unbound Princeton love story

chapter 8

::Princeton P.O.V.::

Ray Ray:Damn,is she a f*cking vampire?!You look like you have a throat disease

-I was assessing the damage that YN had done last night.My neck was splotched with purple and.Red bruises & teeth marks

Roc:Hey at least it's not as bad as the last two times

-I glared at them both

Prodigy:Ya'll shut up!At least he got a damn girl tho

-Roc jumped in to defend himself

Roc:Aye I got tons of girls.And I aint hatein on him I'm just saying,he gonna be wearing turtles necks forever if she keeps this up

-Prod ignored him and turned to me

Prod:Have you figured out what you're gonna do about that Damien kid

Prince:Every time I try tellin YN about him she just seduces me so I can't even argue.It's like she knows exactly what he's doing,but don't want to listen

Roc:Maybe you should talk to those other crazy art people and ask them to talk to him

Prince:They're not crazy...they're...different

-He raised his hands in defense

Roc:If you want us to set him straight for you that's always another option

-I rolled my eyes

Prince:I'll go talk to them

***

-Instead of going straight to the Outcasts I decided to go see if YN's roommates were home.I knew she had late classes today so I only hoped they weren't at work.It was only a few seconds after I rang the doorbell that Ciara answered the door.She pulled me into a hug

Ciara:PRINCETON!!Hey,YN's not here right now

Prince:Ik I came to see you

-Her eyes got big

Ciara:Oh no I am NOT cheating with my best friend's boyfriend!I mean ik I'm totally attractive but-

-I cut her off

Prince:Not like THAT!I need you to tell me about this Damien guy

-She relaxed

Ciara:Oh...well why didnt you say so?Had me all scared- come in child

-She opened the door and I took off my shoes then sat on the couch.She perched herself on the coffee table across from me

Ciara:Damien was here long before you.Long before me even.He and YNN just have this connection.I think YN feels like...she owes him somehow because he took her in when she couldn't live with he parents anymore- I don't know.

-I listened intently

"YN has had a proper amount of boyfriends...I mean a lot of them were really great guys.But like you,the one thing getting in their way was him.Those two spend way too much time together and I always knew that he had a thing for her,but YN doesn't like to listen to me.I know it's tough,but that boy is staying put.

Prince:What can I do.I've tried confronting her about it but she just turns it into this

-I pointed at my neck

Ciara:You can't fall for her games you just gotta be the one to grow some balls and tell her that you aren't sharing her with Damien

-I looked down

"And if it makes you feel any better.I think if anyone can change things,it's you.Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,nothing is going to get better.It's not(-Dr. Suess. hehehe the Lorax was BOMB!)

-She smiled softly at me

Prince:Thanks

Ciara:She should be home soon.You want some back up?

-I shook my head and stood

Prince:Nah I'm good.Maybe I'll catch her tomorrow

-She went up to the door and let me out

Ciara:K hun,good luck.

-She closed the door and I was about to head back to my car when I saw the devil himself.He was carrying a bundle of roses in one hand.We both stopped dead in our tracks looking at each other.Who was this guy to be bringing MY girlfriend flowers?He needed to hop off.I don't know what would make things any more obvious

Damien:Man wtf are you doing here?

Princeton:Visting MY girlfriend.But she aint home. TF are you doing here.

Damien:Visting the beautiful girl that I'm taking from you

Princeton:You need some God damn help.She's happy with me alright, a REAL man would respect that

-He came close to my face

Damien:I'm done playing games with all of her ridiculous boyfriends.You know who she comes crying to after break ups?Me.You know who she cuddles up to after bad dreams?Me.You know who took her into their life and gave her everything,just to sit there and watch her hand it out to every f*cking guy that comes by?That's me too

-I stepped back

Prince:I'm not trying to kick you out of her life,you just gotta understand that-

-He cut me off

Damien:That what?You're another guy that gets every ounce of her love and when I come around I'm just the "best friend"

-He made quotation marks in the air with his fingers around the words"best friend"

Damien:I can only handle the best friend zone for so long

-I could understand where he was coming from,but this was one of those things he was just going to have to let go

Prince:If she really wanted to love you, she would have done it by now.Now Imma ask you one more time.Stay.Away.From.My.Girlfriend.

-His mouth formed into a straight line.He looked me up and down

Damien:Nah man,you wanna play,fine.Let's go through this all over again.But when I'm done you won't matter.In the very end-

-He shrugged

"She won't love you"
