Chapter Six

"I'm All About You" will be used in chapter 7 or 8 NOT this chapter or chapter 5, sorry I said wrong. It will have to do with Adam.

When Kristin woke up, Scott was already dressed. "Hey, sleepy-head!" He said. Kristin smiled a little. "Hey." She said. "Well, get dressed. Dad is making breakfast then leaving. Elaine's already gone, thank God. We're going to go check out some friends of mine in the empty lot. Then we'll do whatever you want, okay?" He asked. "Sure." She muttered, she was still dead-tired. "Well, get dressed. I'll be downstairs." He said. "Scott?" "Yea?" "Did she..." "I heard the door open. Thank God you were sleeping, I thought she was gonna hit you. She was just coming to see if you were here. I bet if she wasn't..." "Oh. Sorry."



Scott walked downstairs and Kristin quickly changed into jeans and a light sweat shirt that sat "Spoiled" on it. How she wished it was true. She ran downstairs and was greeted by Martin. "Hey, Kristin!" He said and hugged her. "Hey, Uncle Martin." She said. Breakfast was sausage, eggs, and toast. "So is it good?" Martin asked. "Yeah, thanks." She said. "Well, I better go. Would you two mind doing the dishes?" "Nope." They both answered. "Okay. Scott, if you'll go anywhere call me. Elaine should be home around 6, I'll be home around 9, I work late. Don't come home after 8, Scott, and please don't do anything stupid..." He warned and left.

They did the dishes and got in Scott's car. "So this is YOUR car?" She asked. "Yeah. Amazing what you can get when you behave for a few days. My dad was so proud he bought me a car." Scott explained. It was a skyblue convertible. "Turn it to 95.5 (A/N: This is an Atlanta rap/pop station)" Scott said and she did and "THe Way I Am" by Eminem was on. "I hate when they play old songs, but at least this one is decent, right?" Scott asked.

The ride was silent except for "The Way I Am", "Drowning" by the Backstreet Boys, "Leave It Up To Me" by Aaron Carter and "Thank You" by Lil' Bow Wow.

Finally they drove up to an empty lot where about 20 kids around Scott's age were. Most were smoking or drinking. "You do this stuff?" She demanded. She had drinkers, they reminded her of her father. "I use to." "How could you?" "Kristin...let's not get into this right now, okay? Listen...if someone offers anything, even a cigeratte or even just a little drink, you BETTER say no, I'm not playing with you. You understand?" "Yeah." "Good. Stay by me, okay?" She nodded, but grew a little scared. Why was he giving her all these warnings???

They got out of the car and a few kids ran up to them, obviously Scott's friends because he hugged the girls and exchanged high fives with the guys. "Where ya been, man?" "A school in Canada." "Oh. Boot camp?" "Naw." "Oh. Want one?" He asked, holding a joint out to Scott. "No." He immidiately responded. "Why? Just because you have a kid?" "No. She's my cousin. It's stupid to do drugs." "Whatever, man. Don't go around Quint, man. He's Pissed at you." "Why? I haven't been here for 6 months." "Because last time you were here Kara dumped him because she liked you, then you didn't go out with her." "I didn't like her!" Scott defended himself. "Whatever. I'm just saying stay away-uh-oh..." The guy said motioning to behind him. Scott rolled his eyes. "Hey, Quint," He said and turned around, along with Kristin. "Hello, SCotty-boy," the brown-haired talled tanned boy sneered. "What do ya want?" Scott demanded. When he didn't answer Scott said whatever and grabbed Kristin's hand and pulled her over to where all his friends were but someone grabbed his shoulder and whirled him around. "Trying to protect your little cousin?" "Shut the fuck up, Q-Tip," He called the skinny kid. QUint lurched at Scott and punched him in the nose. Scott shoved Kristin behind them to protect her but then proceeds to punch Quint in the stomach as hard as possible. Quint doubled over but still tried to punch Scott-where the sun don't shine- but Scott kicked him. He stopped when he heard a police car. He turned around to make sure Kristin was still there and tried to make it to the car but was stopped by a police officer. "Sorry, kid. You're coming with us." He said. Kristin looked up at Scott. He shrugged. "Gotta bring the kid." Scott said, motioning to Kristin. "Well, we got to take you the station to file a report. Since you didn't start it you won't get charged but gotta file a report. Then we'll take you to you 2 dad's. Okay?" Scott was about to say she wasn't his sister but looked at the happiness in Kristin's eyes. "Do I have a choice?"



Next chapter: Martin yells at Scott...Kristin has an intense nightmare that makes her run...
