Chapter 32: Girl w/ the Rose Tattoo

Faith (P.O.V.)

"Evan, we should look for Ray," I said. "Maybe he's still out there. He couldn't have gone far."

Evan nodded his head and led the way out of the club.

We got outside and started to look for Ray.

The sound of gagging from nearby helped us in finding him. 

We went to a park near the club that he was at.

Ray was bent over on a trash, throwing up everything.

Evan sighed, feeling relieved to see Ray.

We waited for him a little while. 

After he was done, he looked up at us.

"Evan!" He exclaimed. "You're still he..."

Ray's words trailed off as soon as he saw me.

"Faith, you too?" He said confusedly. "You're...You're here too...Both...Both of you are together again like always."

Evan and I exchanged looks.

"W...Why is it that you two are always together?" He asked, approaching us.

"Because you're getting drunk, drugged, doing stupid things that you're not even aware of," Evan said, sounding annoyed. "We have no choice but to team up to help you."

"Help me with what? What the hell will you help me with?"

"Ray, you're not...You're not feeling good right now." I said. "Let us help you."

"No, Faith!" Ray exclaimed. "I don't want help. I...I want to party! And I think you should also party with me!"

Evan sighed heavily.

"LET'S PARTY!" Ray yelled, grabbing the attention of the security guards in front of the club.

"Ray..." I said softly. "We need to get you home. You're not feeling good."

"I feel amazing! I have never felt so happy and free before! Let's party, Faith! Come on!"

Ray pulled my hand, startling me.

I looked at Evan, trying to pull my hand away, but he kept pulling me. 

"Ray, enough," Evan said.

"What...What do you mean by enough!?" Ray asked, letting my hand go.

"We are not here to party. We are here to take you home."

"But, I want to party! I want to party with Faith!"

"We will party as long as you want, but now Faith can not party with you."

"Why not!? Why won't she!?"

Evan rolled his eyes, feeling frustrated.

"Oh, now I get it!" Ray said as if he just realized something very important. "I get it now! It all makes sense!"

Evan and I looked at him confusedly.

"Faith can't party because you don't want it, huh?" He said. "You...You want everything to only be about you! If I want to party, then I will party! If Faith wants to party with me, then she will! Why should we always listen to your orders and do what you want!? What are you!? The king or the boss of everything!?"

"Ray, what's wrong with you?" Evan asked concernedly. "Since when do I order you around? And even if I do, it's just when we are messing around. It's nothing serious. I never meant to hurt you intentionally. Trust me, I never meant to. My anger and attitude are for other people, not you. You're my best friend. We grew up to-"
