chance [chanss]- an opportunity or a set of circumstances that makes it possible for something to happen. a gamble or other act involving uncertainty or risk.

They say that everyone deserves a second chance. But what if they didn't deserve it in the first place?


"The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least one of us is right."

-Anon.

Almost a week had passed since the night at Billy's house. Josie begged Trapper to let her stay by herself or ask Joe or Bodie to come to their house to baby-sit her. He wondered what had happened at the house with Billy but never asked. He was too preoccupied with his secret relationship with Holly to try to pry. Bodie and Joe also kept their mouths shut. Both men had noticed a drastic change in Josie and Billy and they knew something happened that night. They did not know what happened but something went down. They just were not going to risk being slapped or hit if they asked either party. Josie kept to herself or went out with Kenzie when she had the chance, which was when she told the guys that she needed some air. She worked her ass off not to think about him and to ignore him. Billy also pulled way. He was always in a different world when they were at the bar and he stayed quite when he was working. He did not admit it to anyone but he was thinking about Josie. The same questions floated around in his head all the time.

Why had she changed so much? Why was she putting off a tough girl front? What happened in California?

He knew something went down but he did not know and he did not want everyone else to know that he was cared. That would be his second strike. The first being the admitting that he did care. He just had to be really, careful not to get that third strike and loose it all.

"So how was the night last night?" Bodie asked as he sat next to Billy at the bar. It was midday and it was almost empty.

"It was good." Billy answered shortly. Bodie nodded and sipped his beer. "Did you get someone to cover your corner tonight?" he asked. The day after the incident with him and Josie, Jamie's brother was killed and he had to go out of town. That and the fact that Joe and Bodie could not work at the same time because of their babysitting duties, put a real damper on Billy's schedule.

"Yeah, Dog said he's pull a double if he got a little freebie." Bodie told him and quickly held up his hand. "I'll pay for his freebie." He added. Billy was not one to give our anything free so Bodie had to step up to this one.

"No, I'll get it. He's doing a good job." Billy shook his head and sipped his beer. Bodie stared at his friend.

"I'm going to risk my head being knocked off." he declared and took Billy's beer from his hand. "What happened?"

"What do you mean?" Billy asked. He was not stupid though. He knew what Bodie, and everyone for that matter, wanted to know. They wanted to know what went down at his house but he was not too sure about it himself.

"What happened between you and Josie that night? Both of you are acting weird. She stopped flirting and coming around you and you stopped complaining about things." Bodie sighed and pointed to Billy's beer. "I just took your beer and I didn't get hit. Plus, you just told me that Dog could have a freebie. You're..." he paused and looked at his friend painfully. "You're being nice."

"Isn't that what everyone wants?" Billy retorted as he picked at the bar. "Everyone bitches at how rude and mean I am but when I do something nice and stop yelling at everyone, they think I'm loosing my mind." he told Bodie. His voice rose with every word and Bodie smirked. "What do I need to do to please you fuck ups? Huh? Really, tell me because I'm having a hard time figuring it out by myself." Billy's fist slammed on the bar and Bodie bit his lips.

"What went down that night?" he asked again and Billy sighed.

"She was asleep when I got home and I took her to my room. I was getting undressed hen she woke up." he started to explain and Bodie's eyes widened. "I did not sleep with her," he added in and Bodie nodded. "She was different though. She looked so vulnerable and she practically begged me to let her get close to me. Thing is, she did not mean it in a sexual way. This was her softer side."

"Isn't that what you wanted?" Bodie questioned. "The hint of the old Josie. The strong, confident but mature girl instead of the one flaunting herself?" he asked.

"Yeah." Billy nodded.

"So what happened?" Bodie asked and Billy looked over at him with a pained expression.

"I told her no. I told her we could not because of her brother and I told her that she was too good for me. I'm not good for her. I'm dangerous." Billy ranted and his words slowly faded into a whisper. Bodie was shocked at this side of Billy.

"You think you're not good enough. You can't be sure." Bodie corrected and Billy scoffed.

"I'm Billy Darley. I'm no good for anyone," he declared and Bodie shook his head.

"You're good for somebody and she's right under your nose but you won't take it." Bodie shook his head angrily.

"Trapper-"

"Fuck, Trapper!" Bodie yelled. "He won't like any guy that tried to get with her. He is her brother and he has been without her for years. He is in denial and wants to make up for lost time. Besides, you are his best friend. He trusts you and he should know you won't hurt her or let anyone else hurt her."

