Lilly's POV

After things had calmed down, Humphrey had gently asked me if I wanted to simply lie down and watch something with him. I sniffed as I nodded and that's how we ended up watching south park, cuddling up in bed. I felt bad for the small freak out session that I had just thrown, but I couldn't help it. The fear of reliving that night just came to me and I don't ever want to experience it again. Me and Humphrey watched about three episodes before he turned to me and asked,

"Did you still want to go see my mom?" by this point I had forgotten about going to visit her. I turned back to him.

"Yeah, whenever you want," I said. Humphrey smiled.

"Okay" he replied, giving my nose a gentle peck. He then stood up and began walking to the door. "I'm gonna go see if Rick and Kate aren't too busy," he said. I giggled and stood up myself.

"Wait, let me come with you," I said. Humphrey then held the door open for me as I walked out of my room. Unsurprisingly Kate's door was shut, I could only imagine the sweaty activities that were going on in there. I could hear the TV playing, but nothing else apart from that. Humphrey came next to me and knocked three times.

"Come in" we heard Kate call. Humphrey opened up the door and I was surprised to find that the two were simply sitting on the bed playing chess. As we walked in I took a couple of sniffs in the air to confirm my suspicions.

"You guys didn't…" I began but i didn't finish.

"I told you that their was more to our relationship than just sex" Kate said. Rick shot her a confused look and then turned back to us.

"Huh?" he questioned, with the same look on his face.

"Nothing, are you alright?" Kate asked, turning to me again after answering Rick.

"Yeah I just… we'll talk about it later" I said, rubbing my arm. Kate nodded with a sympathetic expression.

"We wanted to know if you still wanted to come over to my place," Humphrey said. Kate nodded to him before giving a vocal answer.

"Yeah, I'll ride over there with ya, what about you Rick?" Kate asked, turning to him.

"Yeah, I want to check on her too," he answered.

"You told him?" I asked. Kate turned to face me.

"Yeah, I caught him up while we were playing," Kate explained. I nodded.

"Do you two want to ride together? Me and Humphrey can take our cars" Rick suggested, and to be honest it wasn't a bad idea.

"That's up to Lilly, I wouldn't mind" Kate told me as she waited for an answer.

"Yeah, I think that's a great idea," I said. Everyone seemed to be satisfied with that.

"Well when did you guys want to go now?" Humphrey asked, double taking between me and the two. I could tell that he wanted to go now, once you put an idea into Humphrey's head, you had to do it soon or else he was gonna have a panic attack.

"Sure thing, mind if we finish this later?" Kate asked Rick as she turned back to him. Rick shook his head. "Alright, sweet" she said before carefully grabbing the chess board and placing it on the dresser. Rick turned off the TV while she did that, meanwhile I went back to my room to put my shoes on. I also turned off the TV and after that I was pretty much ready, the only thing I needed was a sweatshirt because of the temperature. If I remembered correctly it was about thirty degrees out, it was totally believable because of how gray the sky was. That and I didnt feel like checking. As I came out Humphrey followed me down the stairs as I followed Rick and Kate. Rick was wearing his usual jacket while Kate put on her gray sweatshirt which as usual was not zipped up once it was actually on. Once we stepped outside I realized it was drizzling with the familiar smell of rain in the air that I had come to love.

"Alright, I'm gonna ride with Lilly okay?" Kate said, turning to Rick after she locked the door.

"Yeah, drive safe okay?" Rick said as Kate approached him.

"I will, I love you" Kate said.

"Love you too" Rick replied. The two then gave each other a quick kiss before separating.

"Any chance you want to ride with me Rick?" Humphrey asked as the two made their way to their cars. Me and Kate met up as they talked and opened up her car.

"We don't exactly know the plan yet, so I'm gonna have to pass," Rick replied.

"Fine," Humphrey said quickly and innocently before ducking into his car while Rick climbed into his truck. I shut my door while Kate started the car, giving me the chance to put my window down ever so slightly to enjoy the rainy weather without actually getting rained on, and since it was only drizzling it was easier to pull off. Kate turned off the radio which had been left on since the last time she was driving and bagan backing out of the driveway.

