My Deal With The Devil's Son

Chapter 5

Paula took me home from school, inviting herself in, I was glad of the company though. The apartment felt lonely without my grandmother, even though she wasn't completely there. But she was family and now I had no-one.

I was reluctant to tell her about mine and Daniel's deal. I was afraid she would say it was disgusting and cheap, which it was but I didn't need to hear that from my best friend too. I needed help and he was the only one who could give it to me, he was the only person I could bargain with.

"So, tell me what's going on with Daniel."

"Well...err...I...err..." I couldn't put together one simple sentence. My brain just wasn't functioning properly. I didn't want to repeat anything involving our deal and I didn't want to remind myself in the process.

"Spit it out already," Paula huffed impatient and bored. That was one of the things I loved about Paula, her boldness and her strong personality. She said and done as she pleased. I guess I kinda done that too, but Paula had a way with getting people to do exactly as she wished and I wasn't as head strong as her.

I took a deep breath and began to explain the rather long story about Daniel and I. When I was done she gasped and pulled me into a tight embrace. The look on her face was pure hatred and I too felt that for Daniel, I had to be careful who I let see that however.

"That asshole! I told you to come live with me. It's no problem hon."

"Like I said Paula, I can't add the extra pressure on your mom."

I would never forgive myself if I burdened Paula's mom with me too. She was a single mom and was really struggling financially, I just couldn't do that to her. Paula recognised the finality of my decision and didn't press it anymore. We could read each other like a book but what best friends can't?

"Just wait till Kyle and Scottie find out. Once they're done with him he'll be begging at their feet for mercy."

"No! Paula, you can't tell anyone!" I pleaded.

"Damn it Louisa I'm not going to let him take advantage of you! What kind of best friend would I be if I let you do that," I could tell she was getting agitated now. I felt like a child being reprimanded by their mother but I had to stand my ground.

"Right now, a good one. I'll be homeless if I don't do this." My voice was barely a whisper.

"Come live with me." I glared when she suggested that. She held her hands up in surrender.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone." I launched myself at her and hugged her.

"I swear Louisa, if he lays a hand on you without your consent, I'll personally rip his head off, got that." Her eyes were menacing and I could tell she meant business.

"Yeah. I love you so much."

"Love you too sis." Paula whispered.

"It's a shame. I would have loved to have seen his face when Kyle and Scottie got tore into him," Paula laughed.

I chuckled too. "Me too."

We watched movies and caught up on some homework before something dawned on me.

"Hey, you know I don't like him, right? I just don't have any other choice." I really didn't want her getting the wrong idea and start inviting him out with us or anything.

"I know. He's sick! And an asshole! I swear one hand!"

"Yeah I got you."

The buzzer rang then and I had a sickly feeling in my stomach as I had an idea of who was waiting to be let in. I gave a worried glance in Paula's direction and I knew she was already anticipating his arrival.

I picked up the receiver and my heart sunk as my suspicions were confirmed. I pressed the enter button and Paula got her things together. She gave me a hug before going to the door.

"Just say the word."

I nodded as she walked out the door, giving Daniel her death glare as she passed him.

The door shut with a gentle click and it seemed to echo around the whole room.

"Alright darling, now I got you all to myself," Daniel said rubbing his hands together.

The look of disgust I had on my face and the power he had over me to let him do this to me seemed to amuse him.

He sat on the sofa, patting the space beside him for me to sit. I did as he wished but put as much space between us as possible. He scooted over and slung an arm around my shoulders. He ran his other hand down my thigh making my whole body stiffen. I bit my lip to stop my tears urging to break free.

He lifted his hand from my leg, much to my relief but instead held my chin firmly between his thumb and forefinger and kissed me roughly.

His hot and sticky breath made me sick. As his tongue wrestled with mine, his hands explored me. I tried to numb my body from his touches, but he was strong and rough. It wasn't a touch I was accustomed to so therefore I couldn't ignore it.

I prayed that he wouldn't try and take things any further. I wasn't ready for that and I certainly wasn't ready for Daniel Collins to take away my innocence.

My prayers were answered as his cell rang just as he started to tug on my jeans. He answered the call, a little breathless and a little pissed.

Once he was done he turned to me and grabbed his jacket.

"We can continue this tomorrow, darling." He gave me a knowing smirk and wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. I wanted to slap him silly but contained myself.

When he was gone, I climbed into bed and let the tears I has been holding in, fall freely. I hated Daniel. He repulsed me. He was going to take away an experience that I was supposed to share with the man I loved. Not the boy who was permitting me to live in his dad's apartment!

I cried myself to sleep, dreading the upcoming day because I would see him again. Daniel was enough to turn a good day bad, a happy face sour. I hated him! I hated him!
