Chapter 7

Daphne POV

They stared at each other with pure hatred. I could see the tension as soon as I entered the room. The rich player and Seth was hitting on each other. Seth had may broken a rib. He took my sister pretty serious. I stare over into them. They didn’t seem to notice me until I really came in. They suddenly noticed the door being opened and both of them turned buddy, buddy, then they noticed it was me. Seth frowned and Damon was staring over at me chest. I wink over at him while tying my hair and making a pose. He shifts his eyes off without interest. If Lexis couldn’t take control of him, sooner or later I had to, so I could get the money we needed.

“Damon, come and sit beside me,” I said as I sat over the couch and patted the seat next to me with a sly smile. I loved Lucian and all but I also loved my parents...or at least Lexis did.

“Not even if I was drunk,” Player sniped. I roll my eyes in disbelieve. I switch on the TV. Lexis was soon to arrive from school. If I walked in that school, I bet most of the guys would instantly like her but she disliked it. I didn’t see why.

“Stay away from my girlfriend rich boy or your face won’t be so pretty,” Seth threatened. Boys...I remember having guys fighting over me...my body.

“You wouldn’t be able to afford ruining my face,” Player threatened “Admit it, I broke her heart and make her like me and you couldn’t even with all those years.”

“Lexis doesn’t break... I would know,” I yawned tired of the long day. They didn’t seem to hear me. It was getting on my nerves. Then I heard a smack. Somebody got hit. They’re conversation grew louder and louder. Then I start to listen on again.

“You don’t a thing about Lexis! You don’t know what the hell she goes thru every day! She had to handle everything alone and always have to hear her sister fucking people every day when she was younger. If she was lucky she would see her parents maybe twenty minutes a week. Don’t talk to me about what you know about her because you don’t know anything about her Damon!” Seth let Lexis secrets all at onceHe seemed stunned. I stare back at the guys. Seth was filled with fury and Damon’s face was filled with confusing.

“Her parents are alive?” Damon asks. He thought they were dead? Well they might be...

“What, you thought they were dead?” Seth asked in disbelieve.

“She made it sound like it,” Damon defended himself.

“No, not yet,” Seth narrowed his eyes and calmed slightly. They start shouting each other again and then it grew to the point where they were going to chock each other to death. I should do something but...they were none of my business... I’m not going to baby sit them. I turn back. They really are chocking each other.

“Hey, sorry I came late I had-“ Lexis came in and stared at the guys having their hands on each other’s necks “What are you guys doing?” She was mad. They instantly let go of each other and brought big bright smiles. They’re hands were on each other’s shoulders.

“Nothing Lexi, just trying to see who can hold their breath longest,” Seth smiled. Lexis stared over at them. I burst out into laughter. Yup, the one who loses, dies...

“And we were talking about-“Seth stared out.

“-Golf...!” Damon interrupted. Seth made a face and kept a forced smile and Damon made his mistake worse “Celebrity Golf.” They boys both stared at each other. If I didn’t have Lucian, I would have already seduced Damon. Damon is richer.

“Yea, Britney spears had a nice swing,” Seth grinned.

“James bond had a better swing actually,” Damon nodded. Everyone turned to stare at Damon. I knew James bond was real! They told me he was just a character too.

“James bond...? He’s a character,” Lexis spat over at Damon and turned back on Seth “Britney...golf...nice swing...? I’m not that stupid one in the family.” Lexis seemed to take it as a insult. I was doing my nails a turquoise color. Lexis motioned toward me.

“She is,” Lexis insulted. I rolled my eyes and pretended I didn’t hear that. Let’s see whose stupid now.

“I heard Taylor Launter was best,” I encouraged her. She screamed as if she was being murdered by a serial killer. Seth was spooked out and ran to her with caring eyes. Please...gag me... This is so rare of Seth to care about anything or anyone. I’m surprised he didn’t laugh instead of go to her.

“Are you okay?” Seth asks her. Lexis grabs him by the waist, and I could see that’s where he got hurt by the player. His face went pale. That’s when Lexis pulled him close and put her lips near his ear.

