Let's Take A Ride {Brandon}

[Deleted]

Violet's eyes widened as her mouth went into an 'O' shape. "I see... So your parents are like drill Sargents then...just worse?" She huffed, shaking her head softly. The poor boy. It sounded like his parents had been a lot worse then hers. They mainly just played favorites. They never pulled the kind of crap Brandon's did. What kind of people could they possibly be? Ones with a major stick up their ass. That's what. "Don't worry kiddo. I'll get you back on that some other time when they're not planning a drug test." Damn, and she had really wanted to smoke with him today too. It'd make their adventure at the beach that much more fun. Make fun of some weirdos and laugh in their faces without a care in the world because they were so blazed.

"Look who's talking," She poked her tongue out at him when he told her she needed to get out more. She was just teasing. She knew he couldn't help not getting out much because of his parents. What were they going to do about that once he turned eighteen? "Sounds good to me! I'm pretty hungry myself." She stated as her stomach rumbled. Ignoring that, she asked, "So, how's my favorite Brandon and his lovely miss Avery doing?" She thought to ask as she turned onto the highway leading to the beach. Not much longer from now and they'd be at the center of the beach.

Violets eyes had widened as he told her what his parents were like and that it was them who were drug testing them. Yes they were evil so drinking was out of the question too seeing as he wasn’t sure what sort of other tests they’d run for shits and giggles. “That they are. That is my parents for you. They are masters in the art of torture I swear. Stick them in a room with terrorists and they terrorist will run away screaming and peeing their pants.” He hoped to god that Violet never ever met them they are horrid. Oh, lord he could only imagine what they would be like on parents night at the school. The thought of that made him groan.

“ I am hoping it will be soon I can get back to it. I think its with us all going to normal school they want to make sure we haven’t been corrupted, but I was corrupted way before regular school… that’s for sure.” It was true he was it was how he had dealt with them all these years and the days are getting numbered that he has to stick around for their games and ways. Soon he could be on his own.

She had told him to look who’s talking about her getting out more. I don’t have a choice… You do.” he rebutted. It was true she choose to stay in when all he does is try to sneak away without getting caught., especially when he tries to sneak out and see the girl he fancies. Violet liked his plan of getting food and said she was pretty hungry herself. “ Good I am glad I am not the only one that is hungry.” He snickered soflty under his breath as her stomach rumbled and he knew that it wasn’t his.

“ I think your stomach agrees.” he said sticking out his tongue. A few minutes later, she asked how he and Avery were… “ Good. Taking things one day at a time. Which was true they were since things were still sorta new to them, but they couldn’t get enough of each other when around each other? It is just complicated at this stage in the game especially with his family.

The turned on to the highway that lead to the beach and he watched as they past all the cars letting his mind drift off and let the air blow in his face from the window he just rolled down taking in the fresh air. It wouldn’t be long now before they are at the beach. He could hear the gulls in the sky gawking loudly at people already. He shook his head and didn’t think he’d ever understand them.

[Deleted]

Violet wished she could say she knew what he was talking about but couldn't seeing as she never met his parents before. And by the sounds of it, she never wanted to meet them. Knowing her, she'd get all mouthy and throw a punch at one of them. Not saying she'd win in a fight with them either considering they were hunters and knew a thing or two about kicking ass. More then she'd ever know. "I don't think I'd ever like to meet them then." She muttered underneath her breath although loud enough he'd be able to hear her if he was listening close enough.

She smirked when he talked about being corrupted before he even started regular school. "I'm sure I'm not very helpful to that situation." She said quite cheekily as if she were proud about that. She could be a bad influence and she knew that but so what? She wasn't perfect. No one was matter of fact. Especially either of them. She liked her drinking and pot smoking and Brandon liked that and more. "Let me know when is good." She added, meaning when it'd be okay to smoke him up again.

A frown seeped past her lips through her smirk causing her to press them together, puzzled. "Very true," She agreed before adding on, "I'd take you away from all of this if I could. You know that..." She was sure that had been implied from the get go of their friendship the more she'd got to know Brandon but of course she didn't want his parents on her ass hunting her down and doing who knows what type of torture to her.

He definitely wasn't the only one hungry and had pointed that out when her stomach rumbled. She just chuckled when he poked his tongue out at her, pushing a strand of hair away from blowing into her face as he cracked the window open. "That's good to hear." There wasn't much to go off of that considering Brandon hadn't offered much information about him and Avery's current relationship status. Turning the wheel as she took a sharp corner, they came to the center of the beach where few people could be seen walking along the boardwalk.

