"Boys and girls of every age. Wouldn't you like to see something strange? Come with us and you will see, this, our town of Halloween. This is Halloween, this is Halloween. Pumpkins scream in the dead of night. This is Halloween, everybody make a scene. Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright. It's our town, everybody scream. In this town of Halloween." Me and Venge sang loudly, sitting on the couch with Ville.
"Shut up!" Bam cried, throwing a pillow at us.
I scowled, "Millionaire, I'm gonna throw a stick in front of your skateboard!" I threatened.
Venge looked at us, trying not to snicker. "Sexual tension." She muttered so only Ville and I would hear.
I glared and smacked her, throwing the pillow at Bam then jumping on top of him.
"Fuck! Lo', get off me!" He said, wheezing.
"What'll you do if I don't?" I asked, looking down at him.
"Throw all your clothes in the pool after filling it with bleach." He said, looking up at me.
"I'd like to see you try!" I said, falling to the floor with an 'oof' when he pushed me off.
"Life Partner!" Bam called, standing and smirking down at me.
"Bam, no!" I said, grabbing his arm to stop him from moving.
"Hold her." He said when Novak showed up.
"Yes! I get to grope on Fast Company." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Novak, if you don't let me go, I will make sure that right now will be the last time you have the use of your genitals." I said angrily.
Glomb came in, grabbing my legs. "Sorry, Lotus. Bam told me to."
"Glomb, since when are you Bam's bitch?" Venge asked, watching all this amused.
"Since he cuts my paychecks." He said, walking with Novak towards the Pirate Bar stairs.
"Guys, I swear to GOD, if you drop me, I'll kill you both." I said, fighting against them.
"Glomb... Novak... What're you doing with mom?" Vy asked, walking in with Raab from school.
"Bam's orders." Novak stated, smiling at my daughter and going through the back door.
"Vy! Help me!" I screamed, fighting against them more.
"I don't wanna." She said, laughing.
"Vyra Rose Daughtry! You're so-" I was cut off by the water surrounding my head.
"Washing machine!" Bam screamed, laughing, throwing all my clothes into the pool, adding eight large containers of liquid detergent, having Novak stir the water with a large bamboo pole.
I scowled at him, "Bam, you are an asshole!" I screamed, swimming over to the steps to get out, only to be pushed back in by Shitbird. "Motherfucker! I don't even fucking know you!"
"I'm Matt, Bam's uncle." He said, smiling.
I turned to Bam, seeing him laughing at me. "This isn't funny! The only one in your family that I can stand is Jess and your parents!" I said, picking up a shirt of mine and throwing it at him, which he dodged.
"None of that shit, Lo'." He said, throwing it back in the water, picking up a bottle of bleach, and unscrewing the cap. "We don't want this to get messy." He said threateningly, holding the bottle over the water.
"Okay, okay! Don't put the bleach in, Bam!" I cried, standing in the shallow in, shivering a little considering it was September.
"Then do something for us." Novak said, straddling the diving board, his toes skimming the soapy water.
I looked at him, "Like what?"
"Get naked." Ville suggested from the deck above us.
I glared up at him when all the guys agreed.
"Come on, Lo'. Naked or all your clothes get bleached." Bam said, tipping the bottle sideways a little.
"Wait. Before she does that, I just want to ask this:" Venge said, from beside Ville, getting ready to go inside, not wanting to see me naked. "How did you get so much detergent so fast?"
Glomb looked up at her and raised his hand, "Picked it up on my way here. He was planning this before whatever happened." He said, smirking.
I glared at him, "Timothy." I warned angrily.
"He pays me, Lotus."
"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes, making sure Venge had gone inside before I peeled my shirt off.
"Fast Company's one fine bitch." Novak said, getting a semi.
I rolled my eyes at him, reaching down to unbutton my jeans, when I was interrupted, thankfully, even if it was by the worst person I'd ever met.
"What's going on?!" Missy asked angrily, looking at the guys standing around the pool. "Bam! Why are there clothes in the pool? And WHY is that...girl shirtless?"
