Sweet Dreams
Ch.7. A night at Nikki's
I was standing in front of my mirror trying to figure what wasn't right. My hair was blown out; I was wearing a cute grey baby doll top, and a jean skirt. I was so concentrated I didn't hear Tyler come in. He walked up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked so tiny compared to him and I looked at my feet. Chanel flats that was the problem.
"Shoes," I said and Tyler laughed.
"No, hi how was the rest of your day?" he asked and I shook my head no while getting out of his grasp and heading to my closet. I looked around and grabbed a pair of knee high black leather boots and a pair of dark washed skinny jeans. When I came out Tyler was looking at a scrap board Carson and I put together during the summer. I undid my skirt and let it drop to the floor. My bedroom door flew open and there stood Pouge.
"Sorry!" he said while turning around.
"About wha-" and Tyler stopped when he saw me in my black thong pulling on my skinny jeans.
"What are you doing in there?" Pouge asked and I huffed.
"He didn't even know I was changing." I told the complete truth. "He was too busy looking around my room."
"Well I'm leaving," he told me and I heard his heavy foot steps hit the stairs as we went growing fainter with every stroke.
"You ready?" Tyler asked and I huffed.
"Do I look okay?" I asked while looking in the mirror.
"You look fine," he said while handing me my boots. "But we also have to pick up Carson and Reid." he reminded me so I hurried up and got my shoes and grabbed my purse as we left.
"Carson!" Reid yelled at her. "Hurry your ass up."
"I don't know what to wear!" she yelled back as she came out of her bathroom in her bra and underwear.
"Everyone has already left." He told her and she huffed while throwing tons of clothes on the floor. "What about this?" he asked while holding up a yellow tank top. She huffed and stomped into her closet.
"Hey!" I said while coming in and going straight to the Carson's closet, and right back out.
"She's still not dressed?" Reid asked and Tyler huffed.
"Hurry up Carson or I'm leaving your ass." Tyler told her and I laughed. She came out in her bra and underwear and smirked at him.
"Baby boy, listen you leave me. I'm going to cut off you dick. Before Ally gets to have fun with it." she said while picking up and shirt and a shoe and heading into her bathroom. I hated everyone knowing I was still a virgin and that Tyler was most likely going to be my first.
"Where's Julia?" I asked and Carson came out buttoning her jeans.
"She left already, with my brother!" she told me while putting her foot into a pair of flats. She could wear flats all she wanted she wasn't that short. "Cute, boots," she said while looking at my feet and I just smiled.
"Can we go now?" Reid asked and Carson nodded.
We all piled into Tyler's hummer and took off to Nikki's. Nikki's was a bar outside of town kind of located in the wooded part of town. The dude who ran its name was Nikki and he named the bar after himself in case you were wondering. It was always packed with people, mostly high schoolers from Spencer like ourselves. When we pulled in Pouges yellow bike was nowhere in sight which made me worry. We all got out and walked in we had to nudge through people to get to our usual table. Caleb, Kate, Sarah, and that new dude Chase were sitting down. All the us girls hugged each other even Sarah, it was my attempted at being nice.
"You look cute," she complimented me and I smiled.
"Thanks, I love your hair." I told her while looking at her wavy blonde locks. She just smiled at me before sitting down. Tyler, Carson, Reid and I took the table next to them. The place was smoky and loud and I really didn't want to be here but Tyler wanted to come so I told him I would. I looked around for Julia and didn't see her anywhere.
"Where's Julia?" Carson asked like she was reading my mind.
"Pool table with Aaron and the boys." Caleb informed us before returning and talking to Chase.
"Fuck you!" I heard Tyler say to Reid. "You want anything to eat?" he asked me and I shook my head no.
"But I would like a coke," I told him smiley cheesy.
"Okay," he told me before getting up with Reid.
"Pool tables?" I asked Carson who smiled as we both got up. We walked back though the crowd of people and over to the pool tables. When we got there we found her making a shot with her ass in the air. Of course she didn't make it she was Julia.
"Air ball, no wait that's basketball." I said while looking at my old blonde friend. She was right. She had changed I just wasn't sure if it was a good thing.
"Hey," she said when she saw us. She dropped the pool cue and came and hugged us. Carson wiggled free like her life depended on it.
"Hey, you girls playing?" Aaron asked and I rolled my eyes. "You really don't like me?" he asked and Carson laughed.
