Chapter Two
Theia's POV
I opened my eyes to the darkness and sat up.
"Oh hey, you're awake!" chirped Heidi
"Apparently, what day is it?" I asked throwing off my covers
"Saturday, T." she started jumping up and down on my bed "and we're going out!"
I was still tired "...now?" I asked while yawning and stretching
"Yep! I wanna do your hair!" she bubbled
"O...k...how can you be this energetic in the morning?" she pulled me by my arms up to help me stand on my bed and we started jumping
"I had a monster!" she giggled and hugged me while we bounced "I was thinking maybe I could use these little twisty things to put these two messy buns that'll look so cute with your long hair!"
I lightly smiled "You have no idea how lucky I am to have you..." I sighed taking her hands and we hoped onto the floor
"Oh don't start with that again! I'm your friend--" she chimed
"But I feel like you're my baby sitter." I grumbled when she ran a brush through my hair "You do too much for me."
"You can believe what you want but I know the truth!" she giggled defiantly "So...you ready for this?"
"For what?" I laughed while she leaned into my ear and breathed on my neck
"Reid stopped by when you were passed out and asked if you and I would stop by Nick's tonight! For some reason he said it was for the um...favor you did for him last night?" she hinted "Care to explain?"
"Oh, um...I helped him back to his room..." I heard a gasp
"You're blushing so bad!"
"Oh, just shut it!" my face felt so hot "what are we doing now...isn't it morning still?" she twisted my hair and pinned it to my head
"Shopping! I think Reid likes you so we're getting you the hottest outfit you can afford!"
She spun me around in my chair "Hey! Warning, much!" I gripped the bottom of the spinning chair I was sitting in
"Sorry, sorry! I'm just so excited for you!" dang, she's hyper "I was thinking a haircut, dress and heels."
"What am I getting shaggy lookin'?" I questioned slightly worried, hey I may not be able to see myself but I can still care what I look like.
"Nah, but I think a shock would hurt the guy that much--not, sweetie...I'm gonna turn you into a sex kitten." her voice was absolutely devious
"Oh, god...I'm afraid."
While we were at the mall and hit several stores but I managed to talk her out of the whole dress idea--I said it would be asking for some...she didn't see the problem, but hey, that's just my girl. We decided to get me this white top that hangs off one shoulder and I think Hide said it had long black angel wings on the back while the shirt goes all the way down to my thighs. She got a tight, purple halter top that stops at the hips--it felt so smooth it was like heaven! She decided on getting a light grey skirt while I went with black, skinny jeans. Black heels for the both of us.
"Time for hair!" she squealed "What do you want done?"
"My long hair stays." I informed "You're not chopping it off." I crossed my arms and pouted
"You have no idea how cute you look like that." she sighed "And by the way I would never cut off your hair--It's to pretty...let's put bright colors in it!"
"Friggen' awesome!" he practically ran to my left and she set me up in a chair
"What colors? " she asked and I thought
"light blue and gray--how would that look?" she started playing with my hair
"Hm...interesting...dark or light gray and the blue?" she asked
"Light."
"Fabulous! Let's do it!" six hours later we were in her car blasting Flyleaf and Dresden Dolls on our way to Nicky's
"Oh my god...is it weird that I'm nervous?" I asked playing with my newly colored locks
Heidi laughed "You shouldn't." was her only reply
"Why is that?" I asked looking where I thought she should be
"No reason." she mused and I huffed
We were walking in the parking lot when Heidi called out to someone.
"Hey, Buddy get a load of this hot stuff!"she didn't just do that
"Holy..." a boy's voice had a tone of incredible disbelief "Is that...no way..."
"What the hell do you mean 'no way.' huh Garwin?" I retorted smirking
I heard footsteps come near us "...oh..."
"What you don't like it?" I asked trying not to sound disappointed
"Fuck no! It's--I mean...it's just--" he stammered
"Say it. You know you want to." mocked Heidi "Come on...speak your mind, girl like that."
"Yeah, Bro. Speak your mind." that's that one guy from last night, Tyler was it?
