Chapter Thirty Three: Hallorama
Ava suspiciously looked at her small best friend. The small girl wore her old Dove hat and a familiar over size jacket with a duck on the back.
"You and Louis had been very friendly lately ...right after the break up." Ava went right to the pitch. Clem took out her books and stuffed it in her bag. She shut her locker and focused on Ava.
She barely hung out with Ava since she 'forgave' her. Clem been busy working on assignments and homework. Junior year is the worst year because the SATs are coming up and she must decide on which college to study in. Even though, her parents were on top of that last year. Of course, she going to attend to West Virginia University.
Besides that, her leg been slowing her down and she risking her life driving with a leg brace. Her parents offered to take her a ride and she refused. She had to lie her way to drive alone in her thoughts. Thoughts about her close friends. Figuring out what to do and how to move on from everything.
Now, back to Ava. Clem gave her a perplex look.
"Um. I guess. He been helping me with AP math so..."
"Why am I seeing you all over his stories on snapchat? Like chilling at your place, hiding in the piano room, and... bonding at the pet store?"
Clem rubbed her temple.
"What's with you?"
"It's just... Gabe is going through the break up hard." Ava frowned. Clem dragged out an annoyance sigh.
"So am I." She pointed at her leg.
"With Louis?!" Ava whisper shouted. Clem shook her head. She pulled Ava into the girl's bathroom. Checked below the stalls to see no feet.
She turned around to face Ava.
"He's just a friend Ava... Is there something about him that's bothering you?" Clem crossed her arms.
Ava ran her hand through her curls. Fearing to verbally confess her assumptions will go wrong. But the brown girl had to speak her mind.
"I... I think he's messing around with someone." Ava said. Clem shrugged her shoulders.
"So. If he's into that, let him be. Why are you telling me this?" Her eyes narrowed at the tall brown skinned girl. Clementine was not going to judge Louis so quickly. He had been nice to her since the beginning.
"Because I don't want him to lead you on. I know Marlon and the others joke around about how he's a player but... I'm believing it more. He always stays to himself and fucks around. I don't want you be part of his body count." Ava's brows furrowed as she stared at Clementine.
Clementine stood there in deep thought. Thinking how Ava could be right about Louis. But her relationship with Louis is far from romance. He's more like a comforting friend.
"I see. Thanks for... worrying." Clem limped up to Ava and hugged her. Ava hugged her back.
"I'm here for you Clem." She told Clem. The small girl nodded.
She thought of Louis. He said the same thing to her. And he made effort to be there when times are rough. He squeezed his way in to comfort her. Clementine allowed it because there was no one else around to save her from dark fear.
What Clem knew is that her best friend's words won't keep her away from seeing or talking to Louis. He's a great friend to her. And her first friend ever in Ericson. Why ruin that for them.
He never hurt her. Besides the leg incident.
"So, what are you doing for Halloween?" Ava smiled. Clem rolled her eyes up in thought. She saw the group chat with Duck, Gabe, Mariana, and Ava. Gabe barely message on there like Clem. Clem usually do but after all that, she simple glance at the updates or like a comment.
"Trick or treating."
"C'mon Tiny! It's just another party. I want bad ass pictures with us in costumes. It's our tradition!"
Clem already promised her parents she won't come home drunk. And being around complete strangers from colleges and high schools would be weird. She did not want no one older or any age have the audacity feeling up her ass or picking on her leg brace.
"I wish but I have this bitch on my leg." Clem smiled. The girls left the bathroom.
"Boooooo! So, who are you tricking and treating with?" Ava bounced her brows. Clem smirked.
"Of course, Alvin Junior!"
.
.
"No, the hell I'm not."
"AJ! Please!" Clem begged him. AJ struggling out of her arms.
"Clem! I said no!" He shouted. A couple of students from his class giggled at them. He felt the blood in his face. Why Clem pick the time and place to embarrass him?! Especially on his freshman year!
"This be the last time! Please, Goofball!" She whined.
"No!" He sneered menacingly.
The last time they went trick or treating, Rebecca stashed his candy bag. And found it a month later. Nothing but wrappers and nasty candy that no one heard of left in the bag. AJ had to trash it. No words were said to his mother for weeks.
