Over breakfast, which we shared with mom and dad, I told her about my wayward friend Track. Kevin Track is the son of a very wealthy African American prospector of all things.The Tracks are what I call one of America's little feel good stories; one of the only, if not the only family of color to have any kind of foothold in the oil industry.His family has as rich a history as any I'd ever seen and sitting around listening to his grandpa tell stories was always a treat. The family had moved out here when Track had run through all the schools in his burg. His dad thought the change of scenery not to mention the pace, was just what his son needed.This last stunt proved that it didn't matter where he lived, Track was going to be Track. It's not that he's a bad seed or anything like that, far from it.Track is a fun loving teen same as the rest of us, he just has a more volatile personality I guess you can say. And a healthy dose of honor and loyalty for those he perceives to be hi
"Who's on the phone?""Someone from the hospital, they're waiting for an answer." "Tell them to get fucked.""I thought you might take that stand, but I wanted to be sure before I did anything."I turned to head back to my boys pissed way the fuck off; like what the fuck? This shit was too unreal to be believed. If they only knew…then again, I could probably use this shit to my advantage if I played it right.I looked over to where my girl was sitting with her crew and she had eyes on me. I smiled and waved like my shit wasn't tight. If that bitch really couldn't remember anything but me, then she should remember that I hate her ass."What's up bro? You look like you're ready to jump off." Shayne was the first to notice the black scowl on my face when I got back to them."That was the hospital, apparently Mandy can't remember shit except for when we were together." I gave them the bare bones, which was about all that I had myself since I didn't give the caller a chance to tel
I barely overheard a little bit of what the boys were saying as I pretended to be interested in something in the gardens beyond the basketball court, after I'd heard what Jace's dad had said to him about that phone call.They hadn't even noticed me thank heavens or they would've noticed my reaction. So she was still alive, and now awake, that sucked. I was hoping she'd die, even after she'd been found, but it looks like she'd escaped once again.I was a nervous wreck the rest of the afternoon while the others laughed and played around me. Sian kept studying me though, so I had to put on my smiley face as I bided my time and counted down the hours 'til I could respectfully leave. I needed to go home and think in the confines of my room.Both of my parents had been acting strange this morning at breakfast, strange meaning they were almost back to normal, at least that was something. But now with her still in the picture instead of six feet under, who knows how long that will last?"C
"Hey, what have you found out?""Listen we're having second thoughts about letting you do this, we were in the middle of something very important; this high school drama isn't worth it.""First of all you're not letting me do shit. I don't know how many times I have to tell you this shit, you don't own me so don't believe your own fucking hype.""Son…""Nuh-uh dad, later for that." I turned back to the phone. "Now what did you find out? The sooner you get me what I want, the sooner we can get back to your deal, but I'm not leaving here until my boy is cool.""I don't see what the big deal is, his name hasn't even been called.""You don't worry about that shit, do the cops have any leads or not?""So far it doesn't look like it. So what now?""Now we wait and see.""For how long?""As long as it takes.""Kevin…""There's no discussion here, I'm still pissed that I had to find this shit out the way I did.""This is why there's no communication with the outside when you're wo
It feels like we'd barely got settled in here, before all hell broke loose. I didn't even really have my bearings as yet, so to speak. There was too much going on too fast, and that was before my sister got herself almost killed and the girl I suspected of having something to do with it ended up in the hospital.I was just starting to relax my guard a little, testing my feet in unchartered waters, and now this. I looked down at the phone in my hand.If I make this call it's gonna change a lot of things, so I had to be sure. The reason for my hesitance was so dumb though, but still I had to be sure.Back in my last school it had been harder, but here in a new place with no past judgments to live down, it felt like it was okay.That's what was bothering me though; the fact that I even had to think like that. I should be able to love who I want to love without having to worry about living down a stigma. And I shouldn't be such a prick that I'd let it stop me before.But to be fair sh
"I think I should do it." I'd just told Sian about Mandy and what they wanted me to do. I'd given it some more thought and I couldn't see any other way. She hadn't said one word the whole time I was speaking, and I couldn't tell from her face what she was thinking."You want to do it?""Hell no I don't want to do it, but it might be the only way to get to the truth about what happened to you that night.""Why don't you let the cops do their job? I have all confidence that they'd get to the bottom of it in time. If this is an excuse for you to go sniffing around your ex well you can just…fuck off Jace Saunders."What the fuck? She flew off the bed and headed for the bathroom but I flew off the other side and stopped her. "Where the fuck are you going?""Home, and you can have this back you ass." She tried taking off my ring and giving it to me."Have you lost your fucking mind Si?" What the fuck just happened here? One minute we were having a conversation and the next it was world war
"Jace, what's gotten into you?""What's gotten into me, I'll tell you what's gotten into me. You don't say shit like that to a guy like me, it'll get your ass hurt. Now who the fuck did you have in your head?"I had her bent over the bed with my hand buried in her hair as I fought with the zipper of her jeans. I pulled them down far enough to tear her panties in half and drop them on the floor before moving into her."Who?" I slammed into her as I pulled her hair back hard and she screamed. I was careful not to hurt her back, but that ass was mine.I didn't hold back when I slid out of her and went back in hard as fuck; neither did I loosen my grip on her hair. "Say sorry, tell me you're fucking sorry for saying that shit to me." I fucked her as hard as a dick was able to, hitting her ovaries with my shit.She fucking shook her head and pushed back against me while spreading her legs wider and cocking her ass higher in the air."No." Spoilt ass thinks she's bad, we'll see about that sh
"Is your dad gone again baby?" Her dad was one of those who thought that as long as he provided his daughter with every luxury known to man that it would compensate for his absence.She didn't have a mom and was an only child. She's been my baby since we were fourteen and will be for life if I had anything to say about it and I have plenty.She's the only thing I would die for, Jace comes a close second because he's fucking excellent people, but this baby girl, fuck it kills me to be away from her ass. "Yeah, he left yesterday morning." She always tries to hide the hurt from her man but there's no hiding from me, I know every little thing about her.I know how abandoned she feels, and that no matter what we mean to each other, I can never take his place. If he doesn't get his shit together soon, I'm gonna have to do something about his dumb ass. It was I who had made sure that the security on the place was up to par, me who stayed in her bed more than I did mine, which my mother hate
