We were only kids when we made a promise, more so a secret. Our friendship was the only thing we had growing up, we did gain another two friends in our group. Only the four of us was what we needed. Just me, Blake, Myra and Alex. My three best friends were all I had.
My parents died in an accident after their divorce, Alex's parents were strict on him but he just didn't listen to their yelling, and Blake's parents also divorced, and Myra's parents were cool and chill, they let you do whatever the hell you want. But at least they can still see their parents. Alex's parents loved me to bits since I was the "perfect daughter", so they offered to bring me into their home after the accident. They even offered to adopt me, but I declined not wanting to be anymore of a burden to them. It was hard enough that my parents both died, and being pushed into the idea of being adopted. Every time they went to far, I'd go to Blake's place and just walk in since Alex's parents knew where Myra lived and not Blake. I'm tempted to just move in with Blake every time Alex's parents bring the adoption idea up. It makes me so upset when they don't shut up about it.
Then an even more crazy accident happens and it just messes the three of us... We split when it happened... But I need to start from the beginning...
Me, Alex, Myra and Blake where on our way to a party, although me being the youngest of the group, I shouldn't be going. I'm 16 and only in my second year of high school, making me a Sophomore's, Blake's 17 and in his third, so he's a Junior, and Myra is 18 and Alex is 19 so their Seniors. And you'll never see Alex in the sun, and he keeps getting drunk in the middle of the night, so that would explain it.
While we were walking to the party I kept hearing something in the bushes around us, either no one heard it or no one cared or payed attention to the noises. "Umm, hey guys. Do you hear that?" I asked my three friends in front of me "Nope" Alex said and pulled out a cigarette "No, why? would you like to hold my hand if your scared?" Blake asked, I didn't hesitate and took hold of Blake's open hand pulling his entirety close to me. Blake laughed at my behavior, or me. And Alex just huffed "You two are so close... I find it disgusting" I growled at him "Well at least we aren't found with a random body in our bed every morning" he smiled and laughed "Ha, touche. But true" he frowned again. "Wanna go graffiti on some things after the party?" Alex's eyes lit up in hope Myra smiled "I'd love to do that" me on the other hand wasn't much into the idea "I'll think about it then give you my answer when we meet up later" I replied, "That's a no for me unless Blay goes, I can't have her get hurt" I laughed "When have I ever gotten hurt, I'm an independent girl who needs no help" Blake chuckled at my words "Right, you said the same thing right before you slipped off the train tracks and fell into the water. You had so many cuts and bruises. I was so scared when you fell. I thought you would've died" I laughed and snorted "Right, well I'm not dead so I'm fine. And that means I'm gonna go with Alex." I loved my best friends
After my reply, we were at our destination. This party seemed different, it was way bigger than all the other ones I've gone to, and this one was also at a mansion instead of a decent sized house. Alex took hold of my hand and forced me away from Blake and Myra, of course he was taking me to the bar. He ordered an entire glass of alcohol, I denied every sip he offered me and tried leaving. But he just pulled me back, I kept hearing Blake and Myra call my name, but Alex would just cover my ears. He put his hands on my face and pulled me close. Then he kissed me. He always did this whenever he was drunk... He didn't stop, then he dragged me into the house and up a few flights of stairs... I yelled for Blake until my throat hurt, I didn't want this.
Alex tossed me onto the bed and told me to undress, I didn't obey, so he yelled at me the same thing. I still didn't listen. Then he crawled on top of me and held me down. I hated when he would do this... but Blake would always find me in time and save me... but this time was different. Alex kept softly kissing my skin, I shivered with every kiss. I wanted to scream again for Blake. But Alex knew it and kissed my lips hard to the point where he bit me, it hurt and I knew my lip was going to be bleeding. He backed away slightly, I looked into his eyes and they were no longer a soft blue... they were silver. I thought it was just the terrible lighting or my position... but they were glowing silver.
Within a second, my vision was blurred. The window broke and I could see a fuzzy outline of a massive black thing, it looked really fluffy... but I couldn't see what it was. Then I heard the door open and was lifted off the bed and taken up another flight of stairs to a different room, I was set down gently on another bed, except this one was a waterbed and I sank into it. I opened my mouth to speak, but I was shushed "Blay, Don't speak. Your lips are bleeding" Blake's gentle voice was the only noise I heard.
I still couldn't see very well, but I tried to sit up, yet was pushed back down "Excuse me" my voice wanted to fill with anger "Shut up, I already told you not to speak" his tone was harsh but he didn't mean to be rude about it. Blake wiped a washcloth gently over my lips, removing any blood that was still leaking. "Now hold it there and keep pressure on it." He moved one of my hands to place over the small towel. I did as he said and held it there just to not make him anymore upset than he already was.
Blaya held the washcloth while watching the Male pace back and forth in the room, his expression cold. The sounds of yelling could be heard from the room beneath them. Wanting to speak, the girl removed the small moist, warm cloth from her lips "Blake... What's going on? Is everything ok?" Her voice was as unsteady and shaky as the rest of her body, Blake stopped, his gaze softened "Everything is fine..." he trailed off "I was just worried that you could've gotten hurt... And I can't let you be alone with Alex anymore..."
He walked over and sat next to my trembling body, scared of what might happen to Alex. "Will he be ok..." I jumped at the sound of a loud thud on the rooms door. Blake stood quickly and rushed to the door, he put his hand on the knob, but hesitated to open it. Then he slowly turned the handle and carefully opened the door. Myra and Alex were standing in the door way, Myra pushed her way past Blake and embraced Blaya in a tight hug, Alex grumbled at the girls while Blake just stared at Myra.
"Umm... Myra, are you ok... You don't normally give hugs" the girl gently pushed Myra back and looked into her eyes, trying to make sense of why she hugged her. "Sorry, I was just so worried I saw- I mean heard about what happened. Alex was with you, then some big and powerful creature shot through the window. I'm surprised Alex didn't get hurt from that strange incident. I swore you could have died if Blake didn't get you" Myra stopped and took a breath "Actually, I'm surprised Blake didn't get hurt. He could even have died, oh but phew, you both are just fine as clearly seen seen besides your bleeding but not bleeding anymore lip" the brown eyes girl laughed, a tiny of nervousness in her voice. Blaya continued to stare at Myra, still trying to figure out why she's being so weird "ok then..." Blaya looked to the floor "can we leave the party... I kinda don't want to be here anymore..." she trailed. Myra jumped "yes, yes of course. Let's go right away and go to one of our houses. Whose parents aren't home" Myra looked to the guys.
"Can we go to my house... I kinda want to feel the comfort of my home after so long..." Blaya looked up to meet Blake's gentle but worried gaze
"I thought they sold that place years ago after what happened" Alex asked, his eyes a bit wider than usual "No, they were going to sell it but my brother wouldn't let that happen" everyone gasped "you have a brother?!" They yelled in unison "Yeah... did I not tell y'all" Blaya's eyes widened.
