I fell in love with the devil

And now I'm in trouble

I fell in love with the devil

I'm underneath his spell

Someone send me an Angel

To lend me a halo

I fell in love with the devil

Please, save me from this hell

-Avril Lavigne

Harper allowed Charlie to pull her away from Sam, back towards the party. Her mind was spinning with the words Sam had just told her. He couldn't truly have feelings for her. Did she have feelings for him? This couldn't even be happening. It would never work. She tried to push the thoughts aside as she danced with her friends. She couldn't stop from scanning the room hoping to spot him standing there. Frowning when she didn't see him anywhere.

After a handful of songs, she followed Jack to the punch table. She grabbed a glass and sipped at it, her eyes still flicking around the room.

"You're distracted." Jack said, sipping from his own drink.

She looked at him, guilt clouding her features. "That noticeable?"

"Oh yeah." Jack smiled at her, "Does it have anything to do with who Charlie saw you talking to earlier?"

She glanced down, her cheeks flushing. She didn't answer.

"Go." She jerked her head up and stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?"

"Go. Go see him. Talk to him. I'll make up an excuse for you leaving."

She couldn't contain the smile that spread over her face, she raised up to press a gentle to kiss to his cheek.

"Thank you, Jack." She tossed her drink into the trash can beside them and started to walk away.

"I better get details!" Jack called after her.

When she couldn't find Sam anywhere in the school, she headed towards the teachers housing. She cursed when she stepped outside and saw that while they had been inside it had started to snow. A light dusting covered the ground and it was dropping heavily from the sky. She wrapped her arms around herself and hurried towards the building. She was oblivious to the dark shadow leaning against a tree, it's eyes following her.

She hurried into the building, looking around carefully to make sure no one was around to catch her. She made her way up the stairs. Pausing outside Sam's door, she took a deep breathe and knocked. She shifted nervously as she waited for the door to open. The handle turned and she found herself looking into familiar hazel eyes.

"Harper." Sam sounded surprised to see her.

"Hi, Sam. Can…Can I come in?"

"I…sure." He stepped to the side to let her walk past before poking his head out to make sure no one was around to see her come inside. He closed the door softly before turning to her.

"Harper, you shouldn't be here. You know students aren't allowed."

"I…I know. It's just…what you said…" She looked up at him. He looked away, she could see his jaw clenching and unclenching.

"I shouldn't have said anything. It was stupid."

She took a smell step closer. "No, Sam. I'm glad you did."

He turned to look down at her, eyes widened.

She continued, looking straight ahead, her eyes were level with his shoulders thanks to her heels, she stepped closer. "I…I know this could never happen. But I just can't…I have to know…"

"Know what?"

She finally looked up at him, tilting her head back slightly to look into his eyes. "I have to know what it's like."

"What what is like?"

She put a hand on each of his shoulders to steady herself as she leaned up, her lips hovered over his.

"This."

She pressed her lips softly against his. They stayed like that for a moment, neither moving. Just barely touching. She started to pull away when Sam's hands finally moved, sliding around her lower back. The skin her dress left bare warmed at his touch. He leaned down, pressing his lips firmly to hers. Her hands slid around to the back of his neck, fingers gently tangling in the hair at the nape of his neck. Her mouth opened under his and she felt him groan softly before pulling away. He pressed his forehead against hers, both had their eyes shut, breathing softly.

"We can't." he said softly.

"I know." She whispered back.

He let go of her, she felt colder at the loss of contact. They both took a step back. She wrapped her arms around herself.

"You…you should probably go." Sam looked down at the ground. She nodded. Neither spoke a word as she walked to the door. She paused with her hand on the doorknob, glancing back at him. He was standing with his back to her, staring up at the ceiling with his eyes closed. She sighed quietly and walked out of the room, looking around her as she went.

The halls were clear as she made her way outside, everyone must have still been at the dance. She slowly started back in the direction of the school. Snow was still swirling down around her.

"So you're fucking my brother now?"

She froze, looking up to see Adam stepping out of the shadows, towards her. She rolled her eyes and started to walk again, ignoring him.

A hand landed on her shoulder, pulling her rough to a stop, fingers digging into soft flesh. She grimaced.

"Let me go, Adam."

"No. We have some things to talk about." He walked around her, fingers still digging in bruising her shoulder. He stopped when he stood in front of her.

"We have nothing to talk about." She turned her head so she was looking away from him.

"Oh but we do. Like how you're a little slut for everyone but me it would seem."

She scoffed "You're fucking crazy."

She gasped as he backhanded her across the face. He grasped her chin tightly, forcing her to look at him.

"Watch what you say to me. I might get….angry."

She stared at him defiantly. He grinned at her and she could finally see the monster he always kept hidden. She could feel the blood slipping down her chin from where her lip busted when he smacked her.

"Now, I can forgive your…indiscretions…with Sam. We can start over, pretend none of this happened."

"This…This is over, Adam. We're done."

He moved tangled a hand in her hair, gripping it painfully close to the scalp. She could feel strands being ripped out as he started to pull her out of the middle of the walkway.

"We're done when I say we're done."

She struggled against him, "Let me go." She managed to land a kick to his leg, that only seemed to infuriate him more. He growled as he smacked her head into a near by tree. She groaned, her vision briefly blurring. She felt the trickle of blood running down the side of her head.

He shoved her to the ground. She sat there, slightly dazed from hitting her head. Adam began to pace.

"You could have prevented all of this. If you would have just given yourself to me."

"This…this is because I wouldn't have sex with you?" She had managed to push herself to her hands and knees. Her head throbbed painfully. She cried out as his foot connected with her ribs. She collapsed back down.

"Would you stay still?! No this isn't about sex. It's about you belonging to me. You are mine, Harper. Mine."

She looked up at him, tears streaming down her face.

"You're delusional."

He stopped and stared at her. He stepped forward, setting his booted foot against her ankle.

"Delusional? I don't think so. I simply believe in what is mine." He put pressure on her ankle.

"Adam. No. Adam. Please don't-!" with more pressure and a twist of his foot she heard a crack, she let out a scream as pain radiated up her entire leg.

"You see delusional. I see devoted. In love. But you just had to throw. It. All. Away." He punctuated each word with a kick to her ribs and stomach.

She was sobbing in short gasps. Fingers digging for purchase in the snow, instinctively trying to move away from the pain. A boot came down on her hand and she heard the bones crunch as she let out another ear piercing scream.

He grabbed her hair, pulling her head up. "If I can't have you. No one can." He dropped released her head. She let it drop down on the ground. The pain was too much, she couldn't bring herself to try to move.

She thought she could hear voices yelling but the ringing in her head was too loud. She opened her eyes, her vision was blurry using all the strength she had left to lift her head. She could just make out what looked like several shadows moving towards her. She looked towards Adam, who was looking down at her with a sneer.

She forced a smile to her lips. "You lose."

She barely saw him move, his foot connected with her temple and the world went black.
