Blue Sunsets and Whiskey. - J.Birch

Hatef--k.

I wake up, I'm laying in bed yet I can't remember anything after we were smoking. I look over and Judd's still beside me, He's passed out. He looks so peaceful. I slowly crawl out of the blankets, smiling as I look at him, I see my pack of smokes on the table so I pick them up to go outside. I didn't want to wake him with my smoke. 

I step outside and it's cold, I shiver a little as I throw my sweater over my shoulders, It was offically one week from Halloween and I wasn't even going to be home for it. I light my smoke before exhaling it, it was such a calm feeling. I feel my pockets before realising I left my phone in the room. Along with the keys. It was one of those doors that locks as soon as you shut it. 

My mouth drops open as I realised what I had done. I was stuck outside until Judd woke up. 

I roll my eyes as I take another hit of my smoke, I blew it out towards the floor as I look around, I didn't know what to do until he woke up. I look to my left as I see someone walking up. 

It was a taller man, he had red hair, blue eyes, white skin, he looked about my age, maybe a bit older. As he walked past I smiled at him, he stopped walking as I did. Confusing me a little. "Hey, my names Nathan." He put out his hand for me to shake it and I did. 

"Molly." I said. He sat down beside me. "Why are you sitting out here?" 

"My friend is sleeping in the room, I forgot my keys and my phone in the room so I'm stuck out here until he wakes up." I laugh as I speak and he laughs back.

"That's a situation you got yourself in huh?" He says, playfully pushing me as he does. I laugh back, smiling. Maybe sitting out here wouldn't suck?

"How old are you?" I ask him as I look up at him.

"18, how old are you?" He asks back. "17." I smile at him.

"Hmm, why are you here in the middle of the week?" He asks me.

"Ran away, I didn't even plan it, my friend just asked me and so we did it." 

"Are you sure he's just a friend?" He says, in a bit of a jealous tone, I get confused. I had just met him, why was he mad my friend was a guy? 

"Yeah I think so. I mean I don't think I like him like tha-" I get cut off by the feeling of his cold hands on my wrists. 

"Hey!" I scream, he removes one of his hands as he covers my mouth. What the fuck. 

"Shut up slut." He says, I scream into his hand as he grabs my hair and pulls me to my feet. He starts dragging me away from the room, I'm trying to get his hands off of me. My muffled screaming into his hand, I couldn't breathe. I was so overwhelmed. I felt myself blacking out for a minute. 

I regained consciousness a few moments later, Nathan's still holding onto my hair, his hand still over my mouth. I'm basically being dragged on the ground. He's putting his key into the lock of the room. I'm too tired to even scream anymore. I just let it all happen. He drags me into his room. Throwing me onto the floor. 

"Get the fuck off of me!!" I scream, he's trying to pin me down, I keep kicking his legs. Hitting the back of his knees, shins, hitting his ankles. I keep pushing my hands away, not letting them touch the wall because the second they do it's over for me. 

"Stop trying!" He screams back, spitting in my face. "Get off me!!!" 

I hear someone start banging on the door. "Fuck off!" Nathan screams at the door. I feel a tear fall down my cheek, I'm too stunned to speak, someone is now kicking the door. I can see it shaking, I gave up my strength, my arms hitting the cold wall. He laughs as they do. 

As he does I see the door swing open. Judd Birch. There he was again. "Get the fuck away from her." Judd looks like he's about to murder him, he drops me back to the ground. My legs couldn't even support me anymore, I felt the tears just streaming down my face. If he hadn't shown up.. If he hadn't gotten through that door.. If he gave up on me. I don't even want to imagine it. I get so lost in my thoughts that when I look up Judd has the guy pinned to a wall with a knife to his throat. 

"Don't ever fucking touch her again got it bitch!?" Judd screams at him. 

I stand up, holding the wall as I do. My legs hurt from when he dragged me. I had scrapes and cuts on them. My elbows hurt too. I walk over to Judd, placing my hand on his shoulder for support as I whisper to him, "Can we just leave please. I don't want to be near him." He puts his hand down as I finish talking, taking a step closer to the guy. 

"Be glad she wants to leave pussy boy." He leans into Nathan's face and spits. The same thing he had done to me. 

Judd stands back up and puts his hand around my waist, walking me back to the room, before unlocking the door and sitting me down on the bed. Judd just stands in front of me. Not speaking, not moving, just staring at me. 

"Did he touch you??" He finally says. "No."

"Did he hurt you??" "No."

"Did he-" He pauses for a second as he looks at me. 

"I think he was trying to." I say. His eyes fill with sorrow for a second before they snap back to anger, he's pushing his hair back as he looks at the ceiling. He starts pacing around the room. "I'm gonna fucking kill that guy!!" He screams. "No you're not Judd." 

"He almost hurt you Molly!" 

I feel my eyes swell up again with tears. He walks over to me, sitting down beside me. "I'm sorry I wasn't there before it happened." He puts his arm around me, holding me closer to him. I didn't even know he knew those words. "It's not your fault Judd." 

He lifts up my chin to look up at him, my face goes hot as he does. "Calm down faggot, I'm just checking to make sure you're okay." He says, he starts checking my neck, making sure there's no marks or bruises. 

"Can we go home in like, 2 days instead? I'll get a refund for the extra days you paid." I say, he smiles and nods at me. I still wanted to stay out with him but I really needed to go home. 

"Do you want breakfast?" He asks, standing up and throwing on his black jeans and tshirt. "Waffles pleaseeeeee!" I smile at him as I ask. 

"Okay, and if you're going to smoke when I'm not with you, do it in here faggot." He walks out of the room, carrying the keys, his phone, and his wallet. 

I stand up off the bed, walking to the bathroom. I check my makeup, it's so smugged and runny so I grab the face cloth from yesterday and wipe my face again. I walk back to my bag, grabbing my makeup and my clothes before walking into the bathroom and getting ready. When I finally leave Judd's already back in the room, he's sitting on the bed watching the weather as he eats. I was guessing he didn't know what else to watch. 

I sit back down beside him, grabbing my food before I start eating. He hands me his phone, spotify's open on it so I'm expecting he wants me to pick the song. 

I scroll through one of his playlists before settling on the song 'Hatef--k' by The Bravery. I don't hear it playing when I press it until I look at Judd. He has his headphones in. I roll my eyes before sitting back and watching the tv. I take another bite before I grab a joint from off the table, lighting it as I do. 

I hold it out towards Judd and He takes it. He takes a few hits before handing it back, I smile and rest my head on his shoulder. Did I like him? No. I just liked being friends with him..

Right..?
