Chapter 35

❀❀❀❀❀❀
[ SHAMELESS ]

Elijah moved to hit Brielle but Brielle caught his arms and twisted it backwards, Elijah's bone twisted to where it hasn't been before.

"Fûck!" He screamed out.

Brielle pushed him away from her and he staggered backwards.

"Who do you think you are, I'm gonna kick your ass and make sure you won't be able to walk for three days" he moved closer to her but she was fast enough to kneel his groin.

"Ouch!" Elijah shut his legs tight.

"Come on" Brielle motioned him to come at her with her fingers.

Elijah ran to her but she jumped over him and gave him a jump kick from behind.

Elijah fell down.

"Ahhh!!" He screamed out as he curled himself up on the floor.

"Get up, are you a weakling?" Brielle smirked as she looked down at him.

Elijah slowly stood up, he held his stomach tight and began moving back.

"You made a mistake by laying your hands on me, get ready to suffer" he said and before he knew it, he was standing next to the fence.

Brielle kept looking at him as he escaped through the fence which he came out from before looking at Jade.

"Don't expect a thank you from me" Jade said coldly.

"Why not? If I didn't come here then that guy would have rapped you out here" she replied.

"I can take care of myself okay!?" Jade yelled with teary eyes.

"Listen Jade it's normal to not know how to fight all your battles sometimes and it's normal to fail at times, it's normal to also accept help, ask me the thing a hero says mostly" Brielle said.

Jade looked at her and slowly shrugged her shoulders.

"Help, a hero ask for help not because he's a failure but because it encourages them to do better next time" Brielle said.

Jade just looked elsewhere trying to hide her tears.

"I'll just urge you to try to be opened up sometimes and be free" Brielle patted her back before leaving.

Jade slowly leaned against her car, she bent on the floor with her head down before crying softly, her moment were Interrupted when her phone began ringing.

It was from Micah and she picked.

"Where are you?" Micah was in his boat tail car with his ear pod connected to one of his ears as he asked.

"I don't know" Jade sniffed.

"What do you mean? Are you crying?" He asked with one of his brows raised.

Jade didn't reply and judging from the sound that he was hearing, it sounded like she was crying.

"Turn on your location" he said like an order.

"No one orders me around" Jade cried.

"Will you do it or not?" He asked in a blank voice and she did.

Micah did some things on his phone before a map appeared and he drove along to where it led him too.

✮✮✮✮✮✮

Micah's car stopped not too far away from where Jade's car was packed.

He stopped his car and came down then took off his jacket as he moved closer to her to wrap her with it.

"What happened to you?" He asked as he squatted beside her.

The both of them were supposed to go to his parents house today before this happened.

"Can you take me away from this place? I want to be anywhere but here" she looked up at him with teary eyes.

For the first time in years, Micah felt something strange within him when he saw her looking that way.

He slowly looked away before standing up.

"Come with me then" he stretched his hands out to her, she accepted and he took her to his car.

His car stopped in front of a small but comfortable looking building.

"I'm always here when I need an alone time but seems like you'll need it too" he came down from the car and helped her down.

Jade looked at everywhere, the light of the full moon was reflecting directly to the building.
She looked up at it with a small smile.

"It's been years since I've seen the full moon" she muttered.

Micah looked at her face.

"Why? You don't come out?" He asked and she shook her head.

"I don't look at things mostly" she said.

"Let's go in" Micah began walking in and she immediately followed behind.

The house was warm, cozy and clean.

"Here" he handed her one of his tee shirt, it was his size but he was sure that it would be big for her.

There's a warm water in the bathtub, get changed I'll be waiting for you here" he said gently and Jade nodded.

Micah sighted that her dress has torn a little but said nothing.

He was sitting on the couch when Jade came out of a room, dressed in his big tee, it stopped at her thigh exposing her fresh thick laps that has a dangerous spider web tattoo on it.

Micah was starting to feel hot by looking at her and it turned worse when she came to sit beside him but luckily the door bell rang and he flew off from the couch immediately.

"You invited someone over?" She asked as she watched him find his way to the door.

"No it's just food" he replied.

"Oh" Jade nodded.

*****

After eating, Micah left Jade alone and went to bed but Jade came to lay down beside him and he immediately sat up.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Sleeping"

"We can't share a bed" Micah shook his head.

"You should have thought of that before bringing here, I won't sleep on the couch" Jade shook her head.

"We can't..."

"Come on the bed is big enough for the both of to sleep on, don't push me away please" she pouted as she held his arms.

"Is your zodiac sign shameless?" Micah asked and Jade hit him on the chest.

"Fine you can sleep here if you tell me why I saw you that way earlier" he said and Jade's face changed instantly.

"It was my ex boyfriend Elijah, sometimes I wonder how stùpid I was to date him over and over again" she muttered and sat straight.

"Elijah? What did they punk did to you!" Micah was angry.

Jade told him everything and Micah was really annoyed.

'I will kill him' he thought.

"Can I sleep now?" Jade muttered and lay on the bed, turning elsewhere.

Micah shut his eyes tight and lay down, looking at the ceiling for a while before turning to look at Jade.

She was already sleeping, his eyes traveled to her legs then smooth laps, her thighs were exposed too.

"I can't sleep here" Micah stood up and left the room.

NEXT DAY★ CAMBRIDGE HIGHSCHOOL***

Brielle snuck at Charlie's back when she saw her standing beside her locker and texting with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" Brielle asked and Charlie got startled.

"Nothing"

"I see you looking at your phone and smiling, what's up?" Brielle asked again.

"Nothing!" Charlie replied again and hid her phone behind her back.

"You and Declan seems to be more close lately, it's there something I don't know?" Brielle began moving closer to Charlie while Charlie moved back.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Charlie said nervously.

Brielle smiled and grabbed Charlie's hands.

Charlie gasped.

"Be careful Charlie, did you remember what we promised master?" She said slowly.

Charlie gulped, she looked somewhat terrified.

"So before you make any tempting decision, think well" Brielle said slowly before stepping away from Charlie and left.

****

Charlie kept thinking as she found her way out of class after the morning lecture.

"Babe"

"Babe"

"Charlie!"

Charlie immediately turned back to see Declan standing behind her.

"Declan" Charlie didn't know if she should laugh or smile.

"Are you okay, you look dull today" he brought his hands to her face but she moved back.

Declan frowned.

"You avoided me just now, what's wrong, is there any problem?" He asked softly.

Charlie shook her head and moved back.

"I'm sorry" she said one more time before running away, leaving Declan in a confused state.

'What's wrong with her again' he thought confusedly.

HOCKEY'S LOCKER ROOM***

Micah kicked the door opened and stormed in. The boys just finished playing some hockey games and were sweating.

"Micah from DMGH, what are you doing here?" A boy named Midas asked but Micah ignored as he looked around.

"Where's your leader?" He asked angrily.

Midas wanted to say something when the door open and Elijah stepped in.

"Elijah!!" Micah stormed towards him and gave him a heavy punch on the face.
