Masked Love

Maybe life isn't like a dream? No right now its more like a nightmare.

“I don’t want to wake her up you do it.” I heard Scott’s voice say he sounded like he was far away “I don’t think that’s a smart idea dude.” I heard Ryan’s voice as well “Come on dude you have a girl sleeping on your shoulder you gotta wake her up.” Scott said “How about shut up.” I groaned “Come on sky you need to wake up.” I heard Ryan say “I don’t wanna mom I’m 22.” I groaned “Your 23.” Jund remarked “I’m 23?!” I shot up almost falling from the stool I sat on Ryan grabbed my waist keeping me steady. “Yeah your birthday was yesterday.” Scott said “Which is why you have a hangover.” He tilted his head “I don’t get hangovers.” I rubbed my eyes I froze and looked at Ryan “What?” he asked I looked down at his arms which held on to me and he quickly let go. “Hey honey don’t you lie to me I know this is your lullaby! I’m calling you as you sleep I’m telling you what it’s like to be, to be in love with you!” I sweet melody filled the silence and I blushed red the guys looked around trying to figure out what it was. “Now baby don’t you cry, everything will be alright, because I’m here for you!” I reached over the counter and grabbed my phone as it rang I answered already knowing who was calling. “S-Sup melody?” I asked nervously “Hey love!” she chirped “Haven’t talked in quite a while I’m back home where are you?” she asked my blush slowly went away as I smiled gently “I’m over at my friend’s house.” I replied “Oh? And who is this ‘friend’?” she chuckled “Don’t do that!” I blushed again “Alright sorry who is it though?” she asked “My friend Ryan.” I said “It’s a guy!?” she shouted making me move my phone from my ear “Y-Yes.” I said slightly quiet “You know how James will act when he finds you’ve been hanging out with guys again!!” she yelled as my phone was away from my ear. “James?” Ryan and Jund both asked I raised a finger telling them to hold on “Look I need to go I’ll be home later alright?” I said “Alright I’ll be waiting with my fluffy friend Zeke.” She giggled we both said bye and hung up.

I let my head hang remembering my life fully “Who’s James?” Scott asked “My-” I mumbled “What?” they asked “My ab-” I mumbled again “What?” the asked again “My abusive boyfriend ok!?” I shouted making them looked shocked “Alright hold on you never said anything about having a boyfriend ever!” Scott said Ryan was still shocked to say anything “That’s because he doesn’t like it when I hang out with my guy friends he’s seen my face however but always says to put my mask on in public and if I’m at my house and he comes over he tells me to wear it. I’m scared to leave him though.” I said “Why does he have pictures of your face?” Scott asked I shook my head “No he doesn’t any pictures of my face is either when I’m little or with my mask. I’m scared because I can’t say it face to face that would make my beatings worse, if I try over any kind of website or phone he’ll just hunt me down and beat me.” I said still looking down “Sky.” Was all Jund could say “I have no way out I’ve been happy this week because I told him only about Marzia not Pewds so I was happy to not see him for the short time and he went to visit his parents on my birthday so I was perfectly good there, but he gets back today I don’t want to see him but I have to.” I said a tear falling down my cheek. I felt warm arms around me and I was pulled to a chest it was Ryan he finally moved from his state of shock. “I’m not sure what I can do but just remember I’m always here to help.” He said “Yeah me too if he ever gets you just come over here at least one of us will be here.” Jund smiled “Thank you” I smiled happily but my phone started to ring again I hated hearing this little song he put it on my phone “You boyfriends calling better pick up he’s waiting!” my phone yelled “Come on he wants to hear your lovely voice better pick it up quickly!” it said I sighed and got out of Ryan’s warm hug and picked it up “Hi James.” I said he was the only one I never said sup to he hated when I said it because when he fisted met the four sup guys because all they said was sup he grew a hatred for the word. “Hey babe I heard Melody was back in town maybe we can take her for breakfast then me and you can go back to my place.” I heard his annoying player voice say “Yeah I guess.” I said with no emotion “You’re not home are you?” he asked anger growing in his voice I gulped starting to shake as my tail curled around my leg and my ears fell flat. “N-No.” I said “First of all your missing a word there say it again!” he growled “S-Sorry sir, what I-I meant to say was no sir.” I stuttered “Good and second of all where the he’ll are you! You better not be at a guy’s house!” he barked at me I had to lie or else my beating will be worse but if he finds out I was lying the beating will be even more worse. “N-No sir I’m at my friend Minx’s house.” I lied to him “You know I don’t know your stupid friends.” He said “S-Sorry Minx is a girl.” I said “Good get your ass home, I’ll be there to pick you both up at 9.” He said and hung up I shakily set my phone down my bangs covering my eyes. “I-I’m dead.” I muttered.

I explained to the two what the call was about then quickly changed back to my dress. Thanked them for what they did for me and drove back home, when I got home I showered and changed to (http://www.polyvore.com/masked_love_breakfast_with_rocker/set?id=126566453 ) then explained to melody that James was coming over to take us to breakfast and I most likely won’t return home knowing James. I put on my black lace collar the one James likes and tied my mask melody didn’t like me wearing it but also hated James. I slipped on a beanie hiding my ears I didn’t take any pocket watches or rings or any jewelry but the collar because whenever I did I would lose it or he would break it. I waited anxious to get back in a bed I spaced in and out imagining my beatings or what he wants tonight. When all of a sudden I remembered how awesome cry was last night he didn’t take advantage of both of us being drunk, we only kissed once I think and his bed was so warm. Even in my own bed it was freezing my temperature is usually low so the cold doesn’t bother me I actually love the cold, but for the first time I liked the warmth Ryan gave off. I wish I never woke up this morning it was like a dream to me. Before I knew it my face stung on my right cheek and I came back to my haunting reality. “Skylar you runt let’s go!” I heard James growl I stood up and glanced at him from my bangs he was a hybrid as well but not a wolf. Oddly enough wolfs are sort of rare, the most common hybrid is of course the cat. His hybrid is however not a house cat but a puma, hope has black hair so it easily hides his ears and his tail he hides in his pants but because I have spy’s around town knows what he does with his tail. He will use it to keep girls in place for me however he uses it to seduce me and hold my tail in place or up. I followed him out the door with melody behind me as well, of course he wouldn’t let me take my car so it will be harder to get away. We went to Ihop to which I only got a coffee, however melody got pancakes, and James got eggs and bacon. Maybe life isn’t like a dream? No right now its more like a nightmare.
