I�m going home. Things here suck more balls than ever. *shakes head sadly* And it�s my fault. Well, not all my fault. It�s their fault too. I�m just the only one here to take the blame.
So all Rats that read this, I start driving in an hour.
For the last time in Cali.
Kaylee
Kaylee loaded the last bag into the bed of her truck. She was going home, back to Texas. Way from Benji, and away from Joel. The way it had to be.
Anthony was going to ride back with her, while Thrash and Hammer drove Thrash�s car back.
�Are you sure you wanna leave?� Jamie asked.
Kaylee nodded. �Yeah. But you�ll be coming home in about two months, so it�s not like I�ll never see you again.� She leaned down and kissed the top of her younger sister�s head.
Kayla hugged her twin and forced herself to smiled.
Kaylee chuckled. �You don�t have to smile, Kay. I know you think this sucks.�
�It does suck,� Kayla insisted. �Big hairy balls.�
Kaylee almost choked on her laughter. �That is something I never thought would come out of your mouth. You�re beginning to sound like me.�
�Don�t tell anyone,� Kayla whispered.
Kaylee hugged Jessica quickly and got in her truck.
�Call us when you get there,� Kayla instructed.
�I will.� Kaylee started the truck and waved one more time before pulling out of the long drive way.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The drive home didn�t seem to take as long as the drive there. Kaylee was happy to be back on Texan soil. Far, far away from Barefoot Studios.
�I think you need to party,� Anthony said as he helped Kaylee carry her stuff up to her room.
Kaylee nodded as she dropped a bag on her large bed. �I think you�re right.�
�I�ll call The Rats, and then we will party like there is no tomorrow.�
�Which other way do we party? Just make sure someone gets lots of Smirnoff.� She glanced outside at the slowly setting sun. �I talked to Daddy earlier. He�s out of town, so tell everyone to come here.�
He smiled widely. �Everyone will be here soon.� Anthony jogged down the stairs and into the foyer. He picked up Kaylee�s two way from where she�s left it on a table. Anthony put in the following message �party @ Lee�s. now. bring refreshment� and sent it to everyone in the �Rat� folder. �They should be here soon,� he called up the stairs.
�Good. Call Kayla while I change,� Kaylee yelled back down.
Anthony did so.
A few minutes later Kaylee walked down the stairs in a pair of well fitting blue jeans and a black top that was basically and over gloried bra.
He whistled slowly as he watched her turn in front of his. �Damn did I miss that body while you were gone.�
She smiled. �Thanks, I think.�
Someone knocked on the door.
�Open,� both of them yelled.
The door opened and Thrash stuck his head in. �I�m guessing we�re the first here.�
�Shouldn�t take much longer.� Kaylee smiled wickedly. �Damn is it good to be home.

August 3 9:49 pm
I�ve been home over a month and I can�t stress how good it feels to party with The Rats again.
The only draw back is that classes start again in about three weeks. Like it�ll really stop me. I scheduled most of my classes to start later in the morning for the specific reason of Rats like to party. And we do it damn well, too.
Kay, Jess, and James came home yesterday. It�s good to have them around again. Daddy and I were beginning to run out of things to talk about.
If I�m not in jail in by morning I�ll be surprised.
Tell you tomorrow.
Kaylee
Kaylee smiled as she hit �send.� She thought a second before pulling another text box open.
August 3 9:57 pm
I just realized I�ve never told you about The Rats. Street Rats, actually.
There are 13 of us. I�m the only one with a vagina, not that I�m complaining.
We�re all known each other since, well, childhood. The cops say were a gang, but really we�re not. Just a bunch of loud kids who like to throw loud parties and make trouble.
It seems just about every Friday night, Saturday night, hell any night we can, we�re at a party. It�s just the way we are.
And tonight is one of those nights, a loud party where alcohol can be found in abundance. I love it.
I�m wanted at Thrash�s. Later.
Lee
Once again Kaylee hit �send.� She smiled in anticipation of the nights events. It was going to be one hell of a night.
Damn it was good to be home.
