“If  you came here to tell me I look bad Jacob beat you to it” I say. Nick moves across the room and sits nexts to me on the bed. He stares at me intently. “No, I didn’t I just thought you could use some company.” He raps his arms around me and the tears flow out again. He holds me and murmurs in my ear as I cry. After a while I pull back and he holds out a napkin. I nod thankfully. Then blow my nose loudly. I see his tear soaked shirt. “I’m sorry” I say and he shrugs, Nick was the quiet type. Then my stomach growled loudly, interrupting whatever he was going to say. We look at each other and burst out laughing. For the first time that day I had a glimmer of hope. He stands up, helping me to my feet. “Come on” he whispers. “Let’s find us something to eat”         

 

Chapter 24: The kiss that tore me apart

 

We head down stairs casually chatting. I look down at my bug’s bunny pajamas and laugh. Nick sees what I’m looking at and his face breaks into a grin. We reach the bottom. Nick quickly whirls me around to block my view, but I had saw it anyway. Dakota and Viper kissing passionately. His warm, strong arms holding her the way the once held me. His eyebrows narrowed in deep concentration as he kissed her. Her arms, hands moved over every inch of his body. They must of heard me gasp. They broke apart and stared up at us. Dakota’s eyes lingered to mine and instantly went hard, cold. A smirk appeared on Vipers face. I wanted to rip her throat out. I wanted to feel her warm, black, sticky demon blood flow through my fingers. I wanted to see the lights go out in her eyes. I wanted her to feel the pain I was feeling. The pain that took over my body. The pain that tore me in half. My hands curl in fists. Nick tries to steer me away. “It’s fine” I say through clenched teeth. I walk into the kitchen avoiding Dakotas gaze. “Just another guy to follow her around like a lost puppy” Vipers voice echoed through the house. Every essence in my body told me to kill her, to end her life, to make her suffer. I keep walking to the liquor cabinet. I snap the doors open. I swallow my hate like venom, like acid. Rage coursed through my veins. I open it and find a bottle of whiskey. I take it, then a pack of cookies from the cabinet. I push back past them. The tension in the air was like razor blades. “You shouldn’t drink that, you know what happened last night” Dakota said. I whirled around, and before I knew what I was doing I brought the whiskey bottle across Dakotas face. I busted into a million pieces. He fell back onto the floor with a thud. I give him a venomous stare. My voice like razors “Don’t you DARE tell me what to do! You LOST that chance” I scream at him. His right cheek was shredded. He just looked up at me with pained eyes. I look at Viper, she was smiling brightly. I lung at her, wild eyed. Nick  grabs me, pulling me away. I’m screaming words at her and she jumps back in shock. My breathing is ragged. I try to calm myself. I push Nick away. “Get off!” I yell. I give them all a once over then storm out the front door. The night air that hits me is a relief, like pure heaven. I feel like I can finally breathe. The wind was a relief against my flushed cheeks. I lean against the building. I still had the packet of cookies. I opened them, they were crushed. I put the bag to my lips and eat the crumbs. I chew loudly, looking up at the night sky. I hear a wolf howl in the distance, it sounded…sympathetic. I just sit there gazing up at the night sky. I hear footsteps and voices in the house. I block them out. I block everything out. The voices get louder and there’s a crash. The wind blows harder and nips at my cheeks. I wonder silently to myself how did it get this bad? When did I let it get this bad? I close my eyes and let the darkness take me away.

                                                                                                              

 

Chapter 25: Getting over him

 

I wake up to numbness. To an ache in my chest. I open my eyes. I was still outside. The sun was barely peaking over the horizon. I stare at it. I stare at it numbly because the only feeling I can form is hate, pain. I stand and go into the house. The house is silent, they were probably all asleep. I go into the kitchen and open the fridge, then I close it. I go to the cabinet and find the hot chocolate. I make me some and pluck two, big marshmallows on top. I sit at the counter and rap my arms around the cup. I set the warmth fill me temporarily. I think of Dakota and how this exact same warmth fills me when we kiss. It makes me feel whole again. I felt like crying, but I felt as though I couldn’t any more. I was to tired. Too tired of crying. I finish my cup then I head to the training room. Everyone was already there. They stared at me as I walk in, but I keep my gaze locked onto the floor. “Well, Viper and..” Silas trails off as his eyes linger down the list. “Riley. Viper and Riley will fight today since neither know how to show up on time” he says. I don’t look up I just walk to the mat. She appears on the other side. I see the hicky on the side of her neck. I think of Dakota and the way he kissed her. Nothing, not even anger feels me. I hear the bell ring which means were supposed to start. I bring my hands up weakly and I feel everyone’s gaze locked onto me. Viper swings and I don’t bother to block it. Her fists crack across my jaws, which send me sprawled out across the floor. It felt good. I stay down, laying there. She kicks me once, twice, three times. The spine, stomach, head. I see stars, see red. The pain overwhelms me now and I smile. I smile because I finely feel something. Viper climbs on top of me and punches my face. I feel my blood splatter across my face, body. “STOP” I hear someone yell, I know that voice. It was Dakota. Viper didn’t stop, she kept going harder and harder. I hear footsteps pounding. “Kill me, please” I ring out hoarsely. Only then did Viper get off me. She was…shocked. One of my eyes were swollen shut. Someone drops to their knees beside me. “Riley” Dakota whispers. Oh, his voice sounded so good. After everything, I still loved him. I couldn’t, I wouldn’t stop. He holds me tenderly. I feel him healing me. “No stop, I want to die” I say and Dakota looks at me painfully. He narrows his eyes and a tear slips down his face. “Why” he asks. I give him a faint smile, a painful smile “because you don’t love me” I whisper and then, once again, I slip into darkness.

 

 

Chapter 26: Confusion

I awaken with a piercing head ache. My stomachrolled and I couldn’t feel my legs. I peak my eyes open and wince at the brightlight. I hear a sigh of relief. Then a hand grips mine. I feel warmth fill me,filling the coldness that was my heart. I knew who it was before opening myeyes. “Dakota” I whisper. His grip on my hand tightened. I looked at him; therewere deep dark lines under his eyes. His eyes study me, watched me. “I loveyou” he whispers. My heart speeds up. A glimmer of happiness finally appeared.I grimace, and stiffen. Tears threatened. No! I wouldn’t cry over him again! Iwouldn’t let him see me hurt. I opened my eyes and gave them the coldest look Icould muster. “You can’t do this to me” I say angrily. His eyes soften. Hiseyes were a plea. “I didn’t want to hurt you, you don’t deserve me Riley youhave every right to turn me away” he says. I sigh loudly. I couldn’t turn away.I couldn’t get up and leave because Dakota was home. “You’ll just hurt meagain” I whisper. He shakes his head “No, I wouldn’t do that Riley”. Then thewindow to my right busts into tiny pieces. Seven demons storm in. Then, oneangel. He was evil though, his eyes were black like a demons. I couldn’t moveto defend us I was to wearily. I close my eyes and let out a shaky breath. “YOUCOME WITH US” the angel yells. Four of them have restrained Dakota, who wasfighting wildly. Wham! He decks one of them across the face. Quickly he slitsDakota’s side. I cry out like it was me he cut. “I’ll go; I’ll go just leavehim alone!” I scream. He turns to me and drops Dakotas dead weight. I hesitate,but sigh in relief when I see him breathe. “Ok, I’ll go” I say standing to myfeet nervously. The angel swipes me up in his arms and he shoots into the sky.I close my eyes trying to block out my fear. Every ounce of my body screams forme to run. To run fast, hard and away. I think of Dakota and his beautiful facewhen he told me he loves me.
