Here I was arriving home after my long stay at the Juvy center for the past six months. I don't know what has been happening around Chino. No one ever really kept me updated expect for Trey who came like every other day, then week, then month, and he also sent some packages but, then all of a sudden he stopped sending packages and visits. I don't know what happened. My brother Eddie visited me a total of two times. Theresa sent me a letter but I'm sure there were other important things to do besides me but I would like to know what's going on in Chino. I get out of the car I brought to Juvy. I go into my bro's house and mine. I go inside and see Eddie on the phone. I wonder who he's talking to but I walk inside and sit on our old blue couch. Eddie finally gets off the phone and notices me.
"Hey Chast your finally home."
"Yeah"
"Hey Chast I have to go to Theresa's you want to come?"
"Yes of course can we go see Ryan and Trey too."
"Umm since you've been gone lots have changed."
"Like?"
"Well Trey and Ryan got into trouble they stole a car, since Trey had drugs and a gun on him he's in jail, and Ryan is living with his lawyer and family in Newport."
"Oh would have been nice if someone sent me a letter to tell me this."
"Sorry sis, let's go."
I follow Eddie into his car and we drive off down a few roads to the liquor store where Eddie ran inside and bought some wine and some tequila. Then off to Theresa's house we went. We arrived shortly. There was Theresa one of my best friends on her porch. Theresa noticed us and came down to us.
"Hey Eddie and Chastity your out."
"Yea I know isn't it great." I responded
"Come inside you two."
We follow Theresa inside there is a skinny tall brunette in designer wear sitting on the sofa. She noticed me and shrunk back a little. I could totally squash that girl I'm small but feisty and strong. Theresa sat next to her and I sat next to Theresa and Eddie after me.
"Chastity this is Marissa I met her in Newport when I went to go to work."
"And to see Ryan." Eddie added
"Nice to meet you Marissa." I said right away
"You too Chastity."
"Chast we something to tell you." Eddie said
"What?"
"Theresa and I are getting married."
"What did you say?" I said in shock
"You heard me."
"Okay you know that there is no way I'm being my best friends sister in law."
"Chast it's a honor."
"Oh yeah it's such a honor to come back from Juvy and hear all this bull shit."
I ran out of Theresa's house and started walking home. I walked past Ryan's house and stared at it. I couldn't believe what could happen in six months. All of a sudden I saw Marissa run out to me. Oh great I sighed. A rich bitch was going to follow me and try to make everything okay. Like she even knew my birthday or how much Ryan and Trey mean to me. I waited for her anyway I didn't want to go back and tell my brother I ran off because then he would send one of his friends to find me and bring me back.
"Hey, what went down in there?" She asked
'Oh I don't know maybe you should ask Eddie." I said sarcastically
"Hey don't act like that, I came to walk with you."
"Well I don't think you should come with me."
"Why not?"
"I'm going to the jail to see Trey."
"I've gone with Ryan."
"You know Ryan?"
"Of course I'm dating him!"
"Wow last time I was here Theresa and Ryan were dating."
"Yeah small world."
"So you coming?"
"I guess so."
So we walked about three blocks to my house and got into my car. Off we drove to the jail.
"So tell me Marissa is Ryan umm you know umm." I said
"Happy?"
"Yes"
"He seems to be happy, why?"
"Well he is my best friend and I just want to know."
"I know how you feel."
"Okay rule number one nobody knows how Chastity Karlos feels!"
"A okay."
"Sorry people think they know how I feel but they haven't been in Juvy for the past six months and missed everything."
"Oh I see."
"It's just everything is like different, home just isn't home."
"Yeah like finding out your mom is sleeping with your ex boyfriend."
"Ouch that must hurt."
"That's why I ran here."
"Oh well just be careful and if I know Ryan he'll come looking for you sooner or later."
"I left him a message not to come looking for me."
"He'll figure out where you are."
"How do you know?"
"After all the times I ran off when we were young he or Trey found me."
"Eddie didn't come looking for you?"
"Nope he was the reason he always treated me like I was still eight, Trey didn't treat me like that."
"And Ryan?"
"Ryan always believed he was supposed to protect me, so that got a little annoying."
"Yeah I could see that."
We soon arrived at the jail and we walked in. The guard asked us who we were I told him I was a close friend to Trey Atwood and Marissa was a friend. He asked if he should tell Trey my name and I said no just tell him it's a close friend. The guard gave us visitor passes and called to another guard to get Trey. I knew Trey was going to die when he saw me. We walked out to the visiting place there was Trey sitting there. I ran over to the table he was at. He realized me as soon as he saw me. He always knew me by my gray sparking eyes and reddish brown hair. He jumped up and hugged me. I sat across from him and Marissa sat next to me.
"Chastity when did you how did you?" Trey asked
"I got out today and Eddie told me."
"How you've been?"
"Okay but I feel like I came out of amnesia because so much has changed."
"I'm so sorry."
"Not your fault and thanks for the packages."
"You're very welcome, so you know about Ryan."
" Yep he's in Newport and he's dating Marissa right here."
"Yeah I remember Marissa she came last Thanksgiving is Ryan."
"Oh well I didn't know."
"I've missed you so much."
"Me too."
Then a guard came to get us because visiting hours was over and to say our good byes. Trey and I said good bye and he gave me the number where Ryan was. He told me call and let him know how I was. Trey and I hugged like brother and sister. He was always my brother in my heart and will always be. The guard walked Marissa and I out. We got into my car and drove off into the Chino sunset.
