Laws Are Meant For Breaking Chapters 6-10

 

Chapter 6

 

Gia was in a dark room there were barely any lights on, except or the light glow of the street lights. Her mother had left to go get groceries and here she was home alone with this man. Her stepfather, she felt nothing but pure hatred for this man. She could feel her blood boil. She sat there playing with a coloring book. She had her back against the wall. She felt safe knowing she could see what he was doing at all times. She watched him go get another beer. Her mommy had no idea what this man was like.
Nikolas couldn’t get to sleep. He decided that some hot cider or a glass of water would do the trick. He descended down the stairs and saw Gia stir a little. He tiptoed across the room to the kitchen

He was coming to her. She could feel her body cringe. ‘Gia come here, want to have some fun? I want to have some fun. She moved her small body closer to the wall; she didn’t want to have fun. She wanted her mommy. ‘Go away…I don’t want to have fun.’ She watched as the man’s massive hand came slapping across her face ‘you want to have fun!’ she winced again and again as he hit her.

Nikolas came back into the room and saw Gia squirm and squirm. He could see her body was trembling. He watched some unsure of how he should take action.

‘Stop…I don’t want to play.’ She felt her little 9yr old body tremble again. She felt his foot ram into her stomach. ‘stop’ “STOP STOP!”

Nikolas walked over to Gia. “Gia, wake up. Gia…” He stroked her face slowly. “Its alright…wake up.”

Gia slowly came out of conscience and jumped up. She had tears in her eyes. She was breathing heavily. She felt his hand come closer to her face and she screamed. “CASHETTE!!” She moved away from him.

Nikolas was startled by her actions and moved away. He looked to the stairs as he saw the three racing down the stairs to the couch. He saw the fear in all their eyes. He moved away as they came

“Gia honey its alright. We are all here.” Cashette hugged her best friend and calmed her with her voice “Its alright now. Look its me and Chase…everything is fine. Jared go get her some water. Shhsshhh.” She stroked her hair. She could feel the tears coming to her eyes. Gia hadn’t had a dream like this in a long time.

Nikolas didn’t know what to do. Had he done anything? “Listen Gia I didn’t mean to scare you or anything. I…you were trembling…I just thought I’d wake you up…sorry.”

Chase looked at Nikolas he was genuinely scared and sorry. “Its not your fault. She just had a bad dream…and you scared her. Don’t worry about it. Go to bed, Cashette will take care of it.”

Jared walked back in with the water. “Hey G. Here’s some water.”

Gia looked at him and tried to smile. She hated doing this to everyone. It wasn’t fair to them. “Thanks but you know I’m fine now. I just got a little spoke you know…must have been the food.” She laughed. She knew they all knew she was trying to calm herself down. They all knew what happened except for Nik but he didn’t really…count. “I’m tired…I think I just want to go to bed. Thanks you guys.” She put her glass down and lay back on the couch. Hope they would all just leave peacefully and forget about what had happened.

“If that’s what you want. But I’m right upstairs just holler if you need me.” She hugged her again and lead them all back upstairs. “Come let’s get to bed.”

She watched as the four left her. She let out a sigh. She hated those dreams. They seemed so real, she was over the whole thing…but the dreams where the worst part of it. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths hoping to fall back asleep but knowing that the dreams would creep back and cause her a torturous sleep

Chapter 7

 

The patio in the backyard.

Nikolas walked outside to feed Sheba when he saw Cashette sitting there with some orange juice. “Good morning.”

She turned to see him smiling. She smiled back “Good morning to you too.”

He scratched his head. “So what was that all about last night? I mean…she just freaked. Does that always happen? Or just when she goes away.”

She tensed as he talked about last night. She wasn’t a big fan of these talks unless it was with Gia. This guy didn’t need to know a lot about what Gia had been through. “Yah don’t worry about it. It doesn’t have anything to do with you. Just forget it.”

