Thank you to everyone who has been reviewing. I'm kind of having a frustrating night so I could really use some reviews right now. Sometimes, I wonder if my writing is good.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
...
"I'm really starting to think you just love to torture me right now.." London pouted as Jayd rolled her eyes, laughing as they started sweeping up the mess at the theater.
"Oh come on. It's not like this is a career. We need some money and what better way than to do it here at the movies. Most of the other places are already full and its not like our parents would send us any money anyway."
"At least mines won't." London grumbled as she dumped the popcorn buckets in the trash and disposing of all the trash.
They had recently gotten jobs to work in the movie theater plaza. It was much better than working behind the original fast food idea, serving burgers and fries and smelling like it when they got back to their dorm rooms.
"We should have taken those waxing jobs like Naomi and Sasha." London pouted as she was busy restocking the shelves for the candy and chips.
"You really picture yourself waxing the back of some old hairy ass man who from the looks of things, hasn't seen a razor since 2008? And its 2016." Jayd sipped her bottle of water, putting it back under the table.
It was a slow afternoon as usual, which was fine with the girls since most nights was very busy, whether it was a big movie premiere or if there was a special like Valentines Day or Date Night, whichever theme came first.
But the girls at the moment talked about the Halloween party that was coming up tonight. They knew some teachers would be there but they were still young adults, as they knew most of the people at the party were planning to sneak in alcohol and weed.
"I'm going to head to the bathroom, alright?" Jayd nodded to her friend as she smiled, seeing Dean and Renee coming up to the booth.
As soon as Jayd disappeared, she tried to call her mother using Facetime. Losing the photo of her son crushed her heart completely so one way or the other, she was going to see her son and see how he was doing with his well being, even if she couldn't be there physically like she wanted to.
She was finally able to reach her mother as they were face to face through their smartphones.
"Mom...hi.." She bit her lip.
"Honey, this isn't a good time right now."
"You are not going to avoid me this time. I want to see my son." She spoke with urgency.
"Honey, any contact at all is too risky. Your father is trying to protect us all which means no further contact."
"You mean trying to protect you and him." She corrected her, already disgusted with how she was sugar coating this whole situation. "I just want to see my son; Can you do the one thing for me and let me speak to my son for five minutes?"
Her mother sighed, not wanting to get into a debate even after warning her. She went upstairs to Jeremiah's room as she picked him up. He started getting fussy until he saw his mommy, to which he had the cutest smile ever. Jayd felt like all her troubles were melting away from seeing her sons green eyes.
"Hi there, my little bugs bunny.." She smiled, touching the screen, as if Jeremiah was reaching out to her. He was getting really big and he was getting fat cheeks, as well as his hair was starting to grow in some more.
"Mama...I..love...you..love..hi.." He babbled out to her as she blew him a kiss.
"Mommy loves you too. She thinks of you all the time." She held the tears back in her eyes. "Don't worry sweetheart..we will see each other again, I promise."
Her mother sighed as Jeremiah was getting sleepy and then Jayd blew him another kiss as her mother laid him down in his bassinet.
"He's 5 months right now...'' She remembered, seeing how big he was. It had been so long since she held her little boy. She just wanted to take the flight back down to Chicago and get her son, to hell with the consequences.
"Honey, we need to talk." Her mother sat down on the rocking chair.
"About what?"
"You really shouldn't make promises you know that you won't be able to keep." She sighed heavily.
"What is that suppose to mean? I'm going to get my son. He's all I have left."
"He's going to be staying here with us. Your father and I have decided, for his safety, to adopt him as our own."
Jayd felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest; Her own parents were seriously trying to take away her parental rights.
"You can't do that. I am his mother! He belongs with me. You are his grandparents. I haven't abandoned him at all!" She argued. "If anything, you and dad shipped me off to freaking California with not even giving me updates as to how he was doing. I've made more of an effort of wanting to be with him. I've been sending him money, clothes and everything! And this is how you turn your back on me!"
"You need to do what's best; You were the one that brought Baron back into the fucking picture! It's because of you, Milena is..." She stopped short as they both knew exactly what was going to be said.
"You know what, forget it. For once, I thought you could understand this was not my fault. And FYI, he stalked me back here and I shot him dead! I never wanted anything to happen to Milena. Don't you get that if I could turn back the hands of time, I would have taken the bullet instead?!" She couldn't fight the tears anymore as they streamed down her caramel colored cheeks.
"Listen, your father-"
"Just forget it. I'll let it go for right now but this isn't over. I will get my baby back." She ended the call, going over to the sink as she splashed some cold water on her face, pulling her dark brown hair back into a ponytail.
"Get it together. You gotta be strong for your son..." She told herself. "You can't let them get under your skin."
But it was easier said than done as she felt like she was ready to fall right on the floor, crying into a heaping mess.
She went back out as she saw Dean, Renee, and Roman. They could instantly tell something was wrong when they saw the look on her face.
"Hey what's wrong, darling? Dean furrowed his brows.
"It's nothing Dean.." She filled their buckets up with popcorn, adding the butter.
"You sure? You know if-" London was cut off mid sentence.
"I said I'm fine, guys, damn!" She snapped off at them. She sighed, feeling like crap. It wasn't their fault her parents were doing this to her. Hell, they didn't even know the whole story to when she was back in Chicago. Not yet anyway.
"I'm sorry.." She said regretfully. "I'm just under a lot of stress. But I'm ok alright?"
Dean decided to give her a hug as he ruffled with her hair. "Don't worry about it sport. How about I treat my ladies to a box of chocolates?
"You are such a sweetie, Deano." London winked at him playfully.
