Chapter 18: Hey Yourself

Kevin's POV:

"Kid wake up. Now." Manny commanded. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He didn't look at me. He just picked up my clothes from last night. "Manny can we talk?" I asked. He walked out and slammed the door. I sighed. "Guess not." I said. I got up, showered, and got dressed. They were totally on my was today. They must still be upset over my situation with Angel. Randy? Randy? What? What's with the attitude? Our beloved is gone and its because of you. Randy not you too man. Ugh fine. Act like a baby. See if I care. I went downstairs. I made eye contact with my dad but I quickly looked away.

Manny and them did not look at me. Wow. They're really mad. I felt hands on my shoulders. Not now. Manny looked over at me but walked away outside. I got up and ran outside with him. I got in the car and waited. They came out and we drove off. No one spoke a word. I looked over at Tyler. Even he was upset. We pulled up and got out. We walked inside and I met Charlotte. Everyone started talking about us. I even had friends I didn't see in a while talk to me. It was nice to be talking to people again. Then a scent hite. Vanilla. Angel. I walked out to see her and Kacey go in the bathroom. Charlotte went too. I waited for her. Angel came out and bumped into me. She glared at me. Everything rumbled. She's gonna get us caught. Kacey dragged her away. I went to my class. I seen Zane but he was smirking.

I sat next to him. "And just why are you smirking?" I asked. "Me and Angel had a good time last night. She's a freak dawg." He said. My blood boiled. "No way. Angel's a virgin. Besides she wouldn't go for you." I said. "Oh yeah? Ask her. She was screaming my name last night. Did you notice how tired she looked?" He asked. I thought about. Angel did look tired. "Where's proof?" I asked. He pulled out his phone and showed me a pic of Angel lying next him, without her shirt on. I grabbed his shirt and slammed him on the table. "Mr. Griffin!!! You can sit back down in your seat. Mr. Sawyer, up front." The teacher said. Manny and Joshua got me. The bell rung and I went to my next classes.

Kacey nor Angel looked at me. But I did noticed she looked incredibly tired. We went to lunch and I saw her kiss Zane. Hard. Then her and Charlotte fought. She got hands. While thry fought, I talked to Kacey. "Did her and Zane have sex last night? He showed me a pic of him with her shirt off." I asked. "No she got hot from crying so much." She said.  I dragged to the library and she ran out the window. I chased her to the football field. We talked for a while.

Then the principal came and took her back to the office. Then her dad showed up. The principal called her a black bitch. Then her dad said she waa transferring schools. She went to his car and I followed her. We talked but she said she was leaving. I got upset and ran to the woods. She must've seen my gun because she chased after me. Just get it over with. I can't. My aim will be off. So stop. She'll catch me. I flew to my house and in my room. If my dad was in there, I don't care. He can see me die. Angel pleaded with me to not do this. She unlocked the door and pushed me into the wall. We wrestled with the gun but it went off.

Her scent was all over the place. I looked down and saw that I had shot her. She passes out. "No. No. No. NOOOOOO. FUCKING NOO. ANGEL?!?!" I screamed. What have I done? "Angel? Angel wake up baby. Baby don't do this!!!!." I cried. I picked her up. My mom ran in the room. "Kevin, what the hell happened? Angel was a wolf, and I heard a loud bang." She said. She looked at Angel. She gasped. "Kevin....what did you do?" She asked. "I-I-I don't know. I didn't mean to." I cried.

Kacey and Manny and them got here. So did her dad. "Where's Angel?" He asked. He saw her and dropped to his knees. He took her from me. "No. Baby girl. Don't do this Angel. Don't do this to me baby girl. Angel? ANGEL?!" He cried. "Kevin what did you do?" Kacey cried. "It was an accident!! We fought for the gun but it went off...." I trailed off. Her dad looked up at me. "You did this? You killed my baby girl?!" He lunged for, but got paralyzed by Kacey. "We might can save her." She said.

We looked at her. "Kacey are you sure?" I asked. "There's a possibility. If she's not too far gone." She said. Her spells books appeared. She flipped through the pages. I looked down at Angel. I felt a tear on my face. I held onto her. The tear fell on her. "Angel please come back." I whispered. Just then Mr. & Mrs. Graves appeared. "What are yo-." Mr. Graves cut Tyler off. Mrs. Graves walked over to Angel. She bent down. Her hand glowed yellow. Her husband joined her.

