My mother was a demented nymphomaniac and my father was unable to control her addiction. She was also very aggressive and many times she beat him with unusual force. She had made a habit of mistreating him, until he had enough and he walked out of our lives. I recall walking in the house and realizing he was gone. He did not even bother taking his stuff and I did not blame him but his departure had a huge impact on me. I promised myself that I would never let a woman do the same to me; instead I did all the hurting and the baffling of feelings. I never dated a girl because I actually cared, I just wanted sex and no compromise. Perhaps that was my biggest mistake.
It all started when I decided to date not one girl but four simultaneously. I did not choose wisely I chose four girls who were friends at my school. Ashley was my top choice, she was a bomb with all the lovely curves. Amber was next; she had the face of angel. Katie had the other interesting physical attributes. Keysha was just the amusement girl, she was pretty but not exceptionally so. Keysha was also a little dumb. ..
“Hey sweetheart, I had my eye on you for a couple days. So you wanna go out with me?” I asked
“Me?? You as in... date me?” she stupidly asked
“There ain't anyone else around sweet thing.”
“Well.. of course I'll go out with you.,” Keysha cried with surprised glee.
I have to admit I was pretty good at what I did and girls never resisted my charms. I had asked four girls out the same day and they had all said yes without hesitation. I thought I was stealing Casanova's shine. Except I was a hundred times better than him. I thought that I was invincible. Until Cassie came along and shook my defenses so hard that piece by piece my walls started breaking apart.
I met Cassie at a basketball game. She was the new recruit of the cheerleading team.
There was nothing in particular about her body that stood out to me, but rather how different she was from the rest of the girls. She was not trying to be perfect , neither was she trying to flirt with me. In fact she was avoiding me as if I had an STD or something. John Tucker had never been rejected before and he had no intention of starting now, I thought. I got tired of my four girlfriends so I dumped them all simultaneously. I gave them a rendez vous spot and found all four of them waiting for me with suspicious faces.
“Well I am going to go straight to the point girls... it's over.” I took a few steps back just in case they decided to assault me
“What you're dumping me?” was the synchronized response
“Actually I'm dumping all of you. It was great, girls.” I walked away without glancing back
The girls stood there motionless with shock when they realized I had used them like a bunch of idiots.
They were so mad at me that they did not even fight each other, it was the complete opposite. They each went their separate ways and for two days things were very calm.
I just kept trying to impress Cassie with my basketball skills, pretending to be a gentlemen.
I even formally invited her to go out on a date with me. Me, John Tucker, going through so much trouble for one girl.
“Cassie, will you do me the honor of having dinner with me?” handing her a rose that I had picked this morning
“Since you have asked politely, I accept”. With that she walked away briskly
As I walked in the hallways of Mckinley High, people stared at me with expressions of horror. It was as if I had murdered someone or something. Little did I know how close to the truth I was. It did not take very long for three of my now ex girlfriends to corner me and barrage me with accusations.
“You did this to her. You're just an insensitive bastard, you could at least go see her.” Amber shrieked.
“See who?” I said, bewildered.
“You're a miserable guy who thinks he's Casanova. I hope you feel satisfied, you must feel important for a girl to try to kill herself for you,” Katie said in a cutting tone.
“ I thought you were better than that John. Keysha took an overdose of sleeping pills the day you dumped us you jackass,” Ashley lashed out at me.
I stood there wide eyed and just let them continue to rage at me. I felt so guilty that I started to tremble. They left me there in my solitude with my conscience. I skipped my remaining classes to go see Keysha. She looked terrible with all these tubes sucking the drugs out of her. While I was thinking how terribly wrong I had been, the girls were thinking of how they could give me a taste of my own medicine.
“We have to teach him a lesson girls,” Ashley said.
“Agreed,” the other two said in unison.
“ I know exactly what we will do. We are going to put sleeping pills in his water bottle before tonight's game,” Ashley said with an evil glow in her eyes.
Is this a result of my actions? Should I have been a better guy for these girls? For Cassie? Is this how my father felt when he decided to leave? Maybe this really is my fault. I am a miserable and despicable guy. This needs to change. When I got home I was very depressed and I did not want to talk about it. But my mother said something that frustrated me more than I already was.
“See you're becoming just like your momma,” she said with pride.
“That's not a compliment, Mother. I do not want to look like you, because if I do, people will hate me.” I dropped the bomb without even thinking about it.
I went to my room and didn't come down until the next day. I did not even bother eating the “breakfast” she had prepared. I walked out and went to school determined to apologize for my behavior to the girls. I walked in Mckinley as usual except something was different: people were avoiding me. They whispered when I walked by and even my friends were not talking to me anymore. Cassie rejected me saying that I was a monster and that she hated me. I went in the basketball court and played for some time...
They plotted scrupulously on the how and the when they would teach me a lesson.
“There's our chance girls. Katie you have the pills?” Ashley demanded
“Yes, I have them. I crushed them so he won't notice,” Katie said.
“ Ohh really you're smarter than I thought. But how many did you crush?”
“ I don't know but that's not the point. Pass me the water bottle.” She grabbed it and poured all the crushed pills in it and shook it .
“Now bring it to him as if you wanted him to be ok for tonight's game,” Ashley said
Katie did just as she was told and I took the water from her and drank it. Then I sincerely apologized for my behavior.
“Katie, I'm sorry I played with your feelings. You didn't deserve it and I was a total jerk. I hope you'll be able to forgive me,” I said with all the sincerity in the world.
“Of course I forgive you darling. Now get some rest before the game,” She said and kissed me.
I was so surprised that she would forgive me so quickly. I knew I had to apologize to the other girls also. So I got up a few minutes later and was about to go apologize to the other girls when I started having a hard time breathing. I was in total shock. I remember closing my eyes but I don't remember ever getting back up.
John's cold body was discovered on the basketball court by the coach. The entire basketball team mourned his death and they hanged a banner on the court with his picture. The cause of his death was never discovered.
