Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 17: 62 Miles Away

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I'm sitting on the green grass in the park and watching ducks on the lake. I still can't believe that he just left me in the middle of the room. He was talking to that pretty girl without any sign he notices that I'm still there. After like 45 minutes I lost my patience and left. I have never felt like this in my life. What if I was wrong for the whole time? What if he doesn't really love me? What if I was just like a back-up for him? I mean, the way how he was smiling and looking at her. He never looked or smiled at me like this. Am I jealous? Yes, of course I am. I thought I was special for him, but now I finally see the truth. I was just another girl, a little stupid girl who had her head up in the clouds until she didn't fall back on the ground really, really hard. Love fucking hurts. My dad was right. I should have stay away from him. Now I wouldn't be alone in this huge city sitting on the grass in the park without any idea what to do or where to go.

*LUKE'S POV*

I look out of the window for few hours. I wish I know where she is right now. I want to know what she is thinking. It's probably not anything nice, because I totally ignored her like for about an hour. I know I fucked this up so much and so bad. I don't have any chance to find her. She can be anywhere in the city or she could go home. I don't know. Then I feel that familiar feeling inside me. I hit the wall with my fist. I know exactly what's going on, but I don't care. Suddenly I stand right in the kitchen and I lift up the chair and then I hit the table with it. the table breaks in two halves. Then I lift up another chair and throw it right across the room. "What the hell?" I hear familiar voice. I'm not sure if it was Alexis or Bianca, but I don't care about anything. I run to the living room suite and with a single move of my hand I throw it down. "Stop it" I hear someone scream, but I keep smashing this apartment until someone doesn't send me to the ground. When I realize someone is sitting on my chest to hold me down on the floor, I look up and see Alexis. Yes, my childhood friend Alexis is demon exactly like me. Well, with the difference she learnt how to control it. I push her down from me and run to the bathroom. I lock the door behind me and I lean my hands on the sink and look up to the mirror. I'm looking in it for a while when I realize my eyes are black. They're not flashing. They're black. Like permanently. I mutter at my own reflection in the mirror and hit it with my fist in full strength. The mirror breaks into the pieces.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I stand up from the ground, because people just start to looking at me with looks on their faces clearly asking themselves if I'm alright. I start to walk aimlessly around. I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do. Suddenly I hear a familiar voice. I look around and see the boy with black hair looking at some girl. His face is so close to her face and his arm is around her shoulders. I obviously stopped walking and standing there like I'm frozen. Then I recognize the girl. It's the same girl he was fighting with back in that apartment we sneaked in. I can see at him he likes her. I smile for myself, but then I feel the pain again. I look away from there and want to start walk again when someone calls at me. "Avi" I hear the voice. I want to pretend that I didn't hear anything and just walk away, when suddenly tall boy with black hair stands in front of me. "Hi" I say and attempt to smile, but I failed. "What are you doing here?" he asks with surprise. "I'm spying on you, obviously" I say and playfully pinch his arm. He laughs and then he looks at the girl. "Oh, sorry. This is Kelly, my friend" he says when he introduces the girl with him. He's so nervous around her, I can say he really likes her. "And this is Avi. My other friend" he says to the girl. "Hi, nice to meet you" I say. "Nice to meet you too" she says with a big smile on her face and hugs me. I really wasn't expecting this, but I hug her too, so she doesn't think I'm a cold bitch. When we pull away, Calum immediately slid his arm around her shoulders and she giggles. "So, seriously. What are you doing here?" Calum asks me again. "I'm just walking around. You know" I say and shrug. "You can walk with us" girl says and smiles. She seems really nice and she and Calum look good together. He deserves someone who will love him like he deserves. I just hope she will like him the same way when he will tell her his little big secret.

*LUKE'S POV*

I sit on the couch with third opened bottle of vodka. I don't know what to do. Ashton, Michael, Bianca, Alexis and Bella went to some night club. I didn't want to go. Those three girls are our childhood friends. As I said already, Alexis is demon like me, but she can control herself. Bella is demon as well, and Alexis taught her how to control herself. She actually wanted to teach me as well, but I'm just too headstrong. I don't want to, so I left. Ashton was following me to this old creak house and then he returned for Calum and Michael and they came to me. We decided to stay there, and then I met her. Now she's gone. Yeah, Bianca. She's angel like Ashton, but the difference is, she has white wings and is supposed to protect people. When I open the fourth bottle of vodka and my vision is already blurry, I hear the door opens. I look there. I see something green which I assume to be Michael and something red, which I assume as some random girl from club. Actually, I still don't get it why Ashton went out. Those black big wings on his back are totally invisible. I laugh for myself loudly, which makes Michael to give me a look and I lift up my hands to apologetical gesture. Then they disappear in one of the rooms. They're followed by three other people. I see Ashton is totally wasted. Bianca and Bella are carrying him to another room. Then I hear the door slams. I look there and see Alexis. "Don't say anything. It was the worst night ever" she mutters and goes to her room. I stand up and walk there too. I have a little problem with keeping the balance, but whatever. I quickly open the door. "Hey! Do you know how to knock?" she mutters at me. I close the door behind me and without any hesitation I crash my lips on hers. I know I should stop, but I don't. And she doesn't pull away from me anyway, so... I excuse this in my head as a behaviour of drunk and desperate person. She left and we even weren't an official couple. No one knows if I will meet her again or not. She could be gone from my life forever. It's not like I'm cheating on her.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

"So, what were you doing out there? I want the truth. We both know you're such a terrible liar" Calum asks me just in the second when Kelly closed the door on the bathroom behind her. I just shrug. "Hey, what happened?" he asks another question and I just shrug again. He sighs. "What did he do?" he asks again. "Don't even try to shrug again" he mutters. I sigh and shake my head. "I don't want to talk about it. I just want to go back home" I mumble. "What about your dad?" he asks and I want to shrug, but when I look at him I don't. "Still better than looking at him" I say and we both know who I am talking about. "We're 62 miles away from your small town" he says and I sigh. "I know. I don't even have any money or any idea how to get home. I don't even have any other clothes and let's be honest, this one has to stink so bad" I say. "Yeah, you don't have any idea how much I have to keep myself calm to not to throw you in the water somewhere" he says and we laugh. Of course, his smell is much more sensitive than anyone else's.
