*Drumroll* Without further ado, here is Chapter 5. Enjoy!


It has been about a month since BB returned from Houston; his dad has surprising kept up on the promise of trying to change for the better. Over the month, father and son have went to the movies, watched football games, and BB's dad even took the teen to a Comic Book convention—which surprised BB. To most people, it seemed like father and son have reconciled and are finally bonding.

"A month later, and it's still hard to believe all this is happening. Nothing has gone wrong." BB said on the phone to Kaitlyn—who called to make sure he was still doing alright.

"That's good. It still sucks that you won't be down here when school starts. Evan has been asking to see if you are doing alright." Kaitlyn replies to which BB laughs.

"Hopefully Evan's doing pretty well. It's almost as if I'm his best friend or something." BB says.

"Oh you are." Kaitlyn says as BB looks at his phone confused. "Don't look at the phone with that 'What the fuck' look. I don't know how to explain it either. You guys only knew each other for less than a week; Evan says it's some weird connection like you and he were meant to be best friends."

"That's a little weird, but who would tempt fate. Evan's a pretty cool gu…." BB says as his dad enters the room. "Katie, I'll be right back. Don't hang up."

"Hey dad. Did you need something?" BB asks as he puts the phone down and turns to him.

"Yeah. Do you think you would be able to fend for yourself for dinner tonight? I have a date with this girl after work and who knows how long I'll be." BB's dad explains.

"It's fine. I can manage for one night. Have fun." BB replies. Johnny nods and leaves the room. BB turns back on the bed and picks up the phone to talk to Kaitlyn.

"So…your dad has a date tonight. That's sweet. I wonder what type of skank he's gonna bang tonight." Kaitlyn says with her voice dripping of sarcasm. BB rolls his eyes.

"Come on! Be nice. Who knows? If he's changed his attitude, he might have changed his standards of the women he's dating." BB says trying to look on the bright side.

"Maybe. I'm gonna go. I'm meeting Seth at the gym. I'll talk to you later." Kaitlyn says.

"See ya later, Katie." BB replies as they both hang up the phone. BB rolls his eyes and punches his pillow "Why can't Kaitlyn be happy for me? Why can't she believe that my dad has changed for the better? I know she's looking out for me, but it's really annoying. He said he was going to change. He promised me…and he would never go back on his promise if he were serious." BB thought as rolled out of bed.


Later in the day, BB was returning home from picking up dinner. When he walked into the house, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Oh my god! I'm sorry! Should I…should I come back later? Or I should I sit outside and wait?" BB said stammering as he walked in on his father being straddled—presumably—by his date. Johnny chuckled and walked over to BB with the girl.

"Don't worry about it. We weren't doing anything." Johnny said—a little slur in his words. "I didn't realize you would be back so soon. Weren't you supposed to be eating with Uncle Steve?"

"Umm…yeah, but Steve had to cancel because he got called to the station. Is this the girl you went on a date with tonight?" BB asks motioning to the blonde standing next to his father.

"Yep. Let me introduce you to my date, Terri." Johnny says grabbing Terri by the waist. "Terri, this is my little son B…B…B…." Johnny stammers momentarily forgetting his son's name.

"Blaine." BB says staring at his dad awkwardly. "How the fuck could he forget my name? It's not like I'm his son or anything. He's either drunk off his ass or he's playing stupid to get points with this Terri. I don't smell booze, so it must be the second one." BB thought rolling his eyes.

"Blaine?" Terri asked and BB nodded. "That's a sweet name for a sweet kid. Nice to meet you." Terri said smiling. As BB extended his hand for a shake, Terri grabbed him by the arm, pulled him in, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. BB eyes widened as Johnny laughed.

"I tell ya, she's a friendly one, isn't she?" Johnny asked slapping BB on the back. BB's eyes got wider as he turned to look at his dad.

"Friendly is one way to describe it." BB managed to reply. "Quick question, dad. Terri is your date, right?" BB asks and Johnny nods. "Then who in the hell is that?" BB asks motioning to the brunette filing her nails on the couch.

"Oh her? She's one of Terri's friends from New Jersey. Miss Rinaldi. She came to visit Terri and I asked Terri to bring her along so she wouldn't be so bored." Johnny said itching his nose as Terri grabs him around the waist.

