What's With This Girl?, chapter 11
"Adie, how did you get in here?" Tre said.
"The spare key you gave Billie, moron." She said.
"Anyway, what were talking about Kira? You can't tell me what?"
I wanted to tell her so bad, but I didn't want Dannie to find out about me and Tre. I tried to think of something, but I couldn't. I couldn't think of a good lie.
"Okay Adie, I didn't want to tell you but if you're going to beat it out of Kira then I'll tell you." Oh shit. What is he thinking?
"Billie's planning this big surprise getaway weekend thing and he didn't want you to know that Donnie was helping him."
"Wow really?" Adie said with a surprise look on her face.
"Would I lie about something like this?" Tre said.
Yes, I thought to myself. You're lying right now. "Billie hasn't done something like that in so long. Why wouldn't he tell me?"
"It's a surprise, duh! And plus he didn't want you to rip Donnie a new one." Tre said. "OHHH I can't stand that boy sometimes. No offence Kira."
"None taken Adie," I said.
"I know he's your friend and all but I don't like it when he's all touchy feely with Billie. And I swear if he makes another pass at Billie while I'm in the room, I'm going to grab him by his puny little cock and take what manhood he has left."
"Damn Adie," I said. "This is a side I've never seen of you before."
"Yeah, it's the jealous side," Tre said.
"Oh shut up Tre. Well I should go. I dropped the kids off at Mike and I got to go pick them up. Oh and by the way Kira, Dannie said the guys from U-Haul called and all your stuff should be here tomorrow."
"Bye Adie, oh and tell Mike I'll be over later to get Ramona."
Adie left the room and I heard the front door slam. Tre got off the bed and leaned over me. "I paid you back. I just saved your ass." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out of the room. Man, what would I do without Tre?
It was later in the day, and it was time to go pick up Ramona. I went downstairs and Tre was on the couch sleep again. "Hey Tre," I said. "Are you okay baby?"
"Mmmmhmm."
"Do you want me to do anything for you honey?"
"Mmmm no."
"Are you sure I can give you a blow job?"
"Mmmmm... Wait... What!" I started laughing hysterically.
"I almost had you going there for a minute didn't I?"
"Yeah you did. What time is it anyway?"
"About six."
"Oh shit, I have to pick up Ramona."
"Don't worry Tre I'll do it."
"You just like driving around in my car don't you?"
"Yeah. I do."
"Okay fine. You can go."
"Thank you Tre." I kissed his cheek, grabbed his car keys and left.
I thought it would be cool to go and see Dannie and Monty. But first I had to go to pick up Ramona. I drove up to Mike's house and I saw Monty's car in the driveway. I walked up to the door and kicked it a few times.
"Who is it?" I heard Mike say.
"It's me! Kira! Open the door!"
"Uh.. just a minute." Mike finally came to the door and opened it.
"Hey Kira," he said panting.
"Hey Mike. What were you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah sure. Is Monty here I swear that's her car."
"She was here, but she left. Ricky picked her up and she um...left her car here."
"Okay, well are you going to let me in?"
"Oh sorry about that. Come in."
"So where's Ramona? Did you kidnap her?"
"No she's in the living room."
I walked into the living room and there was Ramona, Estelle, Joey and Jakob on the couch sleeping. They all looked so cute. "Is that Estelle?" I said.
"Yeah that's my little Hero."
"She's so cute."
"Just like her father."
"You're just like Tre. Taking all the credit. All you guys did was thrust and repeat." I walked over to Ramona picked her up and carried her to Tre's car. "I'll see you later Mike," I said walking out of the house."
"See ya Kira," Mike said.
I strapped Ramona into the seat belt in the backseat. I pulled out of Mike's
driveway and drove off.
Back at Mike's house...
"Monty you can come out now!" Mike yelled. Monty came back downstairs.
"Is she gone?" Monty said.
"Yeah she's gone."
"Oh God Mike does she know?"
"It doesn't look like she knows."
"Mike, what am I going to do when she finds out what I did?" Monty started crying her eyes out. She ran over to Mike and hugged him.
