Heaven or Hell (Sequel to "Love or Lust")

Chapter 2:

"God dammit!" I heard CC shout from inside the house. I groaned, cursing under my breath while rolling my eyes as I stepped up to the front door. I slid my key into the lock, turning it slowly with a soft click! and swung the door open swiftly. My eyes scanned the room, finding the entire band spread out around the television, gaming controllers in their hands. "Ha! Kill that bastard!"

"Jinxx, get your ass out of there!" Jake shouted, his eyes glued to the screen.

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" Jinxx whined, his fingers rapidly pressing the buttons.

"C'mon!" Ashley screamed, anger in his eyes. "We have to get the-"

I cleared my throat, causing everyone to stop and turn their heads to me. I gave a sarcastic smile with a wave, and they hesitantly waved back. Jinxx slowly set down his, or as I should say my, controller on the floor, followed by the rest of the band doing the same. I chuckled, "What are you doing here?"

Jake shrugged, "Well, we saw you leave the party. Since you left, no one else wanted to stay."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, their fingers anxiously waiting to press play and resume their game. I rolled my eyes, laughing to myself, and muttered. "Alright, whatever." The band soon had their eyes quickly fixed back onto the television, and I added, "Ash! I need you for a minute."

Ashley flicked his head up to meet my gaze, and a groan escaped from his lips as he stood up, tossing the controller on the couch. Ashley hopped over Jinxx and Jake who lay on the floor and made his way over to me. "Yes?" Ashley questioned, crossing his arms over his chest. I chuckled at his so called enthusiasm and motioned for him to follow me. I walked down the hall, entering my bedroom as Ashley perched himself on the edge of my bed.

"I need your advice." I said slowly.

"On what?" Ashley quizzed, arching his eyebrows in shock. I sighed, cracking my back, as I asked, "Whats a fancy place to take Madison on a date?"

Ashley's eyes went a bit wide. He knew I wasn't the type of guy who likes to go out to public places, especially because of my extreme self consciousness about myself and my "demonic" form. But ever since Harry was murdered and Madison saved me, I felt a weight lift off my shoulder and I could finally look into the mirror without the word monster running along in my head. "Well," Ashley said, interrupting my thoughts. "What food does she like?"

I thought real hard. "Sushi."

Ashley clapped his hands and snapped, pointing at me with an idea. "Take her to Fuji! It's got the best sushi ever, honestly, and they have real-"

"Ashley." I cut him off. "I've never tried sushi, so what if I don't like it? What am I supposed to order then?"

Ashley glared at me. "It's a steak house and sushi bar. The literal name is Fuji Sushi Bar And Steakhouse." He shook his head, rolling his eyes. "Gosh, idiots these days."

I scowled. "Whatever, now help me pick out an outfit for tonight." I mumbled, rummaging through my dirty closet. "Does she know about this date, Andy?" Ashley questioned behind me, standing up. I dug my hands through clothes, saying, "Yeah, it's our eight month anniversary today so I said we'd do something special. I'm picking her up later tonight."

"Ooo la la," Ashley mocked, and I tossed a pair of dirty socks at his face. He yelled, falling off of the bed as he swatted at the socks, making me chuckle. I looked further into the closet and smiled as I found one of my favorite tuxedos. I snagged it off the hanger and turned, facing an angry looking Ashley. "Not cool."

I smiled. "How about this?"

Ashley huffed and opened his hands. I laid the tuxedo gently in his hands and he pulled it closer to him, inspecting not every angle. I folded my arms, looking curiously as he looked at every single detail of the suit. It was a nice suit; a nice tealish blue color that brought out my eyes when wearing it. It was perfectly ironed, no wrinkles at all, and went with a black undershirt with an iron bull on the collar. "I like it."

"Really?" I asked, and he nodded. "Alright, thanks man!" I snagged the suit from his hands and motioned for him to scoot out. Ashley chuckled, shaking his head as he walked out and closed the door. I threw my Misfts shirt over my head, tossing it to the side and dropping my skinny jeans. I slid myself into the pants and poked my head through the black undershirt, pulling it down nice and evenly. I took the suit and slid my arms through, making sure it was nice and tight to my body. I properly adjusted the bull collar and looked in the mirror, making sure everything was perfect. I gave myself a smile; it's a new me finally.

"Andy!" Ashley called, "Hurry up!"

"Coming!" I shouted back, grabbing my phone and wallet as I slid both in my back pocket. I took one last glance at the mirror before heading out my bedroom door. I walked down the hall and entered the living room now full of gasps. I smiled as everyone's eyes went wide and their jaws dropped. "What?"

"Damn Andy," Jake said, "new you?"

I nodded. "Alright, you guys can stay here as long as you like. Just don't screw up the place okay?" They nodded and I walked to the front door. "Alright, I'll be back around-"

I cut myself off as I opened the door, revealing my beautiful girlfriend standing on my front door step. She glanced up at me, a blush creeping along her pale cheeks. Her brown hair lay still on her shoulders, the curls bouncing if she made any movement. I looked down, noticing the beautiful black lace dress she wore that fit perfectly to her body, and her eyes shined through the dark eye makeup.

"Hi," Madison said shyly.

"You're gorgeous." I whispered, losing her forehead softly. She smiled, giggling a bit as she whispered, "You're looking very handsome today."

I smiled. "I was going to pick you-"

"I know," Madison cut in, "I wanted to this time since you drive me everywhere you know."

I nodded, wrapping my arms around her tightly as I shut the front door. I walked her down to her car, and spun her around, bringing her in for a kiss. She kissed back, her lips begging for more as my hands reached silently in her back pocket. Her hands ruffled my hair and I pulled away, smiling. "Alright enough, let's go."

Madison smiled and reached back, but found only her phone in her pocket. Confused, she glanced at me and I smirked, dangling her keys in the air. She opened her mouth wide, "How!"

"I'm a smart angel." I replied, and opens her door. She sighed in defeat and got in the passenger seat, and I slid myself in the driver's seat. I turned the car on and she immediately snagged a CD from the glove compartment. She fumbled with the case and shoved it in the player. I arched an eyebrow and she smirked, and I soon smiled as I heard Heart Of Fire blast through her speakers. I leaned in, kissing her cheek, and drove off to our date.
