She says, "People are afraid to merge on freeways in Los Angeles. Nothing else seems to matter. Not the fact that I'm eighteen and it's December and the ride on the plane had been rough and the couple from Santa Barbara, who were sitting across from me in first class, had gotten pretty drunk. Not the mud that had splattered the legs of my jeans, which felt kind of cold and loose, earlier that day at an airport in New Hampshire.
Not the stain on the arm of the wrinkled, damp shirt I wear, a shirt which had looked fresh and clean this morning. Not the tear on the neck of my gray argyle vest, which seems vaguely more eastern than before, especially next to Blair's clean tight jeans and her pale-blue T-shirt.
All of this seems irrelevant next to that one sentence. It seems easier to hear that people are afraid to merge rather than "I'm pretty sure Muriel is anorexic" or the singer on the radio crying out about magnetic waves.
Nothing else seems to matter to me but those ten words. Not the warm winds, which seem to propel the car down the empty asphalt freeway, or the faded smell of marijuana which still faintly permeates Blair's car.
All it comes down to is that I'm a boy coming home for a month and meeting someone whom I haven't seen for four months and people are afraid to merge. Blair drives off the freeway and comes to a red light. A heavy gust of wind rocks the car for a moment and Blair smiles and says something about maybe putting the top up and turns to a different radio station.
Coming to my house, Blair has to stop the car since there are these five workmen lifting the remains of palm trees that have fallen during the winds and placing the leaves and pieces of dead bark in a big red truck, and Blair smiles again.
She stops at my house and the gate's open and I get out of the car, surprised to feel how dry and hot it is. I stand there for a pretty long time and Blair, after helping me lift the suitcases out of the trunk, grins at me and asks, "What's wrong? Nobody's home. The air conditioner is on and the house smells like pine. There's a note on the kitchen table that tells me that my mother and sisters are out, Christmas shopping. Less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download where I'm standing I can see the dog lying by the pool, breathing heavily, asleep, its fur ruffled by the wind.
I walk upstairs, past the new maid, who smiles at me and seems to understand who I am, and past my sisters' rooms, which still both look the same, only with different GQ cutouts pasted on the wall, and enter my room and see that it hasn't changed. The walls are still white; the records are still in place; the television hasn't been moved; the venetian blinds are still open, just as I had left them.
It looks like my mother and the new maid, or maybe the old maid, cleaned out my closet while I was gone. There's a pile of comic books on my desk with a note on top of them that reads, "Do you still want these? I put the card down and notice that it's beginning to get really cold in my room.
I take my shoes off and lie on the bed and feel my brow to see if I have a fever. I think I do. It's the promotional poster for an old Elvis Costello record. Elvis looks past me, with this wry, ironic smile on his lips, staring out the window. The word "Trust" less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download over his head, and his sunglasses, one lens red, the other blue, pushed down past the ridge of his nose so that you can see his eyes, which are slightly off center.
The eyes don't look at me, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, though. They only look at whoever's standing by the window, but I'm too tired to get up and stand by the window. I pick up the phone and call Julian, amazed that I actually can remember his number, but there's no answer. I sit up, and through the venetian blinds I can see the palm trees shaking wildly, actually bending, in the hot winds, and then I stare back at the poster and then turn away and then look back again at the smile and the mocking eyes, the red and blue glasses, and I can still hear people are afraid to merge and I try to get over the sentence, blank it out.
I turn on MTV and tell myself I could get over it and go to sleep if I had some Valium and then I think about Muriel and feel a little sick as the videos begin to flash by. I bring Daniel to Blair's party that night and Daniel is wearing sunglasses and a black wool jacket and black jeans. He's also less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download black suede gloves because he cut himself badly on a piece of glass a week earlier in New Hampshire.
I had gone with him to the emergency room at the hospital and had watched as they cleaned the wound and washed the blood off and started to sew in the wire until I started feeling sick and then I went and sat in the waiting room at five o'clock in the morning and heard The Eagles sing "New Kid in Town" and I wanted to come back. We're standing at the door of Blair's house in Beverly Hills and Daniel complains that the gloves are sticking to the wires and are too tight, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download he doesn't take them off because he doesn't want people to see the thin silver wires sticking out of the skin on his thumb and fingers.
Blair answers the door. She's wearing a black leather jacket and matching pants and no shoes and she hugs me and then looks at Daniel.
Daniel, this is Blair," I say. Blair offers her hand and Daniel smiles and shakes it softly. Merry Christmas. There are people at the party from high school, most of whom I haven't seen since graduation and they all stand next to the two huge trees. Trent, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, a male model I know, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, is there. Trent, this is Daniel. Daniel, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, this is Trent.
Finally Blair stops laughing and brushes past me to the door, telling me that I should try the punch. Now, it's not artificial lighting or anything like that, and you don't have to rub Vitamin E capsules all over your bod. This thing is called an Uva Bath and what they do is they dye your skin. Uva Bath. Look at the card, dude. I don't like the magazine. My agent told them no nude stuff, just like Speedos and stuff like that. I don't do any nude stuff. But I don't see him and I turn back to Trent and ask, "Yeah?
What else have you been doing? Going to Nautilus, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, getting smashed, going to this Uva place But, hey, don't tell anyone I've been there, okay? Lunch," he jokes, leaving. Daniel comes back with the punch and it's very red and very less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download and I cough a little as I take a swallow.
From where I'm standing, I can see Blair's father, who's this movie producer and he's sitting in a corner of the den talking with this young actor I think I went to school with. Blair's father's boyfriend is also at the party. His name's Jared and he's really young and blond and tan and has blue eyes and incredibly straight white teeth and he's talking to the three boys from U.
I can also see Blair's mother, who is sitting by the bar, drinking a vodka gimlet, her hands shaking as she brings the drink to her mouth. Blair's friend Alana comes into the den and hugs me and I introduce her to Daniel.
You should have some," I tell her. It makes her mother so nervous, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download. She gets totally bombed anyway, but having him around makes it worse. Alana looks down and then back at me and says, "You look kind of pale, Clay. You should go to the beach or something. Suddenly the three boys from U. Alana rolls her eyes up and looks pained. Oh God, I better go help Blair.
Mummy's going behind the bar. Nice to meet you, Daniel. Alana walks over to Blair and her mother by the bar. Later that night, when the two of us are sitting at the end of the darkened bar at the Polo Lounge, not a whole lot is said.
There's a long pause that kind of freaks me out and Daniel finishes his drink and fingers the sunglasses he's still wearing and says, "I don't know. Just back.
She tries to smile when she asks me what I want for Christmas. I'm surprised at how much effort it takes to raise my head up and look at her.
There's a pause and then I ask her, "What do you want? I just want to have a nice Christmas. She touches her hair, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download, bleached, blondish, again. She doesn't say anything else, until she's finished her third glass of wine and poured her fourth. She takes a swallow of wine. I'm with Trent in a yellow train that sits on Sunset. Trent's smoking and drinking a Pepsi and I stare out the window and into the headlights of passing cars, less than zero bret easton ellis pdf download.
We're waiting for Julian, who's supposed to be bringing Trent a gram. Julian is fifteen minutes late and Trent is nervous and impatient and when I tell him that he should deal with Rip, like I do, instead of Julian, he just shrugs. We finally leave and he says that we might be able to find Julian in the arcade in Westwood.
