Hey guys! Sorry about another late chapter. My computer was being stupid and wouldn't let me do anything without being ridiculously slow. But now that problem is solved! Wooo! Also, who else but me has noticed that Duck looks a lot like Irresponsible Dad's kid in happy wheels?
Lee watched Carley as she disappeared into the front section of the RV. A few moments later after she "persuaded" Kenny to let her drive, the man stumbled over to Lee. His whole face drooped with fatigue, mustache and all. He leaned against the wall, his hand on his forehead.
"Your girlfriend is one tough bitch," Kenny sighed. A small, artificial smile pulled at the side of his mouth, but his eyes were dark and cold, "She won't let me drive the fuckin' RV."
Lee looked up at Kenny, the surprise obvious on his face. Lee wasn't even completely sure if he and Carley were together. How in the world would Kenny even know?
Kenny smirked, "Yeah, I saw you two on the balcony at the motor-inn. She kissed you on the cheek."
Lee smiled involuntarily. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't even realized that Carley had liked him any more than a friend until that point. They had just been talking and she kissed him. He had always known he had feelings for Carley, but he hadn't acted on them. It shocked him that she was the one to make the first move but, after all, she was Carley, and she was not one to sit around and wait when something could be done.
Lee's face flamed and he looked at his feet. Then, realizing that this was Kenny he was talking to, the same Kenny who had a bitten son in the front of the RV, he looked up.
"Kenny, I'm sorry about Duck-" Lee started, but was interrupted too quickly by Kenny.
"Duck is going to be fine. We'll find a doctor in Savannah and he will be fine, you'll see," Kenny's voice was decided and firm, but cracked when he finished his sentence. Lee could tell Kenny was hiding what he knew to be true.
Lilly, who had previously been laying her head down on the table, sat bold upright and looked at Kenny with wide eyes.
"Was Duck bitten?" she asked, getting the message. She sounded nervous.
"Like you would care! I don't want any of your shit. Duck is going to be fine," Kenny shouted at Lilly. He was glaring at Lilly, but his eyes betrayed what his voice would not. Defeat.
Lilly paused a moment, her eyes scrunching up with anger. Lee knew what she was going to say before the words made it out of her mouth.
"Like my dad?"
Kenny froze for a second. He had never forgotten about what happened with Larry back at the St. John's Dairy. It wasn't something that a person could forget.
"I did what I had to with Larry, and you know it," Kenny's voice was dangerous. No, he wasn't yelling or shouting; No, he didn't snarl or growl. His voice was bitter and flat. That was when you knew when to stop.
Lilly dismissed that common knowledge without a second thought and practically screamed, "You didn't have to kill him! He was still ALIVE!"
The next person to speak was, surprisingly, Ben. He had been quiet ever since Lee had been shot. He was sitting across the table from Lilly, his head softly banging on the hard black table top.
"Just stop fighting will you?! Every time you two are around each other you guys fight! Just STOP!" Ben shouted right when Lilly had finished her sentence. His head was off the table, a small red mark evident on his forehead. Silenced by Ben's outburst, Kenny and Lilly both looked at Ben in shock. Ben had never talked like that. Ever.
The RV suddenly jolted to a halt. Carley's voice rang out loud and clear.
"Guys. We have a problem."
I will hopefully be updating again soon!
