Dangers of The Bad Boy

Chapter 17

"Wake up Emmy!!!"

"Danny," I grumbled a I got out of bed, "What is it?"

"There's a lady here."

"You opened the door?"

"No, I looked out the window," Danny stated matter-of-factly. I hurried up and put on some decent clothes and quickly brushed my hair. When I went downstairs I heard "The Lady" knocking at the door. I opened the door to a somewhat familiar face.

"Who are you?"

"Nick's step sister, is he here?" I paused for a moment. She was the girl from the park.

"I didn't know you were his step sister."

"Well I am so is he here or not. That bitch of a step mother said he would be here. But I figured he probably left or something." Just as I was about to answer I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Summer? What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk. Now"

"I have nothing to say to you," Nick said with a very harsh tone, "I suggest you leave." With that Summer walked off of my porch angrily and drove away. I turned toward Nick.

"Step sister?" He rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Uh, ya."

"So, Charlie was your."

"Step brother." He buried his face in his hands. "There's a lot of things I should've told you about my life. Like my step father and siblings. I just thought you would look at me differently."

"Nick, I would never judge you because of your past or your family. I love you."

"I love you so much Princess." He grabbed my waist and tugged me closer to him. Soon I was in a bone crushing hug.

After we made breakfast we dropped Danny off at preschool. While Danny was at preschool I had to go grocery shopping, and Nick came with me.

"We have eggs, milk, cheese, and salad. What else should we get," I asked Nick.

"I was thinking some soda and chips."

"You know I try to feed Danny healthy food."

"Aw, lighten up Princess. He's what, 5 now?"

"Yeah, what's your point?" I shot Nick a dangerous look. All of a sudden we heard gunshots. Nick grabbed me by the hand and pulled me down. "Stay down." Scarred out of my mind I just nodded and started to cry a little.

"NOBODY MOVE!" I heard the man yell.

"Timothy?" Nick said almost completely to himself.

"What," I whispered.

"Never mind just follow me."

I quickly crawled with Nick to the storage room of the grocery store.

"They shouldn't find us in here."

"Now what about this Timothy person?" I asked with a demanding tone.

"My step father," Nick quickly said. All of a sudden we heard the doors fly open.

"Find him. I know he is here. If you see the girl take her as well." I gave Nick a scared look. He held my hand and squeezed it. He lead me to the very back of the storage room where we found a door leading to the parking lot. Thank goodness. We ran to the car and I handed him the car keys. I was too shaken to drive. Nick had a lot of explaining to do.
