A Hell Full Of Angels

Not A Betrayal

"You're talking crazy here Hillory," I said as I sat with her in the library with Nova as we studied for my special classes test.

"Look I am just telling you what I saw," Hillory said.

"And what did you see" Nova asked.

"Other than her sneaking off with other girls and getting really close with them after not mutch," Hillory said.

"That doesn't mean that she is cheating on her," I said.

"I don't know I mean the word sneaking doesn't always have good reasons for doing so," Nova said.

"Don't you start agreeing with her," I said.

"I'm just pointing out the facts," Nova said.

"Look if you wanna go investigating this whole thing go for it but I want no part of it I'm not putting my friendship with Holly in jeopardy alright," I said returning to my book.

The days passed and Hillory was looking for something concrete to prove to me what was going on while I just focused on my classes and Nova as things began to pick up when Holly's Birthday began to come around. This was the day that she would finally be able to move in with Cat as a full adult we all knew that they may make plans but nothing would go ahead until this school year was over. Cat did love Holly but as a teacher, she had a deep desire to make sure that as many people as possible had a decent education and of course that included Holly.

"Sooo one month until the big 18 how does it feel," I asked as me and Holly took a walk through town.

"Fun exciting nerve raking can't really decide," Holly said.

"No sadness for not being with your family," I said.

"None, you see after I told my family about me and those I was attracted to they refused to acknowledge me I had to do everything myself and the when days like my birthday and Christmas came around it got worse I was not allowed to be there they said that a sinner like me would sour the day so I was thrown out and told to come back the next day," Holly said.

"Jesus Holly I am so sorry that must have been horrible," I said.

"Oh it didn't last long after I told a friend of mine she talked to her family and I was allowed to spend those days at hers," Holly said.

"Well then do you feel sad that you can't spend it with them," I said.

"Naaaa cause now I get to spend it with everyone here well most of them anyway," Holly said.

"Most of them?" I said questionably.

"Yeah, I've been recruiting girls here and there to help me celebrate the most historic day of my life," Holly said.

"So that is why you have been sneaking off with girls," I said.

"You know about that" Holly said.

"Not until Hillory mentioned that she saw you doing it," I said.

"So Hillory saw," Holly said.

"Yeah she had some crazy notion that you weren't being faithful to Cat and looks like I was right she was crazy," I said.

"I would never betray Cat like that" Holly said.

"I know like I said she was crazy," I said.

"Right," Holly said.

"So why all the girls anyway," I said.

"Well a lot of them like us are 17 turning on 18 and I don't know how many are coming back so I want to have a huge blowout with as many as possible I have made a lot of friends here over the years," Holly said.

"You wanna have one incredible night with those that won't be coming back," I said.

"Bingo," Holly said and we both laughed.

"So how many girls have you got signed up so far," I said.

"A little over 50," Holly said and my eyes widened.

"Wow really," I said.

"Yep," Holly said.

"It's great that you have so many but I don't think that they will all fit into our dorm room," I said.

"Oh they won't it is going to be on the green at night like a big bonfire I worked it all out with the head a week ago," Holly said.

"Okay but if you have a big blowout with a bone fire and all doesn't that mean the others that you didn't' invite will turn up," I said.

"That's just it, I am inviting everyone even the boys if they want to, you see the idea is that when all those who said that they can't make it see the party they will come regardless, of cores there will still be those that don't make it because they may not like me but I want as many people as possible," Holly said in her optimistic carefree way.

"Sounds like a fun night," I said.

I was in gym class the next day and it was a football game I was on a team with Jaz, Nova, Jess and Hillory and we were winning 3 goals to 1 and Hillory was responsible for two of them. I was making my way down the court as Hillory weaved through players with the ball she saw me in place and passed the ball to me I took it and made my way to the goal I kicked the ball and it hit the back of the net. We celebrated and I gave Nova a kiss before getting back into place the game was going good but soon the other team took the ball I moved to try and get the ball off them. I was getting very close with good time but they saw me and took the shot before I could get there but the ball hit the pole and then hit me in the head and it all went black.

I open my eyes to see that I was in the infirmary with all of my team and a few others standing around me I smiled and they all let out a sigh of relief making me chuckle. I tried to sit up and my head began the throb and I placed my hand on it and lay back down to relieve the pain with a small grunt of pain and discomfort.

"You feeling okay," Nova said as she sat on the side of the bed.

"As long as I am in this position," I said.

"What's the last thing you remember," Holly said.

"Um we had a football game but that's all I got," I said.

"Well we played the game we were winning 4 to 1 and then they had the ball they took the shot but it hit the pole rebounded back and hit you in the face knocking you out cold," Nova said.

"Oh really," I said.

"Yeah Cat said that you might have a concussion," Holly said.

"Cat," I said.

"Yeah she gave us a free medical examination and that was her conclusion," Nova said.

"I didn't' know Cat could do that," I said.

"Neither did we," Nova said and we smiled.