"Isn't he quite the gentleman?" Terri asks. BB fought the urge to roll his eyes at the moment, but did his best to stay polite.

"Umm…yeah…gentleman. Dad, I grabbed dinner on the way home, so I'm going upstairs to eat. You have…fun." BB says almost sprinting up the stairs to his room.

"This is ridiculous! How did I let you convince me to run five miles?" Kaitlyn said panting as she was walking up to the front door to Seth—who had been waiting for Kaitlyn for a few minutes.

"I need to get in shape for football season, so running is a good way to start. And…you kinda like me." Seth replies kissing her on the cheek.

"You're lucky I do, or I would have told you to fuck that running shit." Kaitlyn says catching her breath at the doorway. As she opens the door, her cell phone rings. Kaitlyn looks at the number and looks to Seth.

"It's Blaine. Is it cool if I take this?" Kaitlyn asks as Seth nods.

"Of course. I'm gonna run and get us something to drink. I'll be back." Seth smiles and goes to the kitchen as Kaitlyn answers BB's call.

"Hey, Blaine. What's up?" Kaitlyn asks.

"You sound like you just finished hyperventilating." BB says with a small laugh.

"A little bit. Seth convinced me to run five miles with him." Kaitlyn replies laughing.

"I'm impressed because you hate running. By the way, have you ever had moments where you are just creeped out by something and you really can't tell why?" BB asks sitting at the desk in his room eating his dinner.

"Yeah. Every time I walk by the Wyatt Family sheep farm. Why?" Kaitlyn replies sitting on the couch as Seth returns with two bottles of water.

"This is gonna be a weird conversation. First off, I walked into the house seeing my dad being straddled by his date." BB says.

"Holy shit, really? That is weird. You said first off…that means there's more?" Kaitlyn replies.

"A little bit. Dad also invited the date's friend along with them. I wonder if I walked in before all three were going to do something. You know…SOMETHING." BB says making air quotes as he holds the phone.

"SHUT UP BLAINE! THAT'S DISGUSTING!" Kaitlyn yells into the phone. "Nobody wants to imagine family members having sex, or walking in on it."

"No shit, Katie. That's not even the weirdest thing. I think that dad's date was trying to hit on me." BB says.

"Your dad's date? Hitting on you?" Kaitlyn asks before starting to laugh. "Blaine, don't you think that's a little crazy. Come on, his date is at least twice your age. Why would she hit on you?"

"I first had the same reaction, but as I started talking to my dad, I could feel like she was giving me the once over. Hell, when I first met her, I went in for a handshake and she kisses me." BB answers looking up at the ceiling.

"I don't think she has a clue that you're only sixteen. That's wrong on a few levels if you ask me. If my mom was single and her date was hitting on me, he'd probably be dead. Just saying." Kaitlyn says disgusted.

"I thought that, too; all my dad says was that she a very friend…." BB says before being cut off by a hand grabbing his phone and ending the call.

"Blaine? BLAINE!" Kaitlyn yells at the phone wondering where her cousin went.

"What happened with Blaine?" Seth asks.

"I don't know. He was about to tell me something, and then the call just ends. That's weird." Kaitlyn replies snuggling into Seth.

"Maybe there's a storm or something where he's at and the call just dropped." Seth replies. Kaitlyn nods as they start watching a movie.

"What the fuck was…." BB started to yell before being cut off by a voice. He turned around and saw that it was his dad's date—Terri.

"You looked tense downstairs, so I came up here to see if you were alright. I'm sorry if I scared you." Terri replies almost seductively.

"So you wanted to see if I was alright by sneaking in my bedroom and taking my phone? I was in the middle of an important call!" BB says getting annoyed.

"I see you're still tense. Let me give you a massage to loosen you up." Terri says smiling.

"Umm no thanks. I don't need a ma…." BB tries to say before being spun around in his chair and Terri starts massaging his shoulders.

"Don't be so uptight. I can feel it in your shoulders. You'll thank me for this later." Terri says starting to massage BB's shoulders.

"That's really nice of you, but I really know nothing about you. Besides, you're on a date with my dad and he's probably wonder…WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?" BB screams midsentence as Terri's hands are not on BB's shoulders. Somehow during BB's rant, Terri had unbuttoned the top two buttons of BB's shirt and stuck her hands down his tank top—rubbing his chest and his stomach.

