Love, Blood, and Death

Chapter Two

Oliver's POV

     "Hello Oliver, it's been a long time." My friend turned to enemy, Kellin Pellow, stood in front of me in my living room.

     "What are you doing here?" I said through gritted teeth as anger overwhelmed me.

     "Oh come on Oliver, didn't you miss your old pal?"

     "Did you miss where I told you if I ever saw you again, I'd kill you?" My fists clenched, all I wanted to do was beat him bloody. He hurt my family. I've made it my mission to make him pay for his mistakes.

     In the blink of an eye, he had me by the throat against the wall. My hands swatted at his, trying to get some form of oxygen.

     "Don't forget, friend, I'm stronger. I'm always stronger." He spat as he threw me to the ground.

     "What do you want? Why are you here?" I tried to calm myself as I slowly made my way back onto my feet.

     "Well, this was my home too. I missed the scenery, and the food." He smirked before giving me a wink. "Also... I've noticed a real pretty girl... Juliette I think her name was?"

     A growl escaped my throat as I lunged myself forward and pinned him to the ground.

     "You stay the hell away from her! Do you hear me?" I yelled.

     "Uh oh, does she already have you wrapped around her finger? Come on Oliver, you know anytime you're around her, your hunger goes crazy."

     "You're wrong."

     "Don't lie to me, I can smell her from far away and she already smells so sweet. I can only imagine how she smells close up."

     I lifted him up before slamming him back down.

     "Shut up! I'm not gonna hurt her, and you're not going to either. I swear to god if you even look at her, I will kill you." I lowered my eyes at him before getting off of him. He stood up and wiped himself off.

     "We'll see."

     And in an instant, he was gone, leaving me alone in my living room.

Juliette's POV

     It had been a couple of days since the party, and I have been itching to talk to Oliver again. I rolled out of bed and quickly threw on my clothes and make up, trying to hurry for school. Before walking out, my mom came in.

     "What are you doing here?" Disgust rested on my face.

     "Hey honey, I'm sorry I was gone for so long, but I see you've managed!" She said with the brightest smile, ignoring the circumstances.

     "Yeah mom, I've managed. After you left me to fend for myself for three months!" Anger seeped out of my pores. 

     "I know you're angry baby, but mama just needed a break."

     "How do you think I feel? The only thing I appreciate is that bills were on auto-pay." I rolled my eyes at the woman before pushing past her and leaving the house for school.

     After a few miles of walking, I finally reached Red Ridge High. In other words, hell. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone bump into me. Luckily, it was Oliver.

     "Hey! I've been wanting to talk to you!" 

     His eyes looked sad as he continued to walk past me.
