Haunted Statues

I'm Not Broken

"He's got her!" Aether yelled over to the guys dew and I walked over.

"Thank Sata-" Swiss went to speak but stopped when he saw Dew and I holding hands walking up to the group.

"Some fucking prick tried assaulting her. She's okay though, I got to her fast enough, " Dew said with a slight smile "This one's got a mouth on her though!"

"Dewdrop!" I warned punching his shoulder. He just genuinely laughed at that.

"Are you okay Dew? Do you have a fever? You only laugh like that when one of us gets hurt or is a victim to your pranks." Mountain smirked.

"Yeah I'm good. I just didn't expect her to hit that hard." Dew said.

"Asshole." I said jokingly and punched his arm again. "Who's coming to dance?" I asked.

The boys and I danced for a few hours and I would occasionally go back to Cumulus's room to grab some drinks. After a while the music turned back to slow songs and I walked away from the dance floor.

Dew grabbed my wrist "Where do you think you are going, Princess?"

"Going off the dance floor because I have nobody to dance with." I said looking at him.

"Nobody to dance with?" Dew asked, stepping forward "Well, may I have this dance?" He finished extending his hand to me. Both of us were clearly drunk.

"You may have this dance, Dewdrop." I said, grabbing his hand as we walked to the dance floor.

Dew wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his shoulders. The two of us drunkenly stumbling around laughing as Copia actually took the stage with the orchestra to sing Life Eternal. A few people were obviously taking pictures of us capturing the rare occasion Dew was actually smiling and not ripping out someone's throat. I rested my chin on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"On nights I couldn't sleep because I was afraid of my parents finding me. I'd go find Azar and we'd dance like this in the night. I haven't felt this type of peace in a long time." I said softly in Dew's ear "I miss him everyday."

"I do too, Dove." Dew sighed out.

I had opened my eyes and saw Swiss glaring daggers from across the room. He quickly downed another drink. When he noticed me looking at him his glare got worse. Once the song was over and the music started up again I looked up at Dew.

"Hey Dew. I'll be right back okay? I'll come find you right away." I said.

"If you aren't back here in 10 minutes I'm coming to find you." Dew warned.

I nodded my head and walked towards Swiss. "Swiss!" I yelled towards him and he pretended to ignore me. "Swiss I know you can hear me."

Swiss walked out into the hallway and crossed his arms "What do you want, Dove?" He spat.

"I want to talk. Please don't be mad at me." I begged.

"Why wouldn't I be mad? I defended you from Dew, you don't talk to me for a week and then all of a sudden you are hanging all over Dew when I asked you to come tonight? I have every right to be mad." Swiss defended himself.

"Swiss, Dew first did nothing wrong during seven minutes and you know that. You were mad we actually got along. I didn't talk to you both because you childishly fought each other. Dew saved me from being assaulted tonight and has been watching over me. I've been with all the guys just because Dew asked me to dance doesn't mean shit! And you only want me to come with you to make Dew jealous! Stop acting like a damn child!" I retorted.

"You are a slut Dove. You really just get in any guy's pants that gives you attention." Swiss spat, walking away. My jaw dropped in shock that Swiss of all people said this to me.