"I'll give you my half!" Literally sacrificing her own candy. AJ shifted his gaze at her. Expressing a serious blank stare.
"You mean it?" He raised his brow.
"Yes!" She yelled desperately as she let go before stomping her right foot. AJ chuckled at her childish attitude.
"Deal." He held out his hand. Clem shook on it.
"Hey guys!" They turned to see a smiling Louis.
"Sup!" AJ gave him a bro hug.
"What are ya doing on Halloween?" He asked. Mostly towards Clem but AJ beat her to it.
"Apparently candy hunting." AJ mumbled as he glared at Clem. Clem flashed him an innocent smile.
"You still do that? Do adults give you candy?-Oh wait! You do look twelve for your height." Louis leaned forward to Clem's height. His hands on his knees and a ridiculous Cheshire cat smile plastered on his face.
Clem's lips tightened. Angry about short people joke. That's directly at her. And of course, it had to be someone like Louis to pull off the stance to make her feel little.
An idea popped up.
"You're right. How about you come along. You can be the big brother and give AJ and I your bag of candy." She leaned to his face, smiling wickedly. Louis's face dropped. Standing up tall, crossing his arms.
"Noooo way. I'm attending to a part-" Before he could walk off, she yanked his back pack. His shoulders slumped.
"You owe me!" She whined. Louis huffed. His shoulders rising and dropped down in defeat. He sighed dramatically.
"You suck." He pouted. Clem stuck her tongue out. She wobbled away to her class.
AJ watched her funny walk until he spotted Louis staring at her. A brow lifted on the young teenager's face. AJ leaned to Louis.
"Checking out my cousin again?" He whispered. Louis shook his dread locks. Scrunching his face in denial.
"No!"
.
.
The day of Halloween, Mariana made plans to go to the party. She heard smoking was allowed and she was not going to waste that opportunity.
Ever since she found out Mitch crush on Sarah, Mariana did not want nothing to do with him. She is no second choice or someone's replacement.
While her grandmother watching her dramas, Mariana had time to decorate her tan face with sticky gems. She applied pink and yellow eyeshadow and glossy pink lip gloss. After that she dressed in a white princess like dress that reached her thighs. Skin tight thigh length socks, heels and a plastic hair band crown. To finish the look, she put on a masquerade mask.
She took an uber there. The lounge was huge, many people dressed to impress, music ever so loud, and way in the back were hookah. Mariana made her way to the back but she spotted the beverages.
Some costumes were too much or elegant that people had to be care going around it. Mariana almost fainted when she saw Jason chilling with Michael Myers. Her worst nightmares.
While going to the punch table, she noticed some guys checking her out. One tall guy came over to her and she knew him well enough to know what he done to her friend.
"Hey, Princess. No brother around?" He hung his arm over her shoulders. She could smell beer in his breath.
"I'm surprise you noticed it was me." She took a cup and slurped it.
The sand brown young adult chuckled.
"That beauty mark is your trademark... And that tattoo." He nudged his nose over her cheek.
Clearly, he was tipsy. And Mariana was enjoying the attention for the hell of it.
"How is everyone after my year left? I bet things are boring now." He led her to a corner of the room. His mouth hovering her shoulder.
Mariana hummed.
"Mmmm... They're great. Nothing much happened." She said. Ben leaned his head on her shoulder while kissing her neck. His hands gradually roamed over waist to her thighs.
Mariana just stood there slipping on her cup. Felt empty inside. When his hand brushed her ass cheek, she pulled away from him. The fire blew out inside her. She didn't want Ben.
"What's wrong, baby?" Mariana pulled away from him with a smile.
"I didn't come to play. Do you have what I want?"
"How about you give me what I want and ...a small treat on the low. No one don't have to know." He whispered in her ear. Mariana chuckled darkly.
"Eat shit. Blackmailing bitch." She flipped him off as she twirled on her heels and swayed her way in the crowd.
Ben scoffed. His friends came over to him patting his back. He almost had her. He thought.
"WOOOOOOO OOOOOUUU!" A couple of guys howled as they entered the lounge. The crowd howled with them to gasp up the energy.
