When Two Skateboards Crash

"You stupid. You were supposed to act as my girlfriend slave and make Octavian feel what my sister felt. B*tch. You weren't supposed to go into a coma."

I was almost shaking as anger filled up my body. It was as if the empty bottle was suddenly dunked into a sea, filling itself up instantly. The desire to kick the door open was filling me up, to choke the life out of him. To make him feel the same pain Arielle felt. To make him go through the same experience Arielle had to go through. He apparently had more to say as if he hadn't said enough. I controlled myself and put my ear next to the door as I heard Blake grunt.

"And you most certainly weren't supposed to make me fall in love with you."

Chapter 9

3rd POV

Octavian was enraged the 2nd day after Arielle's coma. After hearing what Blake has said, he ran away from the hospital to his house. He kept thinking and thinking about what Blake had said. He wasn't sure whether to be mad that Blake forced Arielle to become his girlfriend slave or that he likes her. Octavian was ready to let it go as he thought that it was more important to focus on Arielle for now. However, Octavian's thoughts changed as soon as he heard Blake dissing Arielle.

"I know. I bet she wasn't kidnapped, she probably offered then needed to cover her perfect reputation." Blake's snide tone remarked.

Whoever Blake was talking to, Octavian was sure to kill them together. He walked around the corner, revealing himself to Blake. Octavian didn't waste any time to grabbing Blake's shirt and pushing him against the lockers.

Kane, Kale and Derek were walking down the hall, bored out of their minds without Octavian. However, they walked down the right hall at the right time when they saw Octavian about to fight with Blake. They wasted no time flanking Octavian.

"Why did you do that to Arielle? You motherfu****"

Octavian's shouts and his swearing probably could have been heard in the whole school as he let his steam out. He couldn't be satisfied with just swearing and moved his fist back, but it was caught. Derek knew the consequences of Octavian starting another fight, therefore being the good friend he is, stopped Octavian. Octavian, getting the message, let go of Blake and walked away, not noticing the hidden pain in Blake's eyes.

A week passed rather quickly without much disturbance. The school was very quiet without Octavian and his gang, excluding Blake. During the week, Octavian passed his time mostly by sitting next to Arielle's bed, telling stories when he started to change for her. Kale, Kane and Derek also went to visit Arielle, but managed their time to not to meet Octavian, as they wanted her to wake up fast to help their breaking best friend.

The hallway was noisy and chatter filled as Octavian, Kane, Kale and Derek made their way down the hallway. People were ready to spread new rumors and start up new conversations, especially since it was the first time that they were attending school after a week.

It was a normal day for Octavian and his best friends. They were able to avoid Blake and the jocks in case Octavian would start a fight. When the school ended, without them actually attending the classes, Octavian was about to start his way to his house. His phone beeped telling him that he got a new message. He ignored it as he was driving and thought it was a message from Derek asking to go skating.

When Octavian arrived at his house, he started getting ready to lazy around and sleep. His phone bothered him again and looked at the phone screen. As he expected, it was Derek. When he was about to open the message, Derek ran into Octavian's house, looking as if he was granted a life supply of chips and motor bikes.

"Dude, what do you want?"

"Arielle, she moved!"
