Demon Beside Me

Chapter 9

Something I don’t need right now

As I laughed the wind caught onto my hair making it go all over my face and I had to grab it before it went into my mouth.

What was it about this city and this stupid wind?!

“Let me help you.” Krad smirked and pulled my hair behind my ear and his hand glace across my cheek this made me want to lean into his hand.

I stared at his face and saw that he was still smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him.

“Why are you smirking at me?” I continued then laugh at how my voice sounded so weird. He just pulled me off of the field.

He led me back to the fount of the school building. I noticed that it was quiet outside. Most of the students had already left and only a few where walking around trying to get to their cars. They didn’t seem to notice me or Krad lucky. I didn’t understand why people were still even here, but cared to little to focus more on it.

“Do you need to get home anytime soon?” He asked all of a sudden when he turned to me his eyes looking at me with an intense emotion. “I would hate to keep you out to late.”

I fought back a smile. I knew by his tone that he wanted to keep me out late and I loved that. He could keep me out as late as he wanted.

But I didn’t tell him that.

“No, it’s Friday so no school tomorrow. I can stay out as long as I want.” I grinned when I saw his eyes darken. “Well until my curfew that is.”

“Good.” He began and ribbed my hand with his thumb. “Let’s do something, fun.”

He pulled me to him and my chest hit his firm muscular chest. I almost let out a breath. His eyes looked down at me and I looked away from him.

What was this handsome guy doing to me?

I looked back at him and frowned trying to act as if he was annoying me.

“Krad, just because I don’t have to be home early doesn’t mean that I don’t want to go home.” I told him with a light smile. I watched as he frowned at me. Man it was like he wanted to spend very second with me. I found that nice, but I didn’t want him to think that I was becoming needy. I wanted him to think I did have a life outside of him so he wouldn’t think that I was too much involve with him. Guys that like good like him hated stuff like that. “Come on Krad how about we meet up later after I talk to my mom. I bet she would at least want me to tell her I am going out.” I reasoned and even kissed his lips lightly trying to make him agree with me.

“Call her.” His voice sounded irritated for some reason and I didn’t like that. I didn’t understand why he was acting like that. I knew he had other things to do than spend his time with someone like me.

No one wanted to be around me other than my family and even all of them didn’t want to be around me. Well now fake people at school who felt they should be nice to me now where around me, but that is only because I am the new Queen Bee..

I was about to respond that I didn’t want to call her, but thought it was a stupid come back and I knew he would know I was lying. I wanted to spend all my time with him for some odd strange reason.

He was becoming like my rock or something. It was like I was able to tell him anything and he wouldn’t judge me for it. Knowing this made me feel good. I honestly loved being around him, but couldn’t let him know that.

Krad couldn’t honestly feel the same way for me. He was to perfect, handsome, great to ever want to be around me all the time.

His eyes stared into mine and I couldn’t tell what they were saying to me. It was almost as if he was trying to tell me something but was fighting to say the words.

I stared at him thinking he was acting different. I don’t know why I thought that but something made me think he was a little off right now. He was mad at me or something I guess, but I was too fearful of what that maybe to even ask him.

He had never been so what’s the word….

“I’ll drive you home.” He said all of a sudden pulling me from my thoughts. He did that a lot. I thought quickly. “There is something I have to do.”

“Oh so now you don’t want to do anything with me.” I said laughing at his mood swings and hating myself for not just letting him take me somewhere.

“There are a lot of things I want to do to you.” He grinned looking at me with lust in his eyes. This made me roll my eyes, but I was happy to see that he was no longer mad at me. “But I have to wait until everything is finish.”

“What do you mean everything is finished?” I asked moving my hair from my face.

“I’ll give you a ride.” He said and before I could ask again he kissed me quickly on the lips and I didn’t even ask after that.

We both walked to his bike and he helped me on.

I rode on the back of his motorcycle quietly. I held onto him tightly not wanting to let go for even a second, but he soon pulled up to my house and I sighed when he got up only to help me off of the bike.

Frowning I watched as he got back on his bike and smiled at me.

“I’ll be back later to see you.” He stated looking ahead of him. I frowned wishing for a second time that I had never told him that I didn’t want to do something with him.

“So what time is later?” I asked truly hoping he meant later on tonight.

“Well leave your door unlocked and you’ll see.” He licked his lips looking at me and I could see that lust clearly written in those beautiful eyes of his.

I began to blush at him and turned my head.