He was a little annoyed at the fact that he offered his home to these people and now she wouldn’t tell him what happened last night. “I think I have a right to know!” He could feel his anger rise a little

She stood up and spun around so she was directly in his face. “Listen here NIK cause I am saying it once! It is NONE of your business. If Gia feels the need to tell you then fine…although don’t hold your breath! And don’t mention it ever again! AND if I find out you did…well lets just say I’ll raise a little Hell…just like the song.” She pushed past him. Why did he have to be so…noisy? Did he think that she would just indulge him in whatever he wanted to know? She walked into the living room to find Gia reading the paper. “Hey Hun. How are you?”

Gia knew what she meant and was thankful that no one was around. “Horrible. I thought I was done! I haven’t had a dream like that in forever. It has been months upon months and now I get it. Do you know how embarrassed I felt last night! I mean NIKOLAS had to find me trembling like some…FREAK! Oh…and my head hurts from crying. I feel like crap.” She rubbed her temples.

“Hey its alright. I mean just be glad that he didn’t blast you with questions. Everything will be fine…trust me!” She smiled at her. And if something did happen she would just break his neck. Nothing to worry about.

Gia looked at her curiously “You threatened him didn’t you?”

She was caught. “Well kind of not really just a calm talk…”

“I could hear you from here so I don’t believe you! You threatened someone for me? That is so sweet of you.” She gave her a huge hug.

“Well what are friends for!” She smiled. “So what is the plan? I mean are we staying or leaving or staying”

Gia yawned and stretched “Well not here. I don’t want to use our welcome. We can talk when everyone else gets up.” She turned and saw Nikolas standing there watching them. She looked at Cashette who noticed him too.

She got up and left. “I am gonna go wake up Jared.” She scowled at Nikolas warning him with her eyes.

“Good morning Gia. You want some coffee?” He sat down beside her and passed her a cup of coffee

“Thank Nik. Listen about last night. I know Cay ‘talked’ to you. But I just wanted to say thanks for waking me up. I don’t really want to talk about what it was all about, but I am really grateful for you waking me. And I am sorry that I acted kind of…weird.” She looked into her coffee.

“Hey no problem. So, are you gonna stay in Port Charles?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t you mean Port Chuck?” She smiled remembering the way Luke had said it.

“You’ve been talking to much to Luke haven’t you.” He smiled at her. He watched as she nodded and laughed.

“Yah I did. He is one of my favorite people I’ve met here so far.” She avoided his gaze with everything she had in her. Now wasn’t the time Gia.

“Yah well, just be careful of that guy. He isn’t exactly...a good guy.”

He turned when he heard a knock on the door. He got up and opened it. There was Liz and Lucky standing in front of him. “Hey you two. Want some coffee?”

Liz walked past him. “No thanks Nik. So you are safe they didn’t steal anything?” She looked at Gia who was now perched on the arm of the chair.

Lucky walked to Liz and put his hand on Liz’s shoulder. “Come on Liz you don’t even know them.” He looked at Gia and instantly felt nervous again. “My name is Lucky. We haven’t had a proper introduction.” He held out his hand

Gia’s face softened as she shook it. “I like the name Lucky. So are you lucky?”

Liz stepped forward trying to defend her man. “Yes he is because he has me!” She batted her eyes and put her arm around Lucky’s waist.

Gia looked at her. “Hmmm…” She looked at Lucky “Must not be that Lucky of a name.” She got up and watched as Nik held in a laugh with a ‘cough’ “So Nikki do you know any good restaurants to eat at? I am really hungry and your fridge…only has milk and…milk.” She smiled and turned to look at Liz again. This girl was amazing. She was so fake and annoying. She was like a little yappy dog that you could never get to shut up.

Chase bounded down the stairs and stopped as he looked at Gia’s eyes they were soft and cold he knew her so well she was ready to fight. “GIA! Just the lovely lady I was looking for! I was thinking…now that you won that money what are ‘we’ gonna do?”

Gia raised an eyebrow. And walked away from Nik by brushing past his shoulder “WE? I don’t think there is a we involved in this one.”

