Author: So this story has only a few more chapters left. I thought maybe I could make something out of it that was in my head, but its not really working so I am just going to end it soon….sorry to all who liked it.

PS Also this is the chapter you have been waiting for…the party! :) Enjoy!

Bryant didn't sleep much that night. She was too worried about what was going to come the next morning. She looked out her window and stared at the stars in the sky. It hadn't snowed all day, which made her happy. She closed her eyes for a second and she was gone. She drifted off to sleep thinking about Elijah and Kade coming to see them. Was it a good idea? Was it the right time with everything that was going on? Christmas was only a month away, she wouldn't be in school for another month, it had to be ok. What she didn't notice, was the night began to get colder outside and soon it would start to snow again.


Kade had it hidden behind his back as it was soaking through his gloves freezing his hand. He smiled because he knew she would be coming around the corner any minute with snowballs in her hand ready to throw them at him. Elijah, Micah, Skylar, and Bryant all ganged up on him when he got out of the car. It was war this time, he was going to nail every one of them, starting with the accomplice. He knew it was her idea to start the snowball fight. She came around the corner but nothing was in her hand. She looked at him with hurt in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" he replied not moving.

She didn't answer him. "Bry, what happened?"

She still didn't move. He dropped the snowball that was behind back and hurried over to her. He grabbed her by her shoulders and lifted her chin for her to look at him. "Its ok you can tell me."

A huge smile came across his face, but it was too late for him. He was confused at first, but when he turned around Elijah had nailed him in the face with a snowball. He heard a giggle behind him, but it stopped when he jerked around to her. He looked down at her, but couldn't help but smile seeing how scared she was. He moved fast, grabbing her in his arms. She started screaming as he tickled her in the snow.

"Eli help me!" she screamed through her laughs.

"Nope, he can't help you."

"I surrender!" she yelled, but he didn't stop. Then in one moment, time seemed to stop. Everything seemed to move in slow motion, as she looked up at Kade. They didn't even have time to react, it happened so fast. So much noise, no time to even remotely breathe. It caught them all off guard.

BANG! BANG! BANG!


Bryant shot up in the bed. She quickly looked around the room to see where she was until she slowly laid back, trying to calm herself down. Her pillow and sheets were damp, maybe from crying or sweating, even both. She looked outside, the sun was just coming up in the sky, shining right into her room. She noticed the snow hitting the window. She closed her eyes and tried to block out the dream. That day was the day she began hating the snow. She hated every winter in West Virginia, but it didn't snow like it does in Detroit. It didn't seem to stop here. She groaned as she rolled out her bed, letting her bare feet touch the freezing cold floor. She heard a door being shut as she opened hers.

"Hey you!" Jack replied running his hands over his head. Bryant looked at him before shaking her head.

"Clothes would be great Jack." she replied walking away from him.

"I just woke up." he yelled after her.

She walked down the stairs to see Bobby and Sofi sitting at the table.

"How's your arm?" she asked moving a chair from beneath the table.

"Owe!" Bobby yelled.

"Stop being such a pussy Bobby!" Sofi snapped grabbing more cotton balls. "It should be illegal for people to have dogs around you."

"Shut the hell up and clean my arm before I smack you across the face." Bobby yelled.

Bryant laughed. "You ok? You don't look too well." Bobby asked looking over at Bryant.

"Yeah, I just didn't get too much sleep last night. I was thinking about a lot of things."

Bobby went to say something but a noise from the kitchen caught him attention.

"Hey cops at the house!" Angel yelled.

"Shit! Sofi go get me something cover this up." Bobby demanded. "Hurry up!"

"What's going on?" Bryant asked.

"I don't know, but I bet its Green wondering about last night."

"What happened last night?" Bryant asked, but no one answered. "Bobby, what happened last night? Are you talking about when we went to the freakin ghetto? You said no one got hurt."

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about later on."

"What happened later on?" Bryant moved with him as he got up from the table. "Bobby answer me!" she yelled. He jerked around to her.

"Now is not the time!"

She glared at him as Sofi brought him one of his mother's robes. "You've got to be shitting me."

