Wow five reviews for the last chapter is really great. Sorry it took so long to update, I have been having the worse case of writer's block. Think I'm over it now. Depends on what you all think of this latest chapter. Let me know if you think it's good or bad.

Chapter 31

It was Sunday afternoon and Sky was happy to have the chance to finally sleep in. The last two days had been a whirlwind ride and had drained her of every bit of energy she held in her tiny body. So much had changed for her. Her feelings for Leon were fading replaced by a furious lust for Troy, her new golden boy. She would have to thank him later for the amazing time on the dance floor. He got her high in a way she couldn't explain. He let loose a wild spirit that didn't care what people thought as long as his body was against hers.

A loud crash from the hallway stirred her from her thoughts of dirty deeds with the golden boy. She sat up with a jolt and immediately regretted her quick movement. "Owww." She yelled gripping her forehead. "No more tequila." The promise spat out through her clinched teeth. Throwing the covers to the side, she inched her way out of bed. A great deal of commotion was coming from the hallway and she was going to put an end to it fast.

"What the hell is up with all the noise?" Sky yelled as she jerked the door open. She glared down at the pair of bodies entangled in a struggle. At once she recognized the head of mussed hair of the body on top. "Vince, I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't keep it down so I can sleep."

"You'll have to wait until I kick pretty boy's ass right here." Vince snarled.

Sky looked down and saw Leon wrestling with the weight of Vince on top of him. She felt somewhat sorry for him and decided to lend a helping hand. She took the lobes of Vince's ears in both hands and yanked back hard pulling his body off of Leon.

Leon wiggled away from Vince and dusted himself off, "Thanks."

"I didn't do it for you asshole. I want some peace and quiet." With that Sky walked around him and into the bathroom. She closed the door with a slam. Once inside she leaned against the door and tried to keep the tears at bay. Just the sight of Leon made her ache inside.

Everyone gathered around the picnic table. Sky was forced to sit near Leon. Her icy gaze shot through him. With each breath she took her anger towards him grew. Letty sensed the tension and tried to draw Sky's attention. "Hey girl. How ya feeling?"

"Better. My head has finally stopped pounding." Sky said with a sigh.

Leon laughed loudly, "Can't handle you alcohol?"

"I can handle it just fine thank you very much." Sky shot back at him.

"Ha ha. Not from what I seen last night."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Instant slut, just add alcohol." He quipped.

"Oh hold up. You're calling me a slut. You got a lot of nerve after what you did at the party Friday night. Seems like the only slut sitting at this table is you."

"Enough." Dom growled from the head of the table. "Everyone needs to shut the hell up."

Sky grabbed a beer from the center of the table and tilted it back drinking fast. A smug laugh escaped Leon's lips, "Starting early? Who's bed you gonna end up in tonight?"

"It won't be yours so don't worry about it." Sky spilled out before downing the rest of the beer. She took a deep breath. It was taking everything she had not to get up and punch him.

"My bed won't be cold without you in it."

"Yeah that's right cause you can't keep you dick in your pants. I'm sure you'll have some other disease ridden ho in there after the next race."

"What ya jealous?" He sat back in his chair and crossed his arms.

"Nothing to be jealous of. As if you didn't notice you're just as easily replaced."

Leon's smile faded, "Is that so?"

"What does it piss you off to know that you're not the only guy I've been with?"

"Damn girl you were used when I got you so it don't mean a thing who you sleep with."

A cold shiver ran down her spine as his words cut through her. Her mind flashed back to the night her father found her alone in the kitchen.

She was barely thirteen at the time and had begun to develop. Her father stared at her with a strange look in his eyes. He had been on one of his usual drunken binges. His body flew at hers trapping her against the sink. His hands tore at her clothes. Sky fought him as hard as she could. Tears flowing, her screams echoed through the house. The more she fought the harder his fists pounded into her face and body. She was forced to the floor pleading for him to stop. He put his mouth to hers. She saw once last chance to get away. Sinking her teeth into his lip, she held on until the blood flowed. He backed away from he slightly. Angrily, her knee connected with his groin and she was able to run out of the house. Her paced did not slow until she was across the street and into Leon's mom's arms.

The touch of Jesse's hand on her arm brought her back to the present, "Sky are you ok?"

She realized her whole body was shaking and her face was wet with fresh tears. "No." Sky ran from the table and locked her self in her room. She curled into the fetal position and drowned in her own tears.

They all watched her run from the table. When she was out of sight Vince turned his anger towards Leon, "We've been friends for a lot of years and you're like a brother to me. I've overlooked a lot of shit that you've pulled since she came back. Out of respect for her I've not pounded your face in, but hear me now. If you ever make her cry again I'll gut you. I swear I will gut you."

The team stared in disbelief as Vince grabbed his steak knife and stuck it between Leon's thumb and index finger. His eyes full of rage he bent down and whispered something in Leon's ear and then walked away.

The sound of her cell phone stirred her from an uneasy sleep. "Hello?" She said in a soft voice.

"Well angel don't you sound sexy?" The deep voice purred in her ear.

"Not now I'm not in the mood for jokes. Besides that's gross Raz."

"You didn't think my lines were too gross Friday night. If I remember correctly, you tried to have your way with me." His laugh was loud.

"I was under the influence of vodka. It don't count." She countered back.

"It wasn't just the alcohol sweetheart. You want me and you know it."

"Did you just call to aggravate me cause I'm really having a shitty day?"

"Not really. We got a job tonight. I just got the call."

"Damn. Like I don't have enough shit going on. This is serious bad timing man. I'm just not in the mood to pull off some big ass job for Simon."

"Girl I know what you mean, but I don't think we have a choice. If we don't show up he'll find us and you know how that will end."

"Yeah I know. What time ya picking me up?" Sky said with clear annoyance in her voice.

"About 10 minutes from now. I'll pick you up at the corner."

"See ya then. Bye bye." Sky hung up the phone and moved her body off the floor. She changed her clothes and headed out her bedroom door. She got close to the steps and saw that the whole team was still awake watching a movie. "Shit." She headed back to her room and climbed down from her window.
