The Devil - (Johannie)

Chapter 9

Someone Better

~ Johnnys Perspective ~

I've spent hours and hours doing work, I haven't got up to eat but I was drinking all the beer bottles in my office. It was the only thing that got my mind off Annie, especially since she hasn't come home for days. I know I should be out there looking for her but she made it pretty clear that she doesn't feel the way I feel about her

"Dude!" Carson yelled running into the office "we found her!"

I instantly stood up and took the papers that were in Carson's hand, instead of seeing a location I saw pictures...of her and Hayden...

"She's with Hayden...and his new Mafia.." Carson says mumbling

A tear slipped as I flipped through the pictures of Annie and Hayden, there were pictures of them kissing...cuddling...Annie was happy...happier than she was with me

"We need to ge her back, Haydens putting her in danger—

I cut Carson off as I threw the pictures in the garbage and sat down "No" I stated. I couldn't take Annies happiness away, I will always be the devil, she doesn't deserve a guy like me

"He's going to get Annie killed!!!!" Carson yelled. I didn't look up at Carson, I just kept going through my work "Hayden cares for her, she is safer with him than she is with me"

"HE TRIED TO RAPE HER!!!" Carson was raising his voice even louder now. The only reason I wasn't killing him now is because I know he has a thing with my sister and if I hurt my sister....I guess deep down I did care for her, but I still didn't deserve Annie

"Get out of my office NOW" I demanded. He rolled his eyes and left. I put some thought into what Carson had said, if anyone came keep Annie safe it's me...

~ Annies Perspective ~

I was getting ready for the ball, yes we had another ball until I felt arms wrap around me and lips kiss my cheek. I giggled as I turned around "Haydeennnnn" I said giggling

"You're so beautiful!" He said as he started to kiss me down to my neck. I pulled away and kissed his lips slowly.

A few hours later we had reached the ball, Hayden open the door for me and helped me out of the car "what a gentleman" I say

He chuckled at me as I started to laugh too. I interlocked my hand with Haydens. We walked in.

"How are you so beautiful" Hayden asked as he continued to stare at me. I blushed as I looked away from him and tried to hide my face

"Aww don't look away baby girl" Hayden says as he gently makes my face turn towards his.

Hayden went to talk to his Mafia friends while I went to talk to Lauren and Jayden, I was hoping I wouldn't see Johnny here, I can finally admit my feelings are done for him, but he'll always do something that makes all my feelings come rushing back

"Can I talk to you"

I turned around and saw Johnny standing there...Lauren and Jayden had walked away as soon as they saw Johnny come my way

"I'm sorry for kicking you out...I was angry...." He says in a low voice. I was never angry at Johnny, but if Johnny does get mad at me, I know he'll turn into his Mafia self and I don't like that

"You had a reason to" I mumbled looking away from him, I couldn't stand to look him in the eyes, I was happy with Hayden, he doesn't get mad, he spends time with me, and he listens to me, Johnny doesn't do well with listening, he thinks he has to boss everyone around.

"Then come back to me...please...I need you" He said as he gently grabbed my hand with his. But I instantly pulled away at the touch of his hands...they were so warm and cozy....

"I'm with Hayden...he makes me happy..."

Hayden came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist hugging me from behind "hey buddy" Hayden says with a smile

I watch as Johnny looked at me in pain...he was hurting. With a blank of an eye he was gone...I turned to Hayden as he was holding my waist very tight

"You're hurting me" I said pulling away. For the first time I actually seen Hayden angry at me. "Do not talk to him, ever again" He demanded

I looked at him with a confuse look "OKAY?!!!" He yelled. I jumped up in fear as everyone started to stare at us

"Stop fucking looking at me like that" Hayden muttered. I looked down as he walked away from me, I felt a tear slip as I walked outside to get some fresh air...I hate this Mafia life

"Hey..."

I turned my head to the left and saw Johnny, I sighed and looked straight "I'm going to go...when I get into that limbo I will know you don't want me and I will respect that decision, I will leave you alone" he says

"And if I come with you...?" I questioned still not looking at him "then I'll make things right, I'll be the boyfriend you want me too" He responded back, I can see him starring at me with those eyes, I hated them, they made me feel bad for such a horrible person

"Your filled with Anger and darkness...you can't be the guy I want you to be—

Before I could finish he cut me off, but not with anger, with pain in his voice "you had faith in me for a moment! Why can't you just give me that faith again and I'll prove to you that I can be better"

I stayed silent, partially because I didn't know what to say but also because I didn't know if I wanted to be in Johnnys life

I heard him sigh and walk away, I watched as he stepped into the limbo, he looked at me one more time as we made eye contact. I broke the eye contact while walking away from Johnny and his limbo and going back into the ball
