"Rosie? I have been meaning to ask you... I mean. I feel embarrassed. But-" Here it came. "My Father is on my ass, and won't let me live with him and Ma because of the whole jail thing. So I was wondering... what do you think about me moving in here with you?" His eyes were so sweet, looking at her like a lost puppy dog.
Now, usually Rose was immune to guilt. She knew when she was being played, and always hated it. But Seth and her had a history. Has he not been around, her home life in elementary and middle school would have been pure hell. They had been thick as thieves, the two bandito's.
When Rose's Father went on one of his rampages, she could always count on Seth to be their and listen. And when his Mother went all manic and crazy, banging around their apartment, he always snuck over to sleep on Rose's floor. Even his Grand Theft Auto was because of Rose, because she had mentioned a pearl necklace that she had wanted. Because all proper, well-to-do ladies wore pearls. He stuck his neck out to give her something beautiful, and ended up wasting six years of his life.
How could she say no to him.
They were cut from the same cloth, Seth and Rose.
Biting her lip, she nodded. It really wasn't a matter of consideration. "Seth, you know your always welcome here."
She looked up at Guillermo, trying to tell him it was out of her hands, without being so cruel as to say it out loud.

"Mmm. Isn't that something?" Seth licked his lips, tearing his eyes away from Rose to look Guillermo.
Keep you hands and eyes to yourself, fucker.
"I'm sorry, I didn't interrupt something, did I?" he chuckled, throwing him a kinda creepy smile.
He wanted to reach out and throttle him. It would be so easy..
But he got up and went to Rose, putting on the puppy-face.
"Rosie? I have been meaning to ask you... I mean. I feel embarrassed. But- My Father is on my ass, and won't let me live with him and Ma because of the whole jail thing. So I was wondering... what do you think about me moving in here with you?"
FUCKING HELL NO.
NO, NO, NO. No way in hell.
Not gonna happen.
Guillermo watched her eyes soften.
No. Come on, Rose! You're tough as solid diamond!
Don't allow this creep in your house.
His round eyes watched in horror as she nodded slowly.
"Seth, you know your always welcome here."
GODDAMNIT
He stood and went over next to Seth, raising his hand and-
clapped it on the other dude's back.
"Hey, man. Are you sure you wanna stay with a chick? I mean, honestly. How about you come live with me? I mean, I'm right next door anyway. You can see Rose all the time."
His mind screamed in protest.
He didn't want this guy looking at Rose. Not now, not ever.

"You won't regret it Chicken. Let me just go get-"
Guillermo's voice hit his ears like nails on a chalkboard. "Hey, man. Are you sure you wanna stay with a chick? I mean, honestly. How about you come live with me? I mean, I'm right next door anyway. You can see Rose all the time." Seth couldn't contain the horror on his face, though he tried quickly to repair it.
BASTARD. SETH WOULD KILL HIM!
Turning his head away from Rose, his precious jewel, his angel, he stared at the intruder menacingly, his loathing apparent. But he couldn't talk, not yet. If he opened his mouth, he'd start shrieking in rage. No. He had to stay calm.
"That's very generous..." His voice was hoarse with rage, though he did his best to hold in the anger. "But, I mean, you barely know me. For all you know you hate my guts." His pale eyes stared down Guillermo's beady, rat, eyes. GOD HE HATED HIM! He turned to Rose, his eyes almost pleading. "What do you think?"
Rose would have his back! He could count on her! She wanted him to live here, as much as he did. She'd rescue him, just like she always did!