"You must work out, don't you? I like what I'm feeling. And come on! You can't tell me that you don't like this. Besides, you're a good looking guy. Maybe you need to show off your body a bit more and you'll get a girl of your own." Terri says still groping BB. BB has had enough and he pulls Terri's hands—which have stalled WAY too long on his chest—out of his shirt.

"Thanks for the advice, but no thanks." BB says buttoning up his shirt. "First off, I'm not gonna parade myself around like a Calvin Klein model to get a girlfriend. Second, you are on a date with my DAD not ME! Probably the most important thing is that what you are doing right now is completely ILLEGAL! You might not be aware of this, but I am only sixteen and I DO NOT consent to this." BB screams at Terri.

"Oh, but you will, Blaine. You will." Terri replies.

"I highly doubt that. Now if you would just get out of my room." BB glares as he gets out of his chair and sits on the trunk in front of his bed.

"Ok. You made your point. I'm out of here." Terri says putting up her hands in surrender and starts leaving the room. BB rolls his eyes silently thanking God that she's finally gone, but he was quickly brought out of his thoughts when his right arm is pulled back and he hears a click. BB looks down at his wrist and sees that he was handcuffed to the wooden rungs of his bed's footboard.

"You're a stubborn little bastard. Let me tell you something. When I want something, I WILL GET IT." Terri yells as she handcuffs BB's other wrist to the footboard.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? You crazy BITCH!" BB yells as Terri slaps him across the face.

"I would be quiet and enjoy this if I were you. You aren't exactly in the position to be calling shots, and you won't be for a LONG while." Terri replies. BB glares at Terri as he tries to get out of the handcuffs, but to no avail.

"Why are you doing this? This is illegal! You'll be going to jail and registered as a sex offender! LET ME GO!" BB screams. Terri grabs his face and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"Now, Blaine, I really do like you. Since you want to know, I have a little bit of a reputation. People have called me a 'horny little she-devil'. I think that caught your daddy's attention. I had no doubts that I would get your dad tonight, but I didn't have a clue that his son was even cuter. I've never had a father AND son in the same night, so I figured why not and start with you. You're kind of like testing out a new car. Now shut up and enjoy this!" Terri says getting on the bed and pulling the rubber band out of BB's hair and running her hands through his hair before running her hands over BB's chest. BB was getting very close to vomiting.

"You are a sick human being. Rot in hell!" BB screams out. Terri smirks and gets off the bed. She walks in front of BB and starts to straddle him.

"I like you, but you are making it very hard to not use extreme methods against you. You can't tell me you haven't fantasized about being seduced by an older woman. It's just your dream coming true, Blaine. Just loosen up." Terri says starting to unbutton BB's shirt. After she does that, she grabs a pair of scissors of BB's desks and starts cutting BB's tank top. BB glares at the ceiling—thinking of a plan to get out of the situation, but things were looking dire for the teen.

"It's about time you started to loosen up. Was that so hard for you to do?" Terri seductively asks after cutting BB's shirts to shreds—leaving him bare chested. After she put the scissors back on the desk, she straddles BB and starts kissing his neck.

"You'll pay for this! My dad will be up here to see where you went. He'll find you attempt to molest his son and call the police so fast, your head will spin." BB says with anger and disgust clear in his voice.

"I HIGHLY doubt that. Your dad is way too enamored with me and life in general to worry about anything else. You're mine for now and I plan on finishing the job!" Terri says sliding in between BB's legs and starting to undo his belt.

"You're bluffing. You're a lying SLUT. Dad! DAD!" BB starts screaming to get his dad's attention as Terri starts removing BB's jeans.

"That's it! I've had enough of your talking and screaming. Time for extreme measures." Terri says walking by the bedroom and pulling a cloth and bottle out of a bag. Meanwhile BB is still screaming bloody murder to get SOMEBODY'S attention, but he is soon muffled by the cloth over his mouth.

"I told you I always get what I want; sometimes I have to result to the old chloroform trick. This should shut you up and knock you out long enough for me to finish." Terri says holding the cloth over BB's face—who is trying to fight out of it. "Damn, most virgins don't scream as much as you have. Do you EVER shut up?" Terri asks as BB's fighting becomes less and less before he is almost to the point of unconsciousness.

