"So who are we hitting?" Ace asked as he drove away.
"My fucking neighbour," Eyeball replied, "he told my Pop I pissed on his lawn."
"Did you?" Ace snorted with laughter.
"Yeah, but that's not the goddamn point."
"What did your father do?" Laura asked, a little frightened.
"Don't fucking show her," Ace warned Eyeball as he began to lift his shirt.
"Nothing I haven't had before anyway?" he shrugged, "I would've fought back but he'd try and kick me out of the goddamn house again."
Laura shivered, she still couldn't come to grips with all the violence she had never realised surrounded her.
"Will you shut up," Ace said slinging his free arm over her shoulder. He parked a street away from their target and sat Laura on the hood of his car.
"You keep guard of the car," he said.
"And let her miss out on the fun?" Eyeball said. "Bring her along."
"I don't want to stay here alone," she agreed, reaching out to grab Ace's hand.
"No deal babe," he said quickly kissing her on the forehead. "We'll be back soon."
A blackout involved shutting off a person's electricity, which forced them to come out of the house to switch it back on again. The first time they think it is just their house...until it starts happening again and again. When they guy get's so pissed off he starts looking for you it's time to run.
Eyeball had really hoped he could get Ace to come along because he could do it the fastest and also never had any problem getting away.
"Stupid asshole," Eyeball said lowly as his neighbour came out of his house a second time.
Meanwhile Laura had slid off Ace's car and sat down on the side of the road under a streetlight. She was cold and she had no idea where Ace and Eyeball had gone.
"Excuse me, are you lost?" came a voice from behind her. She turned around to see a fourteen year old boy standing behind her.
Chris Chambers had only ever seen her from far away before but he knew instantly who she was, hell she was even sitting next to his car and even though he was aware that Ace might come along any minute he was compelled to make sure she was okay.
"I'm fine thank you," she said, "I'm just waiting for someone."
He could guess who that was, he started to walk away in the direction of his house when she stopped him.
"Don't go away," she said. "I'm sorry I just a little spooked, I don't really know this street and my friends have gone off somewhere."
"Where did Ace go?" Chris asked, sitting down next to her.
"How did you know that's who I was waiting for?" Laura asked, surprised.
"That's his car," Chris said pointing to it.
"Oh right," Laura said feeling stupid. "He's doing something called a Blackout," she shrugged. "Do you a person named Eyeball?" she asked.
"That's my brother," he said.
"Oh really? Well it's your neighbours house that they are doing it to, whatever it is."
Chris sighed in annoyance, this meant he couldn't go home right now without risking getting blamed for the whole thing. It was probably a good thing he had run into her.
"My name's Chris," he said remembering he hadn't introduced himself.
"Laura," she replied, shaking his hand.
Chris couldn't comprehend it, she was actually nice.
"Hey kid," came a voice from above them, "you're in my spot."
"Hey you're back," Laura said happily closing her arms around her boyfriend.
"Have an interesting chat with my girl Chambers?" he asked, cocking one eyebrow.
"She was scared you asshole," Chris replied glaring at him, "maybe you shouldn't leave her in the street."
Ace went to step forward but Laura clung to him. "Don't be mad," she said, "I asked him to stay."
She felt horrible, she had never meant to get him in any trouble. He had been so kind.
"Hey it's my kid brother," Eyeball said joining them. He had run a different direction to Ace.
"Come on, we're leaving," Ace said with finality, opening the driver's side door.
He gave Eyeball a lift back to the diner and drove to his own house. He raised his finger to his lips before unlocking his front door and sneaking her into the house.
"I haven't had you in my bed for ages," he said as he started to slowly undress her.
"It's freezing," she said, goosebumps forming on her arms and legs as her dress fell to the floor. Her teeth started to chatter.
"I know baby," he said lifting his bed covers and tucking her in. He stripped down and got into the bed next to her. "You weren't scared were you?" he asked her.
"When?" she asked.
"Back there in Eyeball's street."
"Oh, no. A little nervous maybe," she admitted.
"I should've locked you in," he said reaching under her petticoat, "kept you warm," he whispered, his warm breath stinging her cold ear. He unhooked the back of her bra and pulled it, along with her petticoat, up over her head. He rolled her onto her side, stroking his arm lazily over her stomach before he hooked his thumb under her panties and pulled them down her legs.
He pulled her back onto his chest, reaching his other arm around to softly stroke her breast whilst his other hand ran slowly up her thigh, pausing to reach between her legs and slide his fingers between them.
Laura began to feel the familiar tingling sensation in her stomach as he rubbed her, faster and faster. She went to cry out when she felt his hand leave her breast and slide over her mouth.
"Shh," he whispered, "you have to be quiet doll."
She nodded and he returned his hand to her breast, beginning to kiss her neck. She continued to breathe heavily, feeling her muscles tensing every time she wished she could cry out. She was starting to feel so hot when she felt the release and slumped over a little.
"You feel warm?" Ace asked her, brushing her hair away from her face so he could kiss her.
"I feel wonderful," she smiled.
