"Hannah?" Beth got up from the couch and I put my wallet in my back jean pocket. I heard her door open upstairs and then her soft footsteps. When she appeared at the bottom of the stairs she looked between myself and Beth.
"Let em guess…you guys going out to kill drug dealers?" She crossed her arms over her chest and I nodded.
"Funny attitude for a girl who's grounded for the rest of her life." Her mouth fell open slightly, and Beth walked to her.
"Please be good. We'll be home as soon as we can." She rolled her eyes and Beth sighed, grabbed her face and kissed her forehead. "Call if you need us." Beth walked to the front door and slipped on her black leather jacket. I stepped in front of Hannah and reached in my front pocket.
"What no speech about how I can't' have any friends over, or how I can't' sneak out or…" I pulled out a little silver bracelet and quickly snapped it on her tiny wrist. She looked down and raised her hand. There was one single red light barley shinning. She looked up at me one eyebrow raised, just like I do. "What is this?" I grinned and walked to the front door.
"Think of this as an early birthday present from me."
"Why is there a red light on?" Beth turned to me fast and I put on my own jacket.
"Kendall Donald Knight…" I grabbed my car keys and turned back to Hannah who was already trying to take it off.
"Sweetheart, it's a tracking device your Uncle Carlos made for you." Her head snapped up and her face twisted into complete horror. "If you want to try and test me, go ahead and go out with someone. I will be able to find you."
"Dad?! Do you not trust me?" I laughed and opened the front door letting Beth walk out.
"No I don't. I love you, but you already ruined our trust. We'll be home in a few hours. Love you sweetheart!" I shut the door before she could start yelling at me. I quickly locked it and walked to the car, Beth was already sitting in. When I got in the driver's seat and clicked on my seatbelt. Beth was putting on another layer of ruby red lipstick and wasn't looking at me at all. When she threw her lipstick back in her makeup bag and closed the visor. She sat back and I started driving away. We sat in silence and half way to Abbey and Logan's house I finally glanced over to her. She was staring at me. I looked away fast and slowed down at a red light. "Something on your mind?" I remained looking straight ahead and she chuckle beside me.
"It must be hard getting old and not being able to control over your beautiful growing daughter." I snapped to her fast and she crossed her legs brushing off her black skinny jeans. "I mean…geeze you almost had a heart attack when you heard she was out with a boy for goodness sake, when she told us she was going to be out with her girlfriend! Now she can't even stay at home, grounded, without her paranoid over protective asshole father putting a tracking device on her god damn arm! Don't you think we've raised her better than that? She knows when she's grounded she has to follow our rules, and if she doesn't it just gets worse for her, so why in the world would she jeopardize it? Don't you think that says something about us, if she does disobey us again?" She breathed out hard a couple times, and a few strands of her bangs fell out of the clip on the side of her head. She reached up fast and tucked them back in. She sat back, and crossed her arms over her chest, and glanced out the window.
"Are you better now? You glad you got that off your chest?" She turned to me, with a very pissed off look on her face and I stepped on the gas turning. "You know your whole speech was a bunch of bullshit because you are the one who wanted me to go out, and in your words, fuck him up." She closed her mouth and turned away. "Besides…don't you want her safe?"
"That's a stupid question…" She mumbled under her breath and I reached out, gently squeezing onto her thigh. "I just don't want a moody teenage girl who hates us because we don't trust her."
"Well we don't." She sighed irritated, and mumbled something under her breath but I couldn't hear her.
We pulled up in front of Logan and Abbey's house and she jumped out quickly. I followed suite watching her ass the whole way knowing I wasn't going to see that for quite a while. The door opened before we even got to it and Logan came walking out, fast, slipping on a coat. "Let's go." He walked right past Beth who gave him a dirty look. "See ya Beth." He shoved past em and at the same time Abbey appeared in the doorway, wrapping a sweater around her. She sighed softly and both Beth and I walked up to her.
"Is…everything okay?" Abbey looked to Beth but then turned to me.
"Can you just…watch him for me?" I had to resist the urge to punch her in the face, so I nodded. I kissed Beth's cheek and quickly walked away from the two girls who started talking before walking in the house and closing the door. I got in the car fast and as soon as my door shut he was screaming.
"Fucking tramp thinks she can go out all night and come home at 7 in the morning and act like nothing fucking happened! She is letting some other fucking guy fuck her and then she just comes back into my fucking bed like nothing happened! What the fuck am I supposed to do? You have no idea how hard it is to see her and not feel…betrayed." He sat back put his hands in his lap and shook his head. "This is why I hate falling in love. And then marrying that girl, and having three kids with that girl. She is just like all the other girls I've ever been with, ya know? One minute their telling me they love me more than life and the next, she's taking it form the back with some douche bag." He put a hand on his forehead and put his head back. "I don't know if is should be mad or sad Kendall. I literally have given her my whole life, and in one short week, she ruined me." I leaned back, and ran a hand through my hair. I honestly had no idea what to say, and it was killing me to see my best friend like this.
"Loges…I'm going to take care of him." He turned to me and swallowed hard. I had only ever seen Logan Mitchell cry a few times. And after he did cry those short times, it was never pretty for the person who made him cry. "I'm going to find who it is, and I'm going to take care of him." He nodded and turned away, but I still saw him wipe under his eye.
"Let's just go see this kid." I turned on the ignition and drove off. We drove in complete silence all the way up to the high school. I don't know how he found out, but Logan found out that a bunch of kids go up there at night and drink and have bon fires. Well it was my lucky night then.
When I parked next to a few other cars, Logan got out fast and slammed the door, making sure the kids on the field heard us. When they saw both of us walking towards us, a few of the guys stood up. When I saw him, the one Logan had explained to me. He had a dumb ass grin on his face as he walked towards us. "Wait…I know who you guys are! Rent-a-cop right?" Logan chuckled and stopped right in front of this kid. With Logan always being shorted then me, this kid towered over him and I knew he thought that would scare Logan away but it didn't.
"Funny guy. Now I know why my niece is so into you." The kids smile fell as he turned to me. "Yeah were those guys. Her very pissed off father and very pissed off uncle." He swallowed hard and looked between the two of us.
"If you knew what was right for yourself, you would stay away from her." I stepped forward and the kid stepped back. "I don't like hurting kids, but I can make an exception for you."
"Look, she said she wanted to go out with me. I didn't force her too." Logan again chuckled and shook his head.
"Were not accusing you of anything kid. We are just here to warn you to keep away from her. She's too young and you are too, not her type." He stared down at Logan who shrugged his shoulders. "And if you make my beautiful niece cry I will break every single bone in your body, k?" Logan turned away from him and rolled his eyes walking back to my car. I looked the kid up and down before turning myself.
"I only went out with her because she's a virgin." I turned quick and saw the same stupid grin on his face. "I asked around and every guy said it was impossible to get in her pants, but…not for me." He backed away and turned, walking back to the field. I wasn't sure if I was shaking or if there was an earthquake but I was defiantly pissed. "Oh and Mr. Knight?" The guy turned and quickly walked to a small sports car, cherry red. He reached in, pulled something out form the back and walked over to me. He got right in front of my face and pushed something into my chest. I had my fists clenched and felt Logan right next to me. "Will you give these back to her? Thanks." He turned away and before they fell I caught it. I looked down but really wished I hadn't. In my hands were a small pair of red laced panties. My whole world flipped upside down as my mind spiraled out of control.
