Chapter 19: Frenemy

Humphrey's P.O.V (11:45 am)

So here's the main notes of my life right now…

I'm rebuilding my dads car.

I am going out with my dream girl.

I had sex with her, taking both our virginities in the process.

My old friends are back in my life.

Garth is my biggest enemy.

Garth destroyed my truck..

And I'm always horny...

I'm on my way to the acreage listening to 'From the Inside" by Linkin Park, a song that I really relate to. Anyway, I'm going to the acreage because that's where Kate wanted me to meet her, which was convenient because that's where I was meeting Jack. However, I was meeting both for two different occasions. I was meeting Jack to talk about a plan I have to get back at Garth and I was meeting Kate to talk about GOD only knows what.. as if those two weren't enough my phone rang once more! I picked up my phone from the Chargers console and squinted my eyes to see the contact name 'Fuckable Teddy Bear'... it was Keith… I told you guys not to question the contact names… Anyway, I answered:

"Hey buddy how's it goin?" I asked

"Good man, listen I wanna talk about Jack are you at the acreage?" I sighed after he said that,

"No but I'm on my way there, just meet me." I said with a voice of melancholy.

"What's with the sigh bro? We don't have to meet right now" he said sounding disappointed. Trust me it's not good when you hear the nicest guy you know sound sad…

"NO NO! That's not what I meant.. you'll see why when you get there.." I stated.

"Oh okay man.. also I don't have a car yet.."

"Alright I'll come get you now" I said as I hung up and took the next turn that was so conveniently where Keith's house was.

AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH! GUESS WHAT!? Yup, you guessed it! My phone rang again! I growled and looked at the contact and sure enough.. it was Liza, but her contact name was just simply 'The Brat'.

"WHAT!?" I answered

"JESUS! You scared the crap outta me" she said

"Sorry! But I'm under A LOT of pressure right now!" I stated and I heard talking in the background… it was a guy…

"Who's that in the background?" I asked with the voice of a parent.

"It's um… *sigh* its Mooch, Salty and Shakey"

I was wondering what the hell those three were doing with my little sister but heard Shakey in the background say, and I quote,

"Nice job Mooch I told you to stop blabbering on about how McDonalds was bringing back pizza!"

"Wait… put me on speakerphone Liz.. NOW!"

"Okay… you're on speaker" I could tell she was telling the truth because the sound changed.

"Alright! Three things!" I started, "ONE! What the hell are you three doing with my sister!? TWO! I was just playing xbox with Salty how is he there? And THREE! Is it really true that McDonalds brought back pizza?" I heard some chuckles and a bit of whispering but then Salty spoke up.

"Hey buddy, the reason we're with your sister is because we were coming to see you… you're working on the car right? Also they just picked me up."

What is everyone's obsession with my fucking acreage today? Salty continued

"Oh… and to answer your last question.. FUCK YEAH MCDICKS BROUGHT BACK PIZZA!"

"Hell yeah! And fine just come to the acreage I'll meet you there.."

"Something wrong?" Mooch asked

"You'll see when you get there" I said referring to all the guys and girls that will be meeting me there as well.. I then hung up.

This day was most definitely going a completely different direction from how I previously thought it was gonna go. I made it to Keith's house, or should I say MANSION, and revved the engine so he knew I was there. Seconds later he came out the front door with a water bottle in his hand and got in my car.

"Hey bro" he said as our hands hugged and then we bro fisted.

"How's it goin brotha?" I asked as I stepped on the clutch and shifted the car to first.

"It's going good man… so, why did you sound kinda stressed over the phone?" He asked.

"Because… well, there's six other people that are going to be at the acreage by the time we get there and everyone has 'something' to tell me.. I've just got a lot on my mind today man."

"Damn.. sounds serious" he said looking at me with wide eyes.

"Speaking of which. What did you wanna talk about? You said something about Jack?" I said looking at him quickly and then back to the road.

"Oh right! Listen man.. Jacks really stressing about the whole Aleu thing and I have an idea to make him feel better but, wanted to run it past you first." He said saying the last few words almost cautiously.

"Yeah man! Let's hear it" I said enthusiastically, which made Keith perk up a bit.

"How about… We talk to Alues brother Kodi!" After he said that, I half smirked and then shook my head,

"No dice man. I already thought about that possibility but Kodi is one FIT dude… If he found out Jack wanted to sleep with his sister already, he'd probably turn his dick inside out."

