Ch.1

Merida Allen was happy with her college life.

She's together with her famous boyfriend who is know through the whole school.

Timothy Green, a kind caring boy that is quite capable of passing his grades. The reason he is famous is because he used to be a badboy, bullying other students in his class.

It was a dark side he had before he met Merida. But she changed him, for the better.

Timothy's gang don't even care for a bit if he wanted to stop being an asshole. So they were never really a problem.

Maybe except for Bryan Ward who's been giving Merida a silent treatment ever since she got together with Timothy.

Though some are still scared and have a grudge on the guy for the things he did wrong...

Some could only glare at Timothy for carrying teacher's bags and opening doors for other people.

"Hey! Good morning Tim!" Merida greeted with a smile as she saw him just finished picking up books a kid dropped.

Merida was so proud of the character development, that she can't help but to fell more in love.

"Good morning Meri..." Timothy greeted with a soft smile.

"Geez guys... so early in the morning." Nathan Knight whined.

He's one of Timothy's gang friends, who became friends with Merida as well.

"Well Good morning to you too Nathan!" Merida greeted cheerfully as they all walk to their room.

"You're hurting me with your optimism." He tiredly said.

It was Monday so, he's extra tired and moody.

"I'm shock that it haven't killed you yet!" She smiled at him.

While Timothy chuckled at the both of them.

"M-Merida... Hi!" She turned around and saw that it was her best friend Justin Taylor.

Nathan and Timothy didn't said a word. Even though Timothy changed, he can't still help but be jealous. Especially at his girlfriend's best friend.

"What are you nervous around for? Tim and Nath won't bite." Merida smiled and placed her arm on Justin's shoulder.

He's quite tall so doing that to him only made him crouch to her level.

"Yeah, we won't." Timothy said with a smile, but both of them knows that it wasn't really true.

As Timothy once threatened him before he and Merida got together.

"You know what. You two boys go on ahead." She smiled at the two, they hesitated for a bit but left nonetheless.

"So... How's school so far?" She asked looking up at him when she finally removed her hand on his shoulder.

"Fine, I guess. Though it would've been better if you didn't got together with that fake asshole." He massaged his neck while saying that.

Justin is 2 years younger than Merida even though he's taller, he just happened to be neighbors for at least 2 years and because of Merida's cheerful personality, they became best friends.

"Hmp. I already told you, he changed." She chuckled not even mad at Justin insulting her boyfriend.

"Yeah right." He sarcastically said and when they were about to go, they both noticed someone glaring daggers at Timothy's back.

"Who's that?" Merida whispered to Justin.

"I think that's Kevin Leonhart... a year older than me, pretty popular for being the most targeted by Timothy and his gang." He introduced.

"Oh... I remembered. Hi!" Merida approached the guy.

The guy was startled and looked at the two.

But he just glared at her and walked away.

"Not everyone can forgive what Timothy just did before... I'm surprised you did." Justin said, quite in disbelief that Merida just done that.

"The past is past... pft." She just said and cheerfully resumed her walk to her room.

"How are you like this?" Justin just sighed in defeat while walking along with her.

After bidding Justin 'goodbye', Merida proceeded to her room. It's quite early yet so the teacher haven't arrived yet.

"Hey Merida! Hailey's birthday is today there's a party going to be held tonight, wanna come? I mean Tim will be there." Christian Smith asked as soon as Merida entered the room.

He's one of the gang friends Timothy have as well, though he have that glare on the guy sometimes and was seen hanging around Kevin not much often.

"Sure! No reason not to come." Merida smiled at him which he replied with the same gesture.

"Great! I'll go tell her." He said and left.

Merida sat beside Timothy, the whole reason why they got together.

"What took you so long?" Timothy asked while he rested his head on his hand.

"Oh just met this Kevin guy." She said while taking out her stuffs for the 1st subject.

"Oh... him, what did he said?" He asked.

"He just glared at me, I don't care though." Merida smiled at him.

"By the way, wasn't Hailey Pearce your ex? We're going to her party later." She changed topic.

"Yeah, Christian's the one who asked not her. Plus, free food and drinks." He shrugged with a smile.

"I'll get you at 7?" He automatically asked.

"Sure." She smiled at the gesture.

Later that night, Timothy and Merida came to the party.

It seems pretty lit since there are cheers from the people inside, lights that seeps out from the house, and music almost blasting through the roof.

