Dead Silence 05

"Lilly do you wanna hang out at my house?" Jack asked.
"Uh yeah sure, we can take my car"
"Alright let's get out of this shit hole" Jack got into the passenger seat of my car.
"So are you worried about this bear thing"
"I don't think it's a bear"
"What do you think it is?" What did I think it was, I think it was some sick bastard?
"I think it's a person"
"But their stomachs were eaten out, so what is it like a cannibal or something?"
"I dunno maybe"
"Whatever Lilly" he said laughing. We got to Jack's house. It was even older then mine. I liked it though, it was a nice house none the least.
"Hey my parents aren't home you wanna tap the liquored cabinet"
"Yeah" I said smiling. Jack unlocked the door and went over to the bar in the kitchen. He got out two shot glasses and a bottle of Vodka. He poured the two and walked over to me. I was seated on the couch.
"Here, ready? One, two, three" on three we both tilted our heads back and downed it slamming the glass on the table. I was first by a second.
"Rematch"
"Beat you once, eh, I can beat you again"
"One, two, three" SLAM. I won again.
"Come on Jack, you gotta do better then this"
"Alright last time, one two three" SLAM. He'd won this time. Which means time for the victory dance.
"OH YEAH GO JACK GO JACK IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY"
"Hey I got 2 out of 3"

Jack and I were both drunk now. He plopped down on the couch next to me.
"So what are you going to do now?" He asked.
"I don't know"
"Wanna go up to my room"
"Yeah" We both got up and ran up the stairs. Or at least tried to. We were so drunk that we ended up stumbling quite a few time.

"Careful Lilly don't fall"
"I won't" We got up and laid down on his bed. I was barley seeing straight now.
"You're so beautiful" Jack said rubbing the side of my face with his hand. I looked up at him. His lips meet mine. I wasn't suppose to do this, I had a boyfriend but I was drunk and he was hot. Jack got on top of me and undid my belt buckle. I reached up and grabbed on to his hair pulling him closer to me.
"God, you're so hot"
"So are you" we said in-between kisses. His hands slid up my shirt.
"L-Lilly you should be with me, not him"
"What?" I said stopping the kissing.
"Well, I mean you can't possibly not see that I want to be with you right?"
"I don't know"
"Well I mean haven't you seen the signs"
"Jack don't make this complicated"
"I'm not, but I'm also not going to pretend that I'm fine with you two dating, he's not right"
"Jack, you don't understand" I said feeling the tears roll down my cheeks. Why did everything have to be so hard. Couldn't I have one thing that didn't bring me some form of pain or hurt? Jack stretched out his arms hugging me.
"I'm sorry Lilly" I sobbed into his shoulder. I couldn't count how many times I did this. It had to hurt him seeing me like this. He just held me and stroked my hair.
"Shhh, its ok Lilly" his voice was soothing.
"You have Ms. Maxi for English right?"
"Yeah"
"Have you heard she's going to give another project, this time we have to research a creature"
"I got demons"
"Demons?"
"You know the ones who make deals with humans and torture them"
"Oh"
"Yeah anyways I've got to get to work it's a big part of our grade, maybe we can study tomorrow when you get your topic"
"Yeah, I better get home, before my mum starts worrying about me"
"Bye Lilly" he said wrapping me up in hug. His arms around me felt almost like wings, wings of my own personal angel.


I got in my car and drove down the road to my house. I parked my car in our drive way and grabbed my bag throwing it over my shoulder, before walking inside.
"There you are Raphael"
"You're school called, why didn't you tell me about these bear attacks"
"I didn't think it was anything to worry about"
"Raphael are you kidding me? People are DYING!"
"I KNOW THAT YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT OK"
"Baby don't be this way"
"Listen mum I'm going to bed"



I got to school the next day. There must have been ten police cars out front. Protocol one of them talked about, something having to do with making sure that no one got hurt or went out alone. Jezebel was standing outside of the building glaring at one of them.
"Hey, what's wrong" These assholes won't let me go get something from my car"
"Why not?"
"Cause it's to near the woods"
"Oh"
"This is a bunch of bullshit, why are they so worried about these kids, you know the way the act, some of them are better off dead if you ask me" In all truth he was right. They were mean and ruthless creatures that went back on promises and stabbed the people they loved in the back.
"Come on we have to get to gym"
"Sure" he said before putting his arm around me and walking inside. We got to gym and everyone was quite. The emotions flew into my brain. Fear, confusing, anger, sadness, hurt, and a mix of other emotions that came with the deaths of classmates.
"Students today we are going to show a video on safety in the woods instead of doing anything physical today" I didn't really care either way. I wasn't going to listen to some bullshit about being safe in the woods. As far as it concerned me there was only one rule, Stay the fuck out of the woods. Jezebel looked at me.
"Hey the teachers never watch us when there is a video on, wanna go behind the bleachers over there, it's nice and dark"
"Sure" There were wooden bleachers in our gym for the parents and students during a basketball or volleyball game. Jezebel and I slipped away unnoticed to the bleachers. We climbed through the maze of iron bars that held up the wooden bleachers. I sat down leaning my back against the wall. Jezebel sat down next to me sighing as he did so.
"Have you heard about the new project in English?"
"Yeah, I got Vampires, you?"
"I don't know yet, Jack got demons" Jezebels' face changed.
"Let's not talk about him" he said in a cold monotone voice.
"O-okay I'm sorry"
"That's ok, how couldn't stay upset with you you're so beautiful" he said running his long pale fingers through my hair.
"Please, I can't believe you even like me I mean your gorgeous"
"Well thank you" he said before leaning in and kissing me. He delicacy held my face in his hands. Our lips moved together, he was such a good kisser. The kissing deeped and his slid his tongue into my mouth.

