Salem x Devland

Chapter 6

Devland's POV
I woke up and noticed I was on Ryan's couch. He was also asleep. But for some reason all the lights were off. I don't remember him doing that. I then heard banging on the window. I looked over and saw it. It was an old looking lady. Oh fuck fuck fuck. I know what that is. It was the fucking banshee. Fuck no.

That usually means that me or someone in my family will die. It just kept banging on the window. Begging me to open it. I tried to wake up Ryan but he didn't wake up. I started shaking him hard. He still didn't wake up. I started crying and I started hearing evil laughs echo through the room. I started screaming. I didn't know what to do. I mean what was I supposed to do? A black figure appeared. I didn't know what to do so I tried to fight it. I started punching and scratching it. I didn't know what to do. All of a sudden I jolted up. Wait that was a dream? I saw the scared/worried expression on Ryan and his mom's face. I saw blood on Ryan's face. Oh no.

Ryan's POV
I woke up to Devland moving a lot. I shook him slightly and tried to wake him up. I heard my mom walk in. "Mom can you come see. I need your help" I screamed. I heard her run in. "What's wrong?!?" She asked. I pointed at Devland and said "I don't know. I think he's having a nightmare or something" "ok. Did you try to wake him up?" She asked. "Yes" I said.

Out of nowhere Devland started screaming and crying. I shook him a bit but he didn't wake up. What is happening? My mum looked worried. "Honey I'm really sorry. I don't know what to do" my mum said. "Don't you deal with this all th-  OW" I screamed. Devland punched me in the arm. I heard my mum gasp and try to hold him back. But I had to make it worse by grabbing him. I kept shaking him trying to wake him up. He then scratched me. Right under my eye. I put my hand over my eye as my mum ran over to me. As I pulled my hand away I saw blood.

I looked up and Devland was awake. He looked terrified. When he looked at my face he burst into tears and ran out the house. My mum grabbed my face and examined it. "Mum please. I need to speak to Devland" I said "honey I need to fix your cut" my mum said. "Mom you can do it later. Please I need to go check on Devland" I said. She sighed and nodded. I got up and ran out the house. Where could he be? I just started running to his house. I know he probably won't be there but I guess I'll check.

Devland's POV
I ran out of Ryan's house. I can't believe I hurt him. He loves me soo much and I hurt him. What is wrong with me? I guess I'll go home. I mean if my mom beats me I deserve it for hurting my best friend. I started walking home ready to get beat. When I walked in my mom was crying. I walked in the living room and it was that guy from a few days ago. He was dead on the floor. At least I think he's dead. My mom was on the phone and she was crying. I walked over and when my mom saw me she glared and pointed to my room. I was tried to speak. But she pulled the phone away from her and said "go to your room faggot" "ok" I said and walked to my room.

It's been a few minutes and I heard my mom coming. I was prepared to get beat. My mom opened my door and said "come here" "ok" I said. I walked up and she slapped me across the face. "I told you many times to tell me when your stupid friends are coming over" she screamed at me. "What do you mean?" I asked. She slapped me again and said "I mean your stupid friend is here. Just don't bother me".

She walked out my room and about 10 seconds later Ryan burst in and hugged me. "Oh my josh. Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded. I saw blood dripping from under his eye. I started to tear up. "Devland listen it's gonna be ok. You didn't mean it" he said. I started crying. I know he said it's ok but I feel like it's not. I felt Ryan kiss me on the head and hugged me tight. "Devland it's ok. I promise" he said. I looked up at him and said "I'm really really sorry. I........" I trailed off. What I really wanted to say was 'I'm not crazy, I'm just scared of what I'll do.' I just couldn't seem to get the words out.
Ryan put his hands on my face and made me look at him. "Devland please listen to me it's ok. Can you just try to explain why you did it?" He asked. I nodded. We walked over to my bed and we both sat down.

"I was having a really bad nightmare. Do you know what a banshee is?" I asked. He shook his head. "Well it's a kind of spirit thing that usually appears outside of a house and if you see it that usually means you or someone in your family will die" I explained. He looked a bit confused but soon said "Wait but the only person in your family that you know is your mom" "Well you see when I got home my moms boyfriend or whatever he is was dead on the floor" I said. Ryan looked at me in shock. "Wait but he's not your family" he said. "Well that's the thing. I guess it just kills whoever is at least kind of your family? I don't know" I said. Ryan just hugged me. I hugged him back and laid in his lap. He started playing with my hair. That really calmed me down.

Ryan's POV
I don't know why I started playing with Devland's hair. It looked like it calmed him down though. All of a sudden his mom came in. I was honestly fed up with his mom. She looked at how we were positioned and made a weird face. Devland sat up and asked "yes?" "We need to go to the hospital. William wants to talk to you" she said. "Also Ryan you leave" she said to me. Devland sat up and asked "1: who the fuck is William? 2: why does he need me? 4-" "you're up to 3" I said. "2.4: why does Ryan have to leave?" Devland asked. His mom sighed. "You think I know?" His mom asked.

He turned around and gave me a kiss and said "I'll see you tomorrow baby". Oh my josh he kissed me. ON THE LIPS. His mom looked at us and scoffed. "I love you bi" he said winking. I soon caught on to what he was doing. Oh that little bastard. "I love you too bi baby" I said. He was just trying to piss off his mom and I was perfectly aware of it. I walked out his room and went back home. I wish I could've stayed. Now my mum will continue to freak out about my cut. So uh worship me I guess.

Devland's POV
I was putting on a shirt when my mom walked in. "How long does it take you to put on a damn shirt?" She asked. "I'm done" I said. I really wasn't ready to see this William guy. I don't even really know him. He's just some guy that wanted to fuck my mom. I walked out my room and out the house with my mom. We got in the car and I put on my earbuds. I didn't feel like hearing my mom talk. I fucking hate social interaction. We soon got to the hospital and walked in. I am NOT ready to see her stupid boyfriend. But I guess I have to. Fuck.

Wish me luck I guess.
