Song: Monsters- Ruelle

My mom decides that we need to go last minute shopping on Friday. She invites Meagan and Amaya to go with us for a last minute girl's day out. Ashton drives us to the mall and my mom tells him to wait for us in the car along with Atticus. "Boys we will be fine. Please the two of you go get some lunch or do something I will let you know when we are ready to go."

Ashton was fine with the order; however Atticus looks back at her and shakes his head. She quickly stops him before he can say anything. "Atticus you know damn good well that I don't need you watching over us. We will be fine, now go with Ashton."

He huffs and glares back at her. "Fine, but keep your phone on."

"Of course." She turns back to the three of us. "Well let's go shopping. Where shall we go first?"

I blink a few times, fluttering my eye lids. "I'm just here to please you mom, so really where ever you and Meagan want to go that is where we will go." I flash her a smile.

Amaya rolls her eyes in annoyance. I get that she doesn't want to hang out with us but that is just too freaking bad. We go in and out of stores. I buy a pair of boots because I know soon it will be really chilly back in New York. Amaya looks super bored and I know everything that we are looking at she is just not into. I noticed a store across the way and turn to her. "Hey do you want to go to that store over there with me?"

She looks over and then looks back at me with a curious smile. "You really want to go into Hot Topic, you. You sure?"

I smile wickedly, "Hell yeah. Hey mom, Amaya and I are going to go over there and look, if you want you and Meagan go on we will catch up later."

"I think we should stick together, don't you?" She gives Meagan a look. I know we should stick together but really I don't see anything happening to us here at the mall. 

"Mom...I am not a kid and I promise I will keep an eye out on her, besides she is freaking sixteen she is old enough not to have a baby sitter."

I watch as my mom and Meagan look back and forth at each other but then she gives the go ahead. "Fine but we are having lunch in exactly one hour and you better not be late."

"Yes ma'am." I reach for Amaya's arm and pull her into the store. I watch as her face lights up slowly. Half the clothes in here are black. She quickly goes over the rack and starts pulling on different items and then looks back at me with a grateful smile. "Go on try them on."

She hurriedly goes to the dressing room and happens to take forever. When she comes out she puts a few back and holds on to some of them. We pay for the purchases and then leave. I hear her phone go off a few times and she answers the text. She stays on her phone for a good five minutes or so and is smiling the whole time however when she puts it away the smile slowly fades. I don't bother asking who she is talking with because I have a feeling who it is.

We meet back up with our moms on the dot. They chose this little café outside of the food court so we could all sit down and eat in private and not have everyone around us. We order and the food comes out. Amaya's phone goes back off but I guess they don't hear the vibrations from it. I watch as she holds it under the table to text. A few seconds later she looks up. "I need to go to the restroom. I will be right back."

"Ok but you go straight there and back you understand."

She rolls her eyes at her mother and walks off without saying anything. I sit back and listen to the two of them talk. Five minutes go by and she is not back, then ten minutes.

"Do you think she got lost?" Meagan asks my mom while raising her eyebrows in concern.

"Maybe the lines are long you know how it is at the mall."

I keep watching the reactions between the two of them and they keep looking around to see if she is coming or not. I set down my fork. "If it will make you two feel any better I got to go use it anyway so I will be right back."

Meagan smiles up at me. "Thank you Vi, you are so thoughtful."

"No problem." I get up and go to the restroom. I walk in and I don't see her. I bend down to see if I can see her shoes under the stall and she is not in there. I hurry up and do my business and then leave. As I am going back to the table I happen to see her sitting over by the water fountain and she is talking with him. I watch as he places his hand on her hips and pulls her into him to kiss him. I so don't like this guy. I get out my phone and text her.

Violet: You're mom is getting worried.

I watch as she pulls out her phone to look at it. She ignores it at first because she keeps talking to him and then she answers it after a few seconds.

Amaya: Ok be right out!

Violet: Seriously you have two minutes before she comes in there.

I watch her reaction on her face. I'm not sure what they are talking about but he pulls her into him again and kisses her. I wait for him to head back to the table and then I walk over to him.

"Hi...Tank right. Is that what she calls you?" 

He jumps back afraid that I am going to break his nose again. "We were just saying hi nothing more."

"Really because to me it looked like you were kissing and was groping her in public. Look Tank, I just thought maybe you would want to hang out with someone more your age you know."

"I'm in love with Amaya. One day she will be mine." He stares me down, testing me to see if I am going to say anything.

I practically shove my breast up in his face. "Darn I was hoping you were down with a real woman." I lick my lips. I see the horny look in his eyes. He just wants to get fucked by someone. He claims that he loves her but I know the real him, he is just like all the other creeps out there.

"Well what did you have in mind? I mean as long as you are not going to break anymore of my bones you know."

