"FIONA'S NOT COMING?" Frank asked as he stood at the head of the table.

Billie and Carl stood across from each other, glancing at one another every so often. Carl sometimes, at her chest.

"We can just start without her." Debbie replied as she put a plate with crackers with cheese on the table. "So! Thank you guys all so much for coming!" Debbie stated.

"Bathroom?" Nick asked Erica.

"Oh, door, right down the hallway." Erica answered. Carl watched as Nick walked to the bathroom.

"So as you guys know, I kind of wanted to keep the gender of my baby a surprise, but Erica here, who's been like a mother to me, suggested I throw this party and include everyone. So that's what I did!" Debbie spoke before being cut off by Ericas phone ringing.

"It's my doctor. Um, have to take this. So sorry I'll just be one sec." Erica spoke as she tip toed away from the table.

As everyone stood there quietly. They all heard an engine starting. Carl looked back and ran towards the door. He opened it and saw Nick driving away fast.

"Fuck!" He yelled and ran out of the house, slamming the door shut.

Billie, concerned for both of them. Ran out too, with Debbie calling them as they ran out the house. Carl starting running, but Billie looked around for something to ride. Soon enough, she found a blue bike in Ericas yard. She rode off and followed Carl.

As Billie rode her bike behind Carl, soon enough catching up to him. Carl threw some money at a kid sitting down on the path and took his skateboard.

Billie and Carl started rode, following behind Nick.

"Where's he going!" Billie yelled as she pedalled faster.

"I think he's going to the kid who took his bikes house." Carl yelled back.

"Fuck." Billie muttered under her breath.

The pair eventually got to the house. Carl and Billie jumped off their skateboard and bike and walked up the the house.

Nick, sat on the steps in front of the house with blood on his clothes and his head in his hands. He also had a bloody hammer lay next to him.

A woman's screams and cries filled the air as the two walked up to Nick.

"Yo, yo. What did you do?" Carl asked as he looked panicked.

Billie slowly walked up the steps, past Nick and looked inside the house.

What she saw was horrific and would haunt her forever. The same kid. Earlier that day, that took his bike. Laying on the ground. Dead.

Billie started to shake as she held her hand up to her face and horror filled her body. She walked back down the stairs, the image of the body, tattooed into her memory.

The mothers cries were indescribable. Billie couldn't imagine what the mother had felt.

She slowly walked away and Carl quickly passed her, hitting her shoulder on the way. In that moment. Billie didn't care. She felt sick to her stomach.

As Carl looked around the door at the scene. He quickly looked away, leaned over the edge of the brick and threw up on the grass.