The bell rang. I pulled away.
"I've got to get to class"
"Yeah, me too, see you later Lilly" he said before getting up and walking off. I hadn't seen Jack all day I hope he's ok.

When I got to Ms. Maxi's class there was a letter on my desk, as well as everyone else's. I opened it up on it in cursive were the words 'your topic is guardian angels'. Guardian angels? I guess that's good, maybe they tie in with Jack's so we can share some of the books and study together, other wise I'll never get this thing done. Some of the other kids sat down and opened their letters. The girl sitting next to me got werewolves, someone else got ghost.
"Hello class I see you all got your letters, well this is the first day of October so I figured why not start off with some of the paranormal realm"
"Some of the topics are as follow, vampires, werewolves, zombies, demons, angels, trolls, ghost, banshees, soul eaters, and many others" The class groaned at the next part.
"This is a big grade for this quarter so do your best" I rolled my eyes. At least we didn't have to write some ten page report on a guy that's been dead for 3,000 years. People aren't interesting when they're alive, and defiantly not when they're dead, just a bit more annoying.


I managed to get through the rest of the school without much drama. I still hadn't seen Jack I hope he's ok I mean I don't want to have to do this project by myself either. I went over to my car, there were tons of "safety guards" out. Once I got in and declared 'safe and accounted for' which basically meant 'if you die now, it's your own fault and not ours so you can't sue' I called Jack. After a few rings he picked up.
"Hello?"
"JACK, are you ok you weren't in school today"
"I'm sick"
"Oh are you ok?"
"Yeah I guess I mean besides the fact that I'm sick"
"Alright, oh I got my topic today guardian angels"
"That's great we can work *cough* together"
"Yeah"
"You know some of the stuff I found is kinda scary demons eating people's guts out, haha you might wanna stop looking into this bear shit and start this demon stuff, nah but it's all fake"
"Yeah that's true, well I'll see you when you're feeling better"
"Yeah man bye" I hit end call and put it away. SLAM!
"Shit" I screamed before seeing who it was. Jezebel stood there leaning over my car. I rolled down the window.
"Damn, you scared this shit outa me"
"I'm sorry, hey my car broke down, the old piece a shit's ticker finally ran out I guess but they won't let me walk home so mind if I hitch a ride?"
"Sure hope in" I said unlocking the side door. He got in and laided his head back.
"So crazy shit huh?"
"Yeah I guess"
"So what did you get?"
"Oh, guardian angels"
"That's cool I guess, I'm not into angel in fact I can't stand them"
"Why not?"
"I don't I mean they're just to pure I mean what fun is that?"
"I guess"
"You know my parents aren't home why don't we head on over to my house and pick up where we left off"
"I don't know"
"Ah come on I promise I won't do anything you don't want to do"
"But I mean,"
"Come on Lilly please?"
"O-okay"
"Yes!" he said smiling. I drove to the address he told me. It was a large house in the rich neighborhood. The homes (or rather machines) were so far apart that you could barely see the others.
"When are your parents getting back?"
"In a week or two they run a business and have to go on trips sometimes"
"You don't mind?"
"No, I get free run of the house"
"Oh" I said sitting down on the large white couch.
"Didn't the Gallaways use to live here?" The Gallaways were an elderly couple that use to live here and were friends of my mom. Mrs. Gallaways was even in my mother's knitting club.
"Yeah, They moved, kinda sudden apparently Mr. Gallaways wasn't doing so well so they decided to move in with there son up in New York"
"oh that's to bad"
"Yeah I guess"


The house we beautiful, the den lead into a huge kitchen with a full bar and drinking room. You could see the large pool from the kitchen; it was attached to the kitchen and encaged with sparkling glass. The garden was bigger then most ball parks. Mrs. Gallaways had always loved gardening. I got the grand tour as he called it. The movie theater was equip with a full bar even. His room was bigger then the house it was the master I think, the bathroom had a full jocose and walk in shower. The bed was perfectly made, silvery silk sheets and the whole bed was covered by a sheer lace canapé.
"This is beautiful"
"Yeah, there are 5 guest rooms all fairly large my mum and dad share the one on the end there, but since they are rarely here they gave me the master"
"That's cool"
"So what do you wanna do?"
"I don't know"
"Go for a swim"
"I don't have a bathing suit"
"You can barrow on of mine" he said in a cool voice.
"Uh sure"
