Love During Life or Death Situations
Summary: I'm Angela, but call me Angel. I've been best friends with Rudy since we were born. But as we grew older, I became unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. Then out of nowhere, monsters come in. WTF?! Rudy/OC
Disclaimer: I do not own Monster Squad, but only Angel. But I freakin' love Rudy and how badass he is!
Chapter One:
Third POV
Horace was eating candy bar and reading a comic book while walking across the schoolyard when two bullies walked up to him.
They begin to pretend to have a news report about 'why Fat Kid is so fat?'. They throw how candy bar to the ground and stomp on it, as well as ripping his comic book apart.
"You're an asshole." Horace said through his teeth. The lead bully, E.J. pushed his shoulder roughly.
"What'd you say, faggot?! What'd you say?!" E.J. yelled.
"I said you're an asshole." Horace said through his teeth, but louder this time. E.J. pushed Horace to the ground and began to hit his face repeatedly.
All the other kids shouts and E.J.'s punch stopped when two people rolled in on bikes. Not just any people, the two coolest people in junior high; Rudy and Angel.
Both wore black leather jackets, but Angel's hand wings sewed on the back of hers, and she wore jean cut offs instead of regular jeans like Rudy. Both wore sunglasses which they pushed to the top of their heads in unison. They also wore black leather fingerless gloves on their hands.
Other students and school would consider them good-looking. Rudy had black hair that was slicked back with grease, and his brown eyes had a look of authority and business in them; Angel was tan with dark brown hair and piercing green eyes that showed the same authority as Rudy.
"Hey Rudy, Angel." E.J. said nervously as he watched Rudy light a match for the cigarette in Angel's mouth.
"E.J." Rudy said nonchalantly, Angel just squinting to him.
"See you met our friend Horace," Angel said as she took a drag from the smoke and looked to the tear faced boy she mentioned. "You okay?"
Horace nodded, tears still falling and taking deep breaths to calm down. Poor kid, Angel thought. Doesn't deserve the bullying. I'm gonna make sure to look after him and teach him to stand up for himself.
"Ya dropped your candy bar." Rudy stated, pointing to said bar on the ground.
"Rudy, I'm not-" E.J. tried to say, but he was cut off when Rudy shushed him.
"Eat up." Angel said nodding to the bar.
"Rudy, Angel." E.J. pleaded, his voice cracking.
"Eat up." The two said sternly in a louder voice.
E.J. reluctantly knelt to the ground and picked up the dirt covered candy bar, looking up to the two who nodded.
He stood up straighter with the candy bar in his hand. He held it up and at the candy bar with a grimace of disgust. Horace was no longer crying and breathing hard, but standing behind him with a smug grin. The two coolest kids in the school just saved him.
Angel's POV
So after we helped Horace out from getting beaten senseless, Rudy and I just ride around the neighborhood on our bikes. My cancer stick was still in my mouth and I was taking occasional drags from it and letting the smoke of my nose. I felt like a dragon about to breath fire.
We slow down when we hear someone calling our names. We turn around Sean, Patrick, Horace, and a little girl I would see walk around the elementary school. They were running all the way to us.
"Rudy, Angel." Sean called out.
"Hi Sean, Patrick, Horace." Rudy greeted.
"Hi boys, how you doing Horace, after the incident?" I asked him. Horace was now smiles and chubby cheeks with dimples.
"I'm great, thankful really for what you did. You guys saved my life." He said excitedly.
"Don't worry 'bout it." I said.
"So what'd you need?" Rudy asked.
"Well, we have this monster club in the treehouse in my backyard. And we were wondering if you wanted to join." Sean said with hope in his voice. Rudy and I turned to each other and I waved him closer to me. We both leaned over our handlebars and whispered so only we could hear each other.
"We should do it." Rudy said.
"I agree, we got nothing else to do. Plus it could keep E.J. and his goon away from hurting them. After what just happened, I'm worried for them and I don't want to see them get hurt." I explained. He nodded and we stood straighter, looking to the three in front of us.
"Alright, what do we gotta do?" Rudy asked. The three boys before us exchanged looks and turned back to us.
"Monster test." They said in unison. I saw the little girl was playing with a stuffed dog and putting a flower crown on it's head.
"And who's this little one?" I asked them. They glanced back at the little girl who looked up at us.
"This is Phoebe, my little sister." Sean said. She smiled shyly and waved at us. I smiled back and gave her a wave. "Come on, let's go to the tree house."
We began to walk to Sean's house with him and his sister in the lead. Occasionally bringing something up to talk about. I mostly talked to Phoebe who knew things she's not supposed to, much to Rudy's amusement who wouldn't stop snickering when she said she would 'beat the shit out of them if they didn't let the join the club', her words not mine.
We got to Sean's house and climbed up the ladder, all except Phoebe who wasn't allowed. Rudy sat at the window platform and I laid down on a mattress nearby.
Sean, Patrick, Horace, and another kid named Eugene with his dog Pete came up and sat on the floor between where Rudy and I sat. They asked us questions about monsters and we answered them.
"Two ways to kill a vampire." Horace asked us. Rudy looked to be in thought for a moment.
