About U || A Lil Peep Fanfic

*Chapter Nine*

Rest easy, Jah💔

     The auditorium was dark. The only light came from under the double doors leading out to the hallway. "Gus," I breathed. "What the hell was that?" His hands were still in mine and  I could feel his breath on my cheek... but I couldn't see his face. "Just stay in here with me. Please?" Gus's voice was soft now, a change from earlier in the classroom. "Gus, I-"

     I couldn't skip, are you kidding me? Never... have I ever skipped class. "C'mon. Don't be a lame... just once. Just today." He gave my forearms a light squeeze pulled me closer. My voice dropped to a whisper. "Fine."

     Gus and I waited for the bell to ring before we went out to the parking lot. As we made our way to the double doors, a few guys approached us. Leaning forward, a kid with a Metallica band tee whispered something in Gus's ear. He shook his head in response and waved his hands out to the side, saying no. I felt Gus wrap his arm around my shoulders and pull me into his side. "C'mon," the guy pestered. "Lemme ask. I know that ain't yours." My eyes met his but I looked away quickly. "Aye," he continued with his question, taking a step closer to me.

     Before I could listen to what he had to say, Gus pulled me outside and grabbed my hand. "Don't talk to him, 'kay?" Now I was curious. "Wait... what did he want?" He shook his head, dismissing my question. "Fine," I sassed. "No answer, no mall."

     "Don't fucking-" He paused. "I hate when you bribe me with shit, you know that?" I giggled and leaned into his shoulder. "Please just tell me. For real." Okay. Now I actually wanted to know what the hell this kid said to Gus... and why the fuck I couldn't know about it. "If it involves me, then you have to tell me. Because if you don't, I'll..." I trailed off and looked at the rows of cars ahead of us.

"You'll what," Gus challenged, walking to my parking spot. I turned around to see the group of guys still standing by the door. "I'll go back and talk to that guy." I felt his grip on my hand tighten. "The fuck you will, Girl." Alright, so this asshole gets to come to the mall with me, but I can't know what that guy wanted. Uh huh... definitely. "Gus, you're kinda being an ass and ion really like it." I used my free hand to grab the keys from my back pocket. Putting my bag in the back seat, I started the engine and put on my seatbelt.

"Gus."

"Girl."

"Gus."
