Ch. 10

Another paper ball hit the back of my head. I rolled my eyes, but kept copying my notes. "Psst, Rosy," he whispered from behind me.

"Shutup," I hissed, focusing back on the teacher's lecture about reproduction. He tapped my shoulder. I shrugged his finger away. "Stop touching me."

"I need to talk to you."

"Talk to her about what Mr. Hedgehog," Mr. Danner asked.

"The project you gave us, duh," Scourge said casually. Mr. Danner rolled his eyes.

"If you say so." The bell rang. I gathered up my stuff and got up. I walked out the room quickly. I needed to get away from Scourge. He'd been bugging me all week and it was Friday so that meant a whole weekend away from him. Then again he did know where I lived. Great. I need a vacation. "Hey," Brittany said, coming up next to me.

"Hi," I replied. She looked over her shoulder.

"You should talk to him," she said.

"I refuse to."

"But Rosy, maybe he just wants to make things right."

"I know he does but I'm not ready to face everything right now."

"Why not?"

"I just got attacked by a guy I thought I could trust and a guy I thought I left behind. I can't deal with all my other drama. It's too overwhelming."

"Well if you need anything, just know I'm here," she said, putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks, Brittany," I said, smiling at her. She smiled back and nodded. We approached my locker only to see him leaning on it. My smile faded and my eyes lowered. I stood in front of him, looking down.

"Um, I need to get my stuff," I murmured.

"Can we please talk? Even for one minute," he asked.

"I can't, I have to get home."

"What about tomorrow or Sunday?"

"I have things to do."

"Rosy, I'm begging you."

"I'm sorry, maybe next week." He moved from in front of my locker but leaned on the one next to it. I opened my locker and started putting my books away.

"Can I give you a ride home," he asked. Looks like he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"Sure." I put the rest of my homework in my bag and started walking. He walked beside me, grabbing my hand. I gave him a questioning look. He didn't notice it. He was too busy acknowledging his followers and friends. I wiggled my hand free of his grip and backed away. He looked over at me.

"Where are you going," he asked, grabbing my hand and pulling me to him.

"Nowhere." He smirked.

"You wanna grab a milkshake or something?"

"Um, no thanks."

"You sure?"

"Yea, I'm not really in the mood for it."

"Maybe it'll make you feel better."

"I don't know…"

"It's either that or you're coming to Roll the Dice with me tonight."

"Scourge, I really don't-"

"C'mon, just think of it as a break from everything. Just a night to have some fun."

"I have to babysit," I lied.

"Your parents hire babysitters." Shit.

"Fine, I'll go. But only if Amy can come."

"Okay. Brittany's gonna be there too, you know." Great. Now I have to deal with their feud.

"I'll keep them away from each other."

"Okay, but if they start fighting, I'll help you break it up."

"If they start fighting, I'm leaving." He chuckled.

"Then I'll drive you home," he said, smiling down at me. I blushed. We reached his jeep. He opened my door for me. I tried to hop up but I fail. He chuckled and put his hands on my waist. He lifted me up, letting me get into the car. His hands didn't release me immediately either. They lingered on my waist for a few seconds more than they should. He shut the door and walked around the car.

"Maybe that was Scourge's way of asking you out," Amy said, fluffing my hair. She was trying to make me "glamorous" for tonight. But I wasn't in the partying kind of mood. I still remember the last time we were at that spot.

"Well it wasn't asking, it was more like telling."

"He probably knew you were gonna say no if he asked so he just said to be there."

"But I don't wanna be there. I don't want him to grow on me again."

"You still like him though, don't you?"

"Yea, but he's still annoying."

"All boys are annoying."

"But what if he tries to kiss me or tries to get in my pants?"

"Rosy, he probably still loves you. Do you really think he would hurt you?"

"I don't know."

"I bet he won't. Just believe in him."

"Are you sure she's coming," I asked Brittany, worried. She nodded.

"She just texted me a few minutes ago saying she was on her way," she said. I let out my breath.

"Okay, when she gets here, can you tell me?"

"Where are you going?"

"Around."

"Okay." I walked away, looking for one of my friends. A cute purple hedgehog smirked at me. I smirked back. Her blue eyes sparkled. She walked over to me, lust in her eyes.

"Hello there," she said when she reached me.

"Hey sexy," I said, checking her out.

"Tanya's the name, what's yours handsome?"

"Scourge." She smiled.

"Bad boy? My type of guy."

"Curvy gal? My type of girl." She gave me a seductive smile.

"I wanna be bad tonight. Think you can help me out?"

"I think I can."

I sat down at one on one of the couches. I sighed. Where was he? He was the reason I came to this stupid place. Brittany walked up to me, smiling. "Hey Rosy," she said. I waved. She looked me up and down.

