"Ace, don't start no shit. Just leave him alone." Audrey said.
I stopped and looked at here. 'Why was my sister sticking up for that stupid Chambers kid?'
"What?" I asked after getting over my shock.
"I said, leave us alone and go on with what you were doing. Chris was just walking me home."
"Ace, come on man. We got stuff to do anyway." Eyeball said.
"Fine, Chambers touch her and I'll kill you." I told them, then turned and walked back to the car. Eyeball followed me and we sped away as soon as everyone was in and sitting.

Later That Night At The Merrill House-"Audrey, I don't want you hanging around with those little faggots." I said.
"So you'd rather me hang out with a bunch of j.d.'s and end up pregnant by the time I'm sixteen?" Audrey asked.
I felt a little sick all of a sudden. She had a point. Hanging out with those rejects she would be less likely to get into serious trouble.
"Fine you can hang out with them, but the first one to lay a hand on you is going to wish like hell he was never born!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audrey's POVI ran up to my room and turned the radio on. My favorite song came on and I began to sing alone.
"Sitting here,
nothing to do,
just another day,
nothing new
just trying to get by
you think you're
life is never going
to get better
just give it time
you'll make it through
Been waiting all my life
For someone like you
Just hoping and waiting
It just had to get better
And now that you're here
It's took a turn for the better
You think you're
Life is never going
To get better, just
Give it time you'll
Make it through
Yeah, just hang in there
You'll make it through"
"Nice singing." I turned around to see Eyeball standing in the doorway of my room.
"What are you doing there?" I asked him.
"I was listening to you singing. What was that song?"
"It's called 'You'll make it through."
"Oh, who sings it?"
"Jessie Carrigan." I told him.
"Never heard of her." Eyeball said.
I fell over laughing. The guys here are a lot different that the guys I'd gotten used to hanging out with in Tulsa for the past two years.
Eyeball was really funny and half the time he didn't even realize he was being funny.
"What?" He asked confused.
"You, you're really funny." I said finally starting to calm down from my laughing fit.
Eyeball looked at me like I was really weird, "Ace sent me up here to get you."
"Ok." I said and followed Eyeball down stairs.
I was surprised to see Chris standing nervously by the front door.
"Hi." I said as I stepped down off the steps.
"Hey, we're going to go to the Diner and then camp out in the field behind Vern's house. Do you wanna come?" Chris asked.
"Sure, let me get my sleeping bag." I told Chris and went back upstairs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Audrey!" teddy said and began his trademark laugh. 'Eee-Hee-eee-.'
"Hey." I said.
"Hey." Gordie and Vern said in unison.
"What can I get you guys and gals?" A waitress asked.
"I'll have a coke and cheeseburger." Gordie said.
"Coke and Cheeseburger." Teddy said.
"Same as them." Vern replied.
"Same." Chris said.
"I'll have a coke and fries." I said.
We talked while we waited for the waitress to bring our food.
"Audrey, how old are you?" Teddy asked.
"15." I said.
"Cool." Teddy replied.
"Yeah, that's really boss!" Vern said excitedly.
"He rocks in the tree top all day long hopping and a boppin' and a singing his song. All the little birds on Jay bird street love to heard the Robin going tweet, tweet, tweet, Rockin' Robin."
"You could be a singer." Vern stated.
"Yeah, that'll be the day." I said smiling.
"Sincerely, you could."
"Sure, Vern." I said as the waitress brought our food over.
She placed our orders on the table and left.
"Audrey?" I heard a familiar voice question.
"Katie?" I asked.
"Oh my gosh! It's great to see you!" My best friend said, giving me a hug.
"I didn't know you were still in Castle Rock. I mean, when I went to Tulsa you said your family was moving to Texas."
"Change of plans." Katie said.
"Ummm…Audrey? Do you mind telling us what's going on here?" Teddy asked.
"Oh," I said laughing, "This is Katie Garner."
"Hey." Gordie said.
"Hey." Teddy and Vern said in unison.
"Hey." Chris mumbled not looking up from the magazine he was looking at.

We all went to Vern's house and set up the tent in his backfield. Katie couldn't come because she had plans with her family.
"I hope Billy and the rest of the Cobras don't come over here tonight." Vern said.
"Yeah." We all agreed.
If any of the Cobras came over we'd all probably be in for trouble.
"Let's go explore!" Teddy shouted all of a sudden. "Move out troops!"
I couldn't help but laugh. Teddy was a funny character sometimes.
"What'd I say?" Teddy asked, completely unaware of his previous statement being so funny.
We all crawled out of the tent and started walking toward the woods.

Ace's POV-I was more than a little ticked of that my sister had stood up to me to protect that fucking Chambers kid.
She was my damn sister, shouldn't she be on my side?
"Hey, Ace. You missed the drive way!" Billy shouted.
I stopped the car, backed up and then turned into Billy's driveway. I parked the car and we all got out. We were walking up the steps when I saw the tent.
"Well, what do you know?" I said grinning. I turned and started back down the steps, making my way over to the tent…
