Falling

Chapter 8

  Waking up this morning was absolute hell for me. I didn't want to leave my bed but I knew i needed to eventually. What woke me up was the sound of banging coming from downstairs then two male voices screaming at one another. All i did was just lay there listening to the muffle conversation but what i could make out was something about me. Why would they be talking about me and what was is it that was said. That's when I knew i needed to get out now this bed and find out for myself and that exactly what i did. I get dressed in and black long sleeve shirt and dark jeans, curtesy of the guys getting my things from the dorm, then i put me hair up into a messy bun then walk out of the door to the stairs. As I'm walking down i notice the one voice is Jesse's then realized the other is the devil himself. I walk as quiet as i can to the room where they are having this discussion.

   "Dude all I'm saying is that don't you think you're being a little to harsh on her like she's already been through a lot since she walked through the doors to the bar, it wouldn't be fair to put her through more problems.

  "Jesse, what do you want me to do? She has defiled every order i have given to her from the start and you know this is only for protection especially since the Forsaken know we have her. If she found out that they've been tracking her down for months she will leave here and I can't risk that, not for the club and even not for her."

  I'm shocked to hear what they have just said but I can't help myself from listening more. I lean against the doorframe but only to where they wont notice that I'm there. I have many questions but one just keeps playing in my head more often than it should and it's who are the Forsaken? Fuck this shit I'm fed up at this point. I walk in to the room only to see the boys faces one with sorrow and one with pure anger. I ignore Chris and walk over to Jesse and stop right in front of him.

   "Who are they and what do they want with me?" I ask him, looking up at him.

  "They are another biker club which is our rivals and we're not sure what they want but we're doing everything we can to figure that one out. We didn't want you to know about this Carson. It's just something that not a lot of people can handle but that's why you need to stay here to be protected from them." He explains

   "And who gave you guys, especially that prick, the right to decide when i need protection from something or someone I don't know about. What you guys think I can't handle myself because believe me i can and I'm not gonna let some biker jerks tell me otherwise." I said, pointing to the demon sitting down in a chair behind a desk.

  "You heard her Jesse she doesn't need us so we might as well let her go but I don't want to hear any bullshit about how she's in danger from anyone but she can take of herself, am i correct?" Chris said in a sarcastic tone.

  I turn to face him and give him the dirtiest look of all time. If he thinks he can get rid of me that fast he's has another thing coming. I mean sure that is what i said but that doesn't mean I'm terrified to be by myself but I don't care to admit that to them. I continue to give him the death glare, which feels like throwing daggers into his soul with my stare, as he gets up from his chair and walks over to the mount cabinet and pours himself a glass of whiskey. This man is insane! I turn away to look at the ceiling and all i want to do is scream my head off. Then i feel hands around my arms which startled me a little been then I relaxed a little when i noticed that they were Jesse's hands. I get that he is trying his best to calm me down but if he only knew what that asshole did last night then maybe he will understand my frustration towards the devil.

"We'll figure this out. And you're not leaving her, even though Chris is president of this club,he won't let anything happen to you because he's joking...right?" He says staring back at Chris with a serious stare.

  Chris shrugs his shoulders, downs his drink, then walks out of the room but not before bumping into me as he walks past us. He is starting to get on my nerves which not a lot of people can do. I smile at Jesse to let him know that his reassurance is just what i needed the most at this moment. But i still have many questions to all of this but i guess this would have to wait another day. I let him know that i have to get ready because i want to leave this hellhole of a place for the day. He offered to take me anywhere i wanted to go which I obliged with going to the beach because i knew that if i was going through a tough time then that's the place i want to be to let it all out of my system. I head upstairs and to my room to change and pack a bag. When i open the door, Chris is sitting at the foot of my messy bed with his hands balled up into fists and this deadpanned expression on his face. All i can do is stare at him as he goes through this state of mind of his. A minute goes by and I'm just sick of watching him, i shut my door which i guess got his attention, and i walk over to the closet that literally took me a full day to recognize that it was there and start to grab my bikini and shawl.

  "And where do you think you're going?" He asks

  "The beach with Jesse, why you asking? Because last time i checked you're not my father." I snapped

  "No you're not going anywhere not with all this shit going on right now."

  "If you want to go so bad you could of just asked but otherwise I'm going and you're not stopping me. Jesse will be there to protect me its not like I'm going all be myself so don't get your panties in a twist." I explained

I grab a bag from the bottom of the closet floor and stick my things in it. I close the door and walk over to the dresser to grab my book for one of my classes which i still can't go to but i have been getting my assignments from Jesse. I put that in the bag then walk over to the door. Before i walked out i turn back and smile at the demon that burns holes into my head then shut the door.