"So, care to tell me what's up?" Kate asked as she straightened out the car onto the main road. I twiddled with my thumbs for a moment, not even knowing here to start. From the corner of my eye I saw Kate glance over at me for a second. Any moment now she was going to ask again. "Lilly?" she called.

"When Lyle walked in on us… I felt scared, like a huge part of what I thought was my safe place was just gone. I never want to feel that way again, humiliated, frozen, not knowing what to do to get myself out of the situation" I explained. I looked over at Kate to study her reaction, which wasn't much considering that she was driving.

"You don't want to have sex with Humphrey because you're afraid it will happen again? Even if nobody is there?" Kate asked, peering her head over a bit as if she wanted to look at me but couldn't.

"It's not that it's… I don't really know how to explain it, when we started making out I tried to relax like I always do, but I just kept going back to what happened, and the thought of it happening again, I couldn't feel pleasure or joy, I just felt on edge, like something was gonna happen" I told her. Kate sighed.

"I wish I could give you some good advice but… I don't know what to say other than just try to think of everytime before that" she said. I cocked my head to the side in curiosity,

"What do you mean?" I asked. A small smile crept onto my sister's face.

"When me and Rick first had sex, I woke up the next morning so relaxed, like I was floating on a cloud and there wasn't a single tense bone in my body, and I kept thinking of the night before. It brought a smile to my face, it still does. I'll treasure that night s long as I live, maybe you should do something similar, try to push it away by thinking of another memory, or letting yourself get lost in pleasure. Either way, I feel like you'll be just fine after a while" Kate explained. I looked away from her to think about what she was saying to me.

"You really think so?" I asked. Kate nodded.

"Just give it some time, I know you might be in heat but that might be a good thing, it might push you to get back into it. Really that's all you're gonna need" Kate said. That was actually a pretty good point. With winter heat pushing me over the edge, I only need to ask Humphrey and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to take me, winter heat is almost over though and then it wont come back until spring. I guess there was no rush though. There was just one more thing that was bugging me.

"You don't think that Humphrey is mad at me do you?" I asked. Kate snickered.

"Pssh, please. He's one of the most understanding guys I've ever met. As long as you're okay he…" Kate stopped speaking and peered over the steering wheel as something caught her eye.

"What is it?" I asked. Kate continued to peer as she replied.

"Isn't that Lyle's car?" she asked. Instantly my head shot over to Humphrey's driveway which we were just pulling up to and sure enough, there was the bastard's car sitting in the driveway.

"What the hell is he doing here? I thought they were done" I said as Kate parked alongside the curb. As Kate turned the car off Rick and Humphrey got out of their cars and started walking over to the house after meeting up, Humphrey waiting for Rick to walk up to him. Me and Kate hopped out as well and that's when I realized that Lyle wasn't even in the house, he was on the porch, yelling at Myra to let him in the house. We met up with the boys, calling out to them to stop walking over to the house. "Humphrey, why is he here?" I asked.

"I don't know," Humphrey replied with a worried look in his eyes. Lyle continued banging on the front door, yelling at Myra to let him in, I guess it made sense that this guy was that type.

"Come on Myra! You can't seriously just end things because of that! The kid needs discipline, I'm trying to help you!" he yelled. Rick was staring at him and then turned to Humphrey, grabbing his attention by tapping him on the shoulder.

"What do you want to do?" he asked. Humphrey seemed to think for a moment, looking away and scratching his head trying to think of something, anything.

"Let's just try and get him to leave," he replied. Rick nodded and then turned to us.

"Stay here alright?" he told us. I felt Kate grab onto my shoulder lightly as she most likely nodded in response. Rick and Humphrey then walked over to the house, and up to the porch. Just faintly I was able to hear what they were saying.

"What are you doing here Lyle?" Humphrey asked, causing Lyle to urn to him.

"Oh Humphrey, your mother isn't letting me in, she's mad at me about the other night, I know you are too but please, could you just let me in so I can make this right?" Lyle pleaded. Was this guy fucking serious? I know he had to switch to some type of tactic but pleading to the guy that you just fucked over and were talking shit about, this guy couldn't look any stupider.

