09.


I sat on the hood of my car, feeling the cool relaxing breeze of the ocean sea spray. I sighed heavily, feeling my lip tremble. I ran my hand through my hair from anxiety, to try and calm down. I was about three city's away from L.A. nowhere near Grayson and Ethan.

Hearing the music on the radio, it was my favourite singer. Jake Miller, I laid down. Taking in the view, watching the sunset. "Done with this game, fucked the same pace. Not even in the same game." I hummed along with the music, as eventually when it got dark. I grabbed a blanket out of my boot of the car, getting into the backseat. Getting comfy, sleeping. As after what felt like a 10 minute sleep, I jumped awake as I saw a cop at the window above me. I put my hand up, knowing I needed to move.

"Yeah I'm moving." I told the cop, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. Climbing into the front seat, starting the car. Driving to a new location, I found a no vacancy hotel. I'll just sleep in my car. As I parked the car, I took the keys out. Locking the door, as my phone buzzed. Seeing I got a messaged from Ethan. Please come back, or at least tell me you were ok. Also Grayson. Deanna, please come back. Tell Ethan or I, that you are ok. We are missing you.

I put my phone on the charger, as I let tears run down my face. Wiping them away quickly, as if someone was going to catch me being weak. I sighed to calm myself down, closing my eyes and trying to get sleep again. As once again, the window being tapped made me wake up. I looked up and saw a fat, sweaty man. Him screaming at me to get off of his land, I just casually nodded. Getting into the front seat of my car, starting it and driving again to a new spot. Wondering and remembering how I use to do this every night before I started dating frank.

I arrived at a heater place, there was a heater on outside in the alley. I parked and locked my car, laying down beside the heater. With the blanket over me, as i felt the comfort from the warmth. I smiled lightly, sighing into a deep sleep.

I heard gunshots, I took off into a sprint. Making my way through the paddocks of an old abandoned farm, screaming as a bullet his my arm. Seeing I was covered in blood.

I skidded to a stop, as a car ran me over and I was flat like a cartoon. Hearing a bang.

"Wake up!" I jumped awake, as I saw a cop in front of me. "Little lady, second time." It was the cop from the beach.

"Sorry sir." I told him getting to my feet, wrapping the blanket in my arms.

"You'll have to come down to the cop station, as it's the second time sleeping on the streets and from what I've seen of that pretty little head. You are wanted in some states in the USA." I sighed heavily, knowing the only person who would get the cops to get me. The broken rose gang. "Get in that car and come down to the station."

"Yes sir." I told him, walking to my car. Getting into it and following him down to the station, hitting my stirring wheel. Knowing I'm either getting close to death, or it's a big misunderstanding.

Pulling into the station, I followed the cop inside. Filling in a report, giving it to the officer. "Is there anyone I can ring?" He questioned, I had no one. Only uncle reggie. "Don't worry, ill search you up." I sat in that cold room for hours, soon smiling at a voice I haven't heard in forever. Oh dear Uncle Reggie.

"I'm here to pick up my niece!" He came into the cop station, full loud voice. Making an entrance like he always does. "Now where is my Deanna?" Reggie stated, as he was being cheeky. Seeing the sheriff, who was shit scared of my uncle. I could tell by the way he was, he felt small. I smirked, evilly.

"Mr-." Reggie then cut him off.

"Oh please! Call me Reggie."

"Uhhh." The sheriff stuttered. "I'll half to warn you and tell you a few things about your niece Deanna."

"Oh please do, love my lil cupcake." As soon as reggie said cupcake, I covered my face in embarrassment. He called me that for the first year of kindergarten, I got bullied cause of it. But that lasted a day, as reggie came to school dropping me off with Lucille. It scared the kids shitless. Sheriff went to the computer, seeing by his look. Something was up.

"Deanna had time in a all women's prison." Sheriff begun.

"Oh I know."

"She's been caught sleeping in her car in illegal spots-." Then my uncle reggie said something that was actually smart.

"So homeless people who sleep literally in their own shit, can sleep anywhere. Not getting in trouble, but my niece can't sleep in her car?"

"Not just that, Deanna is not suitable. She should be back in prison or be-."The sheriff didn't get to finish his sentence, as I knew and Reggie knew he was about to say something threatening my life. It's always been from the beginning since I've been with reggie, if something offends me or threatens me. It also threatens and offends him.

"You are not sending my kid anywhere or hurting her, but did you just threaten me?.

The sheriff was confused. "N-no." Seeing Lucille wasn't with reggie.

"Release my kid before I get Lucille out, cause Lucille is getting hungry. She hasn't been fed in a while." Reggie said as the sheriff was confused, I yelled out.

"It's his baseball bat! Wrapped in barbwire!" It was normal, the cops know reggie and I aren't the most normal people. Our history is on records, most cops are scared of reggie.

"Get me my kid." Reggie told in a way meaning business, I could literally see on the sheriffs face he was terrified. He opened the door for me to be let out, I got up and ran to reggie. He embraced me into a hug, as he whispered to me. "We've got a lot of catching up to do." I nodded, as reggie and I looked to the sheriff. "Have a nice day." Reggie told the sheriff, as we walked out of the station. Relieved to finally be with my uncle again, but I know he isn't here for just a family reunion.
