Chapter 1
Sia- I'm In Here
Grey flashbacks appeared in slow motion. They actually weren't about his family for the most part, but his childhood bullies.
"Beef boy! Beef boy!" chanted Billy, Frankie and Danny. "Hey Beef boy! I'm gonna kiss your girlfriend, fat steak!"
Next, he pictured a garden hoe blade scrape forward as if being dragged as he heard his grandma scream 'How can you raise children like that!'. Next, he heard the screams of each parent and the clash of the hoe against flesh. Then he pictured a newspaper. The headlines read "SIX COWS MURDERED FOR SONS' BULLYING".
Annabelle's voice spoke. But it wasn't of the present. It was of the past.
"Something militious is only forgivable thrice."
Thrice? That made DJ's day. It was time to throw a little homecoming!
Night. Concert.
Dizzy by The Goo Goo Dolls just finished playing.
"That was Dizzy by The Rattlers, as made famous by The Goo Goo Dolls." said Root. "Next is Hero by Miller and DJ!"
Miller and DJ sang Hero by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott.
After the show.
"During these two days, you've not acted bad at all and...it's like you didn't have a family." Rosey griped.
"Rosey, would you open your fucking eyes!" shouted DJ. "I did not drop it all so easily! But no matter how much I'd ever want her back, I couldn't have her back! And all for you, I wouldn't want her back more than I would! Miller was stitches to my heart that fell off at the wrong time. But now, he's stitches on my heart that I no longer need but cannot be removed. That is why I cannot hold a grudge against him any longer. Now sweetheart, I love you. But please don't hold a grudge. You never knew him and had it not been for him, I'd probably not had the most beautiful rosey I'd ever seen." he said and gave her a soft kiss.
"I'm sorry, baby." said Rosey.
"It's okay as long as you forgive him. I'm asking please." said DJ. "It was hard for me and I've given thought to thinking it was never his fault. Maybe it was a lycanic entity. Please don't suffer from something of which you were not a part of."
"I just wanna see my cowboy happy." said Rosey.
"And I am." said DJ. "You've treated me like no wife ever has. And I'm glad to see it. You trusted me about things I've done when no one else has and provided me with strength when I was weak. You're every bull's dream. Don't ever forget that. And they're too damn unlucky that I got you first." he said, smiling the same time as Rosey, who had tears in her eyes.
"DJ, those are the sweetest words I've ever heard you say." said Rosey, crying.
"Why don't we have sex tonight?" asked DJ. "It'll take your mind off of how you felt, if my sweet words haven't already."
"They have." said Rosey.
"Damn it." DJ calmly joked.
"But I will still take that offer." said Rosey. "I will feel twice as better!"
"You know, we're gonna take a trip some day." said DJ. "Just me and you."
"Oh DJ, that would be wonderful!" said Rosey.
Night.
Rosey was getting herself prettied up in the bathroom (like she could get prettier.)
Meanwhile, DJ unlocked the closet and got the magic dog whistle out. He blowed it and Belladonna appeared.
"Holy hell, that's loud!" said Belladonna. "My ears hurt so bad, they're ringing!"
"Where's Annabelle?" asked DJ.
"She took a little trip." said Belladonna.
"Okay, then I've got this problem... this urge... an evil one." said DJ. "What do I do?"
"You're seriously asking ME what to do?" asked Belladonna. "Okay, I was never a good advice giver so I'll tell you this... and I know it probably won't help, but follow your heart."
"Alright, well, it's time for me to have a little fun right now." said DJ.
Belladonna smiled as she began to disappear.
