CHAPTER 9: Find Another Place.....

                                    

                                          
{CASTLE}
                          
         After Darryl and I had returned from the docks, Darryl had gone off to bed and I stayed up for a little bit. 
                          
         It wasn't until I grabbed a beer that I noticed Joey and Elle were gone. 
                          
          I immediately texted Joey and after him not texting back, I was about to call him until I heard two car doors outside shut.
                          
         Then as soon as the door opened up, I saw them come walking in, drunk of all things. 
                          
         I was furious and irritated. I thought Elle had understood everything and what not to do. She might not have liked the situation as much as me but we had to do it. 
                          
         So I stormed up to them both and started explaining to them both, yet again, just how serious this situation was. 
                          
          Then after Joey walked off, so did Belle. Which I followed her up to her room and continued telling her how serious this all was. Then something happened that I never saw coming. She threw up on me. 
                          
           After throwing up all over my shoes and a little on my jeans, she next ended up passing out and fell forward to where I caught her, picked her up then helped carry her over to the bed and laid her down. 
                          
          I'm not sure why but I suddenly got the feeling that I couldn't leave her. So I ended up taking a quick shower in my bathroom, change clothes real quick and then head back into the room where she was sleeping with a little cute snore. This was going to be fun. 
                          
*****************************************
                          
       
          The next morning when I woke up, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes, was Elle, still sleeping only facing me on her side. 
                          
          She looked really beautiful and cute with her little snore and the way she slept. 
                          
          Wait a minute. What the hell am I saying? This is Danny's little sister. I'm not attracted to her. 
                          
           My thoughts suddenly get interrupted from a knock on the door which also startles Belle a little bit but yet doesn't wake her. 
                          
          I get up as quickly yet as cautiously as I could to make sure I don't wake her and head over towards the door. 
                          
           "What the hell?!" I answer the door and step out, shutting the door behind me. 
                          
           "Sorry Castle but we have an issue with the shipment to Antonio." Darryl says. 
                          
          "Fine." I tell him, which luckily I was already dressed so all we had to do was run downstairs and head towards the docks.
                          
           Afterwards, we returned home a little after the sun went down and as soon as we headed inside the house, I saw all the guys hanging out with some of their girlfriends and wives while the others were with whores or just drinking and hanging out. Though I didn't see Elle, not that I cared. 
                          
           I don't know why all of a sudden I began thinking about Elle but before I do anymore I need to get her out of my head and thoughts. 
                          
           So I begin drinking a lot and joining the little party that's going on. 
                          
           
*****************************************
                          
          When I woke up the next morning, my head was throbbing and it was hard for me to get out of bed. 
                          
          I had rolled over and noticed a naked blonde beside me and got up real quick to take a shower and get dressed before meeting up with Darryl in deciding where for sure to take Elle to to hide her. 
                          
          After meeting Darryl in the office downstairs, we began talking. 
                          
          "So have you thought of any other place?" I asked Darryl. 
                          
          "No because we both know there is no other place." Darryl says.
                          
          "Well I don't believe you." I tell him as I try and not to think of the headache I have right now from my hangover. 
                          
           "What the hell is the matter with you? Why the hell is it so bad that we take Elle to that place? It is the one that we all go to in order to hideout. Which is exactly what we are trying to do with her. So why not tell me the truth. What's the real reason you don't want her going?" He asks me. 
                          
           I just look at him and take in a deep breath then let it out before answering. 
                          
          "I said no. Figure something else out." I snapped at him. Which I didn't really mean to snap at him but my head was pounding and I just wanted to stop reminding me of all this bullshit.
                          
          "Castle, I don't know what it is you have against her, but you really need to let it go and put it aside for...." He stops after I interrupt him.
                          
           "For Danny?! My god, I am getting so fucking tired of being reminded of what Danny wants. Every single day I fucking think about that night. In fact, I can't even close my eyes to sleep without dreaming of him dying right there in my arms. So do me a favor, stop fucking mentioning how I'm babysitting his fucking sister!" I snapped at him. 
                          
          Though I immediately start to regret it when I see over his shoulder and see Elle standing right there in front of the opened door and looks as though she is about to break down and cry. 
                          
         Darryl turns his head and see's her too then she starts to walk away. 
                          
         Darryl then looks back at me and glares. 
                          
          "You are such an asshole!" Darryl yells at me and then starts to go after her. 
                          
          Fuck! What the hell is wrong with me? Why the hell can't I ever just shut the fuck up sometimes?!