“TAYLOR LAUNTER!?” She screamed threw his hear. Seth fell flat on the ground. You could see his soul coming out of his body. He was probably feeling unbearable pain and lost his hearing. Player was laughing amused. Lexis sat over beside me and grabbed the remote. I did my nails until she checked every single channel.

“Where is it!?” She yelled out and turned to the player “What channel is it?” She averted her eyes from him ashamed. Something did happen between them alright.

“You missed it,” I told Lexis looking at my perfect nails. Her eyes pour over to me and she yelped. What...?

“I’m going to kick you out if you don’t wear proper covered up clothes,” Lexis threatened me. I did not want to back into our house, they could be there. I look over at my clothes. I wore a black lacy bra that showed my chest and was kind of a size too small along with ripped up light blue skinny jeans. I sigh and then stood up from the couch. I exam my nails and head into her bedroom to search for clothes. Threw her closet I saw just bunch of t-shirts and skinny jeans. What was wrong with her? There were a few dresses but they looked too small for me. I picked up a regular to shirt and sweat pants. I hated my sister closet. I switched into the clothes and walked into the room.

“Psycho, I’m done with you!” Damon told lexis. I stare over into them. Already a fight started. Lexis gave him the middle finger. She seemed mad but I could tell that she was hurt. Her eyes were slightly blurred with a bit of tears in her eyes. Nobody would be able to tell. Seth was actually out cold. Then Lexis stormed out of her apartment and smashed the door behind her.

“Fine be like that bitch!” Damon yelled over at the door. I stare over at the door and back at Damon. I honestly had no clue what had happened.

“Ooo, she’s going to kill you when she see’s you again,” I crossed my arms warning Damon. Damon turned his eyes sharply at me with messed up hate. I backed up. He really looked pissed.

“You shouldn’t be talking,” He looked deeply at me. Not those, romantic stares. Those ‘I’ll get revenge’ stares. Ugh, why me...?

“Get the hell out and apologize to my sister,” I ordered.

“Apologize for what...?” He let his anger on me “It’s her fault I ended up having to be with her again, when I officially said that it was going to end long time ago.”

“I don’t care what happened before but you hurt her and you owe her. Go and apologize to her,” he better apologize to Lexis.

“Why don’t you?”

“I’ve already have,” I said.

“What am I supposed to say? ‘Oh I’m sorry for giving you a choice?’” Damon burst his anger out. I didn’t get what he was angry about. I roll my eyes. Then I walk out of the apartment and search around the hallway. I couldn’t find her. I went down stairs and walked around and searched for a park. I successful found one and found Lexis. She covered her face I her knees. Did I really have to be the big sister now?

“Gees, Lex...You already know life is hell, no point in crying about it.” I sat beside her.

“I’m not crying, go away,” Lexis mumbled like the little kid she was back then. Always hiding...

“What did he do?” I ask not expecting her to tell me.

“He didn’t do anything,” She honestly said.

“What did he say?”

“You heard,”

“Are you going to tell me what really happened?”

“What makes you think I will Daphne?” Her head turned up but her eyes were red. She has been crying alright. She’d always go to the park and cry when we were younger.

“Nothing... Just asking,” I shrug.

“Well if your just asking then leave. I don’t need or want you in my life,” She threw the words all over again. Yea, I understood that a long time ago. She didn’t need anybody.

“I just want to know what happened with you and Damon,” I honestly told her “Did you really fall in love with him?”

“No, it was the other way around and he’s denying it. He doesn’t like to lose,” Lexis explained but I didn’t know if it was true or not because she was crying about it. I stare off into the night sky.

“Well I guess if you don’t need me, I’ll leave you alone,” I told her. She didn’t say a word. So I stood up and walked away. So much for being a good sister. I start to make my way back slowly. My sister was a pain in the ass. Then I noticed Samantha on the road. She was walking toward the building. I stare into her. I haven’t seen her around Lexis for a long time. Telling by her clothes she wasn’t the same. Hey, she kind of looked like me when I was in high school. Her parents will kill her. I walk up to her. Maybe she could help Lexis feel better. They were best friends after all. Samantha tried to avoid eye contact with me but caught a glimpse. I walk in front of her.

