Psycho

25

{Evan}

Allison is sitting on my lap, with my arms wrapped around her waist. It's almost midnight, which means the new year is almost starting.

'What were you two doing upstairs?' Stacy asks Allison.

'Nothing,' Allison mumbles, her cheeks turning red. I chuckle at the sight of her.

'I know enough,' Stacy laughs before she turns to Liam again. Suddenly everyone starts screaming, counting from ten to one. Allison stands up and pulls me with her.

'Happy new year,' we say to each other when everyone starts to yell. I kiss Allison softly on her lips. Finally a new year, a year in which I'm finally getting to know Allison, really getting to know her.

Allison gives Stacy a hug, wishing her a happy new year as well. When Allison grabs her phone her happy face fades away. A sad expression forms in her eyes.

'What is it?' I ask her, grabbing her hand.

'My parents,' she mumbles. 'They didn't even wish me a happy new year.' I pull her into a hug and she lays her head on my chest.

'It just sucks,' she whispers. 'I'm fighting with my parents over a boy, a fucking boy!'

'They should stick with your side,' I say to her. 'You're their daughter.' She nods and sighs before she backs away from my arms.

'I really hope they come around,' she says.

'They will,' I assure her. 'Eventually they'll see that Asher is a dick.' Allison nods and gives me a soft smile. A smile that makes me go weak. She's so drop-dead gorgeous.

'I need something to drink,' Allison mumbles. 'Do you want anything?' I shake my head and watch her as she walks towards the kitchen.

'You two are so adorable together!' Stacy exclaims. 'You are made for each other.'

'Thanks,' I say. 'I really like her.'

'I can tell,' she smiles. 'You care about her in a way Asher never did.'

'Talking about me?' I look next to me and see Allison standing there with a red cup in her hand.

'I'll leave you two alone,' Stacy says before she walks back to Liam. He wraps his arm around her and places a small kiss on her forehead. I think Stacy is done messing around with everyone.

'Are you sleeping with me tonight?' Allison asks me.

'Sure,' I say to her. 'At my dorm or yours?'

'We'll go to yours,' she says. I nod and place my hand on her cheek. She looks at me, a sparkle is seen in her blue eyes. I'm so badly in love with her. She doesn't even realize how she makes me feel. I want to be with her all the fucking time. I want to touch her, kiss her, do everything to make her feel good, special.

'Why are you looking at me like that?' Allison giggles, her cheeks getting flushed.

'How?' I ask her.

'Just so... intense.' I bite my lip and let my fingertips glide towards her neck.

'I really like you,' I tell her. It's too soon to tell her I'm in love with her. I can't tell her this early on.

'I like you too,' she smiles. Our moment is interrupted by the sound of Allisons phone ringing. She looks confused when she sees who's calling her.

'Mom?' she mumbles when she picks up. I can't hear what her mother is saying, but I hope it's a good conversation.

'No, I don't want to see him,' Allison says. 'Why did you do that?'

'You don't understand!' Tears are forming in her eyes. 'You don't know what happened between us!'

What is going on? Allison is getting more and more desperate, trying to convince her mother it's a bad idea. I don't know what she did, but I'm guessing it has something to do with Asher.

'I won't talk to him!' she yells. 'He ruined everything!'

'He's willing to give you another chance!' Her mother is screaming so loud even I can hear her. 'Don't be so ungrateful!'

'Allison?' We both look up and see Asher standing in the doorway. Oh hell no. This isn't happening. Allisons mouth drops open and she puts her phone away.

'What are you doing here?' she asks him.

'I want to give you, us, another shot,' he says.

'I don't,' she says to him. 'You should leave.'

'What the hell, Allison?' His voice is getting angry. 'I skipped the vacation, drove all the way to you! For fucks sake, I was alone in my car at twelve, wanting to give us another chance! Yet here you are, already moved on with that... that asshole!' He's pointing to me. I swear to god, if he makes another comment...

'I've always known you are nothing but a fucking slut!' he yells. 'All you ever care about is getting laid! Well, good job. You've done it again. I'm sure Evan is happy to let you suck his dick! How long will it be until you move on to the next one? A week? A month? We both know one guy isn't enough for you. It's not exciting to just be loyal to one guy, is it? You just need a double life with someone else. You're just a dirty, little-' Before he can finish his sentence my anger overflows me and I let my fist hit his jaw, hard.  Asher stumbles a few steps back, not really realizing what just happened. I use his confusion to push him against the wall and hit him again, and again. Asher hits me back a few times, but I barely feel anything. I can't think straight anymore. Everything around us seems to have disappeared. I only hear some screaming voices in the background. My only focus is on Asher, trying to hurt him as badly as I can. My fist keeps on hitting his face.

Suddenly someone pulls me away from him.

'You're killing him!' I hear someone scream. Asher sinks down onto the floor, his body collapsing. He lays still for a few moments, people are gathering around him. I hear someone calling 911.

'The ambulance and police are coming,' someone says.

I back away. I can't deal with the police. He isn't dead, is he? I can't spend my time in jail. I was just sticking up for Allison. Where is she? I look around and see Allison staring at me, a shocked expression on her face. She almost looks... afraid. What have I done?

I start to walk away, run away. I don't stop until I'm at my car. I get in and sigh deeply. My head is pounding and my chest is rising and falling quickly. My heart is racing and when I look at my hands, they are shaking. There is blood at my knuckles. I don't know if it's mine or Ashers. When my phone rings I grab it and see Allisons name on the screen. She is calling me.

'Evan?!' she yells when I pick up. 'Evan where are you? It's a mess in here. The cops are on their way. Are you okay?'

'I...' I stammer. 'I'm in my car.'

'Stay there,' she says. 'I'm coming.' She hangs up and I feel tears forming in my eyes. What have I done?

'Evan!' The door opens and Allison gets in. 'Fuck, are you okay?' She looks at me with a worried expression and her hand gently touches my cheek.

'Is he...' I whisper. I can't even finish that sentence.

'No, no,' Allison says quickly. 'He's okay. Well, he's injured, but he'll be fine.'

'I don't want to go to jail,' I mumble.

'You won't,' Allison assures me. She looks me in the eyes before she carefully sits down on my lap and wraps her arms around me. 'Everything will be okay.' I nod and rest my head on her shoulder.

'I'm so sorry,' I whisper. 'I... I didn't know what I was doing. I was just so angry at him.'

'You were just sticking up for me,' she says. 'I'll talk to the police as well. You'll be just fine.' I nod again and a shivering breath leaves my mouth.

'Come on, you should go talk to them.' She opens the door of my car and gets out. I get out as well and follow her to the house.