"I can't believe myself. I'm so fucking stupid."
"No you're not Monty," Mike said. "Everything's going to be fine."
I drove up to Dannie's place. By this time Ramona was awake so I brought her into the house with me. I noticed that the door was cracked open, so I let myself in.
"Dannie!" I yelled. "Dannie where are you?"
"Maybe he's playing hide and seek," Ramona said.
"Well I guess we should find him right?" I picked Ramona up and put her on my shoulders.
"Wow Kira, you're strong. My mom never put me on her shoulders." I started to laugh and run up the stairs with Ramona on my shoulders. I looked his bedroom but Dannie wasn't there. Finally I found him, in Monty's bedroom, sitting on her bed.
"Dannie?" I said. "Are you okay?"
"No. I'm pretty far from okay."
"What's wrong baby?"
"Like you care?"
"What do you mean? Of course I care about you Dannie."
"Sure you do." I can see where this is going
"Um... Ramona could you go downstairs and wait for me?"
"Okay Kira." I slightly closed the door so she couldn't hear us.
"So you're taking care of his kid now?" Dannie said.
"Dannie I was doing him a favor," I replied.
"I'm sure you've done a lot of favors for him."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean."
"If I knew what you meant I wouldn't have asked you now would I?"
"Don't get smart with me Kira this is not the fucking time!"
"Will you keep your voice down! There is a 7 year old girl downstairs she doesn't need to hear this."
"Right now I really don't give a fuck Kira. How could you even bring his kid around me?"
"He has a name Dannie. Why are we arguing anyway? This is so stupid."
"You know exactly what this argument is about. How could you do that Kira? How could you this to me!"
"Dannie would you calm down and tell me what the hell you are talking about!"
"Don't play stupid Kira. I know okay? Stop trying to act like you don't know what I'm talking about."
"Dannie I honestly don't know what you're talking about."
"Do you want to know what I'm talking about?" Dannie jumped off the bed and started walking towards me. Each step he took I took two away from him. "I'm talking about how you fucked Tre at your party." My eyes widened and my back hit the wall. Dannie now had me trapped in a corner that no lie could get me out of. Dannie walked back to the bed. "I can't believe you. How the fuck could you do this to me! I thought you loved me!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"I do love you."
"Bullshit! If you loved me you wouldn't screwed Tre. How could I be so stupid? It was so fucking obvious! I didn't want to believe what people were telling me. And to think I actually defended you, 'oh they're just good friends' and the whole time he was fucking you right under my nose."
"Dannie please calm down." I said through tears.
"Don't tell me to calm down Kira!"
"Dannie please listen to me!"
"Just shut up Kira! You can't lie your way out of this one. You don't love me. You never did! You were just using as just something to get your mind off Tre."
"Please Dannie I'm sorry! I do love you!"
"If you love me so much, answer this question. When I was in Liverpool a few years back, were you with Tre?" I couldn't look him in the eye. I'm surprised I'm still alive I thought he would have killed me by now. I thought it would just be better to tell him the truth right now.
"Yeah I was."
"Oh my God! Are you kidding me?"
"Dannie it was nothing I only kissed him that's it."
"That's what you're saying now. But how can I take your word now. Is there anything else you want to tell me? What did you fuck Billie and Mike too?"
"With that you went too far Dannie."
"I went too far? Come to think of it, how far did you get with Tre?"
"Dannie stop it."
"Did he get far enough to know that your neck is your weak spot?"
"Dannie shut up."
"Oh wait, did he get far enough to see that birthmark on your thigh."
"Dannie shut up!"
"Oh I bet you got far enough to suck his dick didn't you!"
"SHUT UP!"
"You know what, maybe your mom was right... Maybe you did lie that whole time. You probably did fuck Brian and make it look like he raped you."
"SHUT UP!" I punch Dannie in the face.
"You little bitch!" he screamed, and slapped me across the face, and I fell to the floor.
"You asshole!" I shouted. I ran over to Dannie and tackled him to the floor. I was on the floor punching Dannie for well over a minute. Finally Dannie pushed me off of him and started hitting me.