“Hey Samantha, long time no see,” I play a friendly card. She stares up at me with dull cruel eyes. Bitch...How dare she give me that look.

“Okay, get to your point. What do you want?” Samantha sniped. Well, I see she hasn’t changed much with her attitude with me...well she seemed ruder actually. Since when did she decide to go to school all this dressy?

“Is it hard to believe that I just wanted to talk to you?” I fake smile.

“Yes, so move out of my way if you’re not going to get to the point. You may be a legacy in my school and my friends but that doesn’t mean I’m going to be nice and play along. I’m going to go above you,” She warned me. Can I say Bitch...? I knew something was wrong now. I can see why Lexis was crying, I’d cry to if I had a friend like this. I looked over at the corner my eyes to see Damon heading to the park. He seemed to notice Lexis. So I see he was ready to apologize her. I win...as always.

“Okay listen Samantha, I don’t give a shit about the legacy shit with the school. I was just going to ask you to do a simple thing for your best friend,” I honestly said. I really didn’t care about high school. High school will do nothing for you if you did what I did.

“My best friend?” She snorted. Ewe... “My best friend is doing fine, she’s on a date now.” Wait a second...? Lexis isn’t on a date... I stood frozen trying to solve this puzzle out. That’s when the player came in before I could really think things thru. He put on a charming smile and looked over at Samantha. What was he thinking...?

“Hey,” Damon talked over to me. I look at him.

“Go,” I told him “I’m thinking and talking, I can’t handle another person.” He just snickered and then looked over at Samantha again.

“So who is she...?” Damon sparked his blue eyes over to Samantha. Samantha smiled with interest.

“She’s Lexis best friend,” I told Damon still trying to think. What was up with Samantha these days?

“Really, you’re hot,” Damon flirted.

“Back at you hottie,” Samantha flirted back. Oh come on girl, that’s pathetic! I can do so much better.

“I was close to Lexis, want to go eat something?” Damon asked. I swear I was going to kill this guy if he dared to hurt Lexis anymore. I scoffed and put my hand over my waist “Uh...no you’re not!” Damon just shrugged and looked over at me again.

“It’s her best friend,” Damon made a point “no back stabbing.” He mentioned that Sam wouldn’t back stab Lexis. There was something that Damon knew about the situation that I didn’t. They were walking off far away from me. I was still confused about what the heck was going on. Then I heard the last piece of the puzzle.

“Actually I’m her ex-best friend,” Sam said to Damon. Damon just chuckled “I know.” I stare there frozen. Oh shit. Lexis is going to kill me when she finds out that I probably just set up her EX-best friend with Damon. I felt the color drain from my face. I cannot let this happen. I couldn’t run toward them though, they were too far. While Lexis was off crying because of Damon. Damon went out with her best friend...ex-best friend who she trusted with her life before.

*Lexis POV*

My sister stood up and went away to change her clothes. It was now me and only Demon awake in the room. Seth was lying down in the couch falling asleep. Demon sat beside me. He kept a good distance but he was still too close for me. I felt his stare pour into the side of my head. I turn my head and gave him a nasty look back.

“You really bossy aren’t you?” Demon questioned me with his dull lifeless blue eyes. What did he know? As long as I had Demon here, he wouldn’t be able to go out with anyone.

“Yea, I’m bossy because I want to be,” I sarcastically say and toss my head back to the TV. I was getting the suspicion that there was no celebrity golf. The next words made the blood rush to my head.

“You think just because you have life issues you can snap at everyone? Get over yourself psycho,” Demon slipped the words out of his mouth not knowing what anger could be brought up from me. My teeth clenched together and I stood up from the couch. His blue eyes still looked over at me as I got up. That’s when my own deadly eyes stare at him.

“You don’t know a thing about me Demon,” I said threw my teeth. He kept direct eye contact. His hair was a mess and it wasn’t covering the scar I gave him at the edge of his forehead. He also had a burse on his cheek. I was starting to wonder where it came from. Seth looked like he was in pain too.

“I know more than you think,” He honestly said.

“Like what...?”

