"Watch me spin sissy!" Kandyce squealed on the ice.

Janessa and I turned our heads and watched as Kandyce started spinning on the ice like a pro. We began clapping and cheering her on as her spin got faster.

I turned my head and watched as Kevin skated around slapping the puck. He gained speed and went for the trashcan net.

"Kevin Knight playing center for CBJ steals the puck….He's approaching the net….slap shot!...and the Columbus Blue Jackets win!" I shouted as he made his goal.

Kevin held his hockey stick in the air as he did a victory lap and slapped mine and Janessa's outstretched hands as he passed.

"Woah there Kev, with a slapshot like that you'll be playing center in the NHL before your seventh birthday." Came an all too familiar voice from behind us.

I whipped around and there was Adeline a few yards away, trotting through the snow towards us. Kevin turned around and fell over when he seen her, we all laughed as he blushed darkly and got back up. He shot us a glare as he went to play a game of one on one with Kandyce.

"So." Adeline said, squeezing in between Janessa and I.

I took a deep breath and just let it out.

"So…my dads shipping me off to Minnesota." I said.

Her eyes widened, her mouth gaped and she looked at me in horror. The expression on her face was somewhat comical.

"What! No! You guys can't go, if you leave me here by myself with Spencer! Oh the horror." Adeline covered her face with her hands and pretended to sob. I gently patted her back.

"Have you been smoking today Add?" I asked softly, I didn't need an answer though, I could smell the marijuana radiating off of her coat.

Adeline lifted her head quickly, her dark red curls bounced around her head wildly. "Just a little." She admitted, a cheesy smile spreading across her face.

I rolled my eyes and laughed, good ol Adeline.

Janessa lifted her head. "Dude, you should totally come with us." She suggested, lighting up a cigarette.

Adeline rolled her eyes and snatched the small tobacco stick from between her lips.

"Hey!"

Adeline took a long drag. "Does your mom care if we go Trix?" She asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know, and I don't care. If she doesn't like it, I don't have a problem turning back around and coming back home." I said absentmindedly as I continued to watch the kiddies hockey game.

Adeline nod. "I'll go, but what about Spencer?" She asked, offering what was left of Janessas cigarette out to me.

I took it from her and relished the sweet taste of nicotine. "We were going to go see about Spence tonight, after Sadie goes to bed."

Adeline nod slowly. "She really doesn't like you, does she?" She asked.

I laughed. "Nope, not since last summer when we all got arrested for being out past curfew."

"Fuckin Sadie and her smart ass fucking mouth." Janessa muttered quietly as she chewed on her nails.

I laughed and tossed the butt.

"Come on girls, let's see what adventures today holds." I said as we all stood up.

XOXOXOXO

Tink…

Tink…

TINK!...

"Spencer!" I hissed into the darkness outside of her apartment.

No answer.

I began throwing more gravel at her window

Janessa groaned. "I say we just knock on the door." She said, making her way out of the shrub we were both sitting in.

I grabbed her by the back of her flannel before she could get too far. "No Nes, if we wake up Sadie she'll call the cops on us again." I whispered.

Janessa rolled her eyes and tossed her arms up into the air. "Fine, since you're the brains behind this operation. What do you suppose we do, oh mighty smart one?" She asked, throwing herself at my feet.

I rolled my eyes right back at her and kicked her in the rear. "No time for smartass-ness. Let's just convince Spence to go with us so we can go back to my place and crash." I said, walking out of the shrub.

Since plan A epicly failed us, I began climbing up the side of the building, carefully making my way from balcony ledge to balcony ledge until I was at her window. I didn't have time to lift my hand and knock on the window though, a huge brick came barreling out of nowhere and with a loud crash, went straight through Spencers bedroom window.

So much for staying quiet.

I looked back towards the ground. "Ness, What the hell man! That almost hit me!" I yelled, picking up a clay flowerpot and launching it down towards her.

She easily stepped out of the way and laughed in my face.

"What the hell is going on out here, what are you guys doing here! It's almost eleven, people are trying to sleep!"

I turned back around. "Oh hey Spencer, how nice of you to come out and join us on this fine night." I said, grinning sheepishly.

"Yeah right Spencer, everyone knows that you don't sleep!" Came Janessas loud voice from below.

Spencer stuck her head out of the broken window and glanced down at Janessa, then back to me, then back to Janessa.

"Okay this isn't an old spice commercial, stop with the head turning!" I exclaimed.

Spencer once again glared. "I could push you to your death right now, did you know that?" She asked me sweetly.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes I know, but you won't. You know why? Cause you love me, now move over!" I said, climbing through her window.

