Numb

Chapter 7

"So, what did you put in that drink?" I said pointing to the drink in his hand.

"What?... oh this?" He said flustered. "Umm, it's just a normal drink."

"Oh really? Then you wouldn't mind if you drank it, right?" I said staring at him dead in the eyes.

"This drink is not mine," Blake replied coolly.

"Than why do you have it,"

"Somebody gave it to me to carry," He said

"Really? Then why were you pouring the drink into the cup for the person?" I said. That should be enough to get him to confess.

"...Uhh..." He said becoming flustered again.

"Why don't I try to guess?" I said.

"You asked somebody if they wanted a drink, they were a bit drunk at that time so it was easy for you to get them to say yes. Then when you were pouring the drink you added some kind of powder. Let me guess, was that powder something like spiking a drink so that you could have the girl, Lilly right? So you could have Lilly for the night," I stated. I slowly walked towards him and he walked backwards, "Am I right?" I said when he reached the wall.

"Now drink it," I said pushing the drink towards him.

"Wh-what are you going to do, if I don't?" He asked. I took out my dagger again and pointed it against his chest.

"Just drink it," I said darkly. He took the drink and slowly drank it with fear in his eyes. I moved back and when the drink finally got to him he fell to the ground. I  unlocked the door and left the room then locked the door again but with my dagger and put it away. When I turned around I saw Derek and Charles right behind me.

"What did you do to him?!" Derek asked alarmingly. Charles stared at him confusedly.

"Don't worry, I didn't do him any harm," I said and was about to go back downstairs.

"Wait!" Charles said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Thank you," He said nervously.

"Why? It's my job," I stated and started to walk away. Derek than stepped in front of me blocking me.

"What do you mean it's your job?" He said.

"Ask Charles," I said and pushed passed him. When I got downstairs I immediately sought out Lilly and their other friends. It wasn't easy because everybody was already drunk and there were many people there. Slowly but surely I found them one by one. I was going to go grab them so that we could leave but then somebody grabbed my shoulders. I quickly twisted their arms and turned around.

"What are you doing Derek?" I asked lowly.

"Can you please let go of my arm," He gritted out. I looked behind him and saw that Charles was there too.

"What do you want," I said.

"I want an explanation," He said. I looked over at the others and I was relieved that they didn't wander off to somewhere else. The girls looked like they could barely stand and the boys were flirting with other drunk girls trying to get laid. Well, I don't think they will get it, we have to leave soon.

"What do I have to explain? I was protecting them from him," looking behind Derek, I saw Charles confused face, "You can tell him what I am talking about, but do yourselves a favour and don't tell anyone else. We have to leave now, get the others." I said and went outside to the car. I watched outside the window and after about fifteen minutes they came towards the car. The girls swaying on their feet while the boys were supporting them. Huh? They don't have a care in the world if they could get drunk like that. I was almost envious of them. I went outside and opened the doors for them. I quickly went back to the driver seat and when the doors were all closed I drove away from the house. 'Conveniently', Derek chose to sit next to me. He kept glancing at me and I couldn't take it anymore because he was irritating me with his glances.

"Either talk or stop looking at me," I said watching the road. He stopped for awhile then he glanced at me again.

"Stop testing my patients," I gritted out and he stopped. After four more minutes, he started again. I swerved to the sidewalk and parked there and waited.

"Speak," I said staring at him when he didn't talk.

"How can you...," He then glanced at the rearview mirror, "how can you do that to someone like that?" He asked. I looked up at the rearview mirror to and saw that Shawn, Dixon and Charles are still awake and were secretly eavesdropping.

"Don't ask questions that you won't like the answers to," I said and went back to the road to go back to Charles's house.

When I finally parked I got out and waited for the rest of them to get out. I opened the door for them since the boys all had their hands full with carrying the girls.

"Where're your parents?" I asked Charles after he came from upstairs without Nat.

"They said they were coming home at midnight," He said cautiously and quickly walked back upstairs. I guess he is in shock still.

The other boys except for Derek looked at me confusedly. "Why did Charles look like he is scared of you?" Dixon asked. I shrugged and went to my room not wanting to socialize with them anymore.

I woke up to steps coming upstairs. I quickly got out of bed and slowly opened my door and peeked out. I saw that Eric and Alisa were trying and failing to be quiet going up to their rooms. They finally got there and closed the door. I checked the time and saw that it was 2 am. Six hours is enough sleep. I went back to my room and changed into some exercising clothes. I grabbed my backpack that I had bought and put some weapons in it and my phones. I crept downstairs and went outside. The sky was still pretty dark but I am used to the dark. I jogged past the places I went to so that I can familiarize myself with this place. I jogged past the park and finally came back to the house. When I finished my jog I could see the sky had lit up. I quietly crept back in and went into the kitchen. I was making breakfast for myself when I thought better of it. I ended up making everybody some breakfast and put it in the oven to keep it warm. I quickly got a piece of paper and scribbled down saying that there is breakfast in the oven. I took my serving and brought it into my room. Since everybody had a hangover, I guess they will be staying over so I chose to stay in my room.

I cleaning my weapons and making sure that they were in good condition and I heard a buzz from my phone. I opened it.

There's a fight tonight, can I meet up with you at the gym?

Yes, I will be there in 5 min. I texted back.

I got up and put back my weapons into my backpack. I took the camera out of my backpack and put it back into my ear. I put my dagger inside my shoe and I went downstairs. I saw that everybody was on the couch playing some kind of video game and that only Alise was home.

"Alisa? I am going to be gone for a while. Can you please keep me update if they are leaving so that I can find them if I come back early?" I asked

"Oh, of course! I have a question though, were you the one who made breakfast for all of us?" She asked.

"Yes," I said, slowly moving back.

"Umm, what I mean to say is thank you," She said getting the hint that I was in a hurry. I turned back around and saw Charles and Derek watching me from the couch. I ignored them and left. I quickly jogged to the gym and went in. I scanned the area and finally saw him.