“Bye Diamond.”

I turned to say bye back but he had already driven off.

My eyes watched his bike until it was no longer in sight and I folded my arms wishing they were still around Krad beautiful muscular body.

I walked up the path to my house and then I took my key out then put it in the lock and opened the door so I could walk into the house. I looked around after I closed the fount door with a slight frown on my face. I wanted nothing more than to go and do something with Krad, but maybe me coming back was for the best.

Thinking about it with what happened to Kate my mom would really want me to be home and not out so late.

Walking into the living room I saw that my mom and step father where kissing each other.

“Please go to the bedroom with all of that stuff.” I said shaking my head.

My mom and Henry stopped kissing. She began to fix her new hair cut moving her hands throughout her hair.

“Was school ok?” She asked with her green eyes clearly written with care.

“It was nice.” I answered her then bit my bottom lip something Kate hated to see me or anyone do.

I could still hear Kate saying: Don’t do that.

“That’s great. Do you want to eat or anything? I am cooking your favorite.” She said getting up and I saw my step father eyes watch her with a smile on his face.

“Just tell me when it’s done. I am going to my room.”

“Ok dinner should be ready in like an hour or so.” Mom said then added. “Check on your sister make sure she is ok. She is in her room also text your brother about dinner.”

“Ok.”

“Minnie did anything nicehappen at school?” Henry said to me just as I turned to walk away from them to go to my room.

“Not really.” I said continuing to walk up to my room.

When I got up to my room I remembered that I had to check on my sister. I walked down to her room as I texted my brother to be home in like an hour for dinner then opened the door only to see that she was playing with her dolls.

I smiled at her and she looked up at me her eyes sparkling.

“Min-ie.” She yelled and got up to run to hug me close to her. “Play dollies.”

“I’ll play for a little bit ok.” I told her and walked over to play with her.

I felt my phone vibrate and saw that my brother had just text me back saying ok.

We played for like a half hour with her being the mom and me being the dad. She let me drive the car for her dolls.

I liked playing with her. She reminded me of how I was before I grew up. Amanda was so innocent, so sweet and pretty. I just knew that she would soon grow up and be just like Kate was.

The Queen Bee.

I knew I had thought this kind of stuff before, but every time I saw her like this I sometimes just could not help thinking about it.

Our mother was, the poplar girl in school maybe that was why she hated how I dressed and that I didn’t have many friends or never had a boyfriend at my old school.

Maybe that was why she was happy when she first meant Kate, Mindy, and Stephenie. It was like she knew that they were the popular kids and she was so happy I was friends with them.

She must have thought that if I was friends with them then I would be popular and have a boyfriend finally.

I knew that by the time she was my age she had tons of boyfriends in fact she had tons of boys always asking to go out with her.

I knew my mom was very happy to have Amanda as a daughter. She was the kind of daughter that she had dreamed she would have when she was younger. The kind of daughter that was just like her-the kind of daughter who would be Prom Queen.

My mom now had everything she wanted. The prefect husband who loved her, the prefect son who was a jock, and the perfect daughter who would be popular by true nature not like how I became ‘popular’.

“Min-ie, lin-sion.” Amanda wined moving her girl doll in my face. “Her talk-ken.”

“Sorry, Amanda.” I smiled at her.

My phone began to vibrate just as Amanda opened her mouth. I picked up the phone and saw that Amanda was now putting her bottom lip out.

“I’m sorry Amanda. I’ll play later, promise.” I told her reading my phone screen only to see Mindy name.

“Hey Mindy.” I said as I walked out of my sister room, knowing she would be mad at me only for a few seconds.

“Nothing much just wondering what happened with you and Jake.” Mindy stated quickly and I just shook my head. I walked into my room and closed my door.

”Nothing really Mindy I told him that I had to do something with you which I know I didn’t.” I said jumping on my bed.

“Why did you lie?” Mindy asked and I thought I heard some kind of hope in her tone.

“Well you know that I do like Jake.” I told her not paying much attention to her tone. “But I just had other things to do.”

“What? You can tell me.” She squeaked.

I just knew she was smiling right now. She made me want to laugh. I couldn’t believe how honest her tone was, like she really did want to know what I had did.

“You know after what happened with Kate, I just wanted to go home.” I lied.

I wasn’t ready to tell her about Krad. I decided. I really liked him and wanted nothing more than to tell the world that I was with him, but I wasn’t too sure how he felt about me, so I would have to wait.