"Shut up." he gritted out and put his arm around my shoulders, I could feel huge muscles--hot. "Let's go." I laughed lightly and walked with him
"Hi...my name's Heidi..." she murmured to Tyler and I chuckled
"What's so funny?" he asked, high above my head
"Ok, so he's tall too." I thought "Heidi is trying to seduce Tyler." I whispered
"He seems pretty into it, actually." he chuckled "She's a pro."
"Oh, yeah. It's like her calling." I smiled
"It's mine, too." his voice was sexy
"If you're smirking I can't see it." I grinned teasingly
"Damn it, if you would just wear a pin to remind me or something it would be helpful." he grunted
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen." I rolled my unseeing eyes and made them turn away from where I thought his face should be
"See, when you do stuff like that, it makes you look...not blind." he mumbled under his breath
"I can pick up more than you can I bet." I heard him let go of a fast breath as we neared the door
"How many people are behind you?" challenged Reid
"Four. One of them is Caleb." I reported shrugging
"You know Caleb?" he asked slightly shocked
"You didn't know I knew Caleb?" I teased him
"Oh shut it." he grabbed one of my hands to support me "There's a step."
"Thanks." we entered the bar and he lead me to a table with both hands firmly on my waist "So..." he pulled out my chair for me, I heard it scrape against the old wood floor. "why the night out?"
"I wanted to pay you back." he sat next to me "And I find you interesting."
"I feel so special." I shot back "I think it's my arsenal of snappy comebacks."
"Possibly." he sniggered
"What?" I snapped
"You make the most evil smiles I've ever seen!" he laughed and I blushed
"I do not. Actually I can't test that but--hey stop laughing at me!" I smacked him lightly in the arm
"Hello, Reid." drawled a sexy voice
"Oh, hey ...what's up?" he asked, I could tell he turned completely around and had his back to me
"That's real nice, Garwin, honestly...it's amazing." I thought to myself and started playing with my hair
"Hey Theia!"
"How you doin', Bud?" called two very familiar voices
"Dalex, Kain!" I stood and opened my arms for hugs
"Oh, my god--you look fantastic! The hair is hot." Dalex whistled and I giggled, he's my ex and my first but we're still good friends. In truth, I'm surprised he slept with me at all.
"Really?" he grabbed my hand and spun me around like we were dancing
"Well, not only the hair--you're body...holy shit." he hand that same air to his voice as went he was turned on
"Easy now." I put my hand to his chest and pushed him back playfully
"Yeah, easy now. I get a turn too!" Kain is my little buddy and my soul mate in pillow finding...no he's not gay...possibly metro sexual but I really wouldn't be able to tell you. He picked me up in a bear hug and lifted me off the ground by a few inches, easy. I shouldn't have used the term little; he's six-one.
"Oh, hey guys." I see that I've gained the great and powerful Reid's attention, I'm so happy I could throw up on him!
"Tearing yourself away from your friend so soon?" Kain still had his arms around me so I just leaned all the way back and hung upside down, raising an eyebrow
"Sorry about that. She's an old family friend." he reasoned like he was hot stuff
"Then why couldn't you remember her name?" I smirked and narrowed my eyes
"Why do you think I didn't remember her name?" he asked in a slightly higher pitch
"You're putting on a decent show but it can't fool me." I stood straight up and faced him "Your voice is strained, it's higher pitched, by the way you move you seemed at a loss for words. Not like you. I hear the tension in your voice, it's useless to try to deny it. And that last question sealed the deal...you got defensive."
"Whatever." he grumbled "You don't know what you're talking about
"Hey, Man." Dalex was livid "Everybody knows she's another one of your booty calls."
"Shut the hell up!" Reid stood quickly but I put myself between the two
"If you're going to be like that, I'm not going to stick around." I fumed "I thought you were a good guy...maybe I was wrong."
I pulled Kain by the sleeve indicating that I wanted to go somewhere else "You wanna go home?"
