        I have now been at the club house for a few days now and I feel almost like I have less privacy then I had back at Danny's apartment. Not to mention a little more freedom to do things, such as going shopping or to the movies or the park. I was now stuck here, in this house until further notice Castle told me. 
                          
         He seemed more irritated and even more distant than ever from me. Not that I should care, but if I am being forced to live under the same roof as him then he needs to grow the hell up and deal with the situation. It's not like I enjoy any of this either. But I don't walk around acting like an ass. 
                          
        Castle luckily left and has been gone for the past several hours and I have had it, being all cooped up in this house and I might regret this, however, I am going to go crazy if I stay in this house 24/7 and not go anywhere further than the front or backyard. 
                          
          So since Darryl and Castle are going to be gone for the rest of the day and night, I figured that maybe Joey can take me to the movies and we can have some fun. 
                          
          Even though it took a while to convince him not to be afraid, he came with me.

         Joey and I had gone to Dave and Busters after seeing a movie and we had also had a few drinks too and Ubered our way back home. 
                          
         Now I'm not much of a drinker and unfortunately am also a lightweight, so I was a little tipsy as we tried quietly sneaking into the house, careful not to make any noise since all the lights were off and it seemed nobody was up. At least, that was until we saw a light come on. 
                          
          "Where the hell have you both been?!" Castle says as he stomps up towards us. 
                          
          "S-sorry boss. I just took her out to the movies and we went to Dave and Buster's afterwards. Everything is fine...." Joey says. 
                          
          "Everything is not fine! She is not to leave here at all! We are trying to find a place to hide her! To protect her! This isn't babysitting." Castle says. 
                          
          "Oh shut the hell up, Castle! My gosh you are such an asshole and party pooper. Look, I may not be a baby for you to sit, which is weird. However, I am also not someone that you kidnapped either. And I wanted to get out and have some fun. So I did, I had someone with me and we are fine." I say as I start having the hiccups towards the end. 
                          
         He glared at me with a tightened lip and tightened fists.
                          
          "Castle..." Joey began but quickly Castle snapped his glare towards Joey and stopped him. 
                          
           "I will deal with you later." Castle told Joey through gritted teeth. 
                          
           "Yes boss." Joey says and starts walking off towards his bedroom. 
                          
           "My gosh, you're an asshole." I tell him. Then I start heading upstairs, or more like stumbling upstairs towards my room. 
                          
          Once I finally get into the room and begin to shut the door behind me, I quickly hear someone kicking it in and I turn and see Castle walking up towards me. 
                          
          "Now, you listen to me. I sure as hell don't like any of this as I know you don't either. However, we both respect Danny enough to fulfill his wish. So why don't you just play by the rules and stop acting like this is a joke!" Castle says to me with his breath hitting against my face. 
                          
          I'm not sure in what made me start to laugh but I just burst into laughter. 
                          
          "Really? You really wanna come at me like that? You have been nothing but an asshole to me since the day of the funeral when we first met." I start telling him. 
                          
          "I'm an asshole? I was doing everything I could to be nice to you the first time we met each other and you were the one who went off on a rant about disrespecting my club. So yeah, I became an asshole after that. Especially accusing me for your brother's death. Cause rather you understand it or not, he was like a brother to me. So don't you EVER think for one second that you were the only one that lost someone special that day!" He says. 
                          
         Suddenly I begin to feel bad and a little nauseous. Then all of a sudden, before I could say anything else, I bent over and began throwing up all over on what I thought was the floor but would later find out that it was all on his shoes and a little bit on his jeans.
