t w e n t y - o n e ✺ something

Rease

"My god, what have I done?" I cry as we get to Taylor's that night.

"You didn't do anything." Taylor mumbled. "If anything, he started it."

"Chris wouldn't have done this. Chris, he-"

"Would you just shut up?"  Taylor  slammed his fist on the counter.

My eyes widen.

"Oh, my God. No, babe, I'm so sorry."

"It's fine." No, it wasn't ....

"Reasie?"

"I'm going to bed. I'm tired. And confused."

"Alright. Good night."

"Night."

the next morning

"Rease, you're here." Riley swiveled in her chair. "Finally."

"I'm sorry-hey, hey, don't cry." I run over to a sobbing Riley.

"B-B-Ben b-b-broke up with m-me last n-n-night!" She laid her head down. "I-I didn't do anything! That was n-nine months of absolutely-"

The door opens, and we both jumped.

Kiefer stood in the doorway with a look of concern.

"Riles, what happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it." She shook her head and got up. She put a hand to her temple, and crumbled to the floor.

"WHOA!" Kiefer rushed to her side. "Rease, get some water!"

I give Kiefer the bottle of water I had in my hand. "I haven't opened this yet."

"Good." He took off the sweatshirt he had and poured water on the sleeve.

"Kief, what the hell?"

"I'm secretly MacGyver." He winked and put the sleeve over Riley's forehead. "Now, why is she so stressed?"

"Her boyfriend broke up with her."

Those six words were the trigger. Kiefer looked up with dark eyes.

"That fucking prick."

"Kiefer-"

He stood up and started for the door.

"Kiefer?" Riley mumbled. She was trying to sit up. "Where are you going?"

"To beat up that shithead that messed with you." He slammed the door.

"Rease, can you make sure he doesn't beat anyone up?" Riley slowly slid back to her chair.

"Will you be okay?" I gave her a serious look.

"Yeah. Now about Kief, I'm not too sure."

"All right."

in the car

"I hate him so much." Kiefer grumbled. "I knew he'd break her heart like that. He's always done that."

"What?" I look at him.

Kiefer stopped and sighed. "I liked this girl."

"This girl?"

"Yeah, in high school. Her name was Calliope. Odd name, right? I really loved her. A lot. And I was scared to tell her that. She was adorable and innocent."

"Alright."

"And the night that I was going to ask her out, I learned she was with Ben. It tore me apart."

We continue to walk.

"So the night of graduation, as he went to receive his diploma, Ben announced to everyone that he didn't like Calliope, or Callie, anymore. Everyone was shocked, she left crying, and-"

"And what, Kiefer?"

"I followed her. We talked. And we kissed. As soon as that ended, she was gone. Three years later and I haven't seen her since."

"That's why you hate him so much."

Kiefer nodded. "I miss her."

----

We soon found ourselves standing in front of the concession stand Ben worked at.

"You wanna do this?" I look at Kiefer as Ben walked towards us.

"More than anything." Kiefer smirked.

"Well, well, well." Ben slightly laughed. "Look who we have here. We got Newbie and my favorite person in the whole wide world. How ya doing, pussycat?"

Kiefer cleared his throat. "If anyone's the pussy, it's you, bro. You can't be fucking around with other girls. I know you did it to Callie, and now, Riley. Boy, you really got in too-"

Bash

Ben delivered a fist to Kiefer's face.

"Shut up. I had to."

"You don't have to!" Kiefer yelled, "you want to! And you did! I hope you're happy, you damn bastard." He then wiped the blood pouring off his nose on his sleeve and shook his head.

"Rease, let's go."

Later

"Kenny, calm down." I tried to comfort my boyfriend.

From there, a glass vase spiraled towards me, and shattered at my feet.

I looked down.

"Brissa, I-"

Shaking my head, I run out to see Antoine.

"Bris, you're coming with me."

"Excuse me?" I run to catch up with him.

"That kid is going to hurt you in more ways than none of you don't let him go now."

"He gets like that sometimes, today wasn't a good day for him-"

"Brissa, those are what we call excuses." Antoine spun around. "You have to listen to me. It's going to get worse. And something huge is going to happen and he's gonna be gone."

I felt tears running down my face as I read what I had wrote.

And somewhat, I felt that something was about to go wrong in my life.

a.n.

well, I'm back (again). So as an apology for leaving again, here's a new chapter.

So, in the wake of this chapter, the next chapter is going to be jam-packed. Get your seatbelts ready.

(I feel like I'm rushing the story a little bit. If it feels that way to you guys, I'm really sorry. And please, please let me know.)

ANYWAY. HOPE YOU ENJOY.