"Look man if you want to make this right then you should just go, give this some time at the very least" Rick suggested, causing Lyle to snap at him. Rick's suggestion though, give it a while? I guess he didn't actually mean it and just wanted him to get away but still, the fact that he said it.

"Who the hell are you?" Lyle asked. Rick's brow tensed as he stared back at Lyle.

"Rick, we met like three times," he replied. Lyle shook his head.

"Look kid you really shouldn't be here, go home" he instructed and then turned back to Humphrey. "Give me the keys kid" he said.

"No… I think you should leave Lyle" Humphrey said after taking a deep breath to build up the courage. This enraged Lyle, making him step forward to him.

"You little shit, do you realize how good you have it? You have your mother and your friends fooled but you are nothing more than a spoiled brat, who should have had a father figure to guide you long before you were raised to be their sad, defenseless mama's boy that you are" he said, insulting Humphrey. Humphrey's face then turned to one of pure anger before he replied to him.

"Fuck… you…" he said through gritted teeth, earning him a quick punch to the face by Lyle. Kate gasped while I yelped out as I watched my boyfriend fall to the ground. I couldn't help myself as I ran over to him to check up on him. Kate followed me as I continued running.

"What the fuck-" Rick said as he began approaching Lyle but was cut off when he was punched in the stomach and then elbowed to the ground. I finally reached Humphrey while this was happening, seeing that he was wiping blood from his nose.

"Humphrey, are you okay?" I asked but before I could get a response Lyle came over and pushed me to the ground to get away from him so he could dig through Humphrey's pockets.

"What the fuck is you problem?" Kate yelled as she tried to stop him, Humphrey was still trying to recover while Rick was standing up.

"Who are you talking to you little bitch?" Lyle said as he turned to Kate, he approached her to do God only know what, while she began to reach in her pocket for something, but before it could go further Rick tackled Lyle to the ground, pushing himself off from one of the poles on the deck once he got up. He also managed to get a punch in but before he could deliver another one Lyle caught his fist and punched Rick in the face. I wasn't sure what to do honestly, as ashamed as I was I was too afraid to move, thinking that anything I did would cause harm to the people I was trying to help, and I didnt want to be the one to get in the way. Kate on the other hand ran over to the two as Lyle had grabbed Rick to put him against the house and punched him once and then twice until Kate got over there to try and get Lyle off of him, instead though he grabbed her by the hair and swung her into the house, again knocking her to the ground.

"You stupid fucking kids" he yelled. He then turned to Rick again who was now being held up to the house by the throat and was choking as Lyle went to punch him again, he would have succeeded maybe if his legs were not spread apart enough for Rick to kick him hard right in the balls. Immediately Lyle let go of him and winced but Rick kept going with another punch to the face, knocking Lyle to the ground. I thought back for a moment when the fight in the cafeteria happened and Angel had stopped Rick from hitting Garth more than he did, and with no one to hold him back I was finally able to see what would have happened to him had Angel not stopped him. Once Lyle was on the ground Rick stood above him holding him by the collar of his shirt, punching him in the face one, two, three, four, five, all the way up to fifteen times, causing his face to be a bloody, bruised, and mangled mess. Kate by now had recovered though and once she looked up and saw what was happening she ran over to Rick and grabbed his arm, his fist now dripping with blood.

"Rick stop, you're gonna kill him!" she yelled. Rick turned to her and stared into her eyes, and for the first tie in the last couple of minutes, things felt silent. I heard a cough next to me, I then turned to see Humphrey shaking his head to snap back to reality, how hard did Lyle hit him? I then turned back to the three. Rick had stopped staring at Kate to get close to Lyle, face to face.

"If I ever hear word of you being around here again I Will not stop next time do you hear me? DO YOU HEAR ME?" Rick growled, but all Lyle could to was gargle up even more blood. Rick growled again and one last time punched Lyle to the ground, finally letting go of him and standing up fully. Humphrey spit some blood from his mouth and stood up, walking over to Rick and Kate as they stood over Lyle, I walked over to join them.

