"Your what?" she exclaimed, mouth dropping open in pure shock.

"My brother, Damon. Remember, I was telling you about him," she reminded her, letting go of Damon's arm. He looked just as shocked.

"You mean this is Dom's little sister?" he asked, pointing at Serena.

"You gotta problem?" Serena asked, folding her arms over her chest.

"No I-It's just that," he stumbled on the words, looking her over and over again. "I-I didn't expect you to be her. I thought you'd be-" he paused trying to find the word.

"You mean you thought I'd be a sissy prissy girl who plays with dolls and wears dresses," she said, anger boiling.

"Yeah," he nodded.

Serena's anger bubbled over and she lunged at him. Chaz grabbed her around the waist pulling her back and stopping her from doing any serious damage. "Hey," he told her, holding her back. "Knock it off."

"Oh I'll knock it off al right, HIS HEAD!" She shouted and fought against Chaz. He was losing his grip on her, finally Vince helped him.

"Hey, Serena. Cool it, aight. He ain't worth the trouble," he told her calmly.

"He ain't worth shit," she muttered calming down. Chaz kept his grip on her for Damon's sake.

Vince eyed Damon. "I'd apologize if I were you. I saved your ass this time, but no one calls her a prissy and lives."

"I didn't mean to offend you," he started.

"Yeah, whatever. I'm goin outside to get some air," she said, breaking loose of Chaz's grasp and storming outside the door. Carissa was going to go after her but Vince stopped her.

"Let her go, Pop Girl," he said, smiling.

"Who you callin a Pop Girl?" she questioned raising an eyebrow.

Chaz rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch eyeing Crimson, she glanced at him and turned away. Chaz decided to take a chance and talk to her. He stood and walked over to her.

"What are you doing back here?" he whispered, looking away from her.

"We thought it'd be safe now. Tran's dead, nothing to worry bout," she shrugged, watching Vince bicker.

"There's plenty to worry about, Crimson. Just cause he's gone doesn't mean everything will be fine again," he told her.

"Will Asher be safe here then?" she asked, looking him dead in the eye.

He thought about it for a moment, "Yeah, it's over."

She nodded looking down at the ground, "Good as long as my brother and Asher are safe here, that's all I care about."

He tilted her head up, "You are not safe here."

"I don't care as long as they are Chaz," she turned her face away. "Why don't you talk with Asher or Damon, you have a lot of catching up to do?"

He nodded, getting the hint to stop talking about her problems. He looked around and saw Asher in a corner, Violet next to him. Talking with Leon and Summer, Ebony sat a few feet away, staring at the floor. He turned toward the area of the door and saw Damon sneak out front he smiled at Crimson and gave her a small nudge. "I think Damon has catching to do of his own."


Serena took a deep breath and let it out slowly, counting to ten slowly. Her anger started to cool down. Who did he think he was? Thinking she played with dolls and wore pretty little dresses. God, it made her sick when people thought that shit. Not all girls liked dolls and dresses. Some actually liked cars and pants. He pushed her button the wrong way. He was lucky Vince and Chaz held her back or she'd have gone ballistic. She took another drink of her wine cooler and closed her eyes, freeing her mind.

She heard the screen door open and shut and heard footsteps coming her way. Serena opened her eyes and turned her head. "Oh Holy hell," she muttered as Damon came her way.

"I know I'm probably the last person you want to see at he moment," he told her, coming closer.

"Then why did you come out here?" she asked looking at him.

"I wanted to apologize for what I said. I mean, I knew Dom was a good racer and I had seen Mia at the store so I assumed you were like her. But you took after your brother, your proved that to me tonight," he said with a smile. "You are amazing at driving cars and I'm serious. I never would have bet my pink slip if I knew you were that good."

Serena smiled despite herself. "You weren't too bad yourself, Damon."

"So am I forgiven?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and giving an innocent smile.

She giggled, "Yes, you're forgiven. Just don't piss me off again."

"No worries 'bout that. Let's start off fresh," he held out his hand. "I'm Damon Calloway."

"I'm Serena Toretto," she said shaking his hand.

"So how old are you?" he asked, taking a seat on her car next to her.

"Sixteen going on seventeen," she told him, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "You?"