"Kacey, no spell is allowed to bring someone from the dead. That's dark magic only powerful witches and wizards can do. You're not that powerful yet. Plus, Angel isn't dead." Mr. Graves said. We all sighed in relief. "She is?" Her dad asked. I just noticed he was sitting upright. "Yes, but she's in the Magical Realm. She's lost right now. I'm gonna go in and retrieve her." Mrs. Graves said. "Does it have to be you? With all due respect ma'am, but this is my daughter." Lawrence said.

"Unless you know every corner of the Magical Realm, I'm gonna in." She said. Her eyes then rolled to the back of her. "Oh. Oh God. That's creepy." Tyler said. Mr. Graves hit him again. "Zane, what exactly happened between you two?" Manny asked. All eyes were on me. Now I see Angel doesn't like attention. "Um, we got into a argument. She saw my gun then chased me here. I locked my door, she got in and we wrestled for a bit. The gun went off, she fainted. I don't think I pulled the trigger." I said the last part quietly. Her dad lunged for me but Kacey paralyzed him again.

"Kevin, you better hope Mrs. Graves finds Angel and pulls her out of there." Lawrence threatened me. "Trust me sir, I want her out of there just as much as you do. I love her." I said. "If you love her, then you wouldn't have shot her." Zane said. "I do love her!!!" I shouted. "If you love her, then you'll let her go. If she stays here, you're only gonna hurt her worse." Lawrence said. I looked at her and shook my head. "No. I'm not letting her go." I said. "Kid, he's right." Manny said. "Manny-" he cut me off.

"Kid, he's right!! Ever since Angel met you, her life has been thrown out of wack." He said. "And that's my fault?!" I asked. "Well it certainly waanthers." Zane said. "Shut the fuck up Zane!!" I yelled. "Make me bloodsucker!!" He screamed. "STOP IT!! You two are doing the exact thing you said you wouldn't. I agree with Lawrence. Angel need to move in with him. She'll be safer." Kacey said. "Kacey, you love her too. Aren't you gonna be upset?" I asked. "Yes but I want her safe and not in trouble because you two idiots don't know how to control yourselves. Lawrence, if I let you up, will you promise not to attack Kevin?" She asked.

"Okay. I promise." He said. He then sat up and stared at me. He grabbed Angel from me and held her. I looked down my hands. "Kid, I know its hard. But its better this way. She'll be safe. Do you want her to continue being targeted by Charlotte and her dad? They know she's a Tri-ling. They'll slander her record and you know how she cares about that." Manny said. He's right. Just let her go. But I love her. But don't you want her to be safe? You know I do. Then let her go. I can protect her. No Kev. You'll just make her an easy target. Plus she can't continue to be hurt by you. I won't hurt her again. I wish I could believe that. You know you bipolar. She was supposed to help me. She helped you open up. That's a first step. Do the rest on your own. But I love her. Then her go. Let her be happy.

"Kevin?" My mom called me. I looked at her. "Make sure she stays safe Lawrence. She'll be safer with you m I know you'll protect her." I said. He cleared his throat. "Glad you see it my way Kevin. You call text and call her anytime you like." He said. I got up and went to my library. I looked around at all the books. I sat at the window seat. All these books are reminders of her. You can't get rid of them. You love them. I shook my head. Not anymore Randy.

5 Months Later*

"Kevin let's go." Manny called for me. I opened my eyes and sat up. Ugh, I'm still living? Why can't I have a heart attack in my sleep? I got up and took my shower. I got dressed then went downstairs. "Hey Kev." "Hey Kevinnn." "What's up Kev?" They all greeted Mr. "Hey everyone." I said softly. I've been depressed since Angel left but I've been doing better than ever. I've opened up about my situation with my dad. My mom divorced him, Sarah was mad at him, and mom made sure he couldn't get anywhere near me again.

I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful for Angel coming into my life and helping me open up. I've got to say its improved my life. But because if it, Manny and them might have to leave. Manny told me that he will always come see me. But I didn't want him to leave me. Then I'd really have lost two people I've cared about. My mom and Sarah have been trying to get closer together, bring us together as a family. Its nice but were not as close as I am with Manny. He's been a better father figure to me. I'd hate to see him go.