“I understand. Kate was really great. I hope she finally has some peace you know.”

“I hope so to.” I said hoping she would move on from this conversation.

“So do you still like Jake or what?” She said and I for some reason thought she had her finger in her hair.

I was glad she moved on but I didn’t feel like talking about my feelings for Jake. I mean I still found him attractive and may have even still liked him, but Krad seemed to be slowly but surely taking the spot of Jake in my heart.

“I don’t know. I told him I would talk to him later and such.”

“Maybe he will call you later.” Mindy shyly told me as if she was holding something back.

“He doesn’t have my number.” I said and then the line went quite. “Mindy he doesn’t have my number right?”

“He called me just before I called you.” She explained quickly then added. “That’s why I was asking about what happened between the two of you when I left you and him alone. He kept asking questions about you and what not. Then he asked for your number and I didn’t know what to say. I mean he had never asked about you so much before.”

“You said yes didn’t you?” I asked already knowing she did. She thought that last sentence would throw me off I knew.

“I’m sorry. You like him…..so it’s ok right?” Mindy shyly let out as if she was waiting for me to snap on her. “Please don’t hate me. I just can’t seem to say no to that boy when he talks to me in that great voice of his. Not saying that I am paying much attention or anything to his voice.” She laughed nervously.

“No, Mindy its fine. I’m not mad. Just next time tell the person no and to ask me if they want it.” I said slowly trying to make her understand me.

“I will promise.” I could tell she was smiling now. “I am happy you are not mad at me.”

“I wouldn’t get mad off of something like that.” I told her lying.

If she had given my number to someone like Amy or Britney I would be furious, but Jake wasn’t at all bad. I would have given him my number if he had asked. I wonder why he didn’t.

“Are you going to the funeral?” I soon heard Mindy ask after a few moments of silence.

“I didn’t even think about it.” I honestly replied. “Her parents have already made the arrangements, huh.”

“Yes. Her mom said that she just wanted to hurry it up, because she can’t even think about her daughter right now. She is so sad Minnie. I have never seen her like this, not even after she told my mom her husband was having an affair was she this sad. She was over here just crying away. I think Kate was really all she had.”

I could hear the tears that I knew where about to fall down Mindy face. I don’t know how I heard them when you couldn’t hear tears but as I heard them, I wanted to cry myself.

Krad had said Kate got what she deserved and not to blame myself.

I needed him right now. I was going to break without him here to keep me together. I needed his strong arms around me telling me to grow up or something. Even when he is being harsh I still like him so much.

“Mindy I am sure it is going to be ok. Everything is going to be fine. You’ll see.” I tried my best to make her see it would be ok but at the same time I tried to see my own words as being true. “Kate always said crying is bad for the skin. Too much salt in it remember.”

She laughed at my words. “Right. How do you know I’m crying? Right you do know me.”

“Yes I know you.”

“You know I never thought I would miss her this much.” My eyes went wide at that. I was surprised at her for being so honest. “I mean I loved her in a weird way and all but I never thought I would miss her like this. Miss the teasing and what not.”

I don’t. The thought came through my mind sharply.

There was a knock on my door that made me jump slightly.

“What one minute Mindy, ok.”

“Ok.”

I got up out of my bed and walked to the door to open it only to see my mom standing there with her lips in a straight line.

“Dinner ready.” I said. “Mindy I’ll call you back ok.”

I hated to admit it but I was kind of happy that my mom had come up here to tell me that. I didn’t want to stay on the phone with Mindy if we were going to talk about Kate.

“Ok, bye.”

I closed my cell phone and saw that my mom hadn’t moved from her spot.

“Mom I’m coming down.”

“That’s not it.”

“Dinners not done?”

“No….I mean yes it’s done, but.” She sighed and shook her head.

“Then what is it? I told you I was ok.”

Moms are always worrying over their children. I laughed in my head.

She said my name and looked down.

Hearing my name on her lips made me get pulled to attention. I knew something was wrong. Whenever she said my real name it’s couldn’t be good.

“What is it mom?”

“Bill just called.” She said looking up at me and I nearly passed out for I hadn’t heard my father name in years and he hadn’t called me in years either or even came to see me.

I just rolled my eyes and walked away from her to go to Amanda room, which would be my safe place for right now.

Bill I didn’t want to think about him right now. I had too much to think about as is.

My mom said my name again and I just shook my head not wanting to hear what she had to say.