“What money? I thought you didn’t have any money? That’s why you were staying here. Your lying aren’t you? Nikolas I told you…”

“I actually got the money from Nikki.” She smiled at Nik who she could tell was slowly getting use to her calling him Nikki.

“YOU DID STEAL!”

“No actually your little friend over here tried to race Gia…but he lost and had to pay the price…humility and money.” Chase walked past Liz and flopped on the couch. “So are we gonna eat soon? Cause me and Jared are dying for some grub!”

Lucky looked at Gia. “You mean those hot cars your guys?” He watched as the two nodded their heads. “WOW! Can I get a drive in one of those things? The Saleen, that is a nice car. Is that yours Chase?”

“Nope, but you can get a ride in my Diablo. The Saleen is Gia’s” He smiled and winked at Gia who winked back.

Nikolas watched the interaction and was slightly jealous. I mean Gia wasn’t his, but he didn’t like the two friendly exchange. “Yah Lucky you should have seen her whip my butt! It was past humiliating, I wanted to drag myself into a hole plus she won a grand from me. Don’t ever race her.”

“Gia could I get a ride in it. I mean if it’s not a lot of trouble. I would love it! I love those cars!” He was smiling now and his open kind character was flowing through.

Gia walked over to him. “Lets go. Chase tells the others to meet us at that Kelly’s place in 20 min. I am gonna go give lucky a ride.”

Lucky walked over to Liz and kissed her “I love you. I’ll be right back.” He kissed her again.

Gia smiled at Liz who looked like she wanted to scream. “Bye Lizzie!” She smiled a fake sugary smile and closed the door.

Chapter 8

Gia’s Car

Lucky was in awe of this car and he was very impressed with the way she was driving. “You must practice a lot to be so good at the shifting and what not. MAN look at you go. You’re a speed demon!” He laughed. He hadn’t had this much fun in a long time. All he ever did was sit at Kelly’s and watch Liz. Or go to Liz’s painting shop and watch her do her thing. He didn’t really have a lot of hobbies that he really did anymore. It was all about Liz…not him.

Gia looked at him, she could tell he was thinking really in-depth at the moment. His brows were swooshed together and his eyes were squinting. “So you like cars I take it?”

He looked up at her and relaxed his face. “I love cars and engines. I use to work at this shop with a guy named Jason Morgan you know him?” He stopped and looked at her and chuckled. “I guess not considering that you just got here. Sorry about that one. So anyway I use to fix bikes and stuff with him. He had a little auto body shop. It was great, but then he left and I haven’t really had time to get back into it. With dating Liz and all.”

She let out a sigh; this man was whipped to the core. “Yah I can’t really see Little Miss Powder being the type of person to let you do whatever you wanted to. You should really get back into it. I mean if its something that you love well then…you should never stop. So you want to give her a drive?” She watched him as his smile grew. “I take that is a yes?” She laughed and smiled as he nodded her head.

He couldn’t believe she was gonna let him drive her car. He looked as she was laughing and pulling over to the side. She had a beautiful laugh and her eyes twinkled when she smiled. “Are you sure? I mean I don’t know if this is really the best idea. You don’t even know what type of a driver I am. And you are willing to take the risk?”

She parked the car and opened the door. “I trust you know how to drive it. You fixed engines and I am sure you know how a stick shift works. And plus…if you break anything I’ll have to kill you.” She winked at him.

He didn’t really know what to say. But the wink hinted that she was just joking…kind of. He hopped out of the passenger seat and walked around the front. “You know how nice of a car this is?”

“Yes I do. Now get in, and drive!” She hopped in the passenger seat and watched Lucky slowly get in. She could tell he was taking in everything around him. “So, take me to Kelly’s Jeeves.” She smiled at him.

“Of course Madam.” He pretended to tip his hat and watched her laugh again. “So…how fast can she get up to?”

“Give it a try.” She nodded as he looked at her in disbelief.

“You want me to speed?”