"No, just not with him." I heaved out an annoyed breath
"Gotcha, here how about this; Dal and I are gonna play pool and you sit on the ledge, like last time." his calm voice soothed me slightly
"Alright..." he patted the edge and I hopped up onto it
"Thee, who do you think is gonna win, Angel?" asked Dalex as he patted my knee
I reached up and ruffed his hair "Kain, one hundred percent."
Dal mumbled a quick "Not funny." under his breath and went off
I sat with my eye closed and listened to who was winning. "Hey?!" came Heidi's voice "What the fuck are you doing over here?!" she seethed in my ear after she sat down next to me
"Reid was being a dick--he nearly got in a fight with Dally." I heard her tisk "What?"
"So? Every guy you met will nearly fight with Dal." she groaned
"Well, he did more than that." I retorted
"Theia, it's Kain right next to you." he told me "Reid has been watching you for the past twenty minutes..."
"Really?" I asked shyly
"Yeah, want me to take care of him?" Dal replied from a few feet away
"No." I hissed at him
"Dude, he looks like he's about to crush the cup he's holding." Kain's voice was faint "I don't think I've ever seen anything that intense before..."
"Just ignore him." I sighed "I bet he'll get bored."
"Ok..." I sense that people went back to what they were doing and left the subject alone
Reid's POV
I watched her for what seemed like seconds then was interrupted by Pogue.
"Bro...what the hell are you staring at?" he asked incredulously "You don't pay this much attention to porn."
"Girl." I said shortly, drinking my Coke then chewed the ice
He turned around "The blonde?" he wondered
"Blue and black." my eyes trailed back to her soft pale features "Theia."
"Then what's so amazing about her?" he asked
"...she's blind..." I leaned back in my chair and propped my feet on the table "beautiful eyes and they don't even work."
"Oh, I see...she's pretty." he said studying her "I thought I saw her with you earlier."
I took another drink "She was."
"You piss her off?"
"Random girl came up and talked to me, her friends came, pissed them off." I listed while still looking at her
"Stop with the staring, you're creeping out more people then you're relaxing." he cautioned while standing
"Uh-hu..." he waved a hand in front of my face
"Go find a girl, take her back to the dorms, and screw her like usual." he sighed
"I intend to." I smirked at him
"You can't get all the girls, Man. She doesn't care what you look like, it's how you act with her...I doubt she'll be a one night stand kinda girl." he said in a calm voice
"What are you? The great and powerful love guru or what?" I rolled my eyes
"You're problem, not mine. I was just trying to help." he walked back over to Kate and left me alone when Tyler approached me
"Hey, where'd Theia go? I thought she was with you--is she ok?" his rapid-fire questioning threw me off guard
"She's fine, she's right there." I pointed to her laughing with those two guys from before "What the hell...I'm a good guy..."
"I'm going to be strait up with you, you look like you're either about to kill something or maim it to the brink of death." I laughed a little
"Yeah...I'm over reaction right?" I asked and he answered like only a good wingman would
"What was your first clue, dumb ass?" he eventually talked me into playing pool with him against Aaron and his crew. As we walked over I glanced at Theia then headed in my own direction.
"She's just a fucking cripple." I thought scoffing at the idea of me being into her, even though I couldn't shake the pang of guilt that crossed my mind
"Hurry up, Garwin. Stop spacing off." demanded Aaron, as he gripped the table with both hands
I said nothing but picked up a stick and broke. It was only a matter of when we won and how much money they lost.
"We ain't payin' you shit!" yelled one of the many ass wholes that crowded around the table
"We won Jackoff!" might as well vent on their faces "Give us the money!" I pushed him, hard. it's more then I would have done usually, but fuck it.
He pushed me back. I grabbed his collar and pulled upward
"Hey!" called a pissed voice "Let the guy go!"
"Yeah, Garwin. Let me go." mocked Aaron
"Stay out of this Caleb!" he ripped my hand off Aaron's shirt and pushed me. I got back up and advanced on him "Keep your hands off me!" I pushed him just like I did with Aaron
"Reid?" asked a small voice that was scared and didn't know what was going on. I looked over Caleb's shoulder and saw her with wide eyes trying to pick up on what's happening.
