Babysitting the Bad Boy: Books 1&2

19.

The next day, in the morning, I was distracted the whole time I was at home. Nathan had a hard time getting my attention. "Kimberly, what is wrong?" He asked me and I looked up at him.

"Nothing, why?"

"You seem awfully distracted," he stated and I sighed as I looked away.

"Nathan. Is there a place where people always go to fight?" I suddenly asked him.

"What do you mean? People fight anywhere, to be honest."

"No, like, I don't know, illegally?"

I looked back at him and his eyes were widened. "Why are you asking that?"

"I just want to know," I answered as I waited impatiently for him to tell me.

"Well, according to some of the guys in my class I hear, they talk about always going to the park. The one a couple of streets away from school. It's kind of isolated, so it's the perfect place to host illegal activites...but why?"

"I'm just wondering, I heard something about a fight going on. I don't know when, though," I explained and he nodded slowly.

"Whatever the reason may be, stay away from it. You'll get hurt," he warned as he left the room.

The park? I've never went there, but I should probably go there. I don't like to see people fight, but if Ryan gets hurt, he should be helped.

I spotted one of the guys that Ryan always hangs out with. He was leaning against the wall by the school's entrance.

I walked up to him and he nodded his head when he saw me. "Ryan's girl, what's up?"

Ryan's girl? Ryan's girl?! I wasn't even going to make a big deal out of it, not this time.

"Is Ryan fighting?" I asked him and he cracked his knuckles and then his back. I slightly cringed at the sound.

"Of course, he didn't tell you? He fought all the time before he was sent to Germany. Everyone was so scared of him. But we're all afraid he's too weak now," he explained and I began to worry.

What if he really does get hurt? What if he dies?

"Is it at the park?"

"Yeah. It's tonight, are you coming? You shouldn't, that place really isn't for girls," he warned me and I sighed.

Not only him, but Nathan also warned me. But, why do I keep concerning myself of Ryan? He shouldn't even matter to me. He's the reason for my job too...yeah...that's why.

"Actually, he invited me."

"Oh, yeah? You should come, then. It's an honor to be invited by him, not just anyone can show up," he told me and I glanced down at my feet.

"Have....people died from this?" I asked, my voice close to trembling.

"Of course. Lots of gangs also hang out there, so the police don't really bother with it. And because the kids are so bad and stuff, their families don't really care that much either."

"What about Ryan?"

"What do you mean?"

"Has he killed anyone...?"

"He may be an asshole and everything, but he doesn't like to kill anyone. Don't tell anyone, though. He threatens a lot of people," he whispered the last part and I nodded my head.

I was at the Winchesters' house, playing with Hailey, but my mind was too full of things. Mostly, of Ryan.
