looked liked goldfish into it. Well usally Rusty comes straight to me when i do that . Usually he claws at my leg and hisses and me until i put the foodbowl down. Well not this morning. I looked all around the house calling out "Rusty!!! RUSTY!!! WHY THE HELL DID I AGREE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU!?!?" Then at the worst moment possible Pony walked in. He said "Hey Johnny! Wheres my favorite cat in the whole entire world!?! I promised Rusty today we would rate Brittney Spears pictures on a scale of hotness 1 to 5000!" I said "Oh your cat......yeah hes at the carwash. Washing his cat car." Pony said cheerfully "Okay cool. When will he be ba- hey wait a second, cats cant drive. WHERES RUSTY!?!" I sighed and said "The truth is, i dont know where rusty is. I found the back door open, he must of got out..." Pony said "Rustys...LOST!??!" I replied "Yeah pretty much." Pony said " We got to find him then come on!!" I replied "Hold your horses pony, lets make posters first, maybe someone has seen him" Pony said " Okay I'll draw Rusty. I got a C+ in art so Im pretty awesome at it, even though I broke a paintbrush." Pony went off drawing posters, his stick figure cats were pretty.....realistic. Pshhh yeah sure :P Anyways we went around town hagging up posters and asking all the gang they saw Rusty, but no luck. Pony looked pretty much depressed after loking for 4 hours and getting nowhere. Then I realized we hadn't asked the Brumleys if they saw Rusty. On the way to their house I remembered that Austin broke my sisters heart. I remembered how much Brook hurt, how she felt unwanted, not special, like a good for nothing cheerleading blonde. This feeling inside made me mad. So pony and I decided to take a little detour to the DX, and get some water ballons. Our plan was to pelt Austin with them. I know it sounds stupid but I had to do something to the person who broke my sisters heart, I'm her brother after all. So after we filled up some water ballons we headed over to Austin house. Pony rang the door bell. Austin answered. Perfect. Right when he opened the door I hit him with a water ballon. Right after that pony hit him with one. After that me and pony started throwing water ballons like rapid fire. Then after we were out of ballons Austin looked soaked. Me and pony started laughing. But Austin, didn't find it as funny as we did. Austin said "What the fuck guys?!? Do you see my hair?!? It's messed up!!" Pony chuckled and said "Sorry dude, I didn't know you cared about your hair that much." In an instant Austin punched pony right in the gut. I don't think Austin meant to hurt him that bad. Pony was practically wincing in pain on the ground. I said "That was really uncalled for man..." Austin said "Yeah I know. But It was just a little punch. He's pretty weak for a greaser huh?" I don't know if he really expected me to agree to that. I kinda snapped. I punched Austin right in the nose. All my anger went into that punch. All my hate for Austin at that moment went into that punch. That punch was powerful. He looked kinda shocked at me. Blood started rushing out of his nose. Then right there I turned around. There was Jamie. She was looking at me with a confused face, a dissapointed face. Had she seen the whole thing? I dunno but she ran over and said, "What the hell happend?!!" Austin answered before I could get a chance "Johnny punched me in the nose." The Jamie looked at Austin and saw the blood "Oh my gosh Tinman your bleeding, are you okay?!" Austin said "Yeah it's no biggie it just hurts a bit" Then Jamie turned to me and said "What were you thinkng?! How could you do this Johnny?? This so isn't like you. You know latley I've been feeling that I don't know who you are anymore. Just go away." I looked at her, with this shocked/sad kind of face. I didn't wanna put up a fight. So I just left. I told pony I'd meet up with him later. Pony nodded and went to go look for Rusty some more. I heard while I was walking away Jamie saying "Comeon tinman, go inside so I can clean you up." I thought, oh great. I felt like I've been run over by a truck. Then I realized where I wanted to go. Over to Angela's house. I trust her, and we can always count on eachother. So when I got to Angela's house Curly answered the door with a helmet, holding a skateboard and said. "Hey Johnny dude. What are you doing here?" I replied "Is Angela home?" He said "Yeah she is but I don't know where." I said "Thanks" He said "I have to go, I'm going skateboarding, later man." I said "Later" After he left I looked everywhere for Angela. I even looked under this plant, and under the couch. I was about to leave and give up I heard a soft cry. I said "Angela?" There was no answer, just more crying sounds. The sounds seemed to be coming from the basement. I thought to myself how dumb I am, I didn't look in the basement. So I opened the door to the basement. As i walked down the stairs the crying sounds got louder. I got worried. I looked to my left to see angela in a corner, crying her eyes out with a blade to her wrist, blood everywhere. I ran over to her, I didn't get to close because blood...well isn't really my thing. :P Anyways I said "Angela...." Then Angela looked up and said weakly "Johnny???" I could tell she was a little wosey from blood lost. I said "Yeah I'm here." She said crying "Johnny go away, I don't want you to see me like this." I replied "No I'm not leaving, I'm not letting you hurt your self like this." She said "I don't care, I'll hurt myself if I want to. My lifes a wreck..." I said "And you think this is how to slove it?!" She didnt answer for a second then replied "You don't understand..." Then I realized she's right. I don't understand. I've never cut myself in my life. I've never hurt myself on purpose. Then I said "Come on Angela, put the knife down." Then she snapped at me "No!" Then I sat down right next to her on the cold floor. I said "Look Angela, put the knife down and we can talk about this. There are better ways to deal with