Bethyl!

Beth has just got her new job as an assistant Music Teacher at a middle school in Jackson, Georgia. She couldn't wait to start her new life, and everything seemed to be going her way. That was until she got attacked on a night out, and was almost killed. But a man with an angle winged jacket saves her, and takes it on himself to teach her self-defence, not quite understanding the need he feels to protect this girl. Bethyl!

New Start:

Beth couldn't believe that it was finally happening. Her hands squeezed the steering wheel excitedly as a huge wide smile appeared on her face. She was finally leaving, for real this time. She was going to fly the nest and start a new life in Jackson. Of course, she knew that she would miss her family dearly. But it was only about an hour drive home, so she knew that the distances wouldn't be too great of deal.

She glanced in her rear view mirror and saw Maggie driving not far behind in a medium sized moving truck. Glenn had said they could use it for the day, his father run a huge moving company and said they could have it, free of charge. That was very nice him, seeing as him and Maggie and him have only been dating about 2 weeks. She noticed how happy Glenn made her sister, she could see the difference in her eyes, even though it had only been a couple of weeks. She longed for someone to make her feel that way, to change her without even realizing it. But now that her new life was right in front of her for the taking, all that romance and love stuff would have to take a back seat. First things first, concentrate on your new job and making friends.

Beth has been studying music now for the past four years in college. She also took a side lesson to learn a little but about teaching, just to get her ready. She wasn't going to be a main teacher in her new school, but an assistant. She would help the main teacher with lessons and keeping control of the kids, maybe even teaching now and again if her fellow colleague thought she was ready. But Beth didn't mind, she was just happy to have the opportunity to do what she loved. Play music, and maybe pass the love she has for it on to someone else.

After another half an hour of driving, her insides bubbling with excitement, she finally pulled up to her new place. It was a set of apartments, which didn't look to shabby from the outside. There was a park on the other side of the street, buzzing with happy children. Beth glanced around, happy with where she was, down the road she noticed a corner shop and a laundrette which would come in handy until she could afford to buy a new washing machine. Beth had come here with the most important things to her. A bed, fridge-freezer, sofa, her clothes and a little TV on a smaller stand. A few pictures of her family and some friends from college and school which she still keeps in contact with. But the main thing, was her piano. It was old, and had so many scratches on it she couldn't possibly count them all. But it was hers, as it had been since she was a child and that was why she loved it the most of all her things.

Maggie jumped out of the van and stretched her arms into the air. "You ready?" She and raised an eyebrow. Beth looked around one last time before nodding. They both moved to open the back of the van and deal with the furniture inside.

Beth was exhausted, that piano was so heavy that it took all the life out of Beth and Maggie. They sat on the sofa and breathed heavily together. They thought they could carry it on their own, but after feeling its weight they left it alone and looked around for some help. A man came out of the building and looked at them both struggling. "Need some help?" He offered and set down his briefcase. He was a well-dressed man, tall, short sleek hair and a handsome face. Beth bit her lip and tried not to stare as he rolled up his shirts sleeves to help lift the piano. Even though it was considerable lighter, it was still hard to direct and squeeze into her apartment. After what felt like a life time, they all pushed it against the wall, relieved it wasn't in their arms anymore.

"My name's Ian." The man said shaking both of their hands, but his hand lingered in Beth's a tad longer. Maggie wiggled an eye brow teasingly at Beth before moving back to grab some smaller items from the van.

"I'm Beth, just moved here from Atlanta." She said and pulled her hand back slowly.

"Atlanta, you don't say." He said and smiled, "Beautiful place." She nodded in agreement. Beth felt a surge of energy rise in my throat as she took him in. God he was perfection in human form, like the gods sculptured him themselves. "Well, I have to run... But, I'm sure I'll be seeing you pretty soon." He said and slowly walked backwards, not taking his eyes of Beth.

"I'm sure you will." Beth called after him as he left. Well, this was defiantly turning into a great day. She was all moved in, met a hot guy and she is now finally free to do what she wanted. If she wanted to date, even though she should really concentrate on her job, she can bring guys back with no word from her parents. It felt good to finally be independent.

She sat back on the sofa and Maggie came in, dropping the box on the coffee table. "Oh shit, he was hot." Maggie said, practically drooling.

Beth nodded in agreement. "I think I have multiple orgasms just looking at him." Maggie continued. Beth chocked on air and reached up to tap Maggie on the hip.

