Pull Me Deep

@ past the time
Peyton could feel the music from the sidewalk, the way it pulled through her body actually pulled her from her funk. She smiled over at Meg as she was already dancing her way up the path to the door. “Tonight we are getting drunk.” She told Peyton stressing they were both going to let loose. Shaking her head she knew she didn’t have any more excuses. She’d finished her pills off earlier this month, and she had a clean bill of health. So the only thing stopping her from actually partying was getting out of her own head. Sure she’s partied till she blacked out but really the last few parties she’s been to were fun, but she had a feeling this one wouldn’t have the same in store. “Fine, but I’m going to pace myself.” She told her, she’d more than likely nurse the same cup all night. After all it had been months since she’d gotten drunk and she more than likely couldn’t hold her liquor.

Once inside she felt Meg grab her arm, quickly dragging her towards the kitchen. The place was packed to say the least. It was almost impossible to find any one in this place. But that didn’t stop her from looking. Meg smiled at her and yelled something over the noise but she missed it. Raising a brow she looked at her knowing she’d most likely mentioned Kyle. With a shrug of her shoulders she grabbed a cup before moving to the keg and pouring herself some. It was the only alcohol in the building she’d trust. The rest had already opened and most likely spiked, and that was a hard pass.

Sipping on the drink she raised a brow it was cheap shit for sure, but she could already tell by the time this cup was gone so was she. It had been rough on her not parting it up like she used to. However it had opened her eyes to who the true people in her life were. Turning to look for Meg she frowned realizing they’d already found the point to split up. Shaking her head she knew exactly where her friend was at and that was in the middle of the dance floor. Sighing she kicked back against the wall sipping at her beer. Tonight was going to be interesting.

Kyle moved through the crowd and with one glance to the main floor, he noticed Meg which meant Peyton was around somewhere but he was doing his best not to be noticed by her. He drained his cup in one swallow, sat the empty cup down as he shoved some dude away from Meg and took his place, pressed his mouth close to Meg’s ear as he produced the small bag of pills in front of her as they moved.”Wanna have a good time? Free of charge.” He asked, knowing Meg was the type to never turn down a fun time and who else would he want his free product to go too?

Meg hadn’t meant to ditch Peyton, but once she’d gotten her drink Brent had come up and already started to drag her on to the dance floor. He wasn’t one for normally dancing by himself, but that was why she always had fun he could always be found. And since Peyton didn’t drink and dance as of late she’d had to make friends of her own. As the music changed from song to song she lost herself in the music, dancing with one person after the next. Most guys got handsy and she didn’t mind till they tried to lure her off the dance floor. Tonight it just wasn’t happening. She was in the mood to celebrate. And the only thing that could have made this better was Peyton joining her. She noticed the change in partners wanting to complain, but bit her lip when she heard the voice in her ear. A soft smirk pulling at her lips before she turned to face him. Her body pressing roughly up against his. “And what kind of fun would go along with that?” She asked him, her hand sliding up his chest.

Kyle bit back a smile because normally, he probably wouldn’t hesitate to take Meg up on that offer but she was Peyton’s best friend and he could also assume Meg knew nothing of their thing between them and while he was single and Peyton made it clear how she felt, he didn’t think he could cross that line.”How about we go get a drink and talk about it.” He clasped a hand over Meg’s as he slowly began to pull her from the floor.

Meg let out a soft whine, “oh your just a party pooper.” She teased him, following him off the floor. Though she was kind of uneasy about the whole ordeal. She knew Peyton had been pinning over him. And normally she wouldn’t put herself out there. But he did have a few little friends she really wanted, and they tended to make her a bit more handsy than she liked. But seeing who she was with it wouldn’t make her any differences. Though there was Peyton she’d have to face afterwards. “I don’t think it’s really a good idea.” She told him being honest. “I really would love to have fun, but with you puts me on the outs with Peyton.” She looked at him looked at the line of people getting drinks. Though she didn’t mind hanging out for a bit she didn’t really think she could go through with doing more than just hanging. “She’s my best friend and I don’t want to do that to her.” She hinted around at more going on, knowing how Peyton felt.

"And do what to her exactly?" Kyle questioned as he grabbed a hold of her hand and pulled her from the line of people as he cut in front and grabbed two cups much to the dismay of a few people but Kyle rolled his eyes and gave them hard looks."Peyton pretty much showed how she felt so she doesn't really get to hold a claim she doesn't have and what, she gonna be mad at you for having the balls she doesn't?" He questioned with a shrug as he took a sip his drink."But I get it, girl code or what the fuck ever." Kyle tossed her the bag of the few mdma pills."I wasn't kidding though, free of charge so go find a guy and have some fun or something."