“Only if you want to test how fast she can go. If not than whatever, you are driving so drive how you want to drive.” She looked at herself in the mirror and then back to Lucky.

“I don’t want to scare you though.”

“Trust me Lucky there isn’t anything that scares me. Now show me what you are made of!” She leaned back in the seat.

He put it into first and pushed on the gas and released the clutch. He felt his body get pushed back by the force of it. He felt wild and free, something he hadn’t felt in a long time. He looked at her; she was leaning back with a smile on her face. He looked back on to the road and pinned it.

Kelly’s

Liz looked at her watch they had been gone for half an hour. She looked at Emily who was laughing with that Chase fellow. “Isn’t anyone concerned! I mean…what has she done with my fiancée!”
Chase had been sitting there for 10 minutes listening to this Liz girl whine about Lucky or her ‘fiancé’ he had enough. “Listen LIZ. Gia hasn’t done anything with your ‘FIANCE” that he hasn’t wanted to, or asked for! Now…will you just be quiet before the rest of us have to be booked in an asylum because of your whining!” He sternly looked at her and looked back at Emily who was holding in laughter. “Man. So, where do you live?”

Emily was smiling at him. He was funny, and Liz did deserve it. I mean Lucky was fine, he was what…23 he could take care of himself. Didn’t Liz know that by now! I mean she had been dating him forever and she still didn’t trust him. “I live up on the hill. The Quartermaine’s Estates, its pretty much like living in an asylum. Grandfather yells and my parents…well I wouldn’t really call them parents but…whatever. So where are you from?” She took a sip of her water.

“Well my crew is from Brooklyn. I love it there but Gia had pushed me and pushed me saying that coming here for a bit would be a lot of fun. But there isn’t a lot to do around here. Although that Luke guy, now he is a funny character. I like him a lot. We may go back there again tonight. He said there is some concert happening there. But we will have to see.”

“Really? Luke is actually Lucky’s father. He is a real good guy. Well, Port Charles can get kind of boring, but something is always happening. Trust me.”

“Luke agreed. Lucky’s father eh? Never would have guessed. Luke has so much energy and well Lucky seems kind of bland. Maybe it is the chic he is with. I bet right now he is having the time of his life. Gia has a way of doing that to people. She makes you feel alive again, its part of her allure. Everyone just seems to gravitate to her.”

Emily thought about what he had just said. She hoped Lucky didn’t do anything too stupid. Like hand glide or something. “So are you and Gia…together?”

Chase smiled. “I wish! She is everything a guy could want, but no. We are just friends. See Cashette and Jared they are a couple and Cashette or Cay is my sis.”

Emily looked over at Jared, Cashette, and Nikolas all talking. They all seemed like really nice people. Not fake like some people she knew. She turned to look at Liz who was biting her nail in worry. “That’s cool. So you four just drive everywhere? Nikolas was telling me Gia drives a hot car. Something about a….Sallan…no…what is it?”

He chuckled “A Saleen S7. Yah it is a hot car, fast little sucker too. Jared over there has the yellow Corvette and I drive the two toned Diablo. Hey, you should come to Luke’s with us tonight. I could pick you up and everything. You want to?”

Emily could feel herself blush. I can’ t believe he just asked me out. “Sure, why not.” She looked out the window and saw Gia and Lucky laughing. She turned and looked at Liz who had also noticed the two. She leaned closer to Chase “Get ready for World War 3.” She pointed to the window and then to Liz.

“Gia I love that car. I mean she is amazing…the handling! OH THE HANDLING!! She…can I have her?” He pleaded with his eyes.

“I don’t think so! She is all mine.” She looked at Liz who was ready to burst. “Ummm…twelve o’clock boogie.”

Lucky looked at her “What?”

Gia pointed to Liz who was standing there with tears in her eyes. Oh man, can she get any worse.

“Liz what’s wrong? You should’ve seen how fast I was going! How fast was it…120 miles at least! It was the best ever! You really should have come.” He walked over to her and put his hands on her forearms.

