"So what is this for exactly?" Hero asked, looking around like she was looking for somebody. "He's not here yet. We're here just for some catch up. I don't know, but this is the only place my father can't attack me."
My father wasn't the issue at this moment. I was out for blood. "Guys the hallway smells like a country club meeting. Why is everybody you know rich?"
"My father knows a lot of people." I said, watching them all nod. "Louis, you feeling any better?" He picks at his suit. "No. He's here and I'm not- you know. The strongest."
"Who's here?" He looks up at me. "Some asshole started calling him names and grabbed him." Louis looked like he was scared for his life. "Tyler. I told you not to say that."
"Who the fuck touched you?" Tyler points over to the bar. Jayden sat with his drink in hand and a smile on his face.
I just stood and waited until he saw me, watching his smile suddenly disappear.
"It doesn't matter. Seriously I'll get over it." Turning away, I watched him slowly give me his best smile. "No. I'll have it fixed, don't worry."
"We need to talk about yesterday. Why won't you take your meds?" I ignore her question, turning away and walking down to the bar.
Knowing they would follow, I waited by the end of the bar. Searching for my father and hoping he would be busy. "Hey," Louis grabs my face, turning me to face him. "Crazy eyes, what's going on?"
"Did you want a drink?" I asked. "What did you want?" He looked angry. "Why are you doing this? What happened yesterday? You're acting weird. You're- not there."
"Drink?" I ordered drinks anyway. Waiting for Ruby to distract them so that I could make my way over to Jayden. "Listen I didn't know he was your friend-"
"He's not my friend, I need to show you something." He seemed happy, like he'd just gotten away with this completely. "Oh. Nice, okay," He follows me down through to the hallway. "What was it you were showing me?"
"You know right now, your entire life is being completely consumed by this little bug. Everything you are is being eaten alive and burned. All you have is being fed to some, other person. And you are stood here, nameless and fucking pathetic."
"Excuse me?" He laughs. "Does it feel nice? Grabbing people who don't like it? Do you enjoy it? Because it seems like something you enjoy." He was quiet. "I'm confused."
His throat was closing up and my heart was racing watching the life slowly slip.
"Oh I bet. See while you were bragging to your friends about the guy you just fucking ruined, I was thinking of every possible way I could kill you without ruining my suit. Of course I found nothing. So, i fed you this little, bug. You see all my jokes coming to together now?"
"I can't- breathe. Could you call somebody." I hummed. "See I would, but I just- I'm not sure I feel comfortable touching you. See this is what happens, when you fuck around. You find out. Bye."
Letting him fall to the floor, I stood in the quiet for a moment. Staring at the voicemail, knowing I wouldn't open it but hoping I would just get over myself soon. I make my way out, fixing my eyes as best I could.
Walking back to where I was, Ruby letting out a sigh. "Anyway, I need to go find my boyfriend but I'll see you guys later. Bye Harry." She brushes her hand over my chest. "Bye Marcy."
"She's a little weird." Tyler laughs. All of them turning to face me. "Who was that absolute angel?" Hero asked. "Angel? She's fucking evil." I said. "She looks like she'd kill me and I'm sort of here for it." Ironic.
