Stuck between two bad boys

I stood there looking at him. What was he thinking? That he would kiss my sister, make me hit him, get us detention and then show up with a box of pizza and carbonated drinks?

I let out a chitter and then looked him dead in his eyes.

“I’m no fool, Devin. Don’t try to act like a good guy. You’re shitty and you have to get out of here.”

“At least let her tell me that to my face. Don’t stop me from apologizing ’cause you want to make me look like the bad guy.”

“Shut the hell up and get out of my house.”

“Get out of my way Xavier.”

“What games are you playing? How did you get so interested in Emily? It’s unreal. I know that and I’ll kill you if you try anything funny.”

I threatened him because I needed him to know I wasn’t going to let him go scot-free if he hurts Emily. We kept exchanging words till I walked out and he came in. He dropped the box of pizza on the chair and heaved.

“Say sorry and get the fuck out.”

I went inside to get Emily but met an empty room and an empty bathroom.

EMILY’S POV

I couldn’t stand both of them. They kept looking for ways to fight themselves and it sucks to be the reason for their feuds all the time.

I stepped out dressed in a short and polo. I saw the meal Xavier prepared and left on the table. I gave a quick smile when I realized it was his way of apologizing. I wasn’t exactly mad at him, I just hated the way he was possessive and always got violent around Devin.

I went out in search of him to thank him but heard voices. The moment I walked into the scene, I saw he was by the doorway with Devin. Devin held a box of pizza and drinks.

Was this a joke? Why did they find it necessary to apologize with food? Hell.

I stood there unnoticed and when their voices got louder I just ran away. I needed some peace and both of them kept doing what they knew how to do best; take my peace!

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to no location in mind. I just wanted to be away from them and that was what I was doing.

When my legs felt shaky from running, I stopped to catch my breath. I slowed down and kept walking. Turning to the familiar building, a flashback of Devin fighting with a bloodied-looking man on the stage filled my head.

I took hesitant steps inside and looked around. The place wasn’t as filled as it was that day. In the latitude, I can hear faint cheering and chanting.

I follow it and it gets louder and rougher until the rock I stand on vibrates beneath. I wanted to catch a glimpse of what was happening so I climbed a small rock.

It looked like a fight was about to start and my heartbeat increased. I got scared all of a sudden when I saw smoke fill the air. I wasn’t this scared the last time because Devin was there…

My thought is interrupted by a huge man calling on me and asking if I was here for a bet.

I swallow my anxiety and brush off my hands. “No.”

“Then get out of there.”

I nodded and walked to the corner instead. I leaned on the wall watching some men gamble and share their glass of distilled whiskey.

Beside me, a man cleared his throat, startling me. I flinched and my lips twitched. “Want to try?”

He was asking if I wanted to try betting and more than ever, I felt the urge to say yes. Xavier wasn’t here to monitor me and Devin wasn’t around to ask me if I was in my right senses.

I gave a quick nod and shoved my hands in my pocket.

“Fuck.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

I wasn’t with my phone and I just realized it. I had nothing on me to bet with. I raised my head back to the man. “Sorry, I’m not with anything.”

“You better not play with me like that, girl.”

The weather suddenly became gloomy and there was an unexpected downpour. The heavy fall of rain caused everywhere to get darker and the noises just kept increasing.

I remained quiet and realized the fight had just started. I couldn’t see anything because of how short I was and the light only reflected in a particular area.

I thought of how stuck I was and needed to get home. “Maybe I should take a taxi,” I thought but immediately debunked the thought when I remembered didn’t have any money on me.

I hastily stormed out, running into the rain. It was so dark and I could hardly see but I needed to get home else I’d be in deep trouble.

My heart began pounding the moment I realized how unsafe it was to be outside at this point. I wiped the raindrop out of my face and continued shivering while walking.

I became overly conscious when I heard footsteps that weren’t mine. I wanted to run but my legs hadn’t recovered yet.

“Stop there.”

My pulse jumped in momentum as I heard the husky voice. My tummy clenched as I confirmed they were referring to me.

The two boys were dressed in a similar black T-shirt and wore a blancava

“I.. Uh… I.”

“What are you doing out so late?”

“I just wanted to-”

Before I could finish my statement he trailed me off.

“Bet of course. Give me the money on you.”

I took some steps back when I figured they were bad guys and I was in some sort of shit.

“Please don’t hurt me.”

He laughed and signaled the other guy to come closer to me. My breathing pace hand increased and I was boiling in fear.

“Get her.”

I opened my mouth to protest, but he clamped his hand over my lips. He shoved me to the corner and looked at my hard nipples that got sensitive from the cold.

“Look whose titties look good,” he smirked and kept his eyes fixated on my boobs.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and turned to my side. I was leaning against an old fence and the other guy stood at the end.

When I saw the chances of escaping I pushed his hands from my body and ran as fast as my legs could take me. I didn’t pause to catch my breath, I kept running till I ran into him and realized he caught up with me.
