Jam's Fallen Angel

Chapter 5

The car soon honked at us and pulled up beside us while the driver yelled at us to pull over. Hawk refused and rolled up his window. I started laughing but Jeremiah was worried, "I think we should pull over and apologize." I glanced at the car and Hawk and leaned forward.

"Step on it." The car jolted as we went faster but we still couldn't lose the other car, eventually having them by our side again. The car then swerved towards us and hit our car causing me to hit Lex and Jeremiah to hit me.

Lex yelled worried about the paint, making me raise my eyebrow at his priorities. They did it once more before Hawk stepped on the brakes and we saw the car stop in front of ours. The driver of the car, who was a disgustingly greasy disco guy, pulled Hawk out of the car and used his face and hair to wipe the pizza off the windshield.

The pizza I had eaten almost came back up at the sight but I stopped myself. I then noticed one of the girls inside kept telling him to stop as we decided to get out of the car too. We stayed still as the guy talked to Hawk simply because of the guy's friend who stared us down like he was daring us to do something like a psychopath.

"There! Nice and clean." Disco guy said. He smiled and began walking towards his creepy friend but stopped once the KISS tape inserted itself into the radio and began playing, "Oh, no, no, no! It's the fag band!" He said walking to the car but Jeremiah grabbed his arm.

"Whoa! This is about pizza! Let's leave KISS out of it. Please."Jam pleaded as the guy looked at him, "A bunch of guys who make bad music, dress like freaks, and wear more make-up than all my sisters combined? These assholes must be stopped!" I scoffed and he glared at me but Jeremiah stepped in front of me so the guy pushed him back towards me.

I grabbed him and pulled him close to me putting my hand in his hoping to calm him down. The Stella in his car slammed his door shut announcing that she was leaving, her friend trailed after her trying to stop her but I was too busy calming my heartbeat from having Jeremiah hold my hand to see if she left.

I looked up seeing the guy tossed the tape which was then crushed by a semi. I felt Jeremiah squeeze my hand from his anger. I pushed myself closer to him in an attempt to calm him down. The girl was now speed-walking away down the highway as the disco guys dismissed her. Asshole.

The guy reached Hawk who was now on his feet. "Have you learned your lesson yet, puke ?" Hawk lit his cigarette walking towards us, "If the lesson was that you are a dick with ears and a really bad haircut, then, yes... I'd say I learned it." The guy looked like his eyes would pop out of his head.

I let go of Jeremiah to stand beside him and Hawk, I have to hold his hand more often. Sure enough, the bimbo got close and attempted to punch Hawk but I grabbed his fist bringing it down and kicking him in the balls.

He crouched down in pain so I kneed him in the nose, knocking him out. His friend stared in disbelief. Lex then took off his spikey Kiss belt followed by Trip taking out his wallet with a chain. Jeremiah took his drumsticks from his socks, twirling them. At once we all attacked him and it ended with both boys passing out.

I walked to their car to look for what I needed. "Hey, that ain't your car. Get away from there." The girl said with straight panic laced in her voice. She tried walking to me to which I looked at her dead in the eyes. She stopped walking and backed away. I gave a smile as I reached inside and found what I was looking for, I took out the makeup bag I knew the girl had in the car and painted a star on the right eye of one passed-out boy like Starchild and the other one like The Demon.

The guys tied them up while I tied up the girl to give her some sense of calmness, "I'm sorry but next time choose a better boyfriend." I whispered to which she looked up with a pissed-off face that softened once she realized I did a simple and loose knot on her so she would get out once we left. I would never willingly put a girl in danger by tying her in the middle of the highway with strangers passing by.

The girl pretends to struggle to try to get out but I know the threats she said to the boys were real. Hawk put a big rock on the pedal and put the car on drive making the car drive into a pond and submerging it completely.

We then sped down the highway to get to the concert, Trip then begins to roll a joint until Jeremiah pointed something out, "Hey, it's that girl." My eyes find the girl walking by the side of the highway. I felt something I never really had. Oh god, I'm jealous.

