Suzy’s Strange Saga
“Maybe we could look together.” You say.
Julie looks a bit hesitant at your proposal.
“I…I dunno…I’m just not in the mood right now...”
“Come on Julie, I’ll help. The cleaning can wait.”
“Well… I guess it would be good to know what to do and where to start at least. Why don’t you grab your laptop and come back up here and we can get to it.”
You head downstairs and back to your room where you pick up your laptop. Upon exiting the room, you scream out when you literally bump into Johnny.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” you scream and nearly drop your laptop in the process. Johnny doesn’t do anything except stand there.
“SUZY! What’s going on down there?!” you hear Julie shout.
“Johnny what the fuck are you doing creeping around like that?! You scared the shit out of me!” you exclaim backing away into the living room still in a bit of a panic. Johnny doesn’t move he just continues to stand there in the hallway.
“I’m not creeping. I just finished cleaning the basement, it was a real mess down there.” Johnny says.
“I called your name earlier and you never answered!” you say.
“I guess I didn’t hear you. What’re you getting so excited about?”
“Because you’re fucking creeping around the house like a psycho! I think you need to leave!” you say with authority, but you’re really scared deep down inside.
At this point Julie has come down the stairs and arrived.
“Johnny, I thought you left. What’re you still doing here?” Julie asks.
“Nothing, I just finished cleaning your basement. You know I feel like my efforts aren’t being appreciated and you’re not being a good host.”
“Good host? Alright fine, I thank you for your help, but you’re obviously scaring my friend and the party’s long been over anyway, so get the fuck out.” Julie orders.
While you half expect Johnny to show some sort of anger or even get violent, fortunately it doesn’t come to that. He remains completely calm. Like dead featureless expression calm. Which is almost scarier.
“Okay. Sorry I caused distress.” He says and walks past you and Julie (you both give him a wide berth) and goes out the front door. You immediately start locking it up.
“Julie, go lock your back door.” You say busily putting the chains on the door.
“Wow, that guy really got to you…”
“Julie, please just go check your fucking back door!”
“Okay, okay!”
Julie leaves to go just that, but you only end up following her anyway. The backdoor is actually already locked though Julie rechecks it just to be sure.
“See, we’re safe…shit, Suzy, you’re actually shaking.”
“Of course I’m fucking shaking! I just had a goddamn flashback to when my Uncle Ed caught me finding the body parts of his victims! I’m telling you there was something wrong with that guy!” you say still looking around like Johnny is still lurking about.
“Shhh…it’s okay now. He’s gone, and if it makes you feel any better he won’t be allowed in here anymore. Hell we probably won’t see him again anyway.” Julie says placing her hands on your arms in an effort to sooth and calm you down.
“I think I need to lie down.” You say feeling wobbly and unable to catch your breath.
Julie escorts you back to your room where you lay down on the bed.
“I…don’t think I’m in the mood to look for jobs with you right now Julie.”
“That’s okay Suzy, I wasn’t really in the mood to look for one anyway.” Julie says with a smile.
“God, my heart is really racing…I feel like I’m going to pass out.”
“You want me to get you some water or something?”
“No, don’t go. Stay with me.” You say grabbing on to Julie’s hand.
“Okay. I’ll stay here. Whatever you want. I’m here for you.” Julie says squeezing your hand while sitting on the edge of the bed.
You slowly begin to calm down and eventually you stop hyperventilating. Julie stays with you saying nothing, but just being supportive by sticking with you like a friend should.
You start to feel safer and close your eyes since the stress has still made you a bit weary. Before you know it you’ve fallen back to sleep.
Hours later…
You wake up and find yourself alone.
You grab your cell where you left it by the bed last time and see that it’s only a few hours to midnight. (Nobody has tried calling you either.) The odd thing is you don’t hear any music or the sounds of people. Normally Julie would have a gathering by now, and it’s odd that you’re not hearing it.
