David

I could not tell if I was angry or upset that Thana had walked away from me like she did. I was standing in the corner drinking my beer wondering what the hell happened not even five minutes ago.

We were having a good time well at least I was. Then I had to go open my big mouth and piss her off. I have not known her long but I did know it was easy to make her angry and I should have known better then to try to tell her what to do.

Why did I even try to tell her what to do? It really was not my place to say anything. She was rite I did not know her or own her. And it was only one dance not an invitation to marred. So why am I acting this way?

I just really hate Jared. I told myself. Even though it was true I knew that was not the reason.

Holly crap. I like Thana. The thought completely bothering me. How the hell did that happen?

I knew Jared all too well. He my brother and I used to be inseparable. I even used to be friends with Izzy, Stella, and Allen. I still could not believe after what happened that they all still talk to him. In reality I knew they only tolerated him. The girls and Allen needed him. He was the singer to their band. And my brother well he was never the type to turn down money and Jared brought him money. In more ways than one.

But Jared is not a good guy and I did not want him around Thana. I know how he is especially with the girls. He is going to eat her up and spit her out. She will not even know what hit her. He's a crappy man, a shitty friend, and the worst type of boyfriend you could ask for.

He was probably trying to get into Thana's pants rite now. I pushed the thought out of my mind not liking the amount of rage that was building in my body.

"Hey." Someone said from next to me.

I turned to look at my brother.

"What?" I yelled at him.

"Hey don't get snippy with me. I just came over to tell you that I don't know what you said to her but if it's bothering you that much why don't you go apologies." He told me before walking away like that was the end of that conversation.

Apologize. Did I do something that I should apologize for? I don't think I did but she obviously does. I did not want her mad at me. I at least needed to be her friend if for anything to try to way more discreetly keep her way from Jared. My feet started leading me to the back room before my brain even registered what I was doing.

Once I made it into the back room I realized what a mistake this had been.

Thana was startling him on the couch. His arms wrapped around her waist as his disgusting lips where all over her neck and chest. Her head was tilted back letting a small moan out through her lips. I could not help the anger that filled me replacing my state of shock when I heard him make her moan. I took another step forward not even realizing it. She must have seen me then because her head shot up and around as she looked at me. Making direct eye contact.

I could not tell if I wanted to pull her off him and drag her out of the room. Or pull her off him and beat him to a bloody pulp. That was until he looked up at me and plastered a smug grin on his face.

I wanted nothing more than to break his jaw so he would never smile at me again. I knew I could do it to but fighting was against my probation. So is drinking. I told myself trying to talk myself into doing something that a few months ago I would not have even thought off. If this was a few months ago he would be knocked out by now, and he knew it.

I so desperately wanted to punch him so I did the only thing I could think of. I punched my first rite through the wall. I removed my hand from the wall completely ignoring the pain and blood that was spilling from my knuckles and stormed out of the room.

I got halfway across the parlor before Steve stopped me.

"What the fuck David stop putting holes in my fucking walls!" He yelled at me.

"Shut the fuck up!" I yelled back at him.

Getting in his face hoping that his temper would get the best of him and he would hit me. I knew we both had the same explosive temper and I also knew he would be the only person in this room I could hit and he would not hold it against me later.

He just looked back at me calmly.

"If you want to go hit something go hit the punching bag in the garage." He told me before turning away from me.

I had not been in the garage sense my prohibition officer told me I could no longer fight. There was no reason to train if I was no longer able to compete. In both matches legal and illegal. I was good to, a great fighter. Just another thing that Jared took away from me.

I through my beer across the room. Getting a few screams and hollers from people in the way of my cup. All of them shut up when they realized it was my cup. Not wanting to set me off. I pushed my way through the crowed and upstairs shambling the door shut behind me.

I did not even bother to take my shoes off before entering the house Steve will just have to deal with it. I walked out to the proceed and got my pack of cigarettes off of the table and lit one up. I only ever smoke when I was angry. And somehow I have already smoked half a pack tonight. I guess I am rather angry tonight.

