Gordie POV
Chris slung his sleeping bag over his shoulder and proceeded to pick up Adelaide, despite her protests, ran her all the way to behind the Blue Point Diner, me right on his heels, asking what the hell we were doing. When we finally reached the diner, and Chris set Adelaide down and Adelaide said,
"What the actual hell Chris, if you insist on carrying me, at least give me a heads up."
Chris responded with a,
"Okay, fine."
I didn't care, and said,
"What is it?"
Chris stuck his hand into his sleeping bag and pulled out a gun. He turned to shocked me, and a concerned Adelaide and said,
" You wanna be the Lone Ranger or the Cisco-kid!"
Adelaide still looked very concerned as I said,
"Jesus..."
Adelaide snapped out of her trance and said,
"Where the hell did ya get it?"
I handed her the gun, and she turned it over in her hands. She handed it back as Chris answered,
"I hawked it off my old man's bureau. It's a 45."
Adelaide and I looked at him and said in sync,
"We can see that."
I started fake shooting it, with my own sound effects as Adelaide asked,
"Got any shells for it?"
Chris answered,
"Yeah Doll,"
Adelaide flinched at the name, yet again, as Chris continued on,
"Took all that was left in the box. My dad will think that he used them himself shooting at beer cans while he was drunk."
I continued examining the gun while Adelaide continued her questions, following up with,
"Is it loaded?"
Chris looked offended, and answered with,
" Hell, no! What d'you think I am?"
Adelaide mumbled under her breath,
"An idiot."
He shot her a mock glare, but she wasn't paying attention. Instead, I pulled the trigger and to my shock the gun fired, we yelled,
"Jesus!"
Adelaide said,
"Let's get out of here!"
Chris (without warning) picked her up, and we started running. As we ran from the Blue Point, he started yelling,
"Gordie did it, Gordie Lachance, Gordie Lachance!"
Adelaide was laughing as I responded with an aggravated,
"Shut up!"
As we rounded the corner, we stumbled out of our jog, Chris said as he set Adelaide down,
"Oh man, you should have seen your face! Yeah, that was cool! That was really fine"
Once Adelaide was on the ground, he wrapped his arm around her waist for support, and he turned to her and asked,
"Is that good, Doll?"
She nodded, not even acknowledging the nickname, while I said,
"You knew it was loaded, you wet end! I'll be in trouble now that Tupper-babe saw me!"
Adelaide looked at me like I was stupid and said,
"Shit, Gordie, she thought it was firecrackers"
I responded with,
"I don't care, Adelaide. It was a mean trick Chris pulled."
Chris stopped me with his free arm, turned me around and said,
"Hey, Gordie. I didn't know it was loaded. Honest."
I proceeded to make him pinky swear, then all three of us continued to walk down the street. We walked in peace until Ace and Eyeball appeared out of a store, and Ace took the hat Denny gave me off of my head, and Eyeball said,
"Hey, girls, where you goin'?"
I responded to Ace taking my hat with,
"Hey, come on man, my brother gave me that!"
Ace responded with,
"And now you have given it to me,"
As he held it out of my reach. I was getting annoyed, and started yelling at him, saying,
"Give it to me! Come on! Man! That's mine!"
Chris was getting really aggravated and said,
"You're a real asshole, you know that?"
And Adelaide muttered under her breath,
"Damn straight."
Chris' comment caught Ace's attention, and he stopped messing with Denny's hat, handed it over to Eyeball, threw out his cigarette, stalked over to Chris, (who was still holding up Adelaide), and said,
"Your brother's not very polite, Eyeball. It's a wonder he got a slut to bang him."
Chris and Adelaide's stance shifts were very minute, and undetectable if you didn't know them well.
Adelaide's brown eyes had a new glassy sheen, and her hard exterior had a small fracture, her thin-lined mouth with a new, slight sag. Her small frame melded closer toward Chris, shrinking her. Overall, small differences, but I could tell that she was trying to shrink herself.
Chris's blue eyes hardened, more than usual. His expression had a sharper edge that came out, due to his protective nature. As Adelaide's body sagged into his athletic figure, he stood a little stronger. Most for me, the most noticeable change was that he pulled Adelaide a little closer. His knuckles turned white as he pulled her close.
No one calls Adelaide a slut.
As these little physical changes were happening, Eyeball said,
"Now Christopher. I know you didn't mean to insult my friend."
Ace started down Chris and said,
"I know he didn't mean to insult me. That's why I gonna give him the opportunity of taking it back."
After a few seconds, Ace grabbed Chris by the neck and started throwing him to the ground, but Chris threw Adelaide off of him, slamming her into the window of the shop. He hit the floor and Ace pinned him. Chris groaned out in pain,
"Ah, oh shit!"
As Ace hollered at him,
"Take it back!"
We all started yelling, Ace for him to take it back, Chris yelling out in pain, and me and Adelaide yelling at Ace to get off of him. Eyeball just sat back and watched until Chris said,
"Okay, okay, I take it back I take it back."
Ace immediately picked Chris up, while Eyeball picked up Adelaide off the window and threw her at Chris. Before she could crumble to the ground due to the lack of support, Chris grabbed her waist, supported her weight and held her upright. Ace proceeded to say,
"There. Now I feel a whole lot better about this. How about you?"
When we didn't respond, he said,
"Good."
He patted me on the side of my face, turned around and lumbered away, as Eyeball,(with my hat still on his head) before turning around himself, said,
"See you later, Girls."
I watched him walk away with my hat, as Chris and Adelaide turned around to leave, Adelaide noticed me not going with them. Knowing what had upset me, she dragged Chris back toward me to say,
"Come on, just forget them."
Chris nodded in agreement as he responded,
"Yeah, she's right,"
He swung Adelaide around so that she could attach me. She threw her free arm around my shoulders, and we started walking as Chris continued,
"Now come on, we have to go to the pharmacy to grab some stuff to fix Dolly up."