Sofi laughed as she handed it to him. Bryant crossed her arms across her chest as she moved with him into the living room.

"I need you to sit down and not say a word." he demanded. Sofi quit laughing as she saw Bobby snap at Bryant.

"I want to know what is going on." she snapped.

"I can't tell you right now." he whispered.

"Can we come in?" it was Greens voice coming from the kitchen.

"Bry, please." he begged. "I need you to not say a word ok?"

She shook her head.

"You're already in. Cops are always welcoming at the Mercers. It makes us feel all nice and cozy! Just the way we like it!" Angel had sarcasm all in his voice causing Bryant to laugh. She looked to her left and saw Jack come in, fully clothed. He looked at her and saw that she was pissed. He tried to ask what was wrong with his eyes, but Bryant turned away.

"Whooo, look at you." Green yelled.

"Yeah, Jackie wanted this number for himself, but I fought him for it."

Jack flipped him off before moving towards the chair by the door.

"What happened to your hand Bobby?" Green asked with a chuckle.

He looked down and saw the blood flowing across his hand. "Oh this, its our traditional turkey cut. You know what I am talking about Green. You know, just got a little carried away that's all."

"You haven't broken your promise about getting involved?"

"Of course not." Bobby smiled. "Just some hockey. Reliving some old memories Green. You know how it is."

"Yeah sure." Green smiled.

"Hey gretsky you know what this is?" Fowler snapped holding up something in a tiny bag.

"A hair from your wife's tit?" Bobby snarled with a smile.

"Try from your thick skull!" Fowler snapped back. "We pulled it off a pair of contract killers this morning."

"Pulling a confession with a phony hair, I thought you were better than that Green." Bobby laughed. Green laughed along with him moving a little bit more into the living room.

"Where's your car Bobby?"

"We left it at Jeremiahs." Sofi replied from the doorway.

"Yeah, we left it at Jerry's. You know Volvo's are safest car to drive when it's bad outside."

"Look Bobby, if you know something let us handle it." Green cut in. Bryant looked over at Jack who was staring at her from the chair. He gave a gentle smile, but she just continued to stare. She had no clue what happened last night.

"I'll know they found my hair on a dead body when I hear the prison doors slam behind me boys."

"Wait, Green, how do you go from petty thug to contract killer? And if they were professional shooters like you say, they'd have never told us who they were working with anyway."

"You think you're pretty cute don't you? Yeah everyone thinks they are cute until I bust them in the mouth!" Fowler moved towards Angel, fist in the air. Bryant grabbed a hold of Bobby's arm a she saw Fowler move towards her brother. Jack moved to help his brother, but Green jumped in.

"Get your boy Green!" Angel yelled.

"Ok, enough! If you got something Bobby, tell me. Don't go trying to take on Detroit your damn selves. You keep knocking on the devils door long enough, someone is going to answer you!"

Bobby nodded his head with the same smirk from before.

"We'll show ourselves out." Green grabbed Fowler by the shoulder and moved to the door.


"What in the hell is going on?" Bryant yelled jumping off the couch. "Killing people now?"

"Bryant, I need you to calm down." Bobby told her.

"No, I am far beyond calming down. You need to tell me what the fuck is going on!"

"Watch your mouth!" Bobby pointed his finger at her.

"What did you do?" she snarled.

"We just handle some business that needed to be handled that's all."

"Did you kill someone?" she asked softly. "Bobby, don't you lie to me. Tell me the truth."

He sighed before answering. "Yes."

Bryant turned away finding herself loss of breath. "It was the guys who killed Ma, B. We found them and they tried to kill us, so we had to kill them first." He moved over to her.

"This is such bullshit. You said no one was going to die and now there is two people dead and two cops who know that you did it."

"No one knows anything." Angel replied.

"I cant believe this is happening. You know you just opened a door that never should have been opened in the first place. People are going to come after us now. You promised me none of us would get hurt!"

"I am going to keep that promise. No one is going to get hurt." Bobby grabbed her shoulders, making her look at him.

