"Ok so where are we going?" Jeff asked the girl who was walking next to them. She was wearing sweat pants and now a tight t-shirt that looked really good on her. He shook his head and remembered she was 17.
"ummm are you guys hungry?" She looked back and forth between the two. She was starving. She heard a low rumble. "What was that?"
"Uhhhhh…." Matt looked around trying not to bring the attention to him. Jeff and Alexandra looked at him with knowing smiles. He raised a weak hand. "ME."
"Ok then let's go to Bojangles!" She said hands on her hips. They nodded and walked to the front of the building. There was a limo waiting. Alexandra gasped. She'd never ridden in a Limo in her entire life. Jeff opened the door for her and she blushed. She slipped inside and tried to keep herself from having a heart attack at the size and the drinks and the little tv. Matt got in next and then Jeff. They all sat on the same side and put their feet up on the cushioned seat across from them. She gave the driver directions and they were off.
"Clayton it seems like a sleepy town.." Matt commented looking out the window at the one floored houses.
"Not as sleepy as you think Matt…not..at…all." Alexandra said under her breath while looking at her dollar store wrist watch. It was about time that her father would call home and leave a message on the machine. If she was lucky he wouldn't be home until late that night and be too tired to bother with her. "Hey could I use your phone?"
"Yeah sure!" Jeff handed her the car phone and she looked at him in amazement. She'd expected a cell phone or something. Not a private line connected to a limo.
"Thanks…" She took the phone and dialed her number. Tapping her fingers on her knee she looked over at Matt who smiled back at her. She felt heat rise to her cheeks. She shook her head sending her brown locks over her shoulder. The answering machine came up and she pushed in the code. When she heard the message she smiled and hung up. "Hey guys would you like to come to my house for dinner??"
"Really?" Jeff asked and his stomach growled. He smiled sheepishly. "Are you cooking?"
"Yeah. I'm sure I can make something to feed you and Matt and your bottomless pit." She giggled and closed her hand over her mouth. She hadn't done that in a while. Matt looked at her and pulled her fingers from her mouth.
"It's alright you know." He laughed a little bit. "You can smile around us we are human."
"Oh I know it's just this day is easily becoming the best day of my life." She nodded as they pulled into the Bojangles parking lot. The chauffeur opened the door. She had no idea how wrong she was.
**~** Later that Day **~**
Alexandra gave them her address and directions. They'd gone shopping and to the little pond around the bend. They fished and skipped rocks. They even took a trip down to Smithfield and hung out at a mini carnival that was going on. She'd had the best time. She laughed she cried. They'd even gotten her to sing a little bit in the Limo. Alexandra knew that there was a possibility of her dad coming home but when he said he'd be home at 10 pm, he'd definitely be home at 10 pm. She set the table with three place settings. Grabbing a dish she put some baked Mac and Cheese on the table and added the bread basket and the bowl of chicken. She checked her appearance in the bathroom mirror. She was wearing a pair of flared jeans that Jeff bought her and a red tank top. She brushed out her long brown hair and looked at herself again.
"Ok I've got dinner and my outfit." She began putting out napkins.
"Matt I think you're going the wrong way.." Jeff said as his brother steered the rental car down a vacant street. "She said Lombard st. not Lombardi!"
"Jeff if you don't shut up!" Matt smacked his brother on the arm when they came up to a light. A broken down car sped past them. Matt held his nose. "Damn that stinks!"
"To quote Edge and Christian It reeks of heiniosity." Jeff coughed and rolled down a window. "I think we have to turn left."
Matt turned left and stopped at another light. He looked out the window and smiled at a thought of Alexandra earlier in the day when she'd tried on various ski hats. She looked adorable. He really liked her. She seemed hesitant when they first met her but throughout the day she was very cool and sweet. She was the first honest fan he'd seen in a while. Not a ring rat or a stalker but a real serious fan who was inspired by their work and attitude.
"MATT!" Jeff screamed at his brother shoving him out of his daze. He didn't hear the car horns beeping behind him. Matt put the car into gear and put his foot on the pedal. Jeff rolled his eyes wondering what the heck his brother had been thinking about. It obviously wasn't the road. They turned down Lombardi street and headed for Alexandra's house.
"Alexandra!" A deep voice bellowed from the living room. The young teen blanched and stood stationary in the kitchen with fear. Beads of sweat had already begun at her temples and soon a cool wetness spread over her body. She looked at the door just as the man walked in. Her father had come home early.
"Father.." She whispered quietly when he looked at her. His face turned a shade of red that rivaled a tomato and even a rose. Promptly walking over to her she began to back up. Her back hit the ice cold counter and the iced feeling froze her to the bone. He dropped his bag and rose his hand.