Ben smirked when he noticed his old buddy, Marlon. The blonde had his signature mohawk. And he was dressed as a ninja. Beside him was his five guy friends.
Aasim wore a well fitted police costume, Omar dressed like wolverine with his coils styled like wolverine's hair, Duck's costume was a pink duck onesie, and Mitch wore a Sasuke Uchiha costume with his nipples and abs flashing. Lastly, Gabriel came down in a masquerade skull mask, a sombrero with horns, and a bloody shirt and black pants.
After them the girls came down the stairs. Ava dressed in a sexy Peter Pan fit. She held hands with Sophie who had on skimpy Tinkerbell costume. Minerva and Violet dressed like Harley Quinn, but Minerva had the Suicide Squad version as Violet wore the black and red dress with a mask. Ruby in a cute nurse dress and Brody had on a leather tight cat woman suit.
The group spread out in the crowd. Drowning themselves with drinks, talking about God knows what in the loud music, shaking their asses like Duck and Ava on the dancefloor, making out every chance they could get.
Everyone was having a good time. And the college guys were wondering around choosing their victims.
Ben strolled through till he bumped into sweet Ruby.
"Excuse me." She smiled. She couldn't tell who he was since the lights dimmed and party ray lights decorated the room.
"Hey there nurse Joy." He purred in her ear. Ruby awkwardly stood back.
"Um... can you move aside, please." She asked nicely. Ben grabbed her hand and kissed it. The thick red head ripped her hand away and forced her way pass him.
Ben growled.
"Hey fat bitch! Don't walk away from me!" He yelled at her. Clearly no one else heard him except her. Especially since he said her triggered word. She stormed at him gripped his collar shirt of his greaser costume.
"What the fuck did you call me?!" She yelled at his face.
"Mmm. I like how feisty you are, Baby." He jerked his brows. Ruby pushed him, completely disgusted when she realized it was Ben.
She turned away before her fist 'accidentally' collide to his jaw. When she turned, Ben grabbed her wrist.
"Why not comfort me for the mean time? Use that fat ass." He whispered. She gasped in shock.
"FUCK OFF!" Ruby shouted again. Ben narrowed his eyes. He was about to say something until his body flew seven feet from where he was standing.
His boys ran to him, helping him get up. Ben rubbed the bruise on his cheek as he glared at the police man pushing through the crowd to get to him.
Ben got up, walking towards Aasim.
"Oh look. Mister Diary boy." Ben smirked.
.
.
Sophie left Ava at the dance floor. She went to get a drink. As she grabbed a cup, someone with a ghost mask slipped a small pill in her cup when he bumped into her.
The pink drink fizzled for a second. The red head didn't notice at all and slipped the drink.
Gabriel tried his best to have a good time at the party. Omar, Violet, and Minerva were cheering him up with weird conversations and dancing with them. Obviously with the girls.
When he felt dizzy from moving too much and drinking cup after cup. He went to the bathroom. After feeling refreshed, he came out the bathroom room to be pushed right back in.
"Sophie!?" The door locked and the fidgeting girl in front of him wasted no time unbuckling his belt.
"Woah! WOAH! Sophie calm down! What the hel-" She shut him up by smashing her lips over his. She slithered her hand in his pants, through his boxer briefs.
He effortlessly pushed her, but she didn't stop stroking his member. She laid kisses over his neck and skillfully unbutton his shirt with the other hand. Sucking his chest, leaving hickies. She was stroking and kissing the right spots that made him weak to the touch.
The red head squatted, unzipping his pants and lowering it along with his briefs. His hard on sprung tall and proud.
"Oh...shit..." The boy whispered. Sophie blinded by lust, she ran her tongue upwards his thick member. Tasting the pulsing hard flesh.
"...Sophie..." Gabriel panted. What should he do? This escalated too quickly. If he pushes her away, she might start crying and everyone going to ask why. He placed his hand on her head to push her. She swatted his hand off her head, trying to concentrate pleasing him.