"Fuck her over." She said to him, like he was crazy. Of course she'd spoke to Peyton about her feeling and the girl denied everything. It was because she didn't know what kind of feelings she was dealing with. She furrowed her brows when he said she'd made it clear what she wanted. "Well don't let my virgin give you such a hard time. She one hell of a tease." She told him smirking at him taking the pills and walking off. Walking out of the kitchen she spotted Peyton not far off. She seemed pretty bored, the guys who were surrounding her were hoping for her attention. Meg stuck her tongue out at her friend when she got her attention. Before lifting the baggy and showing her the pills. It was sort of her way letting her know she'd more than likely be fucking off some where soon.

Peyton rolled her eyes at her friend. She couldn't explain how the worked, but they did. Meg wasn't ever anyone truly close to Peyton before the beginning of school like most of her old friends were. But when Peyton got sick Meg stepped in and understood what she was going through. Where the other's were constantly dragging her every time she missed a party or a class. And it really took it's toll on her and her ability to trust people. It was one of the main reason she was so stand offish. Though her time with Kyle seemed to be some of the best time's she'd had since she'd gotten out of the hospital. And honestly she didn't know what she should or shouldn't do. He'd already made it a point to brush her off.

Kyle thought about what Meg had said and maybe she knew more than she let on or maybe she just knew Peyton, he didn't know but he watched her walk away and as he stood there with a drink in his hand, he really wondered why he decided to come tonight. He wasn't needed, his boys had everything under control like they said they would.

He turned to head out of the kitchen but stopped in his tracks as he saw Peyton leaning against the wall, guys crowding around her but she paid them no mind. A part of Kyle wanted to turn the other way and pretend to not have seen her and the other thought maybe he could swallow his pride and fix this thing somehow. And against his better judgement, he moved toward her.

Peyton against her better judgement had gotten herself another drink and then found herself leaned against a wall. She’d been feeling a bit lighter, however her mind clear. She’d been surprised that she could hold down as much. “So why don’t you want to dance?” She heard a guy ask her. Turning her attention to him she shrugged. “I just don’t feel like dancing.” She told him. “And I kinda just wanna be alone with my beer right now.” She told him. It had been her go to line and most of the night it’d been working. Most guys didn’t fee like trying that hard to night or they couldn’t get an opening to her cup that she keep guarded. And like the others he dropped the topic of dancing, but it didn’t stop him from finding another angle. “So glad to be done with exams?” He questioned, the way he put it out there it seemed like it wasn’t necessarily aimed at her. And she didn’t intend to answer. Instead she pushed away from the wall and turned to moved away, hoping she’d slip away from their attention.

A spark of jealousy might have crossed his mind as he stepped into her path."My, my, my, fancy seeing you around." He nodded his head behind her, towards the guys that were hanging around."You have them drooling at your feet. Not gonna let one of them take you home? Poor bastards." He tsked with a smirk playing on his lips.

Peyton felt her heart skip a beat when Kyle appeared in front of her. She did her best to fight off a smile. She was still upset he’d brushed her off earlier. However instead she focused on what he had to say. “Well I’m not drunk enough.” She told him honestly, know a few more drinks and she might be swayed to go with anyone. But she rarely left with anyone unless they were of the same sex. She’d never been one for girl action and that’s one of the reason why Meg called her a virgin. “So why are you done being mad at me?” She asked him moving closer to him. The alcohol in her system making her feel bolder. She could feel eyes in her as she moved but the only ones that matter were the ones she was look in to.

"Wasn't really mad at you, just annoyed. You do this hot and cold thing with me. One minute you look like you're enjoying yourself then the next you look at me like I'm just scum on the bottom of your shoe." Kyle shrugged."All I asked from you was to admit you like me, that my lifestyle gives you a thrill, it's enticing because you think it's bad." And she stepped closer and Kyle moved back from her, he could see the look on her face."So, like I said, when you're ready to say that to my face, you know where to find me."

