The Girl. Page 3

  After dinner was done, Paul Gene went outside with his four sons to feed the animals. Brenda was standing by the kitchen sink washing the pile of dishes.

  There was a window above and she looked outside onto her boys feeding all the animals in the cold just as they always have from young on, Brenda smiled, watching them four tracking through the snow and knew they are all very strong.

  They all never complained about doing the hard things on their farm either. Brenda finished cleaning up the kitchen and her tears had stopped, but she was still upset about the bar.

  Nevertheless, knew her boys are probably looking forward to the idea.

  The Wiley boys all have been suspended from school many times over roughness, as they were fearless along with painless.

  From the time, they all could walk around each of them would punch the air as though they were fighting someone. The other thing about these four boys is that they never shed a tear and honestly have not once, as they have faced some terrible misfortune also.

  Shane even lost two fingers at twelve-years-old from a fishing trip his middle finger and pinky were gone on his left hand.

  Never blinked an eye, as you could see him giving his all and holding the tears back taking the pain, Shane showed much strength and courage.

  His brothers as well saw their down falls and never shed a tear and took the pain.

  Sebastian at just ten-years-old thrown off a horse that trampled onto him.

  He somehow managed to roll out from underneath the horse, which almost stomped him and suffered broken ribs with a broken collarbone enduring much pain.

  The boy still gave his all by freeing himself and at only ten-years-old showed great strength, as he rolled hurt underneath the big horse. One time, Seth jumped off the top of the barn landing straight onto a nail going through his foot, instead of tears pulled it right out actually grinning as his brothers all yelled, “MAW GET THE PEROXIDE!”

  Recently, Saul was in an automobile accident and suffered many broken bones. The car went off a hill, tumbling down and hitting hard into a tree. This instantly forced Saul right from the vehicle and threw the front windshield shattering it with his body.

  He handled much pain and spent a week in the hospital with both arms fractured in a sling, and never complained once.

  Furthermore, he flirted with the young nurses constantly and Brenda knew Saul was Mr. Popularity with females.

  Especially the morning she and Paul Gene with the other three boys walked into Saul’s hospital room.

  Catching a young nurse laying on top of him, as they were kissing up a storm, Brenda immediately covered young Seth’s eyes and gasped out loudly, “Saul!”

  The love session was broken up fast and much later that night, as the hospital had cleared its visitors out.

  Seventeen-year-old Saul and the young nurse finished what they started and had sexual intercourse on his hospital bed. Saul blew his one good friend off over the unfortunate accident, because his friend was drinking and using drugs, as Saul saw red over that.

  He remarked, “I don’t have room in my life for careless or ignorance”.

  Saul’s girlfriend Abigail blew him off over cheating on her for the third time, she was the fourth girlfriend Saul has had and cheated continuously on them all.

  Brenda’s feeling about him being a player seem to be right on the money and Paul Gene’s feeling about his boys was sure right.

  Those boys are painless along with brave and feared nothing, as nothing fazed them. Like their paw, Paul Gene has always told them to be as it was a rule of his to be strong and that life can be hard sometimes and there is no time to waste with tears.

  Since that cannot help a situation as it, just stalls time and you do not need that.

  Their paw was right about sitting and crying can waste time, because a few years ago at the young age of thirteen and fourteen.

  Saul and Shane was walking home from school a crowd of boys jumped them both. The fight was bad, as the five boys caught them both off guard. Suddenly, striking them to the head with baseball bats and both fell to the ground instantly with blood running all down the side of their split head.

  Saul rolled on the ground gasping and could not catch his breath, as he was in a daze with almost tears, he heard loud shouting with screams of torture.

  In a blur, Saul rose his head up, as blood run down heavily into his eyes and saw the crowd of boys all on his younger brother Shane. Viciously kicked, as he was down they were even hitting him with the bat repeatedly with him screaming out, “GET OFF ME!”

  “STOP MAN”.

  Trying very hard to get up, Shane could not, as there were many of them and blood runs down his face badly, he was a bloody mess and covered in red.

