Salem x Devland

Chaper 11

Richie's POV
As my mom was fussing at me about attacking my brother I saw Xavier run out the house. I ran after him because he looked sad. And I'm a very caring person too. I got outside and he was freaking out. "Xavier what's wrong?" I asked. He turned to me with tears in his eyes and said "I'm sorry" "what do you mean?" I asked. He was breathing really fast and was crying. I thought something bad was gonna happen. I walked up to him and hugged him. "It's ok. Just calm down" I said. I felt him nod and his breathing started to slow down a bit. We sat there for a bit in silence until he finally calmed down.

Salem's POV
I was still shocked about what's happening. Xavier was hyperventilating or having a panic attack. Probably both. But I saw Richie run outside so he'll probably calm him down. Richie is a nice person. I'm just scared for both of them. They soon came back in and they were holding hands. It was soo cute. Ray looked at me and he was confused. "Salem I need to talk to you. I already told this to Richie and I need to tell you" Richie's mom said. "Oh. Alright" I said and got off the couch.

I went into the kitchen and she said "ok so I know this might be awkward but I didn't want you and Richie to stay in the same room together. And it's not because of your whole suspension thing Richie told me the story. I just don't want you guys to stay up all night" "oh do I need to go home?" I asked. "No. Just I would appreciate it if you slept with Ray or Ronnie. Not Rachel" she said. I chuckled and said "I'm not really into girls. Like I don't mind dating them I just rather boys" "oh well if you do go in her room stay apart just incase" she said. I nodded and walked off.

I walked back into the living room to find Ray sniffing his jacket. Ok weirdo. "Uuuhhh...... sup Ray Day" I said. He pulled the sleeve away from his nose and said "Uh hey" "is there cocain in that?" I asked jokingly. "No" he said quietly looking away from me. "Hey I won't tell anyone if you do" I said once again jokingly. But I don't think Ray took it as a joke. He just looked at me with the 'what the fuck' look.

I sighed and sat down by him. He scooted over a little bit and just sat there. "Sooo...... your mom doesn't want me to sleep in Richie's room so is it ok if I sleep in your room? It's ok if you say no I can try to sleep with Ronnie" I said awkwardly. He looked at me sadly and said "Um I want to say no but I don't want to be rude" "oh no it's fine I promise. I kind of felt weird sleeping with a middle schooler anyways" I said. He smiled and got up. "I'm going to my room. I'll talk to you later" he said getting up. He walked off and I just sat there.

Richie came up a few minutes later. He was holding Xavier's hand. Aww. They sat down by me and Richie whispered "did my mom talk to you?" "Yea" I said. "For some reason she said you can't sleep in my room but Xavier can. He offered to go home but my mom didn't want him to. She kept saying how people are crazy these days and might hurt him. My mom is soo caring" Richie said. At this point he had his arm around Xavier. They're moving very fast but its soo cute. "Yea I think it's because she knows we're gonna stay up all night. I'm probably gonna have to sleep with Ronnie" I said. Richie just said "I feel bad for you. He never shuts up" "I think I can manage it. If it's too much I'll just sneak into your room" I said. Richie smiled and looked over at Rachel. She's still just on her phone. How is she so calm after what just happened?

Time skip to night time~

I was in Ronnie's room because I couldn't sleep in Richie's room. And I didn't want to sleep with a middle schooler. I don't know I feel like that's weird. It kind of makes me feel like... a pedophile. Also Ray isn't a person that likes to talk. I think he just talks to the people he wants to. I've tried to talk to him after the whole catastrophe but it was no use. "Dude I'm going to sleep" I heard Ronnie say. "Alright cool" I said. I heard him turn around and after about 10 minutes he was knocked out. I stayed on my phone for a bit and got bored. I was about to go to sleep when I heard the door open. I looked up and Ray was there.

"Hi Ray. Are you ok?" I asked. "Oh sorry I was gonna see if Ronnie was awake. Can you give him this when he wakes up? Or maybe just put it on his bed for me?" He asked. I nodded and he gave me a jacket and I threw it on Ronnie's bed. Ray walked out and I laid back down. I soon drifted off to sleep.

Time skip to morning~

I woke up and looked up and Ronnie was about to fall out of bed. I was about to try to push him back in bed but he fell off his bed and on top of me. "Fuck" he screamed. "Sorry dude I move a lot in my sleep" he said rather quickly. "It's fine. I'm fine. This is fine" I said cracking my back. We both got up and I went downstairs while Ronnie got ready for school. I wasn't gonna stay in there. Nasty.

Richie and Xavier were at the table talking and Rachel was doing her own thing. Ray came down the stairs with that same jacket he had on yesterday. Well it could just be his favorite jacket I mean I have a favorite jacket. It's a studded leather jacket with a red pentagram on the back. Also there's blood dripping from the pentagram. I went into the kitchen and I saw Mrs. Davis cooking. So I decided that I'll tell her that I'll walk home. "Uh Mrs. Davis I'm gonna walk home if that's ok" I said. She looked at me and said "oh well I was gonna cook you breakfast and bring you home after I bring the kids to school" "well that works to I guess" I said with a smile.

After breakfast Xavier went home and we drove to the school. I just kind of sat there when Mrs. Davis was bringing me home. The only time I said something was when I told her my address. Although she did turn on some music. It was Jump by Van Halen. Yea Richie has a cool mom. But no one will ever compare to my mom. She's my hero.

I got home and my mom was there. She's probably off of work. "Hey mom" I said. She came up to me and hugged me. I hugged her back but I was confused. "Salem your sister is pregnant. So I'm gonna be home for a while" she said. She sounded very disappointed. "Oh ok. Well I love you. I'm gonna go in my room" I said. I was going upstairs and Nikki was in the hallway. She was on the phone with someone saying that she didn't want her kid and that she wanted to get an abortion and shit like that.

Ok that pissed me off.

She hung up and looked at me. "What?" She asked. "I heard everything. I hope you know how stupid you are. It's your fault you're pregnant. You were just being a slut you should keep the kid" I said. She just scoffed and said "I don't even want it. I tried to abort it but mom said no" "you know mom is very much against that and I am to. And again it's your fault for getting pregnant so if you don't want it then I guess have the kid then I'll take care of it" I said angrily. I then walked off. I fucking hate her soo fucking much.

I went to my room after the whole fight with Nikki. I mean what I said about taking care of the kid. I didn't mean it but I also did. Yes I would take care of the kid I just don't know why I said it. It was just one of those things that came out. You know what I don't have the time to deal with this. I barely got any sleep last night so I'm gonna take a nap.