"Being with me could get her killed or hurt." Billy shouted back and rubbed his hands over his head repeatedly. "It's too dangerous for me to get close to anyone, Bodie. You know this. When we chose this lifestyle, we gave up that kind of life." Bodie slammed his beer down and the bottom shattered from the pressure.

"You didn't choose this life, Billy," he shouted. "It was all you grew up with. I chose this life. I chose to quit school and do this. This was all you ever had a chance to do because of Bones' fat ass. You did not choose this." Billy was silent for a moment and when he spoke again, his voice was oddly soft.

"That may be true but it doesn't make it any less dangerous for her or me. My lifestyle is not one for steady relationships or families. I may not have chosen this life but I choose to pass up the family option or anything that has someone that could get hurt." Billy told him and Bodie sighed.

"She just wants a chance," he said and Billy sighed this time. "All she wants is a chance. She's not stupid, she knows what you do and she knows the risks."

"So do I and I'm not going to take them." Billy told him forcibly. Bodie nodded his head and resigned.

"So what are you going to do?" he asked. "If you're not going to take her up on her advances and try, what are you going to do?" Billy stared at his beer and shook his head very slowly.

"I don't know," he answered. "I guess I'll just have to take it day by day."

"It's going to be hard, ya know? I know you want her." Bodie smirked and Billy glared at him.

"Yes, I know that and thanks for stating the obvious." he barked and was quiet again. "I'll deal with it. I have to." Bodie watch as he drained his beer, threw down a twenty and walked out of the bar.

"What's been up his ass?" Sammy asked and held up a hand. "More like what hasn't been up his ass? He's acting funny." Bodie chuckled and finished off the rest of his beer.

"Billy boy is having the fight of his life," he announced and Sammy frowned.

"With who?" he asked. Bodie slapped down a ten on the bar and smirked at the longhaired bar tended.

"Himself."


joke [jōk]- a story, anecdote, or wordplay that is intended to amuse.

Everyone has some kind of sense of humor. Some have dirty humor, some have witty humor and some are dry and sarcastic. However, there are a few that have the not so humorous sense of humor. They are the killjoys.


"Never risk a joke with someone who is unable to comprehend it."

-Anon.

"Oh my God!" Josie squealed and Kenzie giggled as she fell over onto the couch. "That was hilarious!" she squealed again and leaned over on Kenzie's toppled body.

"I can't breath!" Kenzie choked out and wiped at her face with her sleeve. Both wide, teary eyes were on the television.

You ever hear girls say that?

"I'm not religious but I'm spiritual"

I like to reply with, "I'm not honest, but you're interesting!"

The girls laughed again and Josie held her stomach.

"He's too much." she coughed out and Kenzie nodded her head. They had been over at Kenzie's apartment for almost two hours watching Comedy Central and haven't stopped laughing since they started.

I hate you Google, you've caused a lot of problems in my relationship. I share a computer with my girlfriend and she would look up anything.

"I'm going to look up apples today." She just hits 'A' and it's "Asian ass porn" instantly.

Google is like, "I'll take it from here; I know exactly what you're looking up."

Well, every time you hit 'A' it's "Asian ass porn."

Google! All I ask is that you let her type three letters before you jump to such a bold conclusion.

"He's so blunt and honest but funny at the same time. He's great." Josie laughed and wiped her eyes. Kenzie sat back up and started rubbing her cheeks.

"Who is this again?" she asked and Josie grabbed the remote. She hit info and smiled.

"Daniel Tosh." she read and Kenzie nodded.

"I'll definitely have to remember him. He's hilarious." she said and looked over at Josie. "So like, when is your guy friend from San D coming out?" she asked.

Josie smiled and curled her legs to her chest. "He should be here tonight. I'm excited."

"Have you told your brother yet?" Kenzie asked and Josie grimaced. "Uh oh."

"Big uh oh." Josie grumbled and started to pinch the fuzz off her socks. "I keep forgetting but I don't think he'll have a problem with it." Kenzie raised a brow at her.

"Does he know Tim?" she asked and Josie covered her face and kept quiet "I'll take that as a no. Okay, have you told your brother about Tim?"

More silence.

"He's going to freak," she sang and Josie picked her head up to glare the blonde.

"He won't. He'll just be annoyed that I didn't tell him I was having a visitor." Josie protested but Kenzie just smirked. "You think maybe I should go tell him?" she asked, sounding worried.

"Uh, yeah." Kenzie nodded. Josie scrunched her nose up and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well, get the good shit out." she sighed and Kenzie smirked. "What? I need to be prepared." Kenzie just chuckled as she reached under the table and grabbed a tiny silver box with the letter K etched into it. She popped the top off and grabbed the tiny baggie that was filled with cocaine.