  Saul wiped his eyes quickly and stood up taking his pain, holding the hurt back. He had to help his brother who was in need and as for crying, well fourteen-year-old Saul found out that there really was no time for tears.

  Saul helped his brother Shane out and they ended up cleaning house and took over winning by a long shot, as them boys sure cried.

  Saul along with Shane, then walked home still bleeding heavily, each of them held a bat in their hand and cracked some heads.

  Brenda was still looking outside on their many acres of land watching her family, shaking her head at her husband, as Paul Gene had rules about everything.

  A few weeks pass, wonder how Paul Gene’s family was all doing in Tennessee. In addition, if little Seth’s one brother Shane had fought his youngest brother finishing the job that he remarked he would.

  On the drive heading to Tennessee, Seth’s two brothers glanced over at him in the white van looking at a huge shiner; guess Seth took pain like his paw told them to take. Also glanced over at their other brother Shane who was sleeping and had two black eyes swelled shut and Saul with Sebastian chuckle.

  Chapter 1. Two years later.

  The sun shines brightly in Chattanooga Tennessee, 1970, the first week in June, as it was summer break.

  School kids and many were enjoying their summer vacation.

  Including a young girl named Ella Anderson who was content with the start of summer. Ella and best friend Dana were sure enjoying themselves.

  They went swimming and going to the mall buying neat new swimsuits.

  Along with going to the little town carnival that comes every year, Ella was sure having a good time.

  The best time of her life was right around the corner, she had no clue that the love of her life was coming very soon.

  It would hit her hard and would fall deeply for her first love, will it be a good thing though? Let us just see and find out who is around the bend for Ella that continued to have fun with her friend.

  Ella was a natural red head, as her fire red hair went past her tiny waist Dana had long dark wavy hair and a curvy figure.

  Told Ella one warm evening, “Hey let’s do something different”.

  Both girls were sitting on the front porch steps of Ella’s parents split-level home. “What can we do?”

  Eyes large, “Let’s us go into the far side of town”, said Dana smiling. Shaking her head, “Oh no, I mean no way, it is wild there”, replied Ella. “No Ella, it’s fun and there are males, many cute ones”.

  Making a squinting face, Ella mumbled, “It’s a bad idea”, her friend smiling very big added, “I heard there are the hottest guys there”.

  “My parents will kill me or maybe not even care”.

  Hung her head looking sad now and remarked, “Since their never around anyhow”. Pitying expression, Dana felt bad for her friend, as she listened to her.

  Putting her hand against her heart, “I want a good life some day with my true love”, said Ella. Dana smiled, as Ella added, “He will be a gallant hero you see in the old western movies”, and she giggled.

  Placing her hands to her chest now Dana remarked, “Oh my, gonna be the damsel in distress”, as they both giggled. “Come on girlfriend, how you will ever find
your knight-in-shining armor by sitting here on this farm”, said Dana excitedly.

  Eyes become huge and she replied, “Your right”.

  Folding her hands with a pleading look, Dana added, “You’re going to be eighteen soon, maybe you will find love, please lets go?”

  Ella gave a wide smile and said, “Okay, let’s do this”. Dana was happy and all smiles.

  Unsure though, “I do not think we should go to the west side of town, I heard it was real rough”.

  Waving her hand up Dana said, “It’s cool, don’t worry”, Ella shrugged her shoulders in hesitation.

  They got dressed up, as Ella even grabbed her mom’s cowgirl boots and looked nice. Ella’s bright red hair flowed all the way down past her real slender waist and many freckles covered her face, but they were cute.

  Furthermore, was skinny and did not have much of a curved built as most young girls have. “Ready”, said, Ella wearing a little blue jean dress that had ruffles around the bottom.

  “You look hot Ella”.

  Taking a bow smiled saying, “Thanks you do too”, as Dana took a

  bow now giggling.

  Wearing tight blue jeans and a black halter-top with spaghetti string straps, as her long dark

  wavy hair draped all down her bare back.

