The water was a bit nippy, but the deeper into the pool I went the less embarrassed I felt. There's an odd comfort at the bottom of a pool. The water was soothing and very clear. I could hear low murmurs and voices but I couldn't make out any actual words. I was running out of air so I rose up out of the water and took a breath. I was about to go back under when out of the corner of my eye, I seen Isaac and Caleb fighting. I screamed as loud as I could, but not a sound came out. My feet were rooted to the bottom of the pool as I forced to watch this awful thing. Then, out of no where john breaks them apart, and smacks Caleb. I could finally move and I got out of the pool as fast as I could. I walked over to Isaac and wiped the blood from his lip. I turned with my anger visible, and glared directly into Caleb's eyes. I seen the guilt flood in and he whispered "I'm so sorry" low enough so only I could hear. I turned and kissed Isaac one last time so I could taste the refreshing strawberry whiskey, which was tainted with blood. I walked back into the house, and started crying. Caleb was the first one to find me, as always. "I'm so fucking sorry. I don't know what made me do it. All I could see was a wall of red and then next thing I know, I'm looking into your eyes. I don't even know what set me off." He attempted to blow his nose, causing a large wince of pain to escape from his mouth. I chuckled lightly and said "I hope Isaac fucking broke it. You need to get yourself under control Caleb. I'm tired of cleaning up your messes. Next time you call me, I'll personally give Isaac permission to beat your ass. What the fuck is wrong with you! I was underwater for like 15 seconds and you already were attacking him! Caleb Adam I'm done!" I have no idea where my sudden burst of anger came from, but it was powerful enough to make me smack him. He was already crying because of what I said, and then when my hand made contact with his face, he hit the floor. I felt bad, but I was also pissed. I understand what he meant about the red wall. It was blocking my thoughts and I only had wrought control left to leave the room and go back outside to watch them light the fire. Isaac immediately ran up to me and ask if I was okay. I brushed my thumb across his lip and giggled "look who's asking. I should be asking if you're okay not vise-versa. I was only underwater for like 15 seconds and you were already trying to rip each other's throats out." He shrugged his shoulders and hugged me. I heard the back door open and I turned my head so fast my neck popped. A very sluggish Caleb with bloodshot eyes stumbled out the door and into the garage. Isaac glanced at me and mumbled "what did you say to him?" I looked into his gorgeous eyes and my mind drawled a blank. I couldn't look away and I was completely lost. I couldn't lie to him, I have to tell him..... This sucks. "Isaac..I didn't...he said...I don't think....he was just.. I don't...no I just...I didn't...I'm sorry." I sighed and kissed isaac's forehead before getting up to go inside and get me a cup of cherry vodka sour. I walked into the kitchen and poured my drink before walking up to the bedroom where Caleb laid in the floor minutes ago. I looked up, and my cup slid out of my fingers and shattered against the floor. John looked up and his eyes widened in surprise as he slid his hand out of Lexi's bikini top and rolling her off of her. She gasped for air and john already had his hand wrapped around my throat holding me against the wall. "I swear to fucking god Destani I will slit your fucking throat if you tell anyone about my little game." Lexi rose up off the mattress, and grabbed a lamp. Before I knew it he let go of my throat and the lamp was shattered against his head. "Lexi, holy shit. I thought you were in the garage! Are you okay?" Se wiped the tears from her eyes, and then answered me "I'm fine, but I can't say the same for him. The weirdo pulled me in here when I came in for a drink and tried to rape me basically. What the fuck is up with the pig nose thing?" I had no self control left. I screamed, and time froze. I couldn't handle this anymore. I dragged his limp body down the hall, and locked him in his bedroom. I coughed, and time slowly readjusted. I yelled for Lexi, and we went outside to find Mia.
