"You got it." He said, and got up and handed me a bottle. "Hungry?"
"Ugh. No!" I said, and they all laughed at me.
"You can just drop me off at Ryans if you want. You don't have to stay. You look pretty bad." Tristin said.
"Thanks. I feel like shit." I told her.
"You drank a lot." Todd said.
"Yes, I'm aware." I said.
"You might wanna put some make up on that." Colin said, pointing at my chest. I had a huge hicky on my chest, right over my boob.
"Oh damn it!" I said.
"Just put the hoodie you always keep in your car on untill you get home and can change." Tristin said.
"It's June." I said.
"Fine, let your mom see what you where up to tonight." She said. I laughed.

1:56 PM
Sarah said...
I took the aleve and drank some water. "I'm ready to go." I standing up.
"Okay." She said.
I dropped her off at Ryan's house and went home. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and layed down to rest.

I ended up sleeping for a couple hours. I got up, changed into some sweatpants and a tanktop. There was a knock on the door.
"What is it?" I shouted. Christopher opened the door.
"Mom made lunch." He said.
"HONEY!" I heard my mom shout as she was walking down the hall. She was almost to the door, and Christophers eyes got huge. He ran in my room and hugged me.
"Whats up with you two?" She asked, seeing us hugging.
"I just missed my big sis." Christopher said.
"Oh. Thats...nice. Lunch is ready." She said, and left. Chris let go.
"What the hell was that about?" I asked. Chris pointed at my chest. I looked down and the hicky was even worse.
"Oh my god! How embarassing!" I said. Christopher just started laughing, and left.
"THANKS!" I shouted.
"Your Welcome!" He said back. I put a t-shirt on, and then went to go have some lunch. I was starving.

3:02 PM
Sarah said...
I sat down at the table and Mom set a bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of me. "Yay!" I said excited. "You havn't made this in so long!"
She laughed, "I know. I know you guys love it though, so I decided to make some for lunch."
"Thanks." I said smiling.
"Sweetie, aren't you warm in those sweats?" She asked.
"I am actually." I said, "Especially eating soup."

3:06 PM
Christina said...
She just gave me a funny look. We ate, and I still felt pretty crummy, so I went to bed. I slept for a little while, and then woke up when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Ally?"
"Yes?"
"It's Goose. I got your number from Todd. Hope thats okay." He said.
"Yeah. Whats up?" I asked him.

3:10 PM
Sarah said...
"Not much. I'm just bored." He said.
"Oh." I laughed, "I've been sleeping all morning."
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Much better now that I've rested. And my Mom happen to make soup for lunch, so it worked out good." I said.
"Cool." He said.

3:14 PM
Christina said...
"So, whats up?" I asked him.
"Oh, do you want to hang out or something?" He asked.
"Uh, sure, I guess. What do you want to do?"
"I don't know. I didn't think that far ahead." He laughed.
"Oh. Well, how about we go to a movie? Oh, or the park." I said.
"Yeah, that sounds like fun. Sorry, I'm not as confident when I'm not drinking." He said.
"It's okay. Tell you what, just come pick me up in an hour okay?" I said.
"Okay. I'll see you then." He said.
"Oh, one more thing." I said.
"Whats that?" He asked.
"I've got the hickey to end all hickeys from you." I told him. He started laughing so hard.
"Sorry. I guess I got carried away." He said.
"It's okay. It was fun. See you in an hour." I told him where I lived, and then got ready.

7:57 PM
Sarah said...
I put on a plain red fitted t-shirt and jeans. I put some make up on and layed in bed to watch TV for a little while while I waited for Goose to pick me up.

9:19 PM
Christina said...
He called me when he pulled into the driveway. I ran out and got in his car.
"So what are we doing?" I asked him.
"Do you shoot pool?" He asked.
"Kind of." I said.
"Do you like to?"
"Not really."
"Me either. I was just trying to think of something to do." He said.
"I know! The skating rink!" I suggested.
"YES! You are BRILLIANT!" He shouted, and I laughed.
"So where is this Hickey?" He asked. I lifte up my shirt and showed him.
"Holy shit! Sorry babe!" He said.
"It's alright." I said, laughing.

9:29 PM
Sarah said...
He started talking about bizzare things. He went on and on about time machines and why they would be impossible to make. I was releived when we got to the skating rink. We got out and went inside. We paid to rent the skates and sat down on a bench to put them on. "I'll get a locker for our shoes." He said.
"Okay." I said, "I must warn you though. It's been a really long time since I've went roller skating."
He laughed, "I'll catch you if you fall."