"Love the outfit," she said. I was wearing a red and black corset vest with a tank top under it, black skinny jeans, and red stilettos. My hair was in wild curls that ended up wavy and fell down my back. And can I say that I had tons of makeup on.

"Thanks." She sat down next to me.

"Scourge should be around soon, I just texted him."

"Oh okay."

"You don't seem very excited."

"I'm fine, just tired." Brittany checked her phone. She rolled her eyes at the text. "What happened?"

"Scourge says he's 'in the middle of something' so he'll be down in about a half hour."

"Okay." I got up. "I'm gonna find Amy and grab a Monster. Wanna come?" She started to look annoyed at the sound of my cousin's name.

"Sure." We started walking around, a lot of guys checking both of us out. I found Amy making out with Sonic in a corner seat.

"Get a room," I said when we reached them. Sonic pulled away and glared at me.

"This is a room, duh," he said.

"A public room. No one wants to see spit being exchanged." Sonic sucked his teeth.

"Rosy, stop fighting with my boyfriend." She turned to Sonic. "I'll be right back," she said, running a hand through his quills. He smirked.

"Alright babe," he said before pecking her lips. Barf me. Amy walked up to the club concession stand with us, eyeing Brittany.

"What is she doing here," she whispered to me.

"She's my new friend. Be nice," I replied.

"I'll try."

"You're awesome, maybe we can do this again sometime," Tanya said, walking down the hallway with me.

"Yea, maybe." She wrapped an arm around my middle. I looked around the club concession room, trying to figure out what all the commotion was about. All I was seeing was fists being thrown and hair being pulled and almost all the girls in the room were involved. Sonic looked over at me and motioned for me to get my butt over there. I grabbed Tanya's hand and hurried over. "What the hell is going on," I asked.

"Girl fights. You probably should get your girls," he replied.

"You have girlfriends," Tanya asked. I shook my head.

"They're my friends," I said, unwrapping her arm from around me. I saw Brittany and Amy going at it, but where was Rosy? I walked over to the two girls and grabbed Brittany's waist, trying to pull her away from Amy. Sonic did the same with his girl, but dag these girls were strong. "Brittany, let go of her," I said, trying to pull her away.

"No, she started it," Brittany said, still grabbing hair and throwing punches.

"Ames, stop hitting her," Sonic yelled at Amy who was still pounding on Brittany's head.

"Let go of her hair," I said, trying to untangle Brittany's hand. The both let go but were still trying to go at each other. I dragged Brittany down in the lounge, Tanya following us. "Where's Rosy?"

"Up there somewhere. I think she tried to break up a fight but ended up in it."

"Awesome," I said sarcastically. "Stay here, I'll go find Rosy." I went back upstairs, Tanya still on my tail. Geez, would she give me some space. I saw Rosy on top of another girl slapping the shit out of her. Damn. I ran up to her and grabbed her waist. "C'mon Rosy," I said, trying to pull her up. The other girl still had a hold of Rosy's hair. I untangled the hand and pulled Rosy up. She started hitting me, trying to get me off her.

"Get the hell off me, perv," she yelled, trying to kick me in the balls.

"Stop Rosy, it's me," I said.

"I know it's you, now put me down!"

"No, just relax."

"No! Let go!" I kept walking. I took her to the lounge where Brittany was. I put her down and started throwing punches at me.

"Rosy what the hell," I asked, grabbing her wrists.

"Let go!" she tried to pull her wrists away.

"Stop babe," I said, grabbing her into a bear hug. "You're okay, you're okay." She tried to push me away but I'm way stronger than her. She wiggled underneath my arms, making me let go so I wouldn't squeeze her head or choke her. She stormed away. I made a move to go after but Brittany grabbed my hand.

"Just let her cool down," she said.

"I can handle her," I said, shaking my hand out of her grasp. I ran after her. She ran outside and into a dark alley. I followed her. "Rosy," I asked.

"Go away! I don't ever want to see you again!" I came up behind her, my hands going to her bare shoulders. "Don't touch me!"

"Rosy, I'm sorry. Whatever I did, I'm sorry."

"I don't care! Just go away!"

"No, I'm not gonna go away."

"Go have fun with your little girl toy!" Tanya.

"How'd you-"

"I'm not an idiot, Scourge. Why'd you even ask me to come here? So you can break my heart again?"

"I broke your heart?" She turned around and slapped me. That hurt.

"Are you that blind? Or are you just that stupid?"

"Neither but you said you didn't-"

"Well I lied. I love you! But you're a asshole. A blind cold no hearted asshole!" I saw tears flow down her face, messing up her makeup. I don't know why she even had it on. She was pretty enough without it.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you Rosy, but I just had a rough day and you kissing that other guy just made me burst."

