Chapter 3:

I stayed ducked in the car, looking at Billy with wide eyes. "Satisfied?" He asked. "You're a real dick you know that? I'm fine thanks babe." I said coldly. "Still know so much right?" He asked sarcastically. "I apparently do. I know I don't have to depend on people for my life." I said. "I'm proud of you." He said genuinely. "I learned from the best I guess." I said and he smirked at me.

We stopped in front of Bone's business garage he has. I stepped out of the car and leaned against it. "I'll be right out." Billy said as he pulled the bag onto his shoulder. "O.K." I said as he put his hand on my face. I looked into his blue eyes and could see that he cared for me. I know he does. Sometimes he just likes to pose as a non-caring bad ass. Romantic huh? He kissed me then pecked my lips once. "Five minutes." He said and walked into the garage. That was one place he never let me in. I guess it didn't matter. I didn't really want to. Bones wasn't a nice guy from what I've heard. I was never really great with meeting fathers anyways. "You alright?" I heard Bodie say as he headed towards me. "I'm fine." I replied coolly. Surprisingly, I was fine. I wasn't shaking or trembling so I took it as a good sign.

Billy came towards us with a pissed off expression. "Get in the car." He said as he walked to the driver side. I got in like he said without questions. He never came out of his dad's garage in a good mood. I never wanted to push it farther. "We're going to our bar, Joe should be there now." Billy finally spoke and I nodded. "Hey drop me off at Kasey's." I said and he looked at me. "It's on the way, about 5 to 20 minutes passed the bar, you know that." I said and he sighed. "Alright." He replied. We turned into the bar and he parked. Bodie came to his window after he parked the mustang. "I', dropping Bella off at Kasey's. I'll be back in 10 minutes." He told him. Bodie nodded and headed inside. Billy backed up and pulled back into the street. "You working tonight?" Billy asked when we stopped in front of Kasey's apartment. "As far as I know." I said as I unbuckled my seatbelt. "Alright. I'll pick you up later." He said and I nodded as I opened my door. "Hey…" He said as he grabbed my hand. "No kiss goodbye?" He smirked. "I rolled my eyes and smiled as I turned back to him. He kissed me holding me there in place.

"Want to keep her clothes on there Darley, because I'd rather not see my best friend like that." I heard Kasey as she put trash in the trash can. "You don't have to watch." Billy said and she laughed. That was the good thing about Kasey, she joked a lot and gets along with my boyfriend. "That's what your apartment is for. I'm pretty sure my neighbors don't want their eight year old daughter to see that… uh action." She said and smiled. "Screw the neighbors." Billy said and I laughed. "I'll see you later." I pecked his lips quickly and left the car. We watched Billy drive off and went inside. "So how's it going Kasey?" I asked as she passed me a Faygo. "Not bad. You?" She asked. "Almost got killed today, but other than that I guess I can't complain." I replied. "Whoa…Sounds exciting." She smiled as I punched her jokingly on the arm.

"Wheres Kathy?" I asked. "Up in her room." She said pointing towards the stairs. "I'm going to go say hey real quick." I said heading towards the stairs. "I'll be in the living room." She called as I headed up the stairs. I walked to Kathy's room and knocked on her door. Soft music could be heard inside. The door opened and Kathy smiled. "Hey Bella." She greeted happily as she stepped aside to let me in. I walked around the room looking at all the pictures of her and Kasey together. Kathy and Kasey have always been close, but ever since their parents died a year ago they've been closer. Kathy is only 17 so she is considered a minor, but since Kasey is 22 she can legally be her guardian. They've lived together ever since.

"So what's the plans for tonight?" I asked putting a picture down. "Brendan is taking me out." She replied with a huge grin. "You're getting serious about that Hume guy huh?" I asked her smiling when I turned to her. She nodded when she picked up a picture of them together. I walked to her side and looked at the picture. "It was after one of his hockey games." She never stopped smiling. They looked so happy together. "Its going to suck when he goes to college." She said putting the picture down. "Well, you're a junior at least. You'll be in college with him soon enough." I said and she smiled more. "I guess I better go back to Kasey before she thinks I ran off. Bye Kathy." I said. "See you later Bella." Kathy called and I shut the door. O headed down the stairs and into the living room. "Hey." I said sitting beside Kasey. "Hey. She getting ready for her date I'm guessing?" Kasey said and I laughed a bit as I nodded. "I'm happy for her." I said. "Me too. Its better than her dating a hood. No offense." She said. "Non-taken." I said and from there it was silent.

A couple hours had passed and the doorbell rang. Kasey answered it as Kathy rushed down the stairs. I got up from the couch and headed to the front door. "I want her home after the date alright?" Kasey said and he smiled and nodded. "No problem." He said. "You mean I can't go to the hockey game?" She asked and pouted. "I want you home tonight ok?" Kasey said sternly yet nicely. "Fine." Kathy said sighing as she gave in. "Its alright babe, we'll still have fun." He said and she smiled. He took her hand and they left together. "He seems nice." I said as Kasey shut the door. "He is." She smiled and looked at the clock. She looked out the window as I grabbed my jacket. "So why aren't you letting her go to the game?" I asked. "Hes why…" I heard her say. IU went to the window with her as I pulled my jacket on. Billy pulled up, along with the other mustang, and honked the horn. "Billy?" I asked confused.

The horn honked again and Kasey sighed. "You should go. You know how Billy gets." She said and I nodded. "Bye Kasey." I said as I went out the front door. I got to Billy's car and saw Joe in the passenger seat. I eyed Billy but he didn't say anything. Joe got out of the car and pulled the seat up to let me in. I looked at Joe and saw him staring at her apartment window. Kasey stood at the window staring at him until she disappeared behind the curtains. He looked at me as I looked at him. "Come on. Get in." He said and I gave him a look. "Come on. Let's go!" He said getting impatient and gave me a push. I got inside and saw my workbag on the floor by my feet. I started piecing everything together. My workbag packed instead of going home first, Joe in the car along with some others, the other mustang trialing us. Also the way Kasey looked at Joe. Tonight was Joe's initiation. Kasey was afraid Brendan and Kathy would be on the road and become victims to this, which is why she wouldn't let Kathy go to the game. We arrived at the diner I work at and Joe got out to let me out.

I grabbed the bag and started getting out of the car. Billy grabbed my arm and I looked at him. "I'll pick you up later tonight." He said. "Will you?" I asked coldly. He saw the look on my face and knew that I knew everything. I got out of the car and looked at Joe with slight disappointment. "Good luck Joe." I said. "You're going to need it." I mumbled and walked into the diner. I guess some things never change…