[Brandon Ambrose Novak]

He was glad she didn’t want to meet them after what he had said and he really wasn’t exaggerating about how bad they were. He really did think they weren’t parent material, and maybe that’s why they are all screwed up some how. His sister she is gorgeous and she could be a movie star or a model, but nope she is sucked into a life of hell.  He had heard her say that she didn’t want to meet them it was just under her breath, but hey the boy does have some decent hearing all them training sessions to use your senses when you can’t see. He had also told her how he was corrupted way before going to public school it really was how he used to deal with things. He’d sneak off and by stuff to dull the pain. Now buying cigarettes was legal he could get those himself, but still it was a bad habit that could bite him in the ass later on in life if he lived that long it is. He is reckless so who knows when he may meet a premature death. Being raised to be a werewolf hunter it could happen at any time especially if he encounters an Alpha all by his lonesome he maybe as good as dead.

He zoned out for a minute, only in time to hear her say she probably wasn’t helping much on the corrupt front.   “Just a little.” he had replied to that. He had bad influences all around him really. Avery was one of them too since she is who he buys off of in this town, but hey he loves  her or at least he thinks he loves her and would continue to buy off of her instead of going somewhere else. Violet told him to tell her when it’s good to smoke up again.  “I will.” he said with a grin. He was dying for a smoke, but it was something he’ d have to wait on because he really would rather wait then get some sort of death sentence or something from his parents. He hadn’t the slightest clue what would happen if one of then failed nor did he want to think about it.

Violet told him that she’d take him away from this all if he could.    “Thank you. It means a lot that you’d say that.”, but he knew trying to get away would be more trouble then it’s worth right now and he only had to wait a little longer. He knew he could do it. It really did mean a lot to him that she’d say that. It made him grin a little. It was nice to have friends that cared. It was a good feeling. It was something he hadn’t really had in the past true friends out side of the world of wolf hunting. He often wondered what Avery or Violet would say if they knew the truth, but he couldn’t give that to them yet. He didn’t want them in more danger then they already are by just being around him. He wondered how they’d take knowing the things from horror movies really are out there. She had asked about him and Avery and he told her they were good.  Things were complicated, but good… He smiled when she had said that was good to hear.  “How about you? Find anyone that has caught your eye just yet?” She asked about his love life so know he’d ask about hers.

They were almost there he could see the people on the board walk and could see the waves crash upon the sand the smell surrounding the beach was amazing and he closed his eyes to take it in for a few minutes as if he was lost in a world that was far away from his own life… his stomach now began to grumble it’s self. He couldn’t wait to find a nice juicy burger, fries, and onion rings with bacon to top it off. Just thinking on that made him mmm. He so wanted one now.

'Just a little' he says and Violet chuckled again. There was no doubt about it that she'd been a bad influence on him and he had just admitted it. Also letting her know that he'd inform her when would be good for them to smoke again. She liked smoking with her little buddy. Well, not exactly little. He was taller then her easily which probably made him seem older then her when in fact it were the other way around. Violet was twenty-one while Brandon in ways was still considered just a kid. Just wait until he was another year older. She bet he was counting down the days.

"Of course," She glanced over at him with a genuine smile, very sincere as she meant exactly what she said. Absolutely! If there was anything she could do, name the time and place and she'd do it as long as she cared about you enough. And right now, only two people were in that category in her life. Her older sister Rose and Brandon. "Oh Brand, don't make me laugh." She shook her head softly followed by a small giggle type laugh. "Not even remotely close." That wasn't completely true. She did have a small crush on Brandon but atlas he was already spoken for and currently underage so if they did happen to hook up they would have to keep it hush hush till he was eighteen.

Finding a perfect spot along the boardwalk, Violet parked and turned off the engine, pocketing the keys and turning towards Brandon. "I'd say this is a good enough spot. Now let's go get something to eat." She opened the door and jumped down from the vehicle. The smell of food was wafting through the air as the wind blew and the smell was driving her stomach absolutely crazy!

[Brandon Ambrose Novak]

She chuckled as he had said she was just a little bit of a bad influence on him, but hey, he was most of all the worst influence on himself, besides being restricted to his house all he could do was corrupt himself and would see what he could get away with. He seriously was grateful that she told him if she could get him away from his parents, she would. It was sweet and he was glad he had a friend like her. She told him not to make her laugh, but it was fun to make her laugh, but he did want to know if she had met anyone. She asked about his love life so he had to ask about hers as well. It was only fair, but see he was completely oblivious to the way that she felt about him. “And why not? “ he asked her his eyebrow rose. “No nice looking fella’s at work?” he was curious if she found any of them cute. “We’re so going to have to find you a decent fella that will treat you right.” he said to her and nudged her playfully.

