STILL DEREK'S POV
"Damn it can this thing go any faster?"
"Dude you have to calm down"
"UGH why does everyone keep telling me to calm down?! It doesn't help any! Why are you so fucking calm anyways?" I snapped at Ralph.
"Cause someone has to be!" he snapped back at me "Damn it Derek just calm the fuck down ok? You're not helping anyone when you keep yelling everyone I know your angry but your not the only one" I scoffed "She's my baby sister D"
I closed my eyes for a minute then took a glance at Ralph "Sorry man I'm just…"
"I know me too…hell we all are but we can't lose it now so you have to pull it together dude"
"I'm trying" we stayed silent until we finally reached the house.
"Let's find those assholes kill them then go back home to check on the girls" it still sometimes amazes me how much protective Edwin gets when it comes to those girls just like me.
We got out of the car and went straight to the house looking all over the place but couldn't find them anywhere. But it was clear to see which room they kept Casey in hours ago there was some blood in there. We went back downstairs I looked around for anybody who looks familiar. I spotted Max making out with Amy on the couch we walked over to him.
"Where are they?"
"Who?"
"Brett Craig and Rick where are they?"
He shrugged "I haven't seen them all night" he went back to kissing her again but just got yanked away from her and practically lifted off the floor by Edwin. Which I just realized he was about as tall as me now so of course he was taller than Max by a couple of inches When did he grew?
"Come on Miller I know you saw them here" he glared at Max who was kinda shaking "Those fucking pricks put their hands on my sisters! Where the fuck are they?! Answer me!"
He gulped tried to look at me and Ralph for help "I would listen to him before I came next on his death list if I were you dude" I heard Ralph say behind me. Most likely smirking at Max I just nodded in agreement.
"The Dot" he stuttered out
Edwin smirked punched him then kicked him in the stomach when he landed on the ground "Thanks" Nora would be so proud of his manners right now
We walked away from him "Should've answered him sooner" I looked up and saw everyone gaping at us I smirked at them "Drive safe everyone" with that we took off to look for them at the small diner kids usually hang out The Dot Good thing its not to far from the party we were there in about 10 minutes. I parked the car and got out.
"Hey guys what's up?" Sam asked us once we walked in.
"Is Brett and his followers here?"
"Nice to see you too D work is fine really I love serving people you meet new friends everyday" he rolled his eyes.
"Sam! We have no time for your sarcasm right now ok? Just please tell me if they're here or not''
He sighed "Table 7" I looked over where he was pointing at and saw them Case done a real number on them Rick had a bandage wrapped around his thigh Craig had a black eye a broken nose and Brett had a bandage around his head.
Rick looked at us when we went by them "Hey what are you guys up to?" he looked at all of us nervously Good
NOBODY'S POV
"The only thing that's up is my foot up your ass!" Edwin punched Rick he fell backwards then Edwin got on top of him started punching him more "You son of a bitch!" he stood up started kicking him "Get up!"
Ralph grabbed Brett by the collar and punched him "This is for my sisters asshole!" he kicked him in the groin when Brett automatically bend forward he kicked him in the face. He fell on the ground Ralph kicked him anywhere his foot could reach.
Derek grabbed Craig's seat from behind him so he would fall to the floor got on top of him and started punching wherever his fists could reach "Come on mother fucker get up!" Derek stood up and pulled him by his neck started choking him "Hit me back I dare you! Not so easy to defend yourself when its not a girl is it?" Craig punched him in the jaw making Derek drop him Craig started gasping for breath once he hit the ground. Derek started punching him again. Eventually Craig rolled over so he could punch him back but Derek would just roll over they keep doing that for a while until everyone traded punching bags every once in a while.
DEREK'S POV
"Come on D stop" I felt someone trying to pull me off Brett "D stop it ok whatever these guys did has to wait until later"
"No" I refused to move just kept punching him.
"Come on I can't lose my job just take it outside please" he pleaded.
"Sorry Sammy boy but I'm not leaving until these fuckers pay" I still refused to stop punching him.
"Please stop I'm sorry I won't do it again I promise" Brett started sobbing.
"Oh that's funny Casey and Lizzie said the same thing but did you listen?!" I got up kicked him hard felt like some of his ribs cracked Good "Did you listen?! Huh?!" I kicked the same spot he whimpered I was about to hit him again but I felt a group of hands grabbed me before I could "Let me go!" I tried to escape from whoever was holding me but no avail "I'm not finish with him yet!"
"Just let it go son" I looked at whoever was talking to me and notice it was a cop When did they get here? I saw some of the cops put handcuffs on Brett and his friends. Another set of cops were holding back Edwin and Ralph just like they were with me.
"I can't let it go" I saw them pass me by I tried to make another attempt going after them but a couple more cops came over to help the guys hold me back.
"Ok son let's go" they put me Ralph and Edwin in one car. And Brett and his followers in the other.
"Oh shit" Ralph put his hands over his face looked worried about something.
