The cold wind blew through my hair, it felt nice to finally get some fresh air after being inside with hundreds of people for so long. The back yard was lit up with twinkling lights making it easier for me to scan the backyard. All I could see were couples making out, people dangling their feet in the pool and others smoking cigarettes and chatting. There was no sign of Isabella. Where did she go? I frowned at the thought of my best friend being alone and upset somewhere and on her birthday. I hear chatter on the side of the house, and I go to scope it out to see if it's her. Nope, just some kids smoking weed.
"Awesome party Violet, you want the rest of this joint?" One of the stoner guys asked.
"Thanks, and sure" I grabbed the joint and the two guys went walking off. As I was taking a hit of the joint, it then hit me how wasted I was, and soon to now be twisted after smoking this joint. I felt a little dizzy, so I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall. Feeling the touch of someone poking my shoulder, I opened my eyes. Ugh, him. Why can't he just leave me alone? With out a word, I rolled my eyes and started to walk back towards the house.
"I've been looking all over for you" Scott grabbed my hand
"Here I am, what is it that you want?" This guy is really ruining my buzz right now
"You" yup. I feel almost sober.
"I can't do this right now with you." I quickly grabbed my arm from out his grip. "You had me and I wasn't enough for you. You made that loud and clear when you cheated on me countless of times. Is this a joke?" I started rubbing my temples, hoping that he would just go away.
"I know. But no one came close to making me feel the way you do"
"Cut the bullshit. You only want me because I've moved on and now you can't have me"
"Can't have? There's nothing I can't have" Scott grinned and went in for a kiss.
I gasped and tried to push him away, but with him being stronger than me, and me being under the influence he wasn't budging.
"Stop resisting, I know you've missed me." He moves in closer to me.
"I SAID NO! GET AWAY FROM ME" I screamed trying to break free of him. This only made him angrier and he grabbed my arms pinning them over my head and goes to kiss me on my neck. I closed my eyes not able to look at what was happening to me, tears start falling down my cheek at the feeling of his lips touching my skin.
"Ehem" Scott takes his lips off of my neck and I hear the sounds of bones breaking. My eyes shoot open and I see blood flying in the air, a drunk Scott on the ground, holding his nose, and Riley standing there rubbing his knuckles. Catching my breath, I look on at Riley with tears flowing down my cheeks, I slight small runs across my face from a feeling of nostalgia coming from him saving me. The view of Riley was getting darker and darker I wanted to thank him, but I couldn't get the words out. And then. Darkness.
.................................................................................................
RILEY-
I noticed that Violet had ran off outside and figured this was a perfect opportunity to speak to her alone. The incident in the bathroom and her telling me to pretend it didn't happen was all I could think about the past few days. In the class we had together she barely talked to me, and there was never a moment she didn't have one of her friends or her brothers beside her. I felt like she was trying to avoid me, and I wanted to ask her why.
When I walked outside, these guys that reeked of weed walked inside. I placed my hands in my pocket and looked left and right, but no sign of her. She had to be out here though because her scent was undeniable. Following the trail, she left from her scent, I ended up on the side of her house, and what I see next makes my blood boil; I tighten my fingers into fists. Scott had Violet's hands pinned above her and his face was centimeters away from hers. Maddox was ready to kill him, and so was I.
"I SAID NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Her words were stinging my chest, how could I let her out of my sight? I cleared my throat, distracting Scott and turning his head just in time for me to clock him right in the nose. There was no doubt that I broke it. The sight of his blood gushing out of his nose only made me hungrier for revenge.
"YOU MOTHER FU-"wounding my arm up to get another punch in, I hear the sound of something hard hitting the ground. I'm trembling. Please don't be. I turned around slowly, and I see my mate lying on the ground life less.
"Vi-VIOLET!" I run to my mate's side, I can already hear her heart beating and the sound of her breathing. She must have hyperventilated.
My fingers caressed the side of her soft beautiful face, feeling traces of the tears that flooded down her cheeks. The blood inside of me felt as if it was boiling and I was going to catch on fire. I was ready to kill that guy at any moment, it was tearing him up from the inside out not to rip him apart. I looked back down at her; how can this girl have the power to make me feel this way? Do you know how much you're driving me crazy? I whispered to myself, placing my forehead against hers.
"Ri-riley?" The feeling of eyelashes caressed against my cheek.
I pushed back and her big doe eyes the color of aqua it seemed stared right at me, more tears starting to form.
"Everything's alright now, lets get going-"suddenly my ears were ringing, and blood was spitting from out of my throat.
"You're not going anywhere" Scott kicked him in the head while he was facing away.
Damn, what is going on? How did I not sense him right behind me. I need to start getting my shit together, quick.
"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! LEAVE US ALONE" The sound of Violet pleading brought me back to reality. Closing my eyes, I started chuckling profusely. Violet's cries quickly became silent. My laughs getting louder and louder.
"What's so funny? Me kicking your ass?" Scott joked sarcastically
Crouching on one knee, I wiped away blood from my mouth, my eyes flew open. Everything went silent, and I pounced. Both our bodies went flying through the fence. All I see is red and my fists wont stop beating down. At this point I didn't know if it was my blood or his drooping down my face. Maddox howling telling me to rip him to shreds. I can feel myself losing control. Right then, arms embraced me from behind and all the negative energy inside of me came spewing out.
"Please Riley, please stop. He isn't worth it. Please let him go and let's get out of here" Her head was on my back, arms still wrapped around me, and my shirt was getting damp from her tears. She was right, I needed to stop before I did something that put her, myself, and my pack in danger. I turned myself around and comforted her. Scott limped himself up onto his feet, blood covering his body.
"This isn't over." He spat out more blood and walked out the gate from her backyard.
