The Devils Angel

9th Chapter:The Darkness In Us

'Dont assume.. don't expect.. it will hurt you more.'

'Do you want some cookies?' I asked joy as we sat down. It's lunch time and we were the first to arrive at the table. Keith is a senior like Topher and they both share most of the classes together.

Joy didnt have to be told twice as she shoved one whole cookie in her mouth and smiled sheepishly. 'I love everything you make..' she explains. I laughed a bit at that.

In the little time I got to hang out with them. I understood how they loved each other that they cant let both their parents push then apart.. it's actually very romantic.

'What's taking those two so long?' Joy asks as she ate another cookie I baked last night. The cafeteria door then opened harshly as a student came running inside. Panting then..

'Fist fight! In the parking lot now!'

Everyone scrambled out.. while me and joy froze. We looked at each other.. No.. it cant be! We both ran towards the parking lot. Students were circling and cheering. I took joy's hand and we slipped ourselves in the crowd till we got in the front.

Joy sucked her breath as the scene unfold us. Keith was having a brawl with one of the seniors. To be specific... it's the school's most popular jock. The captain of the football team. Relief came over me, I thought is was topher. But where is he?

Joy run towards Keith who was now having a bloody nose. Evan is known to have the meanest punch in the school. But Keith had hit Evan too because the latter was bloody too.

I tried to stop joy as she placed herself in front of the two which was a very bad idea because Evan shoved her away. She fell to the ground.
"Joy!" I gasped and ran towards her. Helping her up. She was now crying.

'We have to stop them Ella.. we have to!' Joy begged. I can't helped but nod even though this was a very bad idea. Joy wrapped her arms around Keith while I held into Evan's arms to stop him from swinging another punch to Keith.

'Let me go bitch!' He hissed as he wiggled his arms free from my hold and then pushed me. I fell to the ground badly. I cried as I felt pain in my left wrist. It's sprained I think.

Then out of nowhere I saw Topher, or not. Because the cold fire in his eyes were so visible.. anyone who dared see him eye to eye will see their end. He was mad.. no. He was furious. His eyes landed on me and the cold furry only worsened. It's the same eyes I saw that night.

No.. no... no!

I started to panick as he threw a punch to Evan. Making the guy kiss the ground with the force of the punch. I think I even heard some bones cracking. Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Keith and joy.  He then pulled Evan only to hit him so hard in the stomach that the jock spit out blood from the impact.

Without knowing, I staggered up. He's gonna kill him if I dont snap him out of it. I can't loose him. I can't loose him! The whole football team were now all over him but he just simply punched them away of shove them out of the way.

He wanted to kill him. He wanted blood and he will have it if I dont stop him now. Without thinking further.. I ran up to him and placed my arms around him. He froze.

'Stop! Please stop! I dont want to loose you Topher. Please...' I cried at his back. His breath was harsh and fast, but he stopped.
