Loved by a Devil (3 page)

"On second thought, you can put it on now."

Drew smiled as he put on the black t-shirt.

We pulled in the dirt parking lot of Black Water Acres, finding a parking space near the entrance of the building. Drew turned the car off, making us sit in darkness.

"You coming, or do you want to tell me something...?" he asked.

I sighed. There were so many people here! Most from school, others...not so much.

"How long is the party?" I questioned.

"Two hours." Drew told me.

Two hours. Two hours of this. Great.

I let out another sigh.

"Moon." I said.

"Hmm?"

"Moon. My name is Moon."

"That's a beautiful name."

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"What? Moons are beautiful. Just like you." Drew said.

I could feel my face burning red.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Want me to drive you home?" he asked.

"No, you can go. Have fun. I'll stay here." I replied.

He frowned. "Okay."

The door shut behind him, and he started walking towards the entrance of the building. Then I saw a bunch of girls crowding around him. I ended up just taking out my phone and toying around with it. And out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hillary walk up to Drew, looking ecstatic that I didn't show up. I frowned. I put my phone away in my pocket, jumped out of the car and slammed the door behind me.

As soon as Hillary saw me walk up beside Drew, her smile faded.

"So, you brought...her." Hillary said to Drew.

"You didn't expect her to come?" Drew asked as he put his arm around me.

She didn't answer.

"Let's go." I said.

Hillary didn't follow us as Drew and I walked to the entrance of the building. I was kind of hoping the guy wouldn't let us through, but Drew bribed him with a couple hundred bucks. The man let us inside.

I looked around the giant room, curious.

Well, there was a small bar where people were drinking beer, and lots of people on the dance floor.

I covered my ears, blocking out the too loud music.

"Don't you like this song?" Drew nearly shouted.

"Well, it's a little loud." I shouted back.

"You don't like Eminem?" he asked as we tried to bustle through all the people on the dance floor.

"What's an M and M?" I asked Drew.

He laughed as we took a seat on a couple of the stools by the bar.

I finally understood what he meant.

"Oh! You mean like the candy?" I told him, finally understanding.

He burst out in laughter.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hillary and a couple of her friends snicker.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Eminem is a rapper." he chuckled.

"Oh." M and m? A rapper? Hmm... maybe I should start listening to 21st century music.

"M and M is a rapper?" I questioned.

"Yes." he laughed again.

"What song is this then?"

"It's Love the Way You Lie," he told me, "With Rihanna."

"What's Rihanna?"

"Singer."

"Oh."

"So M and M and Rihanna sing this together?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"You want a beer?" someone asked me.

I looked away from Drew.

Ugh.

It was Riley, one of Hillary's friends. And yes, he was another guy with silver blonde hair and green eyes that made fun of me everyday.

I frowned. "I don't drink." I replied.

"C'mon, it's good." Riley said as he put a glass of beer on the table in front of me.

"I'd rather not." I frowned.

"Have some you bit-." he raised his voice.

"She doesn't want any!" Drew shouted.

I noticed Drew was gripping the hem of Riley's shirt, threatening to punch him. The party quieted down, people staring, and just the loud music playing a song probably by that M and M guy.

Riley held his hands up in surrender. Hmm... Something was wrong, if a guy threatened to punch Riley, he would punch you right back. Only harder.

Drew threw Riley into the wall of beer behind him, making a huge mess of glass, liquid, and blood from Riley.

A crowd of cheers erupted, and everyone was giving Drew pats on the back as we walked away from the bar.

"I hated that guy! He was an ass to me for years!" someone named Anthony shouted.

"You're welcome." Drew gave him a perfect smile, showing all his teeth.

Anthony ended up fainting on the floor from the smile, since he was gay.

"You want to go?" Drew asked me.

"Leave? We were only here for-"

"Two hours." he finished for me.

"What? Really?" I asked.

"Yep. It's twelve now." he told me as we walked into the stairwell.

"But I thought the party didn't start 'till nine?" I asked suspiciously, now using my regular volume of voice.

Drew gave me a weak smile which told me he lied.

I sighed as I sat down next to him on a step.

"Now what?" I asked.

"Well, most of the kids here aren't going to school today, since they're not going to get enough hours of sleep." Drew said.

"Yeah." I agreed.

We sat there in silence for a moment, thinking.

"Tell me your name again." he said.

"Why?" I asked."

"You have a beautiful name." Drew replied.

I could feel the slight burning hot red returning to my cheeks.

"Moon." I told him.

"Moon. I love that name. It's perfect for you."

"I guess."

Drew took my hand in his, leaning towards me. I tried to swallow the giant lump in my throat as the tips of our noses were practically touching. The electricity started buzzing through my mind as our foreheads touched too. And when I looked into his creamy chocolate eyes, I saw a tiny halo of sun, and when he blinked it was gone. Then I realized he was waiting for
me
to kiss him! All I had to do was move my lips towards his and...