"Oh… yeah, that wouldn't be pretty... Then he'd be a girl. What would we call him?" He asked

"Like, what would be the female alternative of the name Jack?" I asked, my ears perking up in the process.

"Yeah! Would we call him… Jackie?" He asked

"Nah, that's too unisex of a name, has to be more girly."

Anyway! To keep it frank; the whole ride there Keith and I talked about what we would name a penisless Jack.. we settled on Jacqueline. The fun and normality of my life soon changed when we pulled up to the acreage. As we passed under the 'Squiler Acreage' sign both me and Keith's expressions, whatever they were at the time, dropped to the same pose… mouth open and eyebrows almost touching. For me it was a look of horror.. There it was.. a yellow 2015 Mustang GT parked next to Kate's Camaro.

What.

The.

"Fuck." I said finishing my internal thoughts out loud.

I pulled up and parked in front of both their cars then shut mine off. Me and Keith slowly looked at each other, still with our faces frozen to the same expression.

"What do we do?" Keith asked, probably ready for a fight.

"I just… why Kate?" I said, looking at her car through my windshield.

"Why did she bring him here?" I asked Keith but mostly, myself.

"I don't know man, but she has to have a good explanation." Keith said, resting his head on the back of the seat.

I saw Garth's door open and he stepped out after a few seconds of probably thinking… thinking about how I'm gonna beat his ass.. I heard the rumble of another engine and then saw Jacks Cuda drive up behind me with Mooches Tacoma hot on his tail. Jack sped up a bit and slammed on the brakes right next to me causing dust to fly up around the Cuda. Mooch parked next to him. Jack quickly opened his door without shutting off his car and yelled,

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" And started sprinting towards Garth.

"Oh crap!" Keith exclaimed as he opened my door and ran after Jack. I saw Mooch and Salty get out of the Tacoma and follow Keith's lead.

"Jack don't!" Kate screamed. Garth braced for impact with a face that… I could only describe as.. ready for what was about to come, clenched teeth while flinching with his hands up. But before he made contact Keith, Salty and Mooch stopped him and held him back. Meanwhile, I was still in my car grasping the wooden steering wheel just thinking.

Why would Kate bring him here? And more importantly.. why would he come? I had a billion questions. Kate knows the pain that he has caused me, the constant comments and egged on fights, the way he treated Kate. The way he BURNED my vehicle AND got away with it by the way! Hell yeah I was mad.. I was livid. I was too deep in my thoughts to realize Kate walking up to my car. I wasn't out of my day dream until she tapped on my window. I looked at her with no emotion on my face, which was not me at all.. Her lips went to a frown for a second as if she were about to cry but then she went back to a serious face. I rolled the window down,

"C'mon, were all going in Mooches truck so I can explain." She said motioning her head to the Tacoma. I opened my door slowly and got out of the car not saying a word as I walked to the truck with Kate at my side, glancing at me every now and then.

Kate's P.O.V (12:15 pm)

I know… I have some explaining to do. But before you go accusing me for anything.. No, I am not cheating on Humphrey. I love him more than life itself. The way he looked at me when I tapped on the window… it was like daggers being thrown into my chest. We walked the couple feet from Humphreys car to Mooches and got in while Garth stayed at his car. Mooch was in the driver's seat, Jack was in the passenger seat taking some hits of his vape to calm down (A/N: Disclaimer: I do not encourage the use of vaping) as well as being calmed down by Keith who was patting his back through the window. Liza was in the back being squished by Humphrey, I slid in next to Humphrey, placing me in the middle and Shakey was to my right. After Shakey closed the door and Salty came and leaned in through the open window it was time for me to explain…

"Alright.. here it goes.. first of all, Humphrey" I put a hand on his thigh, "I love you and would never be unloyal to you, like, ever." He puffed out a quick sigh and gave a quick smile and went back to listening. I turned my gaze to the red, black and white wolf in front of me, "and Jack.. I appreciate your love and support in all this but let me explain before you beat him over the head with his own ass." I heard Keith chuckle from outside the window, thanks Keith.

"The one AND ONLY reason I brought Garth here is because if this…."