I was starting to enjoy the silence when I heard a sound behind me. It sounded like something was vibrating behind me. I looked over to the table in my living room. There was a small purse sitting there and it was moving slightly.

I walked over and opened it up seeing a phone inside. I pulled it out to see a picture of Scott McCall on the screen. It was a side shot of him and he defiantly did not know the picture was taken. This must be Thana's phone.

The call ended and I could see that she had seven missed calls and fourteen texts all from Scott.

I let curiosity get the best of me and scrolled through her texts.

"Hey I tried to call no answer. Call me when you get this."

"Call me asap."

"Thana pick up your dam phone!"

"This is important."
"Where are you? Why are you not answering?"

There were a few more texts all getting more frantic and angry. I was happy to see I was not the only person Thana drove crazy. The phone started to vibrate in my hand. Again Scotts face was on the screen. I answered it before I even realized I was thinking about it.

"Thank god Thana. I have been trying to call you for over an hour. Are you okay?" He asked into the phone sounding very concerned.

"Hey Scott it's not Thana." I answered not knowing what to say to him.

"Who is this?" He asked.

His voice had lowered a few octaves and the worry was instantly replaced in his voice by anger. The kind of anger I only ever herd in my own voice. Any other person would have hung up the phone not wanting to let this crazy man on the other end know who they were. But I was not anyone.

"David." I told him.

The line was quite for a minute while he took a second to take in what I told him.

"Why do you have my sister's phone?" He asked in the same tone as before.

"Just found it. She's at a party that my brothers throwing, at our place." I told him.

"You have got to be kidding me." He said under his breath through the phone.

It was no secret what kind of party's my brother through. It was more than obvious Scott had no idea this is where she was coming tonight. He was not happy about it.

"Put her on the phone." He demanded.

"Can't do. She's down stairs she must have left it up in my house." I told him.

I could bring her the phone but truthfully I did not want to go back down there.

"When did she leave her phone in your house?" He asked me. That crazy angry voice had come back.

"Earlier. Listen don't make a big deal out of nothing. But you're probably going to want to come get your sister." I told him.

"Why I thought she was there with her friends?" He asked.

"Yeah her friends, who have got her drunk, gave her coke, and the last time I saw her she was straddling one of them while he had his lips all over her." I said through grinded teeth.

"What?" He said with so much anger in his voice it sounded like he could have killed someone.

"Look she's drunk, high, and that looser is trying to take advantage." I told him. "Just come get her."

"And you're not doing anything about it." He snapped at me.

"Excuse me. She's not my sister. It's not my place to interfere. Plus I am now. I'm telling you." I snapped back at him.

There was no way I was going to let him blame me for this.

"I can't." He told me frustration running though his voice.

"Why the hell not?" I could not believe what he was saying.

"Because I'm surrounded by cops and my father. That's why I have been trying to call her."

"What happened?" I asked him.

"The party we were at. The guy who delivered the keg was killed. The cops are hear talking to us all now." He took a breath. "My dad wants her home before he gets there or he's going to go looking for her." He told me.

"Why would he want her to come home?" I asked confused. So what people die?

"The guy was decapitated. My dad wants us both were we can watch us. At least until they catch who did this."

"There's no one you can send?" I asked him.

I was starting to think I was going to have to go back down there and drag her home myself.

"No everyone's here. I would send Derek but he's with the Sheriff." She said more to himself then to me.

"Why?" I asked.

"Someone put a bomb in the school." He blurted out.

I could tell he did not mean to tell me that.

"If I have to ill bring her home." I said.

"No its okay. There's one person I can call." He told me before hanging up the phone in my face.

"You're welcome." I said before throwing the phone onto the couch.

"It's not your problem anymore." I told myself before I grabbed my cigarettes and walked back down stairs. Mentally smacking myself for getting involved.
