Chapter Three
I get into bed and lay on my side so I can see Lew across from me.
"What did your dad get mad at you for?" I ask.
"Nothing, I just didn't do the dishes. He's an ass" he scoffs.
"Most fathers in Mangrove are" I scoff.
"True, anyways thanks for letting me stay over here all the time. You're a real good friend Bill" he smiles.
"No problem, I've known you since I was three, I will always be your mate" I smile.
"Yeah, I know, we going for a surf tomorrow since we got no school?" he suggests.
"Yeah and all the boys are meeting up as well but not Nic, he's gotta help his mum" I state.
"Alright, good night Billie" he smiles.
"Night Lew" I smile and then turn around and close my eyes to sleep.
I wake up, get changed into my bikini, board shorts and crop top then head down to the beach with Brax, Heath, Case and Lew. When we get down there we join all the other boys and rush into the water. We surf the waves, all trying to beat each other. After surfing we all head on to the beach and sit down just talking and being rowdy. Then, we all stop when Hammer and his gang start walking towards us. We all stand tall and as a group.
"I'm not here to cause any trouble, I'm just here to tell you that you have a traitor in your midst Braxton's" he smirks.
None of us say anything, just all stand glaring at Hammer and his boys.
"Come on mate, show em who you truly are" he adds.
Then, I feel someone move forward next to me. My heart breaks in two when I see Lew smirking and standing next to Hammer. I look at him shocked and mad.
"You...you're with him?" I stutter in shock.
"Hell yeah I am, why would I want to be with the River Boys?" he scoffs.
"You asshole!" I shout and storm towards him but I feel Case grab me and hold me back, "You liar! You are not my friend I never want to speak to you ever again!"
"Baby, we never were friends" Lewis scoffs with a smug look.
"That's it, you got who you wanted Hammer, now leave" Brax demands standing forward.
"I will, until next time boys" Hammer chuckles and then walks away.
I can't believe it. My best friend is not my best friend. I shake my head in disbelief, Casey is still holding me I jump out of his arms.
"Bill, are you-"
"I'm fine, just leave me alone" I shout mad and storm away.
I walk down further the beach and walk with my hands on my head. I hear a voice, then turn to see all of my brothers standing near me.
"How did this happen? Why did this happen?" I ask shaking, "He was my best friend...I've known him since I was three, we tell each other everything. Why, why would he do this?"
"I don't know Bill, I don't know" Brax shakes his head unsure.
"He didn't even care...he was smirking. He, he just was using me. I'm pathetic just like Danny said!"
"Don't listen to Danny, you are not pathetic-"
"Yes I am Case!" I yell cutting him off, "My own friend just left me and stabbed me in the back, my own father hits me and calls me his mistake and my own mother spends most of her time at the pokies!"
They all look at me, there's nothing they can say or do that will make me feel better. I sigh and collapse to the ground. I feel arms hold my shoulders, Brax.
"He was my best friend" I shake, then tears start pouring down slowly and I hug Brax tight.
After I vented, I walk home with the boys.
"Do you know where we are going to live in Summer Bay?" I ask curiously.
"Yeah I've got a place, I've also got a job waiting for me, I have to go for a meeting tomorrow" Brax states.
"Cool" I smile.
"Do we each get our own rooms, cause if I have to share with Bill again I don't thi-"
"Your getting your own room quit your whining Case" Brax scoffs.
I laugh, the boys joining in. We all walk in the house and into the living room. I see mum, drugs and alcohol all on the table, older guys filling the house.
"Heath, Case, take Bill somewhere else would ya? I'll clean this up" Brax instructs.
Heath nods, then Case puts his hands on my shoulders and directs me out of the house. I stand in front of Heath and Case.
"You wanna go get some pizza? It's lunch time" Case suggests."Is food all you think about?" I laugh.
"Yeah pretty much" he chuckles.
"Alright let's go, hurry up I'm hungry too" Heath groans and we all walk down to the pizza place.