"About damn time you shut up. I said you would enjoy this and you will—even though you won't remember any of it." Terri says laughing as she finishes removing BB's jeans, leaving him in his underwear. BB feels a slight tug of his clothes before falling fully unconscious.


Sometime later, BB woke up lying on the bed. He tried sitting up, but the headache he had made it almost impossible.

"Oh my god!" BB said quickly lying back down and putting a pillow over his head.

"I see you're finally awake. I have some Tylenol for you, and it should help that headache." BB heard a voice say. BB removed the pillow and saw that it was the other girl in his living room—Miss Rinaldi.

"Thank you." BB replied taking the pills and drinking the water. When he looked down, he realized that he had nothing on but his underwear. BB yelled and pulled the covers over him to his neck with his face burning beat red. "Aren't you that other woman with my dad...Rinaldi?"

"Yeah that's me. I'm the friend of…." Miss Rinaldi said before being cut off.

"Oh my god!" BB said slowly remembering what was going on before passing out. He looked off the side of his bed and saw what was left of his shirts on the floor. "OH MY GOD!" BB screamed pulling the covers over his head.

"Are you alright?" Miss Rinaldi asked.

"No I'm not alright. What happened hours ago was not just a horrible nightmare and that whore my dad's dating tried to pretty much molest me in my own bedroom!" BB yelled pulling the covers off his face. "Speaking of whores, where is my dad?"

"They left to some hotel room. Didn't tell me a thing, and like I know my way around Tulsa. Actually what happened earlier is what I wanted to talk to you about." Miss Rinaldi said as BB got off the bed—covered with the bed sheet—to his dresser to put on clothes.

"I really don't want to talk about this. Especially with somebody I don't even know that well—no offense—it's just that what happened has happened and I can't change it. I was test driven by some crack whore, and even with all my screaming my dad didn't stop her." BB said putting on shorts and a shirt and packing a gym bag.

"Blaine. I really think I should listen to me." Miss Rinaldi said trying to reason with BB, but he was having none of it.

"So you can say what? That this was not my fault? That I didn't deserve it? Guess what? I've heard this shit before in assembly. I'm sorry to be rude, but it's nine at night and I REALLY don't feel like staying in this house tonight. I've gotta go." BB said grabbing his gym back and running out of the house as fast as possible. Miss Rinaldi looked at the teen with sympathy as he ran out of the room. When he was gone, she pulled out her cell phone and called a number.

"It's DM. I got what you needed. How long will it take?" Miss Rinaldi said as the voice on the other side answered. "Thirty-six hours? Hopefully that's not too long. Thanks." Miss Rinaldi said hanging up her first call and dialing a second number.

"Hey, Lethal, It's DM. Could you do me a huge favor? I need to meet me somewhere tomorrow at one in the afternoon, and I need you to bring somebody special. I'll text you the details. See you tomorrow." Miss Rinaldi answered hanging up her phone.


Twenty minutes later, a winded BB was knocking on the door of somebody's house. BB was banging frantically before somebody answered the door.

"What are you doing here, Blaine?" Uncle Steve asked as BB walked into the house.

"Sorry for being here so late. Is it ok if I stay here tonight? By the way, can I borrow your shower? The water pressure was low at our house and it wouldn't get the job done." BB said quickly and anxiously leaving Steve confused.

"Take a breath, Blaine. You know you're welcome to stay here anytime; you can use my shower. You don't look like you need one, though." Steve says inquisitively. BB laughs almost too quickly at the response.

"Oh believe me. I'm actually feeling really dirty right now. Running all the way here doesn't help matters either. Thanks so much Uncle Steve." BB says grabbing some clothes and rushing into the bathroom. Steve looks at the bathroom door wondering what is going on as he shakes his head and returns back to work at his desk.

When Steve hears the water turn off in the bathroom, he looks up from his work and waits for BB to get out of the bathroom. When he finally does, Steve sits next to BB on the bed.

"Is something bothering you?" Steve asks. Blaine looks at Steve and laughs.

"No. Why do you ask?" BB replies trying to hide his nervousness.

"It's just that you seem a little off. Like something has happened that you don't wanna tell anyone about. Did your father hit you?" Steve questions BB. BB shakes his head.

