Ocean

~~

"Alright Ocean, I am going to head home now. Kai will be here any minute, and as much as I love the two of you, I don't need to see your PDA's." My mom actually had the nerve to shudder like something was disgusting.

"We are not that bad. We don't do public displays of affection in front of parents. It's like an unspoken rule." I glared at her as I heard her laugh.

"You do it more than you think. You might not kiss, but you're always being so cuddly and going goo goo and gaga over each other. It can be a little too much for a mother. Come on and give me a break here, Ocean. I love you, but I don't want to see that." She shuddered again and that just made me want to laugh now.

"Alright then, go. I want to see Makai when he gets here anyway." I hugged her when she leaned in and felt her lips against my cheek when she kissed me.

"I will call you later to check up on you, but I told the hospital to let Kai stay tonight. He is just as much your family now as I am, and he is over eighteen. They shouldn't give him any trouble. Especially since Dr. Malachi talked to them as well. If they do say something, call him and he will take care of it."

"OK." I kissed her cheek after answering her and felt her pull away from me. "I love you, Mom." I smiled at her and told her what I knew she wanted to hear. It was the truth though, so I didn't mind saying it at all.

"I love you too." There was sorrow in her eyes, like she was sad to be leaving me here in this place alone.

"I will be fine. Call me later or I will call you. And I will be out of here soon, so don't worry about me at all."

"I know, sweetie." She leaned in and kissed me once more before she grabbed her purse and left me. "I will see you tomorrow."

With that, my mom left. Since Justin had come back to the room yesterday, it was the first time that anyone had left me alone in a room. I know they were all worried about me and scared because of what had happened, but I was fine, for the most part, and I would be getting out of here soon. They didn't need to worry that much anymore.

I could use the few minutes alone to think and process everything that had happened. I was going to do that yesterday, but that didn't exactly go according to plan. Not to mention, I was even more humiliated after that incident.

Trust me when I tell you that Makai didn't like hearing the details of either attack. And he was especially not happy when he heard that Justin had grabbed me in a certain place while giving me a hickey. That had nearly sent Makai into a homicidal rage. At that time, he hadn't cared that Justin was acting under the Siren's song, he just wanted to see Justin's head roll.

I don't blame him really. Had the situation been reversed I would be just as pissed off. Jealousy and possessiveness seem to come with the territory of being mated. I, like Makai, have adopted a 'don't you dare touch what is mine' type of mentality.

As I thought about all of this, and tried to process what happened yesterday, I heard the door to my room start to open and then close softly. I had been sitting there with my head leaning back against the pillow and my eyes closed. I knew that Makai would think that I was asleep so I decided to fake being asleep to see what he would do or say. This was a rare opportunity for me.

Only, there didn't seem to be any rush for him to get to me. He seemed to have stopped halfway across the room and was just standing there. What was he doing? Why was he just standing there? I was about to open my eyes and ask him but there was no need.

"Such a pathetic sight." I heard the voice of my least favorite person, but she was closer to me than I had thought based on the footsteps. She must have moved almost silently after she was halfway into the room. "I fucking hate you, do you know that?"

"What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped my eyes open and glared at Brittney's face. Her eyes were angry, and her face was filled with disgust. She looked like she had just stepped in a pile of dog shit with her brand new shoes and was pissed off about it.

"I am here to destroy you, Ocean. This is just another stage in my plan. I have turned everyone at school against you and Makai. Ben and Ryan as well. All four of you are nothing but gay outcasts now. You won't ever be able to go back to school. You will be tormented every minute of every day. If you do, you'll just end up being driven to kill yourself. That's what you should do anyway. Put yourself out of your misery and just end it already." I saw the glee in her eyes as she spoke. She thought this was all just a game like the things she said would never come back to bite her in the ass.

"Fuck you, Brittney!" I snapped at her and gave her a look so full of loathing that it was a shock that she didn't physically feel it. Then again, she might have felt it if she wasn't such a raging bitch. "I know that you're lying to me, so just cut the shit and leave me alone."

"No, Ocean, I don't think that I will. You see, I turned eighteen last month, so there is something that I would like to try out." I could see that Brittney was grinning at me and looking as if she truly wanted to do something, but I didn't know what she had planned. I was bracing myself though. I would fight my damnedest to make sure that I kept her at bay without hurting her.

"And what might that be, Bitch, I mean Britt?" I couldn't help but use the little insult to her name.

"When I am done with you, Ocean, you will never speak to me like that again. Hell, I could turn you straight and make you mine. I can do anything that I want." She was maniacal now. I really didn't like what she was saying. It was freaking me out.

"And just what are you going to do?" I glared at her while staying completely on edge.

"Just listen." She smirked at me and leaned forward until her face was just inches away from mine.

At that moment, Brittney started to sing. She was literally singing right into my face, and I could see the smug and conceited look on her face while she did it.

"♪ Hear me now Ocean. Listen to my voice. Hear my words and follow my orders. You won't have a choice. You will leave the school. You won't want to come back. You will leave Makai. You will run away and never come back."

What the hell was going on here? What the hell was she trying to do? What was the matter with her? I didn't get this at all, but she didn't seem to be done either. Not to mention, her rhyming skills sucked, and her lyrics were shitty. Too bad it wasn't over yet.

"♪ If you come back to school, you will kill yourself. If you don't leave Makai, he will kill you. No one wants you Ocean. Doesn't that make you feel bad?"

"Uhm, Brittney, what the hell are you trying to do?" I had to put an end to this. It was just getting worse and worse. And there was also the fact that her lyrics were really dark and cruel towards me.

"What the hell are you talking about? I am singing to you. You will need to do everything that I say. That is how it works."

"How what works?" I asked her with my eyebrows drawn in, reluctant to feel the curiosity that was bubbling inside of me.

"The fucking songs. They're supposed to make you do whatever I say."

I could see the anger on her face, and it was getting so much worse. She was pissed at me, all because I didn't really understand what she was wanting from me.

"So, that's how it is." I heard the door fling open and Makai's voice come in from the hallway.

There was a moment of chaos and confusion. Brittney spun to face the door and saw Makai staring at her with his parents on either side of him. The way that Makai and his parents were looking at Brittney showed me that they knew what was going on, but I simply wasn't following along.

"Makai?" I called out to him, shocked and happy at the same time. Despite my being clueless at the moment, I was elated to be seeing him.

"Hello Ocean. I missed you." He seemed just as relieved as me when he saw me. That was so easy to see in his green eyes and the set of his lips.. Even though he was so mad at Britt the bitch, and was just looking at her with pure loathing, he was looking at me so kindly and sweetly.