Sophie wrapped her mouth over the tip and sink her head slowly. Gabe watched her in curiosity. Amaze how deep she took him and went back releasing him free but coated with her saliva. She did it again, taking it deeper till she grunted. The vibrations in her mouth felt too real. Gabe tilted his head back, leaving his hands against the wall, allowing her to have her way on him.
The girl got up, turned around and flipped her dress up, revealing her laced thong. She leaned over the sink and look back at him. She reached for him. When her hands caught his shirt, she pulled him towards her. Feeling his hot limb brush against her cheeks.
"What are you waiting for...Lou..."
.
.
After wobbling through four neighborhoods, Louis decided to give Clem a piggyback ride.
The pirate Clem gladly took the offer from the ninja. Louis was supposed to match with Marlon at the party but here he is. Servicing Clem.
AJ bag grew heavy only because after each house, he would receive candy from Clem's and Louis's bag. Only the best candy.
The young teen marched proudly to the next house.
Clem had her arms wrapped around Louis's neck.
"Am I heavy."
"Very." He smirked. Her eyes narrowed as her arm squeezed his neck. The boy choking and begging for her to loosen her grip. The kids around them eyed them oddly. Ran off to stay away from the two creepy teenagers.
She loosened her arms until he called uncle. He walked through the pathway and made it to the door.
"Hey AJ! Oh jeez, Clem!" Kenny and Katja waved after giving the small kids candy. Clem waved at them. Katja got up from her chair and went to inspect Clem's leg brace.
"Damn. Duck told us about your leg, but we didn't know it was that bad. Are you feeling any better?" The blonde woman asked Clem since Louis is carrying her.
"Oh no. I'm fine. Just tired from walking with this heavy thing." She lifted her brace leg as she wiggled on Louis back. Louis chuckled while he hopped to adjust her on his back.
"Don't stress it. Before AJ have to babysit you." Kenny winked at AJ while giving his bag a great amount of candy. The good candy! The one with king size bars and medium size bags!
Clem rolled her eyes and giggled.
"Why are you guys always saying that?! I'm the one babysitting AJ now." She pointed her eyes at the spider man teenager. AJ stuck his tongue out.
"I'm pretty sure I'm babysitting you two." Louis smirked. Clem gave him a side look. His stupid grin on his face tortured her. He was right though. Can't complain.
"I surrender!" She sighed dramatically in the neck. Louis, AJ, and the adults laughed.
When they left, AJ had enough roaming the neighborhoods and carrying his load. Clem and Louis agreed and dropped him off home.
AJ let Louis keep his bag of candy for thanking him for coming. AJ left the two alone in the car.
Like a big kid, Louis dug in his bag eating most of the chocolate candy in his car. Clem shook her head and snatched the bag from him. Louis tried to take it back, but she chucked it beside her.
"Hey! Don't eat my share too!"
"What!?" He squinted his eyes. He reached for his bag again, however she nudged him off.
"You didn't even wanted candy!" She taunted with her eyes and sly smile.
"I do now! Gimme that!" He snatched her bag and she screamed. The two tugging and arguing about the candy and later didn't know which bag which is.
"That's mine!"
"No it's not! You didn't have nerds! AJ took yours!" Clem jabbed her finger on his chest. Louis smacked her hand away.
"No way. I had two big boxes!" He pointed at her face. The finger pointing raised her blood pressure.
"How are you going to tell me-"
"Clem, get the fuck out my drive way before I call the cops on ya." Rebecca shouted through the second-floor window.
Clem poked her head out the window and glared at Rebecca.
"Do it!"
In that moment, Rebecca placed her cell phone on her ear.
"Hello. Nine, one, one. I'm calling-"
"Oh shit! Louis go! Go! Go!" The small girl repeatedly tapped on Louis's arm.
The car whipped out the drive way successfully and speed off.
Rebecca smirked. Those kids are fun to mess with.
"What toppings do you want for your pizza ma'am?"
"Pineapple."
The two teens laughed their asses off. Louis teased her how scared she looked. Clem shot him back on how angry he was when she switched their bags. They had a good time.
Louis phone kept vibrating, so he pulled his car over. Clem sat there munching on twizzlers.
"Oh shit!" Clem heard Louis.
"What happened?" She asked. Louis turned the car around and floated on the road. She panicked.
