Sorry, I compltely forgot that I hadn't gotten the third part of this on here, so double update today

and probably no more updates this weekend, marching band competition tomorrow

"Dad. . .I can explain. . ." I tried to start, but he almost instantly cut me off

"Oh, I can explain perfectly well. Not only did you visit your cousin Cube, which I strictly forbid, you endangered Sugar and kissed her, which I also strictly forbid" He was fuming. If it was one of those lame cartoons, he would have steam coming out of his ears "I want you to get away from this house, and never come back again"

I blinked. Wait, what? Did he just kick me out? Holy shit he did. I was just kicked out of my own house. I turned around and skated away, trying to collect my thoughts. Really, I knew my dad thought I was irresponsible, but not enough that he'd kick me out.

The next few days just kind of passed like a blur. I just pretty much wandered, trying to figure out what the hell to do. I couldn't drag Sugar into this, no. And Cube? Was she even still alive? I didn't know anything

But then, my phone vibrated. It was one of those phones that could last for days if you kept it closed (my record was 8), so it still had a lot of juice left. I picked it up and opened it, and saw I had a text from Sugar

'I'm sorry. When it's over, I'll join'

I blinked. I wasn't really sure what the message meant (besides the sorry part), but I'm sure it was just a thing to try to cheer me up. Of course, I couldn't ponder over this for long, because I soon got a call from Cube. I clicked the answer button and put it to my ear

"Hey Garam" her voice was softer, not her usual hyper punk rocker voice.

"Hey Cube. How's it going?"

"I'm good. Poison Jam. . .they made me their leader. . .they said I looked like their former mistress. But, now you don't have to worry about me"

"I knew you'd be fine" I grinned

"Yeah. . ."

"Hey Cube?"

"Yes?"

"Sorry to intrude, but do you mind if I hang with you until I have someplace to go?"

"Yeah, I'll tell them not to touch you" The phone made a clicking noise, and the dial tone sounded. I closed the phone and stashed it back into my pocket.

When I reached Poison Jam's hideout (which was in the sewer, surprisingly enough), and found Cube, I knew she was different than before. Her hair was different, just straight black, and it was shorter, more cut off at the back. Her usual fire filled eyes now gave an ice cold stare, even when she didn't mean it. Had she really changed that much over the course of a couple days?

"Hello Garam" She gave a tiny smile as she skated up to me

"Hey" I grinned

"Why did your dad kick you out anyways?"

"For visiting you and kissing Sugar"

"I'm not surprised" She gave a tiny smile again

"Cube?" I asked

"Yes?"

"Are you ever going back to Rapid99"

"No"

"But, they're your original gang. . ."

"I can't, not like this. It's complicated, okay Garam" I could tell from her tone of voice that she was getting frustrated

I sighed, then hugged her and whispered "Stay strong Cube

"You should worry more about yourself" she whispered back

I let go of her and skated back to the entrance of the Sewer. I needed to find some way to get her from Poison Jam, some way. Like, another gang infiltrating them. What gang was strong enough and hated them a lot? Rapid99? No, they were too weak. The GGs? Poison Jam had been attacking they're territory a lot lately, but. . .they only had two members from what I had heard

I sighed, back to the drawing board
