Jonathan just sat there shocked at what Reggie had just asked him.
"What the hell dude?"
"Oh, well I just wanted to know." Reggie said laughing. "It was just a
harmless question." He now said sarcastically.
"Uhh, I’ll talk to you tomorrow man." Jon said laughing shaking his head.
"Alright man see you at practice tomorrow. Oh yeah! Don’t call back, I’m
gonna go back to sleep." Reggie said sounding rather angry.
"Okay." Jon said hanging up the phone.
Jonathan quickly stood to his feet and headed toward his bedroom. As he
entered the room he stopped to stare at his half made bed. He wanted very
much to surround himself in his sheets but instead he walked past his bed and
went straight to the bathroom. He bent over to turn the water on to his tub.
He could see the steam rising from the extremely hot water. He started to
undress himself. When he was finished he climbed into the water flinching to
the burning sensation. He gave a long sigh as his body adjusted to the heat.
He felt every inch of his body relax. He pushed himself deeper into the
water. It was up to his chin now, and the tips of his dreads floated on the
surface.
He closed his eyes and began to submerge his body even further into the hot
soothing water. After 2 hours he finally finished his long but relaxing bath.
He raised his wrinkled body out of the tub, wrapped a towel around his waist
and headed toward his bed. As he approached his bed he ripped off his towel
pulled back the sheets and covers and surrounded himself between them not
even thinking about drying off. He gave off a long sigh as he dosed off to a
sound sleep.
(NEXT DAY 1:30PM IN THE AFTERNOON)
Jonathan still lay there sleeping. He was dreaming about a party that he,
Reggie and Head had went to months ago. Head was talking to some girls who
wanted to get into his pants, Reggie was drunk off his ass and Jon was just
sitting there watching everybody else talk as usual. As realistic and
surprisingly pleasant this dream was for Jon, it was cut short by loud phone
ringing.
"Fuck!" Jon yelled as he reached for his phone.
"Hello."
"What the fuck are you doin man!" The voice yelled through the phone.
"Who is this?" Jon asked completely confused.
"Who the fuck do you think this is man? You were supposed to be here over an
hour ago!"
"Head?" Jon asked not knowing if it was Head or Munky.
"Yeah its me man, get your ass here now dude!"
"Okay, I’ll be there in 30 min." Jon hung up the phone and got out of bed. He
got dressed quickly not even paying attention to what he put on. He grabbed
his keys and left the house.
(2:10pm)
Jonathan walked up Heads driveway and wrung the doorbell. The door flew open
and there Head stood.
"What the fuck is wrong with you man?!" Head yelled looking at Jon angrily.
"I’m sorry man I was just hella tired."
"Whatever dude!" Head snapped.
Jonathan just stared at Head not understanding why he was so pissed. He
finally gave up trying to figure it out and stepped inside. He walked into
the living room and saw that all eyes were on him. For the first time
Jonathan felt like an outsider. He looked around the room. Everyone stared at
the television as if they were so interested to hear about Vagisil.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked looking at Head, but he just rolled his
eyes and walked into the kitchen. Jonathan looked at Fieldy who was trying so
hard not to look at him. "Fieldy, what’s going on man?" Jon asked desperately
trying to get an answer.
"I told them man." Fieldy said softly
"Told them what?"
"God-damnit Jon, don’t act like you don’t fucking know!" Head yelled from the
kitchen.
Jon quickly knew what he was talking about. Fieldy told them about his last
night session with Kalarnia. Jon looked at Fieldy in disbelief that he would
betray him.
"I’m sorry dude, they got it out of me." Fieldy said honestly.
"What the fuck were you thinking man?" Munky asked still staring at the
television.
"Leave Jon alone man, if he wanted us to know he would have told us!" David
yelled in his defense.
"Shut the fuck up David!" Both Munky and Head yelled.
"Look I really don’t want to talk about this, its actually none of your
business anyway." Jon said looking directly at Munky and Head.
"Fine!" Head said grabbing his guitar
Munky, Fieldy, and David all followed in retrieving their instruments.
Jonathan took his place behind the microphone.
"So what song are we going to do first?" Jon asked. There was no answer. He
looked at Munky who had just rolled his eyes at the question.
"Fine!" Jon yelled throwing down his microphone and heading toward the front
door.
"No Jon wait!" Fieldy yelled trying to stop him but he was too late Jon had
already stepped out of the house slamming the door behind him.
(3:01pm)
Jonathan unlocked his door viciously, opened it and slammed the door. He
walked to his couch and plopped his long body down. He began to cry. He felt
so sorry for himself. And once again he had no one to turn to for comfort. He
was abandoned by his wife and his most dear friends. "What am I going to do?
He thought to himself. He needed someone, anyone to be there with him. He got
up off the couch and walked over to the telephone. There Kalarnia’s number
sat, just waiting to be used. Jon picked up the phone.
" 5,5,5,- 4,2,7,8." He said aloud to himself as he slowly dialed the number.
(2 RINGS PASSED)
"Hello?"
"Can I speak to Kalarnia please.".
"So you need me?" Kalarnia said softly as if she knew he would call.
"Uhh, what makes you think that?" Jon asked childishly.
"Well, I told you to call when you needed me and well…. You called. So do you
need me or not?" She asked already knowing the answer.
"Yes." Jon said quickly.
"I’ll be there is 20 minutes."