"No. He didn't hit me. I can honestly tell you that. Can we please change the subject?" BB asks anxiously as Steve puts his hands up in surrender.

"Ok. I understand. But since you are over here, do you think you can help me with something today?" Steve asks in return.

"Sure. I can help you. What do you need help with?" BB answers.


"You know when you asked if you needed my help with something, I was expecting something like moving furniture or a trip to Lowe's. I did NOT think you meant needing help with your grocery shopping." BB says as he walks behind Steve—who is pushing the cart through the aisles.

"Come on, Blaine. This isn't that bad. You look like you need to get out of your house and I need help with grocery shopping. Thanks in advance." Steve says looking behind him at BB as BB smiles in return. After they finishing the shopping, BB is helping Steve put his groceries in the back of his car when he catches a glimpse of someone he doesn't want to see.

"Oh my god. What the hell is she doing here?" BB says a little too loudly.

"What is who doing here?" Steve asks walking over to BB. BB points over to the lady walking closer to the car—Miss Rinaldi.

"Her. She was at our house last night. I don't know who she is, but she gives me the creeps." BB says as Steve looks at her. "Don't stare! She'll notice and walk over here!" BB manages to say before he was proven correct. Steve locked eyes with her and she was walking over to them.

"Lethal! Long time, no see! How have you been?" Miss Rinaldi says running over and hugging Steve.

"Been good. How have you been, DM?" Steve asks.

"Good. Glad to be back." Miss Rinaldi replies.

"Wait a second! You two know each other? When did you ever live in New Jersey?" BB asks Steve who laughs in return.

"I've never lived in New Jersey; we go back a few years." Steve replies.

"That's right. Officer Dawn Marie. It's great to finally tell you who I really am." Dawn Marie says extending her hand to BB—who shakes it questioningly.

"Wait? I am so confused. What's going on? Is your last name really Rinaldi?" BB asks holding his temples.

"No. Rinaldi is an alias. I specialized in undercover operations. I apologize for using underhanded tactics to get to talk to you, but there are some things you might need to know. First thing is what happened last night." Dawn Marie says before BB cuts her off.

"No need to bring that up! Please stop bringing that up! It happened, I feel disgusted, and now I have the urge to throw up. Just let me repress it like a normal teenager until I have to go to therapy." BB says trying not to scream and have people overhear.

"What happened last night?" Steve asks looking at BB with a look saying 'I knew you were hiding something'.

"His father's date—my friend Terri Runnels—attempted to engage in sexual activities with him." Dawn Marie said before being interrupted again by BB.

"Don't sugarcoat it. Say it as it is. I was molested. I was raped. I lost my virginity to some whore who was on a date with my dad. I was…." BB says in a frenzy before being interrupted.

"That's what I have been trying to tell you the last two days. Nothing happened!" Dawn Marie yells to get BB to stop panicking. BB stops talking and looks at her dumbfounded.

"Wait what? What do you mean nothing happened?" BB asks.

"That's what I was gonna tell you last night so you wouldn't fly off the handle. Terri would have done something if I hadn't stopped her." Dawn Marie replies.

"What exactly did you stop her from doing?" Steve asks Dawn Marie.

"Exactly what you are probably thinking right now." Dawn Marie says as Steve's eyes go wide. "I heard screaming downstairs, and I wondered what was going on. I excused myself to the restroom and went and saw what was happening. When I entered, I saw an unconscious kid handcuffed to the bed ready to lose everything. I confronted Terri and told her I would go to the cops if she didn't leave at that moment—she tried to fight back but I threatened to knock her teeth out."

"I can't believe this." BB said looking down at the ground with a mix of shame and embarrassment. Steve pats him on the back in comfort.

"I also wanted to explain why you felt so sick when you woke up hours later. She drugged you with a classic chloroform cloth. Chloroform has been found to cause headaches and nausea, so that's why you felt like you had a hangover. I completely understand why you panicked and ran away, but I just wanted to let you know that nothing happened." Dawn Marie said with a small smile.

"That also explains why you frantically wanted to use my shower when you showed up. Why didn't you tell me?" Steve asked.

"I didn't want my life to sound like some traumatic movie or soap opera. First this kid is abused by his dad then raped by his date. My life would sound like something you can only read about." BB answers. "Wait? If you could hear my screaming from downstairs, why couldn't my dad hear them as well?" BB asks Dawn Marie.