“I know about how you mostly lived alone and you hardly see your parents-“ I stopped him there. I threw a couch pillow at him. My stomach was starting to ache and I felt blurs in my eyes. My lips shook. My eyes were blurred with tears. I wanted my parents back safely back. I’ve been trying so hard in school so I could get a good job and pay for my parents, so they can escape. So that I’ll be able to see them more and now they are kidnapped and Seth pointed out that they could already be dead. He didn’t say that to hurt me, he said it because it was reality.

“Psycho, you could have told me before...” Demon said like he was in fault. I wiped my eyes and stare at him back again.

“Tell you what...? I don’t trust you,” I didn’t care how much my word would hurt him.

“You don’t trust anyone,” Demon sniped.

“I trust Seth,” I fought back.

“I don’t think you trusting people is the biggest problem. You don’t even trust yourself,” Demon spoke as if he knew what he was talking about. I doubt he knew that my parents been kidnapped.

“Since when did you become so deep?”

“I was a long time ago, before my girlfriend went suicide. I became an ass...even worse then you are...when she died,” He honestly admitted. He seemed to be telling the truth. What difference did it make though? He had bunch of girlfriends, one dying shouldn’t be a big deal to a big player like him.

“Oh how sad... She cut herself? How many girlfriends did you have that did that to themselves? It’s pathetic when people do that. I have a hard life but I’m not cutting myself or thinking about suicide,” Cruel words escaped out of my mouth. The rage grew over in Demon.

“If you think you’re so much fucking better than her, then why don’t you do everybody a favor and die?” Demon hit. It didn’t make much sense but it hurt me. It’s so nice to know that he wanted me dead.

“Because I’ll be only be doing you a favor,”

“Just like how you did a favor by getting out of my life,” Demon was started to burst out into different moments. He made it seemed as if I was the one that choose to leave.

“I...? You fucking kicked me out,” I recapped for him.

“All I did is give you a choice and then you did exactly what you said you won’t,” Demon reminded me. What was he talking about?

“What are you talking about? I was going to pick you but then I got stuck In a mental hospital and you decided it was too late,”

“Too late for what? You gave me your answer and you didn’t pick me,”

“What the hell Damon? I never said I wanted to be with Seth,”

“No you officially told me.”

“No I didn’t! I was really going to go with you but you ruined it.”

“I ruined it...?”

“Yes you did,”

“Ha, your funny. I guess it was my fault that we end up seeing each other again too,”

“I had no choice,”

“You have a choice, and you’re a real bitch for coming back for my money,”

“I did not-“ I stopped myself because I did come back for the money but for a good reason “You just don’t get it.”

“I do get it, I get that you want to do what I did to you.”

“What...?”

“Use me,”

“You used me...?”

“I could have got rid of you a long time ago back there but I kept you around because of my car and if people saw I could get serious with a relationship, I’ll get more game,” He wasn’t lying this time.

“Fuck you Damon! I really liked you back then!” I let the truth slip.

“Yea but you loved Seth,” He let jealousy slip.

“So you pushed me to Seth because you thought I loved him?”

“Don’t you...?”

“Now I do but not then,”

“Then who did you love back then?”

“No one,”

“I doubt it,”

“Why do you doubt it?”

“Because you were crying all over the place for Seth but you didn’t give a shit if I fucked up my life even more because of you,”

“That’s your own fault! You can’t blame me for what you do,”

“I can blame you for leaving.”

“You forced me to leave and either way we’re back aren’t we?”

“Lexis, I’m done with you!” Demon shockingly hit. He didn’t use psycho, he used Lexis.

What happened to Psycho and Demon?

I didn’t get it. He was just talking about how he was upset that I left and cared about Seth more and now telling me that he’s over it. Tears were going to fall off my eyes soon. I only gave him the expression of anger though. I wasn’t in a stable mood to have a fight. My sister entered the room. I stared in Demon’s blue eyes and felt completely hurt. I gave him the middle finger and then ran for the door and slammed it behind me. I ran over to the park and let the tears fall. My sister came in my clothes. I had to burn them later. She tried to get me talk but she wasn’t a person that I wanted to talk to.
