    When Tommy walks out of the shed I grab his arm and threaten to turn him in. He looks so scared that I know I won't do it. But I think he can help me...I mean if he can make a flower disappear maybe he can make a person...

    I shove him into my truck and reach over to make sure he's buckled in. He slapped my hand away and I slam the door shut and walk to my side, feeling slightly hurt. Okay. I feel like some one just ran me over with a bulldozer but whatever. I start my truck and start driving to my house.

    I check my phone when we reach a stop light and text one of my teammates to break into Tommy's locker and grab the note I left Tommy. I told him if he asked why or read the note I'd make sure he'd be second string for the rest of high school.

"That's not safe you know..." I heard Tommy say under his breath.

"What?"

"I said it's not safe to text while driving. We could get in a reck and die." I saw him look at me from the corner of my eye as I make another wrong turn, avoiding my street like the plague. Anything to stay with him just a little longer.

"We'll be fine." I keep my answer short. I want to hear him speak but I don't want to seem desperate. I see him roll his eyes before he reaches for the radio at the same time I do. Our hands touch for just a moment before he pulls and shrinks away from me in his seat.

    I feel a shock run up my arm before I turn up the radio and turn down the heat.
I hear him hum along to Bad Blood by Taylor Swift. I laugh because it's really cute the way he looks so into the song.

"Cause baby now we got bad blood. You know it used to be mad love. Just take a look what you've done. Cause baby now we got bad blood..." His voice is light and sweet and makes shivers run up and down my spine.

    We pull into my drive way and I look over at him and I can't figure out the expression on his face. I jump out of my truck and before I can make it to his door to open it he's already jumping out and slamming the door closed.

"Why am I here Brad?" He turns towards me and puts his hands on his hips. What a feisty little thing. I just smile and grab his arm, dragging him towards the door.

"I need your help. If you help me I'll keep your secret." He just nods and I open the the door and lightly push him inside. Steve is on the couch watching 'The Biggest Loser'. What's new. He starts talking shit but I just tune him out and drag Tommy half way down the hall.

"That's what I need your help with. I need you to make him disappear like you did that flower. Do that and I'll never tell anyone about you being a you-know-what." Tommy's eyes widened and he looked at me in disbelief.

"I can't do that. I don't even know where he'll go." He tries to walk away but I put my hand on his chest and push him back against the wall.

"C'mon Tommy. It's not like he doesn't deserve it," I pull up my shirt and show him my bruises, " Look what he does to my mom and I. Just touch him and make him leave." His eyes linger on my abs longer than necessary and I smirk before he blinks and looks me in the eyes.

"He could end up in a volcano..."

"That's fine. The more painful the better. I have to go pick up some groceries from the store, when I get back he better be gone." I walk out to my truck and head to Safeway to pick up some dinner for tonight. I'm thinkin..... Nachos. Yummmm.

    By the time I get back it's almost dark and all the lights are off inside. I walk in and Tommy's gone and no one's home. I call out to Steve, just to make sure, and no one answered. I call his phone and I see it light up between the couch cushions. He really is gone... There's no way in hell that lazy ass would leave without his phone incase he got a notification from Facebook about getting an extra life on Candy Crush.

   I quickly grab his phone and text my mom, his boss, and his brother all the same message.

" I Had to leave ASAP. Got a better job offer in Nevada. Didn't have time to say goodbye. Don't try and contact me because this is the last time I'll use this phone. Bye. -Steve" I press send and hide his phone underneath my mattress.

    He's gone. He's really gone. He can't hurt me or my mom anymore...Wow. I send a silent thank you to Tommy. God...Thank you so fucking much.
