Chapter 16

Wes

Ma was asleep on the couch so I carefully left the house and went down to check on Cherry. And Noelle.

As I took my helmet off outside the small one story house, the front door opened and out came Noelle. She was in a long blue hoodie and it looked like she had nothing on but that. She didn’t notice me at first with her earbuds in, her eyes shut, her head dancing to whatever song that was playing just for her.

When she finally saw me, she hurried to pull the earbuds out.

“Hey, Wes,” she said.

I looked at her eyes.

They looked clear.

That was a good thing.

“You dressed under that or what?” I asked her.

“Come find out,” she said.

I raised my left eyebrow. “Seriously.”

Noelle sighed. “You’re such an ass.”

She lifted the bottom of the hoodie up, showing me she had clothes on under it.

“Want to see anything else?” she offered.

I walked up the porch steps. “I’m good.”

I stopped next to her, me facing the house as she faced the street.

“Wanna hear?” she asked as she offered me an earbud.

I stuck the thing into my ear and heard some kind of weird ass sound. Heavy thuds and noises that weren’t normal instruments. The voice of the girl singing was so echoed you couldn’t hear a word.

I pulled the earbud out and shook my head. “That’s crap.”

“You’re crap,” Noelle said right back.

“Play something with a guitar or something. Damn.”

“Go away, Wes. You came to check on me, right? Look. I’m not drunk. I’m sober. I’m listening to music and I’m going to write some stuff down.”

“Why don’t you go by the house later and see Ma? She’s always asking about you.”

Noelle eyed me.

The years went back with her.

She nodded.

I knew she wouldn’t go over there, but whatever.

Inside, Cherry was shuffling through the kitchen, carrying a plate of food. It looked like a damn gourmet sandwich.

“That for me?” I asked.

She screamed and turned, flinging the plate at me.

I don’t know how I did it but I managed to catch the plate without a piece of food hitting the floor.

“You ass!” Cherry cried out in her aged voice.

“You cursed at me,” I said.

“You’re not a kid anymore.”

I laughed. “Sorry about that. Just wanted to check on that cough of yours. See how you’re feeling.”

“Are you a doctor now?”

“Maybe,” I said, shrugging my shoulders.

“Keep that sandwich,” Cherry said. “You need to eat. Real food too. Not some garbage at the shop. You’ll end up looking like your grandfather.”

“Hey. Thanks.”

“Sure. I just won’t eat.”

I put the plate down on the counter. “Are you trying to make me feel guilty?”

“A little,” Cherry said. She shuffled to the sink and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath.

“You okay?”

“Yeah,” she said, waving her hand. “You just scared me.”

“I’m sorry about that. I wanted to check on Noelle. Then you.”

She nodded. “How’s your stolen motorcycle thing going?”

“It’s died down,” I said. “Dusty has nothing on the shop. Not that he would have anything either. I have Ryker and Walker keeping their eyes open over at Tech.