"I… I guess I'll call an ambulance" Humphrey said calmly, before anything else could happen though Rick began storming over to his truck.

"Rick?" Kate called, sounding concerned.

"Rick!" I called out as well, shouting. Rick didn't respond though he just got in his truck, turned it on, and pulled out of the driveway, taking off angrily.

"What is he doing?" I asked the others.

"I-I don't know, but I… I'm gonna follow him, just get this idiot some help" Kate said as she ran over to her car. A small garage sound came from below us and we looked down to see Lyle still in pain. Good. I sighed and pulled out my phone to dial 911 as Kate sped off after Rick. as the phone rang I turned to Humphrey again.

"You okay?" I asked. Humphrey stared at me for a moment with a shamed expression.

"Yeah" he muttered, he then started walking over to the house to unlock the door and most likely tell his mom what just happened. How she didn't hear what was going on I will never fucking know. Most likely Lyle had been here for a while trying to get in so she went somewhere that she couldn't hear him. A shame she missed out on all the bullshit.

Kate's POV

Thanks to the backroads that our neighborhood was in, I was able to catch up to Rick. I followed him all the way to his house, the whole time wondering why he just up and left. It wasn't just that though, I was extremely angry with him for just going to town on a cop. How could he be so stupid? Lord only knows what kind of trouble he could get into. But the guy messed with his family, messed with me. I guess he didn't care much about himself once we came into the mix. I tried staying focused on tailing Rick but couldn't help myself as I thought of other things. Is that what he wanted to do to Garth if Angel had not stopped him? Did he care about us that much? I guess it was sweet but… fuck was it dumb. I kept thinking of possible outcomes over and over again until finally pulling into his driveway. Once there I turned off the car and stepped out to see Rick walking over to the door to unlock it.

"Rick!" I called as I approached him. He turned to me for a second, his ear raising. He then turned back to the door.

"You followed me?" he asked. I reached him just as he got it open. I marched inside, following him in pure anger.

"Yeah I did, how could you be so fucking stupid?" I asked. Rick sighed and turned to me again. He then walked past me to shut and lock his door. "Rick?" I called again.

"What is it that you wanted me to do Kate? He was hurting you guys" Rick said, still facing the door.

"You could have defended us, hurt him a little, but you almost killed him. Do you know how much trouble you could get in?" I yelled. Rick faced me again, making eye contact with me. He looked so calm but… angry.

"I wanted to kill him Kate, if you didn't pull me off of him I probably would have" Rick said. He would have killed for us? for me? I guess so giving how he handled Lyle. the way he punched him over and over and over again just to defend us, protect us. It was so stupid, but protective and… hot, it was so fucking hot. I marched over to Rick and pushed him against the wall as hard as I could, catching him off guard. At first I think he thought I was just hitting him but realized that wasn't the case once I pressed my lips against his really hard, breaking the kiss every now and then to insult him.

"Your so stupid… so fucking stupid… but fuck I need you…" I said in between smooches. Rick pulled me into a hug and kissed me back passionately. I really hope that Angel wasn't here because I really needed him, and I needed him now. I twisted my mouth to break the kiss and shoved him in the direction of his bedroom. I started to walk quickly and immediately he got the message, running up the stairs with me and into his bedroom. Once there we embraced each other again, sucking on each other's tongues and feeling each other up. After a few seconds I broke the kiss and pushed Rick onto the bed and started to quickly undo his pants. As I did that he took his shirt off, trying to get nude. I pulled his pants down to his ankles and then did the same with his underwear, revealing his already hard penis. I undid my pants just as fast as I felt myself drip down my leg, making the fur on my thighs wet. Once my pants were completely off I quickly crawled over my lover and kissed him again. Rick raised his head off of the pillow to kiss me back while I pushed his head back down. As the kiss further intensified I took the opportunity to line my vagina up with his penis and slowly sank onto it, moaning into the kiss until I was about halfway on. By then I broke it and Rick and I both moaned into each other's mouths.

