~Gone~


“Come on, Jane! Were going to be late!” Debbie said from outside. I hurried and put on my shorts. I slid them up over my belly button and then tied on my bikini top and grabbed my bag and flip flops and ran out the door.
“I’m ready!” I shouted as I shut the screen door.
“About time!” She said and started up the buggy. I slid in through the window and then we were off. I tied on my flip flops and fixed my hair. We were heading to the beach for a party. Debbie fixed her make-up as I helped her by taking the wheel. She smacked her lips and took it back.
“So, hows John?” I asked her.
“Fantastic! A little on the doggy side lately but other than that we are two peaches in a tree.” Debbie said. John was a real dog. He always whoring around and cheating on Debbie but she loved him too much to tell him no or confront him. I want love but not a love like that.
As we pulled into the parking lane we jumped out of the car and John jogged over to Debbie. He was wearing swimming trucks. His black gelled down hair moved with the wind. John was cute but I couldn’t be with a guy who thinks he’s better than others and my Mother wouldn’t approve anyways. Debbie pulled her sunglasses on her head and leaned against her car. John came over and forcefully pushed her up against it and kissed her. He pinned her arms down and kissed her neck.
“Where have you been?” He asked between his tongue being down her throat.
“I’m sorry.” She kissed him one last time and then walked my way. He smacked her ass and then went back to his buddies. They all gave him hi-5’s.
“Vulgar.” I told her.
“Don’t be jealous.” She said fixing her lipstick. I laughed.
“Of him? Ha!” I shouted. “Why do you let him treat you like that?” I asked her.
“Look at him. I love him.” She said hopelessly. I shook my head in disagreement. We walked to a bare part of the beach and laid down our towels and our umbrella. We laid down and tanned for a while.
“Debra!” John yelled.
“Ugh!” Debbie said as she heard his voice. “Yes, dear.” She answered.
“Hey, babe! Come here!” He asked. She got up and walked towards him. She pulled up her shorts so they were above her belly button again. She lifted her sunglasses to on top of her head and John put his arm around her.
“This is my girl, Debra.” John said to his group of friends. “This is Jimmy, Alan and Chris.” He said and pointed them out. I could only hear part of there conversation so I got up and stood next to Debbie. “Oh, and this is Jane.” John said annoyed.
“Hello.” I said.
“Hi.” All of them said with there tongues out of there mouth. They were practically drooling. I chuckled at how boyish they were acting. Only one of them really caught my eyes. It was the one that had his hair gelled to the side and he was wearing kakies and and blue polo shirt that was tucked in. He looked like a real gentlemen. My Mother and Father would approve. Before I could ask his name We all went to Johns truck.
“I got this.” He said and opened all his doors. He blared the radio. He played all country songs. Everyone started dancing. The guy that caught my eye started dancing his way over to me. He took off his shirt to show a tight six pack. My Jaw almost dropped when I saw it. He looked so Gentleman like that you wouldn’t think a fellow like that would have that under his shirt. I dance closer to him. After a while the sun was setting. I ran to Debbie’s car and slid on my white polka dotted dress because it was warmer than my shorts and my bikini. It had buttons in the front and it poofed out at the bottom. I walked back to where the music was and sat on a log and watched the fire. That same guy walked over to me and sat next to me.
“Do you want to dance?” He asked me and as soon as we stood up to a slow song came on. He held out one hand and I took it. He placed his hands on my hips and I placed my on his shoulders. My dress moved with me.
“You look beautiful.” He said as he brushed my brown bangs out of my eyes. My wavy hair laid gently on my back.
“Thank you.” I told him.
“I wasn’t going to come tonight. I had a church thing I was suppose to go to and thats why I was dressed up. I’m happy John persuaded me and I’m happy I did come.” He said.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because I got to meet you.” He said. We danced closer and I laid my head on his shoulder. He was a good looking fellow. I lifted my head up and our lips were just millimeters away from touching when Debbie ran over to me crying.