“I WOULD HAVE IF I WAS INVITED!! And what are you doing speeding! It’s against the law! What if you were killed! And why where you gone so long! I mean…WHY! Don’t you have any respect for the way I feel and what not? Had you ever thought that maybe I was hurt!” She wiped a tear from her cheek.

Lucky could physically feel the chains wrap tighter around his already chocking neck “Calm down! I was just having fun.”

“Yah Speeding is again the law Lucky and you know it!”

Gia had been quiet far to long. “Listen Lizzie. He was just having a good time. And besides the laws are meant for breaking every once and a while. I mean you know he likes car…you being his fiancé and all.” She smiled sassy at her.

Liz looked around the room. “Lucky I never knew you liked cars…you never said anything.”

He felt like he was gonna burst. He had enough of her lying and fakeness and pretending she was perfect! I mean what was he getting himself into? His fiancé didn’t even know he had a love for cars! “Yes I love cars! But you wouldn’t notice because everything is about you and what YOU want! What about what I want huh? Have you ever paid any attention to how I feel or what I enjoy!”

“Of course.” She went to rub his cheek but he moved away. “Lucky…”

“I remember one time I asked if we could go to the car show and you got all mad because you wanted to paint! I told you Em and I were gonna go and you threw this fit and I had to phone Em and cancel the plans because you were upset! You know what…maybe we shouldn’t be getting married! I mean I don’t feel like always being second and never being counted! I am a great person! And quite frankly I deserve better!!” He turned and walked away from her to the door.

Liz stood there not knowing how to react to Lucky. She looked at Gia who was standing beside Chase and Emily. This was her fault. “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT GIA!!” She walked over to her with her eyes steaming with anger.

Chapter 9

Lucky couldn’t believe what Liz was saying. “THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GIA!! Get over it!”

Gia stood her ground. What did this flake think she was gonna do? “No it actually is your fault! Have you even taken the time to see what Lucky was all about! I probably know more about him than you know and I went for a 30 minute car drive with him!”

“Must be your slutty ways! You probably taunted him with something, SLUT!” She tried to slap her but felt her hand stop in mid air.

“Don’t you ever talk to me that way again. You understand, because next time you won’t be so fortunate.” She threw Liz’s arm to her side.

All the eyes were on Liz and Gia. Cashette could feel herself getting ready to leap but Jared had her held down with his arms around her waist. Holding to tight to get away from.
“Oh yah what are you gonna do SLUT! You know…I bet you came from some dysfunctional family! Or maybe you learnt from your mother how to be a whore!”

Gia’s fist pulled back and shot into a right hook. She watched as Liz’s head flung to the side. “Don’t you ever talk to me that way EVER again.” She turned around walked out the doors. Leaving Liz holding her face. She could hear chairs moving and felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Chase standing behind her.

“Come here.” He pulled her into a hug. He could feel her arms quickly wrap around his neck. “She is just some annoying girl who doesn’t know when to shut up. Just be glad she doesn’t know the whole history.

Gia pulled away and wiped the tear in her eye. “Just be glad all I did was punch her” She laughed. “Lets get back in there.” She turned and headed for the dinner and she noticed that Nikolas was starring at her. She opened the door and sat down by Nikolas and Cashette and Jared who hadn’t moved since the punch. “So, rich boy why aren’t you over there helping her? Isn’t she your friend?” She cocked any eyebrow.

Nikolas looked as Lucky went over there and told her that they needed to talk. They both climbed the stairs and disappeared. “She doesn’t need me. Never has. So that was a pretty impressive right hook you got going there. Remind me never to get on your bad side.” He smiled at her. She was gorgeous and he wanted to so badly know what made her tick and what she had gone through.

Jared smacked his back “Best lesson when she warns you…listen. So are you gonna come to Luke’s with us tonight? Chase, Emily pull up a chair.” He motioned for the other two to come over. He slid over pulling Cay with him.

