Being Badass

Chapter 16

Dylan's P.O.V.

Once again, where is my oscar?

"What do you mean my father's going to have hell?" I squeaked out. I knew why he was going to have hell, he was going to be right up there with Al Capone with his businesses tax fraud.

"Here boss." The guy said, completely ignoring me and handing the papers to Damien. But on his way out the bastard decided to slap my ass, which Damien heard and the look of anger on his face almost made me laugh. So protective over something he'd never have.

He called the boy back over to him and hit him over the head. "She is mine. If you ever touch her again you're as good as dead." He spits ice at the boy.

He took the paper and handed it to me and when I looked at the front cover I wanted so badly to smile, but instead I just put a hand up to my mouth and collapsed into a chair.

"D-daddy would never do that." I lay the innocence on thick, just to see what he would do.

He kneeled down and brushed a fake tear from my face. "They have proof princess. He cant do anything now." And then he leaned in and whispered something truly disgusting in my ear. "Gattina, I am the only one you may call daddy." He says with lost in his eyes.

To hide my anger I turn my face away.

"But 13 million in tax frauds. That's so much." I say, letting more fake tears roll down my cheek.

He lifts me up and begins carrying me out of the room. I protest and he eventually sets me down in the hallway.

I have to let the act slip now because he is a) being a complete idiot, and b) I will not be staying here for much longer.

"Damien. I am not yours and I will not be staying here." I say simply while crossing my arms.

"Aww is the little baby putting on a brave face?" He mockingly coos which make me want to kill him right then and there, but i refrain.

"Or did the brave put on a baby face? Damien I will not stay with you. I made that promise when I was 6 and it means nothing now. I know promises mean a lot to us both but not when they get twisted and out of hand. I will be going home and I will not be keeping my promise this time." I say. As I do I watch the anger boil up in him.

"Who do you think you are! You are just useless, brown eyed Winter. You dont deserve anything in life but I am here to give you everything and what do..... you...... What are those?" He slows and then asks me. I had taken out my contacts and revealed my black eyes.

He tried to speak, but before he could i cut him off. "Wait." I reached into my bag and strapped my mask onto my face.

"Who is useless now. Not only useless, but helpless." I chuckled.

He stuttered before reaching to his waistband, looking for his pistol.

"You looking for this?" I say while holding up his gun. "So now what? You can't fight and you have no weapons." I say with a sly look on my face.

He just sighs. "Fine. Go. But I really did love you Dylan." He says as I walk away.

I turn and walk the other way, towards him. "You never loved me. Otherwise you would've tried to understand before you couldn't do anything anymore. You dont know anything about me." I said as I walked by him and into his office. I decided the route with less people would be easier.

I opened a window and jumped straight out and into the open sunroof of my car. I put the key in the ignition and sped off, throwing Damiens weapons and the tracker he'd attempted to put on me out the window.

::::::::::::::::

I drove home with my eclectic music playlist playing through the speakers. I had called Fallon to tell her I had left and was on my way home because it was a good 3 hour drive.

I pulled into Fallons house and it was dark out. I knocked in the door and she answered with the group behind her.

Next thing I knew I was tackled to the ground and under a dog pile. We all laugh our asses off before getting up and going inside.

It's been a few days since we last hung out so we all catch up over some pizza. I notice that Fallon is acting awkward and I'm determined to find out why.

I walk into the kitchen and Fallon follows. As soon as we're in the kitchen I ask her why she is acting weird.

She stutters because I have caught her off guard. Her cheeks begin to turn rosey and I know exactly what is going on.

"You have a crush." I say simply. She looks at me in disbelief.

"Is it that obvious?" She sighs. I shrug.

"Not really. I just understand body language well." I say while grabbing another slice of pizza. "Soooo. Who is it? Spill." I say while turning back to her.

"Well... you cant get mad or judge me." She says. I can tell shes having a hard time saying it, so I dont push but I agree to her terms.

"Its, well its kind of someone in our group." She says slowly.

"Oh Fallon. You thought I'd be upset. I would never." I say while pulling her into a hug. "Mind telling me who?" I say when we pull apart.

"Its Tim." She says. I smack a hand over my mouth to keep from squealing.

"I know I know. Its unrealistic." She sighs but I shake my head.

"No it's not Fallon." I say comfortingly before giving her a sly smirk. "Permission to play matchmaker?" I ask her.

She just giggles and gives me a small nod. I clap my hands before we head back out to everyone else.

:::::::::::::

We had all watched a movie in the living room, Friday the 13th of you're wondering, and now everyone was asleep.

I crawled my way over to Tim and wake him up before leading her out to the kitchen.

"Hey Tim. I just really need to talk to someone about crushes." I said with a sigh.

"Oh my God me too. I really just need to tell someone about it. It's so not going to happen but I've been hoping so hard for it." he says. I simply nod and he grabs my hand as emotional support.

"I have the biggest crush on-" he pauses to take a deep breath before continuing. "Fallon. She is just so pretty and funny and caring. I have the biggest crush on her and I just dont know what to do." he huffs.

We spent the greater part of the night talking about it before returning to our friends. I slump down next to Fallon.

"What was that about?" She whispers.

"The feeling is mutual." I reply. Her eyes shoot open and she looks at me. I nod my head before we both lay down and fall asleep.