"You won't regret it Chicken. Let me just go get-" "Hey, man. Are you sure you wanna stay with a chick? I mean, honestly. How about you come live with me? I mean, I'm right next door anyway. You can see Rose all the time." Rose's eye's stared on Guillermo, shocked at the sudden gesture of generosity. Why would he do that? He barely knew Seth...
Damn, they must have hit it off.
Seth seemed stunned with the gesture as well. "That's very generous... But, I mean, you barely know me. For all you know you hate my guts. What do you think?" Rose laughed, still a little stunned. Her smile was glittering at Guillermo.
"I think it's a great idea." Rose said, standing up to find an ash tray, Seth's hand sliding off her leg. "Whenever the one of you gets sick of the other, someone can come stay with me." She laughed jokingly.
But to her it sounded like the best possible situation. Finding the ash tray, she flicked her cigarette, her mind already buzzing. "Seth, now that your out, you don't need me cramping your style-" Or cramping mine, she thought guiltily. "You guys can sort out one of those weird sock things that guys do, with the door knob and stuff. It'll be great." She understood Seth's worry, as he did basically just meet Guillermo. "C'mon Foxy, don't be so glum. Guillermo's great. He comes from glowing recommendations from myself." She giggled, trying to figure out which beer was hers. Picking one out of the bunch, she sipped it lightly, grinning at Guillermo.
He was a good guy, Guillermo. Beneath his tough exterior and pretend aloofness, he was a good guy. "Bet he'd even help you get your shit out of your car. And you know I'm not that helpful. Hell, you'd be lucky to get me to hold the door open."

"You won't regret it Chicken. Let me just go get-"
Seth stopped as Guillermo said his piece. He was sure that Seth was attempting to incinerate him with his eyes.
"That's very generous... But, I mean, you barely know me. For all you know you hate my guts. What do you think?"
Seth was silently pleading Rose to let him stay with her. She was oblivious.
Rose threw him a bright smile and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"I think it's a great idea. Whenever the one of you gets sick of the other, someone can come stay with me." Rose said, chuckling
"Come on, dude. This'll be great. Like college roomies. And all the beer and cigs you want."
"Seth, now that your out, you don't need me cramping your style- You guys can sort out one of those weird sock things that guys do, with the door knob and stuff. It'll be great. C'mon Foxy, don't be so glum. Guillermo's great. He comes from glowing recommendations from myself."
He caught Rose's eye, matching her slightly mischievous grin.
"Bet he'd even help you get your shit out of your car. And you know I'm not that helpful. Hell, you'd be lucky to get me to hold the door open."
Guillermo's smile faltered for a moment.
"Sure, no problem. Come on, Seth."
The sound of his name was like bile on his tongue.
Oh shit. This kid was coming to LIVE WITH HIM.
WHAT HAD HE DONE!?
This kid was gonna stab him in his sleep or even as soon as Rose's door swung closed.
He shrugged this off easily.
It had been a week or so since his last fight. He'd be ready if it came to that. |

The rest of the words didn't matter. She said it was a great idea. She didn't want to be roommates with him? She said it was a great idea.
HE WAS GOING TO KILL THIS PRICK.
Fucking gloating grin. So he won this round, big deal. It was a minor set back. What disgusted Seth most was Rose's wide grin at the idiot. Like he was some hero, coming up with some great idea. Made it sound like they would be right chums. No, Guillermo was selfish, trying to steal his Rose away. Putting on a smile, Seth looked at Guillermo with a big friendly grin. "If Rose thinks it's a good idea, I'm game."
He'd get this guy.
He'd pay.
"How 'bout we go get that stuff, before it gets much later." The seemingly innocent idea was laced with threat. His eyes glistened hungrily at Guillermo. The intruder. Opening the door, Seth motioned his hand as if to say: After you.
Seth wondered if he'd even have the guts to go first. "It's the maroon caddy, all the way in the back." Any marks... they could pass it as just boys being boys. Or he could just let Guillermo give the beating, as previously planned. That certainly sounded a lot better than being hit in the face.

