I started to giggle a little till we were both laughing.
"You know this is the first time I have seen you laugh and I mean really laugh."
"Yeah I guess it is. I don't laugh much after what happened with Cam and me."
"I see. Well how bout you go get your strike, then we'll head to the pizza place, and we can talk about that over a nice hot gooey pizza."
"Okay, I think I can handle that."
"Cool!"
Damian winked at me making me blush as it always had. I went out to the floor and let the ball roll knocking down every pin there was there. Then we headed to the pizza place.
"So, what really happened between you and this Cam person? If you don't mind my asking."
"I suppose you have the right to know now that Hayley told you that I have been hurt by him. He was a guy I met at mom's work place. We were there for a party. He was really nice to me and I kinda liked him. He asked me to go out with him so I did. Since I lived in my family's apartment alone he came over every night to see me. We would stay up late and talk about our dreams and what not. He soon found out that I was weak in a way and decided to try and go further. Once night he told me to strip and I told him no. I knew where he was going with it and I was not willing to give him that of me. That is to be for my husband only. That is if I ever marry. Anyway he started beating me and just before I passed out I sent a text to Joe, mine and Hails big brother. He and a bunch of his mates came over and took care of Cam. Then they got me down to the hospital were I almost died till Joe gave me a direct blood transfusion to save my life. Cam is serving Jail time but he'll be out in a just a few weeks, and he'll be looking for me. And I have a feeling that the man who did the same to Hails will be looking for us both here soon. Its Cam's brother. He was mad at me for texting my brother to come to the house and help me out of a fix. Mich will stop at nothing to get what he want's from both of us girls. Hails was submissive to him after what Cam did to me, but I will never give Mich what he want's from me."

Damo's P.O.V
****************
By the time Cassie had told me her story I saw tears meandering their way down her cheeks. I reached a crossed the table and took her hand tightly in mine to let her know that I was there for her.
"Cassie, hun, I'm sorry that Cam and Mich have done this to you and Hayley. I can tell you that us lads will stop at nothing to keep both of you girls safe, and sound. That is a promise."
"Thanks. Joe and his friends are coming to spend the rest of the tour with Hails and I. There must be at least twenty of them. So you'll have lots of help I'm sure."
"The more the merrier right?"
I winked at her making her blush. I was glad that her brother would be coming to stay with her and Hayley with all of his mates to keep both girls safe. But I knew that I would stop at nothing to keep Both Hayley and her sister safe. Yes I will admit that I loved Hayley and I saw Cassie as my baby sister. And I would let no one hurt them without paying for it. No one. Our pizza came and Cassie cheered right up when she saw the good food. She polished off half the jumbo sized pizza.
"Cassie have you been starving yourself?"
"Maybe a little. why?"
"You ate half the pizza and that was a huge pizza. Most girls can't eat that much."
"Okay no I have not eaten at all since I got here to see Hails like she was. I was to depressed to even try. Not to mention promising to find a way to make Mich pay for what he did to her. And he will pay for it. Him and Cam both some how will pay for this dearly."
I saw fire in Cassie's eyes telling me that I needed to get her mind off of the subject.
"So Cassie what do you do for fun? Other then read."
"I like to draw, write, dance, sing, and ride horses. How bout you, Other then singing what do you like to do?"
"I love to play a good game of footy with my mates, read a good book, and hang out with all my mates. You including."
"Thanks. I love to play footy too. Hails and I do that at home some times. I have also played with my brother and his mates. Its lots of fun. He and his friend are a team and I am the only girl on it. They often like to pick me up and carry me all over the field while they are running their laps. Joe is still very protective of me though. He lets his mates have time with me and Hails friends are allowed to be with me. But other then that he will give anyone new "the Talk" hes that bad. But I love that fact that he cares."
"I am glad that he cares that much about you too. Any girl would be lucky to have a brother like that. Poor Gem has two of us. My and out older brother Emmet. So she is very protected. Then we have our father on top of that."
"Wow. She is a very lucky girl indeed."
Just then a guy about my age came running up to us. He was about 6'4, athletic well fit slim build, midnight blood red hair just like Cassie's and sharp, blue green eyes. he was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, a blue t-shirt making his eyes even more blue, he had on expensive running shoes and a green zip up hoodie that brought out the blue in his eye. He looked at me with a stern look telling me to be very careful around Cassie.