"Did I turn you on or something?" Rick panted with a smile.

"Shut up" I breathed with a smile before I started riding him. Rick relaxed but at the same time lifted my shirt off, leaving me in only my bra. I leaned forward to kiss him again and as our tongues met I could feel him reach for my bra strap to undo it. I giggled into the kiss once I felt it become undone. I then threw it to the side and went in for another kiss, scooping his tongue up with mine as my breasts rested on his chest. I felt myself drip onto him, making it seem like I was already cumming but I wasn't, I was just really horny. Now was this the best way to handle the situation? No, but fuck I couldn't help myself. I brushed my long, thick hair away from my eye as it fell in front of it, and laughed as I tossed it over my shoulder. I then started to ride him again, moaning loudly every time he poked my core.

Humphrey's POV

"So none of you actually did this to him? The guy that did it left?" the cop asked as Lyle was being wheeled into the ambulance. Me and Lilly stood on the doorstep answering any question that was being asked. We had told the story what must have been at the very least three times but each time all that they seemed to hear was that our friend went a little overboard with the beating.

"Yes he left, his girlfriend went after him and I'm not sure where they are" I told him. The cop turned to his partner and mumbled something before turning back to us.

"You said this was started by him trying to get into the house?" the cop asked.

"Yeah, he was trying to speak to my mom but I don't know where she is," I explained.

"Any idea where she went?" the cop asked, by now the ambulance was all closed up and had begun driving to the hospital. We all turned our attention to it as it drove off and then all looked back at each other once it had left.

"Well her car is still here, I tried calling her but-" as I was explaining my phone started to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket to see that it was my mom, a wave of relief came over me as I was finally going to hear from her. After searching the house and not finding her, I had no idea what could have happened. "It's my mom, Lilly, could you answer their questions while I talk to her?" I asked.

"Sure" Lilly answered. I nodded and swiped answer as I began walking into my house, leaving Lilly and the two officers on the porch. Once the call was answered I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I called, feeling impatient as I waited for my mom to say something back.

"Hey Humphrey, what's up?" mom said. Why did she sound so calm and collected?

"Where are you? I've been looking for you" I told her.

"The neighbors" mom answered. I walked over to the window and opened the curtain to look at the house next to ours. Often my mom would go there to hang out with the neighbor. It was just a husband and wife living there and my mom seemed to get along with both of them so they were good friends.

"Did you know that Lyle was here?" I asked as I continued peeking through the window.

"Yeah, that's why I came over here, I went out the back. I figured he would leave sooner or later, I didn't want to get the cops involved" mom explained, I guess it made sense considering that Lyle technically worked for the police, so it was more trouble than it was worth.

"Well he attacked me and my friends, the police are over here right now" I said.

"What? What do you mean he attacked you? Are you guys okay?" mom asked in a panic.

"Fine, but I think you should come over here, it might help to hear from you why he was here" I said, finally dropping the curtain to start walking back to the front door.

"Alright I'll be right over, is Lyle still there?" mom asked as I heard her start to get up, I could hear her friend asking what was wrong but she didn't answer.

"No, he was taken away in an ambulance," I said.

"Ambulance?" mom asked.

"Yeah… Rick kinda went crazy on him" I said. After that mom hung up, I guess she was running over right now. I went back to the front door and stepped outside where Lilly was still talking to the officers, however I noticed that the other squad car was gone. There had been two before but now it was just the one with the two that were talking to us. "She'll be here any second," I told the police. Lilly turned to me, realizing I was right next to her.

"Where was she?" Lilly asked, continuing to cross her arms as she had been the whole time. I guess she was cold.

"The neighbors, that's her over there" I said as I pointed to her, she was jogging over to us seeming to still be worried about us even though I told her that he was fine.

"So you're the mother?" one of the cops asked. Mom began to answer but stopped once she saw that my nose was a bit bruised.

"Did he do this?" she asked as she gently grabbed it to check.

"Yeah, believe me though, he looks worse" I told her, causing her to look around.

"Where's Rick?" she asked.

