/caught up/

{4}

I got back home about 6:34 and walked through the door.

Mom was sitting on the couch drinking another beer.

"Okay seriously what took you so long this time. It wasn't even 20 minutes away" mom stood up and came to me.

"I got lost". I put the money in my bag and looked up at mom.

"Oh my god what happened to your neck?" Mom traced the bruises on my neck.

I was confused at first but then I remembered Ethan choking me out.

"Nothing"

"Did you meet someone along the way? Is that why your so late?" Mom giggle poking me.

"God mom no. I'm not a whore" I say frustrated grabbing a beer out of the fridge.

"Then what is it honey?" She sat on the couch eyeing me as I walked by.

"Don't worry about it"  I pooped the beer bottle open.

Honestly I didn't want her worrying about it. I'm fine and that all that matters.

ETHANS POV

"I heard sirens and got distracted, I was panicking inside and that's when she took her chance" I explain to dad what happened with Kayla.

"God damnit Ethan. She probably is now at the police station" dad slams his hand on his desk.

"No. She wouldn't go to the cops" I get up from the chair walking out.

"And how can you be so sure?"

"Because she's part of a drug deal also" I close dads office door on the way out.

"Bro. I heard everything. Are you fucking stupid?" Grayson walked up behind me.

"Grayson I don't need to hear it from you"

"Why couldn't you just let her go the first time? Why tackle her and make things worse? You don't always get what you want!"

I stopped in my tracks and turned around to Grayson.

"Watch me" I got in his face and gritted my teeth.

"You'll regret it one day Ethan" Grayson blabbed as I walked off.

I walked downstairs and left out the front door slamming it.

I grabbed my ski mask from my back pocket a slid it on. I got in my Jeep and drove off to find Kayla.

KAYLAS POV

It was now noon.

Me and mom had to many beers and I was up stumbling around and laughing like a damn retard.

"Immmm gowing to shleep" mom stumbled down the hall to her bedroom.

I watched her every move till she shut her door and I plopped down on the couch.

I decided to go to sleep and be ready for any deliveries mom has for me tonight.

ETHANS POV

I drive all over the damn city to see if I could see Kayla walking around for another delivery.

I even stayed outside a few houses for awhile to see if she was there.

I called dad to ask him a question.

ON THE PHONE:

Sean- Hello?

Ethan- Hey dad quick question.