They pulled up to the board walk, and parked the smell of food waffled in threw the open window and he was in heaven, he rolled it up, and got out of the car stretching as he did so before closing the door, listening to Violet saying lets get some food. It indeed was a good spot to park. “Yes let’s do just that.” he remarked agreeing he was hungry and def could eat. He stretched some more, before heading down the street lettings his nose take him to where smelt good, and hoping that he didn’t lose Violet. He was on a mission and wanted a burger, he found a place. “ I think this will be a good place if it is good for you.” he said turning to face her and see what she says “ I want a juicy burger with onion rings and bacon with some fries.” he told her. It sounded good to him and he knew he could indeed eat just that. Then maybe get some fried dough. He always liked that sweet and delicious treat when he goes to the beach. It was something that was just delightful, and he wouldn’t have to listen to his parents moan about proper food and how those are a heart attack waiting to happen.

"Maybe some nice looking girls...but that's about it." Violet replied seeing as no guys ever bothered to apply at the flower shop. They must've thought it'd bring down their manly ego or something. "And we both know I don't swing that way." She poked her tongue out at him in case he had forgot or decided to come back at her with some kind of sarcastic remark about liking girls. When in fact she really didn't. Maybe as friends but even that wasn't very likely. She didn't get along with girls as well as she did guys. They were just so much more laid back and less of a drama fest. "Good luck on that one. Let me know when you've found someone." She bumped him playfully with her shoulder.

She stopped walking when Brandon did, the smell of the food coming from inside driving her stomach mad. "Please, oh please shut up...you're making me even more hungry." She teased him in a whiny tone. "Yes, any place that smells that good is fine with me!" She exclaimed happily, quickly grabbing him by the arm and pulling him behind her as she hurried inside the bar and grill. She was tempted to also get a beer with her meal but Rose would kill her if she found out her little sister had been driving her truck while under the influence.

Entering the bar and grill, the air felt warmer then it did outside so Violet slipped off her stripped hoodie to show the gray t-shirt she'd been wearing underneath. After letting go of Brandon of course. She knew he probably didn't like being pulled on like that but in this case, he may not mind! They were both starving and with what he said that he'd been craving made her want the same thing. Nodding towards an empty table, she carried her sweater in one arm as she headed over and took a seat, grabbing one of the menus.

[Brandon Ambrose Novak]

Violet told him how there maybe nice looking girls that work with her, but not guys and reminded him that he doesn’t swing that way when it comes to lovely ladies, just like he don’t swing that way when it comes to dudes…For a while he had forgotten where she had worked and thought maybe it was a coffee shop, but was remembered it was a flower shop. He’ll if he worked at a job that had only dudes he’d probably have quit and tried to find some other job, but that was just him. She had nudged him and told him good luck with that when he said they’d have to find her a nice dude. He was sure there had to be one somewhere…She also said to tell her when she finds one he nodded and smirked a little.. “Well now maybe instead of telling you I’d just set you up on a blind date and tell you to meet me there just so you won’t run away and trick ya into a blind date.” he teased not knowing if she was likely to run away if he found her a date. Therefore, it was a good try in his books to tell her to meet him when really she has a date. Now with him saying that she may worry that he had found her a blind date, but hey, he liked keeping her on her toes. He wasn’t sure if he knew anyone her age to try to set her up with. He’d have to research into that.

He had let his nose lead the way and his stomach would grumble, as they got closer and closer to food and how he really wanted to eat… Good thing he wouldn’t be doing much surf or swimming today otherwise he may end up with cramps so soon after eating. Violet whined when he apparently was making her hungrier…. Welcome to his life when things started to smell good he’d get hungrier too, but then again he is a growing boy. It wasn’t long before she said the place smelled good, and was dragging him behind her. She was apparently in as rush. He must have really made her hungry…“Did you skip lunch today?” he teased as he followed behind her into the bar and grill. It was warm inside, which was nice. It wasn’t too hot and wasn’t too cold for him and he has been in some hot and cold situations when off hunting with the family. Hell, he thought his parents would hunt werewolves into a volcano if they had to, but then they’d likely be dead unless the wolf fell in first… it made him wonder if it would indeed die from that, it would have to of right? He shook his head from the thought and followed her to the booth…

