All alone the way she feels

When we arrived home Scott took me to my room and helped me sit comfortably on my bed. We locked eyes for a second before his gaze moved to my bruised cheek, busted lip and then back to my black eye. I closed my eyes and leaned back, my head hitting the pillow as I tried relaxing after today's event.

It was silent until I heard the door bell ring indicating someone was at the door. I opened my eyes quickly, looking at Scott confused. Nobody ever came to the door so this was something new. He had the same face as me as he stood up and walked out of my room downstairs to see who it was.

I heard some talking before I recognized the melodic lovely voice I adored. She was asking where I was and I just smiled. I knew she did know exactly were I was standing, what I was thinking and even how many times my heart would beat per minute. She is very good at acting.

I heard quick foot steps coming up the wooden stairs before the door busted open and I saw her porcelain face looking at me with a concerned look as she slowly walked to my side and hugged me, careful not to hurt me more, or at least not do it in an obvious way so Scott would notice. He entered the room seconds later, a small sad look on his face. I pushed Devily away slightly and gestured for her to sit next to me.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she laid near me and rested her arms around my waist, pulling me closer to her.

"As okay as a person who has just got beaten up by someone could be," I replied jokingly although they didn't laugh. "Sorry."

I relaxed against her chest, my body practically melting at her touch and hurting more from it than it already did. 'It's better now that you are here.' I thought, knowing she could hear me and she responded with a smile as she kissed me on the forehead.

We started talking after a bit, filling the silence and I was starting to feel a little bit better after I took some painkillers and put a bag of ice on my pained bruised parts.

"Are you feeling better?" Scott asked me, smiling when he saw my face. It seems like it's obvious it doesn't hurt that much anymore.

I gave a small 'Yeah' and a smile before resting my head against Devs shoulder "Why do you think he did it anyway?" he asked, making my smile disappear.

"I don't know," I lied 'Probably because I was weak and alone like a fucking bird in a cage.' I thought to myself then instantly regretted it, remembering about Devily being able to hear what I thought.

"Probably because she was alone and nobody was around, it was easier for them because she had no protection." she said, earning a death glare from me. Sometimes it'd be better if she couldn't do that.

"Oh my God ,Angel. I knew I shouldn't have left you alone. I'm so sorry for that. I should have stayed and protected you in case something like this happened! I'm sorry..." he apologized sadly, looking down at his hands. I assured him that it's ok now that he is here and I could see a smile on his lips as some hair fell over his face, covering it.

Silence fell between us three before her beautiful sad voice filled the room. "I'm sorry I couldn't be at the hospital when you woke up." she actually was there but she did a little show for Scott. I looked up at her and whispered a small 'It's ok'.

"No, it's not okay," Scott said out of nowhere, earning a confused look from me as well as my full attention. "She is your girlfriend, she should be there for you, always be by your side, protect you, take care of you. Die for you. But she isn't. She's almost never present when you have trouble and you need someone, but I am. I am your best friend and I always was. I was the only one that really took care of you and looked after you when you needed it, not her. She should have been there before me. She should have been by your side, your hand in hers, silently crying and begging God that you'll wake up soon. But she was God-knows-where doing something else, not seeming to car-"

"I was there. Just because you didn't see me, or nobody saw me for that matter, doesn't mean I wasn't. Maybe I have no proof, but neither do you." he was cut off by Devily protecting herself.

I just looked between them two, not knowing what to say. "I believe she was there..." I softly said, setting my silvery-blue eyes on Scott's own green orbs. He looked hurt that I believed her and didn't take his part, but what could I really do? I knew the truth, he didn't.

"You do?! How can you? How can you know? If she was, then she should have stayed until you were awake and check on you to see if you're alrig-"

"Nobody could see her because she made sure she stayed hidden." I said, recieving a confused face from him. He seemed to calm down now as he opened his mouth to speak again.

"Is this about coming out to everyone? Because if so it shouldn't matter that much in this situation. It would be worth being near you."

He doesn't understand. He couldn't understand because, after all, he had no idea. Maybe he should know, maybe I should finally tell him the truth, about Devily and what she is. I felt her instantly turn my direction as she muttered a quick 'No', looking into my soul, trying to convince me not to, but obviously failing.

"She isn't human," I started and Devs just told me to stop while Scott looked at me like I was crazy, and I couldn't really blame him, I kind of was, "She's a demon, my demon."

In a second her eyes turned fully black and she disappeared from besides me, leaving me alone with a thinking looking Scott.

Silence passed between us as we just stared in each others eyes. Suddenly, he just stood up and walked out the door, ignoring me calling after him, leaving the house and me as a tear rolled down me face.

Here goes the only left hope.
