One month later

"What have you trouble makers been doing in the city this time?" Aston asks.

"Nothing much, same old, same old," I smirk looking at Andrea.

"You're cut up worse than you were when you left," Jackson adds.

"Leave them alone, they're tuff," Hayden says.

"Well we're going to a party later on or a bar I don't know yet," I smile looking over to Andrea who has a smirk plastered across her face. I wonder what is going on in that twisted mind of hers.

"Yea, we're heading out right now, bye guys," she says dragging me out. She's wearing a black shorts that end just past her ass and a black crop top with white heals. I'm wearing a short black leather skirt that when I bend exposing my ass, a light pink crop top with a leather jacket over it, you can kind of see my imprint but, not that bad, and black heals that make me three inches taller. We strut down into grease territory because they have the best bars and we go in. I didn't get to see the name of it though. As we get it Andrea yells, "four rounds of beers for us please."

"Sure thing," he says grabbing out eight beers. I chug down all of them in less that two minutes so does she. We pound beers hours on end until we're both hammered. I walk out into the crowd stumble and laughing. I look over to see Dallas Winston, I would normally avoid him but who cares. I stumble over to him falling into his chest slurring, "hey look who it is, Dallas Winston."

"Kylie, we're going to the Curtis house, come on," he says pulling out of the bar into the cold air.

"Dallas, please, I'm fine, just had a few drinks, like you've never been drunk," I slur fighting to get of his grasp.

"Kylie, we're leaving," he says still grabbing my wrist. I open my mouth but then my stomach starts to flip, I turn around so that I'm not facing him and start to puke."Dammit Kylie, let's go we need to get you to a safe home."

I turn around wiping my mouth slurring out, "I can't go back Dallas, I'm a huntress."

"Kylie, you have to come with me," he says.

"I can't," I gag.

"Kylie, do you feel ok?" He asks noticing me gagging.

"No,my stomach hurts and I feel like I mi-" I get cut off by sudden black.

"She looks awful," I hear a voice say.

"When she wakes up we'll ask her about everything and she'll answer or else we'll get her mother down here."

"She was at a bar, drunk off her ass at a bar, she walked up to me and blacked out so I brought her here," I hear Dallas say, well it must be Dallas.

I open my one eye to see Darry, Dally, and Soda talking. Fuck! I finally speak, "hey guys, I should be leaving." I get up by fall back on my ass not able to stand.

"What happened last night?' Dallas asks.

"I just had one to many," I reply.

"Kylie, if you don't answer all our question your mom is coming,"

"The less ya'll know the better," I said finally gaining the strength to stand up.

"Answer one thing," Soda commanded.

"What?" I asked not saying yes nor no.

"Will we ever see you again?" Soda asked as the rest of the gang walked in eyeing my for my answer.

I grabbed my jacket and started walking out of the door but, a pair of strong arms grabbed me, "is that a no?"

I look at him tears in my eyes,"it's a no, I don't want it to be a no but, it just is! Okay?" I hold back all the tears but, it's obvious I want to. I haven't cried since the promise.

***FLASHBACK***

I was riding midnight, with a huge grin on my face, I bend down wrapping my arms around her large neck. I love riding, it's the only thing that truly makes me happy, the one thing in the world could always make me smile.I got close to the end of the track back to the barn when I hear my mom yelling, "Kylie it's time for dinner!"

I jump off Midnight and walk him back to the barn, before leaving I pet his snout and whisper, "after dinner I'll come out for a ride."

I did as I said but, when I came out Cane, my dad's horse was dead, I felt the tears swell up in my eyes, it's all I have left of him that's alive, I can't loose him. I bend down next to him, to hear a faint heartbeat. "Mom, call the vet it's Cane!" I yell petting Cane whispering over and over again, "stay with me Cane, you're okay." That night we got the news that Cane passed away in her sleep. I cried for the next day straight. I stayed in the barn with Nightmare the whole day. When I was finally leaving I walked up to her, hugged her neck and whispered, "no more crying for me, I promise."

***END OF FLASHBACK***

"You know you can cry in front of us," Steve hugged me.

"No, I can't cry, and I can't stay here, I'm putting ya'll in danger just being here, pretend you don't know me and don't talk to me again," I plead dashing out of the house all the way to the cave.

Soda's P.O.V.

"She looks awful," I say looking at Kylie's cut up bruised body.

"When she wakes up we'll ask her about everything and she'll answer or else we'll get her mother down here," Darry informs us.

"She was at a bar, drunk off her ass at a bar, she walked up to me and blacked out so I brought her here," Dally explains.

"hey guys, I should be leaving," she says waking up and trying to stand up but, falling back down immediately.

"What happened last night?' Dallas asks.

"I just had one to many," she reply.

"Kylie, if you don't answer all our question your mom is coming," I say looking directly at her weak eyes.

"The less ya'll know the better," she said finally standing up.

"Answer one thing," I commanded.

"What?" She asks.

"Will we ever see you again?" I ask as the rest of the gang walked in eyeing her for her answer.

Steve grabs her by her arms as she tries to walk out the door and half asks half answers, "is that a no?"

She look at him tears in her eyes,"it's a no, I don't want it to be a no but, it just is! Okay?" She's obviously holding back tears but why.

"You know you can cry in front of us," Steve hugged her.

"No, I can't cry, and I can't stay here, I'm putting ya'll in danger just being here, pretend you don't know me and don't talk to me again," I pleads dashing out of the house.

"God! She's gone again and we know nothing!" I flip sitting down putting my head in hands out of frustration.

"Soda, I don't think she's healthy right now, and I think she needs help but, doesn't want it and we can't do it if she resists every chance she gets. When Dally brought her here and told us she passed out drunk, I saw how unhealthy she was Soda and I think we should give her, her space. It won't help if we push ourselves on her, she left and there's nothing we can do about it but, get over it," Darry says sitting next to me.

"I know, but I'm just so worried about her," I say.

"We all are," Two-bit say for once serious.

"Let's just let her be, she'll be back," Steve said.
