“Hey man, did you hear what I said?” Brody calls to me, but I barely hear him above my music.

It’s Sunday afternoon and I have been working tirelessly on a custom design for one of his cars. He plans to race this next weekend and needs the design done soon. I love that my friends rely on me for working on their cars. It also helps that they pay good money for my work, too.

Plus, Mia and I had worked with our art club on a mural for a local building downtown early this morning. Our teacher, and art club sponsor, had signed us all up as part of our group project. Even though I had acted like I hated being there, I secretly enjoyed it. I mean, I got to help create a masterpiece that everyone can see while driving through Hollow Cove. Only, I would never admit it to anyone. I did, however, see Mia sneaking smiles at me while we all worked. I knew she was well aware that I was enjoying creating the magical forest our teacher had designed for us to paint. It was the one thing in this world I was truly good at, but again, I had to keep up appearances. So, I kept a scowl on my face and grunted whenever someone got close to me while we worked. But on the inside, I was fucking jumping for joy.

“No,” I grunt out.

I am adding the finishing touches to the design and I like to work alone, something Brody knows, but tends to ignore. I had created a large, purple dragon on the hood of his black Camaro. Red and orange flames shoot out of its mouth and circle around the body. It’s bad-ass and will look killer racing through the strip.

“I said, a couple of the guys at the club were asking about you. They want you to do a few custom designs on their bikes,” he says.

I perk up at this. Doing work for the Raven’s Boys Motorcycle Club could be great money and a great opportunity to get me one step closer to being an actual member.

“Yeah, tell them I can meet them anytime,” I say, trying not to sound as eager as I am.

Brody nods and then stuffs his hands in his jean pockets. “I will. So, heard from Britley lately?” he asks.

Britley and anything to do with my dead brother, is a sore subject and Brody knows it. If he were anyone else, I would punch him right in the mouth, but Brody means well.

“Nope, and I like it that way. I expect her to just one day drop the baby off and never see her again,” I say. It’s sad, but it’s true.

“You are probably right. I can’t believe your brother didn’t see right through her act,” he says, shaking his head. “Anyway, have you told Mia about Britley yet?” Brody asks.

I had slipped up and told Brody about hanging out with Mia. It wasn’t like I meant to do it or anything, but he saw past my cheesy grin and happy attitude.
