Chapter 52
AJ flew off the bed putting his boxers on while Kristen quickly covered herself up. Kristen's dad came in the room, grabbed AJ and threw him out of the house. He went back in the room and grabbed AJ's clothes and threw them out with him and locked the front door. AJ stood there on the front porch not knowing what to say or do. Kristen's neighbors across the street were sitting outside and looked at him very strangely with him standing there in his boxers. He grabbed his clothes and went to the side of the house and put them on. Kristen was still in the room getting dressed as fast as she could. She was fully dressed again when her dad flew into the room.
"What are you doing?" Kristen asked worriedly as she watched her dad dig through his dresser drawers.
"Where the hell is my gun at? He's a dead man," her dad said referring to AJ.
"Are you crazy! You can't shoot AJ!" Kristen yelled.
"Watch me," he said as he found the gun.
"What is going on in here?" Kristen's mom asked walking into the room.
"I found your daughter having sex in our bed with that bastard," he said walking out of the room. Kristen went to run after her dad to stop him when her mom stopped her.
"You stay right there young lady." AJ went around to the front of the house just in time to see Kristen's dad walk out the front door with a shot gun in his hand.
"Oh shit," AJ said softly as he took off running for the rental car. He dug in his pants pocket until he found the key. He got in the car and locked the door right just when her dad got there. He started banging on the window as AJ sped away down the street. Her dad went back into the house where his wife and daughter were in a huge argument.
"What the hell do you think you were doing young lady?" he asked interrupting them.
"Did I not specifically tell you two last night that I didn't want you having sex in this house?" her mom asked.
"It's not like we planned it! It just happened!" Kristen yelled back through tears.
"I don't want to hear your excuses! You two said you would be going out for a movie while we were gone!"
"And you said that you and Dad would be going out to dinner!
"Don't be turning this around on your mother and I. You are not to see that bastard again," her dad said referring to AJ again.
"What! I'm nineteen years old you can't tell me who I can and cannot see!"
"Do we want to make a bet on that?"
"Yes! I do! I don't live here any more and you can't tell me what to do!"
"We'll see about that," her dad said leaving the room. He came back holding up Kristen's plane ticket back to Florida. "You're not going home," he said tearing up the ticket into little pieces. "And you don't have the money to get a new one."
"Mom do something!" Kristen yelled through tears.
"He's right. Ever since you left you've been in a lot of trouble. Maybe this way you won't be."
"How have I been in trouble?"
"Kristen just look at yourself. You put yourself through so much trouble. I mean, you were almost raped and...."
"That wasn't my fault," Kristen said softly as more tears flowed from her mother bringing up that subject.
"I know how you are Kristen. If you hadn't have cheated on Nick it wouldn't have happened." Kristen started crying harder and could barely get words out to speak back.
"That's not how it was," she finally said.
"I'll put you through a bunch of counciling programs and you being with your family will help you."
"Fuck my family!"
"Watch your mouth young lady!" her dad yelled.
"This family doesn't even care about me!"
"And you think that boy does?" her dad asked.
"He cares more about me then this family ever will. I need him more than you now," Kristen said coldly.
"You better stop speaking to your parents that way!" her mom yelled as she smacked her daughter across the face.
"Don't worry. I won't need to speak to you at all," Kristen said leaving the house.
"Come on Kevin, please pick up," AJ said in the car on his cell phone. On about the seventh ring a very tired Kevin picked up the phone. "Kevin! You're up thank God!"
"AJ?"
"Yeah."
"I wasn't exactly up. It's one in the morning here. What are you doing calling so late and you better have a good excuse."
"Is Kristen's dad chasing me down the street with a shot gun a good excuse?"
"Yeah, so what really happened?" Kevin asked disbelieving.
"That's the truth!"
"Well, what happened for him to come after you with a shot gun?"
"Okay, I'll give you the run down of it all. Kristen's parents went our for dinner leaving the house to ourselves and....."
"AJ, please tell me you didn't," Kevin said interrupting.
"Just listen. Anyways, we started kissing and we made it into her parents bedroom. Don't ask how and I'll leave out the details. Kristen's dad came home for some odd known reason and walked in on us. He threw me out of the house then chased with a shot gun. I have no where to go cause my wallet and money is at Kristen's house and I don't know my way around this damn town."
"Damn it AJ! Can't you ever leave that dick of yours in your pants where it belongs?" Kevin yelled at him.
"Listen, I didn't call you to get a lecture! Now what am I supposed to do?"
"Pull over to a phone booth and look up a hotel that you can get to on your own and give me the number." AJ did as he said and gave Kevin the number to a hotel that was on the same street he was on so he could easily get it. "Okay, I'm going to call the hotel and give them my credit card number and get you a room. Where's Kristen?"
"Uh, she's still at her parent's house."
"You left her there? She is probably getting yelled at for something you are both at fault for!"
"I'm sorry but her dad was chasing me with a loaded gun! I wasn't exactly in the mood to get killed!"
"AJ, I don't think he would have killed you."
"Oh no? Let's talk hypothetically. Say you had a daughter and found her having sex with some strange guy in your bed. What would you do?"
"Good point. I'd probably kill him. He's just protecting his daughter."
"And he has to end my life for it?"
"Just go and get Kristen and go to the hotel! Can you find your way back to her place?"
"I think I can. I haven't gone too far."
"Good, call me when you get to the hotel with her."
"Thanks, Kev, I owe ya one," AJ said hanging up the phone. He turned the car around and slowly began finding his way back to Kristen's house. Every second that he got closer he got more and more nervous. When he was about a block from her house he saw someone walking up the street with their arms around themselves. As he got closer he noticed it was Kristen. He pulled over getting out and grabbing his jacket out of the back seat that was left there the night before. He went up to Kristen and put it around her and noticed she had been crying pretty hard. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her as she cried in to his shoulder. "I'm sorry Kristen. It's all my fault." Kristen shook her head no in AJ's chest before looking up at him.
"No, it's not. We're both at fault. We did it together." AJ smiled at Kristen and kissed her on the forehead.
"Let's get out of here."
"I'd like that." AJ held the passenger door open for Kristen then shut it when she got in. He got in the driver's side and began driving away back down the road to the hotel.