"KIRA!" I heard Ramona yell.
"Ramona what did tell you? Go back downstairs sweetie."
"But Kira..."
"Go!" Ramona ran back down the stairs and I pushed Dannie off of me.
"You jackass!" I yelled.
"Payback for breaking my heart. The wedding's off! Why would I marry a little slut like you?" I got up and went to the door.
"I'm sorry Dannie," I said.
"Save it." I went downstairs got Ramona and left.
"Where are we going?" Ramona cried.
"We're going to pay a little visit to your uncle Billie." I drove up to Billie house and almost forgot to turn off the car.
"You stay here okay? This'll only take a second." I walked up to Billie's door and knocked about 20 times. Finally Adie opened the door.
"Kira! What the hell happened to you?"
"Where's Billie?" I said.
"He's in the living room. Kira you look lie a train hit you."
"Tell me about it." I walked in and Billie and Jason were sitting on the couch watching T.V. Billie looked up at me.
"Jesus what happened to you?" I pulled Billie off the couch by his hair and threw him on the ground.
"You little bitch! How could you do that to me! You promised you wouldn't tell him and you did! I kept my part of the deal. I didn't tell Adie a damn thing! And you go behind my back and tell him anyway!"
"Kira I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Bullshit! You know exactly what I'm talking about! Dannie knows asshole! He knows about me and Tre! He's the one that did this to me! "
"Kira, I'm sorry about you and Dannie, but I swear I didn't tell him. I swear I didn't do it." I looked down at Billie. I could see the sympathy in his eyes for me. I took his hand and helped him up.
"I don't know what I'm going to do Billie. I have no idea how he found out."
"Think about it Kira? Who else did you tell?"
"No one except you and..." I felt like my heart had stopped and fell into my stomach. The only other person I told was Monty. "It can't be," I said. "I have to go." I ran out of the house and got into Tre's car.
"Are we going home now?" Ramona said.
"Not yet honey. We have to go see Uncle Mike now." I drove up to Mike's house and Monty's car was still there.
"I'll be right back okay?" Ramona nodded her head.
"Yes." I knocked on Mike's door and Mike came to answer it.
"Where is she?"
"Who?" Mike said.
"Don't play stupid I'm not in the mood."
"I can see that. What happened to you?" I pushed Mike aside and went in the house, and there was Monty sitting on his couch.
"Please tell me you didn't do it," I said to her.
"Kira I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry you didn't do anything right?"
"I'm so sorry."
"What did you do?"
"I can't say it."
"Please just tell me. I need to hear it. I know you didn't do it, but just please tell me."
"I can't."
"Monty, please. Say you didn't do it!" "I can't say it."
"Tell me you didn't tell Dannie! Please tell me that it's not true. Tell me you didn't tell him. Please!"
"Kira, I'm sorry... I told Dannie." I fell to my knees and broke down crying.
"Why? Why would you do that?"
"I didn't mean to. Me and Dannie we're fighting, and he said some pretty fucked up things about me. And it slipped out. It was an accident. I would never do anything to hurt you." Monty got off the couch and tried to give me a hug. But I pushed her away and ran out to Tre's car.
By the time me and Ramona got home, it was almost 10:00. I knew he was going to kill me. I opened the door and Tre was on the couch watching TV. "Daddy!" Ramona yelled and ran over to Tre.
"Oh sweetie. Where were you guys? You've been gone for hours, I was getting so scared." I walked over to Tre and he could tell I've been crying my eyes out. "Ramona, baby, go upstairs and get ready for bed okay?"
"Okay daddy." Ramona ran upstairs and left me and Tre alone.
"I was going to ask what happened, but by the looks of it I already know. Billie told Dannie?"
"No."
"Then what happened?"
"Monty told Dannie."
"Monty?"
"Yeah."
"Did she do that to your face?"
"No."
"Well who did?"
"Dannie did."
"I'll kill him!" Tre yelled.
"Tre no please. This day is already the worst day of my life please don't make it worse."
