*that last chapter was quite the bomb drop so i will make this one more light hearted! Review please! And enjoy the story!*

(Brick POV)

It was a few days later (due to a short hospital stay by me) and getting back to work and paying bills was first priority as well as the girls. In that time I had refused pain killers so old habits would die hard. Boomer had a bit of a past with them, that's why he smokes weed. So we were on easy street for now. When we got to work i was swarmed by everyone trying to hear my piece of yesterday. I just ignored them and went to our changing room. To my surprise, i saw the girls waiting for us by our lockers. "Aren't you playing god coming back here?" I chuckled and Blossom smiled at me. That's when I fully remembered that I was trying to get with this chick, and tried (and failed) to keep a straight face.

"Do you guys want to hang out after work today?" Bubbles asked mostly looking at me like i was the ring leader of decisions. "Yeah sure, let's just hope this date won't get me shot again!?" I said jokingly and without thinking. I look at everyone to see shock plastered on their faces, so I just start to laugh, I had a habit of laughing when I was put on the spot. To my relief everyone else joined me (thank God!). "Why don't we just hit up at one of our homes?" Butch asked me and I kicked in the shin. I hoped he didn't overstep boundaries just now by asking that. "Oh thank god!" Buttercup yelled happily. Everyone looked at her expectantly and for the first time I think she blushed. "I hate chilling anywhere but home, besides its better than paying for watered down booze and watching god knows who fuck in the back of the bar" after her rant i heard butch click his tongue. "Kinky..." butch's comment almost got him a smack.

"Yours?" I asked blossom who again smiled. She nodded and everyone agreed with her "see you after the shift" the girls said and left. My brothers and i were in silence, and I look at them. They were both looking at my arm, i sighed "guys don't feel guilty for work related injuries" i see boomer shake his head causing me to raise a brow. "What?" I ask him curiously and that's when his good demeanor went away. " why did you refuse painkillers? I know it hurts..." he had a guilty look on his face, and by his questions I think he already knew why. " we promised each other we wouldn't bring that into the house... And that meant in all situations bro..." he's right it hurt like a motherfuker still did, in fact I shouldn't be at work right now... Well we had to make money somehow.

" listen man.. I'm clean now you shouldn't have to worry about me anymore..." Boomer looked like he was really beat up inside about this, well I would be too hell it was his first time at a party and they get him addicted to painkillers. It was a part of the job... at the beginning of this when I mentioned drugs those were the kinds I meant (4th wall break!) deep down I'm glad these weren't the kinds I meant. We went out and did our routine not talking much after that, it really sucked. Even though the money is good, and the girls came out of this job... I don't want to do it forever.. and after what happened just a few days ago it made me realize how dangerous sex business is.

In the beginning it was all about girls, about drugs and about the money... Sure I've matured enough from this job, but it took luxuries of a normal life away. We were exposed to literally anything you could think about, and sexual assault was a daily occurrence in this job. You just couldn't live normally, and I guess it took these girls hanging out with us for me to see this. so in a couple days I was going to discuss this with my brothers. Because I never really asked what they wanted to do. They always look to me as the ringleader and I guess it was time for me to take that role in a better light. when we were about to leave the all the girls asked if I really wanted to go and I just nodded, besides I really needed the time to hang out with normal people in a normal setting.

when we got there Buttercup instantly poured us their strongest alcohol, and after a couple drinks I noticed a pain in my shoulder started to go away so like any sane person I drank more. the chat here was much nicer, we actually got to know them better than trying to yell to them over the pounding music in the background. It was like what normal guys do hanging out with their girls, and I just started to hope that a week maybe a month that I could actually just let Blossom take every bad thing away from me. " bro slow the fuck down!" I see Butch look at me all worried and I just chuckle, guess the booze was getting to my head. That's when a drunk bubbles said something that made the most sense to me right at this moment.

" hey so we're not just drinking why don't I bring down my karaoke machine and we could go nuts" after she said this I jump up and nod wordlessly I think I scared everyone else but bubbles was into it. She ran up the stairs & I couldn't help but feel a little giddy. I got the very big urge to rap, which I only did around my brothers. so when the blonde brought in the machine I took it from her and set it up. I plug my phone into it so everybody could get their choice of song Through the karaoke machine. it was like one of those ones you hook up to your TV and the lyrics of the song play on the screen.

We were very drunk, so everyone got up and did their peace and sang their favorite songs. Buttercup sing a song called whore by in this moment and got a really really good response from Butch. Blossom and Bubbles decided to do love the way you lie in a duet, blossoms rapping skills are fire! Butch... did screamo... Of course. Boomer did his own version of Katy Perry, he was very drunk. and I broke down some Eminem everybody seemed to respond well to my rapping. Blossom was up and clapping by the end of it I don't know just felt so alive at the moment. I wanted to ditch my old life and just start new.

the karaoke party turned into us having our own dance party in the living room. things got heated by the end of it I'll just say next thing I look at was Buttercup becoming "the girl at the back of the club " as she was making out with Butch on the couch. It all just came crashing down oh, and that it was me and Blossom passionately going to a room and... to be continued
