Chapter 11
Rae was out back setting up a table with all kinds of food. She fixed a couple vegetables on the vegetable try and then pulled her jacket tighter around her shoulders. Her father was insane for wanting to have a cook-out at the end of October. Mark came outside carrying a container that Rae knew held steaks that were on marinade. Het started barking and bouncing around in the back yard and Rae knew there was someone in the driveway,
"Be right back Dad."
She ran to the gate and saw Amanda and Shawn get out of Shawns truck, with Angel right there with them. She smiled and opened the fence,
"Hey!"
Amanda smiled and hugged her friend before walking into the yard. Shawn smirked and tussled Raes hair,
"How's it going Rae?"
"Fine Shawn."
Shawn walked over and started talking with Mark right away. Angel and Het took off into the backyard and started chasing each other. Amanda watched as Rae lit a cigarette; Mark yelled at his daughter,
"You better not throw that in the grass, girl."
Rae nodded,
"Gotcha Dad."
Amanda smirked,
"So who all is supposed to be coming today?"
Rae exhaled a drag of her cigarette,
"Heather, Steve, Jeff, John, Dave, Lita, Victoria, Sarah, and who ever the fuck else shows up."
Amanda smiled and she and Rae went inside. Rae looked at Amanda once they went inside,
"I called Randy and invited him."
Amanda smiled brightly and hugged her friend tightly,
"Thanks Rae."
Rae nodded and tried to pull from Amanda,
"Yeah, no problem."
Amanda finally released Rae and Rae took a drag off her cigarette,
"I know you two don't get to see each other a lot outside of school."
Amanda nodded and looked toward the door,
"Yeah, Dad is still all shitty about us dating," she said with a heavy sigh. Rae smirked,
"Join the club."
Amanda laughed as they walked back outside.
Rae, Amanda, Heather, Lita, and Victoria were all standing in the corner of the yard talking when Raes Uncle Glenn came into the backyard. Rae smiled when saw her uncle and his huge Mastiff, Titan, with him. Rae walked over to her uncle,
"Hey Uncle Glenn."
Glenn nodded and watched as Titan ran off to play with Het, Angel, and Baby. He hugged his niece,
"How's it going Rae?"
Rae smiled and pulled from her uncle,
"Fine. Can't wait until this school year is over."
Glenn laughed,
"How many times have you been to Vinces office this year?"
Rae smirked,
"I lost count after like, 50."
Glenn laughed and tussled his nieces hair,
"Well, I'm not surprised. You're a little hellraiser like your father was when he was younger."
Rae sighed and looked over at her father who was drinking beer with Steve and Shawn,
"Yeah, too bad he's all laid back now."
Glenn shook his head,
"Nah, he's just being a good father. I bet your old man hasn't told you about when we were in high school."
Rae shook her head,
"Nope, he won't talk about it with me."
Glenn leaned down and whispered to her,
"I'll tell ya sometime."
Rae laughed and watched as her uncle walked over and joined her father by the grill. Rae walked back over and joined her friends just as Jeff was walking into the backyard. He smiled and joined Heather. He hugged her tightly and kissed her gently,
"Hey."
Heather smiled and hugged him in return,
"Hey."
Jeff kissed Heathers stomach and spoke quietly,
"I love you."
Rae, Amanda, Lita, and Victoria looked at the couple in surprise. Heather smiled sheepishly as Jeff stood up. He looked at the four young women, and then to Heather,
"I take it you haven't told 'em yet."
Heather smiled and shook her head. She looked at her friends,
"I'm pregnant."
Rae smirked,
"No fuckin shit. I thought Jeff had lost his mind for a second, telling your stomach that he loves it."
Amanda backhanded Raes bicep,
"Stop."
Lita smiled,
"Well, congratulations you guys."
Victoria nodded in agreement,
"Yeah, congrats."
Heather nodded and smiled as Jeff put an arm around her shoulder,
"Thank you."
"What'd your dad say," Amanda asked after she swallowed a drink of her Pepsi. Heather smiled,
"He's happy about it."
