Until Dawn ~ Another Path {Josh x OC}

Chapter 6

After Sam and Ashely helped me with my cuts and cleaned my hands, we went back into the living room, unfortunately walking right into a fight.

"Are you trying to swallow his face hole?" Emily said in her nasty tone.

"Em.." Matt tried to calm her down.

"Like seriously, can she get any more obvious?" She said ignoring Matt.

"No one wants in on your territory honey."

"Excuse me, did you say something?" Jess replied, obviously getting ready for a fight.

"Oh did you not hear me? Was your sluttiness too loud?"

"Sounds like someone's bitter because she didn't make the cut." Jess now up from the couch.

"Yeah. It's all a big cattle call when it comes to that dreamboat. Congrats, you're top cow."

"Cuts real deep calling Miss Homecoming a cow."

"Em, come on.." Matt once again tried to calm her down.

"Shut up Matt." Emily wasn't taking it from anyone.

"Stay out of it you dumb oaf."

That's it, I wasn't letting this spread to anyone else.

"Can you guys just friggin stop?" I walked toward them, attempting to settle the fight.

"You too? Just shut your big mouth Bella, I don't see you with anybody but the voices in your head and the cuts on your wrists." Emily spat at me.

That one hurt, bad. I grabbed my scars that were thankfully covered by my sweater, but I still felt like they were extremely prominent. Now I know what everyone really thinks about me. That was enough for me, I wasn't going any farther into Emily's game. I bowed my head to the floor and bit my lip, the two sluts continuing the fight.

Now you know what your friends really think. They know you killed us.

I sat back on the couch and grabbed my ears again, making my present cuts sting, but I didn't care. Immediately, Sam and Ashely had seen me, coming over to me grabbing my hands.

"Ignore her Bella, she's just a bitch." Ashley said holding onto my hands tightly.

Both Sam and Ashly gave me warm smiles, which I returned, thankful that they helped me stay grounded.

I heard Mike speak up for once, "Come on, now your just upsetting everyone. Don't be saying stuff like that, especially to Bella."

Josh glanced at me, and looked at me with sorrow seeing me like this.

Finally speaking up for my sake, Josh yelled "STOP IT! This is not why we came up here. This is not helping. It's not what I wanted. Just look what you're doing to Bella! You think it's her fault?!? She's depressed and you're blaming her for it! It's your faults for pulling that stupid prank! Leave her out of this!" He yelled with anger, which made me smile that he cared about me.

He took a quick second to collect himself and then he continued, "If we can't get along for 10 minutes then maybe we need a little bit of a break, right? Mike, why don't you go check out the guest cabin, the one I told you about." Josh now shutting everyone up, seeing me in this state.
