A little help

Chapter 14: A little help

(Aris POV)

I closed the notebook and started tearing up. Why the heck am I crying? I'm so confused. I wiped a tear drop away and set the diary down. As I scanned the room for any other suspicious items, the door slowly creeked open.

I turned around to see Jocie holding a baseball bat.

"What the hell?!" I gasped. Her eyes widened and she screamed.

She swung the baseball bat at me hitting me right on the side of my head. Pain shot through my neck and I collapsed onto the hard floor knocking me unconscious.

What just happened?

~Time skip~

My whole body felt like exploding. Just as I became conscious, I realized I was tied up against a wooden chair. My hands and feet were tied behind me.

I took slow deep breaths as my vision started coming back. I looked around noticing I was in a different room. It was more colorful and bright. It had more life than the other room.

I noticed the dirty blonde headed girl laying on her bed scrolling through tiktok.

"Jocie...?" I wimpered. She glanced at me shocked. She turned her phone off and got up grabbing something off her table.

"Why are you in my house?!" she yelled pulling out the small blue pocket knife I bought the day before and holding it up to me.

"Woah! Chill! I was looking for Niki but then I got distracted..." I said suddenly regaining my memories.

"What did you find?" she questioned. It was like I was talking to a whole different person. She has changed.

"I dont even know! I'm so confused!" I yelled.

"WHAT DID YOU FIND!?!" she yelled holding the knife closer.

"A NOTEBOOK! A DIARY.. OR SOMETHING I DONT KNOW. JUST PLEASE DONT HURT ME-" I screamed closing my eyes already in enough pain. Some teardrops fell.

She went silent pulling the small blade away from me. A few seconds passed before she finally said something.

"Why would you break into my house with a blade on you... In a suit...?" she questioned.

I sniffled, "For protection... And its a long story..."

She grabbed another chair and sat on it backwards facing me, "Well we have a couple hours so go ahead."

The room went silent again. I looked around knowing there was no escape. I couldn't call Entie though because that might end badly.

"So my family had a big dinner last night and something bad happen to my sister by accident and now I'm running away because if I went back, I would probably be killed and..." I paused. Should I tell her about Entie? Just wait.

"And... I needed Niki's help." I added.

She started laughed hysterically, "Why the heck would you go to Nikita for help?!"

"Uhh I don't know, I just thought I could trust her..." I lied. I didn't want to tell her the truth though. That Niki was my not so secret crush and Jocie was my ex-crush. It might have to come out though.

She laughed again, "Why would you go to her and not me?"

"BECAUSE EVER SINCE THAT PARTY YOU HAD HERE AND YOUR LITTLE BOYFRIEND AND BESTIES, IM STARTING TO FEEL LIKE YOU WERE USING ME FOR THE SCIENCE PROJECT AND TRYING TO DRUG/INTOXICATE ME FOR IDEAS! NIKI WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! SHE CARES ABOUT PEOPLE UNLIKE YOU!!"

Her smile disappeared, "Boyfriend? Drug? Intoxicate? What are you talking about?"

"At the party! You kissed a dude!" I revealed.

She looked at me strangely, "That wasn't my boyfriend. It was my distant cousin. We were hugging." 

The room filled up with awkward silence. I felt like exploding.

"I think you were the intoxicated one." she added.

I felt relieved but super embarrassed.

"Oh.. Sorry then." I said.

She smiled, "It's okay."

"What was that notebook in Niki's room?" I asked.

She went pale, "I can't tell you... It's... family stuff."

I looked down annoyed.

"Also, you look... Horrible..." she said. I looked back up at her cringing, "What?"

"No! I mean- ugh. You're hair is greasy, you're bruised all over, and very pale..." she explained.

"Well I haven't had time to shower recently..." I said glancing at the wooden floor.

"Do you wanna use my shower?" She asked. I nodded.

She walked behind me and started cutting the ropes that I was tied up in. One by one, she slashed them.

"Ow!" I yelled wincing forward. She had cut my wrist.

"Oops! Sorry." she apologized continuing.

Once my hands were free, I reached down trying to untie my feet. I stood up slowly remembering my soreness.

She stared at me before saying, "You a full on criminal, aren't you?"

I smiled, "Whatever floats your boat.

Just as I walked out of the room, I stopped in my tracks.

"Is there any possible way I could... Borrow some clothes..?" I asked awkwardly.

She didn't seem surprised, "You can borrow some of my fathers clothes." I sighed in relief, "Thank you."

(Jocie POV)

As I heard the shower turn on, I flopped face first onto my bed.

"What a day." I said to myself. I grabbed Niki's notebook and flipped through the pages. What would happen to Aris if he knew the truth? He might not ever see us the same again. I can't let that happen.

Suddenly, I heard a big thump coming from Niki's room. Glad I'm home alone because if I wasn't, that intruder and Aris both would have been stabbed.

I slowly made my way over to Nikita's room and opened the door.

"Holy ****" I gulped. Standing right in the middle of her room was tall, dark, smoking, blueish, Enti-mon.