"We sent a unit to his house to pick him up," the cop said. We all turned to them when mom asked something that was on my mind as soon as he said that.

"What is he under arrest?" she asked.

"Assaulting an officer no matter the context we at least have to hold him until we look into the situation further" the other cop said.

"What? You told me that you were just going to pick him up" Lilly protested as she leaned forward a bit.

"Yeah, we are going to pick him up and take him to the station for questioning," the cop replied. Lilly shook her head as tears started to form. I could tell that immediately she felt horrible.

"You gave them his address?" I asked. Lilly turned to me with panic in her eyes.

"What was I supposed to do?" she yelled. The two cops then brought our attention back to them as they spoke to my mom.

"Look miss, if you don't mind we'd like to just ask you a few questions as well as get a statement from you" the cop said. My mother sighed as she let go of my shoulder.

"Fine," she said, aggravated.

Rick's POV

Me and Kate had been resting on the bed for an hour now, Kate snoozing on top of me as I listened to the soft rain hitting the window. It was so relaxing, especially after the events that had just unfolded. I began rubbing her soft shoulder as my hand went up her back, making her smile.

"So what was up with Lilly?" I asked. Kate sighed blissfully and lifted her head to face me, her cute nose almost touching my nose.

"She just… needs some time after the whole getting caught thing, her and Humphrey were about to do it and I guess she freaked out" Kate explained.

"Is she gonna be okay?" I asked concerned. Kate nodded with a small smile that looked adorable across her muzzle.

"She just needs time," Kate said. I nodded and gave her a small peck on the lips and as always it tasted sweet. I could kiss her lips all day if that were an option. The doorbell rang causing Kate's ears to perk up as she lifted her head and turned towards my bedroom door. She then turned back to me and groaned. "Why are we always getting bothered?" she moaned. I chuckled and began sitting up, causing her to roll off of me.

"Do you want to stay here?" I asked. Kate yawned and shook her head.

"No, I'll come with ya, I'm feeling kinda thirsty" she said. I chuckled again as I put my clothes back on. Kate began doing it as well just as I was walking downstairs. I would meet her down there. The doorbell rang again as I reached the bottom. It better not be one of those fucking punks, I swear to God I'll scrap them to. But I felt myself grow nervous as I looked through the peephole to see two cops standing there. A male and female officer, too distorted by the peephole to see their name tags. I unlocked the door and pulled it open.

"Hey" I said nervously, deep down I knew why they were here. Part of me just didn't want to believe that it would happen.

"Are you Rick?" the female cop asked. Now I could clearly see her name tag which read Robberts.

"Uh, yeah. Why?" I asked innocently, not knowing what was to come. She looked at her partner and nodded. The male cop then began walking to me and turned me around to place cuffs tightly over my wrists. As this happened Robberts came around and began speaking again.

"You are under arrest for assaulting an office, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say could be-" she began speaking but I couldnt hear it, I was lost in my own fear of my life being over, and all because of that fucking prick, hurting my family and just like Garth it seemed that he had won. From my standing there was no fucking justice in this world. The only thing to snap me out of my trance was Kate's beautiful voice, except it sounded afraid and nervous. A tone I never wanted to hear from her.

"Rick? what 's going on?" she asked in a panic as she began approaching us but Robbests held out a hand to stop her.

"Hold it, I need you to step back so we can do our job" she said.

"What do you mean? Where are you taking him?" Kate asked panicking.

"I need you to step back," Robberts repeated but it ended up just being her and Kate going back and forth until I yelled out.

"Kate! It's okay, just let Ange know, she'll call my parents" I told her. By now Kate had tears in her eyes as she seemed to lose hope of the situation turning around.

"But Rick…" she whispered.

"Kate… please" I said before I was hauled away. I was escorted down the porch steps and past my truck and Kate's car, and finally placed in the back of the police car. Somewhere I never dreamt that I would be. I saw Kate watch from the steps, clearly not knowing what to do. All she could do was watch as the two took me away, pulling out of the driveway and beginning the ride to what was presumably my end. That's how it felt anyway.