Flashback (last night 11:34pm)

So Humphrey just left my house after turning down the truck my dad got for him, but for a good reason, and it made me respect him even more than I did already, which I previously thought was impossible. I went up the stairs to my room after saying 'goodnight' to my mom, dad, and sister and jumped on my bed. I used my Touch ID to open up my rose gold iPhone 8S. I swiped my finger over the screen where I spotted my Snapchat app and opened it. I took a picture of the side of my face showing a smile and my still curled hair and typed "thanks for coming handsome" and sent it to Humphrey. I put my phone down and went to my bathroom to get ready for bed. I just finished washing my face when I heard my phone vibrating on my nightstand, and when a phone is on a night stand that shit sounds like a fucking plane taking off.. ok I'm pretty dramatic so don't take my word for it… where was I? Oh yeah. So I quickly walked from my bathroom to my phone and picked it up, I read the caller ID and it said 'Unknown'. Now I would have ignored it, but sometimes when Humphrey calls me his caller ID says the same thing so I answered it asking the usual,

"Hello?" It took a while but a voice… his voice.. came over the other end,

"Kate.." I audibly gasped and had no idea what to say, but I kept my cool.

"Garth.." I responded with the same tone he used. He sighed before saying

"I have something to tell you.. can we meet?"

"Garth.. you have SOME nerve asking that.. and you definitely have no brains if you think that I'd actually meet you somewhere. Alone. If you have something to say to me say it over the phone. If not I'm hanging up." I said bluntly.

"Kate.. it's serious"

"Bye Garth" I said, about to press my thumb on the red circle that I've come to appreciate through the years.

"Wait!... *sigh* fine.." he said before another sigh

"Make it quick."

"I'll just say it… I didn't torch… Humphreys truck."

"Bull shit." I said, sounding like an accusing mother.

"I'm serious, how stupid would I be to do something like that? Especially after Humphrey has proven that he can kick my ass?" I rolled my eyes after he said that, not that he could see me.

"Garth.. you LITERALLY brought a squad of wolves to beat the shit out of Humphrey. You probably would have killed him if the boys didn't stop you." I said, my voice breaking at the thought of losing Humphrey.

"I know.. and- I'll admit.. that was way out of line. But I want a truce"

"A truce? A TRUCE? How dumb are you Garth? That's a serious question." I asked bluntly.

"Look.. Kate. I know who set Humphreys vehicle on fire.. it's the same guy who set my uncles acreage on fire not long ago.. it was actually the same day." He stated.

"How am I supposed to believe you're not just luring my man into a trap?"

"Why would I have warned him to go check on his house in that Instagram comment?"

"It could aaaaaall have been set up Garth."

"Fine. You don't believe me? Get Humphrey to meet you at his place tomorrow." He said with a cough after.

"Garth.. I can't tell if you're dumb or just straight retarded. Why the fuck would I.. or more importantly, HE give you access to inside his house? Your pyromaniac ass would burn it down." I said with a slight chuckle at how stupid he's being.

"Oh my God. Kate. The bottom line is.. We need to put our bullshit behind us to stop this person from burning this place down. You don't want to meet at his house? Fine. We'll meet at his acreage. I've already been in there. Fuck it! Bring anyone you want! I don't careeee. Bring Jack or Keith or ALL OF THE-"

"Garth.." I said cutting him off, "since when.. do YOU care about the well being of anyone?"

"This isn't just anyone we're talking about.. this guy fucked with my uncle.. my family. Yeah sure, I don't give a shit about your coyote boyfriend. But when someone fucks with my family, they better get ready for an ass whooping." After he said that I was actually taken back by hearing him actually care about.. well, anything.

"Fine. But if it's a trap.. you already know what will happen." I hung up.

Flashback over:

"And now we're here." I said as I wrapped up my story.

"But how did you know we'd all be here?" Jack asked motioning to everyone else in and around the truck.

"That was actually just lucky. I knew that Humphrey alone could beat Garth's ass." I said as I was trailing a finger around the air conditioner in front of me for what ever reason.

"Haha, yeah he probably could" Shakey said, I totally forgot he was sitting next to me. I noticed Jack had his fingers wrapped under his muzzle looking like he was thinking about something. Everyone was kind of having there own conversation about everything that was going on and giving their opinions to each other until Jack finally spoke up.

"Alright… hold this" he said as he threw his vape to Humphrey in the back who caught it with loose hands like it was going to explode.

"I don't want it!" Humphrey said as he threw it to me and I threw it back to him

"Well, I don't want it!" I said throwing it back to him and we played hot potato with it for a bit until Jack said

"Guys it's not a fucking bomb." After he said that he opened the door and got out.. going straight for Garth.

"Shit." I said as we all got out of Mooches truck and walked with him.

"Garth…" Jack started "I'm sorry I almost dropped you."

"It's cool bro."

Garth's P.O.V:

This is going to be easier than I thought… haha