I looked at him "What?"
"Mom is going to kill us"
"What?"
"She's going to kill us when she finds out we got caught"
"Oh come on Ralph you know she's not going to be mad"
"We weren't supposed to get caught"
I paled suddenly realizing why he was scared "Maybe we'll get off the hook we got the guys good that should be enough right?" Ralph and Edwin just gave me a 'yeah right' look "Right?"
"Please we'll be lucky if all she does is skin us alive D" I winced knowing Edwin had a good point "We didn't finish those guys off and got caught. Do you think she's going to be happy?"
I gulped "Maybe" Fuck we're in deep shit I looked at the driver "Please tell me I'm doing time for assault or something"
He shook his head "Nope"
"Oh come on I was about to kill those guys shouldn't that give me attempted murder or something?" I asked him hopefully.
"You're parents should be by the station in a little bit"
"Come on help me out I'm begging you" he shook his head I sighed and looked at my brother and my friends they just looked at me like I'm crazy "What?"
"Why are you trying to get in trouble?"
"Would you rather go to juvie with a bunch of angry teenagers or go back home to an angry mom?" I raised an eyebrow at them.
They instantly paled Edwin looked at the driver put his hands on the cage thing started shaking it "Come on can't we get some time for assault or something? Anger management retreat or something? Anything please"
The driver just shook his head and laughed "Nah I'll just let you guys off with a warning and let your parents deal with you"
Ralph looked at both of us "Well I think we should enjoy our last night as much as we can bros" we nodded in agreement.
"I wonder who's going to kill us first Casey or mom"
"Either way its not going to be fast and painless D"
"I can wish can't I?"
"Wish all you want doesn't mean it'll come true"
"Damn"
CASEY'S POV
"I'm sure the boys are fine sweetie" I got up from my mom's lap so I could look at her.
"If they're fine then why aren't they home? They should've been here by now"
"Well maybe they went to celebrate or something you know how boys are"
I shook my head "They would've called if they did cause they know how worried I would get"
"Maybe they forgot you know how they're memories are"
I shook my head again "I don't think so mom"
"Honey you need to calm down" she put my head back to her lap and started stroking my hair again.
"I can't"
"Well try you know the boys wouldn't want you to get worried about them"
"Too late"
"Casey"
"I know I know calm down" I sighed a couple of minutes later the phone rang.
"Ah that's probably them right now" she gently moved my head towards George's lap so she can get the phone "Hello?…Derek are you ok?…You're where?" she sighed "Yeah she's fine…well kind of…you know how she is…you are so grounded…for what? For making me tell her where you guys are…you know she's going to find out anyways…you know what I should just let her deal with you…yes that is the punishment…I'll see you guys in about 20 minutes that should give you enough time to figure out how you're going to get out of this one…you're welcome love you honey be safe and tell the other two I love them too" she hung up the phone bit her lip and looked at me nervously.
"Mom? What's wrong?" she walked slowly to me and sat by me.
"Well…the important thing is the boys are fine sweetie"
"Mom" I sat up to look up at her.
"They're not hurt or anything" she smiled at me and chuckled nervously "Isn't that great?"
"Mom"
"They got taken to the police station for starting a fight"
"What?!"
"They found Brett and his friends at The Dot got a little reckless apparently Sam was working tonight so he had to call the police to get them out of there or he would've lost his job if he didn't"
"They did what?!"
"Honey its not as bad as it seems"
"Not as bad as it seems? Mom they started a fight when I told them not to start in the first place then they decide to almost cost Sam's job and to top it off they got arrested"
"Now I didn't say they were arrested they're just at the station the cops just wanted to know why they started a fight"
"And?"
"And they wanted you to come down to confirm it so Brett and his friends would do have to do time for what they did" I didn't say anything for a while I was still trying to process everything "Honey are you ok with that?"
"Are they going to be put away for a while if I do go down there?"
She nodded "I'll make sure of it and so would George" I looked over at him and he nodded.
"Ok let's get this over with" I got up
"Honey you sure you don't want to change before we go"
I nodded "Yeah they could take it as evidence"
"Wouldn't you have to take extra clothes to change into?"
"Don't they have spare clothes there?"
"I think so"
"Well then let's go" I walked out and went straight in the car the rest of the family came in a couple minutes later. After what felt like an eternity we finally pulled up to the station I walked in as soon the car stopped.
"Can I help you?" the woman at the front desk asked me.
"Yeah I'm Casey McDonald I believe I was supposed to talk to someone or something"
She got up and walked around the desk to stand next to me "Of course right this way" she lead me to a room. There was a rectangle table in the middle of the room with two chairs a big mirror to my right on the wall and a camera in the corner by it "There should be someone with you in a moment make yourself comfortable"
I walked over to one of the chairs "That should be easy at a police station with no privacy" I mumbled I thought was quietly but I guess she heard me cause she chuckled after I said it then she left. I sat there getting more uncomfortable by the minute. Someone finally came in. A black man who looks about in to be in his mid 30s he sat down across from me.
