Hate That I Love You

Chapter Eleven.

“I’m not up to anything” Joe tells Justin, a smirk across his face despite the fact Justin is obviously making it harder for him to breathe with his arm against his neck. Watching as I see the both of them argue but no fists to be thrown just yet, the others watching as they surround them both. Realising I haven’t seen Joe since the night of the party, I start to wonder why he hasn’t been around. Maybe it’s because Justin told him to stay away however I have no idea.

Looking around at the guys all of their faces concentrating on Justin and Joe, all except Derek’s. Who’s on the outside of the others, his legs standing firmly on the ground with his arms across his chest, laughing slightly, obviously amused at what’s happening around us. Feeling myself become less afraid at the fact Joe’s here, and becoming angrier I stand up, walking over to Derek and taking the gun out from its strap around my hip, still on from earlier. Placing it to Derek’s head and clicking it so it’s ready to be fired “Don’t suppose you know what’s going on, do you?” I ask Derek, as his arms fall to his side, raising his hand slowly to take the gun from his head “Oh I don’t think so bud” I say, kicking him in the back of the knees hard enough for him fall to the ground. Laying on his back with his face staring blankly at mine “Try to move and I swear to god I will blow your fucking brains out” I tell him, knowing that if this wasn’t Justin’s brother I would of done it already “You wouldn’t” Derek spits “You know what happened the last time I heard that?” I ask, shaking his head as a reply “I did this” Moving the gun, I shoot him in the shoulder just above where I last shot him. Feeling all eyes on me. Moving my face closer to Derek’s, I point the gun to where I last shot him “This was the first time you pushed me” moving the gun to where I shot up him just now “This was the second” Moving the gun once again, this time to the space in between his eyebrows “You only get three chances asshole, and this is where you next get shot. Got it?” I tell him, standing up straight I spit in his face, pushing past the others and going upstairs, hearing footsteps behind me as I walk into Justin’s room where I sit on the edge of his bed.

“I don’t blame you for what you did” Justin tells me, sitting beside me “Next time I swear Justin, I will kill him. I know he’s your brother but…” Not knowing what to say, I pause, continuing soon after “Him and Joe have something going on, I just know it” Justin not saying anything, instead staring blankly outside the window. Taking a deep breath I stand up straight, picking my bag up. Standing in front of Justin I lean down, kissing him on the forehead “I can’t be here right now, but I’ll see you soon” I tell him. Walking out of his room, and running down the stairs and leaving the house before he gets a chance to reply.

Looking around, I realise Justin bought me here, therefore I don’t have my car “fuck!” I mutter to myself, getting my phone out of my bag and ringing Jason whilst I begin to walk home. Not picking up after a few rings, I call Mark instead:

“Pia what’s up? It’s like three am” Mark mumbles down the phone. Not realising the time since I’ve been at Justin’s I look around me, with not even the streetlights to light the sidewalk.

“Can you pick me up, I don’t have my car” I tell him, feeling the cold night air breezing around me.

“Where are you?” he asks, hearing him shuffle around in the background.

“I’m at Justin’s, starting to walk home now so you should see me when you drive nearer”

“Ok, I’ll be there soon” he says, ending the phone call where the line goes dead.

Suddenly feeling less safe than before, I keep an eye out around me, making sure no one’s near me or driving past to end up kidnapping me. Crazy thoughts filling my mind, I end up praying that Joe Is still at Justin’s, remembering I don’t know what happened between either of them except them both arguing until I shot Derek. Sighing loudly a car rolls up beside me, looking at it I notice it’s Mark and let out a breath I didn’t realise I was holding in, getting inside I thank god nothing happened to me.