"What the hell, Louis!? What happened?!" She held on to the handle above.
"Brody, Minerva, and Violet send me videos of Aasim fighting this shit head. Marlon and Duck jumped in the fight when this ass hole's friends tried to ambush Aasim." He said rapidly as he cut through traffic.
Clementine hoped that everyone is okay. Especially, Ava, Duck, and Gabe.
After parking, there was small crowd escorted out by the security. The security slammed the door to keep the party going and let the guys finish what they started.
"Fuck you ass hole. Thinking you can come in here and get your dick wet!" Aasim shouted. A couple of guys tried to hold him back from Ben. Ben struggled in the arms of his classmates in college. Everyone had enough of this fight.
Clementine wobbled beside Louis. She looked around for Ava and she was nowhere to be found. Duck was there. No Gabe. Where is Ava? Ava was her main concern. She went to Minerva.
"Hey, have you seen Ava?" Clem asked. Minerva sulked and shook her head. Violet popped in.
"She's looking for Sophie. The fight broke out and she didn't want Sophie get caught up with these losers' game." She said. Clementine nodded. She made her way to the door and climbed down the stairs. As much as she hated stairs, she needed to see if Ava is alright.
Louis reached the front to see Brody comforting Marlon. He had a couple of bruises here and there but deep scratches on his arms.
"What the fuck happened man?"
"That son of a bitch..." Marlon was too heated to say it. Brody kept talking to him, but he brushed her off. Trying to ignore every word coming from her mouth. In no mood to be around her. He wanted to disappear.
Ben wiped the blood from his mouth. Chuckling sickly, everyone glaring at him.
"What's wrong, Marlon? Can't help it that your girlfriend is a porn star." He blurted out. A red head flew pass the crowd and swung at Ben. Knocking him out for the night. The tall girl kicking the scumbag on the floor.
Before any stranger could get their hands on her, Louis tossed Minerva before she could do anymore damage.
"That's enough!" Louis shouted. Minerva went up to his face
"He deserves every shit coming for him! That fucker ruined Brody. How the fuck will she attend to any colleges or even jobs?! Huh... like ...the fuck man..." Minerva started tearing up. Louis cupped the back of her neck, pulling her closer to him. She broke down crying.
"She can be a great whore in the playboy magazines." Ben's friend joked. Louis glared at him.
"You would like that. She's still a fucking minor idiot!" Mitch cussed.
"Dude! You can't be serious!?" One of Ben friends backed away from Ben. The other followed along. Forgetting about the law and shit.
Ben sheepishly smiled at his friends as he tried regaining back his balance.
"Guys. Chill ou-Hey! Don't run off on me! Guys!" He chased after them down the block.
"Sorry about ruining ya party. We didn't know Ben was messed up in the head." One dude apologized to them.
"Its fine. We're going now." Marlon waved him off. Head hanging low as he walked to his car. Brody ran to him. He pushed her way. She still followed him like a lost puppy. The worried group stared at the broken couple.
"Will they be okay?" Duck asked. Omar beside him shrugged.
"Marlon dealing with a lot of shit. Give them time to recover." Omar said.
Louis let Minerva go. Minerva turned and watched Brody walk beside the lost Marlon. She truly felt bad for the girl. She just hoped Marlon forgives her.
"I can't believe Ben would do such a thing to her." Minerva said. Violet's head leaned against Minerva's chest.
"Ben jealous of Marlon that's why." Louis started. Duck nodded his head.
"Shit. My hands hurt." Aasim rubbed his knuckles. The gang shifted their attention to Aasim who was standing next to the worried Ruby.
"Of course, you kept punching him and the floor." Ruby giggled. Louis arched his brow.
"Aasim fought?!"
"Dude came out like batman and started punching Ben. That's why Ben look a hot mess." Violet smirked at Aasim and Ruby comforting each other.
"Good thing you send me the video." Louis whispered to Violet. Violet pounded fist with him. They plan to use that video for later.
.
.
"Ava!" Clementine stumbled back when Ava launched on her, crying her heart out. The tall girl hitched and gasped in Clem's arms.