Nikolas looked at Gia who was quietly sitting there rubbing her hand. “Hey Gia come here.” He pushed his chair away and helped her out of her chair. He led her to the back of Kelly’s and into the kitchen “Your knuckles look a little sore. Lets get you some ice.”

She looked into his eyes. He was concerned and it made her feel better realizing that he wasn’t some guy that would do whatever but that he actually had his own instincts and followed through with them. “Yah, I am not use to punching people but there is a first time for everything. So are you gonna come to Luke’s tonight?” She tried to act casual but there was something about this guy that she wanted to learn more about.

“Well, that all depends on you.” He wrapped up the ice.

“On me?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Yah on you. See, I would like to come, but I kind of want to know if you want me to come.” He placed the ice pack on her knuckles. He watched her squirm.

“If you keep making it hurt you won’t be walking anywhere.” He watched as he stepped back. “I am joking. If you want to come you can come.” She didn’t want to beg him to come. But she was enjoying his presence more and more.

“Okay well I am gonna come.” He leaned forward to look at her knuckles. They looked tender and red. He lifted his face and looked into her eyes. They almost seemed clouded like they were trying to block him from seeing something else.

She kind of wanted him to kiss her but she wasn’t sure what would happen. She didn’t want him to think that all of a sudden she was his, yet that may not be all that bad. She slightly leaned forward to see what he would do.

He couldn’t tell if she wanted him to or not. But he figured her right hand was numb so she couldn’t hit him to hard. He leaned forward and allowed their lips to touch. He felt a surge of energy race through his veins and he knew at that moment that he wanted her to be his.

His lips felt heavenly on her lips. It was like magic she opened her mouth a tiny bit and allowed his tongue to slip into hers. She could feel his hands on her back and hair. She slowly moved her hand up to his neck where so gently played with his hair.

He pulled away for a moment and looked at her. “Wow!”

“Yah that is my sentiments as well. So I guess you are coming tonight right?” She moved her hands away from his neck.

“You can count me in.” He took a step back not wanting to leave the moment but knowing it would be the best at the moment. “So, are you all gonna stay at my place again or no?”

“I think the crew should find someplace to stay. We may be here longer than expected.” She hopped off the counted and walked out of the kitchen. “You guys Luke’s it is and Nikki is gonna come. But we actually need to find a place to stay for awhile. I think we may be staying here for awhile.” She looked at Cashette and smiled.

Chapter 10

Emily sat there thinking for a moment where could they stay. “Well how long are you staying for?”

Cashette looked around the group. “I think I will have to go for a fairly long time.”

“Perfect! I know where you can stay!” She let out a giggle and smiled proudly as Chase looked at her smiling. “That house just done the lane from Nikolas’s. It’s perfect. They are trying to sell it. It isn’t much but we could fix it up. It’s awesome, it is four bedrooms and two bathrooms.”

Chase looked at her. “How do you know all this stuff?” He was a little unsure of this girl. He liked her…but he was still iffy.

“I was gonna buy it awhile ago try to get out of the family…but I didn’t have enough money and then decided that I wouldn’t be able to defend for myself so I stayed. So are you gonna take it?”

Jared thought for a moment. It would be perfect and they had always talked about living together. “Does it have a good garage?”

Em let out a giggle again. “Yes it does. Its perfect! Please buy it! “

“Why not. Sold to the Brooklyn gang.”

Nikolas walked out of the kitchen to her gang. “What’s going on?”

Emily leapt out of her chair and ran to Nikolas. “They are buying the house done the lane from you!”

Nikolas looked at Gia who was smiling at him. He winked at her. “Great well lets go get you ready. I hear it is quit the fixer upper. But we will help. Right Emily?”

“Of course. This is so exciting! I can’t wait. Lets get there right away!”

Gia had been quiet except for the exchange with Nik. “You know what we need to go get some more cloths and stuff. So why don’t we cancel Luke’s. Cay, Jared and Chase you stay here and start to get it ready and I’ll go down to Brooklyn and get some cloths from there. I’ll be back by later tonight.” She watched as they all nodded their heads.