"Does he know you do this?" she asked as she poured it on a tiny mirror and started cutting it up with a tiny razor blade. Josie made a very un-lady like scoffing sound and leaned forward as Kenzie worked.

"Hell to the no." she answered and grabbed a straw from the box. "He'd kill me. I think he'd rather me smoke pot than do this shit." Kenzie chuckled.

"But pot is for babies!" she declared and pushed the mirror over to Josie, who laughed aloud. "You first. You might need it." she smirked and Josie rolled her eyes as she bent down. Josie took her two lines and pushed the mirror back over to Kenzie who took the rest. Josie cleaned up and put the box away while Kenzie put her shoes on and grabbed the remote. She was about to turn the television off when the next joke caught her attention.

I think we should legalize marijuana in this country, so potheads have nothing to talk about ever again.

You are so annoying, nobody ever sees me taking this angle, but I do...with force.

Grow up and do coke like an adult!

Both girls fell back onto the couch laughing and after another five minutes of crying and giggles, they were on their way to Trapper's apartment. Josie sat quietly in the passenger's seat of Kenzie's Honda Civic and stared out the window. She prayed that Kenzie was wrong and that her brother would be okay with Tim staying a few days or for however long he was going to be here. She desperately wanted to see Tim. She loved Kenzie and they were getting along famously but she was no Tim. Tim was the one she could run to and get held when she needed. Tim knew all of her secrets and she knew all of his. He was her other half and without him she couldn't live properly.

"Hey." Kenzie called. Josie snapped out of her trance and looked at an amused Kenzie. "We're here," she announced and Josie groaned.

"Here goes nothing."


guilt [gilt]- an awareness of having done wrong or committed a crime, accompanied by feelings of shame and regret.

Innocent until proven guilty, right?


"It is cruelty to the innocent not to punish the guilty"

-Anon.

"Oh God." she moaned and raked her blood red painted nails down the sides of his back. His head lolled back and he let out a guttural groan. His hands gripped her hips as he thrust into her mercilessly.

"Fuck, Holly." he groaned again when she started to clench around him. He looked down at her as watched, satisfied, as her mouth dropped open and let out a long scream as she hit her peak.

"God, Brian!" she moaned repeatedly as she rode out her high. Trapper thrust a few more times until he released and fell, as gently as he could, on top of her. He buried his face in her chest and she massaged his sides.

"I think you will be the death of me." Trapper panted and lifted his head up.

"You think?" Holly teased and he playfully glared at her. She laughed and pulled her face down to kiss him. As she was going to pull away, he deepened it. Her arms snaked around his neck and pulled him down on her again. She felt him harden again and giggled into his mouth. He bit her lip as he pulled away and looked around.

"I think we might wanna clean up." he sighed. Holly picked her head up and looked at the living room. Their clothes were scattered around the floor and her bra was hanging off the lamp.

"That's ironic." she chuckled and slowly pushed Trapper off her. "Next time we make it to your bedroom, okay?" she smirked and he shrugged his shoulders. He grabbed his boxers and slipped them on as Holly wrapped the couch's throw around her body and started to look for all of her clothes.

The door of the apartment swung open and revealed Trapper cursed aloud.

"Go the fuck away!" he yelled. Josie stepped into view and Trapper's jaw dropped. Josie stared at him horrified. Did he really just yell at her?

"What the fu-" her voice faltered as she scanned the room. Her eyes landed on the half naked red head and that was slowly pulling her bra off the lampshade. Holly saw Josie's stare, yanked the bra the rest of the way off, and shoved it under the blanket.

Trapper was ashamed that he yelled at his little sister. Holly was embarrassed. But Josie, she was fuming.

She removed her gaze from Holly and looked at her brother pointedly. "Pay her and kick her out." she seethed. Trapper's eyes bulged out of his head and Holly blushed. Now she was ashamed.

"Josie, she's no uh-this isn't work," he stammered and Holly nodded her head in agreement. Josie's face was void of any emotion as she looked back and forth between her brother and Holly.

Trapper grimaced when a small, sarcastic smirk grew on her face. He knew this look. This was the look that she had when she and Billy used to go at it all those years ago. He knew how her mind worked. She would pause to process the situation and then it was like alight bulb that turned on. Then it was all over for whoever was at her mercy.

And today, it was he and Holly.

"Oh, so you've upgraded from a regular gang banger who sleeps with random whore to one that has is own personal one?" she asked and Holly looked horrified. "Does she come with any toys? Oh, did she get raise?" she smiled enthusiastically and before she knew it Trapper had grabbed her by the arm and was in her face.

