"I watched you die three times, I got called in because you wouldn't live until morning six times and I watched you learn to talk and feed yourself again. We didn't go through all that just so you can find a new biker boy to run off and get killed." My Mom shouts as I lie on my bed fucking determined to get this mother fucking dress on

"Well good news, if you haven't noticed I can't ride a fucking bike anymore, he had to get a car to take me out so I'm a massive inconvenience he'll get sick of soon anyway." I shout back as I sit up and move into my chair

"Skye, you know what I mean, he's in a motorcycle gang, I can't let you go out with him, I can't lose you when I came so close to losing you last time." She says, her voice calmer

"Well tough fucking shit, since I came home from the hospital I only ever leave the house for doctors appointments, meeting him was the first time I left the house for me and it made me realise even if I didn't die I'm not living. I'm going to rot away in this room, let me live." I plead as I battle my dead ass feet into my red glittered converse

"I forbid it, you cannot see him." She says as I check my hair and make up one last time, grab my purse and head for the door

"Mom I'm 21, you cant stop me from doing shit." I shout as I approach the front door

"But I am your mother."

"And kindly Mother, go suck a dick." I say as I open the door to find Circuit standing there, perfect.

I was honestly joking when I said he was a serial killer taking me into the woods to dismember me, but what is he doing? Taking me into the fucking woods. Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival comes on and I laugh at my shitty song choice "I see trouble on the way" yep, I got catfished by a serial killer, perfect.

"Holy shit." I say as the car comes to a stop. We're at the top overlooking my town and in the darkness all of the street lights sparkle below us

"Now are you happy I'm not going to kill you?" Circuit smirks as he gets out of the car

"I dunno, you've got that psycho killer vibe going still." I smirk as he opens my door and picks me up

"You don't have to carry me everywhere you know." I say as I wrap my arms around his shoulders

"Are you kidding? An excuse to touch you up? My pleasure" He says as he does that adorable eyebrow wiggle and I laugh. He sits me on the hood of the car and then goes back for the food. He turns up the stereo and my playlist fills the silent woods with the Red Hot Chili Peppers as he sits beside me, a mountain of food around us.

"Ok, this is better than a restaurant." I say as he hands me a beer and I grab a burger

"So, now that there are officially no secrets and you know you can tell me anything, tell me about you, the real you." Circuit says

"Ok, well I'm not in college, I'm taking classes online after finishing high school last year at the ripe age of 20." I say

"Well I never finished high school, you know that." He says and I nod, I do, he was completely honest with me and I hid a huge part of myself from him

"I'm such an ass." I say as I facepalm

"Well I didn't want to feel it as I picked you up but I imagine it looks good." Circuit says as he looks behind me pretending to check out my ass and I slap his arm with the back of my hand

"I mean, you were so honest with me and I hid from you, I'm an asshole for that." I say and he shrugs

"I get it, but I don't care, I just don't want you to think I'm treating you differently because of it, because you're still that sarcastic asshole I like." He says and I relax against him

"Ok, how about this, tonight is your free pass to ask any questions you have without me getting mad or feeling uncomfortable." I say as I sit back up

"You sure? Cos I feel like you could bury me in these woods and no one would ever find my body." He says pretending to look scared and I laugh

"Ok I'll start." I say before continuing "I was in a motorcycle crash when I was 16, I've been out of the hospital for 2 years." I say as I look down at my useless legs remembering the night it all changed.

"And I rode up to meet you on my motorcycle, now I'm the ass. So is that what you and your mom were fighting about tonight? I take it she doesn't approve of me?" He questions

"First of all I have seen it and you do have a nice ass and yeah kind of. Obviously I can't ride anymore, but I think seeing your bike and your cut just set it all off for her." I shrug as I take a sip of my beer and he yawns and wraps his arm around my shoulder

"Oh too cheesy." I laugh as he pulls me closer

"Well I happen to know you like cheese, it's on your burger." Circuit says and I laugh, he's so stupid and knows how to make me smile, damn I like him.

"For the record, I've never crashed a motorcycle in my life." Circuit says

"Well when a cop car rams your ass you don't really have upright as an option anymore." Fuck, I let that slip

"Hold the phone, cop car? Is my beautiful, innocent Skye a bad girl? Cos I'm too innocent to be tainted by a criminal." He says sticking his nose in the air and I laugh

"It's a very long story." I say as I think back to that night

"Well, if you're willing to tell I'm not going anywhere and if not, well your god awful playlist will fill my ears instead." He says as Taylor Swift plays, I only put that in there to mess with him.

"Well, my ex boyfriend Danny, he was a biker, he wasn't in a club like you, he just rode around with his friends and two brothers. I was the typical rebellious teen, running away from home, smoking, taking drugs, drinking and partying."

"Oh you are a bad girl." He gasps

"Well when I was 15 I met Danny, only problem was he was 25. I hid my age from him at first, we fell for each other hard, I would disappear with him and we would go on road trips for a week at a time and then I would turn up home to my parents losing their minds. Finally Danny found out I was 15 and he broke my heart, but I get that now. When I was 16 I saw him again and we knew we couldn't stay apart. So I resumed running away and partying and Danny and I were so in love." I pause briefly as I remember Danny, I try not to think of him anymore, it's too painful.

"One night I decided I was leaving my parents for good and going with Danny, so I packed a bag and got into a huge fight with my dad. Danny picked me up and we rode off on his bike into the sunset. My dad called the cops and told them Danny had kidnapped me, of course when Danny went passed a cop car at 100mph and they ran the plate they began to chase us." I say as I try to hold the tears forming in my eyes. Circuit pulls me closer and I rest my face on his chest

"Danny's last words were 'I won't let anything happen to you' and then it gets blurry. I saw the footage from the cop car, he had enough chasing us and rammed the back of the bike, at a speed like that we flew off the bike and down the highway. Danny died at the scene and they say I only made it because Danny had given me his helmet." Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird appropriately plays now as Circuit kisses my forehead

"I'm sorry." He says as he holds me close

"It's ok" I laugh half heartedly as I sit up "We sued the police for a shitload so now I have enough money to pay all my medical bills and not have to work a day in my life, so I got something out of it." I shrug as I grab another beer
