“Oh God” Emily complained. The girls quietly smiled to themselves.

After Michael was done dry heaving he just lay in the gravel whimpering and trying to cope with the pain somehow. “LET'S GO!!!!” Ashley demanded. Emily laughed a bit at how cruel it was. Michael just lay there. “Come on Michael, you'll be sorry if I have to come out there.” Emily and Cathy laughed. Michael slowly brought himself upright. He felt worse than ever now. His right testicle was painful like nothing he could have ever imagined.

“Yeah Michael, I DO have to get home to take care of Chris. So let's go.” Emily suggested.

“Ok, we're going.” The ride home was quiet. There was obvious tension in the air. Michael was angry, the girls thought it was funny, but they didn't feel like pissing him off more by laughing.

Emily finally said something as she and Jessica were leaving the car at her place. “Good luck with your nuts Michael.” Everyone but Michael laughed. Emily shut the car door and they left.

“Oh gosh.” Ashley laughed to herself.

“It's really not funny Ashley, I can't believe you pinched me like that.”

“That WAS funny, just not to you because you're in a bad mood.”

“I'm not just in a bad mood Ashley, there's something wrong, I need to see a doctor.”

“Just so you stick to your word and take me home first.”

“What are you threatening to pinch my nut again!?!?”

“Not necessarily, but I'll be mad if you break your promise.”

“Bitch.” Michael muttered under his breath.

“WHAT!?!? What did you say!?!?”

“Nothing.”

“Ooh hoho, I'm gonna get you for that later.” Ashley laughed.

The car ride was quiet for almost the whole forty five minutes it took to get back to Pasadena. Aside from the radio.
