" How long are you gonna take woman?"I heard Brett whine from the other room.
I shook my head.
Looking at myself in the mirror one last time , I grabbed my purse and went to the next room.
Brett turned around , he was wearing ,black jeans and a blue shirt.The sleeves were rolled to his elbows and his tattoos looked great.
He kept staring at me.
" What?" I said looking at myself.
" If you get rapped , don't blame me."
" Fuck you."
I chuckled.
I walked to him and he extended his arm.
" I may be the rapist." He whispered in my ear.
That made me shiver.
Shit, not again.
" Dream on."
" Yeah forgot , that punch actually hurt like hell."
I pushed his shoulder.
He chuckled.
" Lets go."
He led me to his car.
" Seriously Trav , just because she has the same character as you doesn't mean you can treat her like dirt."
I heard America say as we were heading their way.
" Don't worry Mare." I said.
They turned around.
" Girl, you look hot." Mare said.
" Likewise." I said.
Abby smiled.
" You came."
" Of course." I smiled at her.
" Brett your car is awesome."Shepley said as he admired Brett's car.
All of a sudden the boys talked about cars.
" So, Raven." America smirked at me.
" Some how , I don't like where this is going." I said.
" Me too." Abby said.
We looked at each other and laughed.
" You and Brett huh." America said.
" No , me and me." I laughed once.
America sulked.
" Nothing at all?"
" Its not so easy being me."
" That sounds like an excuse." She said.
" Well , it may be but really I only had shitty guys in my life, not gonna fall for some pretty face so easily."
" That's what Abby said and look at her she is married."
" Mare." Abby protested.
The boys joined us.
" What are you girls gossiping about?" Shepley asked.
America smirked at me.
" At how Raven thinks Brett has a pretty face."
Brett looked at me.
" Really?" He said grabbing his face.
" Mare , you just busted his ego a whole lot higher."
" Sorry , princess, as I said before, seen better." I winked at him.
He put a hand on his chest and looked hurt.
I rolled my eyes.
" I just saw double." Travis said.
I looked at him.
" You rolled your eyes, Pidge always does that." He said.
" Wow." I said,
" What?"
" You just told me a whole sentence without any hurtful meaning behind it." I put a hand on my mouth and tried to look emotionally.
Everybody started laughed , except for Travis of course , but he is letting it pass.
They started to walk to the restaurant.
I grabbed Brett by the arm.
" You do kinda have a pretty face."I said, winking at him.
He laughed once.
We all headed to our seats.
When the waiter came , she eyed Travis and Brett like they where some dishes to eat.
I rolled my eyes.
America and Abby chuckled softly.
We gave our order and we started to chat.
" Abs?" I head someone say.
A guy came to our table.
" Abs?" I asked.
" Parker." Abby said.
She looked uncomfortable and Travis face contoured to anger. Lets save the day
" Excuse me." I said.
The guy named Parker turned to me.
" Am I seeing double?" He chuckled.
" Yeah , almost , I am Abby , her evil side of course." I said putting my chin on my hands.
He chuckled nervously.
" Sure you are."
I smirked.
" First off , Abs really ? Sure I got a hot body but Abs ? Do you even have abs under that shirt."
I reached out for his shirt but he smacked my hand away.
Brett edged from his seat but I grabbed his hand.
I chuckled and got up to face him.
" You should be more gently to the girl you are drooling over." I said.
" Who's drooling?" He chuckled nervously.
There.
" You are nervous , what for?"
He didn't respond.
" Then how about , you turn your ass and get away from my table , I was so happy before , you came and ruined everything." I pouted.
He stared at me , then turned to face Abby.
" Bye , Abby, hope you are happy this way." He said.
" I am." Abby said.
I grinned.
Parker looked at me and Abby one last time before heading his way.
" I just changed my mind about you."Travis said grinning like an idiot.
When I sat back down , Brett grabbed my hand and squeezed once.
" I just saw Abby turn sexy."America said.
" Pidge is sexy." Travis said.
Abby blushed and kissed Travis cheek.
" Thanks baby."
Everybody laughed.
" But really, you look alike , for cousins." Brett said.
I looked at Abby.
" She is beautiful, plus our eyes and hair are completely different."
" For a girl who seduced a whole patrol station , you really don't believe in yourself do you."Brett said.
" Fuck off." I said.
" Well Pidge does have particular eyes." Travis said turning to his wife with honor.
I smiled.
" Well , you have a very particular honey shade." Abby said looking into my eyes.
" I guess another family gene huh."I said winking at her.
We chatted for hours , not like my character at all , so I am dead tired.
