Chapter 80: What We Had Is Dead

As Sheriff Keller brought my dad into the diner. Betty and I stared at each other for a minute.

"What would they be talking about?" Betty asked.

"I don't know." I say to her. I had an incline. But I wasn't sure if they were really talking about you know who's head.

"Oh no Dad's in trouble." Peter says with a laugh.

"This isn't funny Peter." I say to him as I cross my arms.

"Take a chill pill girl." Peter says as he gulps down his vodka soda.

I look over to the red velvet bars and see two familiar Serpents. Gina and Sweet Pea.

They are talking to Phil at the front of the driveway. Probably threatening to kill him or something.

"Phil why are you talking to these people?" I ask as I'm behind Phil. He turns around to face me.

"Oh sorry Miss Smythes. They were just asking if they could get a drink." Phil says with a smile.

"No. Hell no." I say as I see Gina roll her eyes.

"Alright Miss Smythes I will-." Phil says but I make sure I cut him off.

"My dad hired you for a reason. To keep people like them out. If you can't do your job right I will do it myself." I say to Phil. He gives me a bizarre look as I face Gina and Sweet Pea.

"What are you doing here? You weren't invited!" I say to them.

"I wanted to crash but didn't know there was these things." Gina says as she pushes one of the red bars over.

"Phil pick that up!" I say to Phil.

"You can stand there all night if you want. We have security guards. No Northsiders will let you in anyways. So have fun on the poor side." I say with a smile. I'm already freaking out over my dad. Now this. This is suppose to be fun and a party but I guess not.

'Sign Of The Times' by Harry Styles started playing and everyone couple made sure to grab onto each other real close and dance.

Peter grabbed his 2 year girlfriend Michelle. She was tanned skinned with dark black hair and a beauty mark just below her eyebrow. She was very pretty.

I looked over to see on the other side of the red velvet bar Sweet Pea and Gina slow dancing. And they were really close.

"You Okay?" Betty asked me.

"Yeah." I say to her with a fake smile.

"Rebecca?" I hear from behind me. I turn around and it's....Reggie. I didn't give him an invitation. It must've been Peter.

"What?" I asked him as I crossed my arms.

"I want to talk." He says to me.

"No." I say back to him. He had enough to say when he threw me to the ground.

"Please just for a minute." Reggie says pleadingly.

"About?" I asked him with my arms still crossed.

"I messed up. Bad. I know I lost something great. I want a chance to get it back." Reggie says to me.

"Are you talking about a car or me? Cause what we had is dead." I say to him.

"Maybe we can resurrect it?" He asked. Surprised he even know what that word means.

"Why?" I asked him.

"I miss you. I haven't been with a girl since. Please Beck, One Date. One date to prove I've changed." He says to me I look behind him and see Sweet Pea and Gina still dancing. If people like him can move on so can I.

"One Date. And if you mess up you're dead meat." I say to him.

"Thank you Beck." He says as he's about to hug me but I push him away.

"Let's go over the ground rules quickly. If you're late. That's a strike. If you caress my leg or arm. That's a strike. If you go to make out with me randomly. That's a strike. Got it?" I asked him.

"Yes yes I do." He says with a smile. I hear the Diners door bell ring meaning someone is coming in or out.

I see my dad step out of the diner with Sheriff Keller.

"Dad what happened?" I asked my dad.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to bring him down to the station for some questioning." Sheriff Keller says.

"Why?" I asked.

"One of his office assistants found Pickens head in the office closet. Did you know anything about this Rebecca?" He asked me. I wanted to say yes. I did. I made eye contact with my father and he shook his head from left to right signalling for me not to say anything.

"No sir." I say.

"Randall give me your hands please?" Sheriff Keller asked my dad.

"Do I really have to?" My father asked him.

"It's part of the procedure. Yes." Sheriff Keller says as my dad's hands are behind his back and being cuffed. Sheriff Keller opens the back seat of his car and sits my dad in. Sheriff Keller gets in the front and leaves the party.

This is all my fault.
