《The Ruels of My Heart》chapter seventeen - ruel's perspective

Advertisement

I am in such a state of shock. It all happened so quickly. One moment I was about to fix things with Zac because I thought I lost him, next moment he was gone forever. I didn't get the chance to say the things I needed to. It's 3am right now. I spent all last night singing a song I first wrote about Leo, but then I realised it makes more sense to be about Zac. It's called Unsaid.

I wake up in my mum's arms. For a split second I forgot what happened. But then I remember. My fucking best friend died. How did this all happen so fast? I feel so empty. Zac was like the brother I never had. And now he's gone. He's actually gone. The more I remember all the memories with Zac the more broken I feel. I need a distraction right now. Something to get my mind off all that has happened. And I know there's only one thing that will work.

I've been at the party for about an hour now, but I'm not even drunk yet, which was the whole purpose. So I could forget what happened, just for one night at least. I can't bare to face reality right now. I finish another beer. Why am I not drunk yet? I jump up from the couch and head over to the island in the kitchen, where all the drinks are. But then I see my least favourite person in the world. Liam. We have never gotten along, but we went to the same schools as kids. He is a complete jerk. He hasn't noticed me yet because he's too busy staring at someone. I follow his intense gaze until I see who it is on. Leo. What is she doing here? But damn, she looks so good. She is wearing a tight white dress that's slightly revealing, and her hair is tied up in a sleek ponytail. When I look at her face, my heart hurts. She's so gorgeous. I can tell she's drunk though. Liam is still staring at her. I watch as he grabs a sachet with some sort of powder in it out of his pocket, tip it into a drink, and walk up to Leo. What is he doing?

"Hey," he says to her. She spins around, slightly off balance, and spots him. He continues to talk, "Do you want a drink?" He asks, offering her the drink with the sketchy powder in it.

Leo puts the biggest smile on her face and starts jumping up and down. She squeals a response I can't quite understand, but from her drowsy voice, I can tell she is definitely drunk. She takes the glass out of Liam's hand and puts it up to her lips, about to take a sip. I can see the powder he put in the drink fizzing. I don't know what it is, but it can't be good. My fists are clenching instinctively. I can't stop myself from doing it... I lunge forward and knock the glass out of her hand and it smashes on the floor. Her shocked eyes meet mine. God those eyes get to me... Suddenly I feel sharp knuckles slammed against my cheek. The pain is ridiculous. I turn around and see Liam about to throw another punch at me.

"What the heck man?" I spit, rubbing my face which already hurts like fuck. Liam throws another punch at me. "Dude, stop!" I yell at him. But he doesn't stop. So I can't help it. I punch him back in defence. It feels so good to be releasing my anger. I know I should stop, but I don't. I throw another punch at him. I have always been taller and stronger then Liam, so in a matter of seconds I have him pinned against the wall.

"Never do something like that again," I tell him firmly.

"What? I didn't do anything!" Liam lies.

"Let go of him!" I hear a voice yell. I turn around and it's Leo again.