this." she replied "I dunno, this feels good to me." I said. "But it isn't good for you. Trust me Angela. I need you to trust me." Angela looked at me, then her wrist, then the knife. Then she dropped the knife on the floor. Immendiently after she dropped the knife she was in my arms, sobbing. I hugged her for a while, confronting her, then I said "Angela do you want to talk about this?" She said still crying "I guess.....it all started when my parents hit me, beat me, did horrible things to me. They didn't care about me one bit, I was lucky if they put dinner on the table. I mostly just keept quiet about it, but it got worse and worse. I didn't wanna tell anybody because I was embaressed. The only way I could deal with it was...cutting." I just looked at her shocked for a moment, I didn't know all of that happened to Angela, the girl who always had a smile on her face. I said "You know, my parents beat me up too. I understand what your going through." She said "Really? Oh johnny I didn't know...." Then we talked about each of our homes lives with our parents. We talked about what happened with Jamie. We talked about a lot of things. We talked about well....everything it seemed. After about an hour pasted we were still in the basement talking. Then Angela said "I've never told anyone about the cutting, about everything.... execpt you. And I'm kind of glad your the only one that knows. I trust you." I smiled. I said "Well you will be happy to know I trust you too, a lot." She smiled back at me. Then there was a silence. Then I said "Well I better get going, Im supposed to help Pony look for his lost cat some more." Angela said "Oh okay." I said "Remember if you ever need me, I'll be there." She said "Thanks Johnny." I really appriciate it. Let me walk you to the door." I said "Okay" And we both walked upstairs. We both walked out the door. And she said "Bye Johnny Appleseed." I Said "Bye Angela" Angela turned around towards the the door about to go back into her house when I said "Angela wait." She turned around and said "Yes?" Then I pulled her in and kissed her. Angela slapped me. Then she said "God! I can't belive you just kissed me! I just looked down. I said "Oh I'm really sorry. I don't know what came over me....." There was this akward stillness between us. After a couple seconds she said "Come here you idiot." I came closer expecting to be slapped again and lectured. But instead, she started making out with me. Her lips tasted like whiskey. I thought could you get drunk from kissing someone? :P But then at the worst possible moment in the world in the history of time, Jamie and Pony came. Me and Angela stoped kissing. No one said anything for a moment. Jamie looked like she was about to brust into tears, and pony, well looked liked pony :P. But anyways Jamie said "I thought....i thought you loved me." And with that she ripped the necklace I gave her that said Johnny with a heart around it off and ran away. I could hear her crying when she was leaving. Pony gave me that, How-Could-You-Be-So-Stupid-As-Brittney look. He left too saying "Im going back to your place Johnny to look to see if rusty came back." I was spechless so I just nodded. I looked down and saw Jamie's necklace she ripped off. I picked it up and looked at my necklace that had Jamie on it with a heart around it. I felt....well horrible. Angela felt horrible too. We both agreeed that we were to good of friends to ever be together. And Angela said she didn't wanna fight with Jamie anymore, it was stupid. We both knew the kiss was a mistake. After we talked I went to jamies house. Of course I knocked on the door billions of times and she didn't answer. I must of threw hundreads of rocks at her window, but she didn't answer. It got really late at night and I was sitting below her window on the front lawn and I got a text from pony and It read "Hey Johnny! Guess what? I found rusty! In the fridge! Haha that silly cat." I was too tired to text him back. Then I fell asleep for a while. I was awoken by Jamies neighbors it was 3 in the morning. The neighbors claimed I was disturbing them. I said "My girlfriend lives here...she's gonna let me in." And one of them said "Oh sure. If you not gonna leave I'm calling the cops." I said "whoa whoa I don't want any trouble I just wanna see my girl." Then she said something about being a no good greaser, always hurting others, and getting into trouble. After getting a lecture on how horrible I am she called the cops on the count of tresspassing and disturbing the peace. Well the cops showed up talked with me talked with and the neighbors. The cops handcuffed me and I said "Wait wait I'm not tresspassing, this is my girfriends house." The police officer knocked on jamies door and Jamie answered. Jamie looked like she had been crying, a lot. I said "Jamie! Thank god you answered this officer here and you neighbors thought I was tresspassing!" The police officer said "Mam do you know this boy?" Jamie wiped her eyes and said "No. I don't know him." I said "Jamie! Jamie? Come on you do know me! I'm your boyfriend!" Jamie said to the police officer "Hes crazy, I don't know him. I'm glad I don't, he looks like a cheater and a heartbreaker. I hope I never see him again" The police officer nodded and said "Come on greaser lets go." Jamie just looked down and started crying again while I was taken into the police car. Well this sucks. The police officer then said on the car ride to the station, "Hey I reconize you, weren't you that kid who pretended to be a police officer? I thought "Damn muffins. This is the worst day ever." I didn't answer. He said "Well kid your in some trouble." When we got to the station I was sentenced only 2 days in jail. I felt pretty lucky. The whole time I was in jail I thought about 1 thing. Jamie. I thought "How could she do this to me?" Then I thought "How could I do this to her?" When I got out of jail I went home. I still havnt talked to Jamie....Everyone should hate me. I would understand. I deserve it.-Johnny Cade.