"Not really since I'm pretty sure I gave you that bruise on your leg." She told him all cocky like while tilting her head to the side to still maintain her innocents.
"Wow, that was you?" he asked and she smirked up at him.
"Yeah, well I'm still playing." Julia told him while getting the attention back on her.
"What about you?" Aaron asked while looking at me and smiling and I turned around and saw Tyler behind me.
"I'll play," he told Aaron and I looked up at Tyler in his blue eyes. "What?" he asked me like he didn't do anything wrong. Every time we were around Aaron something bad happened.
"You know what," I said while poking him in his abs. He just chucked and handed me my coke.
"I'm in too," Added a voice coming through the crowd. It was Reid holding a basket of fries. Carson grabbed them and we headed back to the table. Right as we sat down I saw my darling brother a merged from the crowd we were just in. He looked pissed when he saw Kate was sitting by Chase. He was so jealous. He walked right up behind Kate not saying a word.
"Oh, hey baby. You missed a great movie." She told him before he leaned and they kissed.
"Yeah, I had to get my bike fixed." he told her and I looked at Carson and she shrugged. Maybe he was telling the truth on this one.
"Well, its cool Chase hung out and kept me company." She told him while touching Chases shoulder. I knew Pouge was going to let her know how he felt later.
"I'll just bet he did," Pouge told her while taking his jacket off and putting it on the back of her chair. Everyone at our tables were quiet and listening to them "What's up man?" he asked Caleb as they fist bumped.
"It's all good," Caleb told him and I looked at Chase who was taking off his jacket too. He must really want Kate or something. Pouge bent down and asked Kate something and walked to the bar and ordered something. When I looked back at Kate it looked like she was apologizing to Chase for my brother. Then Caleb and Chase got up and started playing some of the games they had.
"How are you and Tyler?" Kate asked me and I smiled.
"We're good, thanks for asking." I said back I was going to ask about my brother but he appeared with what looked like fries a hamburger and a coke. He sat it all down by Kate before going over to the guys, what a waste. I got kinda hungry and stole some of Reid's fries that we almost gone from Carson.
"I only ask because your brother-" and she was cut off by Carson.
"Is a protective asshole. No! Wait that's my brother." she corrected herself and we all kinda giggled.
"He is plus. Ally's a virgin." she told Sarah who was taking a drink and spit it back in the cup. Everyone was laughing even me because it kind of went everywhere. But an even louder laugh made us stop it came from the boys.
"What just happened?" Sarah asked.
"What?" all three of us asked.
"Well we were sitting here together having fun. And now we're watching them have fun." she gestured towards the boys.
"That's what girls do; you know boys and there toys." Kate tried to get her to understand.
"No, give me a quarter?" she said and we all looked at her.
"Why?" Carson asked all bitchy.
"Come on just give me a quarter?" Sarah told her and I grabbed a quart of our table and handed it to her. She got up and walked over to the jute box, put the quarter in and pressed some buttons. I love rock and roll started playing. Not the Britney version but the real one. She started walking towards the guys and she took Caleb out to where a couple people were dancing. They actually started getting into.
"Barf!" I heard Carson say and I laughed. Kate was singing along and watching her new friend with Caleb. Then something started going on at the pool tables a glass broke and everyone looked over there. Reid full on pushed Aaron and Aaron pushed back making Reid hit Tyler and some other guys. All the guys started going outside after that. Pouge told Chase to stay with the girls but Carson and I didn't care we went and followed them and went out after a couple of seconds.
"What's the problem?" Caleb asked as we all got out there.
"None of your damn business!" Aaron shouted at him and Caleb didn't look happy.
"He bet me I couldn't make a combo shot, and I did." Reid said while smirking it up. We all knew how he made it, he used it was that simple.
"Why don't we just forget about okay?" Caleb said while looking at everyone.
"Hey!" Nikki yelled while holding a bat in his hands. Nikki wasn't a small guy at all he was big and bald. "Take it some place else," he told them while hitting the bat in his hand. "Now!" he added force when not one of the groups moved. Aaron and his friends went without another word after that and Nikki back inside.
"What were you thinking?" Caleb asked Reid as Reid moved to face him.
"Can we not do this?" Carson asked as we moved closer to the guys now.
"No!" Caleb shouted at her and Carson kind of jumped. Caleb was pissed he never yelled at her never.
"I was just playing them," Reid said like he didn't even care what Caleb thought.