  Knee high boots that fit snug wrapping around her legs, Dana had it all planned out, “Come on Ella”, heading out the front door to Ella’s home.

  Therefore, they went over to Dana’s small trailer where she lived, as she was less fortunate and sure not on the wealthy side.

  Hand on hip, Ella said, “Now what?”

  Standing in a run-down kitchen and batting her eyes Dana replied,

  “Watch this move”.

  She had two older sisters and went up to one asking, “Darlene, you going to town tonight?”

  Sitting by the round kitchen table painting her fingernails, “Dana I work there of course”, swinging her head of long blonde hair back.

  Ella gave another smile at Dana and they were about to be off.

  Twenty minutes later the two girls were sitting happily in the blue station wagon while her sister drove, they are both excited.

  Darlene asked, “Where do you want dropped off?”

  Stretching her neck Dana replied, “Here is good”, pointing at the main corner heading to the west side.

  Therefore, Darlene stopped the vehicle, as the girls giggled and Darlene pointed at her little sister and said, “Okay Dana, just do not get into trouble, I cannot stomach hearing dad’s mouth”. Waving her hand Dana gave a little grin and said, “Of course not”. Pointing even more at them her big sister added,

  “Hey stay here on this side of the railroad tracks, because the west side is strictly for grownups”. Raising her eyebrows, Dana asked, “Hey Darlene, have you ever hung out around the west side?” “Not anymore, I don’t want to know that part of town exists”. Glancing in the mirror putting lip-gloss on, smacks her lips.

  Ella now wondered and thought it must be bad, Dana asked, “Why, Darlene?”

  Giving a frown, Darlene replied, “It was just a bad choice I made with a guy”. “Oh, bummer”, said Dana and Ella looked sad.

  Pointing at her younger sister, “Stay away from that side of town that’s filled with jerks”, the girls look at her and Darlene added, “Mainly this blonde haired man was such a player”. “Sorry to hear that sis”, as Ella listened.

  Then Darlene told them bye and drove away, they stood on the corner by some stores in town, standing in front of the barbershop.

  Throwing her hand up, “Well what do we do now?”

  Dana smiling big replied, “Come on were going on a little walk past the train tracks, where the fun and guys surely are”.

  Folding her arms eyes big Ella said, “Hey didn’t you hear your sister, guys there are bad”. “Oh just because it happen once to her means all guys, no Ella, don’t be paranoid”.

  The girls started walking, Dana seem to be all smiles and Ella appeared worried, heading across to the far end of town. Otherwise known as the rough side of Tennessee, that her big sister told them to stay away from. Dana said, “Wow, hear that music, it is different here already and sounds fun”. Shaking her head a lot, “Yes, sounds like loud ruckus, we are going to get hurt”, remarked Ella annoyed.

  Dana really waved her hands up, and swinging her hips to the sound of the music. Watching her friend dancing, Ella mumbled, “Especially if we get caught down here our parents will hang us”.

  Eagerly, “Hey it’s coming from that bar over there”, said Dana pointing at the bar then added, “Let’s go look”.

  Swinging her hands up, jerking her head, “Oh great, I came into town to go to a bar sure is different and fun”, replied Ella waving her hand up.

  Clicking her fingers to the music Dana said, “No, let’s just look in the window at the drunken people”.

  Laughed to that walking over by the bar and went peeking into the window. Dana with Ella was giggling looking in and it appeared crazy inside that bar.

  Many citizens and seemed as though all of Tennessee comes in there the girls kept watching and there was sleazy women inside the bar.

  Dana with Ella both said, “Yuck”, and kept looking.

  “Wow look at that hot guy?”

  “My window is steamed up, I can't see crap”, said Ella and strain to see inside the bar. Putting her hand up, “Don’t cuss it’s a big turn off to guys”, remarked Dana that stares in the window with a glow.

  “Well hey Dana, I am having a fun night staring in a window”.