"DADDY NO!" She screamed at him before the hand came smashing down upon her left cheek sending her into another side of the counter and to the floor in a daze. She struggled to her knees and began to get up. A foot caught her in the stomach.
"Dirty little SLUT!" The voice sounded so far away to her ears. Another kick to the stomach sent a jolt of pain ripping and tearing through her body. She whimpered clutching her aching midsection in an attempt to protect herself. "Who the hell do you think you are wearing those clothes!"
"Is anything I buy you not good enough?!" He hollered down at her. He kicked her again and this time it missed the stomach entirely and went straight to the face. Blood dripped on the floor but he didn't seem to notice. "huh??? ANSWER ME DAMN IT!"
"I.." She went into a coughing fit unable to catch her breath.
"How'd ya get em!?" He gripped her by the hair and pulled her up. "Are you whoring around on a street corner you stupid Bitch!?"
"N..n..n…no.."She coughed again. A copper taste filled her mouth.
"That's it you no goof lying piece of shit!" he dragged her by the hair to the living room throwing her over the couch. She heard his belt jingle and her eyes went wide. She closed her legs and curled them in an effort to stop what was coming next.
"DADDY PLEASE NO STOP!" She let out an agonizing scream at the leather that slammed and left a sizzling sting on the flesh of her back.
"What was that?" Matt looked at Jeff. Jeff looked at Matt an odd expression written across his face. They pulled up to a stop in front of the old shack. The car that had smelt so bad was in the driveway. They noticed nothing that could be considered strange. That was of course until they heard a slap and a piercing howl. It sounded like a woman. Maybe even a girl. Matt jumped out of the car it sounded like Alexandra.
"Alex!" Matt ran as fast as his feet would carry him to the door. Jeff was right behind him.
"Oh god Just STOP!" Alexandra screamed her pants were at her ankles and her shirt was tattered on the back due to the whips to that area. He'd made a long line of bruises on her legs. On a couple spots the skin had been torn. She shrieked when he hit her upper thighs where the skin had been broken and blood trickled down.
"ALEX!" Matt ripped open the door and skidded to a halt. An old man with very tanned skin and layers of fat stood over her a large belt in his hand. Swinging left and right at her legs and back occasionally hitting her neck. A full rage melted over him just as a blow sent her over the side of the couch and on the floor. Shaking he felt more than saw his brother at his side.
"You get Alex I'll get the geezer." Jeff placed his hand on his brother's shoulder. He shoved his brother in Alex's direction. And he launched himself fists flying at the man who could only be known as Alexandra's father.
"Alex c'mon honey look at me.." Matt picked up the girl . He turned her over and a wave of nausea came over him when she looked up at him. Her nose was broken and blood was gushing out. She had a black eye and a large bruise over her left cheek. He felt down her stomach and felt cracked ribs. He winced when she coughed and moaned at the pain. He lifted her up and took her to the car.
"Matt?" She whispered when he laid her in the back seat on her side. He had a couple of towels and propped them under head head, at her back, and under her side where the ribs had been cracked and most likely broken. "My book…"
"What?" He looked at her confused. Then remembered earlier she'd told him about a book, kind of like a diary where she kept her poems and songs.
"Please??" He recalled her description of it and ran back into the house. He motioned for Jeff to hold off the man for a few more seconds. Jeff nodded.
"Oh SHIT!" Jeff groaned at the punch to the gut he received curtesy of Captain Fat Ass. He bumped into a lamp and it fell to the floor next to some electrical cords. A pitcher of water next to it and a plant fell over spilling all over the cords. There was a spark and he watched helplessly as the floor caught fire. A bone crushing punch caught him right in the jaw and he fell backwards on to the floor.
"MATTT HELPPP!!" Jeff yelled out. Matt searched through the room looking for the diary. He wracked his brain for the hiding place. He lifted up the mattress and saw the little brown book. He gripped it and stuck it under his shirt. Jeff yelled and he turned running to help out his little brother.
"JEFF!" Matt took a step back realizing the room was a blaze. The man was knocked out on the floor. Jeff was struggling to stand up. Matt gripped his brother by the arm and hauled him over his shoulder. Pulling himself to the door he watched the flames engulf the wall and then the ceiling. He stood rooted to the spot. A beam from the ceiling creaked and fell just inches from Matt's feet. He turned and ran out of the house and to the car. He could see the man getting up and stumbling out of the house. He shoved his brother into the car and climbed in himself and sped away leaving the house burning into the night. He looked at the clock.
"Damn it's only 7:30." He read. "We have a show at 9:30."
"Can we make it?" Jeff coughed.
"Yeah and we're taking Alex with us. She'll never have to go back to that house again…" Matt gripped the steering wheel tightly the emotions running through him making him spin out of control. "NEVER."
WELL was it too ya know violent?!?!?
I hope not lol…
