Happy Anniversary

I was relieved to notice that the tension in the house really dimmed down this week. I was sleeping back in my bed with my wife, instead of Pony. -.-
Yesterday was mine and Katies first anniversary. We've been married a whole year and have already been through so much. I laid awake in bed just staring at the ceiling till katie moved beside me. I noticed she was awake. We laid there... talking baby names and plans for tonight and stuff. We went to downtown Tulsa and had brunch. I know...who the hell has brunch these days? We walked the streets and stopped at every shop that caught Katies eye. We picked up food for the party on the way home.
People started coming over around 6. Darry got the steaks goin on the grill while Pony Katie and me set up stuff in the house.
I stayed far away from the beer, dont need a repeat. The first game we played was...interesting. A guy is blindfolded then all the girls kiss him once and he has to guess who it was. I went first and got them all wrong except katie....and kitty cause she kissed me on the cheek instead. The only one who guess everyone correct was Dallas, ofcourse..hes probably made out with every chick in the gang....he even guessed Steve right o.O
After that the stereo was bustin loud and people were dancing. I was standing close to the door when is slowly opened,
"Hey Tyler. Glad you could make it man." I welcomed him inside.
"Yeah......congratulations by the way." He said.
He kinda chilled by the wall for a while, wasn't really talking to anyone so I went up to him and pulled the first person I could on my way, which happened to be Bree. She was yellin at me...untill I stopped her in front of Tyler.
"Oh. Well hello handsome." she said.
I left them and walked outside where Carson was winning at beer pong. Couples occupied every corner of the house and backyard, Angela and Johnny, Pony and Brooke, Tim and Jamie, Dimitri and Jelly, Chase and Dawn. This happens every time, but as soon as someone whips it out thats it im done. And that person just had to be Steve. He wasnt even making out with anyone... he walked around sayin "Who wants to touch my weiner?", finally someone said yes....dunno who. Elena was stripping on the kitchen table with a bottle of vodka in her hand. Pony and Johnny decided to give their tongues a break and streaked through the house wearing kiddie inner tubes and putting britney spears full blast on the stereo. Kitty and twobit took things easy, and marcia thought it best to stay away.....so did Sandy, thank god. The brumley kids were smokin pot in ponys room, filled the whole damn house with smoke. People brought us presents and we had a huge cake made. At the end we busted out the champagne and Darry made a toast speech thing then everyone slowly started to leave after that. It was a great nigh celebrating a great occasion with the best person in the world, my wife Katie.

Happy Days

I never seemed to notice Tyler before, but now that I know who he is he seems to be everywhere. We had a nice dinner that night I invited him over, at least I think we did. Introduced him to the family. Poor kids never really had good friends, I cant imagine the torment of being a soc gone greaser. Its never happened before, but that makes him more of an outcast than any of us. After Tyler left that night I took a shower and was gonna go to bed but as I started for Ponys room a hand reached out from the doorway and rested on my chest,
"I heard everything you said..... to Bob." Katie said.
"It was all true." I replied softly.
'I know," our eyes locked, "I've always known, I was just.... just hurt I guess."
"And you had ever right to be, I messed up and I'm so so sorry." I contained the tears this time. "But your the one I love Katie, and I wont let you slip away from me.... id die without you." I always found that line in movies humorous little did I know id actually feel that way.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed me. I held her against me, my fingers tangled in her hair. Oh how I missed this, I breathed it in. Then she slipped away kissing me on the cheek. I stared at her for a moment, then stroking her cheek I pressed my lips against hers.
"I love you." I said.
When she pulled away she caught my hand and pulled me into the room... our room. It was nice to be back in my own bed for a change, next to the person I love most.

Deadly Encounters

I decided to relieve myself from the tension thats currently building up in my house and go out for a bit this weekend. I hit up the tastee freeze, then the vacant lot, i made sure to stay as far away as possible from the bars -.- I thought about what we needed at home and made up a list to go shopping. I was pacing the isles when I looked up and saw someone familiar, it was Sandys friend Mark, the one who did the DNA test that stated the baby Sandy is having is apparently mine. My first instinct was to ignore him, and i started to. I know he knew I was there, he kept looking over and fidgeting with a box in his hand. Finally he walked up to me,
"Look man, I need to tell you something," he was very hesitant. "I cant ruin anyones life like this and you deserve to know the truth."
I was confused. I retraced the last encounter we had but nothing was catching my attention.
"The baby isn't yours....it's Sam's"
I was confused.
"Why the hell would you lie about it?" I asked.
"Because.... its what she wanted. She says leaving you was the stupidest thing she ever did, and well when she realized your life turned out okay and her's didnt exactly turn out how she wanted, I just thought it would help her, but as much as i care for Sandy, I cant do this to you."
I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I was relieved to know the kid wasnt mine, but I still couldnt grasp the fact that he lied to me. What if he had never told me the truth?
After that he just kinda awkwardly walked off leaving me there in shock.
I felt like a huge chunk of this had worn away, yeah I still cheated but I now didnt have kid that wasnt my wifes to worry about.

I paced home after that, on my way to tell Katie about it, hopefully it would lighten things a little. I had just about reached the curb infront of my house when I hear a voice behind me, a voice i knew all to well but one i wish i hadnt known at all,
"Well, well if aint the prettiest curtis."
I turned around and faced the person I hated most in the world.
"What the hell do you want Sheldon?" I wasnt in the mood for his drama.
"I heard about your whorish little act. Didnt know you had it in you." He gave me that devilish grin that I so much hated.
I didnt want to mess with Bob, I really just wasnt in the mood for it right now, then again I never am.
"And with your ex-girlfriend... damn curtis and I thought I was the only thing that ruined your life." he laughed at his own joke.
I was fed up and frustrated. I was going to punch him the the mouth if he got any closer to me. Finally, I had enough,
"You know what Bob," I was yelling, im pretty sure the whole south and north side could hear me, "You did me a favor, if you had never taken Sandy from me I wouldnt be with the woman im with now, and i would rather die than to live life without her."
He started to move towards me, but something held him back.
"Leave him alone Bob." another voice, this one I didnt recognize.
"Go home, this isnt your fight." Bob was arguing with the person behind me.
I turned to look at him, I didnt recognize his face. It wasnt till Bob said his name when it finally connected in my head,
"Go home Tyler, your not wanted here." Bob was getting angry.
Tyler approached me, Bob just stood there a second then got back in his car and drove off.
"Tyler?" I couldn't believe it. "The younger Sheldon?"
The Sheldon parents split a while back, it wasnt a surprise to anyone really, we all saw that coming. Bob stayed with his dad on the South side. His dad was the one with all the money so when they split Tyler and his mom moved deep into the North side, making Tyler technically a greaser. Tyler wasnt ever seen with the soc crowd anyways so it didnt seem to bother him, but a former soc going grease... kinda makes him an outcast.
"Yeah." I could tell he didnt like being refereed to as Bobs kid brother, cant blame the kid though. "Im usually the first to notice when he crosses into the north side, Dad was never good a discipline..." He trailed on, i felt he was trying to get something across but didnt have the time to burst out with a life story. He was hated by the socs but disliked by greasers... he didnt really fit in anywhere. He scribbled somethin on a piece of paper and handed it to me before he started to walk off.
"If he comes back, give me a call." and with that he left. I pulled out my phone and quickly dialed the number as I watched him walk away then pull out his phone answering it.
"Hey, do you wanna stay for dinner?" I asked.
He hung up, turned around and we both walked inside.
