Songs & Fire [Brett and Casey]

Bullet In A Bonfire

Song: Bullet In A Bonfire by Brantley Gilbert

*Thanks to my writing partner, one-chicago-obsessed, for suggesting I do this song. Sorry it's taken me so long. I hope you enjoy it!

I know the stories behind the bruises

When I've been the shoulder

You've been the reason for her tears

And her tellin' you it's over's useless

You keep callin' her phone, drivin' by when I'm not here

She's beggin' me not to lose my temper

Lord, I've tried, but my patience is runnin' thin

The best thing you can do is forget her

'Cause so help me God, if you ever touch that girl again

Brett sighed as she sipped her Rosé and continued to watch the door to see every person that made their way in and out of Molly's.

"Hey, Brett you got a date or something? You've been staring at that door from the second you sat down.

Brett quickly looked up at Herrmann and shook her head, "Ughh, no. Just interested to see who's coming out tonight."

Herrmann nodded and returned to his work of drying glasses.

You cross that line, boy and there ain't no comin' back

I'm a crazy train, son, and you caught up in the tracks

You've got me growlin' like a pit bull, brother

I'm about to lock my jaws

I'm a time bomb tickin' a real live wire

Boy a shot in the dark, I'm a bullet in a bonfire

I'm a bullet in a bonfire

"Hey, there you are!" Yelled Foster as she spotted Brett at the bar and ran over to her.

Brett looked up and laughed at her obviously drunk friend, "I thought you were going to that new club you've been talking about all week."

Foster shook her head and started sipping the glass of water Herrmann filled as soon as he saw Foster walk through the door, "We did! It was soooooo much fun. I wanted to come and see you, though."

"Well, that was nice of you." Smiled Brett before Herrmann came over and slid Foster a cup of black coffee.

"Oooohhh, I brought you a friend." Suddenly shouted Foster as she spun around in her seat and pointed to the guy at the other end of the bar getting served by Kidd.

"A friend?"

Foster nodded, "Yeah, he's the guy I was telling you about yesterday on shift. Remember? Mark. He was at the club tonight, and I was telling him about you, so he said he wanted to come and meet you in person."

Brett smiled as Mark waved at her across the bar.

"Come on, give him a chance. He's a really nice guy."

Brett sighed and set her drink down by Foster's half-empty coffee cup, "Fine, as long as you promise to finish your coffee and order another one after that."

Foster nodded and gave a fake salute before she threw her hand up and waved Mark over.

You cross that line, boy and there ain't no comin' back