Rae smirked as she exhaled a cloud of blue-gray smoke,
"My dad would kill John if I got pregnant."
Amanda nodded in agreement,
"Yeah, dad would make sure Randy couldn't even have kids."
Rae patted her friend on the back,
"He'll come around."
Amanda sighed,
"I hope so."
Just then Dave came into the yard and Raes looked down at the ground. The girls looked at each other and then Amanda grabbed Raes arm, dragging her toward the house.
Inside, the girls immediately started questioning Rae. Heather was first,
"What the hell is up with you two?"
Rae shook her head, quickly,
"Nothing."
"Bullshit," Amanda declared. Lita nodded in agreement,
"Yeah Rae, you usually are all buddy buddy with Dave, what happened?"
Rae sighed and looked at her friends,
"Yesterday in Drama, Dave and I acted out a scene from Lysistrata. He touched me, and I ..."
Heather crossed her arms over her chest,
"Spill."
Rae swallowed,
"I shivered."
Victorias jaw dropped,
"You LIKE Dave?"
Rae shook her head,
"No, I can't. He's like my brother. We've known each other for almost as long as I've known you guys. I can't like Dave like that."
Lita shrugged,
"Don't matter, that's how Matt, Jeff, and I were, and ..." Rae cut her off,
"I don't like Dave like that. It's just ..."
"What," Victoria cut her off. Rae sighed and shook her head,
"I have no clue what I'm saying. Dave and I have been so close for so long ..."
"Maybe you're meant for each other," Heather added.
Rae scoffed,
"I'm 18! Ain't no way in hell I've found the guy I wanna be with right now."
Amanda cocked an eyebrow,
"What about John?"
"John's great and I love being with him, but I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life with him."
Heather caught a glimpse outside and smirked,
"Speak of the devil."
Rae looked out the window and spotted John, Randy, and Dave standing together and talking. Rae sighed heavily,
"Shit," she said barely loud enough for her friends to answer.
The girls walked back outside and headed over toward the guys. Amanda hugged Randy tightly and they shared a quick, but meaningful kiss. Rae wrapped her arms around John and hugged him. She quickly pulled away when she caught wind of a strange perfume. She looked at John, and he averted his eyes so they didn't meet her own. Rae growled and punched him right in the face. Sarah walked into the backyard with Jay and saw Rae nail John in the face. Jay smirked,
"Looks like we came at the right time."
Rae slapped John,
"How the fuck could you?!"
John swallowed,
"Rae..."
"No, fuck you John! You wanted me for so fuckin long, huh?! And you fuck around on me!"
Marks eyes went wide when he heard his daughter screaming at John. Dave could feel the anger rising in him. Raes anger faded and she suddenly felt hurt and very betrayed, she hated that feeling, she felt vulnerable. She stormed into the house as tears started to burn. Her five friends followed her inside. She was going to need some comforting. Randy looked at John, apalled,
"You cheated on her?!"
John shook his head,
"No, it wasn't like that."
"What the fuck was it like," Dave demanded. John grew nervous, he knew how much Dave thought of Rae like a sister. John opened his mouth to speak, but Dave didn't give him the chance. He tackled him to the ground and repeatedly punched him in the face. John tried to get Dave off him, but it was useless. Dave picked John up and threw him into the fence. No one dared to try and stop him. Glenn looked at Mark,
"You're just gonna let this happen?!"
Mark sighed and walked over to Dave; he ripped him away from John and seperated the two young men. Randy helped his friend up and John wiped the blood from his lip and a cut above his eye. Dave tried to get to John again, but Mark kept him back,
"Dave, that's enough," he growled. Dave finally calmed and stopped struggling against Mark. He nodded and watched as John took off through the gate, pushing Jay out of the way.
Author's Note: :sobs: He cheated on me! That son-of-a ... :cries: I still love him though ... Dave kicked his ass ... :big grin: ... anyway, next chapter will have Raes reaction to this, and we'll find out who John cheated with. Be prepared for Rae to kick some serious ass in a few chapters.
