Hi… I've been expecting you… LMFAO welcome back xD

Chapter 15: The Loss and the Gain

Humphreys P.O.V (2:45pm):

You know the feeling when you work REALLY hard in order to get something and finally get it? Well imagine how it feels when someone destroys, or better yet, BURNS that thing you worked for. All the odd jobs, sold possessions, and staying late after hours to make more money just thrown in a fucking dumpster.

So there I was, staring at my almost fully burnt truck, all that was visible was the scratched quarter panel. I had no emotions, I decided to just hide them from now on. Once I got out of my trans I noticed Kate was holding me from behind. I turned around and buried my face in her shoulder. We were like that for a bit until I realized

"Shit! We need to put it out before it spreads to the house!" I said. I didn't know where my mom and sister were but right now all I was thinking about was how I was gonna get it out before it spreads to the house. Jack and Troy hurried over ready to help when I sprinted over to the truck. Kate started calling 911 for a firetruck.

"If we can just get it to the middle of the culdesac it will lessen the danger" Jack stated

"We need to put it in neutral" I said looking in through the driver side window burning my hand on the glass in the process. I noticed that the inside hasn't been touched by the fire yet. Garth must've used a blowtorch like he did on the Challenger. I took my shirt off and wrapped it around my hand so I could open the door burn free…

I heard Kate shout "Be careful Humphrey!" as I opened the door. I forced the gear shifter to 'R' for Reverse probably breaking the transmission in the process but who cares.. The truck is fucked.

"Alright it's good" I said as we went to the back of the truck which was the most fire free, Garth and his goons musta just focused on the front of the truck thinking it would just blow up like in a video , Troy, Jack, and some awesome neighbours started pushing the truck until it was away from my house and then the firefighters as well as the rest of the guys who went to the cabin showed up. The firefighters got to work putting out the blaze before it got any worse.

Keith came up to me putting his hand on my shoulder "I'm so sorry bro" he said. Then Sophia came up and hugged me and said "He's not getting away with this".

"No he's not" said Shakey

"Humphrey?" Salty added after a while of silence

"Say something man" Mooch said hunching down to look into my eyes (He's taller than Humphrey). I looked up and at each of them then said

"Guess you could say my truck is pretty… lit" EVERYONE laughed including some of the neighbours. I'm not going to let this ruin my life. Of course I'm sad… PISSED.. But if I show any signs of that it means Garth won.. And I can tell you… That is NOT happening.

Kate's P.O.V:

I gotta tell you my respect for Humphrey just gets stronger by the minute, the truck he worked his ASS off to get was burning in front of him and he can still crack a joke. I'll tell you what.. When it comes to comforting boyfriends I. am. HORRIBLE at it, I just can't seem to help much and I hate it. But for Humphrey I'll try my best. When the rest of the guys went off to talk to the firefighters I saw Humphrey's face drop from a smile to just… sad. I know Humphrey as the fun loving one so it's heartbreaking to see him depressed. I did the only thing I knew how to do in this situation and hugged him rubbing his back.

"It's okay Humphrey, you couldn't do anything about it" I said

"I know." was all he said

"I'm gonna get him back" he said and he broke the hug looking me in the eyes

"Humphrey. Garth is torturing you, just for being with me. I think he deserves it, but it's just about if you make it worse. Please Humphrey just leave it. Garth will likely KILL you if you do anything back" I said and he just brought me into another hug and I hugged him back.

One of the policeman that came with the rest of the first responders tapped Humphreys shoulder and asked, with some sort of Polish accent:

"Hey buddy, I'm Constable Planets. I know this is a lot to take in and I'm sorry to interrupt but would you mind if we asked a couple questions? You're friends informed us that this was not an accident but in fact an act of Arson, is this true?"

"Yes it is officer and I will answer any questions you have" Humphrey said and they walked over to his police car which was a 2018 Charger with 'RCMP' written all over it.

