Love's Redemption & Vengeful Deaths

Chapter 2

6.00pm

Ramone's POV

Finally, after a long drive from my house, I reached, hopefully, my final destination. My hands were sweaty from all the driving. They felt sticky and gooey at the same time. Beads of sweat rolled down from my forehead and made pitter-patter sounds on my steering wheel.

Damn you, you stupid, useless and pathetic air conditioner!!!

I glared at the A/C before slamming my fist into it. It felt a hundred times better doing that than leaving it alone without getting punished. Then, as I caught sight of the fashionable house tucked away at the end of the street, I went back into my thoughts.

God, it feels like a hundred degrees in here!!! Damn it, damn it all. I knew I should've rejected Denise's invitation.

Speaking of which, I was late. My eyes darted to the time which was illuminated on the dashboard.

7.02pm

Who knew complaining would take 2 minutes? I took a quick glance at Denise's house. It was huge compared to mine. She had her lawn mowed, bushes trimmed perfectly at all angles, trees grew of the same height, and the view was indescribable. Even in the dark, I could see each and every detail of her house clearly. My house was nothing compared to this majestic building. It was hard getting myself to move my legs out of this car. Part of me wanted to go in there, but another part of me did not want to cooperate. Alas, I sighed heavily.

Please don't let me crumble, please don't......

I prayed before stepping out of the car. Soon, I found myself standing in front of Denise's door. Lifting my hands, I knocked on the door.

Brace yourself. It wasn't that long since you saw h-

Before I could finish my sentence, the door opened and Denis screamed my name on the top of her lungs.

"RAMONE!!!!!!"

And she hugged me.

Desmond's POV

It was deafeningly loud. I was standing behind Denise, looking at the boy she was hugging. Denise had asked me to have dinner. Having one last look at Anna, her motionless body lying on the bed, her swollen lips which made me crave for more, I left her reluctantly. My eyes widened in shock when I saw Ramone.

Is this for real?

The last time I saw him was about five years ago. He still looks the same to me, just a little bit more dashing, his body tanned, muscular arms. He and his charms, it never got old. Somehow, he never had any relationships before. But I never asked him about his relationships. I knew it was private and if he wanted me to know, he would tell me.

"'Sup Bro, how are you?" I asked him. Denise hadn't finished squeezing the life out of him yet. I smirked childishly at them.

"Uhm, fine. Oomph......" He stated as Denise gave him a final squeeze. Then, she let go and hopped non-stop beside him, clapping her hands like a baby. I laughed at her for doing so. She had never acted so immature before.

Sure, Ramone is a good friend but there's something about him which made me want to question him more.

"You're here!!!" She squealed.

"Really? Did you notice that just now?" Ramone stated in a sarcastic tone.

Denise rolled her eyes and smacked him playfully on the arm. In response, Ramone rubbed his arm.