"They were suckers for it," Tyler chimed in and I huffed and shook my head no and to tell him not to get into it. I didn't even Notice Reid walk close to Caleb and whisper talk in his ear.
"Why don't you stop being such a pussy?" while trying to walk passed him.
"I'm not finished with you," Caleb told him while grabbing his Shoulder. Reid grabbed his hand and faced him. I saw from the corner of his eye that his eyes were black as night. He was doing something to Caleb and his hand Caleb let a small groan escape his mouth.
"Reid, stop," he told him in a weak voice mixed with a dry one.
"Reid!" Carson snapped at him. I knew this had to be hard for her. Brother, boyfriend, brother, boyfriend who do I choose. I was surprised Poug hadn't jumped in yet. Caleb's eyes turned black and he sent Reid flying into the brick side of Nikki's.
"What will it take for you to get it?" Caleb asked while stepping closer to him. "It's addictive you moron," he told him not like we hadn't been though this before. If you keep using it starts to age you so bad that you could be a 40 year old and look like you're 90. "You've seen what it can do if you abuse it, if you want that it's your business. But if you use it in the open like you did tonight you're risking exposing us all. And that I won't let happen." Caleb finished as Reid stumbled to his feet still with eyes black as the night.
Reid started floating an empty keg that was sitting outside by the trashcans.
"My powers greater than yours!" Caleb seemed to brag but not really.
"Not until you ascend," Reid seemed to believe and Caleb didn't have a problem with that.
"Alright go for it tough guy," He waved to himself waiting for the blow of the keg to hit him. It went flying though the air right for Caleb's face but he blocked it with his arms, and sent flying the other way. Caleb soon made the air all around us get heavy and he forced it to hit Reid and he went flying into the glass bottle for the Recyle. Caleb started going after him.
"Stop!" Carson screamed but he did. "Stop!" she screamed again and this time Pouge took action.
"Stop it, this is crazy." He told Caleb while pushing him back.
"It's for his own good!" Caleb yelled while Carson check to make sure Reid was okay. "If he keeps using like he did tonight, like he did this whole weekend. When you ascend you'll be as good as dead!"
"Stop!" I screamed and everyone looked at me. "Just stop?" I asked while pushing my hand though my hair. I was standing in the middle of everyone right now since Tyler and Carson were holding Reid up and Pouge was holding Caleb back.
"So I fixed her car, big deal." Reid spat back while pushing Tyler off him and kinda of Shaking Carson as well.
"Don't play me Reid. I'm talking later and you know it." Tyler had to start holding Reid back this time.
"The hell I do. I didn't use later." He announced while getting out of Tyler's grasp and pushing passed Caleb and Pouge.
"It's not right using on each other." Tyler told Caleb while walking by along with Carson.
"Tell it to Reid," he said before running his hand down his face.
"What did you mean by later?" I asked while looking at Caleb even though I could feel my brothers' eyes on me.
"Somebody sent me a darkling," he said while looking me in my eyes.
"What?" I asked and he nodded.
"Something's going on," Pouge cut in and I sighed.
"I've been having these dreams," I started before taking a breath. "Like someone's gonna die."
"You're probably just nervous," Caleb told him and I stopped him.
"NO!" I kind a yelled. "I saw Carson's door with blood dripping down it. Does that sound like nerves to you?" I asked and I felt the tears in my eyes.
"What?" The both asked loudly.
"Something's going to happen. I don't know whose gonna do it. Or when but I know someone's gonna get hurt." I finished while taking shallow breaths.
"Hey," Sarah said while peeking her head out of the door. "Everything okay?" she asked and we nodded. "K lets go then," she said more to Caleb who followed her back in the building. I walked behind Pouge up the stairs and snap.
"Pouge?" I said and he stopped.
"What?" he asked me and I looked at my heel I broke it. "Take them off," he told me.
"Ew this floor nasty," I said and I sounded preppy. I just took them off and we walked back to our table and no one was there so we walked out front. Everyone was standing around taking besides Caleb and Sarah it looked like they left.
"What happened?" Tyler asked as he saw me barefoot.
"Do you still have my flip flops in you car?" I asked and he nodded.
"In the back. What them?" and I nodded yes we walked over to his car and popped the back open. When we opened it a dead body rolled out. I screamed and held my stomach my fries were about to come up.
"Get her out of here?" Pouge yelled at Tyler and he took me over to the bench and sat me down. Something was going on and from the looks it was out for blood.