You then start to worry if something has happened. Still thinking about your incident with Johnny earlier today, you rush to the desk and grab the pistol you found before and load it up. Your older brother Ben showed you how to handle a gun once, you weren’t exactly very good with it, but you feel safer with it.
Cautiously, you open the door and slowly walk out into the hallway looking around you.
You then hear a male voice coming from the living room.
“Shut the fuck up bitch and take it!”
“JULIE!” you scream and run into the living room with your pistol draw and pointed in front of you.
“HOLY FUCK SUZY!” Julie shouts and falls off the couch, dropping her console controller and ducking for cover.
You then see on her TV screen the origin of the male voice. It’s her character. She’s playing some sort of crime simulator.
Now Julie’s the one with the heart palpitations!
“Goddamn Suzy, you scared the shit out of me! What the fuck are you doing with a gun anyway?!”
“It was in your dad’s desk. Sorry. I just woke up alone and…I guess I’m still a little scared.”
“Well I was a lot scared when I saw that shit pointed at me! Especially with the game I’m playing, I thought I unlocked some sort of 3D mode for a second.” Julie says with a very small chuckle.
You apologize again and sit down next to Julie who has recovered and is busily trying to get her bearings again on her game.
“Shit, some fucker robbed me while I was distracted. Gonna have to find and chase his ass down now. Wanna help? Got another controller.” Julie says.
“No, I think I’ll just watch right now… so no party tonight?” you ask.
“Nah, I mean there were some people that showed up earlier tonight, but I told them all to go back home since I cancelled it tonight. I figure after what happened earlier today with you, you could use the peace.”
“Thank you Julie, that was really thoughtful.”
“Don’t mention it. Besides, I figure this would be a good opportunity to start that life change like I mentioned before. Still didn’t look for a job though.”
“Hah, well one day at a time…so is Donna here somewhere?”
“Nope, still hasn’t come home yet. I actually tried calling her, but no answer. I guess she’s got it turned off or the battery’s dead. Probably at a club or something .”
“I hope so…I’m starting to worry now.”
“I told you she’s probably at a club or something. Like I said before, she doesn’t always sleep here.”
“Maybe so, but given that that creepy fuck said he saw he last, well it makes me a bit suspicious.”
“You still worried about him? Told ya, that guy was just an awkward aspie. Probably just didn’t know how to talk to girls. Here, why don’t you join my game? You’re obviously already in a shooting mood, it’ll take your mind off things.”
Trusting that it couldn’t hurt, you grab a video game controller and start committing virtual homicide on a grand scale. Oddly, it does make you feel a little better and you both play a little past midnight.
“Well, that was fun, I think I’m going to bed.” Julie says yawning.
“Really? Seems early for you.”
“Well unlike you I haven’t slept, plus I’m not hopped up on designer drugs like I sometimes am when I’m partying. Amazing what being clean for a whole day does to you.”
As Julie gets up to go to head off to bed, you aren’t exactly tired yet, but you’re still a little nervous about being by yourself.
You can’t believe you’re going to ask this…
“Julie?”
“Yes?”
“Can you sleep with me tonight?”
Julie’s expression to this request says it all.
“Well okay, but stay on your side of the bed and if anything of yours touches anything of mine, you better respect me in the morning.” She says with a big grin on her face.
You head back to your room Julie taking the pistol with you, which Julie really disapproves of, but doesn’t protest too much since she’s just happy you’re spending yet ANOTHER night in the same bed with her.
After locking the door and placing the pistol where you can easily reach it, you get into bed with Julie who to her credit does keep to one side of the bed and quickly fall asleep.
You’re up for a little while longer, but eventually you feel safe enough to let your guard down and fall asleep as well.
Julie looks a bit hesitant at your proposal.
“I…I dunno…I’m just not in the mood right now...”
“Come on Julie, I’ll help. The cleaning can wait.”
“Well… I guess it would be good to know what to do and where to start at least. Why don’t you grab your laptop and come back up here and we can get to it.”
