Chapter 22
Joe Bandit P.O.V
One 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.

Chasity Dawson P.O.VAfter leaving the classroom and heading off to my first class, I wish I had at least one of my friends in there with me. I took a seat by the window in the back of the class, and it was hard to ignore the other kids in the class. Everyone in the class was so obvious when they were whispering gossips about me. The worst part about that class is that Jenny McGee was in it with me. She had a massive crush on Joe, and has tried to make him fall in love with her ever since middle school. Everyone knew that she considered him hers’ even though they weren’t dating. No one has ever tried to make a move on him because of her, including me.Jenny McGee was characterized as the typical ‘Queen B’ in the school. She was beautiful, smart, rich, slim, and people listened to her, because they were afraid of her. Her heart shaped face, blonde hair, round green eyes, full lips and long legs, drew guys to her, like a mother to a flame. Everyone practically metaphorically tripped over

Chasity Dawson P.O.V I sighed and was massively emotionally exhausted by the time lunch came around. I walked out of my class, stuffed my books into my locker and headed straight to the cafeteria to eat my frustration away. When I walked in, Payton and Maddie were already sitting at our usual table with their lunch plates. I quickly grabbed my lunch plate and sat down on the table, ignoring the stares of the other students.Payton threw a threatening glare and shouted at a group of students staring at us, “What are you looking at!? Keep those big eyes down or I will get up and push it down with my fist.”Their eyes widened with fear, and they quickly looked down at their lunch plate.“How are you holding up?” Maddie asked sympathetically.I covered my face

Joe Bandit P.O.VAs soon as I found out about the rumors that were spreading, I was not mad about it. In fact, I was totally okay with it. That feeling changed when I realized how it might affect Chasity in a bad way. I was not blind to the attention I received from the girls at school, and I know how catty girls can be. So, I was absolutely sure that they would cause trouble for Chasity because of the jealousy they will feel.When Chasity and I left the school, I did everything I could to try and put the smile back on Chasity’s face. We picked up some fast food to eat for lunch and decided where to go next. We ended up deciding to head on over to Chasity’s house, since her mom was not going to be at home all day, and we did not want to get caught for truancy.“Thank you,” said Chasity, as we headed to her house.“For wh

Joe Bandit P.O.VI gave the picture back to her, my hand burning from the picture, as if it is trying to get me to tell her the truth.“I am sure, he would be proud of who are you today,” I said to her, not being able to help myself.She gave me a soft smile and nodded, “I would like to hope so.”I then looked around, trying to think of another topic we could change it to, and noticed that in the collection of DVDs that were stacked in their entertainment; there were a lot of Adam Sandler movies in them. I stood up from the couch and walked to the stack, grabbing out a movie that was one of my favorites.“50 First Dates,” I read out loud, as I chuckled and thought about how much my family and I laughed when we watched this movie.

Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at my father feeling uneasy and replied, “What do you mean when you say that there are some secrets that people will kill to keep a secret? Do you mean that he will go as far as to kill me because I know?”Fear started to fill me, but I pushed it down. I was not a coward and I refuse to let Chasity’s father make me into one.My father shook his head, and paced back and forth, “This man is evil son.” Then as if he was having a flashback of a bad memory, in a hateful tone he added, “He will do whatever he needs to, in order to bend others to his will.”I just watched my father, as he walked back and forth in the study. Running his hands through his hair, as if he was thinking of a solution to a problem.Knock!Knoc