9:33 PM
Christina said...
"You better." I laughed. He came back and we went out on the floor. I was doing alright, but Goose was flying all over the place! It was like he had never been on rollerskates before.
"DUDE!" I shouted when he rolled into a whole group of little kids. All the kids started laughing at him. I started laughing too.

9:48 PM
Sarah said...
I ran into the wall to stop myself and died laughing. I couldn't stop laughing. He skated up behind me and ran into me.
"Are you laughing at me?" He asked.
"I'm sorry." I said laughing. My eyes were tearing up from laughing so hard.
He laughed, "Okay so I suck at skating." He said.
"I see that!" I said.
"So where to after this?" He asked.
I laughed, "You are so ready to get the hell out of here."
"I am, but we can stay if you want." He said.
"Let's get some food from the snack bar and people watch." I said smiling.
"Okay." He said.

9:55 PM
Christina said...
He barely made it off the the rink and onto the carpet. I couldn't help but laugh. His took his skates off right away, and we walked over to the locker to get our shoes. I was still laughing. We went to the snack bar and got some nachos along with some gummie bears and two sodas. We sat down at a table facing the skating rink and started eating. Goose opened up a bag of gummie bears, licked the back of a couple and stuck them to his forehead.

10:24 PM
Sarah said...
I just laughed. He took them off his forehead and stuck them in his mouth. "Ew!" I said laughing.
"I shower on a daily basis." He said stuffing a bunch of gummy bears in his mouth.
"I guess that does make it appear a little more sanitary." I said laughing.

10:28 PM
Christina said...
"Sorry. Not mature enough for you?" He asked with a full mouth. I chewed gummie bear popped out, and fell in his nachos. He picked it up and put it back in his mouth.
"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" I squeeled! A couple teenagers skated by and looked at us weird.
"What? It's good, try it!" He said.
"NO WAY!" I shouted. I suddenly realized why I had only been with Goose when I was drunk. He was pretty funny though.
"OH GROSS!" He said.
"What?" I asked.
"That woman! Fat people should not wear spandex!" He said, pointing. I started lauging.

10:39 PM
Sarah said...
"I agree." I said.
"So, is the Gooseman gonna get lucky tonight?" He asked.
I laughed, "I don't know. . ."
"It's okay if he isn't." He said, "He just really enjoyed last night."
"So did Ally." I said smiling.
He blushed. "I hope she did."
"Oh, she did. Trust me." I said giggling.

10:59 PM
Christina said...
"Good. I try, but when I'm drunk I'm never sure." He said.
"Well, you did good. Whats next?" I asked him.
"Hmmmm...Movie?" He asked.
"Sure! Lets go!" I said. We drove to the theater and stood in line to see what was playing.
"Ally?" I heard a woman call. I turned around and saw Cailin with Alex.
"Hi." I said when they walked over. She had her arm linked in his.
"Who is this?" She asked me.
"This is Goose." I said. She gave us a weird look. Alex wasn't saying anything, and it was making me mad.
"Actually it is Sigmund Goose." He said, holding out hand. She wouldn't shake it.
"Well, Mr. Learman, nice to see you again." Goose said.
"Same Sigmund." He said.
"What a horrible name." Cailin laughed.
"What a bitchy attitude." Goose said. I couldn't help but laugh again.
"Bye Alex." I said. Goose and I walked up to the ticket counter and bought two tickets.

11:09 PM
Sarah said...
We got inside and he insisted that I sit on the bench while he got popcorn. While I was sitting there, Alex walked up to me. He sat down next to me. "You should come by tonight." He said.
"Where is Cailin?" I asked.
"Bathroom." He said.
"Ah."
"So? What'll it be?" He asked.
"I'm not sure. I'll give you a call later though." I said.
"I'll be waiting." He said. He rubbed the back of my neck and stood up. He smiled at me and I smiled back. "Enjoy yout movie." He said and then walked away.

11:18 PM
Christina said...
Goose came back with the popcorn and then we went to the movie. When it was over he drove me over to his place to hang out. He lived with a couple other guys in an apartment. The place was an absolute mess, and it smelled kind of funny.
"I can't stay too long. I told my brother I'd hang out with him tonight." I lied. I had intended on sticking around untill I got inside. I kept thinking of Alex too.
"No problem." He said, and we walked back to his room.