  Dana pointed at the window saying, “Oh my, there are many hunks”,

  “Wow”, as she started fanning herself and added, “My there are hot guys around this part of town”. Giggled looking back in the window then remarked, “I feel faint”.

  Now Ella wiped the window off trying to look inside, with her finger pressed to the window, Dana asked, “Well, you see him?”

  “Yep saw him, can we please go Dana”, that put her hands on her hips frustrated. “Bull Ella he was hot”, said Dana mockingly.

  “Maybe for you, this is no good time Dana”.

  “Come on Ella it beats sitting at home”, added Dana irritated still glancing into the bar. “You told me we were going to have fun”, turning away from the bar, and went standing by another building.

  Putting her one hand up, Dana said, “Okay let me use the pay phone over there to find out what time my sister will pick us up?”

  Therefore, Dana went to use the phone and Ella shook her head annoyed, while talking to her sister, “WHAT!” With her hand against her forehead she added, “Come on how we going to get back home, because it’s miles and dark out”.

  Ella really swung her head disgusted; as she listened to her friend mention that they are stranded. Holding her hand against her head, Dana yelled, “No we are not having fun, we want to go home”.

  Raising her voice higher, “No Darlene we can’t wait until midnight”, said Dana upset.

  Throwing her hands up in the air, Ella very wound up remarked, “Great, we are stuck in a wild part of town on a Friday night”.

  Both hands on her hips, Dana said, “I am sorry my plans failed”.

  “Oh we are going to get kidnapped!” Dana hung her head and Ella added,

  “We should just get in the car with a stranger, hitchhiking before they drag us into the car”.

  Ella was swinging her head almost off and Dana said, “I do not know what to do?” “I told you thumb a ride from a killer, at least it will be a way home Dana”.

  “Do not get funny Ella, I’m sorry, just once I’d love to find a great guy”.

  “Get real Dana looking in a bar cannot be a good guy”, as Ella turned back pointing to the bar. Dana just hung her head almost in tears and Ella was about to eat her words.

  The two girls were sitting on the curb and Dana was crying now, as Ella was still swinging her head about to get a neck injury.

  All o
f a sudden, the bar doors burst open and a big brawl comes outside and a person with long blonde hair was yelling very loudly, “KNOCK HIS LIGHTS OUT MAN!”

  The person yelling to the big fight-taking place was swinging his arms around. To a person with short dark hair that was fighting and even stomping his foot on the ground egging the one person on while he fought.

  The two people were hitting each other, repeatedly when blood squirted onto Ella and Dana, as they both jumped up fast. “YUCK!”

  The young light haired person swinging his arms and yelling to the big fight, comes up to the girls pulling them back fast from the very bad fight now taking place, as the two people are pounding each other rough.

  There was a crowd of rowdy males cheering and yelling the girls were shocked that a person from the bar looked out for them, as he did shout though.

  “FINISH THAT JERK ALREADY!”

  The one dark haired male that was fighting really pounded the other light haired man, down to the ground viciously. Swung lightning fast punches constantly straight into the person’s face as he was down and blood squirted everywhere.

  Ella covered her eyes saying, “Oh my god is it over?” Dana taking a deep gulp remarked, “Oh my god all the blood, no it’s not”, then put her hand by her mouth adding, “I am going to be sick”.

  Trembling, Ella kept her eyes covered tightly, as the young blonde haired person put his arms around her snug, and held Ella tightly sheltering her from the horrible scene. Ella shook though and Dana kept saying, “Oh the blood”.

  The person that helped pulling them aside from the fight said, “Hey y’all look kind of young?”

  No response except, “Oh blood all on the building”, they are upset. “What are y’all doing at night sitting out front of a bar?”

  “We are stranded, wanting to go home now”, said Dana staring at the dreadful fight.

  The person noticed they are very young to be alone late at night on the wild side of town, and how scared they both were said, “Come with me”, as he let Ella out of his arms now. Pointing to the bloody battle, Dana asked, “But what about your friend over there fighting to kill?”
