"Come on" I guide her through the house and to the back door.

"I'm nervous" l

"You can go to a party but you can't chill with a few people?"

She laughs "you make it sound bad"

Johnny is trying to start the fire when we get out there. He is throwing gasoline in the barrel and the firing is making a big woofing sound. "I think its good!" Tracey yells from the seat she sits in behind him.

"No its not!" He yells back, acting like he is peeing with the gasoline.

"Hey!" I call out to him "your going to get hurt if you don't calm down!"

He spins around and smiles like an idiot

"What's he doing?" Sammy asks me

"Pouring gasoline on the fire"

"I'm going to die tonight huh" she jokes

Johnny walks up to me "what's up, my main man?!" He looks at Sammy "you look comfortably pretty"

She wears a pair of yoga pants and a big sweatshirt with her hair in a loose pony tail. "Thanks" she says shyly and puts her forehead on my arm.

He chuckles and says "well let's get the party goin"

We follow him over to the chairs.

"Hey" I lean over Tracey and give her a kiss.

She smiles "hi"

I sit Sammy down next to me and take Tracey's hand in mine. I leans towards her "you my girl"

"Forever and always" she replies

I lean back away and see that johnny is holding Sammy's hand and leading her to the fire. She is smiling as she puts her hand over it "don't let me touch the fire" she says

"I'm a dick but not that much of a dick" he says

She giggles "your probably right"

I watch them and a pang of jealousy hits me. She is putting trust into him. She is smiling with him. I'm supposed to be the only one she trusts.

"She is fine, ace" Tracey says "why are you so worried? Johnny won't hurt her, he's our friend."

I run a hand over my face and tear my eyes away from them. "Sorry, I don't know why I'm acting like this"

She shrugs and leans into me "its okay"

I lick my lips and kiss her. She nibbles on my bottom lip and I groan.

She smiles.

"Ace"

I jump up when I hear Sammy's voice. But it isn't her normal voice. She sounds hurt. She holds onto her hand with a pained face.

I run to her and take her hand. She winces at my touch. "What's wrong"

"We were just talking and she put her hand on the table and the table had one of the hot wires on them" johnny tells me "and she got burned."

"Go get her some ice" I tell him "now!"

He runs up to the house.

"Are you okay?"

She stares off "it burns. What does it look like?"

"There is a mark from where it touched but it'll be okay"

She nods and holds her hand out in front of her, not wanting it to touch anything.

Tracey comes over and looks at her hand "oh wow" she mumbles and takes the ice pack from johnny. "I'll take care of it"