"I don't know what the fuck your problem is but you better fix it pronto, Josephine," he growled. If he weren't so angry, he would be upset for acting this way and seeing her scared but eh was too pissed off. "Now fucking apologize to her." he demanded and jerked her forward se she was facing Holly. However, Josie was not looking at Holly. Her wide, teary eyes were on her brother's red and hard face.

It took her a few minutes to regain the little control that she had and, though she wanted her next statement to come out harsh, it was a mere whimper. "I'm insulted that you'd ask me to lower myself that way. That whore doesn't deserve my apology."

Trapper's nostrils flared and his grip tightened. Tears sprung to Josie's eyes again and she bit her lip as he drug her to the front door. He ripped it open and shoved her outside, shutting the door behind them both. He pushed her away from him and she stumbled into the light pole.

"What the fuck?" he shouted at her and she didn't stop the tears falling from her face. Her breathing was heavy and she saw that Kenzie had opened the passenger door. "What the hell? Why did you say that?' he yelled as she started to walk away. "Where the fuck do you think your going?" he exclaimed and grabbed her arm again. She yelped when he jerked her back to him and was about to hit him when someone grabbed her shoulders. She looked up to see the angry glare of Bodie holding her to his chest.

"Go back inside." he demanded and Trapper shook his head. Joe came up behind him and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Go or we'll call Billy." he threatened. He closed his eyes and rolled his head around before opening them again and looking at Josie. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were stained with tears.

Now he felt bad.

"Josie, I'm sorry." he whispered and tried to walk forward but she moved behind Bodie. A glare was now on her pitiful looking face.

"Don't fucking speak to me!" she shouted and he flinched. "Go back to your whore. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I have Billy and his boys looking after me, remember? That leaves you all the time for yourself." her voice cracked at the end and guilt spread over Trapper's face.

With that, she turned around and ran to Kenzie's awaiting car. The three men watched as the girls sped out of the parking lot.

Trapper leaned against the wall and looked at the ground. "Anyone going to go after her?" he asked softly.

"No." Bodie answered. "She needs time alone." Trapper shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"What was that about?" Joe asked.

"She caught me with Holly and she fucking freaked out. She started bashing Holly and calling her all sorts of things. I have never seen her that mean and angry. Not even with Billy when we were younger and they fought all the damn time." Bodie and Joe smirked.

"Did you get her point though?" Bodie asked and Trapper groaned.

"Have I really been that absent?" he asked, afraid of the answer.

"Yeah." Joe nodded. "When you haven't been working you've been sleeping or with Holly. Every time you go to the bar, Josie is with me and you're with Holly."

"You asked Billy and us to look out for her when it should be you doing that. I understand that you wanted help but so far, we have been doing the work. You won't even let her stay at her house by herself." Bodie added and Trapper sighed.

"It's dangerous," he whispered.

"We will have people around here, Trap, but she doesn't need someone with her at all times. You barely let her go with her friend there." Bodie retorted and Trapper recalled the first time that Josie told him that she had a friend. He gave her the third degree and told her she didn't need friends from this area. He was an ass but that didn't stop him telling her that she couldn't see Kenzie. Joe had convinced him to let her leave. He told Trapper it was guy friends or a girl friend. Trapper didn't like the though of Josie going to hang out with Joe and his friends all the time.

"I didn't know." Trapper groaned and Joe chuckled.

"I hope not or we'd be kicking your ass right now." he joked. Trapper rolled his eyes and stood up straight.

"What do I do now?" he asked and looked at Bodie. A small but confident smirk crossed his face.

"You let her be the adult that she is. You let he do her own thing ands top trying to over protect her. She's not stupid. She knows the difference in right or wrong, Trapper. Let her grow up." he told him.

"I just missed out on so much." he sighed and Joe patted his back.

"Yeah but hold her down. She is missing out on this part of her life because you want to keep her as a child. She's a big girl. Let her do big girl things." Joe smirked and Trapper glared at him.

"I'll pummel any guy that comes near her," he warned. Bodie and Joe shared a look and nodded.

"That is the big brother thing to do, Trapper. Keeping her locked away inside your apartment isn't." Bodie reminded him and Trapper waved his hand.

"Alright, alright. I get it. I've been an ass. I'll stop." he resigned and pointed to the wall behind him. "But I have to go to damage control now. I'll see you guys later. Let me know if anyone talks to her."

Bodie and Joe nodded as Trapper retreated inside.

"Well, that was perfect timing." Joe smirked and Bodie laughed.

"Yeah, we didn't even have to get him drunk."


What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected
