The Seductress

Day 137

"Sure King Ozai was the fire lord and messed up the air nomad but everyone makes bad choices."

"He tried to kill Aang  and instead wiped out a whole nation. That is not only a screw up but a horrible thing to do within itself."

"Fine. But besides that he was a good leader and expanded his empire."

"By killing people! Octavius he burned and exiled his own son for talking out of turn and killed his wife for standing up for their son."

"Bitches got to learn." he said smoothly.

"No one deserves death. Especially not the air nomads. They were the most peaceful out of all of the four elemental nations."

Although I told Octavius I could drive myself home he insisted and ultimately drove me home. The entire ride consisted of him and I talking about... well... everything...

I liked O. He made things.. not awkward. Not only eight hours ago we had been screwing each others brains out and now were talking about Avatar. And not even the movie. The cartoon.

I never got to hear Octavius irrational reasoning for the massacre of the air nomads because walking towards us was a very angry Colton.

Where did this guy even come from? I swear he just appeared places.

"What the fuck have you been doing all night long?" He screamed, his eyes peering into my eyes.

Instead of stepping back like my every extinct told me, I stepped forward. "None of your fucking business, Colton."

"Jesse you were out all night long. And I know you weren't snagging a guy because no one around here wouldn't dare sleep with you. So what were you doing?"

What an asshole. Assuming I wouldn't get laid. Well lets prove douche bag of the year wrong.

And that is just what I was about to do when Octavius butted in.

"Dude. What is your problem?" Octavius asked him in an angry yet calm composure.

Colton looked at Octavius for the first time as if he hadn't seen him there until he opened his mouth.

"Oh you are that guy from last night, right?" he said as he put his index finger on his chin. "Thanks for giving Jesse here a ride but I got her now."

If looks could kill, Colton would be six feet under.

"Actually Jessica and I were just checking in with her parents and then leaving back to my house." Octavius said with a wink.

Thanks O but wait to make me seem like a total hoe.

I do not know if it was the wink or the statement alone but Colton eyes quickly filled with hatred and if it weren't for an oddly familiar voice screaming his name from behind, I am pretty sure I would have been a witness to a very messy fight.

The voice caught all of our attention and within the second all of our head were turned to see the culprit. And as our eyes met I felt a wave of sadness engulf me.

"Justice I am sort of in the middle of something," Colton sneered and my heart seemed hurt a little bit more.

I wasn't able to hear the rest of their conversation because Octavius picked me up bridal style and brought me to the car in a hurry. Only replying to Colton's hoots of rage with a stiff middle finger. But even though I had not heard the conversation I knew how it had went because I knew Justice and even though we were not friends now we had been friends since forever. So that is why I knew he would reply with a low chuckle and he would say some stupid but funny thing that would somehow reverse Colton's mean smile into a hearty grin. Because that is what he had done for me. Time and time again.
