"Shut the fucking door!," the girl shouted from beside the sink. " If the fucker who's doin that doesn't stop, I'm gonna bust your fuckin head." The girl in gothic clothing scowled as the door opened for a third time. She quickly finished her business and flushed the toilet. She curse under her breath as another knock was issued upon the door.
"What?!" she hissed.
"Come on, Carla." Carla checked her self in the mirror, adjusting the crudely made habit she wore atop her head. She smoothed out the skirt of her vinyl jumper dress and headed fro the hallway. As she left the bathroom, she came eye to eye with what looked like a medieval witch. The girl's aquamarine colored eyes looked full of worry. She fidgeted with the collar of her teal and purple dress. Carla quickly smiled, trying to lighten the mood.
"Leona. Please tell me that it was you opening the door." Leona threw her hands up in defense at the comment.
"It was the cheerleader. I swear," she answered. The two laughed at the suggestion, Carla helping her friend up from her seat on the floor. The girls looked over one another, adjusting small things here and there. Leona watched her friend shift the corset that was the center piece of her nun's costume.
"You, Carla Jacobs, have got to be the most hellish looking nun I have ever seen." Carla chuckled at her friend's comment. She looked down at the clothes she was wearing. Besides the various piercing in her face, the dark make up around her eyes and lips; not to mention the short latex and corset dress, she realized her friend was right. She took Leona by the hand, and down the hallway they went.
The living room area was a little more crowded than when they'd first come inside. A few more people had slowly filtered into the room. Ghosts, cowboys, nothing was being left out tonight. As Carla led Leona into the kitchen, a man dressed as Dracula was guzzling yet another shot of whiskey. He had been most of the night. The two looked childishly to one another, exchanging looks of amusement. Carla watched him, hungrily, then broke herself from the daze. Leona was pulling her outside, and she was happy to go.
Carla sat near the ever growing bonfire, casting glances to every corner of the night. Laughing vampires, Playboy bunnies, not even one caring about the chill in the early autumn air. Typically Carla would've been happy sitting at home, a handful of horror flicks in one hand, a bottle of rum in the other. It was something she'd grown accustomed to. Leona and her mother had asked her to come to this. The party was out in the country somewhere, nothing but woods and small secluded roads. It reminded her of her father's place in Pennsylvania. Even down t the single wide trailer on the edge of the darkest parts of the trees. It was like a scene straight out of a horror flick.
She shivered in the night, feeling the softness of a head rest on her bare shoulder. Carla looked down to the tired eyed girl, and smiled.
"Leona? You okay sweetie?" the caramel skinned girl sighed, only to point briefly to the other side of the crackling logs. Carla's eyes looked through the wavering flames, catching the sights of a laughing woman in a tiger's costume. She was holding a beer in one hand, the fingers of a man entwined in the other. Carla shook her head sadly, then wrapped her own pale arms around her friend.
"She's fucking shameless," Leona began. "Carla, she hasn't even said two fucking words to us since we got here. Carla closed her eyes for a minute. Leona was right, but there was nothing that could be done. Her mother was going to do what she saw as right.
"Hey," Carla chirped. "Just think of the shit we're gonna be doing on Halloween. Remember? We were gonna stock up on the cheapest alcohol, candles, any fucking music you and I want, and hang out in the cemetery till dawn. Talking about anything and everything. Being as loud as we want. And she's gonna be inside some stuffy building, working." Carla watched her friend perk up a little bit, taking a sip of her drink.
"You're right," she said. "Fuck it. You get the music, I'll see to the booze, we'll chill, do whatever." The two laughed as they continued talking, watching the fire rise even higher as another log was to be thrown on.
Carl alit up another cigarette as the barmaid shook Leona's hand. She smiled bravely, looking to Carla then to her mother. Carla worried about Leona. Then again, Leona was in a daze for the rest of the party. Now, here they stood, leaving the cold, and headed for home. Carla had thought of asking Leona if she wanted to ride with her. But, she and her mother were already in the car, laughing like nothing had even happened. Carla smiled to herself as she watched them pull away.
A week had past, and Halloween had dawned. Carla ran around the apartment that afternoon, phone on her hip, bags and other things crowding her hands. It was like watching a comedy as she tried to balance and run and carry.
"Leona? Are you sure you have everything ready?," Carla asked, gathering some bottles into an over sized bag. She'd decided to get a few extra things, along with the candles and food that had already been purchased.
"Yes, Carl. I've got the music, got the batteries for the stereo." Carla looked around her small apartment once more, double checking her supplies. She then looked over to the two large bags by the front door.
