STORY # 0025

        A few years ago I was out at a local nightclub for "Goth Night", (which consisted of a few cool people and a herd of redneck college jerks who came to gawk at the weird-folk), anyway pickings were slim and I happened to spot a pretty cute fellow with 2 different colored eyes and lots of fishnet.  Now keep in mind that I actually like that sort of thing.  We started talking and discovered that we had mutual friends in the scene and that gave us a way to get to know one another.  After a few minutes I asked if he wanted a drink, yes girls do buy guys drinks too!  He replied that he didn't drink alcohol but would take a soda.  I thought that was cool and we proceeded to get to know one another.  At the end of the night (morning) we goths had to get in our coffins before the sun came out, ok we had to go to work, anyway we parted ways and exchanged numbers.  We saw each other or talked on the phone daily and all seemed great.  he was a gentleman and didn't try to get into my pants right away.  Well after 2 weeks I started to wonder if he was going to so I took it upon myself to make the first move thinking he might be shy.  After a bit of help from Mr. Maker's Mark I proceeded to just toss clothes off while we are sitting on the couch watching TV.  He seems shocked but goes with it.  Things move to the bedroom and I rip his clothes off and just as I think "Here we go" he pushes me off of the bed and starts screeching "What are we doing here?"  I say "What did you think we were doing?"  He is curled up in a ball on the bed, naked, and starts to cry.  I am so confused at this point and I ask if he's ok.  He says "Really, what are we doing here?"  Then he starts rambling on about sex and knowing someone and diseases and such.  I decide I need a smoke so I walk out of the room to get my cigs.  He yells "Don't walk out on me Carrie?"  I say back "My name is Kelly you jackass!"  He starts wailing about that all the while crying.  I come back and he's on the floor, face down, knees tucked under him bawling like a baby.  I crawl into bed, pull the covers up high and proceed to have my smoke.  He comes over, turns on my lamp and stares at my face, still crying mind you, saying shit like "I wish I was where you are" and "How did you get there"?  I all the while was wishing I was somewhere else.  He sits down, grabs my hand and I ask him "Are you schizophrenic?"  He starts crying harder!  Then after wiping his nose on his arm proceeds to tell me that he was institutionalized at the age of 16, was on an experimental drug while in there, was raped by a man who was counseling him in there, is a recovering alcoholic & coke addict, and was a drag queen when he was confused about which sex he was interested in.  I waited a few seconds for him to calm down and asked him politely to leave.  He left screaming about how he'd fucked up and wanted a second chance.  I said leave and we will talk about it another day.  He still tells our friends that he chose to stop seeing me because we just didn't click.  That's fine with me!  And my friends ask why I don't date..........
