Chapter 5 Pain - III

一 What happened to you? 一 I asked worriedly and the boy just took a breath.

一 Diarrhea, glad you showed up 一 Brendon patted his stomach twice which made me laugh.

You had me worried sick, don't do that anymore," I asked.

一 If I stopped to talk I'd wet my pants.

一 Just like you did when we were kids at the amusement park right after seeing a clown.

一 But it wasn't me who threw up after eating a cotton candy 一 He smiled mischievously too.

一 That time was really good, too bad it's not coming back anymore 一 I commented.

Unfortunately man, but we should enjoy the now, and now I brought you an English activity for you to do.

一 Of course you didn't come here just to defecate.

Let's go to my room.

Luckily for me or luckily for Brendon who hated messes, the room was all organized since the last time two days before the vacations he came and cleaned my room, sometimes he looked like a perfectionist older brother who hated the mess his younger brother made, but it turns out that we were the same age with a difference of fifteen days, anyway he was still a little older, but not something to be surprised about since it was only days, it was as if our mothers had agreed to have their children in the same month.

一 Where is your notebook? He asked, looking for my backpack.

一 I'll get it, it's inside the closet.

一 Alright 一 He said sitting down on my bed and taking out his notebook.

When I got my backpack, I went straight to the bed and threw myself on top of it almost hitting him, which made him roll his eyes and point to the small text that the teacher gave us so that we could fix the mistakes that were visible in it. I opened the empty English subject and started to write boringly, when Brendon calls my attention asking if he could play on my computer, he knew he could and that I didn't mind him messing with my stuff, but he was a very polite boy and that from an early age his mother taught him to ask before he put his hand in.

一 You know you can, you don't have to ask me and you know it 一 I rolled my eyes and he smiled mischievously.

一 You know I don't like to put my hands in other people's things, unlike those people at school.

Speaking of school, how did it go today? 一 I asked curious.

Well, Mark pretended that I didn't exist, Emilly looked weird, as if she was forced to endure all that, and Helena, well, Helena was hot.

一 You're still in love with her 一 I joked, but in a way that was true, since sometimes he showed a certain attraction for the girl and that left me with no doubt that he really liked her, even though he tried to repress it.

一 Of course not, she's dating and 一 He stopped in the middle of his sentence and turned his attention back to the computer.

一 AND? 一 I asked.

一 She would never be attracted to me.

She'd be an idiot not to feel anything for you.

一 Idiot 一 He laughed and turned back to his computer.

Brendon was a very handsome guy, I didn't say that because he was my best friend, but because of his build. His wavy light brown hair was enough to make anyone envious, as well as his half greenish eyes, the barrocks that came in when he smiled brought a charm to my best friend, and if Helena didn't feel anything for him if she was close she really was an idiot. I went back to writing the large two-sheet text when a particular noise caught my attention, it was like screams, but when I stopped to listen properly I realized they were moans and these were coming from Emilly's room that had its window locked and covered by its curtain.

Sometimes this happened, not so often but it happened, they were always very scandalous when they had sex, which there was no need for that, because it always made me uncomfortable, not to mention that the other neighbors always complained to their parents who ended up giving the girl a hard time about it, but it didn't do much good since she always did it again and again. I turned on the stereo beside my computer and turned it up as loud as I could, which made Brendon quickly remove the headset and look at me confused.

一 Are they having sex again? He asked with a frown.

They are, and they're getting in the way of my almost-exercise.

一 It only bothers you because you like her.

一 Go back to playing quietly, please.

He went back to paying attention to the game while I concentrated on writing the text, after thirty minutes I had finished and called Brendon to eat the macaroni my mom had left in the fridge and the boy accepted, the loud sound was already giving me a headache when I decided to turn it off, it wasn't possible that after almost forty minutes they hadn't finished yet, but they did, and instead of moaning, it became screaming, but not screaming of pleasure, but of fighting, which was also normal since something always irritated her and he tried to blame her for something that was solely and exclusively his fault.

一 Fights in paradise 一 Brendon sneered

一 Yeah, apparently so.

I don't understand what a nice girl does with a guy like him.

一 I asked myself the same thing and got no answer.

Maybe she likes to suffer.

一 Yeah, maybe so, but only the two of them know what happens inside their relationship, but coming from Mark, I don't think good things are coming 一 I sighed.

We continued our conversation and right after our meal we stayed playing video games until the evening, where he had dinner with me and my parents, and when it was eight o'clock at night, his mother came to pick him up, we promised to meet the next day at school and so it would be done, my day ended better than the previous one and I thanked Brendon for that.