"You're not gonna like the answer. Are you ready for it?" Dawn Marie asks. BB gulps and slowly nods his head.

"It's because of two reasons. The first reason I'll explain later. As for the second reason, Terri and your father have actually been dating for some time. Hours after you left the initial meeting, all Terri could talk about was how uptight and tense you were. Your dad told Terri to give you some of her special 'stress reliever' and that you needed to loosen up." Dawn Marie admits.

"So…in a more blunt sense…my dad pimped me out to some skank?" BB asks her. She nods.

"When I explain to you the first reason, you will better understand the second reason. Blaine, when I ask you this I need a very serious answer. Blaine…has your dad EVER done drugs?" Dawn Marie asks as both she and Steve look at him. BB looks at both adults and looks back at the ground before giving his answer.

"…yes." BB quietly admits. Steve shakes his head as Dawn Marie nods in understanding.

"Do you remember when he was using them?" Dawn asks and replies with an almost robotic nod.

"I was twelve when I saw him the first time using drugs. I don't know how much he cared that I knew because I saw him multiple times until I was thirteen. I stayed with Uncle Steve for three months after that. I thought he was going to rehab, but I guess I was wrong." BB says sadly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Steve asks.

"Because I knew if I told you that it would be worse for me. I was afraid of how much worse it would be for me if I told anybody." BB admits.

"You brought up earlier that were abused by your father. Are you sure that the abuse wasn't brought on by the drug usage?" Dawn asks. BB felt like he was being interrogated and that the results would be traumatic for him; at that point, he didn't care and all he wanted to do was to shut everything down and be alone.

"He was always off of his high when those things happened. When he was on drugs…he was always so mellow and nice—I know it's weird. I feel so stupid that I didn't realize it when I first saw them together." BB says slapping his palm against his forehead before looking at Dawn Marie. "I am so sorry that I didn't give you the opportunity to say your peace yesterday. Also…thanks for your help. You really helped me put things into perspective."

"Don't worry about it and it was my pleasure to help you. I must be going. It was good to see you again, Blaine. Take care, Lethal." Dawn Marie said giving Steve a hug and walking away. Steve smiles and watches Dawn Marie walk away, but the smile quickly fades when he sees BB staring down at the ground with a dazed expression on his face.

"Blaine…are you ok?" Steve asks putting a hand on BB's shoulder—which snapped him out of his expressionless daze.

"I'm…ok. Ca…Can we just leave?" BB asks as Steve nods and unlocks the car. Moments later, they leave the store and drive back to Steve's house.


After arriving back at Steve's house and putting up the groceries, BB is lying on a bed staring up at the ceiling. Steve walks in and sits next to BB.

"Are you sure you are doing alright?" Steve asks. BB nods and sits up.

"Yeah. I'm fine." BB says unconvincingly.

"Who are you trying to fool? Me…or yourself?" Steve replies. BB opens his mouth to make a comeback, but he quickly realizes that there's no point in starting a fight.

"Is it that obvious?" BB asks and Steve nods. "I'm as good as good can be, but today put a lot of things in perspective for me."

"Like what?" Steve asks.

"I don't want to get into much detail, but I will say this. After tonight, things will most certainly change." BB replies getting off the bed. BB walks over to his gym bag and starts putting clothes in it.

"Blaine, what are you doing?" Steve asks confused.

"What I need to do has to be done now. Things will only get worse if I don't. I have to find the courage to stand up to my dad at some point in my life. Today is the day." BB says zipping up his bag and walking to the door.

"Blaine, you can't do this. Can't you think of a better way to do this?" Steve asks grabbing BB's shoulder.

"Probably, but right now nope. I'll see ya later." BB says patting Steve and walking out the door. Steve looks at the door with amazement; only has one thought going through his head at the moment.

"This is NOT going to end well."


Here is Chapter 5. The confrontation happens next chapter. As for the major scene in this chapter-sorry if it was horribly written or too raunchy. I had a scene kind of like this in my previous story and I wanted to make it more believable. Fun Fact: Dawn Marie used the last name Rinaldi when she first debuted with WWE, so that's where Miss Rinaldi came from. Stayed tuned for Chapter 6.

Hopefully you all are enjoying the story!
