(Anonymous) 2012-05-22 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)Pairing: Boone/Carla
Kink: Reincarnation
Summary: 317 years before Fallout: New Vegas, Carla waits for Boone.
Janet Castillo is sitting on the poured-concrete stairs of her mother's two-story, tumbledown foursquare house. It's 10:30 on a Tuesday morning, she should be in school. Instead, she is sitting on the concrete stairs, the damp chill penetrating her skirt and raising goose pimples on her thighs. It is March, and her thin spring jacket isn't quite enough to ward off the cold of the wind and the stairs, but her winter coat is in her closet, hidden under a heap of dresses that don't quite fit right anymore. It's ugly, and she refuses to wear it, even though it is cold in March.
She is waiting for her boyfriend, waiting for James Haugen. Jimmy plays basketball. He's not the star and he's not the captain, but he's good enough to letter. He used to drape his letterman's jacket around her shoulders when they went out together, and she wishes she had it now.
He was supposed to meet her here at 8:00. She has been on the steps since 7:30, waiting for Jimmy to come pick her up. He's going to come get her, and they're going to drive across the river and get married in city hall. They're going to get married, because if they, her mother and his parents won't be able to keep them apart.
Mrs. Castillo doesn't like Jimmy. She says there's only one reason a boy like him would pay any attention to a little Mexican girl living in the shadow of the Schmidt Brewery. And Mr. and Mrs. Haugen think Janet is the worst kind of trash. That's why Janet doesn't wear Jimmy's class ring, even though he swears he loves her. That's why when they go out together, they have to go to the diners and drive-ins across the river, where they won't see anyone they know.
Jimmy drives a 1963 Ford Galaxie, red with vinyl seats. His father bought it for him, and it's his baby. Janet felt like a queen sitting in the front seat next to him, never mind that he had to pick her up at the end of the block. They would drive around and go parking by the lock and dam. That was where she lost her virginity. That was where Jimmy got her into trouble.
Janet is sitting on her front steps, and she is waiting for a boy who isn't coming. She should be in school, but she told her mother she was sick. Mrs. Castillo looked at her with eyes hard and cold as quarters, but she was too tired to argue after another late shift at the Ford plant. So she said 'okay,' and she went to bed, and now Janet is waiting for Jimmy, who isn't coming.
Jimmy isn't going to marry her. He's going to enlist, and he'll come home a hero, but his son won't know his name, and only Janet, the mother of his child, will know he's a coward.
But right now, she is waiting for him to come and make everything right.