His smile was too big and it didn't reach his eyes.
Seth was pissed.
"If Rose thinks it's a good idea, I'm game."
Yeah, I bet you are. As long as darling Rose says it, you'll do anything.
Even still, he was starting to feel uneasy.
"How 'bout we go get that stuff, before it gets much later."
He followed Seth to the door, his heart racing slightly. The tone in Seth's voice was dangerous. Obviously Rose was blinded by her delusions to think that this guy was alright.
His skin crawled as he passed the guy and walked into the hallway.
"It's the maroon caddy, all the way in the back."
Goosebumps erupted over his skin.
He felt the way a victim in a bloody horror movie feels.
Trapped. SORRY. Short...  |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] Out the door, Seth said nothing.
Going down the stairs, Seth said nothing.
Oh, no. Seth was going to let Guillermo sit in his mess. Get a taste in his mouth for it, let him think about it. All Guillermo would have had to do was go home tonight. Seth had been the gentlemen, he had given the slimy git that chance. He told him, it would be his best bet to leave now. Did Guillermo listen? Of course not. "You know," Seth started as the front door of the apartment building closed. "I've always wondered. Is she real sweet and timid, or is she as wily as she is in real life?"
Hit me. Hit me. Hit me.
"I bet she's a bit of both. You know, I thought about that neck of hers every day while I was locked up. I use to think about biting into it. Like you would a peach. It's over on the left." He pointed to his shameful, piece of shit car, with a trash bag for a back window. The spik comment had really gotten under Guillermo's skin. Seth tried that direction next. "You know, I've gotta hand it to you, Roberto. I had heard you wetbacks were crafty, but I sure as shit wasn't expecting you to pull that." Seth laughed, cruelly. "Won't make a difference though. It actually makes it easier. Any secret your keeping from her... I'll find out. I live with you now Bitch. No more secrets."
Hit me. HIT ME! Seth was tense, waiting for blow, hoping for the face. He had always bruised so easily. He wanted to cut Guillermo to his core. Hell, if he put him in the hospital, all the better. Nothing pleased Seth more than the idea of Nurse Rose tending his wounds... maybe even a sponge bath if he was lucky.

It was like waiting for a rattlesnake to strike. You knew it would happen, you just didn't know when."You know, I've always wondered. Is she real sweet and timid, or is she as wily as she is in real life?"Guillermo nearly froze in shock.
It just struck.
He would never answer that question.
Seth could rot in hell.
"I bet she's a bit of both. You know, I thought about that neck of hers every day while I was locked up. I use to think about biting into it. Like you would a peach. It's over on the left."
He wanted to kick in his face. How dare he talk about her like that?
Guillermo reached for the kid's bag of shit and pulled it up over his shoulder. He would endure the insults. He wouldn't stoop to Seth's level.
His eyes closed in concentration.
"You know, I've gotta hand it to you, Roberto. I had heard you wetbacks were crafty, but I sure as shit wasn't expecting you to pull that.Won't make a difference though. It actually makes it easier. Any secret your keeping from her... I'll find out. I live with you now Bitch. No more secrets."
"The thing is, Seth," spat Guillermo, "I don't keep secrets from Rose. Not like I could. She got the face of an angel. Anyone would spill their secrets to her. What I want to know is, what the fuck did I do to you? What, you aren't man enough to tell her you're crazy for her, but then you use all that crazy on trying to tempt me into fighting you? Well I won't do it."
His mind was made up.
And Guillermo Salaz-Ortiz was stubborn, goddamnit!

"Well, you won't do it." Mocked Seth, cutting Guillermo off. "You want to know what you did to me? I come here, expecting to find the girl I have loved, LOVED you fuck, since I was eight years old. I came here to woo her and all that shit. But you want to know something. I have some idiot spik, whose using her as a piece of fucking tail. You don't think I know your type?"
Seth stopped Guillermo, his hand like a claw on his rival's shoulder. "You think I haven't thought to myself I should just end this and tell her? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, how many dry sobs come to Rose and confess their love. No. She has to realize SHE LOVES ME!"
Seth got right into Guillermo's face, standing his ground. "C'mon Jose, hit me. I know you want to. Teach me a lesson. Do it, you worthless piece. Hit me. HIT ME!" He took his hand off Seth's shoulder, grabbing the collar of his shirt. He wanted Guillermo to feel threatened, to defend himself. Anything.

"Well, you won't do it," he mocked. His eyes were like stone. "You want to know what you did to me? I come here, expecting to find the girl I have loved, LOVED you fuck, since I was eight years old. I came here to woo her and all that shit. But you want to know something. I have some idiot spik, whose using her as a piece of fucking tail. You don't think I know your type?