"So is the wedding off." I sat down on the couch and started crying.
"This is like my fifth time crying today. I can't cry anymore, I'm so sick of crying." Tre sat beside me and hugged me.
"Everything's going to work out. I promise. You can stay here as long as you need to okay? Now come on, I'm taking you upstairs. You need sleep." Tre picked put me over his shoulders and carried me upstairs.
It was about 2:30 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. My entire pillow was soaked with tears. How could I have fucked everything up like this? I had everything going for me. I started thinking of all the things that got screwed over because of me. Well first there's the band. We were supposed to start touring in a month, but that's probably done and over with. Then there's the band as a whole. Dannie isn't talking to me; I'm not talking to Monty. The band is a catastrophe, just like my life. I heard someone walking around outside my room. The opened slightly opened and it was Tre.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey. Why are you still up?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I can't sleep."
"Ramona was having trouble sleeping so I had to help her with that. Now I see that I'm going to have to help you get some sleep."
"I don't want to sleep."
"Well if that's what you want."
"Tre?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't be alone tonight."
"Are you asking me to stay in here with you?"
"Yes." Tre came over to my bed. I moved over and let him in.
"Make sure you close the door. You don't want Ramona to walk in and think that we're dating because you're in here." Tre started laughing. I turned over to Tre who was trying to stay awake.
"How do I look?"
"Like the opening scene of Rocky."
"That bad huh?"
"Yeah."
"Tre?"
"Yeah Kira?"
"I'm a fuck up."
"No you're not."
"Yeah I am. I fucked up everything. The one good relationship I've had since my dad died and I ruin it. But hey, look on the bright side, things can't get any worse than this."
Tre wrapped my arms around me and I put my head on his chest. "For some reason I always feel safe when I hold you like this."
"Don't get all mushy on me," I said.
"Shut up Kira." I could feel Tre puling me closer and his arms getting tighter around me. This was the first time all day when I actually felt like I had no problems to deal with. And even though all those problems were going to come back when I woke up I didn't care at all. Because I had Tre, the one person I can truly count on to be there. And right now...that's all I really need.
"The spare key you gave Billie, moron." She said.
"Anyway, what were talking about Kira? You can't tell me what?"
I wanted to tell her so bad, but I didn't want Dannie to find out about me and Tre. I tried to think of something, but I couldn't. I couldn't think of a good lie.
"Okay Adie, I didn't want to tell you but if you're going to beat it out of Kira then I'll tell you." Oh shit. What is he thinking?
"Billie's planning this big surprise getaway weekend thing and he didn't want you to know that Donnie was helping him."
"Wow really?" Adie said with a surprise look on her face.
"Would I lie about something like this?" Tre said.
Yes, I thought to myself. You're lying right now. "Billie hasn't done something like that in so long. Why wouldn't he tell me?"
"It's a surprise, duh! And plus he didn't want you to rip Donnie a new one." Tre said. "OHHH I can't stand that boy sometimes. No offence Kira."
"None taken Adie," I said.
"I know he's your friend and all but I don't like it when he's all touchy feely with Billie. And I swear if he makes another pass at Billie while I'm in the room, I'm going to grab him by his puny little cock and take what manhood he has left."
"Damn Adie," I said. "This is a side I've never seen of you before."
"Yeah, it's the jealous side," Tre said.
"Oh shut up Tre. Well I should go. I dropped the kids off at Mike and I got to go pick them up. Oh and by the way Kira, Dannie said the guys from U-Haul called and all your stuff should be here tomorrow."
"Bye Adie, oh and tell Mike I'll be over later to get Ramona."
Adie left the room and I heard the front door slam. Tre got off the bed and leaned over me. "I paid you back. I just saved your ass." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out of the room. Man, what would I do without Tre?
It was later in the day, and it was time to go pick up Ramona. I went downstairs and Tre was on the couch sleep again. "Hey Tre," I said. "Are you okay baby?"
"Mmmmhmm."
"Do you want me to do anything for you honey?"
"Mmmm no."
"Are you sure I can give you a blow job?"