"We were just playin' a joke, Miss." He said, scowling.
I took the opportunity to get out of the pool, shivering, wrapping the towel around myself that Dico was holding.
"Oh, so you just randomly decide that it's fun to have the girl who hit your wife to strip in our pool?" She berated.
"It was just a joke, Missy." I said, wiping myself off and pulling the cKy zip hoodie on that Shitgoose had for me, walking over. "It was all in good fun, stop being an anal twat." I said, glaring.
"Don't you dare start shit with me, Kalyn." She spat venomously. "You runaway wannabe fake prostitute." She said.
I glared at her, pulling the hoodie off, pushing it into Bam's hand and cracking my knuckles. I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her into the pool, holding her under the water. "YOU STUPID BITCH! YOU FUCKING TALK TO ME LIKE THAT AGAIN AND I WILL KILL YOU!" I screamed, smiling with sick satisfaction as she thrashed about.
"Lotus!" Bam screamed, dropping the stuff in his arms and jumping in the pool to pull me and Missy apart, Glomb, Novak, Shitbird, Shitgoose and Dico all joining in to help.
"What'd I miss?" I heard Venge ask Ville walking back out onto the deck.
"Missy called Lotus a wannabe fake prostitute, and she attacked Missy." Ville explained.
She glared, disappearing into the house. "You stupid, Who-looking piece of worthless golddigging trash!" We heard her scream, joining us all outside.
"Oh, don't even join in this, bitch. This isn't your fight." Missy said, clinging to Bam.
Venge laughed evilly, throwing a right hook into Missy's nose. "Call me a bitch again, see if I don't make some more improvements on that fucked up face of yours." She said calmly, walking back inside.
I smiled smugly at her, looking to Bam. "I'll be in my room." I said, more for him than anyone else.
"Guys, get all this shit outta the pool." He said, helping his wife inside and to their room.
-------------------------------------------------
I sat on my bed, laughing with Venge and Vy about some stuff, when we heard a knock on the door.
"Lotus... Kalyn... Can we talk?" Bam asked, walking into the room.
I nodded, getting off the bed and zipping the cKy hoodie from earlier up, since my clothes were being dried. "Look, I just want to start off with saying that I'm sorry. I understand if you want to kick us out. I mean, we did hit her." I said, walking across the back field beside Bam.
"Nah. I'm not kicking you out. She deserved it. She's been getting increasingly bitchier by the day. Ever since we got married." He said, going up the steps to Fast Eddies, leaning against the railing. "She's... moving out."
My jaw dropped, "Bam, I'm... Because of us?" I asked, astonished, feeling terrible for him, even if it was Missy that we were discussing. "Don't let her leave, Bam. We'll go."
He shook his head, "We've been growing apart. Yeah, we've been friends since we were twelve, but she's changed a lot since then. Her family's all snooty and shit, it's just terrible." He said, pulling a pack of cigarette's from his pocket, offering one to me, which I took.
We stood there next to each other in silence for a while, smoking and staring at the moon.
"Thank you." He said after a few minutes.
I looked over at him, "For what?" I asked.
"Listening. I mean, all the guys listen and shit, but... I can't really be serious with them about this stuff." He said, looking over and smiling. "You're like my guardian angel." He said.
I blushed, "If I'm yours, then you're mine. You saved me, too." I said quietly.
"Lo'?" He asked, his voice a little over a whisper.
"Yeah, B?"
He leaned over and pressed his lips to mine softly, pulling back after a few minutes. "You won't tell anyone about that, right?"
I looked at him, shocked, shaking my head. "Not even Venge."
He ground the butt of the cigarette out on the railing where I had done the same thing with mine and started down the stairs. "It's nice to have someone to talk to around here. A chick that doesn't go ape shit when I do shit to them like you and Venge and Vy." He said as we started the trek up to the house.
"Yeah, well, when you never really had a great childhood, you kind of tend to make up for it in later years." I said, pushing him down into a mud puddle, running back up to the house. "That's for the washing machine!" I yelled, running back into the house with a laugh.