“I’m gonna come with you Gia.”

Gia looked at Nikolas who had just volunteered. “Are you sure. It is gonna be fast…and I know you don’t get up to those speeds so…” She gave him a friendly jab in the arm and smiled her eyes twinkling.

“Yah I think I can handle it. Just as long as you don’t drive.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him.

Gia looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. She pulled her arm away from him. “Excuse me.” She looked back at Cay who was watching the whole scene play out. What was she was doing? She had enjoyed the kiss from Nikolas but…why did he have to grab her and make her feel like she was his. She was nobody’s and now she had hurt his feelings…why did she care? She wasn’t his girlfriend and she didn’t know him at all. “You can come…but we need to go now.” She grabbed her keys and waved to the rest and left with Nikolas close behind her. As soon as they were out of ear range she spun around and looked straight into his eyes.

He looked at her. He was confused at what had just played out in Kelly’s. He looked at her eyes, they were glowing an amber color.

“Listen here Cassadine! I am not some pet of yours! So don’t go thinking that just because we kissed we are together, it was a KISS! Nothing else…and trust me I have kissed lots of guys and it didn’t mean anything! So back off because you loose something. Now lets get out of here!” She spun on her heels and hopped in her car.

“What that’s it? You call all the shots? I don’t think so; I am my own person you know! And I think for myself and just because you are afraid of…” He knew she couldn’t hear him. She was blasting the music. Fine…I don’t care, if she wants to be like this then fine! Let her learn the hard way.

Cashette looked at Emily who seemed as shocked as the rest of them felt. “Emily is Nikolas an honorable guy?”

“Of course. Why do you ask?”

“Because if he hurts Gia along this road. WE” she point to the two boys. “Will have to hurt him as well. So where is this house?” she stood up and walked past Emily.

Chase could tell she was scared, he walked over to her and put his arm around her. “You just need to understand that Gia is VERY important to us. We just want to make sure she is all right. As for Cay, she is protective. C’mon you can drive with me.” He turned to the other two. “Follow us.”

The Four left Kelly’s and headed for the parking lot.

Later that Night.

Gia pulled up to her new palace. Well, it looked more like a run down house but that is what imaginations were meant for. She had softened after a few miles of driving. “I can’t believe we actually have a place. Cashette and me have been talking about this forever! The four of us moving in together and now it is finally happening. I am…AHH!!” She felt numb. Having her own place…with her three closest friends life really couldn’t get and better!

“Yah well you haven’t looked inside yet. Trust me it needs help.” He opened the door for her and let her in.

She stops in the entrance. She looked around her. There was Jared and Chase painting the walls a lavender, grey, silver color. And Emily and Cay were painting the banister to go up the stairs. She could feel tears swell in her eyes. She felt like she was in some sort of a dream. That if something poked her she would wake up and be back sleeping in her old bed. But her she was…in her new pad. “You guys have done so much!”

“GIA!! Can you believe it!” Cay rushed over to her friend and gave her a big hug. “Chase and Emily went to go sign the papers for the house. And Jared and me went and got the paint. And look at what we have done. We cleaned the whole inside house…and trust me that was not fun! I think you got the easiest job! And they are now on the second coat.” She looped her arm through Gia’s and Nik’s. “You got to see the view out here. It is gorgeous! And we think we all know who is gonna sleep in what room…but that isn’t quite established.” Cay leads her to the kitchen, which was massive.

Gia stopped and looked around. It was beautiful. She looked out the window and could see forest and trees for miles “Cay this is so perfect! What do the boys think of it?”

“Oh they love it so much! They have all these plans for the basement…big screen TV’s and sound systems…”

“AND IT WILL HAPPEN!”

“See what did I tell you. So did you get most of the stuff?” She headed back to the living room to continue painting.

“Yah we got lots of stuff. Of course we will have to get the rest shipped in. But I got all our makeup and hair stuff. And the majority of our cloths. Do we want the furniture?”

“No.” Cay laughed as Gia smiled at her and nodded her head.
