Salem x Devland

Chapter 2

Devland's POV
I was walking to Ryan's house when fucking Nicki came up to me. Oh my josh. "Hey Devland" She said. "Bye Nicki" I said. She sighed and asked "why are you soo rude?" "I'm not I just really hate you and I want you to get out of my life" I said. She looked at me with a weird expression. "Fine" She said and walked away. I was happy. I hate it when she bothers me. I put my earbuds in and continued walking.

I was a about 5 houses away from from Ryan's house. Then one of Ryan's friends came up to me. "Sup glitter dick" he said. I looked at him and pointed to my earbuds. I could hear him I just acted like I couldn't. I turned around to walk away when he grabbed me. "Let me go" I said. "What are you listening to?" He asked. "Why the fuck does that matter?" I asked. "You're probably listening to some sort of heavy metal shit" he said. I pulled my pocket knife out and held it up to him. I looked at him and said "let me the fuck go right now" "you have some fucking problems" he said and walked away. I ran to Ryan's house and knocked on the door rapidly. I don't know I was hyperventilating.

Ryan's POV
I heard a knock on the door and expected it to be Devland. I went to the door and opened it. Devland was breathing really fast. "Why are you breathing so fast?" I asked. "One second" he said. I went to ask him something but I saw Dan. He's one of my so called friends. I pulled Devland inside and he looked at me with a scared look. I know he hates people grabbing him but I had to hide him. I don't want Dan to hurt him. "Go into my room. You know where it is" I told him. He looked at me confused. "I saw Dan and I don't want him to hurt you also I want you to calm down a bit" I said. He nodded and went upstairs.

A few seconds later Dan knocked on the door. I opened it and he had Devland's sketch book. I knew that was his because he carved his name in the leather. Also I got him that book. Why did he have that? I know Devland didn't give it to him. He never even let me look at it. "Why do you have Devland's sketch book?" I asked. He laughed and said "he was walking this way and I took it without him noticing" "why did you take it?" I asked. "I wanna see how twisted up his mind is" he said. I jerked the book from him and closed the door. I heard him say something but I locked the door and went upstairs.

I heard Devland crying in my room. I walked in and saw him on the ground with all his books spread across the room. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. His sad expression soon changed to anger when he saw his sketch book in my hands. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE THAT?!?!" He screamed at me. "Devland listen to me. Dan took it from you when he was messing with you. I promise I didn't take it. Here" I said giving it to him. He grabbed it and instantly started flipping through the pages. "Why are you flipping through the pages?" I asked. "I need to make sure he didn't tear any out" he said. I sat by him and he just looked at me confused. I smiled at him. "Why are you sitting by me?" He asked. "I don't know" I said.

He looked back down at his sketch book. That's when I noticed a drawing. It was him. But his throat and wrists were slit. "Wait Devland stop. Why did you draw that?" I asked. He looked down and said "I don't know. My mind just tells me to draw these things. I know you think I'm crazy but seriously I'm just drawing what my mind tells me to" "are there any more of them that are like this?" I asked. He looked away and nodded. "Can I see them or do you want to keep them to yourself?" I asked. He gently placed the book in my lap. He was still looking away from me though.

I looked through the book. There were a bunch of drawings. Most of dead people or something you would see if you were a psychopath. I looked through and found a picture. It was me. But not like the other pictures of people. He drew a bunch of people in our class bleeding out or dead but he drew a portrait of me. I wasn't bleeding or dead or anything. I was normal. Devland then grabbed the book from me when he realized what page I was on. "Why am I the only normal one?" I asked. He looked down and said "because you- I just- you have really good bone structure. You know your cheek bones" he said. I smiled at him and hugged him. I knew he was lying because I have a chubby ass face.

Devland's POV
Why was he hugging me? I don't know why but I started crying. I hugged him back. I never wanted to let go of him. I hugged him tight and he rubbed my back. "It's ok Devland. I'm here for you" He said calmly. "Please don't leave" I said. Why did I say that? "I promise I won't leave you again" he said. I felt him pick me up. I looked at him and asked "what are you doing?" "I want to watch a movie with you" he said. "I can walk myself" I said. He chuckled and shook his head. "I know but you're stressed and I want to carry you" he said. Why was he suddenly being so nice to me? I nodded and he started going downstairs.

"You're so tiny" he said with a giggle. "I know I am. Is that why it's easy to carry me?" I said. He nodded. He then dropped me on the couch. I let out a small giggle. He smiled at me. "What do you want to watch?" He asked. "Can we watch Corpse Bride?" I asked. He nodded. I knew he had that movie. He's been having that movie on disk. He put it in and came sit by me. "Are you cold?" He asked. "Yea" I said. Yea I know I'm wearing a jacket and pants but I get cold really easily. He knows me. He got up and got a big blanket. I laid back but he looked at me weirdly. "Can we snuggle?" He asked. "Are you serious?" I asked. He nodded. I pulled him on the couch and snuggled up to him. He laid down with me and wrapped the blanket around us. He was playing with my hair. We got through half the movie and I fell asleep.

Ryan's POV
I felt Devland snuggle up to me. When I looked down he was asleep. Holy shit he is adorable. I pulled him closer to me. I continued watching the movie. I fell asleep after a bit too.

I woke up and I noticed the movie ended. Devland was still sleeping. I smiled. He was soo cute. Ok yea I have a crush on him but I'm pretty sure he still hates me from when I left him. That was a shitty move. I know he's been going through a hard time. It's probably been a while since he had a good nights sleep. I picked him up gently and went upstairs. I checked the time and it was only 9:34. My mom should get home soon. I heard the door open.

Speak of the devil.

I walked downstairs and saw my mom. I gave her a hug and she hugged me back. "Why are you still up?" She asked. "Oh well me and Devland were watching a movie and we fell asleep" I said. She looked at me confused and said "I thought you and Devland weren't friends anymore" "well I just felt bad because I know he's going through some hard stuff so I just wanted to help him. He's sleeping in my bed if that's ok" I said. My mom smiled. "That's fine. I'm just happy you guys are friend again" she said. "Go to sleep. Ok?" She said. "Ok" I said and went back upstairs and into my room.

I saw Devland moving around and he shot up. He was breathing fast. "Devland are you ok?" I asked. He looked at me with tears "yea I just had a nightmare" he said. I nodded and got in bed with him. He seemed a little scared. "Calm down Devland I'm not gonna hurt you I promise" I said. He nodded and laid down by me. I made sure he fell asleep before I did. 15 minutes later he fell asleep. I waited a bit and fell asleep soon after.