“We have to go!” She said through the tears.
“Why? Whats wrong?” I asked.
“John.” Was all she could say. Not too long after her saying he was jogging after her with nothing but boxers on. A girl with nothing but a towel on came jogging after him.
“Oh my.” I said.
“Debbie!” He yelled.
“Lets go.” I said and we ran to the car.
“But wait!” The guy yelled. “I don’t even know your name!”
“I’m sorry!” I yelled from the car.
“Its not what it looks like!” John yelled.
“What do you mean its not what it looks like?” The girl that was running behind him said.
“Shut up!” He said.
“Uh!” She said and then walked away.
“Babe! Come on! Don’t do this!” He yelled. He chased after the car as I pulled out of the parking lot but I left him in dust.
“You were right!” She cried. “He’s a cheater.”
“I wanted you to realize it, I just didn’t want you to realize it this way.” I told her as she laid her head on my shoulder. “I’m sorry.” I combed my hands through her hair. It always made her feel better. “How about you come to my house and I can get out our best friends, Ben and Jerry, and we can watch movies all night long.”
“Sounds great.” She said and then fell asleep. Once we got to my house I gently got out of the car and laid her down on the seat. I went around to the other side and lifted her up. I kicked at the door for my Mom to open it because I didn’t have an extra hand.
“Oh My, what happened?” She asked.
“She’s just sleeping.” I told her. She nodded and then opened the door.
“Jessy!” I yelled. Jessy came down stairs. “Help me please and carry her to my room.” I told him. He took her from my hands and I caught my breath. Jesse is my older brother. He always helps me out.
“What happened at the beach?” My Mother asked me.
“I’m not really sure. All I know is that she came over to me crying and then John showed up partly naked with a even more naked girl. Then we left and she fell asleep.” I left out the part about my mystery guy.
“Oh dear, the things you kids do these days are nothing like I did.” She said.
“Mom, things haven’t changed much since you were a kid.” I told her with a chuckle.
“She’s right, Mom.” Jesse said as he came back from up stairs. “Its only been like twenty something years since then.” He laughed.
“1934, I can remember it vividly.” She started.
“Oh, not another story.” I pleaded.
“This is history.” She said.
“Mother, that is a lullaby, and it makes me want to take a pistol to the head.” I told her.
“Thats a terrible thing to say!” She said.
“Its true.” My brother added and I chuckled with him.
“Where was I? Oh yeah, its was 1944, I can remember it vividly. You’re father was in the army. That’s how we met actually. I was walking on the street one day and he ran into me. I helped him pick up his hat and bag. He was in uniform and oh, did he look handsome. It was love at first site.” She began.
“Oh.” I groaned.
“Its history!” She shouted.
“We’ve heard this a million times, Mother!” I reminded her.
“And it gets better every time!” She replied. I heard my brother laugh.
“Mother, it wasn’t that long ago. It was only twenty something years.” He said. My Mother sighed.
“You children take everything for granted.” She said and headed upstairs. “I’m going to bed!” Jesse and I stayed down stairs and laughed together.
“Would you say she’s losing it?” He asked me.
“She’s in her early 40’s.” I reminded him.
“Yeah,” He said.
“Did you tell them yet?” I asked him. He shook his head no. “What are you going to do? Wait until its time to leave and then say, ‘Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I enlisted.’? They will have a horse, and a cow and a dog!” I told him. “Why would you want to enlist anyways?” I asked him
“Its a feeling. It makes me feel like I have a purpose.” He said.
“You have a purpose and thats to stay and help and take care of me!” I told him.
“Jane, you are young and beautiful and you will make it with out me.” He told me.
“I can but I don’t want to.” I told him. He hugged me.
“Janey, Everything will be alright.” He said and i believed him.
“I met someone today!” I told him.
“You’re only, what? Seventeen? How can you have met someone?” He asked me.
“You know I’m eight teen
