Four Rockstars, The Rugby Play & The Kiddo

Chapter 29: Drew

"CC don't worry we'll find her." I tell CC when I sit down beside him on the bottom stair.

"I really fucked up this time." CC says and I knock my head into his shoulder.

"Fucking right you did." I say and he laughs a bit.

"I thought you were supposed to be making me feel better." He states and I laugh.

"I am making you feel better." I state. "Let's go look for Kiddo."

Rikki and I are the first to drive off. I watch frantically out the window and I feel Rikki grip my hand. He kisses my knuckles.

"Drewy?" He says and I look over to him.

"Rikki?" I ask and he turns to face me.

"I love you." Rikki say and locks eyes with me.

I hear the car rev up and I look out the windshield and back to him.

"Rikki." I say but the car just gets faster.

I keep looking out the window and Rikki smirks.

"Come on, Rikki. This isn't funny." I say pretty loudly.

The road is clear but it's getting dark so that doesn't mean shit. My eyes bounce between Rikki's in the road and the car just keeps getting faster. His eyes don't leave me. I look out the windshield and see a set of headlights coming at us, we must've shifted into the wrong lane.

"Rikki, there's a car." I say and his smile broadens.

"I love you." Is all he says.

"Rikki." I say loudly.

"I love you." He says again.

"Rik, this isn't funny." I say.

"Tell me you love me and we'll switch lanes again."  Rikki says.

"What?" I question.

"Tell me you love me." He repeats himself.

"I love you! Now change fucking lanes!" I yell and he smiles.

We narrowly miss the on coming truck and I yank my hand back. I slouch down in the seat and Rikki laughs.

"I really how you scared." He says and I scowl looking out the window.

"It's not fucking funny, Rikki." I cross my arms.

"Baby, we're okay. Nothing bad happened." Rikki tries to grab my hand but I move away. "Baby, I love you."

"I love me to." I say and he laughs.

"Baby?" He says. "Drewy?" He looks over to me. "Drew."

"Keep your eyes on the road." I mumble and Rikki sighs.

He pulls off the road and shuts the car off. I don't look over but I hear his seatbelt unbuckle.

"Drew, please look at me." Rikki says and I look over to him. "You're so adorable when you're mad at me."

"I'm about to get drop dead fucking gorgeous." I growl and he smiles.

"You already are, Drewy." Rikki says and gently presses his lips to mine. "I didn't mean to scare you, angel."

"I just don't want anything bad to happen. I lost my family once, I don't wanna go through that again." I say and his eyes grow.

"Oh Christ, I forgot about that." He says and I drop my eyes. "Baby, I won't ever do anything like that again."

Rikki picks up my face and kisses my cheeks than my nose.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you to. You don't have to nearly kill us for me to say that either." I remind him.

Rikki starts to kiss me and pulls me into his seat with him. I kiss him back and his hands go up the front of my shirt.

"Aren't we supposed to be looking for Snowy?" I ask out of breath as he sucks at my neck.

"Five minutes." Rikki complains and tries to push my shirt up. "Or maybe twenty."

"Rikki." I complain and my eyes drift out the drivers side window.

Down the alley only light up by a flickering light, I see white blond hair that is spread across the ground. It's Snowy.

"Baby, no one is around." Rikki looks out the window and sees what I see.

"Snowy." We say in unison.

We run up to her and see that she's face down on the ground. We call her name and she only groans. We get her rolled over and I see injection marks on the inside of her arms. I look up a Rikki.

"Rikki, that's gotta be heroin." I say and he nods.

"We've gotta get her to a hospital." He says and I nod.

"And call Bobby." I say.

Christ, Bobby is gonna murder CC if anything happens to Snowy.
