บท 10: The Drive.

<p>"Blossom..." I murmed for what seemed the millionth time but was still met with silence. I checked my rear view mirror and noticed Hayes starring back at me with a frown on his face. I looked back at Bloss on the passenger seat and sighed. She held the ice pack Alessa brought on her forehead with her gaze fixated ahead. I reached out to hold her hand but she quickly dodged it.<br/><br/>"Can you just say someth:-"<br/><br/>":-maybe you shouldn't have thrown you're new friend down D!" Ace mussed from the back seat whilst checking out his now bruised fist.<br/><br/>"I am not his friend." She voiced out in anger.<br/><br/>"Whatever." Ace sighed and looked at Hayes in boredome.<br/><br/>"Why did you throw her down Damon?" Hayes mocked, snickering at me.<br/><br/>"I didn't." I gritted out in anger before forcing myself to calm down. I wouldn't want to cause an accident that will no doubt kill us all.<br/><br/>"Oh, so NOW you're denying that you willingly pushed me to release that stupid bawl even though I specifically told you that I didn't want to!" She yelled while threatningly holding the ice pack with a murderous look on her face. She looked terrifying to say the least.<br/><br/>"I didn't think you'd fall." I mumbled feeling guilty that she had a bruise forming on her forehead.<br/><br/>"So let me get this straight:-" Alessa groaned from the boot, using the boys to sit up straight. <br/><br/>":-you brought her to the alley against her will where you "pushed" her so hard she's starting to bruise and now we are taking her home?" She trailed off dramatically and starred at me from the rear view mirror.<br/><br/>Ace cleared his throat and looked at her. "Uhm, is that rhetorical or you...-:"<br/><br/>":-shut you're face hole Ace."<br/><br/>"Why are you being mean?" Ace whined looking at Al.<br/><br/>"Look, I didn't mean to push you okay!:-" <br/><br/>Hayes gasped dramatically. ":-ooh! Is the great Damon Stone actually going to apologise!"<br/><br/>"That can't be good." Ace mussed chuckling to himself.<br/><br/>"Everybody SHUT UP." I half-yelled making their non stop bickering increase even more.<br/><br/>"I wasn't even talking." Alessa sighed and flicked Hayes off. Just then, the front gate of 'horror house' came in view and the timing wouldn't have been great. I decreased the speed as I approached the gate. I buzzed myself in remembering the password from the last time I was here and drove on the beautifully stoney decorated pavement until I reached the wooden stairs leading to the front door. I killed the engine and jumped out of the car to open the door for Blossom.<br/><br/>"I have hands." She mumbled stepping out of the jeep. I cleared my throat and carefully approached her.<br/><br/>"Look, this night didn't exactly go as I had planned." <br/><br/>"Oh really! What did you have in mind Almighty Stone?" She mocked crossing her arms over her chest.<br/><br/>"Because as far as I remember, I asked you to stay away from me but instead you went ahead and took me to that place without my consent and now you can't even own up to you're mistake." She scoffed and shook her head. <br/><br/>"Why are you making this a big deal! I already apologised so stop being a stuck up bitch and lighten up." <br/><br/>She starred at me with a shocked expression and scoffed. "Wow! So now I'm a bitch?:-"<br/><br/>"Bloss, I didn't mea:-"<br/><br/> ":-you know what Damon, I am done with you. Now the next time you come with that cute face of yours kidnapping me, I won't hesitate to place a complaint." She pushed past my shoulder and jogged up the stairs. She opened the huge double doors and slammed it shut in my face.<br/><br/>"She's not wrong." Ace yelled from the car making me angrier than I already am.<br/><br/>"I swear to God Ace, if you utter one more word."<br/><br/>"Asshole is what she should've called you D. You just scared away my new friend." Alessa yelled from the boot sulking like a toddler. I sighed for what seemed the hundredth time tonight and got in my car.<br/><br/>"You will have to properly apologise to her." Al mumbled occupying Blossom's seat. <br/><br/>"Like hell I will."<br/><br/>"Look D! You need to stop acting like an ass. We've just met her and it's obvious she is not like one of those hoes you hook up with. She is a good person who deserves to be respected and you already violated that." She sighed and flickered her tongue, something she does when she is completely disappointed and lately, I seemed to be doing just that.<br/><br/>"The least you could do is apologise." Hayes reached out and pat my shoulder. <br/><br/>"How the fuck do you push a girl like that bro!" Ace said as I pulled out of the drive way.<br/><br/>"The least you could've done is catch her before she hit her head. For a second I thought we'd have to dump her dead body in the sea." He laughed hitting Hayes' arm for support.<br/><br/>"You're jokes are not remotely funny asshole." Al countered earning a chuckle from me.<br/><br/>He scoffed. "Atleast I can crake one."<br/><br/>"Okay! Well how about this.:-" She cleared her throat and turned to face Ace. <br/><br/>"Roses are red, your blood is too. You look like a monkey and belong in a zoo. Do not worry, I'll be there too. Not in the cage,But laughing at you." She snickered and flicked her hair side ways. Hayes and I burst out in laughter while he hit Ace's sulking face. <br/><br/>"How is that for a joke genius." I laughed and fist bumped Alessa. Maybe this night wasn't a complete disaster.</p>
