Battling Demons: My Undying Love

The Figure Behind The Window

Still upstairs in his room, Damon stood in front on a roof to floor window recollecting on past events.

He completely forgot about Kim, who had asked him to come join him at the party that was still ongoing down stairs.

Smash!

Suddenly there was a loud sound from downstairs which sounded like something had been smashed to the floor.

"Could it be one of the ornaments Dad got for me from one of his expeditions?"

After pondering about it for a while, Damon decided to go downstairs to take a look.

While getting closer to the sound of the breakage, there were sounds of people shouting.

As he got closer, clear voices which seemed like an argument came right after the shouting.

"Hey punks, you are clearly not invited here, so please leave here before things start to get messy!"

"That voice sounds like Kim's" Damon thought, "But who is he talking to?"

"What! I wasn't invited? How can that be? I'm sure I got the right address."

The person responding to Kim seemed to have really lost his way, so why was Kim sounding so furious?

As Damon got closer, he got a clear glimpse of what was going on downstairs.

It was a group of thugs standing on one side, while his schoolmates were on the other side. Kim stood in front of his schoolmates in a bid to defend them.

"Sirs! I'll say one last time that you better get out of here before things get messy. This is your last warning." Kim said indifferently.

"This kinda reminds me of that day"Damon thought. It's just as Kim defended the Nerdy Victor back when they were little.

The thug in front who appeared to be the leader seemed infuriated by Kim's threats, "Hey rich kid!Don't take my gentle talk for a joke. I'm clearly here to wreck the party and I'm definitely gonna be the one to make a mess of this place. Given the situation, you are in no position to lay out threats."

The leader of the gang seemed to have come here to cause trouble. But what was his reason?
Why would he come here, with twenty other thugs all of a sudden from nowhere to cause trouble. 

More importantly, they were clearly older than most of us at the party. Say about twenty-two to twenty -five years of age.

"Chantelle, you better come out here. I know you know I'm here for you. Better come out before someone gets hurt due to your foolishness!" The leader of the thugs yelled.

Upon hearing the name the gang leader just mentioned, the crowd behind Kim looked confused? This name couldn't belong to the person they thought it to be!

Most of them turned their heads to look in a certain direction. It was a smallish fair lady. She had braces on and wore round lenses. She was the only Chantelle they knew and she so happened to tag along after prom ended an hour ago. She barely went on outings so it was hard to believe she was the Chantelle these thugs were looking for.

But... could she actually be the one these thugs are looking for? As they stared at her for a while, she gave a smile showing off her braces which made the others quickly dismiss the thought.

"Chantelle!! You better come out here this instant. I'm getting impatient and you know how I get when I lose my cool!" The thug leader said again.

"Dude, like I said, you came to the wrong location. We don't know the Chantelle you are looking for. The only Chantelle we know here is the nerdy looking girl at the back. And she's clearly not the type to hangout with hooligans like you." Kim would usually be pissed in such situations. But for some reason, he was trying to show a calm expression. The only thing he could do to ease himself was by getting on the thug's nerves.
