can't shut my heart up

storytime

Phoenix POV

                  I'm waiting at the moonlight cafe...again...for the person i met at pride. We've wanted to meet for a while but we keep having things happen or not being able to make it...maybe we shouldn't but at least meeting would be great. I'm in the back corner table with my hoodie up when i see someone in a white hoodie designed to look like black paint was dripping on it walk in. I remember they said they'd be wearing that so i wave to them. They sit in front of me and we put our hoods down-

P: *gasp*

A: p-phoenix?-

P: angel?

A: w-well uh...shit...your the pup?

P: uh...your the...i-

A: so it WAS you at the library

               Oh great so its someone i knew...i don't know about this-

A: hey...don't worry ight? i won't tell anyone heck...your now the first person in town to know i'm kinda into this...lets kinda start over...hey...so how's your day been

Violet POV

              Ruby's gotta be back now...i kinda made cookies for her. I know it's dumb and she'll maybe think so but she's finally out. I take the car over and see something's different about her door frame...there's some strange device on it...i've been so worried i just hope shes okay...i want to talk to her about whatever happened. I knock on the door

R: fuck off

V: ruby? its me violet 

R: ...okay? fuck off

V: ruby please let me in

R: *sigh*...its unlocked 

V: oh thank you

                I walk in and see them on the sofa. They don't get up or look at me...they're just laying down on it face down with one arm hanging off it

R: what do ya want?

               She eye shadow is fairly dark but it doesn't seem like its indicating anger

V: hey ruby...i made cookies

              I step closer and she gets up and backs away

R: l-look violet thanks but just...don't come to close okay?

V: i...but-

                I walk closer and she backs uponto the pavement thru the door she had open leading to the backyard

R: AHHHHHH MOTHER OF GOD-

V: RUBY?

                  She trips forward and lands back inside the house. I quickly help her up and she shows me something on her ankle

R: i...i'm not allowed to leave for um a fucking while...look-

                   She pushes me off and looks down at me once she gets fully up...i feel so small near her and i mean i am...i'm 5'4 and they're about 5'9 plus the height the boots give them

R: you shouldn't be here...*looks away* you could get hurt...and why would you wanna be here anyways-

                  I put my hand on her face and softly turn her face to look at me

V: because i care...your my friend...and you didn't hurt me back there...so i know you care about me...please just tell me i don't care how crazy it sounds...i'll believe you...i promise

R: *sigh*...don't look at me like that

V: i won't stop unless you say yes

R: ...fine okay?...i'll tell you

V: promise the whole truth?

R: cross my heart hope to die

                   We sit on the sofa and she scoots away as far as she can

R: *sigh* so uh storytime...the first week we were here everything seemed fine...sure i was the scarier one but i...at least allie was okay with me because yanno...we're sisters but then one night there was this weird black smoke at one of our shows. At first i thought it was a new part of the act but then when the show was over and everyone left it didn't...it didn't leave. So as the stronger one i went up to it to see what i could do and it kinda...attacked me? it forced its way down my throat and i passed out. Allie brought me home and...everything seemed different from there...sure i was never a people person i tolerated allie at most but...i never tried to be violent unless people pissed me off...suddenly i seemed more...blood lustful and then she appeared in my mirror

V: who?

R: i don't know her name but...she...she is the smoke if that makes sense?...and...*sigh* she controls me...i d-didn't want to hurt lexie...sure that monster you saw at pride...the one trying to kill that fucking bastard was me