They both went inside excitedly and was welcomed with with crowd dancing at the living room.

The house is pretty much a mansion so there's no wonder that the party's great.

"I saw Nath and the others there!" Timothy shouted since the music is making it hard to hear any conversations.

They moved through the crowd and approached Nath and the others hanging around the couch.

"Hey! Man! Nice for you to be here!" Bryan took Timothy in a manly embrace.

"And you Merida." He tried to make it seem like the relationship is okay for him.

But no one thinks so.

"Christian!? I told you not to invite him!" Hailey shouted at the guy and walked away.

"Wait! I can explain!" Christian followed her leaving the others at the couch.

"Well that's awkward." Timothy chuckled.

"Hey Tim! Let's go get some shots!" Bryan offered standing up.

"Yeah sure! Hey Meri, want something to drink!?" He asked his girlfriend before joining his friend.

"No! I'm good!" She smiled and watched him go.

"Hey! Don't get drunk too much!" She added.

"I won't!!" He replied which she smiled fondly to.

Merida sat next to Nathan on the couch.

"How come you're not drinking too!?" She asked him while he threw his cigarette.

"Bryan is bound to do some shit!! As his roommate, I want him alive or the police might get after me!!" He replied making the both of the chuckle.

The night went on with Nathan and Merida just having conversations. But was interrupted with Bryan and Timothy swaying from side to side.

"Hey! I think Tim is out!" Bryan laughed while Timothy really did drift off to sleep.

He seated Timothy on the couch while he slumped down on it as well.

"I can't get home yet with Namjoon like this! Let's put him in a room to sleep for a while!!" Merida told Nathan which he nodded at.

"Bryan!! Hey!! Listen! Just stay here! I'll be back!! Okay!? Stop being stupid!!" Nathan shouted at the guy but he doesn't seem to have reached he's ears.

Nathan just sighed and took Timothy on his shoulder, Merida on his other arm, and carried him up the stairs to find a room.

They started off with the first room and thankfully there's no one making out.

"Maybe they're at the last room so that they won't get disturbed." Nathan snickered and so did Merida.

And as if they were summoned, Christian and Hailey came out of the last room disheveled.

"Hey! We're going to use this room alright!?" Nathan ignored the elephant in the room and asked.

"Why!? You're going to have threesome there!?" Hailey asked smirking.

"No! Idiot! The guy's drunk, we just want him to sleep so he can sober up!" Nathan said and they proceeded to carry Timothy inside.

"About an hour he'll be good." Nathan said after they put him on the bed.

"Let's check on Bryan then." Merida said and they walked out of the room, closing the door on the way.

And down the stairs, she saw Kevin dancing drunk in the middle of the crowd.

They're not really on friendly terms so she just ignored him.

They went back to the couch and there they saw Justin sitting on one of them.

"Justin!?" Merida called shock.

"Merida?" He muttered drunk as well.

She just sighed and thought that maybe he could take Justin with her later when they get home.

"Hey! I'm going to get some water! Want something to drink!?" Nathan asked her.

"Beer!" She shouted with a smile.

Just something light is good, is what she thought.

And so Nathan left them.

A while later, Nathan came back and gave her the beer.

Had conversation and enjoyed the party while Justin and Bryan sleep beside them.

But Justin stood up, "Bathroom..." He muttered but Merida and Nathan guessed what he wanted.

Merida was about to guide him but he went on and walked to the crowd, near the stairs.

"That's not even the way to the bathroom!!" Nathan chuckled.

Bryan was snapped out of his daze too and stood up without saying anything.

Walking through the crowd.

"Hey! Why didn't you stopped him!!? He might do something crazy!?" Merida asked laughing.

"I'll have something to laugh when that happens then!" Nathan laughed as well.

"Wait! I'll just check on Timothy so that we could get home! I'll come back for Justin!" She bid and went back to the room.

And after at least an hour or so.

A piercing scream of fear emitted throughout the whole house.

The music stopped, the lights are back on and the crowd was shocked, even sobered.

Nathan went and looked at where the crowd are piling.

He had a realization when he saw them at the stairs and so he pushed through them as fast as he could.

Reaching the room where Timothy was, he saw Merida on the floor scared and crying.

"What happened!?" He asked and approached her.

She pointed to the bed and there he saw Timothy with an opened chest and scooped out eyes.