"Uh, stake through the heart."
"Right, what else?" Horace said. Rudy was busy looking out the window at something. I looked out the other window by me and saw what he was looking at. Patrick's older sister, which Rudy didn't know about, was undressing. Seriously, that slut always leaves her window open. She needs to learn about covering up for others sake.
"Rudy, are you gonna listen or look out the window?" Sean asked annoyed. "Rudy, c'mon, it's a monster test. It's important okay."
Rudy rolled his eyes, annoyed, but looked away from the window, and the slut, and nodded, leaning against the wall.
"Second way to kill a vampire." Sean asked.
"Daylight." I spoke up.
"Sunlight, haha." Horace said smiling. I rolled my eyes and literally face-palmed.
"Seriously? What other kind of light is there?" I asked him in disbelief. Horace just shrugged and sat back. "And there's actually three ways, cut off their heads or burn them. Always works in the movies or books." I said pulling another cigarette out and putting it to my mouth. Rudy tossed my his box of matches and I lit my cigarette.
"Okay next question: is Frankenstein the name of the monster or the guy that created it?" Patrick asked.
"The guy." Rudy and I said in unison. A knocking rang through the house and Sean opened the door. Phoebe's head popped out the opening.
"Can't you read?" He exclaimed to his sister, referring to the door which said 'No Girls'.
"Mom said you have to let me in or else it's prescription." Phoebe exclaimed in her cute high pitched voice. I smiled at her determination of getting into the tree house.
"That's discrimination jerkoid. Prescriptions drugs, which you're on if you think you're getting up here." Sean said, correcting her choice of words. Despite her protests and whines. Sean closed the door.
"Two ways to kill a werewolf." He asked, still peeved about Phoebe.
"Silver bullet." Rudy said.
"And?" Sean asked, to which Rudy gave them a look.
"That's it, shoot him with a silver bullet." My childhood best friend said.
"Nope, sorry Rudy."
I rolled my eyes and cleared my throat, bringing all attention to me.
"Well, you surely can't make him explode, 'cause his rapid healing will just put him back together. If you knew how, you could cut his heart out or even stab him with something made of silver. Or if you really knew about this stuff, you could find wolfsbane and cure him from his eternal moon curse." I explained with a matter-of-factly tone. All the guys jaws dropped, and Pete had a paw to his face as if he were face palming sort of.
"How do you know so much about monsters?" Patrick asked. I just shrugged.
"I watch a lot of movies and read a lot of books believe it or not." I told them. Rudy nodded with a grin on his face.
"She does. I've even seen her reading her school textbooks before the start of lessons. She helps me with homework and schoolwork since we have all our classes together." He told them. I just shrugged and took a drag from my cancer stick.
"Sean, Phoebe dinner!" Their mom called. Sean opened the hatch door and climbed down the ladder.
"Wait, are we in ot what?" Rudy shouted impatiently. Horace, Eugene, Patrick, and Pete left the treehouse, leaving Rudy and I sitting in our spots. I sighed, laid back on the mattress with a hand behind my head and took a drag from my smoke.
"Who knows if we're in or not. I just need somewhere else to be other than at home where I'm just sitting, reading, eating, sleeping, or watching shows, while the two house owners I call parents are out working late." I said.
"Hey, you still got me." Rudy said.
"Yeah well, you're Rudy." He feigned hurt, but recovered and took my smoke from my mouth. "Hey!" I exclaimed sitting up.
Rudy just smirked and took a drag. I sighed annoyed and rolled my eyes, falling back onto the bed.
"I'm going home. It's getting late and I'm hungry." I said standing up and fixing my jacket.
"Can I crash at your place?" He asked. Sometimes when he didn't feel like staying at his house, he would come over to my place and sleepover. He even has a dresser of his clothes at my place. The same goes for his house and my clothes, I hope he doesn't go through my underwear.
"Sure. Come on." I said. I opened the hatch and just hopped down, landing on my feet. Rudy closed the hatch and climbed down, hopping off the last two rungs.
We walked to the front of the house where we left our bikes. We hopped onto our bikes and pedaled home, I did a couple wheelies on the way.
We got to my house and I pulled the key out of my bra, which made Rudy smirk. I made a face at him and unlocked the door. My parents car wasn't in the driveway so they weren't home.
We got in and walked to my room. It was a large room with a queen size bed that had grey and white bed sheets with a forest green duvet and grey pillow cases. There were posters of zombies, vampires, werewolves, wolves, and other stuff hanging on the walls. I had a desk that looked to be like the ones they used in the military that could fold into a trunk.
I got a black tank top, blue and white boxer shorts, and black no-show socks from my dresser and went to the bathroom to change. I changed real quick and went back to my room, just in time to see Rudy pull on a white wifebeater, he was also wearing red and black pajama pants.
I hung my leather jacket on my desk chair and put my other clothes in the hamper.
Rudy crawled into bed as I shut the light off, the light of the moon shining from the window through the open blinds. We trusted each other enough not to do anything stupid. Even when we woke up holding each other, we wouldn't care.
"Night Rudy." I whispered.
"Night Angel."
