Chapter Eighteen
My mom had to work late; she had to help trailer some horses to the track, so it was just me and Erica. I was pouring the Oodles of Noodles into two bowls when Colby comes in. "Just the ladies I wanted to see!" he said shutting the door behind him, rather slamming it. "Hey Colby!" I called, putting the pot back on the stove top and carrying my bowl to the table. He took a deep whiff of the soup, draping his arm around Erica's shoulder. "Anymore left?" he asked, walking over to the stove. "Yea…" Erica said quietly taking her bowl before he could.
After serving himself a bowl of soup, Colby took a seat at the other end of the table, and Erica got up quickly to go to the bathroom. As I heard the bathroom door shut I turned to him quickly. "When where you going to tell us about the rumble?" I asked quickly. He looked up startled.
"Who told you?"
"Shepard."
"You still hanging out with him!"
"Yea… he's easy to talk to." Colby grunted and stared at me hard. "I expect you want to fight in it too?" he said his gaze falling back to his bowl. I nodded my head, "Yea. Mel will be fighting too." I added quickly. "You talked to her?" he asked. "No…not yet."
"Talked to who?" Erica said coming back into the kitchen. Me and Colby exchanged glances, "Erica you wanting to fight in the rumble tomorrow night too?" he asked. I almost jumped out of my chair; I didn't want her to know… I was afraid she'd get hurt. She looked just as startled as he did when I told him I knew. "She's part of the gang she should know, she'd find out from Donny and Mickey in the long run just like you found out about Joe." he said solemnly shrugging his shoulders. I sighed softly, I couldn't say finding out that Joe was leaving me without a word was a pleasant thing to find out but I could understand where he was coming from. I mean I had enough stuff going on and Joe didn't want me to be worrying about him. "I'll fight if everybody else is." she said sitting back down. "Okay… it's tomorrow night." Colby said softly.
"They speed up while I was gone?" Erica asked, looking as if she lost her appetite. "Yea, your sister over there is one of the main reasons." Colby said. I paused looking at him with disbelief.
"What she do?"
"Yea what did I do?"
Erica and I questioned.
"That girl… Carey… Kara… Sarah something like that… the one you beat up. Well her older brother just happens to be up there in the Socs 'alpha pack', and then she and Joe fought with these other two Socs, they where high in ranking too." I bite my bottom lip and Erica stared at me. "You beat up Kara!" she said. "Yea… she was walking down street on the first night you where out and I don't know I was a bit messed up in the mind. I guess I thought she was the reason you where jumped." She giggled softly, "What made you stop?" she asked. "Tim Shepard." I said quietly. She looked at me with doubt and I told her just about everything and Colby left the table with disgust, blaring the radio so he wouldn't here me.
It was about twelve thirty and all three of us where just sitting on the sofa watching some show, when there was a knock on the door. We all looked at each other and sighing heavily Erica got up to get it. "How's Killer doing?" Chris asked as he walked into the room with Erica in front of him. "He's just over there… he is fine!" Erica said going over to the small tank where a flashy red Beta was kept. I exchanged looks with Colby. 'She likes him.' I mouthed while both their backs where turned. He nodded his head and laughed softly. "What made you come over on this fine night?" Colby asked sarcastically propping his feet up on the coffee table. "Seeing if you guys wanted to go to the party at Miller's place." Chris said plopping down in between me and Cole. "That party's tonight!" Cole said jolting up. Chris chuckled, "Sure is." he said. "I'm going!" I called jumping up, standing on top of the sofa looking down on everybody. That would probably be the only time I was taller then all of them, since I've been standing at 5'5 for the past year or so.
Long time no see! Yea I have an excuse, my computer was down. We had to delete everything which meant all my storys are gone, all the chapters that I had ready to load for this story are gone... everything is gone. I hate viruses and if somebody puts on one my computer again and I loose all my stories I will go even more crazier... So this is the first day back on the interenet for me! And well this was one chapter I had loaded on ready to go, no idea why it wasn't loaded already but at least I got some where to start, even though it probably won't be as good as I had already typed.