11:27 PM
Sarah said...
His room wasn't as messy. He had a twin bed on one side of the wall and a dresser on the other side. Then he had a couple guitars leaned up against the wall and some notebooks and pencils on the floor. There were some clothes thrown on the floor in a few spots, but overall his room didn't look too bad. His walls were pretty bare. He just had some medals and patches up on a little bulletin board. I walked over to them. "What are these?" I asked.
"Oh my Pops earned those in Vietnam." He said.
"Oh wow. That's really neat." I said.
"He died last year and my Mom gave me them." He said.
I noticed there were five purple heart medals. "What is this one for?" I asked poiting to one.
"Oh those are wound medals." He said.
"He was wounded five times?" I asked.
"Yes. Only one was major though." He said.
"Wow." I said. I looked at him and he looked kind of sad, so I stopped talking about it. I sat down on his bed. "So, I see you play the guitar too." I said. "Do you write your own songs?"
"Yeah. Sorry." He said picking up the papers.
"Sig!" A guy shouted.
"What?" Goose asked.
"We're gonna go grab some Burger King. You want anything?" The guy asked.
He looked at me and stood up. "Do you want anything?" He asked.
"Sure." I said.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I'll just have the chicken sandwich." I said.
"Okay." He said. He left the room.

10:44 AM
Christina said...
He came back a minute later.
"They'll be back with it soon." He said.
"Awesome. Can you play for me?" I asked, pointing to the guitars.
"Uh, I don't know. I only play what I write, and I don't know if you will like it." He said.
"Whether I like it or not doesn't matter. All that matters is you enjoy playing." I told him. He smiled at me and picked one up, then sat next to me on the bed.

10:55 AM
Sarah said...
"I wrote this one for my Pops." He said. "I played it at his funeral."
I just smiled. I didn't know what to say. He started playing. It sounded really good. "Does it have words?" I asked.
"Yes. . ." He said.
"Will you sing?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Benny sings it with me." He smiled.
"Is Benny one of your roommates?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said.
"Will you guys sing it for me and play it?" I asked.
"I'll ask him when they get back." He said, "He plays a little something for it too. We actually recorded it at our friends studio once too."
"Awesome. Can I hear it?" I asked.
"Um, sure." He said, "You should hear us play it first though."
"Okay." I said smiling.
They got back with the food and we all ate in the living room. Goose asked Benny about playing the song and he looked excited. He went to his room and got his guitar. "We havn't played together for a while." Benny said.
Goose got his guitar and they sat down on the floor. They started playing and singing together. They sounded so good. They harmonized well together. The lyrics to the song almost brought tears to my eyes. It was such a sweet song. "So, what did you think?" Goose asked.
"I loved it." I said smiling.
"I'm glad you liked it." Benny said with a smile.
"Can I have a copy of it?" I asked.
"Oh yeah we have a tape of that somewhere." Benny said.
"Yeah, it's in my closet." Goose said.

11:47 AM
Christina said...
"Guys, that really was something." I said.
"Thanks." Goose said. It was nice to see such a differant side of him.
"I'm Benny, by the way." Benny said, holding his hand out.
"Ally." I said.
"Oh, Ally! I've heard about you!" Benny said.
"Dude!" Goose said, kind of blushing. I just laughed. He got up, and helped me up.
"I'll get you the tape." He said.
"Okay, thanks." I said, as we walked back to his room. I sat down on his bed while he dug around in his closet.
"You have such a sweet side." I told him.
"Uh, thanks I guess."
"Hey, it's a good thing." I told him. He came out and handed me the tape,"Thank you so much." I told him.
"Sure." He said, and sat down on the bed. I kissed his cheek, and he smiled.
"I guess we havn't actually kissed when we both havn't been drunk, have we?" He asked.
"No, I guess not." I said. Then I leaned over and kissed him.

1:28 PM
Sarah said...
"Well, it was fun hanging out with you." I said smiling.
"Next time, I won't take you roller skating." He said.
I laughed, "It was still fun."
He shrugged his shoulders. I sat up. "Well, I better get going." I said.
"Okay." He said standing up.
"Is this your only copy of the song?" I asked.
"No, I've got a few. That on is a copy I made so you can keep it." He said.
"Thanks." I said.
He walked me out of his room. "Bye." I said to Benny.
"Oh. By the way, this is Jared and Kevin." Benny said pointing to the other two guys that were there.
"Sorry I am bad about introducing people." Goose said.
They waved. "Bye guys." I said. I walked slowly hoping Goose would walk me to my car, but he didn't. "Bye." I said again and left.