Guillermo was shaking so bad from his rage that he couldn't even speak. That fucking little white boy was gonna get his ass handed to him.
Seth's face came within inches of his, his hand gripping his shirt collar. This guy meant business.
"C'mon Jose, hit me. I know you want to. Teach me a lesson. Do it, you worthless piece. Hit me. HIT ME!"
He wanted to. It was so tempting. His hand actually came up, but then he put his hands on his collar, prying Seth's fingers away.
"God, you're psycho. No wonder you family kicked you out." His voice and eyes were like flint and he began to walk back towards the apartment. |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] Guillermo raised his fist to punch Seth, right in the kisser, to let all this madness to be done with. But he didn't. Instead he pried Seth's fingers off from him. "God, you're psycho. No wonder you family kicked you out." With that, Guillermo turned on his heel, leaving Seth momentarily stunned.
And then the laughter started. He raced to catch up with Guillermo, spinning him around to face him, sticking his finger right in the rival's face. "Holy shit! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" Seth's laughter echoed through the parking lot.
"You love her. You fucking love her. I should have seen it, I really should have. I actually had thought you to be just a bit possessive. But no. You are over the moon, in love with Rosaline Mercer." Seth wiped the tears from his eyes, his cheeks chapping in the October air. "Let me guess. She drive you nuts. Says one thing, acts completely different. Goes from hot to cold just like that." Seth snapped his fingers, for emphasis. "You, my friend, are under the alluring and allusive spell of Rose. And be careful, because I'll tell you what, she eats guys like us for breakfast. She's a maneater, bless her soul."
Seth paced around, completely hyped up on adrenaline now, thanks to his little discovery. "We're brothers, you and I. We might not like it. God fucking knows I hate you. But brothers none the less." Seth stopped, staring at Guillermo in amazement, before letting out another peel of laughter. "Hit me. Hug me. Do something, I don't care. Hell I won't even tell. React, Brother."

The little fucker started laughing.
Guillermo stopped in disbelief.
What a crazy son of a bitch.
"Holy shit! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"
He was spun back around and he nearly put up his hands defensively.
"You love her. You fucking love her. I should have seen it, I really should have. I actually had thought you to be just a bit possessive. But no. You are over the moon, in love with Rosaline Mercer. Let me guess. She drive you nuts. Says one thing, acts completely different. Goes from hot to cold just like that. You, my friend, are under the alluring and allusive spell of Rose. And be careful, because I'll tell you what, she it's guys like us for breakfast. She's a maneater, bless her soul."
Guillermo found it difficult to breathe. He scoffed weakly at the other boy.
"You're crazy. I don't love Rose."
The kid paced the pavement. He was obsessive beyond anything Guillermo had ever seen.
"We're brothers, you and I. We might not like it. God fucking knows I hate you. But brothers none the less. Hit me. Hug me. Do something, I don't care. Hell I won't even tell. React, Brother."
He wanted to hit him. It would have been wonderful release.
But he couldn't do it.
Turning away, he headed towards the apartments again. |

"Then make way for someone who does, Brother." Seth challenged as Guillermo stormed away. It made no difference to Seth. Oh, he still wanted Rose, and he'd still fight for her. But this situation needed some closer inspection. It wasn't a matter of Seth scaring Guillermo away anymore. It was about who got Rose to admit she loved them first. Guillermo had the lead physically, but if he couldn't admit he was in the race in the first place, then that was quite the advantage on Seth's part.
Belting from the top of his lungs, Seth began to sing at the top of his lungs.
"Give my love to Rose, please, won't you, mister?
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me
Tell my boy to help his mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another
For it ain't right that she should live alone"
It was horribly out of tune, as he got into his car and started digging out his bags. Guillermo... he was an interesting rival. He'd make this interesting. May the best man in love win. Carrying his two bags to the building, he was careful avoid his burnt hand.
Kind of regretted that now, after some thinking.

"Then make way for someone who does, Brother."
Guillermo stopped and turned back for the second time.
He waited for Seth and took up one of the bags.
He wouldn't step aside. No way in hell.
"Fine," he hissed at Seth, "Maybe I do. But she laid down the law, so I'm screwed, because just like you, I'll do anything she tells me."
Suddenly the crazy fuck started singing. Quite badly, by the way.
"Give my love to Rose, please, won't you, mister?
Take her all my money, tell her to buy some pretty clothes
Tell my boy his daddy's so proud of him
And don't forget to give my love to Rose
Tell them I said thanks for waiting for me

In an really creepy way, they were brothers. They were united in the sole thing that they cared about in the entire world.
Rose. |