Peyton froze when he step away from her. She hated the distance between them but he kept putting it there. It was a dose of her own medicine, she’d done it with everyone but Meg. And quite honestly it sucked. “So you want me to lie?” She questioned him, before downing the remainder of her beer. Her eyes moved up to meet his. “I don’t want anything to do with your lifestyle.” She told him. “I was only ever around you because I needed your notes. It was you that made me like you and it’s your lifestyle that makes me go cold.” She told him. “I’m not here looking for some kind of high or fix.” She scoffed at him. “I don’t need you for that.” She shook her head, pissed that he thought she was one of those girl who got off on the bad guys. Peyton was pissed now, not really knowing what to say. However it felt like she’d fucked everything up more so then before. Turning she started to moved towards the door. Her buzz or high or whatever the hell it was was wearing off and now she just wanted to escape. She needed some air. Pushing through the door she sighed once she felt the cool air on her face.

Kyle didn't know what to say, he was both a bit stunned, the feeling of being rejected but also hurt, he pressed his lips into a hard line and nodded."You're right, we were nothing more than a business transaction. So glad you cleared that up." And he abruptly turned on his heel, getting lose within the crowd.

His lifestyle was the biggest part of who he was and one of the biggest accomplishments he had ever done, creating his empire from the ground up and if she couldn't support that or get over, that was something that couldn't be helped and they would never work.

And he liked that Peyton didn't want anything from him, it was refreshing because he could pick up ten girls in the room and each of them probably wouldn't hesitate to go with him because they knew he could supply them with anything they could ask for.

Peyton found herself sitting down on the railing outside. Her head resting on the wall as she tried to sober up. She didn't want to leave by herself as it wasn't ever a good idea. But since the party was in full swing no one was looking at wanting to leave just yet. Closing her eyes she groaned knowing she would regret all of tonight tomorrow. And the sad thing was she wasn't even drunk and couldn't blame on that. Instead she had to ruin everything. She'd been so busy trying to build her future she forgot to live. And now she didn't even know how to have a basic human interaction.

Shaking her head she decided not to wallow in her pity instead she was going to drink the night was. That's what parties were for, right. Getting trashed and not worrying about anything. Standing up she moved back inside. Her eyes swept the room, looking for Meg. She knew that she wasn't going to find her. Brushing it off she headed into the kitchen. And quickly getting herself a drink. And then downing it before refilling it. Taking her cup she moved through crowd and out on to the dance floor. She just wanted to forget her stupidity.

Kyle was dancing and drinking with some unknown girl, didn't quite catch her name but his phone beeped and buzzed and with an annoyed sigh, he slipped it from his pocket, read over the messages before he was hyped, feeling anger rushing through as he bolted upstairs.

Bryce, some junior, had Drew pinned against the wall, the music made it had to even understand with the shouting. The room was a mess, money and paraphernalia everywhere.

Sam was trying to pull him away but he didn't budge.

Kyle slipped his arms under Bryce, jerking him away, forcefully tossing him out of the room and without warning, Bryce headbutted Kyle and Kyle heard the crack of bone, the pooling of blood rushing down into his mouth, his chin and onto his shirt.

With a humorless smile, he looked to Bryce, reared his arm back and the pop landed on his cheek.

The real tussle between them began, a heated exchange of words and fists flying.

The music quickly died as everyone stood back in both shock and fright as the boys stumbled down the stairs, his gun sliding across the floor as they landed.

Kyle getting the upper hand as he landed on top, and grabbed the other by the collar of his shirt and slammed Bryce’s head into the stair as he began to repeatedly punch him over and over, blood covered both of them.

The shrill sound of sirens were heard in the distance and slowly rose louder and louder as the cops got closer and everyone began to quickly scramble out.

Kyle jerked his bloodied and ripped shirt off, bumped his knuckles against Drew and Sam’s as they dashed upstairs to gather what they could.

Kyle dropped his shirt into the trash and his eyes caught sight of both Meg and Peyton standing together in the middle of the floor. He reached up and pinched his bleeding nose with a grimace.

He bent down, plucked his gun up and stuffed it into his pants and he quirked an eyebrow to the two girls.”You two just gonna wait around for the cops or what?” He asked as he dug his keys from his pocket.

Peyton sighed as she entered the kitchen, Bobbie from her math class leading her in. She frowned when she seen Meg. She'd some how managed to get herself into one of the lower cabinets and was hiding. She was giggling loudly, leaning down Peyton looked at her friend. "Are you having fun?" She asked, watching her friend motion for her to be quite. "He's suppose to find me." She told Peyton. Turning to look up at Bobbie, who just shrugged as they couldn't figure out who he was. "Well he gave up and said you won." Peyton told her. "So why don't you come out and we can go play different game?" She suggested hoping it would peak her interest enough for her to be able to get her out of the party. It was starting to drag for Peyton as the keg was empty and she wasn't taking her chances with the liquor. Meg struggled to exit the cabinet, however she'd gotten in there was a mystery. But once she was out Peyton wrapped her arm around her so she didn't wander off.