"Hey I'm agent Morris your Ms. McDonald I assume" he reached out his hand for me to shake I took it
"Please call me Casey"
"Ok Casey I'm just wanted to ask you a couple of questions if that's alright with you"
"Is Derek ok? How about Ralph and Edwin?"
"Yes they're fine a bit shaken up but other than that they're fine"
"Shaken up?"
He laughed "They seem to be scared to go home"
"Huh?"
"They kept begging to stay here longer so they wouldn't have to face your mom"
"Oh"
"Is it alright if I asked you a couple of questions?"
"Yeah"
"Do you know why you're brothers started a fight with those other boys?"
I looked down "Yes"
"Care to explain?"
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath I told him everything that happened at the party.
"Then what happened?"
"I walked home and told my family everything"
"So you're brothers hunt them down"
"Yes"
He nodded "Ok" he got up "Can we take a couple of pictures for evidence?"
"Would it put them away for a while?"
"I guarantee they're going to be put away for a long time Casey don't worry"
"What about my brothers? And my stepbrother?"
He shrugged "Self defense"
"But how-"
"Casey I have 3 sisters and if anyone tried to hurt them the way these boys tried to hurt you I would've done the same thing or worse if I didn't get caught so I know how they feel"
"So that means…"
"They're off the hook but if they decide to take matters in their own hands again tell them not to get caught cause I can't guarantee we can look the other way every time ok?"
I smiled ran by him and gave him a hug I almost knocked him over "Thank you"
"No problem" he hugged me back then let me go "I'm going to send someone in to take the pictures after you're done then you guys can go" I nodded and he left. Someone came in took pictures of my injuries and gave me a change of clothes. They took my shredded ones as evidence. Once I was done changing I walked out of the room and went to find my family.
"Hey Spacey over here" I looked down the hall
He stood there and opened his arms "Derek" I ran over to him and jumped in his arms "I'm sorry" I mumbled in his shoulder.
He put his chin on the top of my head "What are you sorry for?"
"You guys got into trouble because of me"
"What are you talking about?"
"If I would've just gave what they wanted then you guys wouldn't be here right now everyone's right I am a prude"
"Hey listen to me and listen carefully ok?" I nodded "You told them no they should've stop when you told them to but they didn't its not your fault its theirs for not listening" he kissed on my forehead "Just thank god you got out of there in time who knows what would've happen if you didn't get away" he pulled me closer "I don't know what I would do without you princess"
"Ditto" I closed my eyes "You do realize comments aren't going to get you out of trouble right?"
"Damn"
2 WEEKS LATER
"There you go madam moiselle is there anything else I can get for you?" Sam put my veggie burger and French fries in front of me. Me, Derek, Ralph, Edwin, and Lizzie were hanging out at The Dot since Sam was working again we decided to pay him a visit we were about to leave but he insisted that me and Lizzie eat something first.
I giggled at his silliness "Another refill please if its not to much trouble"
He chucked "Oh yeah getting another ice tea is so much trouble Case"
"Well yeah you have to go all the way behind the counter refill it then come all the way out here you sure its not to much trouble just for little old me?" I teased him he grabbed my cup.
"There's no such thing as too much trouble when it comes to one of my favorite sisters" he ruffled my hair a little.
"Hey don't touch the hair" I slapped his hand away he chuckled and went to go refill my drink. I smiled the good thing that came out of the mess with Brett was I got closer to Edwin, Sam, and Ralph they're actually feel like real brothers to me.
"Where do you guys want to go after we're done?" Lizzie looked around at the table
"I don't know" Edwin tried to grab some food off of her plate but she slapped his hand away.
"Hey hands off the food"
"Dude you should know by now not to touch her food" Ralph shook his head at him disapointedly.
"But I'm hungry" he whined
"Hey while your over there Sammy boy can you get me something? We're starving over here too"
Derek was actually starting to get closer to me. I feel like I can come to him for anything.
Sam walked over and put my drink in front of me "Thank you" he nodded then glared at Derek.
"Sorry D you're going have to go somewhere else to eat"
"But-"
"No buts I'm still mad at you guys"
"Come on be fair"
"Fair? You guys started a fight without telling me why, you didn't tell me anything about Brett and his friends did so I couldn't get a shot at them before they got sent to juvie, and you almost cost me my job now you want to talk about fair?"
"Ok I admit that I should've told you or warn you what we were up to but that was 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't we be forgiven by now?"
"No"
"Ok when will we be forgiven then?"
He smirked at him "When Casey does"
Derek groaned and started hitting his head against the table "Um Derek you might wanna stop doing that you can lose more brain cells…if that's possible" he stopped and glared at me I just laughed at him Hey just because we're closer doesn't mean I completely forgiven or stop giving him a hard time about everything. Besides if we stopped picking on each other completely then we wouldn't be Derek and Casey now would we?
THE END