"I have to get back to the girls right now but do you care to go out later tonight. We could meet at Fire and Ice; have a few drinks see where it takes us."

I watch as he licks his lip, anticipating what might take place later. "Sure around eight sound ok."

"Sounds great, maybe I can see if you really are man enough to handle a real woman," I smirk and walk off.

When I get back to the table they are finishing up and Amaya is glaring at me. She doesn't really say anything else the rest of the day. Ashton drops Meagan and Amaya off at their home and then we head home. I run up stairs and take a shower and get dressed to go back out.

When I come down the steps, I have all eyes on me.

"Where are you going off to?" My mom asks right away.

"Out...out with friends." I quickly add. "I thought since I am getting ready to go back to New York it would be good to say bye to a few of them."

"Where are you going?" This time my dad asks.

I roll my eyes. "Fire and Ice...look I will not get wasted besides how can I, you will tell Mark not to give me more than two," I smirk back.

"You know me too well." He smirks, "Try to have fun. Ashton will drive you only because trying to find a place to park will take you forever and you will  have to park too far away."

I don't argue with that. I let him drive me and he lets me out right at the door. I walk in and find a table on the second floor. I watch everyone dance below. I wait till he come and when I see him, I am actually a little surprised that he came. Well guess he doesn't really love her as much as he says he does. I walk downstairs into the crowd and find him. He smiles back at me. I motion for him to come upstairs. He was walking behind me but as we are crossing by the dance floor he grabs my arm and pulls me into him to dance. So I do. I let him place his hands on my hips and I watch how he becomes someone else.

Once the song is over I shake my head and walk off. He follows behind me up the stairs to where it is a little quieter than below. I sit down and he sits across from me. Before I can say anything one of the girls comes by and takes our orders for drinks.

"So I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm not the creep you think I am." He keeps looking me up and down admiring my body. I don't know how many times I gave got him staring at my breast.

I smirk, "You don't know what I think."

The waitress comes back with the drinks. I take a sip of the cocktail and place it back down on the table.

He takes a drink and looks around the room ten back at me. "So tell me, what do you really think of me?"

"I think you know how to manipulate a young girl that you are in love with her when you're not. You just want to get in her pants and I have a feeling you will dump her once she gives out."

"Well you don't know me that well because we have been together plenty of times. I'm just waiting on her to turn eighteen and then we are moving." He takes another sip.

I roll my eyes. "That is like in three years...hell you will be like thirty by then, seriously can't you find someone your own age."

He picks up his beer and downs it. I can tell he is getting irate with me. "Why do you care what she does anyway?"

"Because she is my little cousin and I don't want her getting hurt." Which is not a lie, I hate to see something bad happen to her.

"No one will hurt her."

I shake my head. "Why her?" I ask.

He gets really quite and motions for the lady to come back over with another beer. I watch as he down it like it's nothing.

"So you are in love with her but you are here with me." I look back at him curiously.

"You asked me to come here," he huffs.

"I did didn't I. Do you care to dance again?" I motion to the dance floor.

"What are you really up to? Are you trying to make me cheat on her or something?"

"No not at all. It's called dancing...not fucking."

"Well then, let's go dance." He stands up and reaches out his hand for me to grab. I get down from the bar stool and walk with him to the dance floor. He dances up close to me. We dance through a few songs and then have a few more drinks. Before I know it we are kissing in the hallway close by the restrooms. "You want to get out of here?"

I smile and nod my head.

Within thirty minutes we are back at his place. We get in the door and he has his hands all over me. I don't stop him at first but the moment his hand goes between my legs, I pull away. "I need to use the bathroom."

He stops and looks at me and then points down the hall. "It's the first door on the right."

"Thanks." I tap him on the chest and back away from him. When I get to the bathroom, I relieve myself and then wash my hands. I was not planning on tonight going this way. What the hell is wrong with me? This guy is a creep and so doesn't need to be with Amaya. When I come out of the bathroom he is sitting on the couch. "Whew...thought I was going to die. Anyway, do you mind if I get something to drink?"

"No help yourself, the kitchen is that way." He points to the left behind him.

I make myself at home. I look in the fridge and find two bottles of beer. "Hey you want me to grab you a beer?" I ask him.

"Sure, that would be great," he yells from the living room.

I grab the two bottles and then notice the knife on the counter. I walk back to the living room and reach over the couch to hand him his bottle. "Thanks." He turns it up and takes a long sip as he is brining the bottle back down that is when I do it. I grab him by the head of his hair and jerk it backwards with just enough force to tilt his head back the right way. I take the knife that is in my right hand and bring it to his throat. In seconds he is looking up at me and all I hear is him gurgling up blood. "Why?" he coughs out.

"Because she deserves more."

He doesn't have time to fight back as I stand there and watch the life being taken away from him. Maybe they were right, it does get easier.
