CHAPTER THIRTEEN, drive!

BRIELLE,

It was late morning, I sat around the island table with Ramon and Andrew. Andrew was doing something on his computer, sending and uploading videos to Danny, while Ramon was still eating breakfast. Roscoe was knocked out on the coach, lightly snoring.

"Do you think Danny would want this clip?" He asked me.

I looked away from my phone, turning my attention to the computer. I watched the clip, shrugging my shoulders.

"I'd just send him everything you have. He'll just edit everything."

Andrew nodded in agreement, selecting every video he had. The backyard screen sliding door opened, Danny and Alex came walking in the house together. Alex was filming as Danny approached the three of us by the table.

"Why don't you guys come outside?" Danny said to us. "Hey, Bri, you know that ring that you said you lost in the backyard when we were riding the razors?" Danny walked around the counter, standing in between me and Ramon.

"Yeah? Did you find it?!"

"Yeah, look."

Danny opened his hand up, causing me to quickly gasp and push his hand away. He had a lizard in his hand, which was surely still alive and moving. He knew I was scared of those things.

"Stop," I walked backwards, "get away from me."

Danny wheezed, hanging out the lizard by its tail. "What? Why are you so scared?" He quickly followed behind me.

"Danny!" I ran around the counter, standing behind Ramon. Danny threw the lizard towards us, causing me to scream. "No!"

Andrew watched us in silence, smiling as everything was happening. Ramon jerked away in fear as well, causing Danny to laugh even harder at us. The lizard landed by our feet, and I jogged away from the counter out of the house. Danny followed behind me with Alex still recording. The guys stared at me, still trying to get away from Danny. He still held the lizard in the palm of his hand.

"Bri," Danny slowly walked towards me. I moved away again. "They're not gonna do anything! It's fucking harmless, dude."

"I don't care!" I exclaimed. "Get away from me or I'm literally gonna kick you in the dick."

I walked around the guys, as they moved away from Danny as well.

"Oh my god," Danny laughed, "look, Kewon doesn't mind them."

Kewon held his hand out, walking towards the grass and putting it down. Danny looked at me, playfully shaking his head. Ramon finally walked out of the house.

"He's a pussy too," Danny pointed at him, "you guys are all pussies."

—

I stood around, watching the guys play around with the cars and dirt bikes Danny kept laying around in the backyard. I stood next to Alex, watching Danny drive around one of the busted ass cars. As he stopped the car on the driveway,  approaching very close to us, making me and Alex quickly move out the way.

"Do you wanna drive?" Danny asked me as he got out of the car. "I mean, it's pretty safe." He stared at the car, then looked at me.

"Why not." I shrugged.

I got into the driver seat, adjusting the chair. Suddenly, I felt the car bounce, seeing Danny get on top of it. Of course, they're gonna make me involved in some dumb shit. Danny tapped on the top of the car, signaling me to start driving. Alex and the guys were in another car, following behind us.

I drove off on the road, Danny's legs were dangling on the windshield. I was a bit nervous, as the car was already fucked up enough. I made a u-turn, going back towards the house. Danny then began to climb into the car through the passenger window. He grabbed the steering wheel, swerving it onto the grass.

I went back into the road, turning the car around. I was close to the other car, making them jerk a little bit away from us.

"Oh my," Danny laughed, "you almost hit them."

I slowed down, allowing them to catch up next to us, "Sorry!" I yelled out the window while laughing.

"Go faster," Danny told me, "go, go!"

Hesitantly, I did what he said, speeding up. Again, he grabbed the steering wheel, making me hit the mailbox that was by his driveway. As I drove over it, I heard cracking. I stopped the car, allowing Danny to get out.

"Bri," he groaned, "my fucking mailbox, dude! This is why I don't ever let her drive, she drives like she's drunk."

I peaked my head out of the window, "it wasn't even my fault, you grabbed the steering wheel!"

"You have no proof." He put his hand on his hip, using his other to point at me.

"Hey, this was your idea, not mine!" I put my hands up on defense.

"It's okay," he laughed, "not the first time my mailbox has been fucked up. At least we didn't light anything on fire today."

I drove the cat back up onto the driveway, so we could park the cars. I got out of the car, walking up to Danny.

"That's the most dangerous thing she's ever involved herself in," he put his arm around me, bringing me closer to his side. My body was turned to an angle where it was pushed up against him. "We're making progress... next are the dirt bikes."

"What are y'all doing out here? You're so loud."

Danny and I turned around, seeing Roscoe walk out of the garage. "Where the hell were you the whole time?!" Danny shouted.

"I was sleeping!"

We watched him as he walked up to us, laughing as he looked around in confusion.

—

I had just got done doing my nightly routine, finally feeling clean after being outside all day. Danny was still outside, doing something again. I heard stuff going off which sounded like a BB gun... who knows. I walked into the kitchen, grabbing left overs from the fridge and heating it up.

After I was done, I put on my slides, walking out to the back. I stood under the pavilion next to the guys, I saw Danny's sister standing out there as well, she smiled as soon as she saw me.

"Hi!" I smiled, pulling her into a hug.

I suddenly saw a small figure running up to me, seeing Remy as she finally came closer into light.

"Remy!" I smiled, putting my plate down before I bent down.

She ran into my arms, giving me a hug. I carried her, spinning her around. Danny came walking next, putting down whatever he had in his hand.

"They showed up like thirty minutes ago, she was looking for you." Danny said.

Danny stuck his arms out to her, asking for her to go to him. She shook her head no.

I pushed his hand away, "she said no." I teased him.

"What?!" Danny exclaimed, "she's barely ever around, everyone else is around more than she is and you still like her more?!"

"Yes. Now, if you don't mind," I rolled my eyes at him, turning around. I held Remy in one arm, grabbing my plate off of the table with the other. "Are you hungry?" I asked her.