"I don't believe you." she whispered. "You've changed. All of you have." She gently moved away from him and walked away with her arms wrapped around her body. She felt the tears begin to flow down her cheeks. "I want to go back to West Virginia."

"What?" Bobby couldn't believe it.

"No." Jack whispered.

"I want to go back really bad." She tried not to cry so hard, but the tears kept flowing. "I thought I was safe here, but it doesn't seem that way anymore."

"Stop." Jack begged. "You are just mad."

"I am going to get a ticket this afternoon and I am going to leave tomorrow morning."

"Bry…" Angel started.

"I don't want to hear it anymore. You guys killed two people in cold blood last night, while I was sleeping. I am going to go call Elijah and I will be leaving in the morning."

Bobby didn't move from his spot. "You need to look inside yourself Bobby and find out what's really important in life, because if you don't, you are going to lose something you cant get back." With that, Bryant walked upstairs to her room. She covered her mouth as she sat on her bed and sobbed. She couldn't believe she just said she was leaving. Did she really want to? She picked up her phone, but a soft tap on the door caught her off guard.

The door slowly came open. She remained seated on her bed with the phone ready to call Eli.

"You want to know what happened that night at the party, Jack?" she asked not looking up at him. She sniffed back the tears as they fell on her hands as she kept them moving in front of her. "It was just supposed to be a party of people from school, but the word got out and everyone was showing up. Benson's house was packed when me and Kiera got there. But it was ok. Everyone was dancing and just having a good time. Kiera had left me to go find Benson, that's when I felt his hand on my shoulder. Lucas Allen. The hottest guy in Detroit High. He had asked me to go earlier in the week, but I didn't think it would be ok at home because of Bobby, being the person that he is." She gave a little laugh as she wiped her face. "We were dancing in the living room, when I got thirsty. So we went to the kitchen. I was scared to drink so I got a coke, but he got punch from the bowl. He later told me, it was vodka, and punch. We had gone outside to talk and get some air, when he started kissing me." She looked up at Jack who was just standing at the door.

"I was ok with it." She smiled as tears streamed down her face. "I liked him a lot, and I didn't want to not doing anything with him to make it seem like I was a loser."

Jack closed his eyes leaning his head against the door.

"So we made out for a long time, stopping every now and then so he could get some more drink. I swear that boy probably drank five glasses of that punch. He was so wasted by midnight. He gave me some and I started drinking it too. Before I knew it, I was drunk too." She covered her face ashamed. "I never meant for it to happen but it did. It was like something inside of me telling me it was bad though, so I told him I probably needed to go home. He said the party had just started and I didn't need to leave. I really liked him Jack, you have to understand that. I never knew it would go too far." She cried. "We had walked to the stairs and my mind was screaming at me to stop, like it knew what we were about to do, but my body didn't listen. I told him I wasn't like that and that I needed to go find Kiera and go home. He told me she was upstairs and I believed him. Like a freakin idiot I believed him. How could I be so stupid?" she shook her head looking back down at the floor. Jack still didn't move from the door.

"We went upstairs and I started to not feel good. Everything started to become hazy and I just wanted to sit down for a little bit. So we went into a room and he laid me on the bed."

Jack shot up from the door he was leaning on and walked to the center on the room. He was pissed.

"I didn't know what was going on. I kept saying stop and no, but it was like it wasn't coming out of my mouth and it was echoing in my head instead. I kept feeling my side vibrate, but I couldn't get to my phone. I felt like I was paralyzed. Bobby had called earlier but I didn't answer, because I was afraid he would make me come home and be angry with me if he knew I was at a party."

She looked over at Jack. "After he was done, he laughed at me and left the room. I still couldn't move, but instead I threw up all over the floor. I didn't know what to do, I couldn't go home because I was so scared." She began to sob as she stared down at her hands. They had began to shake and clam up.

