Chapter fourteen || Damon’s POV

Oh shit her waist is small. Shaking the thought away I feel her shaking in my hands.

Don't sexualize her Damon.

I'm sorry Bry.'I attempt to apologize but she's not having it. I hadn't realized I'd fucked her up this badly because of a joke I pulled years ago.

'Can you just let go of me.' She squirms but I don't want her too. If I let her go now she'll be a crying mess and my parents would be livid.

Usually when I mess around with a girl like this they're very compliant. So I'm a little bit shocked right now.

Not that I can see her I assume she's crying so I wipe her face. 'Look let's calm down...follow my breathing okay?'

Feeling her attempts to breath normally I make inhaling and exhaling sounds to guide her.

'It's fictional Brylan.' I remind her continuing to make the breathing sounds. 'That means it doesn't exist in our world and even if it did I can promise you I'd be able to take it on for you.'

Hearing her laugh softly I sigh in accomplishment as her breathing softens. I'm not in the mood to be fucked up by my mother for making her cry.

'What where you talking about before?' She asks me somewhat calmer but her voice still broken.

'What?'

'You where talking about how fear can be exciting but I think you wondered off into talking about something else because it didn't really correlate.' She explains herself.

Not really saying anything back I hear the door open before quickly moving away from her. Katie walks in with a towel around her hair followed by the others.

'Why the fuck did you tell them to go for me,' Katie growls in annoyance, 'I had to lock the bathroom door since they wouldn't leave me the fuck alone and wouldn't listen to Noah who was saying to leave.'

'Um.' I try to collect my words glancing at Brylan who looks not as upset as I envisioned, her eyes where slightly red though.

'Why are you guys in the dark.' Noah walks in turning on the lights before jumping over the back of the couch, landing on it.

'You should've opened the door so I could've showered with you.' Colton sighs sarcastically at Katie who ignores him.

Walking away from Brylan I sit down on the seat next to Noah, ignoring Katie's eyes on me. I watch her walk towards Brylan and whisper something in her ear but she shakes her head.

Ignoring it I watch Colton walk past me as I kick him in the thigh causing him to stumble.

'You're not funny.' I look at him as he reaches down picking up his glasses that dropped when he stumbled.

Not a lot of people know he needs them since he wears contacts, even though he doesn't look bad in them, if anything he looks better, since he has those black frames which are gold wire at the bottom half.

'I beg to differ. I'm fucking hilarious.' he disagrees putting them back on before just deciding to sit on the ground where he nearly fell. He pulls up a pillow resting his head on his hands which rested on the pillow, before staring at the projector.

'You guys watched a horror movie?' Jacob asks sitting down on a seat slightly confused. I look at the projector realizing the end credits are still rolling. I thought it had been off since I couldn't see Jack shot when the light was also off. I had to guess where she was.

'Yea don't you hate those?' Katie looks over at Brylan. Katie is seated on the ground directly next to my leg feeling her hair against me whilst Brylan sits directly next to her. So I can see the both of them clearly. We'll the top of their heads anyways.

'Uh...yea it wasn't my choice,' Brylan steals a glance at me. 'He chose it.'

'Figured so,' Katie looks back at the projector not surprised. 'You hate those kinds of movies and Damon basically eats them for breakfast.'

'Because they're good.' I roll my eyes at her insult, 'you're just too pussy Katie.'

'You're a prick.' Katie reminds me before picking up the remote at my feet and scrolling though movies, 'I'm picking something and it's not going to be horror.'

After scrolling for a couple minutes she stops at one of the movies before clicking on it. 'Let's watch 'Barbie princess charm school,"

'Are you fucking with us?' Jacob groans.

'Just watch it and stop crying it's so good...I've watched it like ten times.' Brylan comments.

I don't want to watch it either but I had just watched the movie that I wanted to watch so I'm not going to argue. Sitting back I place my elbow in the arm rest besides me leaning the side of my face on my fist.

About twenty minutes into the movie I sit up crossing my arms not wanting to admit how good it actually is. Despite it being corny it's genuinely interesting. Glancing over at Jacob he's leaning forward on his knees watching, it causes me to scoff.

'I thought you didn't like the movie.' I ask him whilst laughing but he just waves me off.

'Shut up I wanna see Barbie bust this girl Delancy's face in.' He ignores me.

Shaking my head I look down at my feet seeing Brylan on her phone. She's texting and I can see exactly what she's saying since she's below me.

Alex <3

They're gone now should I ask if I can come over to you guys?

Me

Yes! Please please please beg your parents I want you to be here...if they let you Ill let you sit next to me and we can watch that movie you love so much.

Alex <3

It's a good movie! I don't know why you wouldn't watch it every second of the day Bry.

Me

I do watch it every second of the day...because you force me to watch it with you.

Alex <3

We can watch a horror movie since you hate those so much...it would be so funny 😈

Me

Yesss...but only if you sit next to me so I know I'm not alone 💀 those movies scare the shit out of me.

Creasing my eyebrows at how easy she agreed to watch the movie when he asked compared to me, I rest my elbow on the arm rest again. Touching my chin she suddenly stops typing before looking up.

I quickly look back at the movie pretending to stretch as I look over to my side seeing Jacob who's still focusing.

Leaning towards the other rest between me and him, away from Katie and Brylan I look at the screen. Waiting a few seconds I look back down noticing Brylan still looking at me from the corner of her eyes. I keep eye contact for a few seconds before looking away slowly to kill suspicion.

If I looked away too quickly she'd know I was reading over her shoulder. I shouldn't have been reading the messages in the first place anyways. Trying to watch the movie again it soon finishes.

'Wait that's it? Delancy doesn't get her shit rocked? I would've broken her neck.' Jacob throws his hands up annoyed. 'Nah I'm done with this Barbie shit that was the biggest let down of the year,'

Laughing Katie looks over at him, 'you seemed interested. See it was a good movie.'

'No it was actually good..you have really good taste- which is something I noticed,' Noah makes an odd remark making Katie stare him down leaving me slightly confused. He seemed like he was referring to something. Brushing it off I'm probably just paranoid.

'Don't lie it was ass,' Colton gets up with his phone in his hand, 'animation quality got so much better since like 1734 or whenever this was made.'

'Poor animation quality doesn't mean it's bad... it just means it's poor quality,' Brylan argues as he walks past her.

Resting his fingers on Katie's head he messes it up gently, 'I only like good quality things.'

Kicking him harder this time he falls over getting up giving me the middle finger so I give it back. Laughing at Colton, Noah gets up following him which soon Jacob does.

Getting up I follow after them knowing they're most likely going to raid the fridge of food. My mother had gone grocery shopping and bought double knowing how large their appetites where.

Looking down as Brylan as I see she's smiling at her phone and I can't help but feel a part of me growing frustrated.
