Chapter 12: Guess Who's Back

8:39 A.M.
Saturday Morning
Bonnie's House

  Beats was snoring loudly, laid out on the couch with covers semi over his body. He was abruptly awoken by Lisa kicking him in his leg. Beats sprung up in his bed while yelling, "Hey wake up. New house, new rules. You can't sleep past 9:00 here, and assuming how deep you were into sleep I thought I'd give you an extra 20 minutes."

Beats groaned, "Ow! You could've just tapped me, didn't have to kick me. Where's Bonnie?" Lisa picked up Mr.Bearington as she pointed towards the kitchen where sweet eromas could be smelled. Beats wandered into the kitchen where he saw Bonnie cooking pancakes while humming a catchy tune. She was wearing a pink short sleeve shirt with black shorts on that stopped at her thighs. Bonnie turned around with a smile on her face until she saw Beats making her gasp, "O-oh hey Beats! I kinda forgot you were here to be honest. My dad usually gets home around 10:00 so make yourself at home. Want any breakfast?" Beats responded with a small delay, "Um yeah, sounds great. Hey uh, did you have a dream last night? Just curious."

Bonnie blushed hard causing her face to turn red as she blurted, "Dream? Me? Psssh, no way! I don't even have dreams, it's just blank. Yeah. D-did you have any dreams?" Beats shook his head as he replied, "Nah, no dreams for me. Well I'll be at the um couch, thanks again." Bonnie nodded her head before getting back to nervously cooking while Beats wandered off into the living room. He then proceeded to fold the covers he used last night. Beats looked out the window while thinking to himself. Coz, just you wait you bastard.

Beats was in his phone trying to kill time until Bonnie could be heard shouting, "BREAKFAST IS READY!" Beats shivered due to how loud Bonnie was then he made his way into the kitchen. Bonnie handed Beats a plate with a small amount of pancakes and bacon on it while asking, "Hey Beats can you give this to Lisa? Thanks a ton!"

  Beats took the plate in his hand before walking over towards the dining room where Lisa was sitting. Beats set the plate down in front of Lisa who hesitated to murmur, "Thank you." Beats chuckled nervously, "Um yeah, no problem." Beats walked back into the kitchen where Bonnie handed him a plate while explaining, "And this is yours, I hope it's not too much." Beats insisted, "What this? Oh this is nothing, I make breakfast bigger than this like all the time. Thanks." Bonnie gasped, "O-oh really, that's great. You're welcome." Beats smiled before walking towards the dining room where he began to think to himself. When's the last time I actually had a breakfast that was more than a sip of room temperature water?

  Beats, Lisa and Bonnie were all eating at the table with the tv on in the living room. Lisa stood up from her chair before whispering into Bonnie's ear. Bonnie laughed, "Wait what, no. Just ask him yourself, what do you think he's gonna do say no?" Lisa stomped her foot on the ground before crossing her arms over her chest. Lisa grumbled, "Fine! Um Beats, could you please pass the syrup?" Beats' eyes glanced up quickly as he gasped, "Syrup? No problem, here you go." Beats reaches across the table using his extremely long arms to place the syrup to Lisa. Bonnie snickered quietly to herself as Lisa mumbled, "Thank you." That's odd, last night Lisa seemed a whole lot scary. But, today she seems so shy and nervous. That's so weird, I guess even the devil can have fears.

Saturday Morning
Bonnie's House

  Beats and Bonnie where sitting on the porch waiting for Brian to return home. Bonnie sighed, "I don't know what's taking my Dad so long, he's usually here by now." Beats mentioned, "The news was talking about the highway being filled with traffic today, so maybe he's just still on the road." Bonnie sunk her head into her knees while sighing, "I hope so, hmph?" Bonnie stood up while pulling her phone out of pocket then she laughed, "It's my Dad!"

  Bonnie put the phone to her ear while asking, "Daddy where are you? What, stuck in traffic? That sucks, but how is Beats gonna get home? In your top drawer, there's how much? Hold on, I'm going upstairs now."

  Bonnie ran into the house making Beats sigh, "I should've walked when I had the chance. Heh heh." Bonnie came back onto the porch with 30 dollars in her hand making Beats ask, "Whats the money for?" Bonnie handed the money to Beats while answering, "My Dad is still in traffic so he told me to tell you to catch an Uber. 'His treat', ungh. Sorry about all this." Beats insisted, "No it's fine, traffic is just one obstacle we can't overcome."

  Not too long after that, the Uber eventually came so I had to say my goodbyes. Beats hugged Bonnie who chuckled, "See you in school on Monday! Text me later okay?" Beats laughed, "Sure thing." Beats kneeled down to Lisa's height before explaining, "I don't know when's the next time I'll be over but until then you be a good girl. Hear me?" Lisa scoffed, "Just because I'm 7 doesn't mean I have to listen to your requests, I'm glad you're leaving anyway. You better keep your promise though, do you hear me?" There's the sass I remember. Beats laughed, "You bet!" Beats stood up before shouting, "I'm leaving now Ms. Katie, see you soon I hope!" Katie could be heard coughing, "I hope so too Beats, be safe out there." Beats nodded his head before stepping through the front door, walking towards the Uber. Beats opened the car door then he turned around to see Bonnie and Lisa waving their hands. Lisa is right, I really can't mess this up. And I won't.

10:32 A.M.
Saturday Morning
Beats' Neighborhood

  The Uber driver asked, "I know it's on this street but which house is it?" Beats yawned, "The one on the left with the brick walkway-!" Beats interrupted himself when he saw his house appeared to be robbed. Beats handed the Uber the money while panicking, "Here man, I gotta go! Thanks for the service, five stars for sure!" Beats practically jumped out the car and ran towards his house where the door was just swinging open. Beats ran into the house while shouting, "Cosette! You in here! Why is my house like this?!" Beats walked up the stairs with caution then he walked into his room which had been destroyed. Everything was out of place including his bed which was broken in half. What the fuck happened to my house?!" Beats yelled, "Cosette, if this is your idea of a joke then you're sick!" Beats stepped on a piece of paper which had red writing on it. A note? What happened while I was gone?

  The note read . . .

Dear Beats
     Hey it's me Coz, I saw you at the dance. You were having such a good time, we didn't want to interrupt your night. So we took the liberty to barge into your sad excuse for a house and trash it of course. But here's where it gets good. On our way upstairs we found your little fairy friend, don't worry. She's not dead, not yet at least. If you want her back met me at the park we had our first encounter. Hope it's not too much trouble.
                                        Your Enemy, Coz
 
  Beats crumbled up the paper before running out of the house, not even changing his clothes. Coz, you just answered my question from last night. If I had to choose a person to punch between you and Kevin right, it'd be you. No doubt.
