Nine Black Poppies (5)
 Photo by Franco Alejandra The breakup with Ruby was messy in the way only teenage romances can be – a petty splintering of affection into recriminations and half truths. I was bored with her. Bored with her friends and their celebrity magazines. Bored with her mother, who flirted painfully as I stood dancing nervously from one foot to the other in her rustic style kitchen. Especially bored of her father who quizzed me aggressively, not knowing that I was far from the first to corrupt his darling daughter, whoI knew for a fact had given her first blowjob to a boy down the rec. a few days shy of her fifteenth birthday. Just as I had plucked up the courage to end the whole bloody farce, life intervened as it so often does. In the club, free of her for a night, I stumbled into the loos and heard a familiar squeak emanating from a nearby stall. Standing on the next loo along I peered over the partition and saw her, partaking of my friend Patrick in the way only a good convent girl can. The bitch – she'd wrecked it before I could. She spotted me and tried to speak. "Don't bother," I said. "I can see you've got your mouth full." At the bar later she threw a drink in my face and Patrick, gallant that he is, took a swing at me. He missed but the bouncers didn't and we ended up splayed on black bin liners in a back alley, barred and bruised for our trouble. Ruby remained inside. It seems she was more well known than I'd realised. I called Anna as I walked home, shivering in the cold, my jacket lost somewhere in the cloakroom, never to be returned. She laughed when I explained about Ruby's antics: "Oh, I could have told you that! Everybody knows about her." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Where's the fun in that? Come round, I have vodka." Back then, Anna's solutions to heartache were simple but effective. |
