part thirty-three

The car door slammed shut as Jay stumbled out, his footsteps unsteady as he laughed menacingly as she approached. Her eyes fixated on his body language in an attempt to figure out why he was here and what he was up to. Leaning on the side of the car, he raised his chin and narrowed his eyes at her, the street lamp illuminating how his darkened eyes pierced through the space between them.

"Rob-" Bill began, taking a step forward and offering a reassuring look of concern before Jay silenced him.

"Shut up" he commanded, not diverting his gaze from Robyn as she now stood in the centre of the group. Bill looked down to the ground sheepishly, shifting his weight closer to Gustav Georg and Lena to hide himself as they all flicked their attention between Robyn and Jay. The tension grew as Jay stifled a chuckle once more.

"Well" he tutted with an unsettling shrug "What do we have here?" he taunted.

Robyn folded her arms across herself, watching as Jay widened his eyes for her to speak.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, her tone blunt and straight forward to hide the fear she felt inside over Jay's strange behaviour.

"I was going to ask you the same question" he slurred "What could you possibly be doing here with these freaks?"

"Jay, don't be cruel. Don't involve them" she defended, glancing towards the group and seeing how Lena bit down on her nails anxiously.

"How about you don't get involved with them? They don't belong here. They don't know you like we do" he snapped back, the syllable of each word edging deeper into the air.

"Jay, stop. Let's talk in private. Say what you want to say to me, not them" she reiterated, thinking of all of the things he could expose to them.

"Whats that? You don't want your new friends to hear what I have to say?" he interrogated, pushing his frame rapidly from the side of the car and storming over to her. Now towering over her face, her eyes rapidly flicked between his, seeing how the ovals of his eyes retreated into blueish-grey shadows. Remaining poised beneath him, she felt as his chest rose and fell in a slight pant as the pregnant silence grew further. Attempting a different approach, her expression softened and her eyes brows fell into a slanted, desperate expression as if to communicate please don't.

"You're here, with all my friends, at my dealer's house in my town and you have the audacity to show off how you're having some love affair with a kid you've just met?" he listed, his teeth gritted and his sharp jaw twitching as he spoke.

"Jay- Don't" she interrupted, ignoring his words despite them edging into her like blades. In an attempt to resolve the situation, she desperately lay her hand on his forearm, pulling him slightly away from the group. He didn't budge. Instead, he brushed off her arm with a harsh slap and swung on his heels slightly, slurring as he spoke once more.

"They all know how fake this is. They all know who you really are. They all know this is an act." he spoke in broken sentences to emphasise his point.

"It's not like that at all. He just- he invited us here. So we're here" she defended, her heart racing in her eardrums as she spoke. She felt as the eyes of the spectating group watched them. Her palms grew clammy.

"We? All of these fags? Where is that little shit, I swear to god I will kill him" he spoke, his eyes burning with rage as he attempted to push past her, his head rapidly darting over the exterior of the house to look inside. Using all her weight, she attempted to stop him, digging her heels into the grass as she pushed against his strong chest. Footsteps harsh, he pushed past her casually discarding her to the side as he charged past towards the house.