"DREW!"

The scream made me jump twenty feet in the air. I looked around, wondering where the voice came from.

Riley, he was at the top of the stairwell and looked bloody and panicked.

I didn't really care at the moment. I wanted to rip Riley's blonde head off. To help cool down my anger, I gripped the railing of the stairs.

Drew stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Hillary! She needs help!" Riley motioned for Drew to go down to the ladies room. He did.

Riley closed the door behind him, locking it with a wicked smile on his face. In his hands were a giant glass bottle.

"SO you like to be protected by him, huh?" Riley told me.

"Well, he's gone to help Hillary, and now you're all alone." he continued.

I gasped.

I took a step back.

He took two steps forward.

I took one more step back and ended up falling down the stairs.

"Ow." I whimpered as I coughed up some blood.

I blinked, and then Riley was right in front of me.

He whipped the hand that was holding the glass bottle back and-

Blackout.

"Ugh." I whimpered as I tried to climb up the stairs to the ladies room.

After I woke up I tried to pick all the bloody glasses out of my head, which didn't work out very good.

"Drew." I tried to yell, but came out as a broken whisper.

Instead of a response from him, I ended up puking more blood on the soaked stairs. I gripped the railing of the stairs since I had no energy left in my body, but ended up slipping on my bloody vomit and falling down to the bottom of the stairs. Again. From the firey pain that entered my body as another piece of glass punctured the back of my neck, I screamed.

I tore the piece of broken glass out from the back of my neck.

After that, I started to sob more tears of the pain that was radiating through my body. It didn't last very long 'till I threw I up more blood.

"Hey did you hear about the- What the fu-!"

"Don't curse!" Anthony slapped his friend across the face.

"Who gives a crap about that right now? We have to help her out!"

"She has a name Brendan." Anthony said grudgingly, tapping his foot.

Brendan sighed. "Fine! What's her name?"

"Moon." Anthony replied.

"Whoa! That's a cool name! Now, let's help
Moon
get up, then we drag her to the hospital!"

"There's blood all over the place!" Anthony said as he and Brendan tried to walk over to me.

"Yeah no chizz."

"What is chizz anyway?" Anthony asked as he picked me up.

"I think it's a German sausage."

I suddenly realized they were walking to the opposite exit.

"My friend. He's upstairs."I barely whispered.

"Okay..." Anthony said slowly.

As they walked up the steps, I tried hard not to puke again.

Brendan opened the door for Anthony so he could get through.

They both walked down the hallway aimlessly, looking for Drew.

"So who are we looking for again?" Anthony asked me.

Instead of reply, I threw up (again) only this time, it was all over Anthony.

Anthony yelped, Brendan laughed at him, and I screamed in pain as I landed on the granite floor.

"You idiot! You dropped Moon!" Brendan yelled, his laughter instantly dying.

"The only thing I care about is that there's blood all over my favorite pink shirt!" Anthony yelled back.

"You suck! Tell it to someone who cares!-Oh wait! No one does care!" Brendan shouted.

"Screw you! I don't even know why I hang out with you anymore!"

"Neither do I!" Brendan said as he picked me up.

After a brief moment of silence, Brendan told me, "You know, despite the fact that you're all covered in blood, you're really pretty."

Thank god I
was
covered in blood so he couldn't see me blush.

"Ugh. Puke." Anthony piped up.

"Not my fault you were born woman." Brendan replied, without taking his eyes off me.

"I'm going to the bathroom to-"

"To clean off your shirt." Brendan finished for him.

In reply, Anthony gave him stank eye.

After he left, Brendan said, "You're hurt really bad."

I whimpered and buried my face in his shirt, realizing a slight echo followed his voice, my vision was all blurry, and I was feeling woozy.

"Get away from me!" Someone from the ladies' room yelled.

"Don't deny that you love me!" Another person shouted back.

Brendan opened the door to see what all the commotion was.

It was Hillary and Drew fighting.

Drew had no shirt on, his hair was a mess, lips tender, which had some traces of lip gloss on them.

As for Hillary, her hair was wreck also, her lips tender, and her blouse was unbuttoned to show a black lacy bra.

I looked away.

"This isn't what you think." Drew said.

"This is
exactly
what you think." said Hillary.

Drew gave her a look and was about to speak again before Brendan interrupted him.

"You jackass! You left Moon in the stairwell bleeding to death while you were riding Hillary like a horse! The place is covered with blood!"

"I went to see if she," Drew gestured to Hillary, "was okay!"

"Well, then it's kind of obvious you care about her more than Moon. If Anthony and I didn't walk in the stairwell, she'd probably be dead." Brendan said.

We stood there in a moment of awkward silence before we heard a scream.

"Agh! There's a spider in the bathroom!" Anthony screamed.

In response-again- I threw up more blood, and fainted in Brendan's arms.