"Mmmmm... Wait... What!" I started laughing hysterically.
"I almost had you going there for a minute didn't I?"
"Yeah you did. What time is it anyway?"
"About six."
"Oh shit, I have to pick up Ramona."
"Don't worry Tre I'll do it."
"You just like driving around in my car don't you?"
"Yeah. I do."
"Okay fine. You can go."
"Thank you Tre." I kissed his cheek, grabbed his car keys and left.

"Who is it?" I heard Mike say.
"It's me! Kira! Open the door!"
"Uh.. just a minute." Mike finally came to the door and opened it.
"Hey Kira," he said panting.
"Hey Mike. What were you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah sure. Is Monty here I swear that's her car."
"She was here, but she left. Ricky picked her up and she um...left her car here."
"Okay, well are you going to let me in?"
"Oh sorry about that. Come in."
"So where's Ramona? Did you kidnap her?"
"No she's in the living room."
I walked into the living room and there was Ramona, Estelle, Joey and Jakob on the couch sleeping. They all looked so cute. "Is that Estelle?" I said.
"Yeah that's my little Hero."
"She's so cute."
"Just like her father."
"You're just like Tre. Taking all the credit. All you guys did was thrust and repeat." I walked over to Ramona picked her up and carried her to Tre's car. "I'll see you later Mike," I said walking out of the house."
"See ya Kira," Mike said.
I strapped Ramona into the seat belt in the backseat. I pulled out of Mike's

Back at Mike's house...

"Jesus what happened to you?" I pulled Billie off the couch by his hair and threw him on the ground.
"You little bitch! How could you do that to me! You promised you wouldn't tell him and you did! I kept my part of the deal. I didn't tell Adie a damn thing! And you go behind my back and tell him anyway!"

"Did she do that to your face?"
"No."
"Well who did?"
"Dannie did."
"I'll kill him!" Tre yelled.
"Tre no please. This day is already the worst day of my life please don't make it worse."
"So is the wedding off." I sat down on the couch and started crying.
"This is like my fifth time crying today. I can't cry anymore, I'm so sick of crying." Tre sat beside me and hugged me.
"Everything's going to work out. I promise. You can stay here as long as you need to okay? Now come on, I'm taking you upstairs. You need sleep." Tre picked put me over his shoulders and carried me upstairs.
It was about 2:30 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. My entire pillow was soaked with tears. How could I have fucked everything up like this? I had everything going for me. I started thinking of all the things that got screwed over because of me. Well first there's the band. We were supposed to start touring in a month, but that's probably done and over with. Then there's the band as a whole. Dannie isn't talking to me; I'm not talking to Monty. The band is a catastrophe, just like my life. I heard someone walking around outside my room. The opened slightly opened and it was Tre.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey. Why are you still up?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I can't sleep."
"Ramona was having trouble sleeping so I had to help her with that. Now I see that I'm going to have to help you get some sleep."
"I don't want to sleep."
"Well if that's what you want."
"Tre?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't be alone tonight."
"Are you asking me to stay in here with you?"
"Yes." Tre came over to my bed. I moved over and let him in.
"Make sure you close the door. You don't want Ramona to walk in and think that we're dating because you're in here." Tre started laughing. I turned over to Tre who was trying to stay awake.
"How do I look?"
"Like the opening scene of Rocky."
"That bad huh?"
"Yeah."
"Tre?"
"Yeah Kira?"
"I'm a fuck up."
"No you're not."
"Yeah I am. I fucked up everything. The one good relationship I've had since my dad died and I ruin it. But hey, look on the bright side, things can't get any worse than this."
Tre wrapped my arms around me and I put my head on his chest. "For some reason I always feel safe when I hold you like this."
"Don't get all mushy on me," I said.
"Shut up Kira." I could feel Tre puling me closer and his arms getting tighter around me. This was the first time all day when I actually felt like I had no problems to deal with. And even though all those problems were going to come back when I woke up I didn't care at all. Because I had Tre, the one person I can truly count on to be there. And right now...that's all I really need.
