Devils' Day Party

by C.M. Stunich

When I was desperate and alone, only your smile shone through the crowd.

People are staring at me, their faces covered in masks, some of them pretty, some grotesque. I prefer the latter ones. Pretty things lie. Pretty things glitter and sparkle and beckon. At least the ugly ones just portray on the outside what's already on the in.

Theodore Rasmus Loveren aka Raz.

“You know, some part of me wants you to get pregnant.” He flexes his jaw, turning to look back at me with a face as sharp and cunning as a fox's. “Because then I'll be allowed—no, encouraged—to be with you. Otherwise, my dad will never let me have a girl like you.”

Fucking possessive and lovable bastard !!?! I mean Sir like what ? I mean sorry But what ?

can cure that. “Fucking wonderful, actually.” “How?” he asks, but the question doesn’t sound as awful as it could. So we talk. We talk until the sun peeks above the horizon and the clock on the nightstand reads 4:22 in the morning.

I knew it . Just when ehwy were having haart to heart talk Everything's gone back to normal. Except her ! Except Karma !!!!!

Nothing lasts forever. That is the nature of beautiful things.

“Raz and Calix are both in love with you, just thought you should know,”

Of fucking course they're in love with her. Who wouldn't be ? Karma's fucking awesome and so so lovable. Do you know I'm in love with you three guys ?

Without hesitation, Barron lifts up the cover and tosses it aside, revealing the black convertible with the white stripes on the front. The red bow shimmers in the morning sunlight as Barron takes the knife and slits the tires, one by one.

I mean i always knew you were a jealous ansd possessive bastard. But to destroy your brother's car all becoz she vhose him over you ? I meanI freaking love that shit I mwan everyone likes that don't they ?

We think our actions have little effect on the world around us, but that isn't true. Just one person, one moment, one single word can change somebody else's world entirely.

But people are human, fallible creatures capable of beautiful destruction. We're also capable of selfless acts, acts of true love, acts of compassion.

“The only reason Calix and Raz are here is because they couldn't keep their hands off of each other,” she replies with a smug little smirk. “Didn't know that, did you? That your boyfriend and his buddy were fucking each other?”

Oh my fucking god!!!? Like seriously? Didn't expect that but i wished for it desperately so !!!

“Karma is freedom,” Calix says with a small sigh. “She's empathy. She's everything I'm not.”