" We are going to dance wanna come?"America said.
Brett looked at me.
I shrugged.
" Sure." He said.
We went to a club called the Red and a bartender named Cami served us.
" Come Raven , lets dance." Abby said.
I shook my head.
" I don't dance." I said.
The girls looked at each other and smiled at me and they went to the dance floor.
" Raven , um , thanks for coming."Travis said loud enough for me to hear.
" Huh , I couldn't hear you ? Was that a thanks coming from your mouth?"
" She is happy to have you." He continued.
" Me too."
I winked at him.
He grinned and went to join his friends on the dance floor.
" Just witnessed another side of Raven Abernathy , Score." Brett said.
I shoved him in the shoulder.
" I'll go for a smoke , save me the seat."
" Sure want to go alone?" Brett asked.
" Sure, I am not a pussy like you."
He smirked.
" You are definitely not."
I winked at him and headed for the door.
Taking a drag from my cigarette calmed the thumping in my head.
" Whats a beautiful creature like you doing here alone ?" A guy came from behind me.
He licked his lips.
Gross.
" I am Ethan , whats your name ?"He said coming closer.
" Come a step closer and I will put this cigarette in your eye."
" Sure you will."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.
Damn , he is strong.
I kicked him but he didn't let go.
A hand landed on the guys shoulder.
" Let her go or you will die."
It was Brett.
His eyes , thirsted for blood , I shivered from his stare.
" Brett Robinson , sorry man , she's your girl?"
He chuckled nervously and stepped away.
I was captivated by that stare , it scared the shit out of me but somehow I couldn't look away.
" Finish the god damn cigarette and get your ass back inside."
He shouted.
" What the fuck man calm your dick."I shouted back.
" I just save your sorry ass of a life you know that right ?"
My sorry ass of a life ?
I glared at him.
" I-- sorr-" He said putting a hand on his face.
" Sure you are." I threw the cigarette and went back inside.
" Wait , Raven." He followed me through the people.
" Go fuck yourself Brett." I said.
I looked for Abby , she was at the bar.
" Hey cousin , I have to go. We still on for tomorrow right ?" I said.
She looked at me then at Brett and got the situation.
" Yeah." She smiled at me.
I gave everyone a hug and left turned without speaking to Brett.
" Goddammit woman stop." Brett shouted from behind me.
" Who the hell do you think you are huh ?" I said turning to face him.
" I just got that rapist out of your ass you know ?"
" Yeah got the point, my sorry ass of a life, yeah thanks Brett." I said turning around and walked away from him.
" How are you getting home ?" He shouted.
" I'll walk." I shouted back.
I heard him shout but didn't give a damn.
The club was just a step away from the apartment , so I removed my heels and walked.
He didn't follow me , somehow that ended up hurting me more.
God dammit girl , don't fall for this,you know better.
My phone chirped it was a message from Abby.
' Brett is pissed as hell , he is drinking everything , gonna take him to our place. Be safe cousin."
' Thanks Abby and sorry about that."
' No problem , just what happened ?'
' Can't get involved.'
' You sound just like me , I know what you feel.'
' You found yourself a good guy Abby ,I am happy for you.'
Suddenly my phone chirped.
" Yeah?"
" Why did that message sound like a goodbye?" Abby asked.
" It didn't , I just need to go somewhere for a few days, I'll be back."
" Don't do this, he will regret it tomorrow."
" I don't know him Abby , plus I came here for you and I really need to go somewhere. I'll be back next week promise." I re-assured her.
I heard her sigh.
" Really promise?" She said.
" Yeah , plus I will call and text.See you in a week."
" See you in a week cousin."
She hung up.
I arrived at the apartment , grabbed all my things and left the spare key on the kitchen table. I tossed everything in the back and started the car.
My phone chirped again, this time it was a message from Brett.
' You are leaving?' He asked.
I didn't respond, for shit sake I was coming back , I just needed to go somewhere alone , this much connection with people wasn't my thing.
It was pitch black and somehow it brought some bad memories , but I pushed it at the back of my head and drove off. If the map was right , there should be a motel I could stay in.
My phone chirped a couple of times till I reached the motel.
I got a room and just stood there in the room looking at my phone.
This time it was a message from Elena ,she said , he is looking for me.
Shit.
No , he can't be.
Thank God he didn't touch her.
All the other messages were from Brett and Abby. Which I didn't feel like answering at this point.I feel on the floor and grabbed my knees.
Calm down Raven , Calm down.
Tears filled my eyes.
One rule still stands, don't cry in front of people.
Why is this happening?