Once they found a table, he slipped into the side opposite of her and skimmed the menu. He wanted what he had said outside, but skimmed the menu anyways… Everything looked so scrumptious. He was in heaven if there was a good heaven that is…”What are you going to get?” he asked his brow rose a little in a curious manor. “I am telling you if I had room in my stomach I’d so take one of everything. It all sounds so good.” he stated that as he looked at her waiting for her answer, he threw a sugar packet at her. “If all else fails you can have that you’d be hyped up on sugar,” he was damn sure she’d be bouncing off the walls if she ate sugar for lunch. It made him wonder what the place would do if they ever had a customer that came in and ate only sugar. What would a person charge for something like that? It made him chuckle under his breath the though of someone doing that. He didn’t think they would allow a person to just eat sugar. He is sure they’d have to at least have a coffee or tea to go along with it right? A question would haunt his mind… Oh, the things he could think of…

He scanned the room to see if anyone he knows was in there, he also liked to be aware of the exits if he could as if he were some sort of paranoid loon, but always is good to be aware of your surroundings in case something tended to pop up. He looked around and noticed some sort of game on the tv, the people at the bar off course were being loud, but that was expected it being a game and all, but it was a welcomed distraction from his life that was for sure.

[Deleted]

Violet had to think of what to say to that but came up with nothing. She just sighed as her shoulders sunk. Blind dates was something she just didn't do very well with. She either screwed them up royally or the guy turned out to be a complete perv or weirdo. Although, if it were up to Brandon to find her a blind date, she might be safe. Maybe the guy would be even a little bit like them. Just maybe. She continued to stay silent on that aspect and just grinned at him before they had walked into the bar and grill. "Yes," She admitted about skipping lunch today with a guilted look on her face. "I did have a power bar for breakfast though." She added in or more like pipped in with the fake excitement shown on her face as she said it.

Scanning through the menu, she frowned, chewing softly on her bottom lip. "I'm really not sure..." And before she could say anything else, he had pelted her with a sugar packet. "Hey!" She yelled at him as she hadn't been expecting that at all. Picking it up, she threw it back at him. "The power bar was bad enough. I don't think eating just pure sugar will help any." She retorted with a pout, looking much like a small child which must've been funny being much shorter then Brandon yet older then him. "Do you know what you want yet?" She asked in return, wondering if he planned on getting what he had mentioned outside because in that case, she may get the same considering she didn't know what to get herself.

She then noticed as his attention wandered and asked, "What's up?" When he didn't answer right away, she added in, "Earth to Brandon!" She waved her hand in front of his face then that's when she noticed he'd been watching the people at the bar who were being quite loud due to some type of sports game playing on the TV. She just rolled her eyes at them and turned back to her menu. She thought she should at least start off with something to drink. Maybe a Pepsi.

[Brandon Ambrose Novak]

Violet keep quiet when he mentioned the blind date and he was shocked she didn’t have some sort of snappy retort to it, but didn’t press more so he’d have to see what he could do. She had admitted to skipping lunch and he shook his head and tutted her. “Meals are important, Vi. You should try to eat three meals a day or your going to waste away and have pigeon legs.” he teased. She admitted to having a power bar for breakfast and he scrunched his nose up at that too. He didn’t think that was much of a breakfast it couldn’t really fill someone up could it? He really didn’t think so. He’d eat that and still be hungry. She had fake excitement written all over her face when she stated about eating that… “ Why’d you eat it then? “ he asked. “Don’t tell me Rose didn’t buy any groceries this week,” he said with a curious look on his face.

Once inside he glanced at the menu and had asked her what she was gonna have every thing looked good to him. He was a grown guy and he was starving. He had threw a sugar packet at her, and laughed, and she actually threw it back at him. She pouted and told him the power bar was bad enough that sugar won’t help. She def looked as if she were a little girl with that pouting, but the pouting so wouldn’t work on him. “ Oh, but it will. It will make you all the more hyper missy.. So I think ya should eat it.” He said tossing it back at her and poked out his tongue.

“Everything looks good, but I think I am gonna go with what I said outside.” he told her. It did sound like a good plan and may be filling especially if he gets onion rings and places them in his bacon cheeseburger. He didn’t really know what he wanted to drink yet, but was leaning towards a chocolate milk shake He thought it would be a good combination with his burger, fries, and onion rings. His gazed wandered, and she was trying to get his attention waving her arms in front of him saying earth to Brandon which must have drew a little more attention on to her. “ Oh nothing.. I just like to be aware of all the exits in case problems manifest themselves.” He had told her when he finally had brought his attention back to her.

“ It is a good thing to know especially in case of a fire.” He told her. Yeah that was a good cover lie just in case… safety first and all. “ Whatever game is on at the bar seems to be a good one” he told her. At least as far as he could see it was a good one., he shrugged and went back to looking at the menu giving it a once over for when the waitress came to take their orders and the chocolate shake became more and more appealing to him as each minute passed.
