Chapter 2: Making A Deal With Satan's Three Children
"Love you mom," I hang up the phone and continue brushing my straight dark brown hair.
I quickly open my bathroom door and face my room. I already unpacked all of my clothes and even hung a few portraits on the wall to make the room look like it actually belongs to me.
The first time I saw it I was pleased with it. The walls are a plain bright white and at the center of the room is a full sized white bed, which reminds me that I need to buy bed sheets. Directly in front of the bed is a large window and if you open it you can sit down on the roof facing the front yard.
To the right side of the bed is a black desk that I can do homework on. I already placed a framed picture of me and my sister laughing at the camera.
It's my favorite picture of us.
To the left of the bed is my closet. If you open the door you can step inside, but it's only big enough for one person.
The bathroom is on right side of the bed next to my desk. I quickly make my way out and towards the closet to choose my outfit. I grab a simple blue and white sundress with some white sandals and throw it on.
Then I go to my restroom mirror and look at myself thinking of whether I should put makeup on or not.
Maybe just a little.
I pull out a concealer to cover my dark bags surrounding my large brown eyes. Then I curl my lashes before putting on some mascara. Finally, I grab some clear lipgloss and apply it on my small pink lips.
Taking a hold of my black backpack and cellphone I run downstairs.
"JOSH," Vinny yells as I make my way into the kitchen.
"Hey Elliana," Alex smiles as he leans against the kitchen counter shirtless.
Holy mother of hell.
He's gorgeous.
"Hi," I say while grabbing a mug and filling it with coffee trying my best not to look over at him.
"Are you done avoiding us?" Josh asks as he walks into kitchen also shirtless.
So it's been an entire week since I moved in and I wasn't avoiding them. I was just trying my best not to talk to them, but right at this moment, they are making that extremely difficult.
"I wasn't avoiding anyone," I reply while putting bread in the toaster and concentrating on it to avoid looking at their naked bodies.
"Josh, did you take twenty dollars out of my wallet?" Vinny asks his face filled with anger.
"No," Josh shakes his head. "I didn't take them I simply borrowed them."
"Give them back," Vinny glares at him and I roll my eyes.
Why can't they just get along?
"Nope," Josh says popping the p. "I'll pay you back at the end of the week."
"Alex, can I see your wallet?" Vinny asks taking advantage of the fact that Alex's distracted on his cell phone.
"Yeah sure," he says not looking up from his screen.
"Thanks," Vinny grabs the wallet from the counter and takes out twenty dollars. "You owe Alex twenty now."
"What?" Alex looks up realizing what just happened. "I need that money, Vincent."
"Tell Josh that," Vinny says walking out of the kitchen.
"I want my money by tomorrow," Alex says glaring at Josh.
"Fuck," the both jump when the toast comes flying out of the toaster and I chuckle.
"Finally," I smile grabbing my toast.
"Do you need a ride to school?" Alex asks holding his keys up at me.
"Nope," I reply popping the p. "I have other things to do before school."
I have to go to craptastic support group.
"What do you have to do?" Josh questions.
"That's for me to worry about," I shove my toast in my mouth and make my way out the kitchen.
***
Apparently, the support group is for all types of people. From drug addicts to alcoholics to depressed human beings.
I'm in the depressed category only I'm not depressed. Sad, yeah, but depressed no.
"Why don't you start by telling us your name and why you're here?" The instructor says smiling at me and another guy.
"My name is Pipper Stewart and I'm an ex-junkie," the guy smiles. "I use to do cocaine."
He's a skinny tall guy with medium dark skin and dark brown eyes as well as big brown bouncy curls paired with large round glasses.
"What about you?" The instructor says looking directly at me.
"My name is Elliana Bair," I introduce myself "and I'm here because my sister died six months ago in a car crash."
"Hello Pipper and Elliana," everyone says simultaneously and It makes me want to giggle.
"They're like puppets," Pipper whispers at me and I chuckle.
"I'm here," some guy runs in breathing heavily.
"Late as always Mickey," the instructor says shaking his head. "Introduce yourself."
"My name is Mick Brews," he takes a seat next to me. "I'm here because I'm an alcoholic."
"Hi Mick," we all say and I can't help, but look over at Pipper and laugh.
"So Elliana you're new in town," the instructor smiles "what brings you here?"
"My parents thought I needed to get away from everything after my sister died," I say. "So I left Colorado for the sunny beaches of California."
"What about you Pipper? "
"Oh I'm not new in town," he says "but I decided to join this support group because I almost OD a few months back."
"Well I'm glad you all somehow made your way here," the instructor smiles. "Now let's start with some exercises."
***
"I'm Pipper Stewart," he walks up to me as I'm about to start making my way towards the school "but you already know that."
Pipper reminds me of some kind of mixture between a hippy and a surfer with his elongated words and his way of walking that looks like he hops every time he takes a step.
"Nice to meet you Pipper," I extend my hand out towards him and he shakes it. "I'm Elliana Bair."
"Bair," he smiles, "I think I'm going to call you that."
"We're making nicknames already," I laugh. "Fine, I get to call you pipes."
"So Bair," he gestures towards his motorcycle. "want a ride to school?"
"I don't have a helmet," I shake my head "besides I can't go anywhere with you. What if you're a serial killer?"
"Not all junkies are criminals," he frowns looking away and I immediately feel terrible.
"That's not what I meant," I start saying, but he begins to chuckle.
"Your face was priceless," he laughs and I push him.
"Not funny," I laugh. "I really thought I had been a total bitch."
"I got a helmet," Mick says making his way towards us.
"Thanks, Mick," Pipper takes a hold of it before handing it to me. "What do you say, Bair?"
Why not?
"You better not kill me Pipes," I put the helmet on.
***
We make our way into the school parking lot and I can't help, but smile.
Who knew riding a motorcycle could be so fun?
"Enjoy the ride, Bair?" Pipper asks as we get off the motorcycle.
"Very much pipes," I smile. "Thanks for the ride."
"So this is what you had to do?" a familiar voice asks and I immediately recognize it. "Go hang out with the town junkie."
"I didn't know that what I did was any of your business," I say facing Vinny.
"It's cool Bair," Pipper glares at Vinny. "I'll just see you around."
"Okay Pipes," I nod and he walks away making his way to the front of the school.
"He's bad news," Vinny says.
"What I do or who I hang out with is none of your business," I say through gritted teeth "So keep your unwanted opinion to yourself."
"What's going on?" Alex says as he and Josh make their way towards us.
"Elliana here made friends with the town's bum," Vinny tells them his intense green eyes never leaving mine as we glare at each other.
"Pipper," Josh says surprised. "He's nothing, but trouble Elliana."
"Last time I saw him he was trying to buy my pee," Alex laughs.
"He's a great guy," I defend him. "Unlike you guys."
"Does Elliana have a crush on him?" Josh smirks and I roll my eyes.
"No," I state. "He's just the only person that's actually been kind to me since I got here."
"Good," Vinny says, a smug look on his face. "Everyone knows you're going to fall for one of us."
"Absolutely not," I spit out.
"They all eventually end up falling," Alex adds and I smirk.
"Not me."
"Are you saying you're not going to fall for any of us?" Josh joins.
"Yes."
"We should make this interesting," Vinny talks "if you fall for one of us, that one gets to bang you."
"No," I shake my head.
"Are you scared?" Josh mocks me.
"Never," I answer with a straight face.
"Then what do you have to lose?" Alex asks as they all extend their hands out towards me, a confident smug look on all their faces and it infuriates me.
"Fine," I shake each and every one of their hands.
What the hell did I just get myself into?
