The Angels Pitchfork

Chapter 16: whisked away to beauty and then pain

" time to go" Parker tightens her bright yellow draw string. It was 6:00 am and it was dark. parker and I rustled through the eerie hallway and down the stairs to meet Connor and Justin in the hallway . I rethought about going, and wanted to run upstairs and throw myself on the bed, but i knew that was going to happen at the lodge too, except it might be Justin throwing me on the bed. it was inevitable, I could ignore him for the whole trip and maybe a slim chance of not kissing him was there, but i cant just ignore.

" Hello, my sweet" connor brushes his justin bieber hair to the side when he walks up to Parker. " Hello my swe-" I stop justin from copying Connor, because unlike parker i do not have the same reaction.

When we got to the car Parker and Connor got the back seats, which meant I was stuck with Justin in the front.

parker and Connor were passed out on eachothers shoulders. Justin hadnt said one thing to me. " If this you way of 'winning me over' as you so call it, it's not working" I laughed. " Im not ignoring you" Justin admitted, " Im just keeping my eyes on the road, like a good driver" Justin said sarcastically. " So, why did you hate me in the first place" Justin asked. ' well.." i start, " you left, and people started to fil my ears with awful, awful things about you and i just started to beleive it. I know its a dumb reason. also, your an ass". his eyes buldged, " do you even know the whole stories". " I know that you used to harm your mother, push her down the stairs..." I stopped. I knew I went to far. this was a touchy subject, and i didnt know what to except.

" Did you know my mom was an alcohalic. Did you know that half the time you saw Mrs.Wellington she was proabaly on crack. do you know how that feels? Well thank god Will never went through that because like a good brother i protected him" Justin started to get red. The car sped up. " It was the worst chapter in my life. Mom would throw glasses of alcohol at me and i would push her down the stairs, because i was five, what else could i have done. Mom would come home late one night and get a belt from my drawer and bring it to Wills room, he would always be asleep. i stood in front of the door to protect him, so she would beat me instead."

Justin had to pause to catch his breath. I was tearing up too. " you dont have too" I said. " you dont have to tell the rest". "Im sorry i got emotional" Justin cleared his throat, " so before you hate me, think about all the other ways it could be played out". " Im sorry" i felt like a terrible person. " I am really, truly sorry". " i know " he says softly.

All this time, i had been hating him for the person he was 10 years ago, and now he wasn't even a bad person at all. " But your still an ass today" i tried to brighten the mood. He laughed a little bit, just a smidge, but enough to calm him. his hand was on shifts and i put my hand on top of it and locked it. he looked at me and i looked back. I didnt need any words to say what was on my eyes. when he looked into my grey, big eyes he saw a small word.. "us"

"Toot toot" Justin pretended to be a train, " we have arrived at our destination". I stretch as I get out of his car. I admire the mountainous view and the gorgeous house. It was modern, with matte stone and lots of glass. "It's beautiful" I stated. We stared in awe. "How do your parents let you come here?" I asked. " I took the keys and never returned them" Justin shook the keys in his hand. Trying to ignore my their of a friend(or more than friend) I got my bag and walked into the house. It was open, with a black kitchen and a rustic themed living room. "Three rooms people, choose choose" Justin clapped his hands. " me and Parker want that one" I ran over to the room up the stairs to the right. Justin, shook, chose the one next to ours. That left Connor the bedroom in the other side of the upstairs area. " Don't worry, we will be changing rooms after a couple drinks" Connor winks at Parker. "Wow, how close could you get on one night" I asked Parker. " He just came up to me and we started talking, he's super quirky when you get to know him, he's not always a jock" Parker made her way down the stairs to the kitchen. Justin went the basement to the cellar. He brought up 3 bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon and placed them in the coffee table. I decided to help Parker with dinner because it was either that or helping Justin.

After an amazing chicken and asparagus dinner, I went outside to the patio to enjoy the sunset. I was working on a little homework when I notice Justin staring at me from the screen door. It slides smoothly as he quickly makes his way towards me. " Parker and Connor have gone for a hike"Justin said. "Thanks for bringing me out here, I think I need it" I put my homework down. Suddenly my head starts to churn and my stomach explodes. I try to not scream
In pain as I grip my stomach. My head kept pushing upwards like a human swimming up for air.
"Ahh" I cried. Justin rocked me in his arms and shushed me. "Make it stop make it stop" I grunted. Justin was confused, and ran to get Advil. "Your ok" he rocked me after he fed me the Advil. I struggled to open my phone to call Parker and noticed my home screen, me and will, at a vineyard before we went to Rubitha. The pain went away and I layed back in my chair. I took another and stared at Justin. "That wasn't regular" I told him. "T" Justin said. I nod my head.little did I know that it was just the start.
