Chapter 17
Joe Bandit P.O.V
The next day at school, I could hardly focus. I could not even if I tried. Now here I am in my History class, ignoring everything that Mrs. Cooper is saying, and instead, in my mind, I can’t help but keep replaying everything from last night. From sneaking out to see Chasity, to then later on having that crazy conversation with my dad. After seeing my dad’s reaction; I was conflicted.
On one hand, I was sort of glad that I did not tell Chasity about her father, but on the other hand, another part of me felt awful. I had so much questions that needed to be answered. When my father nodded his head, it opened a box I had, with full of questions. I now feel like I am more clueless then I ever was before.
I groaned and wiped my face, frustrated with this whole situation. Somehow, I feel like I am about to find out something worse, than I thou

Joe Bandit P.O.VMy eyes narrowed as I watched him walk towards Chasity. I caught myself taking a step forward, but stopped. Realistically, I had no attachment to Chasity other than the help I am receiving from her. We are not friends, like how I am with Gio and John. We are not related either. So, what good excuse would I have to go over there and punch Hunter’s face in.Woah, where did that violent thought come from? I thought to myself.I shook my head, and shut my locker tight, with so much force. It shook and made a sound that was louder than I realized. Students that were talking, stopped and looked at me when they heard the sound. Even Chasity, her friends, hunter and his friends. I felt a bit embarrassed at the overdramatic and unreasonable anger I had let slip, that I started to pretend that there was something wrong with my locker.

Chasity Dawson P.O.VI wanted to smack my forehead.“Just because you what?” asked Joe.I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and replied “What?”“What were you going to say Dawson?” Joe asked as he stepped closer.I wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Sometimes, my mouth just moves faster than my brain. I looked a Payton and Maddie for help. The had mischievous smiles on their faces as they looked at each other. Sending a message with their eyes, that I could easily read. A message that said Let’s leave her here with Joe alone.“Come on Maddie, I do not want to be late to class,” Payton said in a nonchalant tone, as she pulled Maddie with her down the hall.I knew what she was trying to do, so I

Chasity Dawson P.O.VOnce we walked out the school, I pulled my phone out and made sure to text Payton, that I was leaving the school with Joe.CHASITY: Hey P, Joe is giving me a ride to his house. My mom texted and said she finished work early.I did not have to wait a second for her to reply, because Payton replied really quick.PAYTON: YOU ARE CATCHING A RIDE WITH JOE!?I could practically hear her loud questions screaming through the phone. Maddie is probably right next to her too, burning with questions that wanted immediate answers.CHASITY: Yeah.PAYTON: JOE BANDIT!?CHASITY: Yes.PAYTON: Maddie said you have a lot of tea to spill tomorrow.I rolled my eyes, and smiled; a bit amusement.

Chasity Dawson P.O.V“Come on, tell us,” Gio said with a smile. “I will not tell a soul. We Sicilian men are very honorable. I will keep my word,” Gio added with a wink.I looked at him with conflict. I do not know these two very well. I only know about them, there is a difference. In the end I decided to reply with a lie.“I used to think he was mean and snobby,” I lied with a sheepish look. “Now I know that I am wrong,” I added with an apologetic look.John threw a chip in his mouth and titled his head, decided if he should believe me or not; Gio’s expression mirrored his.“If you are lying, we will find out Dawson,” John said with a teasing look.I rolled my eyes and grabbed some chips from him, and replied, “I am not lying, so I do not know what else you will find out.”Gio turned away and walked to a table, grabbing the remote and said, “We will leave it alone for now Chasity.”I inwardly sighed in relief.“For now,” John smirked, emphasizing his comment.I rolled my eyes, and loo

Joe Bandit P.O.VOne of the things I am awful at, is lying. I feel guilt-ridden every time I see Chasity’s face. Whenever I see her smile, I think about if it would still be there if she knew the truth. When I saw the tears forming in her eyes last night, I felt like a monster putting it there. She is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. I never seen her gloomy or furious, until last night. I would do anything to keep that smile on her face, and save her from the darkness of the cruelty this world has to offer.Now here I am in the kitchen making a senseless milkshake trying to convince myself that it will make me feel better. This temporary relief, like how people believe that alcohol with take away people’s pain. Ignoring that it is temporary and untrue. I stopped the blender and poured the milkshake into a cup, added the whip cream, put a metal straw in it and just stood there.

Joe Bandit P.O.V“What is going on in here?” said two other voices, in a teasing tone. Chasity and I pulled away from each other. Both of us looking like we got caught with our hands in the cookie jar. Chasity and I looked towards the door and saw my two friends watching us; with grins wider than that Cheshire cat on the Alice in Wonderland movie.These two come at the worst time, I growled to myself.I started to walk away from Chasity to take care of my two meddlesome friends, but a thought suddenly crossed my mind. I stopped and turned back to Chasity, cupping her face in my hands. I do not care if my friends hear this. I just hope she believes me. I looked at her straight in

Joe Bandit P.O.VShe scoffed, and shook her head. Then looked at me with playful eyes, “You are unbelievable Bandit.”“Are you done with your milkshake?” I asked, nodding to it with my head.She shook her head in reply. We made small talk, while she finished her drink and did not come out of the kitchen until she was done. After leaving the kitchen we went in search of Gio and John. I am grateful that those two left us alone. I just broke through the wall that Chasity put up in front of me. I do not want anyone to mess things up for me and do something that will cause her to put them back up.Gio and John were in the living room playing video games. When we came in, we all decided to do the assignment that we were given by Mrs. Cooper. So, there we all sat on the ground, using the living room table to do our homework. While Gi

Chasity Dawson P.O.V“So, are you and Joey talking a lot now?” my mother asked with a teasing smile.After leaving Joe’s house, my mother and I decided to pick up pizza for dinner, and watch a movie together. So here we now sit in front of the tv on the couch, enjoying our pizza and spending time together. She works so hard, that sometimes we aren’t able to spend much time, because she ends up falling asleep as soon as she got home.I sighed and a smile formed on my mouth. I remember when she would tell me that there is no way I could avoid speaking to him forever. I would not be surprised if she said “I told you so,” before the end of the night, to me.“Yeah,” I said with a chuckle.“I told you so,” she with playful eyes, and gave me a light shove.
