Dahli hear rustling in the room before Kenna opened her door, and raised an eyebrow when she saw her shirt, and D internally kicked herself for forgetting to change before inviting Kennedy. She'd just been too upset to really think about it.
“I…I can’t go into town. I’ve got some shit to deal with” She said with a sigh and Dahlia could tell she was irritated. Something was on her mind. “Just let them go by themselves…I’m sure they can handle it.” She said as she walked past her, and she sighed and ran her hands through her hair, glancing at Tristin and Brandy with a shrug.
Dahlia watched as her friend suddenly took control of the room, as usual. “Listen. I’m not in any mood to put up with your fit throwing.” She said, looking at Tristin, who scoffed at her and rolled his eyes. “Or your fucked up comments.” Jack only shrugged and Dahlia rolled her eyes and went to sit at the dining table, kicking her feet up on it. “You two don’t need Dahlia to hold your hand all the way to town.” She spat at Tristin and Brandy. “And I suggest if you don’t want to be out on the street, you keep your mouth shut, I have no problem kicking your ass out.”
Jack rolled his eyes at her. "I have no doubts that you'd kick me out Kenna." He said with a smirk as he stood and came over to stand behind Dahlia, placing his hands on her shoulders, making her wince irritably. "Too bad my dear kid sister wouldn't let you." He laughed cruelly and kissed her cheek. "Anyway," He shrugged, pulling away from her and heading for the door. "I've got my own shit to get for the party." He laughed and slipped out, and Dahlia knew exactly what he was getting. More drugs.
"So you're not coming?" Tristin asked her, giving her one more chance to leave with them and Dahlia shrugged and shook her head before him and Brandy slipped out the door, leaving her and Kennedy alone.
"Damn." She said, glancing around. "This weird. There's no one in our house but us." She looked at Kennedy and raised an eyebrow. "You think Hell froze over?" She teased before sighing and leaning back in her chair. "So, since we're alone..." She said, eyes on her friend. "What's going on? Why do you seem so pissy?" She asked, hoping she wouldn't say it was because of her and Keegan, though she guessed that was part of it.
Nathan made his way back up to the house and spotted Keegan talking with some girl he'd never seen, deciding not to go inside, he slipped around the side of the house and spotted Jack hopping in his car. Nate was still shocked by the fact that Jack had a car, considering the fact that he spent every dime he'd ever gotten on drugs, and he was always wondering where he got his money, but he figured he was just selling his shit for a lot more than he was buying it.
"Jack!" He called, causing his friend to stop. "I need you to do me a favor man." He said, jogging over to him. His friend shrugged.
"You got cash?" He asked, and Nathan scowled, irritated, but nodded and handed him a twenty. He called him his best friend, but Jack could never do anything for someone without getting payed in return. Even him. "Alright, what do you need?"
Nathan gestured to his car. "I need you to take me into town to buy a cell phone, then to my dad's." He hesitated. No one knew about Krista, and he surely didn't want Jack to, so, before Jack asked a bunch of questions, Nathan raised a ten. "And I need you to not ask questions." He said, knowing Jack wouldn't turn down the money.
He grabbed the bill from him and gestured for him to climb in, so he did. He kept his promise, thankfully, and didn't ask him a bunch of questions, driving him to the store, where Nathan bought a cheap cell phone and added the number into his own phone before driving him to his dad's house.
There was a car out front that he assumed belonged to his new girlfriend's, and Nathan sighed and handed the phone to Jack. "Go put it in the mailbox. I can't do it. If my old man sees me, he'll shoot me where I stand." He said and Jack shrugged and took the phone, obviously confused, but unable to ask any questions, he just got out and put it in the mailbox.
"Alright, now take me back." He said, and Jack just nodded and drove him back to Kenna's before peeling off to do whatever it was he was originally going to do. Nathan felt like an intruder, hanging around Kennedy and Dahlia's house without Jack around, so he just took a seat on the porch and called Krista.
"Nate? I thought you had to go?" She said as she picked up the phone.
"I did, but I called to tell you I left you a phone in the mailbox. Go get it before dad finds it. Now you can text me as well as call me, and you can call me anywhere. Just make sure dad doesn't find it." He sighed.
"But, I thought you were going to bring it to me so I can see you?" She asked, sounding a little hurt, and Nate groaned, almost painfully.
"I can't. You know that. I'll figure something out, but for now, I can't see you." He said before telling her, again, that he loved her and he was sorry, and hanging up, throwing his head back with an exhausted sigh.
