SHOW YOURSELF

Chapter Eight : Exposed

River’s POV
I’m at Brad’s party sipping alcohol, I’m not in the mood for anything this days, I really am bored of life, nothing really fascinates me again, Ryan told me last night about the dare involving Angel which I strongly warned him against. I think she knows already. Angel is weird in many ways, she seems like she purposefully withdrawing herself from us. I had already made it my personal mission to uncover angel’s secret.
I head towards the kitchen when I see Angel on a pole, she seems really drunk and is muttering gibberish I head towards her when I see Ryan trying to get her off the pole which he unsuccessfully did, she kicked him making him fly across the room, everyone was staring at her already so I go towards her before she does anything drastic. She sees me and smiles at me, I coo at her carrying her towards the car.
‘River like the river right?’ she mutters, I nod grinning, Ryan was already by my side already opening the door. We got Angel to the house with little stress but when she saw Ryan face she freaked, she hit right across the face before grinning
‘Serves you right for trying to sleep with me, oh you idiot only if you know who I am….. I don’t feel too good guys’. Angel complains heading to the kitchen, I quickly redirected her to the bathroom in which she successfully barfed her guts out. She’s not going to feel good tomorrow I bet. I expect her to pass out but she just smile at me muttering Xavier crying, her face look so smeared so I suggest she wash her face.
‘But then you’ll know my secret’. She whispers in my ear, which secret is she trying to desperately keep.
‘I’d love to know what’s behind that face of yours, I’ve known that since the day I met you that you are keeping a huge secret’. I whisper back in her ear, Ryan barges in the bathroom asking why we were so long. Angel runs to the coach giggling, I actually like drunk Angel.
‘Look out cause here I come and I’m matching on to the beat I drum I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I meant to be this is me ohhhhhhh……. Funny cause I’m like the worst liar on earth. If Xavier saw me now he’ll bbee so diissapointed I failed everyone. But I can try t fix everything, I am brave I am bruised I am whooooo I meant to be….. this is me’. Angel sings crying; I try to get her hopefully to take her to bed but she suddenly removes her hair?
What the heck?
White flowing hair comes down as Ryan and I gasp, it was a wig? Now this is confusing, is she a model or something, like she conceals her identity to live a normal life.
Nah she doesn’t seem like the model type and this is not a watt pad book, I didn’t know what to say, to say I am baffled would be an understatement, she smiles again removing her eyes, it suddenly turns pink/purple, is this even real, she still had makeup smeared all over her face.
‘I’m pretty aren’t i?’ Angel says collapsing to the bed
Looks like someone has some explaining to do

