Free Love's Crazy Twists by S. A. Johns Page A

high!
                  “Shane, I’m fine!”  She was saying.
                  “Is that so?  Then why am I walking you to the door?”  He asked.
                  “So I don’t have to crawl.”  She said with a laugh.
                  “Jules!  That is not funny.”  He said.
                  They didn’t even notice Matt’s car parked in the driveway.  They came up onto the porch and didn’t seem to notice him sitting there either.  Shane had the key and opened the door.  Matt was extremely pissed off that they would just walk right past him.  So he stood up.
                  “Julie!  Where have you been?  I’ve been so worried.”  He said as he walked right past Shane ‘accidentally' pushing him out of the way.  “I’ve been trying to find you ever since Jen called.”
                  “What?  What are you talking about?  Jen called you?”  She asked.
                  “Yeah, she was worried about you.  Said that you were really drunk and wouldn’t let her drive you home.  I thought that you were hurt somewhere.  That’s why I came here looking for you.”  He looked from Julie to Shane and back again.  “I guess that I see you are OK, so I’d better go so that he can have his way with you again!”  Matt yelled.
                  “Matt, listen.  I don’t know what you are talking about, all I did was find Julie passed out in her car, door wide open and since I am her friend, I thought the friendly thing to do was to make sure she got home in one piece.” Shane assured him.  “That is all.  I have no other intentions for her.”  He finished.
                  “Oh is that so?  Is it?”  Matt challenged.
                  “Yes, Matt it is.  Do you think that I would even try anything with her when she is so much in love with you?”  Shane said sarcastically.
                  “Well I know that you are a man and I know how men think. So I wouldn’t put it past you to try!”  Matt yelled and shoved Shane backwards.
                  “Well, let me tell you something pal !  I am nothing like you!  If Julie were my girlfriend, I would worship her.  I would do any and everything for her.  And I certainly wouldn’t cheat on her like you did!”  He said and pushed him back.
                  “That is none of your business!  That is between her and me!  So I suggest that you keep your nose out of it!”  He yelled as he pushed back again.
                  “Oh is that how you want to play?”  Shane said as he stepped closer and bumped his chest into Matt’s.  “It is my business when it involves an asshole like yourself, hurting my best friend in the whole world.  Then yeah, I’ll step in with more than my nose!”  He paused and looked at Matt momentarily before finishing.  “If you want it…bring it on!”  He coaxed.
                  With that Matt swung at Shane just as he ducked and Matt hit the beam in the porch.  This made Matt even angrier and he began swinging again.  Shane stepped to the side and then tripped him, and Matt fell flat on his face.
                  “You bastard! I’m going to kill you!”  Matt shouted. “If you are man enough to try, then here I am.   Hit me!  Come on, hit me…right here!”  He said pointing to his mouth.
                  Matt swung and this time he made contact with Shane’s jaw.
                  “Come on Matt, you hit like a girl!  You can do better than that, can’t you?”
                  Matt took off running full speed right at Shane, and pushed him right off the porch.  They both hit the ground with a thud.  Matt was on top pounding Shane then they rolled over and Shane was on top hitting Matt.  There were fists flying and legs flailing.  Accusations