Without thinking I leaned my head towards Lex and rolled my eyes. It took him by surprise but he understood the sudden mood change. He gave me a small smile, "Jealousy doesn't look good on you babe." He whispered.

"Ha ha"I returned a sad smile instead. Trip answered, "That's no girl that's a Stella." Lex looks at me once more before putting his input as well, "What is with you Jam? You got a thing for that... thing!?" Jeremiah justified himself by saying, "She's a teenage girl walking on the side of the highway. They make very scary movies that start out like that." Lex stuck his tongue out like he was blowing a raspberry. Why is he so considerate? Stupid boys. But he was right, I could only wonder how scary it is to walk somewhere alone and sketchy.

"They make porno that start like that too." Was all I heard before I realized she was in my seat while I sat down on Jeremiah's lap. Once they had pulled up next to her she made notice that there wasn't enough room.

Lex hurriedly suggested I sit on Jeremiah's lap. I didn't want to seem like a chicken or make him feel bad so I agreed to move on his lap and I felt his arms snake around my waist to put me in a more comfortable place for the both of us which was me sitting sideways facing Lex.

She looked at me, gave me a smile and I smiled back knowing she no intention of getting with either of these guys. She looked at Lex who was staring at her putting on lipstick. "Oh great, I hitched a ride with a bunch of potheads." She said before giving me a look which indicated she didn't mean me.

I nodded and laughed quietly signaling it was okay. "I'm hooking up with some people at this funky place in downtown Detroit called Disco Inferno. Mind dropping me off there?" She asked. Trip smirked asking, "What's it worth it to you?" I rolled my eyes at the perverted boy.

I felt warmth near my chest. Jeremiah laid his head on me while the rest argued about something with the girl who later said is named Christine. "Hey, Jeremiah are you okay?" I unconsciously played with his hair since my arm was around his neck. "Oh, yea just tired and a little scared. My mom is strict and I don't wanna get sent away to another boarding school even if it's just for two years." He responded with a sad face.

"Listen, I know how it is and you don't have to worry. Like you said after two years it will be over and I'll be there if you want me to with the guys, of course, to bust you out again." I smiled at him. He wrapped his arms around me hugging me and I hugged him back. I then heard Trip talk. "Whoa Jam just got a face full of boob! Aphrodite I want a hug too." We all yelled at him to shut up. He had passed his blunt to Christine and then to us.

Jeremiah took a hit then put it in front of my face without thinking I leaned forward taking a hit from the joint between his fingers. He had a pink blush dusted over his cheeks. He took another hit passing it to someone else. Seeing him blow out the smoke made me think of him shotgunning me. I pulled him closer but looked somewhere else so it didn't seem like it was on purpose. The fact that Jeremiah was the first person to hold a joint for me to smoke made me blush.

Christine ended up falling asleep on Lex while Trip stared out the window and Hawk was occupied with driving. I shivered which then made Jeremiah pull me against him tightly. I layed my head on his shoulder. But I soon felt something poke me. I realized what it was, having seen a blush spread across his face. He tried putting his hand over it but with the confidence from the weed, i dropped my hand and blocked his. I moved my hand around which earned a small breathy moan from Jeremiah yet he continued to act like it was nothing.

Since we were blocked by everyone's view I decided to tease him. I wiggled my butt like i was trying to get closer and his hands squeezed my thighs. I stuck out my tongue licking the bottom of his neck to his ear. He finally turned his head to look at me. I feigned innocence and played with his hair. "You really are something." He said chuckling a little.

I would lie if I said it didn't give me butterflies. I kissed his cheek smiling, "Only for you." I turned my head to leave him with that thought. As much as I'd like to do more with him, I didn't know if he liked me like that and if I was ready for it. I closed my eyes feeling content in his arms, I didn't realize I had taken a nap until I woke to Jeremiah shaking me awake.