"I wanted so bad to make it go away." Jack ran his hands over his face as he paced back and forth in her room. "Evidently he had left the party after everything because he was walking along the side of the road when I saw him. I had left too, without Kiera. I just needed to go somewhere, try to get it out of my mind before I went home. I was walking along the side of the road when I saw him at the bridge. He was looking over it, throwing bottles over like nothing had ever happened. Before I knew what was going on, a car came flying by and ran straight into him knocking him off the bridge and into the water below. I can still hear him screaming, but I didn't move from my spot. It was like my heart wanted me to see him suffer. I knew he was dead, I didn't need to look at his body, but I still couldn't move. I felt a pair of hands come wrap around my body and lift me off the ground and put me in the car. He had sped all the way home screaming at me, but it was like I wasn't there. I could hear him, but it was so far away."

"Bobby." Jack whispered.

She nodded her head "He came out of nowhere and ran into him, full speed. Never in my entire life have I seen someone so mad before."

"He protected you."

She nodded her head again. "I found out a long time after everything had happened that someone heard me yelling in the room, but they didn't do anything. That's what makes me so angry is no one did anything to help. I don't even remember yelling." She sobbed. "Bobby had found out that I was there and came to bring me home when the guy that heard me told him that I had left because some guy had raped me upstairs. He told Bobby the guy's name, and Bobby left mad as hell and ready to kill someone. I don't even know how he knew where we were. It was so fast, him coming around the corner. He hit him so hard, I don't even think he touched the brake." She sniffed back the tears and wiped her face. "He brought me home to ma and immediately told her everything that happened. You were upstairs in your room and Bobby wouldn't let you come down. I remember Ma, holding me in her arms for hours as I cried and cried. She never let me go, not once." She looked up at him. "I will probably never get over what happened that night because it was something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I refuse for something like that to happen again."

"It wont." Jack retorted.

"I'm not meaning the rape, I'm meaning watching him kill someone else in front of my eyes."

"He did it because he loved you." Jack sounded so hurt.

"I know he did." She whispered. "I know that and I love him for it, but it's still in my mind. I can still see it happening in my mind over and over. Ma kept the newspaper clippings in her bottom drawer. It was all over the news for days, people trying to figure out what happened, who killed him, but nothing ever turned up. Bobby hid everything so well. I still don't know how he did it. I refused to talk to him about it, to anyone for that matter. It wasn't something that I wanted people to know. Bobby was so upset afterwards, everyday, he hardly looked at me. I knew he was scared. I knew he loved me, but he decided to leave and not talk about it."

"I'm so sorry." Jack replied.

"I need to leave Jack. I need to get away for a little while, until everything calms down."

"No you don't. He made sure last night that you didn't go with us because he knew what was going to happen. You weren't suppose to find out the way you did. We didn't know Green and Fowler were going to show up unexpected."

She turned her head away. "I wish this never happened."

"Me too, but you cant leave. I need you here."

She looked at him as he looked at her with so much sorrow in his eyes. "You are my sister and my best friend. I need you here with me ok."

She nodded her head. "Ok, Jack." She whispered. He pulled her head into his and kissed her forehead.

"You are not going to get hurt ok. I promise you with my life, I wont let anything happen to you again."

"Thank you." She whispered as tears streamed down her face. She held onto him a little while before speaking again. "I miss ma so much Jack. I think about her all the time and I just want her here with me, holding me in her arms. When she left that night to go to the store, Kade had called me. I had been thinking about him earlier, and then he called. I was so mad at him, but I really wanted to talk to him so I didn't go to the store with her. I should have gone."

"No." Jack whispered.

"I should have. Maybe this wouldn't have happened to her if I would have gone with her. Instead I wanted to talk to someone who didn't give a rat's ass about me. I was so mad at him that I yelled at him and hung up on him. Before she left she told me if I needed her to call her and she would be right back. But she never came back. I called and called and called all night after she died. I wanted her to answer so badly, but she never did." She sobbed in his shoulder. "I blame myself so much because I feel like I should have gone with her."

"You would have gotten shot to, Bry." Jack whispered. "She was killed on purpose, meaning if you were there they wouldn't have cared. They would have killed you along with her."

"Ma was always there for me, and I wasn't there for her at a time she needed me the most."

"She was a strong woman. She wouldn't have wanted you to go either."

"What are we going to do with out her?" she sobbed. Jack pulled his sister closer to him.

