Hell, He Wrote

Chapter 5

"He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well."

**Tyson's POV**

I turned around, looking for something-but not knowing what. I was alone. No, there was something breathing. I could hear it. I followed the noises, not questioning why my feet were walking at their own accord.

I was surrounded by woods where shadows overlapped each other, creating threatening shapes. I paid no attention to the shadows, however, as I sped up. This thing breathing... it had to be what I was looking for. It all made perfect sense.

As if realizing that I was right behind it, the thing began moving at a steady jog. I began sprinting. My breathing became labored and my vision blurred. I was catching up, so I ran even faster.

I saw a silhouette, gliding through the trees. I made a small grunt as I lunged forward and caught it by the leg. I moved on top of it, using my entire body to hold it down. It was then that I smelled the tangerine.

Oh god.

I could see her perfectly from this angle. Noelle. Her blonde hair splayed across the ground, somehow avoiding the leaves and dirt that clung to my own hair. Her face glowed like a beacon, making it impossible to look away. I could feel her body under me, and suddenly my hold on her was sensual. I moaned as I felt myself become hard, and watched her eyes widen as she felt the movement against her leg.

She was so small under me, looking up helplessly. Any illusion of innocence was marred by the "fuck me" look in her eyes. She shifted under me, creating friction between our bodies. Her breathing came out faster as she pressed against me. I groaned loudly, taking both her arms and pinning her to the ground.

"What do you think you're doing?" She whispered, amusement dancing in her eyes.

The sound of her voice further aroused me. I leaned down and placed a small kiss on her neck, enjoying the tiny shiver that passed down her body. "Kissing you" I said before moving in for a longer kiss. Her back arched up and her eyes closed.

"Mmm, please don't stop" She pleaded. I began tugging her shirt up, never taking my lips off her neck.

"Believe me, I don't plan to."

She raised her arms up in defeat, a sly smile playing across her face. My eyes zoned down on the edge of her shirt as it began rising. I was just about to reveal...

"Ah!" I shouted as my alarm sounded, effectively ending the dream. "Fuck!" I shouted in frustration, throwing a pillow at my alarm. Why couldn't it wait five minutes? Hell, I would've been happy with thirty seconds!

I tensed when I heard a small chuckle coming from beside my door. "Having a good dream?"

I looked up in bewilderment, and jumped when I saw my brother.

"Ralph! What the hell are you doing here?" I ran over and hugged him like a small child, not caring how odd I must look. He hugged me back with the same amount of enthusiasm, laughing at my response.

"You didn't think I could stay away from you forever, did you?"

I was about to respond when everything hit me again. I pulled away, no longer smiling. He saw the change on my face, and frowned. His expression became guarded and after a moment he responded. "I would explain everything, but I need to leave in a few minutes. I'll be back in a few weeks, though. When I come back, I'll be here for good... I promise."

"What the hell is that supposed to even mean? You run away from home, come back a year later, and expect everything to be the same? You think I'm even the same person?" I ground out, throwing my arms up in disbelief. The room filled with the same thick tension that'd surrounded my brother the last time he was standing here.

"Listen, you have every right to be mad-"

"Like hell I do! How dare you come here to tell me you're leaving again!"

His expression became softer. "Is that what you think I'm doing?"

"I KNOW you're doing that" Venom dripped off each word, and Ralph visibly flinched. I couldn't help but notice how much he'd changed over the past year. His raven black hair-the opposite of mine-had grown out. He had a light aftershave, making him look much older.

"Please-I'm so sorry. I wish I could stay, but I have some things I need to take care of first. I wish I could truthfully say that I'm sorry for coming here today, but I can't. I'm so happy to see you again."

I looked up, surprised by the sincerity in his voice. He really had grown up a lot since I'd last seen him.

"I'm sorry to say this... but goodbye, little brother" He smiled sadly before leaving my room. I listened as his old car shuttered to life and rattled down the street.

I just stood there, replaying the conversation in my head. Was it just a coincidence that he came back when I decided to get revenge on the girl who ruined his life? It was surreal that after not seeing him for so long, he just appeared in my room.

I glanced down at my watch. School started in an hour. I quickly showered, dressed, and ran downstairs to eat breakfast. I retrieved a piece of charred toast from the toaster and hurried out the door.

Chris was waiting for me in my driveway, so I climbed into his flashy yellow convertible.

"Hey" I said automatically.

"Hey"

He was quiet, which was a first. I didn't mind, though, since it gave me time to think about Ralph's unexpected visit. We were about a block away from school when Chris pulled over and unlocked the doors.

"Out. I can't be seen with you."

I looked over at him in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten already? We can't hang out at school in case Noelle sees us or something. Besides, if she talks to people who know that we're friends then we're screwed. It's best just to have the whole school think we're on the outs."

"So you're making me walk to school?" I scoffed.

"Give me a break-I drove you most of the way. Get out before someone we know drives by and sees us together." He was enjoying this far too much.

I couldn't argue with his logic, however, and was forced out of the car. He sped off the second I closed the door, leaving me cold and wet on the sidewalk. There would be hell to pay for this.

My breathing became labored as I thought of Noelle. I was an idiot for not remembering that there was a very real chance that we may run into each other. Hell, I may even plan for us to run into each other.

"Do you need a ride?"

That voice! No... it couldn't be. It couldn't be that easy.

"Um, Tyson?"

I turned around and could only drink her in. Her eyes, her hair, always her lips. It had to be illegal to have such kissable lips. She wore light pink lip gloss, much to my anguish. How could she expect me not to kiss her with that lip gloss!

"Did you hear me?" She sounded worried.

"Sorry, what?" I realized that she was sitting in her little red car, which purred softly as she stuck her head out the window.

"I asked if you needed a ride. I saw you just standing here and I know there's no way you can walk to school and get there on time," She smiled shyly before adding, "and there's more then enough room in here."

I had to admit, I was surprised. Not only was she standing here in her full, sexy glory, but now she was trying to convince me to get into her car. After last Friday, it was much more then I had even dared to hope for. I didn't want to question it, I decided quickly. It doesn't matter why-it just matters that it is.

"That would be perfect" I said after a short pause. She grinned in response. She seemed so happy, and I wondered if she was just doing this to get her revenge on me. My heart went cold at the thought, and the change must've shown on my face because her smile shrunk considerably.

Neither of us mentioned it though, and she opened the passenger door to let me in.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

She turned up the radio to some electronic pop song that I'd never heard before revving up the engine.

I couldn't formulate a coherent thought as her scent filled the car. I was grateful that she didn't try to start up a conversation, because at that moment I had trouble remembering my own name.

After a short trip, Noelle parked the car and unlocked the doors to let me out. Much to my dismay, students were already piling into the school. I guess Noelle and I wouldn't be catching up before we had to go to our first class.

"Thank you so much. If there was some way I could thank you..."

Noelle smile was purely feminine as she put one hand up to my cheek. "Don't worry about it-I'll think of a way for you to repay me."

I couldn't muster up a smile in response. Once again her smile faded as she studied my reaction. She was coming on to me really strong, which could only mean that this was all an act. I deserved this, I realized. I'd lost sight of the end goal-pulverizing Noelle.

"I'll talk to you later" I stormed inside, not even daring to look back. I needed to have a plan. Noelle thought that she could seduce me, but I could be just as cutthroat as she. If she was hell-bent on hurting me, then I'd just have to beat her to the punch.

**PLEASE please PLEASE comment and vote. It would mean the world to me! I promise to write the next part in the next few days if you do... and I'll have some Noelle/Tyson seduction attempts to spice things up. (;**
