Chapter 8 - Busted (part 2)

I got home as quickly as I could, trying to process what the hell had just happened. My mind was reeling, a lot that he had said was true, but I so badly wanted it to be untrue I so badly wanted to be the normal girl that I was portraying, the safe girl that everyone had come to know. I stood with my back to the front door trying not to burst into tears. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that the sudden banging on the front door made me jump, thinking that it may be Lucis I pulled the door open

"WHAT-" I stared but fell silent when I saw Greg standing there. "Greg" I sounded a bit too surprised

"expecting someone else?" he bit

"what no-"

"so you just opened the door enthusiastically because you knew it was me'

'what are- "

"where is he" Greg's voice boomed

"where is who?" I asked but Greg pushed his way into the house "Greg what is wrong with you"

"don't play where is he?"

"Greg who?" I tried taking his hand but he shook me off as quickly as he had just touched something slimy

"Matthew saw the two of you by the coffee shop, mind telling me what you were doing there with another guy"

"Matthew, what? Greg nothing happened we were just talking

"kissing another guy is not just talking" Greg shouted

"Greg that's not what happened-"

"so you didn't kiss?"

"well-" I could feel anger boiling up as Greg cut me off again

"you didn't jump into his lap and start sucking the guys face in the middle of public?"

"Greg I-"

"you are most defiantly your father's daughter"

"would you just shut up for a second and listen to me, he kissed me I didn't go there with the intention of it happening, I didn't even know it was Lucis-"

"Lucis, you made out with LUCIS?"

"I did-"

"you wanted a new adventure, do it without me I am not sticking around and waiting for you while you go around screwing other guys" he turned and walked towards the door, putting his hand into the jean pocket and pulling out a small box and chucking it at me.

"Greg stop!" he stopped in the doorway his face engrossed in a rage "I didn't do anything, I left as soon as things went weird, I-"

"you what Lilith? What lie can you possibly come up with a whole coffee shop saw you, multiple people and you want to stand there like you were the victim, sounded like you were enjoying it a bit too much for me to believe that you were just there to talk, is that where you went the other day? To be with him. Your stupid friend was at the mall with a surprising lack of books, and you nowhere in sight. Care to explain?" I went dead silent there was no way I could explain where I was that day because Lucis was in the same spot, he turned and started to walk away

"Greg no, please," I said going to touch his arm

"Don't touch me" he said pulling away from my hand and storming away

"GREG!" I called out from behind him but he didn't even glance in my direction. I looked at the small box in my hand, opening it to find a ring fixed to a red gem glittering back at me. The tears I had been holding back seemed to break through the dam wall and ran uncontrollably.

I was the perfect picture of the sad lonely girl that just got dumped while I lay on my bed holding the small box in my hand, my phone had been going crazy all day but I didn't bother to check it. I kind of just wanted the silence to eat me up and make me disappear.

I saw my phone light up again and with a hell of a lot of effort I got up enough to reach over for it. Most of the messages where people trying to get the scoop of the big breakup, others were asking about rumors that had already started flying around. I threw my phone to the foot of the bed and took out my laptop, going through old photos and videos that I had saved on it.

NEW EMAIL

I didn't recognize the address but opened it anyway

[DARK]: I heard

I quickly guessed thought I knew who it was and sent a reply

[LIL]: This is your fault you know that right?

Can you just leave me alone? You have done enough

[DARK]: Have I? you don't see the good my little Demon?

You are free to change your life, free to do as you please my little Demon

[LIL]: that's the kind of tomfoolery that has me in this situation. I am not yours.

[DARK]: Not yet

I sat and stared at the reply, unsure of what I was feeling. I needed to tell this jerk off but for some reason, my finger would not allow me to type out the words that would end this conversion at once

[DARK]: I know your thoughts and desires, I know what you need little demon and I can give them to you, he can't.

[LIL]: you can't you don't even know me

[DARK]: Then why are you sitting on the bed talking to me when you could be out trying to fix what was broken. Why is he out having the time of his life while you lay on your bed miserable?

[DARK]: Come to me little demon.

Nope, this shit wasn't going to happen again I closed my laptop and put it under my bed covering my face with a pillow as I laid back down, no, no, no!

A glowing light seemed to intrude on my sleep, I slowly opened my eyes to see the screen of my phone was on, I must have touched something in my sleep that caused it to open. I picked up the phone and a stabbing pain hit my chest, pictures of Greg out and parting were all over the screen of my phone, I began to scroll through the pictures getting more and more upset as I went, he seemed to over the whole thing and made a show of by kissing a different girl in every photo. I looked at the time. It was only 9:30 pm. I laid the darkness for what felt like an eternity. I pulled out my laptop from under the bed.

[LIL]: where?

I waited a while before he answered, long enough that I had started to bite around my fingers again, wondering if I was ready to do this? Was I going to do this was another thing that kept going through my mind? No. I had to send a message back and tell him that I changed my mind,

Ping

Crap… too late

[DARK]: It's in your bag

My bag? What is? Annoyed I got up and started to look for my bag, dumping out the contents of it on the bed. It was mostly old recites and random lipstick items, keys… what in the hell did he mean it was in my… a gleam of colors caught my eye, there sitting in the middle of the bed was a CD case. I picked it up and looked at the name on the CD within. oh alright, fine, I'll