"Please...take me home..." She whispered between each sob. Clem escorted her out and the group eyed them.
They never saw Ava break down before. And couldn't imagine it.
Duck ran to them and helped Ava. The girl clung to him and Clementine.
"What the fuck happened?" Duck asked. Clem rubbed Ava's back.
"She wouldn't tell me. I found her near the bathroom crying on the floor."
Duck held Ava tightly in his arms and walked to his truck.
Clem turned around to see Louis busy with his friends. She'll text him later about her bag of candy.
Her main concern is Ava.
.
.
Gabriel walked out the bathroom first. Sophie was busy cleaning herself off and catching her breathe.
While searching for his friends, he saw his sister in the corner talking to a guy with a ghost mask. He was whispering in her ear that made his sister smile wickedly.
Mariana flipped him off and met her brother. She smiled at him, pulling him close to whiff his shirt.
"You smell nastyyyy!" She pushed him back. Gabriel glared at her.
"What are you doing here?"
"Not screwing around like you. Ava heard everything." She furrowed her brows yet smiled. Gabe's eyes widen. He grabbed her wrist, tugging her to him.
"What did you say?" Not believing his own sister's words. He could tell she was drunk by her slurring her words, but she could handle her balance like a sober person.
"Ava heard you and Sophie fucking. Gabriel... I'm disappointed in yoouuu~" She poked his shoulder. She took his hand and lead him outside since her uber was three minutes away.
"Woah... is that Mariana?!"
"Gabe? What happened to Ava-"
The Garcias passed them silently. They had it for the night. Minerva stopped them from entering the uber.
"Where is my sister?"
"Probably puking out the alcohol in the bathroom." Mariana slurred. Minerva ran inside to find her twin. Louis and Violet followed right behind and saw Sophie climbing up the steps with shaky legs.
"Sophie, what's wrong with you?" Minerva wrapped her arm around her sister's waist. Sophie shivered. She couldn't stop shaking and her mind was spinning around.
"Not...going to lie... but I had an amazing fuck!" She exclaimed.
"Louis please help me." Minerva pleaded. Louis lifted Sophie. She moaned in his arms then drifted to sleep. Her body kept trembling.
The blonde felt Sophie's face.
"Her body is fucking cold. Minerva, we have to take her to the hospital." Violet panicked. Minerva and the others rushed out to Louis's car.
"What's going on with Sophie?" Mitch asked them. Sophie was in Minerva's arms in the car. Trying to transfer her heat to her sister.
"We don't know. We be at the hospital. The rest of you go home and we update you later." Louis said. Mitch and the others nodded and left.
"Please, Sophie... Don't die on me..." Minerva stroked her sister's red hair. Sophie smiled faintly. Pressing her cold cheek on her sister's warm neck.
"Now...you care..." Sophie whispered. Minerva pressed her forehead against her sister's.
"I always care... bitch." She cried dramatically.
.
.
Clem laid in her bed. She was face timing Ava. They didn't talk much at all. The view on the camera showed the ceiling of Ava's bathroom.
Ava was throwing up everything. She cried here and there as she remembered the moans and grunts. And knowing who were in there doing the nasty fucked her over.
"Ava..." Clem wanted to see Ava's face. The bathroom was silent for a while now.
"Ava." She called out again. Clem sighed. She got up, took her phone, and keys. She quietly sneaked out the house and drove towards Ava's.
"Ava, open the door." Clem said firmly on the phone as she stood in front of the door at three seventeen in the morning. She shouldn't be up at this time. She remembered her parents telling her to no be out on the road at this time. Clem felt bad, but her friend needed her.
Minutes later, the door cracked open.
Clem entered the dark house. She followed a foot away from Ava. When she went in the room, she saw chunks...balls...and bits and pieces of curls on the floor.
"Ava what did you do?" Clem ran up to Ava and yanked the hood off Ava's uneven low cut. Ava weakly smiled as tears ran down her face.
Clem embrace Ava.
"I'll help you evening it out." Clem pulled back, smiling at her gently. Trying to hold on to her tears. Ava nodded as Clem and her strolled to the bathroom.
The sounds of the trimmer being used broke the silent sobs.
