Broken

CH. 12

Second update as promised. Please let me know what you guys think. You guys have been really great!

Will was dressed in a black button-down, dress pants, and combat boots.

"Ain't he handsome?" she asked walking up to him.

I leaned down to buckle my stilettos and nodded.

"Ready to relieve some stress?" Will asked holding his arms out

"You bet we are" I took one arm and Jade took the other.

The pit was packed, as people were dancing to the beat of the music, drinks were being passed around. The music was fast past and it was easy to find the beat. I found myself looking, as usual, to see if I saw Eric, sure enough, he was tucked away in a private spot with his playmate, even in the dark I could tell his eyes found mine and slid down my body and then back up to my face with a scowl. I smiled.

"Let's get this party started, we need some drinks," Will said disappearing.

"So, how are things going for you guys?" I ask her as we moved to the music.

"Great, we're even talking about getting married after Initiation?" she cheered
"That's great" I hugged her neck.

"Alright you two here's to forgetting everything and just having fun" he raised his beer.
"Be here now" I repeated Mom's words holding my up.
"Cheers," Jade joined us.

I saw Peter dancing awkwardly and I waved him over, I know he said that about my Mother but I found it pathetic and felt sorry for him.

Peter smiled and walked over to us, his eyes traveled up and down my body.

"Might I say I'm a fan of this dress" he chuckled his puppy dog eyes meeting mine
"Thank you," I say.
"Why don't you get us some shots," I asked him
"My pleasure" he smirked before disappearing.

"Alright, whoever makes a face buys the next round" Peter handing us our shots.
"Deal" we agreed.

I threw mine back and felt the fire burn my throat but didn't flinch, Will did, Jade didn't and Peter didn't.

After a few rounds, we started all dancing together.

Peter drew me to his arms and put his hands on my hips. I could feel my body becoming loose and warm. I giggled because I knew I was drunk.

"You know you've got the cutest puppy dog eyes," I told Peter pinching his cheeks.
"Why thank you," he said.

"Here you go one more shot" Peter gave me a glass, I downed it with no questions.

A slow song came on and I put my arms around Peters' neck, we swayed slowly, I felt Peter move his hands and caresses my backside, I pulled away and giggled.

"Why Peter, are you getting fresh with me?" I snickered
"You could say that," he said before he kissed my neck.

I pulled back and saw Eric instead of Peter he smiled as he brought his mouth to my neck, I moaned and ran my fingers through his hair. I pulled back and was met with brown instead of blue. I frowned and pulled away.

"Wait," I told him to which he just pulled me closer
"Stop," I told him firmer
"Listen, don't worry about the scars, we'll do it with the lights off" he groaned in my ear.
"I said stop" I screeched

"What you don't want me because I'm not Eric?" he sneered.
"You're drunk and I am too, let's get some coffee," I told him and went to pull his arm.

He drew back and slapped me. I winced, my anger boiled over at the point.

I was done...

"I've had it" I bellowed, clenched my teeth, I glare at Peter who swallowed deeply and took a step back.

I brought my hand to my cheek and saw blood, I chuckle then lower my head and pin him with my eyes.

I felt Wills hand on my shoulder.

"I'd advise you to start running," Jade told Peter, who looked around nervously before backing away. I started slowly walking towards him,

"I'm sorry-" he whimpered before he started running with me on his on trails

Will grabbed my arms and pinned them against my back, I surged forward breaking free of his grasp, I didn't recognize the snarl that came from me.

"You gotta save me man" I heard Peter pleading with someone as I rounded the corner.

He was talking to Eric who scowled before he saw me running and rolled his eyes.

"Initiate" he barked at me.

I had such fury in my veins I knocked him down. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and rolled me beneath him.

"You guys get back to the party, nothing to see here," he said. I heard their footsteps depart.

Eric wrapped his hands around my throat, I bared my teeth like I did in the training room.

"Is that supposed to scare me?" he scoffs

I growled at him and go to hit him, he blocked my attack easily. His eyes are dark and I can see the lust in them.

I chuckle darkly and I feel him hard at my inner thigh, I break his grasp and reach down and begin to massage him, he groaned and pressed into my hand.

"Just an emotional response?" I say taking his lobe between my ear and sucking
"You're playing with fire," he said still pressing into my hand.

I massaged him harder now, I chuckle as his hips shift faster.

"What's wrong Cupcake?" I moaned biting his neck.

He finally grips my hand forcefully and pulls it away, he's panting then he glances at my lip where it's still bleeding and freezes.

"What happened?" he asked me wiping them blood with his shirt.
"Peter hit me," I tell him
"What?" he snarls then releases me and jumps up before grabbing me by the wrist and leading to the infirmary.

Mag looks from me to Eric and then to my bleeding lip, she grows angry.

"Calm down, he didn't do it," I tell her before she lectures him, this seems to placate her.
"You stay here, I'm going to Max," he said marching away.
"Ooh he's angry," Mag tells me.

"Yeah, maybe we should give him some peace serum" I giggle then wince as I put an icepack to my cheek.

Mag's pocket vibrates and then she smiles.

"We are in needed in Max's office," she tells me.

Mag knocks on his office door and opens the door when he says we can enter.

I held the bag to my cheek, Peter sat in one chair and I sat on the one left of him.

"Ms. Johnson, Shade please have a seat," he tells me with a smile.

I look at Peter who looks somewhere between scared and irritated.

"Is it true that Peter slapped you, at the Pit tonight?" he asked me point blank

I remove my ice pack to reveal angry finger prints on my cheek, then place it back on.

"Well, that's all the evidence I need, Peter you are to help the kitchen staff with clean up every day for the remainder of initiation," Max said

Peter narrowed his eyes at me at me and Eric cleared his throat causing him to look away.

"You both may go now" Max dismisses us.

Why was Eric mad because Peter slapped me?