As they made their way into the living room, the could hear a loud ruckus from upstairs. Turning to face the stairs and two guys descended, the fight in progress caused a louder commotion as people tried to flee in order to get out of their way. Peyton and Meg were pushed back into the crowd and lost sight of what was really happening. Though there was quite a bit of talk of what was going on. And she felt her heart in her throat as they mentioned Kyle. Her thoughts taking her on a wild trip, she just hoped that whatever happened he'd be fine.

The sound of sirens seemed to break everyone out of their awe stricken daze, and the screaming of the word 'cops', resounded from different areas of the party. People quickly vacating the premises. Though Peyton could move, as her eyes were glued to Kyle she watched as he pulled his shirt over his head. Quickly letting her eyes roam his body, not seeing any noticeable damage, till her eyes took in his face. The blood was an indication of a broken nose. Though she couldn't say he didn't deserve it. However she didn't know anything about why they were fighting. Just that the guy he'd kicked the shit out of seemed to be out cold. Hearing his words she snapped out of her daze. "You can't drive like that." She told him, knowing that he'd never get very far with this nose bleeding. "I'll drive you." She told him, knowing that he'd trusted her enough in the past to do so. But she wasn't about to let him get into a wreck due to his injuries.

Moving out of the house with him and Meg, she located his car quickly before pushing Meg off into the back seat. And then taking a spot in the driver seat. Taking the keys from him she quickly started the car and took off. She could see the cop lights in the rear view mirror as she turned to leave. "What happened?" She questioned him, wondering if he'd even tell her. As she'd already said she didn't want to be apart of his life.

Kyle didn't have much say in the matter as Peyton took his keys from his fingers. He followed out and watched her put Meg in the back as he slipped in the passenger seat and she cranked his car and began driving. He glanced back to Meg."She seems to be having a great time."

He leaned up, took the gun and shoved it in the glove compartment as he harshly flipped the sun visor down, looking at the damage to his face. Dried, rust colored blood was smeared all over his chin, his nose tender and slightly offset. Bruises bloomed beneath his eyes and he was going to be hella pain once the adrenaline wore off.

He slapped the visor up as he rested his head on the headrest as he glanced over to her and as much as he wanted to make some snide comment about minding her own fucking business since clearly, this lifestyle made her skin crawl, he didn't.”Maybe you can ask Bryce for me when he wakes up.” He shrugged.”Really don't have a clue, he and Drew were already going at it when I got up there.” His phone beeped at that moment, it was Sam telling him they had gotten what they needed and had eluded cops, that the boys in blue were still on campus asking questions.”Cops are still crawling on campus.”

Peyton furrowed her brows when he admitted to not knowing what was going on or why he’d been fighting. Just that he’d jumped into help a friend. “Well you can’t go back looking like that.” She said to no one, knowing it wasn’t smart to evade the law. But she wasn’t going to allow him to get in trouble for being attacked and defending himself. Not know where else to go she turned off towards the lake. It wasn’t very big more like a pond, but most people enjoyed fishing, camping and picnicking there. So she figure they’d be alright there till the heat died down.

As she parked the car she turned to look at him. She wasn’t sure what to say or do in this type of situation. Part of her wanted to just take care of him. But she was snapped out of her thoughts when Meg said she might be sick. “Not in the car.” Peyton said before quickly getting out and the helping drag the girl out of the back seat. She watched as she stumbled off to the trees before turning to look at Kyle. “He got you pretty good,” she told him. Knowing it wasn’t going to be a pretty sight for a while. And he would be feeling it in the morning.

Kyle dug around in the backseat until he found an old shirt that he thought belonged to Sam and he slipped it over his head."Nothing I can't handle." He shrugged though he did wish he could have gotten his hands on a pain pill or two.

He ventured down toward the pond, plopped down on the ground, the pond was mostly quiet, a ripple here or there, a fish or some other creature scurrying around in the water.

In the distance, he could hear Meg laughing and moving through the heavy brush and he wondered how many of those pills she actually took but he didn’t say anything as he looked around. It was just them.

And he could feel the weird tension between he and Peyton and he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to say after their fight earlier.
