Play Hard

Chapter 14

Craig pov.

It was one of the best feelings ever, being able to hold Tyler's hand in front of people, letting them know that we're together now. Finally, he showed me how he felt for real and it was fantastic because I felt the same for him. I was totally lost in the moment because reality hit me and it hit me hard. Walking into class still holding Tyler's hand, people were staring, but not in a mean way, they seemed happy for us.
After school, Jonathan came over to me and asked if I wanted to hang out, just me and him and it was weird because we don't know each other that good, but I said yes anyway. I then noticed Jonathan had a smirk on his face when he looked over at Evan and Tyler, but I didn't think too much about it. "I have to go to the bathroom. See you outside the school in 10 minutes, okay?" Jonathan said, padded me on the shoulder and I nodded. "Okay, sure." I said back and he left the class. As soon as Jonathan wasn't in the class, Evan and Tyler were on me with questions. "What were you two talking about?" "Are you guys hanging out?" They asked over each other. "Easy, guys and yes he invited me over today. What's the problem with you two?" I asked with a worried tone in my voice. Evan laid his hand on my shoulder and sighed. "Just... if he says anything you find weird or... disturbing then, call after Luke right away!" Evan said and gave me a serious look, but I just nodded fast because I didn't want trouble. Evan left and Tyler stood and looked at me like at had done something wrong. "Why did you say yes to him?" Tyler said with disappointment and worry. "Why not? I like him, he's my friend and a part of the pack." I said back at Tyler and crossed my arms. Tyler can't tell me who I can hang out with just because he doesn't like a certain person. "Because he's bad news and if you ask me, he's not a part of anything!" Tyler nearly yelled and left me in the classroom.
I sighed at went outside to wait for Jonathan, but he was already there waiting with Luke. I waved and followed them down the street to their apartment. Luke opened the door and I followed Jonathan into his room, but his room was... interesting and bloody? "What's with your walls?" I asked while I looked around. He shrugged his shoulders and looked at me. "I was just bored one day." Well, that is just totally normal... "You can just sit down wherever you want." He said and went over to his stereo to put some music on. 

(Start song)

I walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge, still looking around his room and wondering why he invited me over. "I'm gonna change quickly. I've been sweating all day." He said and took his shirt off. "S... sure, g... go ahead." I stuttered out and he noticed me staring at him. I could definitely see why Evan was attracted to Jonathan and even though he had scars all over his body, he was pretty hot to look at. Craig! Stop yourself! You got Tyler! Don't think shit like that! "Like what you see?" He said while he put on a new black t-shirt on and I quickly looked away, blushing. He had a big smirk on his lips and I was kinda worried. What does he want? What is he gonna do? You can't fight him, Craig, he's too big and strong! He walked slowly over to his bed and laid down on it, putting his hands behind his head. He then rolled over and leaned on his arm. "You're probably wondering about why I invited you over." He said and his eyes suddenly glowed neon blue and I nodded. "Yeah, actually I am." I said a little scared. "Well... ah, where's my manners, first do you want anything to drink? Cause I'm gonna grab a beer." He said and stood up, still with that suspicious smirk on. "Yeah, beer is fine." I said and he left the room. I then got a text from Tyler.

TYLER: "Has he done anything to you?"
CRAIG: "No, not at all."
TYLER: "What are you guys even doing?"
CRAIG: "We're listening to music and now he's out grabbing us a beer. Normal stuff, I guess."
TYLER: "I still don't like him. Is he hitting on you?"
CRAIG: "No! well, I guess not."
TYLER: "WHAT! I'M GONNA KICK HIS LITTLE ASS!"
CRAIG: "He's not little."
TYLER: "WHAT!? What do you mean?.."
Why the fuck did I write that?!
CRAIG: "Not now, he's back. Talk to you later. ❤" 

I felt bad for not answering properly to Tyler, but he knew that I didn't mean it in a wrong way. Right? I hope so. Jonathan came in with six beers wrapped in his long and black claws. He gave me one and put the rest on his nightstand. I took a sip and immediately felt that it was strong but Jonathan laid down again on his bed and chugged a whole bottle in seconds and opened the second one. Does he want me to get drunk?
It turned into a competition of who could chug the fastest and after an hour of drinking beer after beer my knees were wobbly and I couldn't stand straight, but neither could he. We both tried to stand but fell to the floor laughing at how ridiculous we were. "I'm sweating again." He said and laughed, taking his shirt off, but this time he didn't put a new one on. He fell on his bed, breathing heavily so I laid down beside him. "I needed to get some alcohol in you." He said and chuckled lightly. "Why, though?" I said and nudged him in the side. "Well, I could sense that you're scared of me, so you know alcohol always helps with getting the nerves down." He said and rolled onto his side, giving me that same smirk that sends chills down my spine. "Okay, okay, I get that, but now my nerves are down, we're both drunk, so what do you want?" I said boldly without thinking. He crept a little closer to me and my pulse was rising. "How do you feel about me taking the position as alpha?" He asked and bit his bottom lip, but my eyes widened and I got a bad feeling about this. Now was not the time to say something wrong, I got scared again, even with the alcohol in my system. "I mean... Evan has always been the alpha and... and I got his mark." I said carefully and lifted up my shirt to point at the bite mark on my side. He then suddenly glided his long claws over my skin where the mark was. "Well, I could give you a new one." He said calmly and looked right into my eyes. I wanted to scream after Luke, but I didn't want to make Jonathan mad, so I tried to stay calm and control my fear of him. "I... I... really don't know about that." I tried to make more distance between us, but he then grabbed me with his cold hands and suddenly I was under him. He leaned down and started to lick up and down my neck. "Jon! You're not yourself! Please stop!" I said, trying to push him off, but like I said, he's stronger than me. I got the courage and yelled on top of my lungs. "LUKE!!" HELP ME!!" I began crying, I couldn't stop him without help. Tyler was right. I felt his sharp fangs running over my skin as he ripped my shirt open. He began drawing blood on my chest with his claws and I was in so much pain.
Then, there it was, the same pain I felt a couple of years ago, when Evan bit me, but this time it was much worse. His teeth sank down into my shoulder and I knew it was over. I stopped struggling because I knew he got what he wanted and I couldn't do any more to stop him. He let go of my shoulder and lifted himself up to look at me. He saw my tears and he dried them off carefully with his thumb, he still got that grin on his face, but then he said something with a voice I'll never forget.

"Two down, two to go!"