Angel’s POV
I shift around my bed smiling, I don’t feel so good, I try to remember what happened last night, brad’s party, lily’s bullying, me drowning myself in alcohol, dancing, kicking Ryan, river helping me, vomiting, singing oh nooooooooo.
I jump off my bed examining myself I didn’t have my wig on, my contacts were gone too. Ryan and River probably saw me like this.
What should I do? They were going to ask questions that I can’t answer.
I brace myself, I didn’t have to explain anything, they didn’t have the right and audacity to ask me especially that sly fox Ryan who has only ill thoughts towards me. they were going to treat me different now like I wasn’t a piece of trash and that’s what I didn’t like.
I head to the bathroom taking a quick shower, I dress myself wearing a red ripped sweatshirt and blue short, if I was going to be a bitch it’s best I’m hot while doing it.
I head downstairs with confidence even if I didn’t feel it,  I couldn’t let two boys who aren’t even my friends define my lives. If they find quarter of what I am, I’ll either be labeled a witch, blackmailed or a lab rat and none of the options are good. Luckily for me, they were already sited on the couch probably waiting for me. I whistle trying to catch their attention, two heads were staring at me now, I smile showing my white teeth.
‘Where’s Aunt?’ I ask calmly, Ryan isn’t even trying to hide the fact that he was gawking at me. I felt my blood boil, when I looked terrible, he wouldn’t stare at me and now he’s acting like I am the goddess of beauty.
River actually isn’t that bad like his brother but that doesn’t change the fact that their perspective of me has changed from a girl they can endure to a girl they can adore. I wouldn’t bother trying to be nice, I can’t handle the fact that they found out due to my carelessness they weren’t suppose to find out at all and even if they were not this soon.
‘She’s out’. Ryan answers drifting his eyes from me, I sit down right in front of them with a poker face, I didn’t talk for a while and I guess that causes Ryan to snap
‘How could you hide yourself like that? no why did you hide yourself, do anyone else know how you look like? Does my mom know? I mean why don’t you go to school with that gorgeous face of yours? Is your face one of the reasons why you moved here? Is your eyes real or fake’. He asks all in a rush, I roll my eyes annoyed
‘Firstly, shut up, I’m not going to try to be nice to you. Also, I don’t have to answer any one of your fucking questions’. I answer simply. Ryan stared at me shocked, does he expect me to share all my secret with him , this isn’t some book where I’ll have confession time and tell them about my life history.
‘Why do you hate me so much, I don’t really remember doing anything to you’, Ryan mumbles, and guys I know I told you about keeping it cool and calm but I lose it.
‘Why do I hate you so much? Let’s see, every chance you get you use it to mock me to your friends, you talk behind my back and act all nice to me and to make matters worse, you just had to make a bet on me uh, I’ll get her to love me even fuck me. Ryan I hate to inform but you’re a piece of shit, I don’t even want to get started on the bizallion false things you’ve been doing to help me, helping me just to get in my pants. I hope you suffer in the deepest of hell, and to think that you’re starting to treat me differently just because I turned out beautiful. Oh you make me sick…. Anyway I don’t think I have to explain anything to you’. I scream at me, I felt myself shaking profusely I couldn’t keep it. It wasn’t the dare that was pissing me off it’s just life on its own.
I want Xavier, I want my mom and how my life used to be before the accident, I know I’m just letting out my frustration on Ryan but he did deserve it and I really don't ’t feel sorry.
I keep shaking frost threatening to come out of my hands, I couldn’t let them know about my powers so I counted backwards cooling myself down.
‘I’m sure you wouldn’t want your little secret to come out would you?’ Ryan trys to threaten
‘Oh you just want to be pathetic to the end don’t you? You can tell the school, no you can tell the whole world but I tell you you’ll regret ever doing so. Why? You may ask because there are something you don’t know about me that’ll you’ll find nasty and Ryan I promise you’ll end up hurt’. I warned in a deadly tone before storming back into my room.
I suddenly notice that River didn’t even speak at all, I guess he doesn’t deserve my wrath but I swear by the Lord who made me that Ryan was going to regret it if he does anything to me. I start laughing like a maniac, it feels like I was back
The same Angel that did al those horrible things is back and surprisingly I felt good about it. If anyone fuck with me, I would do a hundred times worse.
Keisha is back, my long gone demon has awakened.

Keisha's POV
Angel gave me control, she finally let me take control I needed to let everything out before giving her back control. She wasn’t ready, she needed to prepare for what was coming ahead.
Only if Angel knows that I am not the bad guy, when she put me asleep I tried to warn her the consequences. Angel had more than two teenage boys and a bunch of bullies to worry about, those are just the tip of the ice berg. She needed familiarity, I managed to compel the watchers to bring the triplets back but looks like she’ll need a whole lot more than friends to help her, she needs Xavier as he’s the only one who can help her face the past. I stormed out of the house to a boxing gym I let her frustration out, she doesn’t know who and what she’s capable of doing . if she can react so harshly towards an harmless dare when she finds out the real truth about her existence, she’ll go nuts. She shouldn’t have awakened me when she wasn’t ready. The moment I was awakned he probably sensed me. he’ll want to come for her. After all she’s his and he’s hers. They were destined for each other.
