Sorry this chapter came in late!!
Ok this chapter is basically to fill space but if you skip it you won't understand what's happening in the next one.
I walked out of the kitchen to see what they had done. The TV was on the floor the front smashed.
"I only asked if she was your girlfriend," Zanda said holding the back of his head.
"What about the little after comment, when I said no," Zackye snapped.
"What did he say," I asked.
"You don't want to know," Tyler said, putting his hand over his mouth so he wouldn't laugh.
"Don't worry about it," Zackye said "It was nothing," He said.
"Well it must have been bad if you hit him," I said looking at the TV.
"Don't worry about it," Zackye said.
"Fine," I said and walked back to the kitchen to finish cooking.
It took me until six thirty to finish dinner and then I set the table, Zackye and his friends were already sitting at the table when I set it and served dinner. My head started hurting again so the pain killers must have been wearing off, I tried to ignore it for now I would take some more after dinner. We sat down and began eating then Zanda started being a jerk.
"So… if she's not your girlfriend whys she sleeping over?" he asked randomly.
"It's none of your business," he said stubbornly.
"Well I'm going to find out when we ph-," he cut off when there was a thump under the table.
"Ow, why did you kick me," Zanda asked, facing Rihon.
"Because you're an idiot," Rihon said glaring at him.
"Oh, ah I mean nothing," he said looking away.
What was he about to say that was so urgent they had to kick him to shut up? I thought sending a questioning glance to Zackye only to have him turn away.
I sighed, I'd have to ask him later, because obviously he wasn't supposed to talk about it, more like not allowed to…
It was quiet for a while until Zanda decided to break the silence.
"So, how old are you Danielle," he asked, Zackye rolled his eyes and Tyler looked like he was about to crack up laughing.
"I'm sixteen," I said.
"Hm… you want to go-," Zanda started, but Zackye cut him off.
"You just met her moron," Zackye snapped.
"Yeah but she's-," Zanda was cut off again.
"I swear if you finish that sentence I'll kick you out of my house," he said in a monotone voice.
"Fine…,"
When they finished dinner they put there plates in the sink, then went to lounge room to watch something, but when Tyler was walking to lounge room Zanda tackled him to the groaned knocking over a lamp and coffee table in the process, then Tyler being the youngest laughed and turned around and punched him.
"Idiots," I muttered out loud.
Rihon joined, play fighting on the floor but after they broke another three pieces of furniture (the shelf, all the photos on the shelf, and Tyler being thrown of the coffee table so it was broken beyond repair) Zackye decided he wanted to keep the rest of the lounge room in one piece.
Marcus walked over to Zackye, holding out money.
"I owe you money for the damage they have caused," he said.
"Don't worry about it," Zackye said smiling.
"I insist," he said putting the money in his hand, he shook his head giving it back.
"I can't take your money," he said, Marcus nodded taking a step away.
"We better get going now, I will meet you at school," he said heading towards the door. The others followed after him quickly. I followed them out to say goodbye, Marcus paused for a moment looking up at the door. He turned to me, grabbing my hand.
"Take this money, and give it to Zackye once I have left," I just stared at him dumbfounded for a moment as he placed more than three hundred dollars in my hand. I shook my head quickly, trying to clear it, and then nodded.
I watched as they left, then made my way back inside, Zackye was sitting on the couch staring at the ceiling. I slowly walked over to him, waiting a moment before speaking.
"Marcus gave me money for you," I said, he sighed and held his hand out.
"I knew he'd find a way to get me to take it," he muttered as I handed it to him.
Zackye looked up at the time it was nearly ten o'clock.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
"No," I lied I didn't want to bug him.
"Well, I'm going to get the TV from my room, so we have something to watch," he said getting up, and heading down the hallway.
I sat down on the couch next to Zackye and started watching TV I wasn't really paying attention to what we were watching I was thinking about what Zanda was about to say before Rihon had stopped him earlier. I yawned and let my head rest against Zackye's shoulder I would ask him later. For a while I was focusing on trying to stay awake because my eyelids wear getting heavier and heaver I must have fallen asleep.
I woke up the next morning laid on the couch with a blanket on. I started to think about what I was going to do, because I couldn't really just live on Zackye's couch for the rest of my life even though he seemed to think I could. I should at least have to pay rent but no he wouldn't take money from me and it wasn't like I had any. I had only known him for two days if that and he was like the big brother I never had.
Zackye and I had breakfast, and got ready for school, we didn't talk very much, I was still wondering what Zanda had been about to say last night. I'll ask him on the way to school, I thought to myself.
We walked out to Zackye's car, I walked around to the passenger door, I hesitated for a moment before opening the door and getting in. Zackye started the car and we began driving down the road.
"Zackye," I said.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Last night… when Tyler kicked Zanda to stop him, what was he about to say?" I asked.
His expression changed to one I couldn't read, it looked almost like regret.
"I'm sorry… I can't tell you," he murmured.
I sighed I thought I was going to get a response similar to this.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's a secret," he replied.
"If it's a secret how come all of them know," I asked.
"Well because there part of the secret," he said getting frustrated.
"I won't tell anyone," I said.
"If I could tell you then I would, but I can't," he replied.
"Fine," I said.
The car stoped and we were at the school. I got out slamming the door and heading straight for the school.
"Dani wait!" I heard Zackye call, I turned to face him, "look I hate keeping secrets, and if I could I would tell you… I'm sorry."
I sighed, I couldn't stay angry at him.
"It's ok," I murmured, "It's not your fault."
The rest of the week went pretty much the same, except for the part where I hit my head on the desk. Alick acted as if I wasn't there, or if I ran into him in the hall he would say 'watch where you're going and I'd yell at him.
I fell backwards, I screamed thinking I was about to fall to my death but he caught me he had me in one arm and held onto the cliff with the other how was it possible for him to be holding both our weights with one arm?
