This is the sequel story to Far Away.

Joe Manning was always getting into trouble with the law. His latest stunt was the destruction and vandalism of the school. At thirteen, he was a young hellraiser. "This must be payback because of my own wild past," Todd said to Marty as he nibbled on a piece of bread and they discussed their son's unruly behavior.
"I seem to remember being wild and rebellious myself when I was his age," Marty stated.
"Whatever the case, I am so glad that Marissa is a great student and such a well-behaved daughter. We never have to worry about her causing any trouble."
"She's going to be 17 soon, Todd. She's going to want to start dating."
"She and Starr are not dating till they're both 35," Todd grumbled.
"I don't think you're being reasonable," Marty chided him. "In fact, I think you're just asking for trouble."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, wouldn't you prefer to have the girls have a boy over for dinner, so we can get to know him first before dating... or would you rather they sneak around and meet up with a boy behind our backs?"
"They better not be meeting up with boys anywhere," Todd said in a growl.
Marty just rolled her eyes as she went to check on their dinner which was baking in the oven. "I'm almost ready to take out the casserole. Will you go upstairs and tell Marissa that dinner's almost ready?" Marty asked Todd. "She's upstairs studying again."
"I told you we don't have to worry about our daughter," Todd said with a huge smile. "I'd rather her be studying all the time than meeting up with boys."
After Todd left the room, Marty began to worry about Joe. As usual, her youngest child was no where to be found. He hadn't come home after school, and she and Todd had no clue where he might be. *I hope he shows up soon and he's not getting into trouble,* Marty was thinking.

Marissa had snuck Brendan in the house when her parents were in the kitchen. "Hurry! Come into my bedroom before anyone sees you!" Marissa said to him urgently.
Once they reached her bedroom and they closed the door, Brendan pulled her in his arms for a passionate kiss. She tangled his fingers in his hair as she returned his embrace. After a moment, she pulled away; breathless. "Brendan, we have to be careful... if my dad ever sees me kiss you like that, he'll kill us both," Marissa warned.
Brendan just grinned and tried to grab Marissa's breast. "Brendan, we are SUPPOSED to be studying," she chided him.
"I know... but you're so beautiful, Marissa. We've been secretly dating for three months now... and every time I am alone with you, all I can think about is kissing and touching you," Brendan admitted.
"Brendan!" she gasped.
"Can't we make out for awhile? Please?"
"Well, I guess that can't hurt. We HAVE been dating for three months," Marissa gave in.
"Okay, let's make out on your bed," Brendan urged as he took her hand and coaxed her to lie down with him.
"I really like studying with you," Brendan said as he gazed into her eyes and slowly lowered his lips to hers.
"Mmmm... you taste soooo good," he murmured to Marissa in between kisses.
Brendan rollled on top of her, groping her breast. Marissa moaned into Brendan's passionate kiss. She knew if her dad ever found out she was secretly dating, he'd hit the ceiling. He hated Brendan Thornhart as much as he despised Brendan's father. Marissa didn't really understand their rivalry... and she didn't know why her dad refused to let her and Starr date. Marissa was going to be 17 soon, and she thought her dad was being far too overprotective. She had tried to talk to her mom about it, but her mom had just said that her dad had valid reasons for being concerned.
It was at that very moment when a knock sounded on Marissa's door. "Hey, Bunny, I thought you'd wanna know that dinner-," Todd's voice rang out as he entered the room.
"What the fuck?" Todd yelled when he saw a teenage boy lying on top of his daughter. "Get the HELL off my daughter!"