"Okay! Ill just chill down here, buy myself a hooker, smoke some crack, you know me!" Came Janessas voice from outside.

Spencer laughed. "You know you guys could've just knocked on the door, right? Sadie is with Tommy tonight, it's their six year anniversary. No need to go knocking out my windows." She said, grabbing a vacuum from the corner to sweep up the glass.

"You hear that Trix, we could've just knocked on the door! Who'd have thought!" Janessa continued to yell.

"Hey! Stop that damn screaming out there before I call the cops!" Yelled one of Spencers apartment neighbors.

Janessa turned and threw her hands up in the voices direction. "So sorry my good sir. Hey! Why don't you go bitch at someone who cares!" She yelled back, sticking her middle digits up at the man.

Spencer groaned and stuck her head out the window. "Janessa, stop fighting with Mr. Davis and come clean up this mess!" She demanded in a quiet hiss.

Janessa groaned and began climbing her way up the side of the building.

Spence turned back to me and raised a brow. "What are you two doing here?" She asked.

I huffed. "We're running off to Minnesota, care to join?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

Spencer's eyes widened, she sat down on the edge of her bed and just stared.

I waved my hand in front of her face.

"Spencer…"

Nothing.

I shook her shoulder.

"Spence…"

Nada.

"SPENCER!"

I spun around and let my fist go shooting forward.

"Ouch, you fuckin nut! Why'd you just hit me?" Janessa asked, rubbing her bruising shoulder.

I laughed and shrugged. "You scared me."

Janessa just grumbled under her breath and moved to vacuum up the glass shards.

I sat down next to Spencer. "Spence, if you don't want to go you don't have to." I said, patting her on the shoulder.

She snapped out of whatever she was in and turned towards me.

"You mean you two are leaving me here with Adeline!" She screeched.

I flinched away from her loudness. "Of course not, Adeline is coming with us."

She got up and made her way to the closet. "Well, im not gonna sit here and be left behind." She said as she began pulling her cloths from their hangers.

Janessa and I shared a fist bump before I got up to help her pack.

Things were going smoother than expected.

Janessa walked toward the window and stuck her head out. "Abort mission AJ, she's going willingly!"

I could hear Adelines groan from outside. "But I wanted to use the duct tape!"

"If you kids do not shut the hell up!"

Janessa stuck her head back out the window. "Hey, do you want a piece of me old man!"

I laughed and pulled Janessa through the window before she ended back up in jail.

XOXOXOXO

"Call me when you get to Minnesota, okay?" Dad said as he released me from his bear hug.

I nod. "Course, stay awesome?" I advised with a childish grin.

Dad rolled his eyes and pulled me back in for another tight hug, leaving him behind was going to be hard. He wasn't the best father in the world, not even close. But he was my father, and leaving him was probably the hardest thing I was ever going to do. We never seen eye to eye, and our arguments always turned into fist being thrown. But that was us, that's how we Knights rolled.

Janessa honked the car horn. "Come on Trix! We need to go if we want to get there before midnight!" She yelled, cutting off my train of thought.

With one last tight squeeze we let eachother go, this was it.

I was leaving the nest.

I was finally out on my own.

I was-

Who am I kidding, I was just moving two states over to bug the hell out of my dead beat mother.

With my stomach in knots I made my way toward the car, I didn't know what to expect. I hoped Jennifer didn't mind that I was bringing my three sisters along for the ride, we all planned to throw our money together and rent a place. She missed out on the last ten years of my life, so having a few house guests for a couple weeks shouldn't be a problem…right? I shook my head and got into the car between Kandyce and Kevins booster seats, I slowly waved at dad as Spencer began to drive away.

Highway to Hell started playing on the radio as Janessa began passing around the beers, I couldnt help but laugh at the irony.

I lifted my bottle. "Here's to you." I began.

Adeline grinned. "Here's to me." She said, lifting her own bottle.

"And here's to what we'll always be." Janessa and Spencer finished off with a laugh.

We clanked our bottles together before taking a sip.

This was it.

This was the start of a new chapter to our lives.

BLEH! I re-wrote this chapter three times before I felt happy with it, hope it was okay. The chapters will get longer as the plot deepens, I promise. The quote 'Here's to you, heres to me, and heres to what we'll always be.' Is from my grandmother who passed away this past November, this story is sort of dedicated to her I guess. Because she was a wild one back in her day, shes my insperation for this whole thing…anywhos, reviews are always appreciated :)
