Chapt. 7

Copycat tryna cop my manner

Watch your back when you can't watch

Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

Okay I don't know the lyrics so shut up.

Knock knock

"Come in." I say not bothering who it might be. Cause its most likely to be my brother.

"Hey." Said a familiar voice.

I snap my head to the door and see a hot smirking Damien in my doorway.

"H-hey." Why the frick am I even stuttering.

"So what are you doing up here? In my room?" I ask him in curiosity.

"Bored."

"Well you're definitely not going to be entertained up here." I say.

"Yeah, well, it's either this or hang out with Ashton who was basically making out with Tessa on the couch." He grimaced to which I reflected his expression.

"Ugh, remind me to get someone to clean the couch." I shuddered.

"Might as well by a new one." Damien chuckled.

"Hey, I was wondering - you never told me who you were dating."

"Oh Violet? Yeah she's amazing." He said with adoration. I'll be honest it did hurt to hear him say that. Wait, did he just say VIOLET?! No way, he knows that we hate each other.

"Violet?"

"Yeah. I was hoping you didn't mind. Do yo-"

"Of course not. It's your choice. But just be careful. She's not as she seems. She can be-" I got cut off by Damien.

"Yeah, whatever. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to judge people like that. You're not perfect either." He narrows his eyes at me.

I gulped. Hurt flashed in my eyes but I masked it with a teasing smile. He's never talked to me like this before, especially about a girl. She must be special to him.

"Jeez man. Chill. What's got your panties in a twist." I tried to calm him down, hoping this argument would stop.

"How can you judge my love life when you decided to date a dickhead like Ryan? You also knew I didn't like him. Now, what? You're still trying to get over him." He snapped.

"What the fuck Damien? Why do you have to be such a fucking bitch?" I glared at him as my eyes were tearing up and my vision started to get blurry. He knows better than to bring him up.

"Oh fuck, Ella I didn't-" I cut him off.

"If you didn't mean what you said, you wouldn't have said it in the first place, fucking asshole." I say as I walk out and leave the room then down the stairs and out of the house.

I hear Damien call my name but ignore it as the tears were rolling down my face nonstop.

I reached to a playground and sat down on a swing and cried for what seemed like hours when it was getting dark but I didn't care and thought back about my past.

Flashback

"Ryan I'm not sure about this..."

"Oh come on babe, we've been dating for almost a year."

"But I don't think I'm ready yet." I said as he trailed kisses down my neck.

He groans in response. He lifts his head up and looks me in the eye pinning me on my bed.

His eyes darkening.

"I don't care if you want to or not, cause either way I'm still gonna do it. With you." He said in a low voice.

My eyes widened in fear as he rips of my shirt-

End of flashback

I was brought out of my thoughts when my phone started ringing. Ashton

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!"

"I'm at Breanne's house. She's sending me back now. I'll be there in a few minutes." I lied.

No shit sherlock.

"You better. Or else I'll be coming there to get you myself."

I hang up. Overprotective brother. What's the worse that could happen?

I got off the swing and started walking towards my house. It was really dark and only lights from the lamp posts was able to show the pathway back home. I should hurry up before my brother goes B's house so I'll use the shortcut.

I know what you're thinking 'oh my god thats so stupid. What if there's a rapist or something?' Well I've used this short cut since I was I don't know how old I was but the main point us nothing ever happens when I do so I'll be fine.

I walk into the dark alley taking out my phone to use as a flashlight.

The alley looked terrifying and I swear I saw pair of yellow eyes lurking creepily in the corner.

Oh God, please help me leave this place without being possessed or having any scary encounter-

I shrieked as I heard a rustle behind me and began sprinting as fast as I could to the end of the alleyway.

I gasped for air as I bend over with my hands on my knees to catch my breath.

Holy cow, that was scary as hell.

I heard a honk from my side and jumped, screaming on the top of my lungs.

"What the fuck?!" I exclaimed as I saw Damien's familiar car next to me. He rolled down his windows and stuck his head out.

"Get in." He ordered.

I scoffed looking at him with disbelief. "Go fuck yourself."

I started walking down the street but Damien was following me in his car.

"Ella." He called. I ignored the doofus. "Look, Ella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said. I was just upset."

"Okay, well, now, I'm upset so let me be." I said, crossing my arms, Damien still driving slowly next to me as I started walking faster.

"Ella, please just get in the car." He pleaded.

"I doubt Violet would like it if she knew her boyfriend was giving out free rides to the girl she hates most." I rolled my eyes.

"Honestly, Damien, out of all the girls you could've went for, you decided to go for Violet. You hate her!" I exclaim in disbelief. "You literally gossiped about her with me all the time and now you're her boyfriend?! What the fuck even is that, Damien?!"

"It's complicated." He sighed.

"Whatever, just leave me alone." I say.

"Fine." He said but he was still following me.

"I said, leave me alone." I repeated.

He ignored me, rolling up his window but his car was still going at a slow pace, just behind me.

I scoff. "You are unbelievable. No, seriously - one moment, you're all rude and mean to me and the next, you're suddenly my so-called knight in shining armour?! It's completely stupid! You're stupid! Ugh! I hate you so much, I could rip your throat out."

He probably couldn't even hear what I was saying which made me so much more angry.

"You know what, Damien? You should just go on a random flight to anywhere where you aren't at least 100,000 miles within my proximity and never come back - do you hear me?! It's so exhausting to have to deal with your stubborn, annoying self everyday and ugh! You just infuriate me so much!" I say, exasperatedly.

He slowly rolled down his window which made me glare at him.

"Are you done?" He questioned.

I looked ahead of me and nodded silently.

"You wanna get in, now?"

"Whatever." I mutter as he stopped and I got in the passenger seat."