I was knocked out of my thoughts by Caleb's return push. "That does it." I was about to make him sorry for every time he's gotten all high and mighty no me.
"Reid!" she yelled at me this time finally aware of her surroundings. She pushed her way through the mass of people and wedged her small body between us "Stop it." she said defiantly
"Theia what the hell are you doing?" asked Caleb
"Stop your fucking fighting." she pushed me in the chest. That Kain guy came up and pulled her out of harm's way.
"What were you thinking?!" he whispered to her
"...I'm outta here." I walked past Caleb knocking shoulders with him and left the room, storming out to my silver car
"Hey!" I heard a call from the door
"You've got to be kidding..." I turned around slowly "Go back inside." I commanded
"No." she snapped back while walking down the stairs. On the very last one she missed her footing and fell onto the gravel
I nearly stopped breathing when she dropped. I ran over and went down on one knee, then reached for her.
The second my finger tips touched her skin she batted my hands away with a scraped arm "what's the matter with you?" she snapped "I thought tonight would be fun, but you went and blew me off!" she had a little cut above her eye and dirt on her face
"I didn't blow you off I just was talking to some girl!" I grabbed under her upper arms and pulled her up, she fought me the whole way
"You would have ignored me the whole night if my friends hadn't been there and you know it. Then you had the nerve to look at me and lie strait to my face when I was just joking with you!" she took a step away from me
"Fine, whatever. You win ok? Go back inside. I don't want to babysit you." her face morphed from anger to pain, I don't think she realized she was showing any emotion at all.
Her eyes went red and her cheeks became a flushed pink "How dare you!" she put one hand one my chest and drug it all the way up to my face, so she knew where to slap. I grabbed her hands and held them while she tugged all her body weight against me. "Let me go you son of a bitch!" one tear slid from her sad, navy eyes.
"Stop, fighting me!" I said threw gritted teeth
"No, let me go--Dalex!" she called "Dalex!"
"Theia?!" he barged out of Nicky's with eyes that could kill "Get your hands off her, Fucker!" he laid a hit against my eye and I gave up. He pulled her by the waist far away from me
...I just stayed there on my back, like an idiot.
I sat up and checked to see if I was bleeding. No, just bruised. Rumors are gonna fly around at school.
Tyler spotted me on the makeshift side walk "Reid--what happened?!" he helped me to the car we came in together.
I said nothing the whole way back to the dorms--I even tried not to think but I couldn't stop playing what happened over and over again in my mind...
"I don't want to babysit you."
The face
"How dare you!"
The slap
Her eyes...
"You sure you can drive...you look messed up." I tightened the grip on the wheel "I saw Theia...she had the same look you do. She looked more hurt though...what'd you do?"
"Nothing..." I parked the car and walked away leaving behind me. I got to the elevator and went to the floor with the best showers. I didn't bother to take off more than my top shirt and walked into the steaming water, almost fully clothed.
My face hurts like a bitch. I looked into a mirror quickly and the damage could definitely be seen. I Used to heal it.
"Mmh...feels so damn good..." I slammed my fist into the wall. The pain was intense and I crumpled to my knees. I tried to breath regularly but I exhaled in short breathes and leaned against the wall "You hurt her, bad. She was nothing but nice to you!" I lightly hit the back of my head on the wall repeatedly. "You messed up again. You tore her down...you really hurt somebody this time" I verbally abused myself for about a half an hour then at that point I turned off the water and Used to fix my hand and dry myself.
I took the stairs back up to my room because someone was using the elevator. When I got there I hid in the stairwell and watched the two people "Theia and her friend..."
"I'm sorry that happened to you , Thee." soothed the friend "Are you ok?" let's get those scrapes cleaned up--"
"No...You don't need to babysit me...I can get it."
I shut my eyes tightly and let the door shut "Damn it." I sighed, they went to their room and I went to mine. I don't get a second of sleep that night, I didn't deserve it.
I promise the mood will lighten after this, ok?
