Daggers of love

chapter 38

The boys and I started walking through the festival grounds, every turn of my head or change of gaze showed a new, slightly concerning sight. Caravans and trailers where parked everywhere along with some brightly coloured cars decorated with beads and flowers, shaggin' wagons with the boot open to display grossly underfed people hyped up on drugs and hormones. While the people around us where sketchy and questionable, I felt calm and comfortable. Yes, there were some very touchy, creepy people around but I just so happen to have Marcus clinging onto my hand, so I was all good.

I'll be honest, I don't even know how it happened. Marcus taking a hold of my hand that is. I don't think I was even paying attention when he decided to hold onto me but let me tell you, once I realised, it was hard to not smile. So, this is where I'm at, at the moment. Smiling like a fucking idiot while Marcus sends me gentle squeezes of reassurance every few minutes as we walk through crowds of free loving hippies in a search for drugs.

"Jesus" I began, scrunching my nose at the horrible smells. "What happened to bathing?"

"Ma said hippies is what you get in a godless society." Willie stated behind us.

"I would have guessed showerless society" I add on, reaching around Marcus to reach billy, opening out my hand for a high five, to which I receive.

"wait" Marcus starts once I retract my hand. "Your mom, the gang leader?"

"Aint nobody tossing up devil sticks in the hood." Willie defensively spat.

"Your moms right" billy spoke, walking ahead of Marcus and I, scoping out his surroundings intensely. "a bunch of stinky, nomadic stragglers following a terrible band committed to an empty cause."

"Speak louder, I don't think the stinky nomadic stragglers heard you." I add sarcastically, following as billy leads us around a few corners and bends, landing us Infront of a green van with flowers on the doors. Cute.

"Ha-ha," billy responded equally as sarcastic as me, "you buy that story Saya told?" he asked, scratching his head anxiously as he set off again.

"I heard Lin's really her dad." Started willie, "if she don't get valedictorian, he'll kill her." Making a weird face I turn to willie, unimpressed with everything that just came out of his mouth.

"And you believe that?" I question condescendingly before turning back around.

"you're an idiot" adds Marcus, just as unimpressed as me.

"Just saying," billy continued, "sneaking off, hanging with us, drugs?"

"Us?" willie bagged out, "Saya's here to get with me." I send him a questioning stare, where the fuck is he getting at. "Soon as she found out y'all roped me into this, she was packing a bag."

"Aha, you are not even close!" I laugh out, a smile of disbelief planted on my face.

"Her family just tried to kidnap her. I don't think hooking up is a priority." Marcus stated, disgust lacing his words.

"And if hooking up a priority it would 100% be with Y/n" casually stated billy, not even bothering to look back at my now shocked face.

"Excuse me?" I question intensely, noticing Marcus's grasp on my hand get a little bit tighter.

"What? if Saya's rebelling what makes you think she's not going to experiment too" he defended, finally turning to face me, stopping us all in our tracks.

"Why y/n?" willie asked angrily, crossing his arms while shooting daggers at the green haired dickwad Infront of him.

"y/n's hot and single." The more he spoke, the more I felt Marcus's hold on me tighten. Is he jealous? I'm pretty sure Saya doesn't wanna hook up with me, she's literally forcing me to ask out Marcus. billy knows this, why is he saying all this shit? "Who wouldn't wanna hook up with her, hell I've seen about five guys check y/n out in the last five minutes, and that is not an exaggeration."

"Ok!" I yell, gaining everyone's attention, Marcus finally releasing the pressure on my hand. "Can we move this conversation back to Saya please, and I don't mean her sexual explorations." I begin pulling Marcus along, starting the movement of the group yet again.

"Yo, I heard she killed her cousin." Willie stated, changing the subject ever so slightly.

"Heavy topic," I hear billy speak, sounding further away before, has he stopped? "Rife with drama. Let's pick this up by next session." And with that he fucked off. I tried to see where he was going but immediately saw a fairly attractive young blond girl not too far away from us, seemingly where he is now headed. Well, hooking up is clearly his priority.

"Well bye, I guess" I speak, turning back around to continue walking, continuing the search for drugs.

"Doses, brother?" I hear a man say as he suddenly approaches us. Huh, looks like the drugs came to us.

"Doses?" willie questions. I stare this guy down, seems sketchy. A Long, unkept, curly beard paired with a homemade tie-dye shirt and knitted hat. Multiple beaded necklaces, a pair of admittedly cool blue glass, gold rimmed octagonal glasses and an odour that would make any cop search him. I feel like he's trying to scam us.

"Acid." The man continues, "do you wanna buy some acid? Hundred bucks a sheet." My gaze moves to Marcus as he cockily reaches into his pocket, pulling out his money. Oh no.

"here" Marcus says, handing the guy the money. The man whispers a sweet before silently handing Marcus the dug, walking backwards in a sketchy manor.

"Well, that was sketchy" I say, keeping my eyes on the guy.

"Wanna drop acid?" Marcus asks, turning towards me and willie.

"Hell, no." willie begins, "it melts your brain."

"Have you ever actually done that shit before?" I question, face showing concern.

"Me? tsk." Marcus lifts the drug up to his mouth. "I'm the acid king." He takes it, smiling at us like he's just done the coolest thing in the world. I turn to walk away, willie coming not too far behind me.

"psst" I egg willie over to me, "$20 says the drugs are bunk" I whisper.

"Oh yeah? Well 50 bucks says he's gonna trip out and loose his mind." Willie responds, whispering back, ensuring Marcus doesn't hear us.

"Break in the middle?"

"You're on" and with that we shook hands. I backed off after that, making my way back to Marcus, taking his hand in mine yet again.

"Soo... Mr acid king..." I begin, cheeks blushing as I swing our hands slightly. "Is that all your gonna have this trip?"

"I don't know, depends on how hard this hit." He responds, eyebrow raised as he looks into my eyes. "Why you ask?"

"Well..." I begin "I was thinking about buying a round of shots before we hit the road again. is that something you'd be interested in, acid king?" he looks at me, devilish smile on his face as he opens his mouth to speak.

"Hell, yeah its something he's interested in" interrupts willie, making his way back to us. "Matter of fact, I think we should go get a round right now." He states.

"I think we should wait a bit," I begin, "see how hard the acid hits, then we go drink." Marcus looks at me, his thumb rubbing my hand.

"Whatever you say, Liquor queen."
