Third Time's A Charm I

Tuesday was a normal day, for once that was just fine... C and I discussed his problem with John, but that was about it.

Wednesday started of easy: first school and hockey in the evening. After hockey diner and then a surprise! Mom wanted to go on the "bartour" which was going on here in Leiden. Cause it was some special week here. I would have the first five hours off school so I could come along, but I only wanted to come if C could come along too. It was everything or nothing, so C could come. After one drink in "The Talkhouse" we went to The Harmony. C text John he was on his way.
It was quiet in The Harmony. A band was playing and Rens was tending bar. Louis was also there. Mom introduced herself to him. Oh God... if she would introduce herself to John, he would be able to say some nasty things about me and what then... ! I was terrified!
John entered and mom, of course, introduced herself to him. I was worried. Thank God C was there for me. It was already haunting in my head: John telling my mom what kind of nasty things her daughter had been doing. I was glad when they both took place on our table. So I could listen to what they were saying. And after long talking the question was there: "Are my kids acting good around here?" "He is, he said,"but she!" He pointed at me. Of course mom was shocked, but John had showed his good heart and said he was just kidding.
After a lot of drinks on John mom said:"John is such a great guy! I gonna toss Ruud out and get John in." I got nausiated of the idea. And I looked disgusted. John told me to act normal. I was fed up with it and decided to sit somewhere else, but not for long.
John was inviting us over to his place this summer and the night was doomed to turn out pretty fucked up.
All the sudden I saw Jordy and Thom, they were standing in front of the window. Rens said I couldn't let them in, cause it was after one. I went to the door to talk to Thom. He invited me over for a drink. I wasn't able to phone him, so I gave him C's number and Thom gave his to C.
I went back inside, where mom and John were still in a conversation with each other. I went to have a chat with the band.
After a while John came up to me and said that he thought I was a real nice girl, but that we started off the wrong way. I nodded, but actually I didn't like the fact my first impression with John was a wrong one. We took place at the bar. He told me he was crazy about C. I understood, but I knew C wasn't gay! But I didn't tell that to John. I tried to give him some hope. "You're gonna find a guy! Really you are!" But John was a little bit down. I gave him a hug. He told me I was a sweetheart and I thought the exact same about him. John was a sweetheart and he deserved a sweet man!