"I don't know baby. I don't know." He whispered, holding her head in his hands. "We are going to get through this, I promise."

She gently lifted up off of him and wiped her face. "So now you know…"

He gave a gentle laugh. "Yeah, I think I didn't know sooner because Bobby was pretty pissed that I let you go to that party. He had tried to kill me to tell him where you were. It was when he punched me in the nose that I finally told him."

Bryant laughed softly as she rubbed her hands over her face. "He's very persuasive isn't he?"

Jack laughed. "Yeah, I guess."


There was a soft tap on the door. Jack gently let go of Bryant's hand and looked up. "Hi." Bobby whispered.

Bryant wiped her face. "Hi." She whispered back.

"Can we talk please?" he asked walking in.

Bryant nodded her head but didn't say anything. "Jack, give us a minute." Bobby told his younger brother.

"Okay, I'll be downstairs." He told her, rubbing the side of head. She nodded her head before he got up and left the room.

"I am so sorry." Bobby replied sitting down on the bed. "This wasn't suppose to go this far."

"Yes it was." Bryant replied.

"No, it really wasn't. I just wanted to find out who robbed the store, not find out that it was all a set up. You were never supposed to find out about the killers we killed last night."

"When I was a little girl, me, Kade, Micah, and Elijah were having a snow ball fight outside Kade's house. We had all ganged up on Kade when he got home from work by throwing snowballs at him. He had tried to get us back, but I had that boy wrapped around my finger and I got him back instead. He had me on the ground tickling me, when all the sudden gun shots went off around us. We didn't even have time to react, it happened so quickly. He was on top of me in a heartbeat, protecting me. I can still hear the screaming some times in my sleep. Eli, had got hit in the arm, but no one could move. It seemed like it went on for a lifetime. I had never been so scared in my entire life, that is until now. I thought I lost him just like I keep feeling that I am going to lose you guys."

"You will not lose us."

"You don't know that. Those shooters came out of no where. They ruined a perfectly good day without even a hint of what they were about to do. Do you not think that's going to happen here?"

"I don't know what's going to happen anymore. Maybe nothing will. But I do know nothing will happen to my family again."

Bryant just stared at him. "Don't look at me that way." He told her.

"I just want it to end."

"It will, but you aren't going anywhere."

Bryant went to say something, but Bobby kept talking. "I will tie you to the damn bed and only feed your bread to make you stay. You are so damn stubborn you know that!"

Bryant smiled. "I want you here with us, with me. I can't protect you if you are in West fucking Virginia."

"I'm not going anywhere Bobby."

"Damn right your not."

Bryant laughed "You owe me big time though."

"Whatever." He replied shoving her before getting off the bed. "Now the boys and I have something to handle. No one is involved this time, we are just going to look around."

She couldn't help but smile. "Never ends."

"You can come if you want or you can stay here with la vida loca."

"I think I'll take my chances with her. You go be the hero."

He chuckled. "Don't you dare listen to a damn word she says and don't take anything from her." They both laughed as they walked down the stairs.

"Come on you guys lets go!" Bobby told his brothers. Jack and Angel walk to the door but Sofi steps in front of Angel with a puppy dog look on her face. "Do I recall something about having dinner together? Because I seem to remember spending two hours in the kitchen"
"Sofi, baby..."Angel started
"Angel! You promised that this time, things would be different." Sofi whined
"Ay, mami. You're breaking mi corazon." Bobby said in a sad voice holding his heart.

Sofi glared at Bobby before walking away. "Yo just give me 15 minutes!" Angel begged

"You know, it's a cryin' shame when Jackie boy here is the only one who's down to ride. Come on, say goodbye to your big sister, Jack!" Bobby replied

"Come on just 15 minutes!" Angel begged again

"She's addicted…to what Angels dick did!" Jack sang before closing the door, but Bryant stopped it with her hand.

"You are not leaving me here with them two." Bryant replied.

Bobby looked towards the kitchen before motioning her to come. "Come on, but don't you touch a damn thing." Bryant nodded her head before shutting the door behind her.