I've even meet his boyfriend. Sean. He was nice and knew about my situation. He told me a friend was going through the same thing but couldn't talk about it because the person that raped them threatened to kill they're family. I spent more time at the library. Mr & Mrs. Graves Gabe me a job there because I kept coming around to talk to them and helped them. I know I was supposed to be removing myself from anything that reminded me of Angel but I could handle it. She crosses my mind every now and then.

We pulled up to the school and Charlotte jumped on me. I got back together with Charlotte to help keep me somewhat sane. Manny and Tyler shaded me for it but let it go. I told them it was the only way to keep Angel off my mind. Charlotte fucks around with other guys and I fuck around with other girls. She's a succubus. She needs sexual energy to live. She has sex with other guys but come back to me. I k ow its not a good idea but whatever. It keeps me from spazzing out. I have sex with other girls but I always imagine that its Angel I'm fucking.

"Hey Kev. So listen I have this new spell I really want to try but I need your help." Kacey says. "Oh no. No no no. Last time I helped you, you turned me into a lizard." I said. "Oh my God dude. I said I was sorry. Get over it." She said. "Get over it? A crow pecked at me." I said. She laughed. "You gotta admit it was funny." Said a voice. "It was not funny Dillon." I said. "It was. You're just mad." She said. Dillon was Kacey's girlfriend. She's also a witch. Her and Kacey have tag teaming me with these spells.

^Dillon Gatalk

She was pretty cool but she's dark when she's pissed. Kacey finds it hot, I find it cool. As long as her anger isn't aimed at me. "So Dillon, when are you having your birthday party?" Tyler asked. "Saturday. Don't be late or you'll be spending your weekend outside in the woods." She as she kswes Kacey and walks off. "Dang woman." He said. "I know right." Kacey said. We saw Zane. He doesn't talk to me but he talks to every one else. Turns out Dillon is his old friend that moved a year ago. Our classes went by as usual. Charlotte came over and tried to kiss me again. I turned my head. Now that I know she gives out blowjobs, I'm not letting her kiss me anymore.

Every time we have sex, I double my protection. No babies with her and no diseases. "Ugh Kevin why won't you kiss me like we used to?" She asked. "It's a no brainer bitch." Kacey said. Everyone laughed. She rolled her eyes. "Won't nobody talking to you freak." She scowled. "Uhhh can't hear you. Music too loud." Kacey said, as she put in her earbuds. "Answer me Kev." Charlotte said. I hate when she calls me that. Everyone else passes except her.

"Nothing. I just don't feel like kissing." I said. "Bullshit." She said. "Call it what you want." I said as the bell rung. Day's over finally. Bout time. I rarely ever talk to Randy anymore ever since Angel left. He's been depressed too. He only ever comes out when I need a joke or help on something. Manny and them took my stuff home but came back. Weird. I thought he was gonna stay home. Like usual. Come to think of it, everyone was in such as good mood today. Kacey, Zane, Manny, Tyler, Sarah, my mom, everyone was excited. They got something up their sleeve.

Definitely. I was allowed to drive again, but only if I had someone in the passenger seat. I pulled up to the library. I saw balloons. I looked over at Michael. "Michael, what's going on?" I asked. He just smiled and got out. This can't be good. It's a trap. I got out and he opened the door for me. "SURPRISE!!!" They all said. I looked up at the banner. It was my birthday. "Oh God. Thanks so much." I said. Dillon came over with my cake and Kacey came over with a birthday hat. I made a wish and blew it out.

"Happy birthday Kevin!!" My mom said. She came over and hugged me. I hugged her back. The party went on without a hitch. We played games, had cake and ice cream. Mr. & Mrs. Graves even let me see a vision of what future would be like. I liked it. A house near the ocean, kids of course, everything was perfect. But why would I have kids with Charlotte? Just then I smelt a scent I haven't smelt in a long time. I turned around. "Guys what's that smell?" I asked. They looked towards the back room. My heart raced. Out came Lawrence, Tasha, Lawrence's wife and other kids. Then she appeared. "Angel?" I called out. She smiled. "Hey Angel." I said. "Hey yourself." She said.