"I'm the baby too. I'm seventeen going on eighteen," he told her sighing and looking up at the stars and moon.

"What happened to your parents?" she asked him leaning back on her hands.

"They were killed in a boating accident when I was six. My sister took over then. She was sixteen,' he told her.

"I'm sorry to hear that," she said solemnly. She knew how that was.

"How bout you?"

"My dad was killed during a race and my mom died a year later. I was ten, Mia was twelve, and Dom was sixteen. Vince and Leon ended up taking care of us for awhile after that because my brother nearly killed the man who's fault it was our dad died."

"Yikes," he hissed and looked back at the stars.

"You seem fascinated by them," she told him, smiling.

"What?"

"The stars."

"I love it. It's beautiful and interesting if you think about it. They've been there for billions of years and there's more than anyone can count, its endless," he told her. He sat up and removed his jacket, showing her his tattoo's. He had a sun on his upper arm with a quarter moon inside of it. She noticed he had some muscle. She touched his tattoo and noticed another one on his other arm. A circle that looked crossed out. She frowned, she'd seen that before, then she noticed the scar on his neck. It was faint, but there. Right next to his collarbone. She touched it gently.

"What happened?" Serena questioned.

Damon shook his head, "Nothing. It happened when I was fifteen."

She nodded. Some things were hard to talk about. She knew how that was. She didn't exactly like talking about her ex-boyfriend, or the crash or Jesse for that matter. She shivered remembering watching Jesse die.

He frowned, "Are you cold?" he gave her his jacket.

"No, it's just that I was thinking of something's," her hand unknowingly touched the scars on her upper arm. Damon noticed and stared at them.

"What happened?" he asked, touching them gently, tracing them with the tips of his fingers.

"Like you, I don't want to discuss them either," she shook her head.

Damon nodded, still tracing them. He looked at her and she met his gaze staring into his eyes. She smiled faintly, recognizing the feeling. She hated to admit it, but she was falling in love with him despite her attempts not too. Serena was too scared to try again. She was afraid he'd break her heart like Jaime did. But the feeling consumed her thoughts as he leaned in to kiss her.

The screen door burst open, knocking them out of the moment, and an angry Asher followed by Ebony and Violet stormed out of the house, waiting for Crimson. Other people came out too and Serena spotted Chaz and Carissa. Asher said something to Chaz and Chaz flipped him off not bothering to look back.

Serena followed by Damon went over to him. Serena noticed his lip was bleeding and a bruise was forming by his eye. "Chaz what the hell happened?"

"I talked to an old friend and he hasn't changed for shit. He still the same stubborn son of a bitch he was years ago," Chaz said, spitting out blood. He looked at Damon and shook his head. "I don't know how you put up with that."

"Years of practice, Chaz," Damon told him.

"You guys know each other?" Carissa asked, looking at her boyfriend then at Damon.

"Yeah, we were friends as kids. It's bee awhile since we talked," Damon told her. "I'm Damon Calloway," he said shaking her hand.

"Carissa Mederius, I've been Chaz's girl for three years now. I knew Violet and Asher a bit, but I never knew you."

"I stayed hidden," he looked at Chaz. "You got a cute girl, colorful but cute."

She laughed, "I like color."

"So I noticed," he nodded, gesturing at her hair.

"We better get going, before Chaz does anything more to make me look bad," she said. "Nice meeting you." She bent over to whisper to Serena. "Chaz wants to talk to you later. And he's a hottie, I'd keep him if I were you."

"I heard that," Chaz told her, sucking the blood off his lip.

She laughed, "I'll talk to you later girl."

Serena waved bye to her friends and looked at the patio where Crimson and Vince talked. "I guess I'll talk to you later."

Damon nodded, "Maybe tomorrow if you're not doing anything. We can talk then."

"Yeah, I don't have homework, so that'd work."

"You a senior?"

"Uh-huh," she nodded. "I started early in school. I don't have school until nine on Monday."

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Since tomorrow is Sunday anyways."

She nodded, "Sounds good to me, Damon."

"Good-night, Serena," he called out walking away with his family.

"Night Damon," she whispered walking up to the porch. Her heart had been taken by him and she had a good feeling about Damon Calloway. She grinned, her fortune had come true after all.
