Badass

Chapter 2

(Matt's POV)

I sighed, I was pacing the hallway, waiting for the car to pull up, I wanted to see Casey face to face but because of the pack and my mate, I couldn't see her and laney understood why I had too leave but she didn't want Casey in that at all. I just kept thinking about what she would be like and how she would be like, from the letters I did get from laney she was an amazing girl very sweet and happy and was always quick to smile. She sounded like a sweet girl just like her mother, even now thinking of her makes me smile. Finally I heard a car pull up and I straightened my shirt and made my way outside.

" Laney, it's good to see you again ," she gave me a weak smile, she looked just the same, if not a little older and tired looking, I pulled her into a hug and squeezed quickly.

" Hi Matt, it's good to see you too, you look really good ... after all these years too ," I smiled at her and she sighed softly.

" How is everything ?" I could barely here that statement.

" Good, the pack has been fine and I'm sure that Casey will enjoy meeting every one ," she looked defeated after I said that.

"And anyway so do you, so is she here?" She rung her hands.

" Matt ... just ..... Casey is different, you have to be patient with her ..... she just has trouble ," I raised an eyebrow.

" What kind of trouble ," then the car door slammed shut.

What I saw made me do a double take, this was not the little girl I had imagined, she was the exact opposite. She looked like a gothic avenging angel, from the heels to the corset top she looked like she could kill. Once she made her way over I could see her smoking a cigarette, and if looks could kill I'd be in the ground already.

" I don't see why your even talking to him about me mom, like he cares about anything I do ," her voice was the exact opposite of happy it as flat and emotionless just like her expression.

" Casey, baby please-" she just gave her mother a look that made her mouth slam shut, it would hurt me to look at it too, it was like she was a robot she didn't show anything.

She turned to me, her face went sour.

" Ok, listen Matt, I really don't want to be here and I hate you with every fiber of my being, so here's how it's going to work you leave me alone and stay out of my way and I stay out of yours and there won't be any bloodshed in that pretty house of yours ," she took a drag from her cigarette and I was just in shock, she was so young and yet she hated me so much I could feel it compressing my chest.

" I hope you understand, I don't follow and won't follow your rules, so get used to not talking me because I sure wont talk to you ," she put out her cigarette with a stomp of her foot and picked up her bags, totally ignoring my existence and laney just looked defeated, her shoulders slumped and her eyes were tired and sad.

I hadn't even noticed that Casey was almost in the house already before she turned back and looked at us.

" Bye mom, thanks for sending me to hell !!" She gave us a mock salute before walking into the house and slamming the door shut.

I glanced over at laney, she was in tears just staring at the door like it would come at her if she tried anything. Then she looked at me, her eyes looked tired and defeated but most of all sad, but all I could think of was what happened to the Casey laney talked about.

" I just ... Casey .... She's .... you have to be patient with her Matt .... there are things about her that you know ," I nodded.

" Casey ... she's been having trouble with ... alcohol and recently I found out the same with .... with drugs ," I stiffened it felt like the color drained from my body, my baby girl ... my Casey ... addicted to drugs and alcohol.
