The end of practice had quickly come around and as everyone was getting ready to leave, Patrick had pulled Pete outside while the girls had stayed inside. Patrick had asked for a minute. Cadence had just smirked to herself knowing that Patrick was not happy with the situation.

"Dude, what's going on?" Pete asked as he looked at Patrick. "I want to get out of here." He told him as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"What's going on with you and Cadence?" He said through almost gritted teeth. He knew what was going on and he didn't like it in the least bit. He wanted Pete to stay away from his best friend.

"We're together." Pete answered; he had a feeling this conversation would be coming soon enough. Although, Patrick was pre-occupied with Marcy for a while he now was seeing that other things were going on. He wondered at this time how much Patrick really knew about what was going on with Cadence.

"What do you mean you're together? Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" He questioned. He was clenching his hands tightly into fists and then letting go.

"Yeah, like boyfriend and girlfriend." Pete nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Patrick, where are you going with this and why do you even care about my relationship with Cadence?"

"Because I know you." He seethed. "You just want to get as much ass as possible." He pointed his finger at him. "And I can not let you hurt Cadence, she is my best friend!"

Pete scoffed shaking his head as he looked at him. "I'm sorry why are you all of the sudden interested in Cadence again? Is it because you realized that while you were fucking Marcy that Cadence wasn't going to wait around for you anymore?" He shot at him. "You can't have everyone Patrick. We're happy, leave us alone!" He stressed to him.

"Happy? You don't know shit about happy. Cadence is not capable of being happy. You don't know a fucking thing about her. And, she is my best friend so don't you dare ever say that I don't care about her! I've known that girl since I was five fucking years old." Patrick screamed at him.

"The best friend you fucking dropped the minute you started getting fucked!" He shook his head. "And, you think I don't know things about Cadence? I know enough. I know a whole fucking lot about that girl. Do you know what she goes through? Or are you full of shit?" He was now clenching his hands together to keep from punching Patrick in the face for being such an asshole.

"You're questioning what I know?" Patrick looked at him as he moved closer to Pete as if he were going to beat him up. As if he could take him in a fight.

"Yeah, I'm questioning what you know. What do you know about Cadence and how she is going to get through what she is going through?" He didn't back down but he didn't want this to come to blows over his girlfriend. Although he'd be willing to be throwing a punch any day for her.

"Are you asking me whether or not I know about her Uncle?" Patrick laughed as if he were amused. "What do you know? You know he is not nice to her? That he hits her?" He questioned as he stepped back.

"Yeah I know he hits her. And, I know as soon as he gets back from wherever he is that it's going to end." Pete said, he sounded so confident because he was positive that he could get her Uncle to stop whatever he was doing to her.

"Oh, you're going to stop him?" Patrick laughed sarcastically as he leaned back on his heels and crossed his arms. "You don't think I've tried that? We've had tried to take him to court." He stressed. "Every time he's raped her, every time he's laid a hand on her. And, it doesn't work. He's got friends every fucking where and no charge ever sticks." He smiled almost pleased with bursting Pete's bubble.

"Raped her...?" Pete trailed off as he didn't want to sound like he didn't know about it, but it took him by surprise. How could he have not been told about that? She was still keeping secrets from him.

"Yeah exactly. Stay away from Cadence, Pete. I do not want you hurting her. She is delicate enough. And, stay away from her Uncle." He pointed at him. "I will hurt you." He said as he pulled open the door and walked inside, slamming it on Pete on purpose.

Pete took a deep breath as he tried to get his thoughts collected. Now he had to really do something even quicker. Everything was a lot worse now then it had been a few minutes ago.

Closing his eyes and gathering his thoughts, he pulled open the door and as he walked inside was surprised to see Cadence standing right there.

"Everything okay?" She asked as she wrapped his arms around her waist and then moved hers around his neck.

"Perfect." He nodded, a solemn look on his face as he nodded and broke out into a smile. "Everything is great, come on, let's go..." He took her hand and led her out of the rehearsal space. They were going to have to have a long talk and he was dreading it, but for right now he just wanted to hold onto her and protect her.

"Where are we going?" She asked as she held onto his hand tightly.

"Back to my house, we'll watch a movie or something. My parents won't mind." He knew the long look on her face. She was nervous about being around his parents. She had never met them.

"Okay, Pete..." Cadence trailed off as she got in the car. He wasn't telling her something and what she didn't know was causing a pit to form in her stomach. She wasn't liking it all.
