I own nothing concerning Bullet to the head so NO money is being made. Thank you for reading and lease review, I am still trying to work on the younger versions of the characters from the original story. Again my thanks and enjoy…
My head was killing me, I was walking around with a nice size lump, Josephine and Vanessa laughing "Your face was priceless!" the chuckled together while I fumed taking a seat waiting for the pizza man. "Not every day I get nailed with a football, of course I was surprised," I vented but they didn't look as if they believed such things.
"Yeah not to mention seeing Keegan shirtless had nothing to do with it at all," Josephine smiled wiggling her brows at me "Hush it, I am with our best friend,"
The sound of our chattering filled my father's home as we waited for his arrival and the long awaited pizza man.
The loud chime of the door made us jump but Vanessa was the first to the door but I had the cash so I was getting the first slice. There stood Keegan with our two large pizza's and a sly smile "Hi there, ladies, I paid a small token for hitting Iris, again I am really sorry, never would I," it was rather cute the way he stumbled over his words.
"It's okay," Josephine smirked "Come out, I doubt your father want's boys in his home," Keegan just had this way about him. "Yeah let's eat outside it's a nice day," I closed the door behind us as we sat in the yard under the willow tree, I knew one day I would be here with my children, maybe having a picnic or party. But for now it was us together having lunch, all laughing and smiles. Now, if Hale and Iggy were here this wouldn't be happening. Keegan was handing Vanessa a paper plate when my father's Jeep was seen in the distance. The dirt road churning up around it "Daddy's home,"
"Should I go?" Keegan asked looking at me it was hard to tear my eyes away "No," so we sat as daddy was driving up to the gate, his tall form unfolded he always had a smile on his face unlike my mother. "Hello Daddy," I smiled as he walked up to us.
"I see you invited the pizza boy to have lunch my dear," he gave a deep chuckle "No daddy this is Keegan we go to school together, we saw him at the beach he is on vacation with his mama," now we laughed as Keegan blushed.
"Oh, well hello Keegan. I am Karl Iris's very handsome and funny father," his hand held out as Keegan was quick to his feet "A pleasure Sir,"
We all sat with my father eating pizza Keegan and daddy talking sports "Iris is rather good at baseball," Keegan mentioned "Of course she is, she has played sports since she could walk. I tell you now Keegan, I am hoping that her boyfriend Iggy understands what a gem my baby girl is," hearing Keegan scoff made daddy look up.
"You either don't like him or think otherwise," my father's voice was low now his eyes boring into Keegan's seeing something. "I have never gotten along with him honestly. His older brother Grey was in a serious relationship with my older sister Lola. Everyone knows Iggy is very much like his older brother, hero like worship, he may not be his brother but to me he is enough like him. I loved my sister, anyone who met her fell in love with her she just had this personality so warm and loving. She walked into a room and things felt lighter, she would look at me shaking her head saying "Keegan you fool, why you acting so stupid," every time I was in trouble. Then about a year ago my world fell apart, she was out with Grey it was their graduation party. Her friends said she fell asleep in his truck while he was drinking, they tried to get his keys but it failed he drove off from that party with Lola asleep. She never woke up, never felt her own life end. But Grey lived, only did six months for her death, the other two guys are doing three years, since they are at fault. But he was, he made the choice to drive away drunk with my sister. Because his choice we don't have her, my father is even worse now, my mama puts on a brave face but I hear her crying at times," my breath hitching, tears coating my face seeing the exact motions on the girls faces.
"Nothing I can say will make it better. But Keegan the pain will become a scar it will never go away but you will learn to live with it, a parent should never lose a child we are willing and able to go first. I would love to meet your mother, she sounds like a brave woman, I will be talking to this Iggy very soon," daddy said his hand braced on Keegan's shoulder.
"She is,"
"Well than dinner tomorrow night, I am going to drive you back so I can confirm," soon we watched Keegan and daddy leaving "I never heard the story Hale and Iggy, never and I mean they never talk about it, I heard rumors and guess they are true no wonder he left town," Vanessa mutters as we watch Full House "I am down right mad, they should have," Josephine argued.
"I agree with Josephine, Grey was at fault it was very reckless and deadly," we hear daddy walk in "Okay ladies, I am off to my office. We will be having dinner with Mabel and Keegan tomorrow such a pretty lady but nothing on your sweet mama Vanessa," we gaged as he laughed leaving us.
The house phone goes off as I answer "Hello,"
"Hey is Vanessa able to talk?" it was Hale "Yeah she is Hale, hold one moment," I smile handing her the phone "Hey Hale, funny thing we heard the whole story about Grey, the real story the one you have tried to hide from me. So you better and I mean better fix this. I really don't want to talk tonight, does Iggy actually want to talk to Iris?" I waited.
"You're right its bullshit, you better think real hard buddy," we watched her hang up "Sorry Iggy was playing Mario Bro's with Grey," well I see.
