The Debt

CHAPTER 7: Chris, My Hero....

~EVE~

        Char and I have become real good friends ever since I moved in here. Even almost like sisters.

         She had mentioned a few days ago about a charity and fundraiser they throw every year for Breast Cancer Awareness and asked if I could help out doing Face Painting, since I loved doing makeup and hair.

          I was real excited and told her that I of course would love to.

         So we had gone to a makeup place and I was able to get some good quality face paint.

         Today, after setting up my table, I waited for people to begin coming over.

         Char was actually my first customer and then Trey and then everyone else started coming over after them.

          It was a pretty busy day, however, I was having a lot of fun. That is until Axel came over and sat down in an empty seat. To which I was horrified when I saw him. Especially since he's drunk and we all know how he gets when he's drunk.

         "What do you want?" I asked.

         "I want you to know, that it doesn't matter if they have you as collateral damage or any of that. I will get you back, don't worry. And when I do, your punishment will be so severe, you'll be begging for my forgiveness." He says with a grin.

          "I'm never coming back to you guys. And you will never touch me again. You or Rosalie." I tell him while trying to fight back tears.

          He leans forward and a little closer towards me and then places his hand on the side of my neck and squeezes really tightly.

         "Don't ever fucking talk to me like that. We own you. And besides, you wouldn't want to break your promise to your mom, now would you?" He says.

         "Please let me go." I ask him as I feel he's about to crack my neck.

         "Fine." He says as he let's go and starts to stand up. "But this ain't over you fucking fat slut." He grins and then begins walking away.

         After he walks away, I begin looking around to make sure that nobody heard or saw any of what just happened. I then wipe a couple of tears away and pull myself together so nobody asks.

         I then continue with face painting and acting like nothing ever happened.

*****************************************

          After the fundraiser was over, which I am not sure I would've been able to make it through if it wasn't for Chris, he offered to take me out for a couple of drinks.

         He knows I'm not much of a drinker, yet, at the same time, I felt like I couldn't say no. I felt like I really needed to go out.

         So we ended up going back to the bar where we had Axel's birthday party at and Chris never knew about what happened. Plus I wasn't going to tell him cause he was only coming here for the bartender that he met that night, which while on our way to the bar, he had told me that the bartender and him have been dating ever since that night they had hooked up.

          As soon as we walked in, we walked up to the bar and there the guy was serving up drinks, doing his thing and smiled huge when he saw Chris and I walk in. Though the wink he had done also was intended for Chris and not me most likely.

          The guy's name I found out was Frank. He was a good looking guy and looked like a Ryan Reynolds sort of and they looked so cute together.

          I didn't want to be the third wheel so I decided to go and take a seat down on one of the sofas that had nobody sitting on them and while walking over towards it, some drunk bumped into me, causing me to spill my beer all over me. Which was just my luck. Plus, I bet it was the karma for the couple of times I had accidentally spilled hot coffee onto Stone.

          I made my way to the bathroom, which was more like a dirty porta-potty with solid walls and made you feel like you needed a shot.

          So after trying to wipe off what I could, I then left the bathroom and in the hallway, I heard a couple of men arguing. One of them sounded like Axel.

          I'm not sure who he was yelling at but the other guy wasn't backing down.

        So like an idiot, I thought I would try and see what they were talking about.

        I first had looked around me to make sure nobody else was around and then I stopped at the half closed door and listened some more.

        "I have been telling him that I don't have the money and don't worry. He ain't gonna find out. Even if Stone is suspicious, he still won't ever find out. Cause I'm gonna take care of him before he does find out. You just keep doing what you are doing and let me take care of him. Besides, I've got Trey also, my cousin, who is an idiot and has no clue what's going on. He'll believe anything I say and always has my back." I overheard Axel tell the guy.

         "But what about Rosalie's stepsister? Won't she get in the way?" The guy asks Axel.

        He chuckles. "Fuck no. She is too chicken shit to say or do anything. I have put too much fear into her from my threats. Trust me." Axel assures the guy.

        I decide I don't want to hear anymore. In fact, I'm not sure why, but I feel the sudden urgency to tell Stone what is going on.

        Of course, I don't know if he'll believe me but I wanna do this more for me and to make sure that Rosalie and Axel get their karma. Not saying I want them to die or anything. But I think Axel needs to be called out on his shit.

         "What the fuck are you doing here?!" Axel yells out to me.

        Shit, I hadn't realized I was still standing there.

       "I was looking for the bathroom." I lied to him.

       "Bullshit! You heard our conversation!" He yells.

       "No. I didn't.." I began before I saw him trying to grab me, I began running as fast as I could and making my way through the crowd in the bar and then as soon as I got outside, I suddenly get grabbed and pushed up hard against the wall. It was Axel. He must've gone out the back.

         "You fucking bitch!" He began to say while covering up my mouth quickly with his free hand to keep me from screaming.

         "I'm tired of you, you fucking cow!" He yells at me again.

         Then right when I think this is it, this is how I will die, as I notice him clench his fist, I suddenly see him being thrown off of me and onto the ground. It was Chris and Frank. Chris came to comfort while Frank was on top of him, punching him.

         "I am sick of your fucking bullshit Axel! You are NEVER and I mean NEVER to come to this bar again! Let alone touch Eve!" He threatens Axel.

         Which I was surprised to be honest on one hand. Though then again, Frank looked more like he could do some damage.

         The guy who I guess Axel had been talking to had helped him up and they started walking towards their cars.

         "This ain't over Bitch!" He yells back at me.

         Chris and Frank then took me back to the clubhouse.
