It was 3:30 am, and sleep didn't really seem like an eligible option. I just got back from a poker game at the Shepards house and i was still a little drunk. scratch that, it was an incontestable fact that i was piss drunk and managing to make it to my house in one piece was a blessing. I tossed around in my bed for a good half hour. "fuck!" i whisper- yelled to myself. I got up, put on some jeans,( first backwards, then tried again), a sweatshirt and some shoes and proceeded to sneak out the backdoor. usually, i would tell hunter or johnny i'm leaving, but i knew id be back in an hour and i knew they would antagonize me with questions if i had told them. I wrote a note and left it on my bed, i didn't want them to freak out over nothing. I cut through my neighbors yard and hopped the fence behind the Brumleys apartment building. i climbed up the fire escape to Caleb's room. The window was open, typical of him. His theory is if someone tries to rob him, he'll hear them coming before they even get up the fire escape. I looked in through the window and sure enough I find a shirtless Caleb at the edge of his bed with a pistol in his hand. "if i had a nickel for every time Caleb Brumley pulled a gun on me at 3 in the morning, id be bill gates." I said wryly, as i climbed into his room."Jesus Christ, i'm gonna land up shooting your head off one of these days, cant you ever call first?" Caleb sighed and put the pistol back under his mattress and laid back down. i laughed."well that wouldn't be any fun, now would it?" I climbed into his bed and sat on top of him. "your to out of the blue for me. I kill people for there spontaneous actions." He said with a half smile. He opened his mouth as if to keep talking and i put my finger over it."Shhh." I pulled off my sweatshirt and tossed it somewhere in his room. Caleb bit his lip and looked me up and down. it took a matter of 5 minutes and my legs were wrapped around him as he had me on his dresser pushed up against the wall. He pulled my hair back and bit my neck. I really contradict myself when it comes to certain things. I would say i'm a bit of a feminist and hate when men try to impose a patriarchal dominance over woman, yet i don't mind when Caleb looks at me like a piece of meat. I don't know, maybe my libido is just kind of fucked up. I land up in Caleb's room probably half the nights i'm drunk. Sex with Caleb is just that, sex. We don't make it anything else. Its rough and hot, but personal emotions are never there. after we were through, we smoked a cigarette in his bed, like we always did. I turned and faced him. His grey wolf eyes were illuminated by the moon. He really is terrifying and handsome all at the same time. Covered in tattoos with a malicious half smile that never could determine exactly what he was thinking. His looks matched his reputation to a tee. "what? is it time for you to leave me now?" I smirked. "i don't know, what time is it?" He looked at his watch. "quarter after 5" I sat up and took off his t shirt and grabbed my sweatshirt. "you always do this. you cant stay any longer?" I stared at him for a minute then kissed his cheek. "You know i cant" He stared at me with a puzzled face. I hoped out the window, down the fire escape and over the fence. i opened my back door and walked in quietly. "Where were you?" Hunter said, sitting on the first step of my staircase. i jumped "ugh don't do that, you scared the shit out of me." i said, holding my chest. "answer my question." He said with a serious face. "I was at the bar." I said trying to sound convincing. Hunter hated the Brumleys, literally hated them. He always said they were the scum of the earth who did dirty things to people. He wasn't completely off. "That's funny, because I called buck about 10 minutes ago and he said you weren't there all night. Dawn I swear to God if you were with one of those brumley boys.." He said with his eyes closed. "Honestly Hunter, just stay the fuck out of my business like i stay out of yours." i said as i started to walk past him up the steps. Hunter stood up from the steps and walked out the door. I followed him and stood on the front porch. "where are you going?!" I yelled to him. "Where do you think i'm going, I'm gonna go kick their asses." He said, being completely serious. "All of them?" I said doubtfully. "yup" he said, as he kept walking. "are you demented?!" I yelled. but he was to far to hear me. Sometimes i think he only has 2 functioning brain cells. I called Owen shortly after. "Hey Owen? Can you go retrieve your idiot from the Brumley residence? He thinks hes gonna go kick all of their asses. Owen laughed and said alright, hes used to hunters shenanigans by now. I thanked him and went up to my room. 20 minutes later I got a call from Owen. "Is he in one piece?" I asked jokingly "Dawn meet me at the hospital, Hunter got shot."