"Don't be so crude." She said to her dirty minded sister.

Maggie shrugged and sat down next to her. "You better get used to it sis, no parents to protect you from the vileness of the human race anymore." Maggie winked. Beth smiled and stared around. The apartment was perfect for her, one bedroom, small kitchen and a bathroom. But a big living room, with a wide floor length window. The piano was next to it so she could look at the window if she needed some inspiration from the beautiful scenery outside. Beth was extremely happy that she chose to live here, she could see herself being happy here for a long time.

It was Saturday, and her new job didn't start until Monday. So for the next 2 days, she had nothing to do. It was nearing 5 pm and as Maggie was about to leave to head home, Beth sat up and pulled a pout. "You know, I have 2 days here to myself... We could, celebrate?" Beth new the thought of a drink and good night would make Maggie stay, she just couldn't resist a party.

Maggie shook her head, like she was going to say no. But then pounced on Beth, knocking the wind out of her. "Let's get drunk!" She said, and after some poking in the ribs climbed off Beth and started laughing. "God I need a night out! It's been too long since we hit the town together sis."

Beth agreed, she didn't go out a lot. "I know, sorry. College was just so hectic you know?" Maggie nodded as if she understood, she then picked up her purse. "I'll get the drink you get the cards?"

Beth laughed and stood up. "Yes boss." She joked and went away to look in some places she could have packed her cards as Maggie left to go to the near shop for some beverages.

As Beth shuffled through some of the boxes she came across ad old photo of her and her ex on Prom night. God that was so long ago. Beth looked a lot more innocent there, not rocking the heavy eye liner that she's famous for now. She touched the smiling Jimmy and wondered what he was doing now. It felt like forever since they last talked, which happened to be when they broke up after prom. Beth remembers it perfectly, they hurt in his eyes as she told him she couldn't wait while he moved away to college. She did like Jimmy, but love wasn't there. He didn't love her either deep down inside, just somehow they found each other in school. She carefully put the photo back inside the box, blocking the sad memory from her mind.

Beth soon found the cards and waited for Maggie's return. She scanned through the music channels on her TV and found a beat that she liked.

Maggie came back not long after and Beth couldn't help but laugh when she tried to moonwalk in to the beat of the music. Beth got up and tried to do it as well, and was surprised that she didn't do it too bad. Maggie rolled her eyes and fell back onto the sofa. "Miss bloody perfect."

Beth poked her tongue out at her before grabbing the bottle. It looked disgusting, black pure evil. She knew that this would get them both drunk before they even left the apartment. "Devil Eyes?" She asked, questioning whether or not Maggie wanted to kill them both. Beth didn't drink often, only on special occasions, she felt that this was one of them.

"Yeah," Maggie said grabbing the bottle back defensively. "It's like Jager! Don't worry." She said and set it down. "Anyway, Devil's Eyes for shots. And I got us a few bottles of Tia Maria and orange juice to drink."

Beth nodded in approval. "Good taste."

They set out the cards to play a game of ring of fire. Maggie surprisingly had a to do a lot more shots than Beth, maybe it was because when Beth pulled a card to make a rule, she made a rule that Maggie had to drink double of whatever Beth drank. She knew revenge would come and bite her in the ass, but it was funny to watch now.

Beth wasn't paying attention when she pulled out the next cards, because she broke the circle. "HA!" Maggie wailed, obviously a little tipsy already. "You broke the circle, down the dirty cup." Maggie's eyes glistened with the pain she knew Beth would feel swallowing the mixture of alcohol.

Beth picked up the glass, examining the contents carefully. Devil Eyes, mixed with Tia Maria and orange juice. The product was quite revolting looking, like the Devil himself spewed into the cup. Holding her nose, Beth brought the cup to her lips and swallowed back the liquid inside.

After a few sips, Maggie laughing all the way, she was surprised that the drink didn't taste as bad as she thought it would. She must be drunker than she thought.

Around 9, Maggie and Beth chucked on some make-up before heading out to the night life. They didn't know how good Jackson's night life was compared to Atlanta, so they didn't dress up to much.

To their surprise, they found the nightlife wasn't that bad. It wasn't no Atlanta for sure, but it was still lively. They neared the nearest club and waited in line to go in.

Beth's skin tingled at the thought of the good night that was surely waiting for her inside.