"That 'other guy' kissed me. How many times do I have to say it?"

"Well it still hurt that you did nothing about it."

"I wasn't thinking, okay. All that was running through my mind was that you loved me and I didn't want to think of that anymore."

"Why? You're acting like it's a bad thing that I love you."

"Because it is."

"What do you mean 'it is'? You should be happy that a man loves you."

"But what does he love me for? What does he need me in his life for? Do you like my body? I know you do and I know you want me more than anything. Do you like my personality? Hell if I know."

"You think I wouldn't have spent all those days talking to you on the phone and talking in person and all those dates if I didn't like your personality?"

"It's called acting. You do it quite often, you know."

"I'm horrible at acting and why would I act with my feelings?"

"How- Ugh, I'm outta here," she said, walking around me. I grabbed her hand.

"Let go," she said, trying to wiggle her hand out my grip. I pinned her against the wall.

"I love you Rosy, what part of that do you not understand?"

"A lot. It's not because I don't know you do, it's because of the things you do. You always flirt with other girls, sleep with them. And when you're done with them, then you wanna bother me. I don't feel loved. I feel like a second choice."

"No, no, you're not a second choice."

"What do you want me to do, Scourge? What do you want from me? You want sex? Is that what you want?"

"When I first met you, that's what I wanted." Fear flew through her jade eyes. "But I've grown to know you, Rosy. I don't care about your body anymore. Your eyes are what keeps me awake at night now, not your ass." She looked down. I put my hands on the sides of her hips to pull her closer. Her hands went to push my arms away but they just laid there. I pecked a kiss on her head, burying my face in her hair. I felt her stiffen up. Was she scared? I wrapped an arm around her waist, letting my other hand go up to stroke her cheek that I couldn't see.

"I need to find Amy. We need to go home," she said, pulling away.

"Do you guys need a ride?"

"No, Sonic drove us."

"Can I drive you home?" She looked up at me warily. "Don't fight, just say yes."

"Fine," she said, taking out her phone. She started texting. "Okay, but you're taking me straight home," she said.

"Yea, if that's where you wanna go." She nodded. I kept my arm around her waist as we walked to the car. I helped her in again. She fell asleep after only five minutes. She must've had a long day. When I drove up to her house. I heard stuff being broken and yelling angry voices. I couldn't let her go in there. I know I promised her straight home, but I couldn't let her handle who knows what was going on in her house. I turned the car around and started driving back.

I woke up in a bed, a large t shirt and my undergarments on me, my hair pulled into a ponytail with my side bang. My head hurt really bad. I snuggled deeper into the pillow my head was on. Last night sucked, though I did beat that other girls ass. I opened my eyes when I noticed this bed didn't feel like my bed. I looked around. I was in Scourge's room. I sighed as I sat up. I heard the shower running. I heard the radio in his room playing lightly. Cody Simpson's "On My Mind" was playing. I didn't know he was into this stuff. Scourge came out the bathroom wearing a fitted black t shirt, dark gray sweatpants and white socks. He looked over at me. "Hey sleeping beauty," he said, walking up to me. I crossed my arms.

"What happened to you taking me straight home," I asked.

"Your house didn't seem so pretty."

"I would've been fine. My parents are at each other's throats, not mine."

"Well I still didn't want you going in there," he said, sitting on the bed.

"Did you undress me," I asked, noticing the big t shirt was his.

"No, I asked my mom if she could put you in that for me. I wasn't in the room when she did it so don't worry."

"Whatever," I said, laying back down.

"You mad at me?"

"No."

"Were you mad at me last night?"

"Maybe."

"Why?"

"Somebody said something bout our old relationship and it pissed me off at them and you."

"What'd they say?"

"Don't worry about it." He swung his leg over me so he was straddling me. I turned onto my side so he wouldn't be fully on me. He pushed my side so I would lay on my back again. I grabbed his wrists so he wouldn't do anything. His hands easily grabbed my wrists, making me let go of his. He pinned my hands to my sides and he leaned down on me so our bodies were pressed up against each other.

"I've really been missing you Rosy," he said, looking into my eyes.

"I miss you too, but…"

"But what?"

"Let's just see if we can make our way up again. Deal?"

"Deal," he said shaking my hand. "Right after this," he whispered before kissing me. I couldn't help but to kiss him back. I loved him. I didn't want to start my way up again. He pulled away but I kissed him again, rolling over so I was on top of him. I kicked out of the blanket so I could straddle him. His arms wrapped around me, one of his hands getting tangled up in my hair. I sat up to take his t shirt off me. "Rosy, what are you-" I put a finger to his lips.

"You want me. Just take me before I change my mind." He smirked and sat up to kiss me and bring me back down.