"Joe! Your here!"
Cassie jumped out of our booth from her seat opposite of me and gave him a huge hug. He smiled down at his baby sister as he hugged her close then kissed her forehead.
"Yep I'm here Cassie. Just came from seeing Hails and she told me you two were down here on a date."
"Well its mote like two friends having a bowling night then having some pizza. And before you start is was Hails that put poor Damian up to this."
"Hails is playing match maker again huh?"
"Yes she is. Oh where are my manners. Joe this is Damian McGinty, Damian this is my brother Joe."
"How do you do sir. Its a pleasure to meet you after all your sister has told me about you."
"Its goo to meet you to Mr. McGinty. Cassie have you been bragging about me again?"
"He gave Cassie a stern look as he asked her that. She looked down at the floor not wanting to meet his gaze. Joe did not let her get away with that though. He put his right hand under her chin tilting her head back till she had to look him right in the eye as his hand cupped her chin, not letting go. When she did not answer he asked her again. She finally caved and said.
"Yes Joe I have been bragging about you and your mates again."
"Cassiopeia Arianna McBride! How many times have a told you not to brag about us? Hm?"
"I don't know. But Joe you know that our friends and family is all I have to be proud of!"
"That is not true! You have lots to be proud of and you know that!"
"LIKE WHAT?"
"Cassie lets not get to yelling, you have your animals, your talents, your voice. Those are all things to be very proud of."
"I am not that good at singing. I only sing at your footy games."
"That's a start sis. You never know where it will go from there. I bet even Damian did not start up at the top."
"No I started at church and at school. Then it went on from there, but I was far from being at the top when I started."
"See Cassie? Never loose sight of those dreams, never loose sight of hope. Most of all, when you make it to the top, never forget those who love you and care about you. Don't forget the ones who have backed you the whole way and want to see you succeed. Okay?"
"Okay Joe."
Joe gave Cassie I tight hug which cheered her up a bit from their disagreement. Then Cassie grabbed Joe's wrist and sat back down really fast almost causing Joe to land on her. Still holding his wrist she put his arm around her shoulders as he smiled at her. He tickled her sides making her laugh.
"Well seeing as you've been good to both my sisters I guess there is no reason for me to give you the talk. But mark my words my friend, You ever do anything to hurt wither of them and the gang will be upon you."
"I will remember that."
"Joe he has a sister so I am sure he knows all about keeping a girl safe."
"Oh well that changes things a bit. We may just have to make him a part of our gang in that case. Would you be willing to join us?"
"Whole heartedly!"
"Good then, We now have twenty one members."
"I am going to have a lot of names to remember."
"It wont be that bad though. I think you know one of them. His name is Conor McGinty."
"What? No way not con?"
"Yes Con. He's been lots of fun to have around, and I think he's sweet on Cassie."
"So your the mystery girl he's told me about but wont let me meet. Con is my cousin."
"Oh my! I thought you two looked like you were related."
"Yep. He and I are like twin brothers. We were born only a few months apart."
"Cool. You have the same eyes and the same hair so I had a feeling you two were related some how. Now I know. But I highly doubt he likes me that much. Okay yeah hes taken me out to dinner a few times and taken me on long drives through the country side but lots of friends do that."
"Nope he's sweet on you I know it, all I hear is this girl this this girl that on and on and on all day long. Your all he ever talks about."
Cassie blushed a brilliant shade of red making bot Joe and I laugh.

Joe and I finally got back to the hotel. We would be in a room together to cut back on the costs of having more people with us. Joe was the first one in bed. As usual that was his way of making me hurry up so he could get some sleep. I got my sweats and t-shirt on and soon crawled into bed next to Joe. He wrapped his arms around me as we drifted off to sleep. I drifted in and out of sleep all night long.
"You know this is the first time I have seen you laugh and I mean really laugh."
"Yeah I guess it is. I don't laugh much after what happened with Cam and me."
"I see. Well how bout you go get your strike, then we'll head to the pizza place, and we can talk about that over a nice hot gooey pizza."