While they were talking I saw a white Cadillac EXT pull up and I knew it was my dad, but when the doors opened I saw my mom, dad, sister, and two other wolves come out. When I got a better look I noticed it was Humphreys mom and sister. They ran over to me

"Kate! One of Anna's neighbours called her and said there was a fire" dad said looking at Anna, Humphreys mom.

"Yeah Garth took a blow torch to Humphreys truck" I replied

"Kate, honey, where is Humphrey?" Anna asked with sad eyes

"He's over there" I said with a sympathetic smile

"Thank you" she said placing a hand on my shoulder as she and Liza walked by

"Did anyone get hurt dear?" mom asked as she looked at the ambulance that was there

"No, thankfully" I answered

"We were just having lunch with his mother and sister when they called. Why would that boy do that?" Dad asked as he looked at what was left of the, once, beautiful truck.

"Jealousy dad. He thinks if he does all this stuff to Humphrey then I'll leave him" I said covering my face with both my hands

"I have an idea" mom said

"Eve… were not going to kill the boy" dad said and my mom just looked down and sighed

"Nevermind then"

"Humphrey worked so damn hard to get that truck and now look at it" I said looking at Humphrey hugging his mom and sister

"You know what we're gonna do Kate?" dad said his eyes also stuck on them hugging.

"What?"

"Were going to buy Humphrey another truck, a nicer one, one that will make Garth even more jealous"

"Wait.. dad that would only make things WAY worse" I exclaimed

"But you see Kate, if he tries ANYTHING with this one… Well be ready"

"What are you talking about? Are you going insane already?" I asked tilting my head

"There will be a trap in the truck" he answered

"Alright girls your father has officially lost it" my mom said rolling her eyes

"If he tries anything a net or something will fly out over him catching him!" my dad said making gestures with his hands

"How.. per say.. Will you build such a trap?" my mom asked

"I know a guy."

"Dad why are you doing this for Humphrey? Usually you HATE my boyfriends" I asked

"Because Kate.. Humphrey is the first boy you've brought home that I feel is the one for you. And I knew his father… and he did.. So much for me that I could never repay him for. But now his son is in my life and he needs a male figure in his life, someone to lookout for him when he needs it."

"Wow da-"

"But if he hurts you I'll still have Eve burn him in his bed" he finished

"...Wow.. dad.. Alright. Let's do it"

"But you can't tell Humphrey that we put a trap in it, we need it to be believable" he said raising an eyebrow

"Okay" I said before starting to walk to Humphrey but then I stopped remembering something and turned around.

"Oh, and daddy?"

"Yes, Kate?"

"Humphrey has always wanted a red 2017 Chevy Silverado SS" I said and all he did was wink so I took that as a 'you got it' and walked over to Humphrey.

Humphreys P.O.V:

So I finished talking to Planets about Garth and I was just leaning on the cop car thinking about what he said. They're going to question Garth but he said it's highly unlikely there would have been any proof left that he was the one that did it. Even when I showed him the Instagram comment. Since Garth just turned 17 he's still under age therefore it's hard for him to be put in jail when there's no proof he did it.

"Hey good looking you alright?" Kate asked leaning on the car with me

"I'm alright but I'm pretty sure he's gonna get away with it"

"For real? Why?"

"No proof will be left" I said looking down at my shoes

"Don't worry we're all here for you baby, and he will get what he deserves" she said and I just looked at her and smiled

"God I love you" I said and then we kissed. When we broke the kiss she said

"I love you too" and then her parents came over..

"Humphrey how you holding up?" Winston asked

"I'm alright the shock is over so now I'm just angry"

"Well you should be dear, no one should go through something like this at such a young age" her mom said with a frown

"Well we're here for you, and hey. If you'd like come over for dinner tomorrow night I think you'd enjoy it" Winston said with a smile…. Weird… Your girlfriend's parents usually aren't THIS nice.. But HEY I ain't complaining.

"I would love to! Thank you" I said with a smile

"Great" Winston said walking away with Eve and Lilly.

Guess this day isn't complete horse shit after all!

"Fire at an acreage? We're on it. Let's go boys!" One of the firefighters said and they all piled into the firetruck and raced off…
