Who am I - Chapter 6

My first goal was to get everyone out of the house, but that didn’t happen because Ben was on a rampage.

I walked towards Erica, and I said her name repeatedly, once she looked up it was too late, Ben was already in front of the guy that Erica was making out with. Since Ben was packed with muscle, the guy from the couch had no chance. He tried to run away, but Ben had a hold of his t-shirt. Erica’s eyes widened, she screamed at Ben to stop but he ignored her, he took his fist of anger and slammed it into the guys face. He fell sideways on the floor, clutching on to his throbbing face.

“Ben, you need to go.” I told him as I stepped towards him, Erica ran to the guy who was on the floor, examined his face carefully. I put my hands on Ben’s chest, feeling his heart going one hundred miles an hour, I felt the heat coming off of him. I pushed him a few feet, but he planted his feet firmly on the ground not wanting to move.

Erica rose from where she was, tears and mascara running down her face, she was screaming and yelling at Ben, I steeped out of the way not wanting to be between them. By this time, everyone was around watching, everyone was taping or taking photos of this whole situation.

“You have to do something.” Kate whispered in my ear. I nodded silently, I knew she was right, but I stared at the situation around me blankly. “Come on Ashley!” I heard Kate say, trying to be louder than Erica and Ben.

“You never loved me Ben!” Erica screamed, “ You thought I was your dog! I always got bossed around, I always had something to do when I was with you !”

Ben’s face filled with more anger, I stepped behind Erica, grabbing her wrist. “Erica lets go.” I told her, she nodded her head in protest, refusing to give up. I sighed. “ Lets go before this turns into something you regret.” I pulled on Erica’s wrist again, she moved but not by that much. I used some of my strength to pull her, this time she gave in, she burst into tears. I put one arms around her, I looked for an escape but I just saw faces.

I saw the stairs from the corner of my eye, but a flood of people was crowded around it. I pushed threw people, not saying excuse me, I just pushed threw them. We got up the stairs to find even more people around.

“Get out of my bathroom!” I screamed at these people making out, they looked at me shocked, and left hand in hand. “Sit on the toilet.” I told Erica, she put the top down, and put her head in her hands. I took a face cloth from the storage under the sink, I put warm water on the towel, I went on my knees and wiped away Erica’s make-up. “You need to lift your head.” Erica did so, she kept her eyes closed. “Why did you do this?” I asked her quietly. She opened her mouth but closed it quickly. “I don’t know how we are going to get these people out of here.”

“Neither do I.” She whispered.

I sighed, I took the towel and threw it in the far corner. “You might want to change.” I told her, Erica nodded and left the bathroom. I stood up straight and left the bathroom, I was going to go down the stairs but when I passed by my room, I saw people lying on my bed. I did a double take and opened my door wide.

“What the hell?” I said as a random couple were making out on my bed. They quickly looked at me, scrambled off each other and off my bed, they left quickly, feeling embarrassed. I went in my room, stripped off my sheets and pillow case’s, threw them in a ball on the floor. I took my door handle and twisted it , so when I closed my door it would lock.

I shut my door quickly, checking on Erica. She was in her room yelling at a random girl.

“I said leave!” Erica said as she pushed her out of the room.