"Hey what about me?" Roman said pouting all adorable.
"You are adorable too, you big old superman." Jayd giggled, bumping fists with him.
"Now hurry up with that popcorn so we can watch this crappy chick flick.." Dean rolled his eyes, which earned him a smack upside the head from Renee, as everyone chuckled.
...
Jayd had decided to go to study hall to finish in her assignments in time so she wouldn't have anything to worry about concerning the party tonight. She left the hallway to go to her locker, seeing that she forgot one of the textbooks that was needed to do her assignment when she heard mumbling going on.
"No..No I don't want to discuss this right now...We have already went over this already...I'm not in the mood Lana. Enough with this shit alright. Good bye." She heard her teacher Finn end his call, frustration clearly on his face.
She knew it was none of her business but he was her favorite instructor, so she decided to go see how he was doing as she lightly tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around; His 5'11 frame over towering her 5'2 small height.
"Hello Jayd. What do you need?" She could tell he was in a serious foul mood and not in the mood for discussion.
"I umm...just wanted to see if you were alright." She asked quietly.
"Yes I'm just fine, thank you." He said in a curt manner. "Anything else?"
"No." She shook her head.
"Good. Now Goodbye" He dismissed her, walking off in the other direction.
Jayd decided not to bother with him as she went off in her own direction, deciding to focus on her homework.
Meanwhile, Finn was already irritated with his father and barking orders at him to assassinate Jayd. Lana was the icing on the cake as she kept bringing up their wedding plans. It was a long process and his father even annoyed him with the wedding plans as well as her parents and with going over the details. He was in no mood to discuss any of this and to top it off, Lana was just plain irritating him as of lately. Its like if it wasn't one thing she was upset about, it was another.
And of course, yours truly was the scapegoat for her anger and their explosive fighting.
He was in his car, just turning on some music to ease his mind. Of course, Lana continued to call his phone, only further irritating the Irish Prince.
"Bloody fucking hell..." He decided to just put his phone on silent as he once again, pulled the picture of Jayd and her son out of his pocket; He studied it once more, trying to connect the pieces to the puzzle. However, he came up short.
He would continue to do more digging as in regards to his brother. But right now, he had work to do. He opened up his laptop as he typed in a code, to where the keyboard opened up to different small weapons and vials of poison.
He worked on mixing the poison as he started to shake up the clear fluid, making sure it would be enough to even kill 8 people. It was untraceable so going over the plan in his mind, no one would even suspect the drug in Jayd's system. Forensics wouldn't find a damn thing if he was careful enough, like he was always.
He had to do this. He had to...
...
It was later that night as London was adding the finishing touches to her makeup as the female Freddy Kruger. She loved the fake knife glove on her fingers and twirled around, seeing herself in the mirror.
She heard a knock on the door as she knew Jayd was still getting ready.
She opened the door to see Seth, who was dressed as a vampire.
"Yeah?" She crossed her arms, unimpressed. She was still pissed off with him from their last argument and hasn't spoken to him since. It was the only thing preventing her from kicking his ass all the way onto the other side of the country.
"I want to apologize and drink your lovely blood, madam." He spoke in a cheesy vampire talk. "I need my girlfriends love back as it will help me through the night, blah blah blah."
It was then a smirk came out the corner of her mouth as she rolled her eyes, kissing this man as he wrapped his arms around her, while also presenting her with a rose.
"Ok I forgive you, this time." She warned him. "Jayd are you ready?"
Jayd came out in her butterfly costume, fixing the decorative headband. She had on some light make up and she was fixing the black stockings and her heels.
"I'm ready, how about y'all?"
It was then, Dean and Renee and Roman, Sasha Banks and Dolph Ziggler came out with them; Dean was dressed as a police officer, Renee was dressed as Snow White, Sasha as one of the Sailor Moon characters, Roman was Gladiator, and Dolph was John Travolta from the movie Grease.
Then Naomi came out and she and Jey Uso were dressed as Warriors.
"Let's get the party started!" Dolph shouted as they all headed out to the warm weather, getting into their cars as they headed out to the house on the hills near the beach.
...
The party was live as there were thousands of students, dressed in all different characters and costumes and the music was amazing, as well as there were also live performances from Maroon 5, A Day To Remember, and Linkin Park. There were also games and contests as well as food and drinks.
Jayd wasn't really use to this kind of crowd but she wanted to forget about what happened today with her parents. She went over to the booth as she poured herself some Cherry Coke to drink.
"Not my kind of scene but its better than being alone." She shrugged, sipping her drink.
"It's not so bad.." She heard a familiar voice, knowing that Irish accent.
She turned around, seeing it was Finn Balor as he was one of the adults chaperoning tonights' party.
"Nice costume." He complimented. "The wings are a bit..out there."
Jayd laughed. "Hey, its just a regular butterfly costume, nothing special. And what are you suppose to be?" She looked at him up and down, seeing the dark red, black and white colors on him. They were impressive and he was wearing a black jacket but was shirtless.
"I am known as the demon." He grinned, pointing out the features of the teeth and the hairstyle he was sporting.
"You created this costume?" She asked, very impressed.
"Yes I did. Remember I told you I use to be an artist?" He reminded her, which made Jayd smack herself silly.
"Right, you did." She nodded, loving how it he took the time to do this as it looked so realistic.
It was silent for a brief moment despite the background music until Finn spoke up.
"Listen, I'm sorry about being rude to you earlier, Jayd. I know that-"
"Hey, no sweat. In fact, its Halloween. Let's have a good time." She toasted her drink to his as she disappeared into the crowd. He strangely found her eyes so beautiful, even with the makeup she had done perfectly to match with her costume.
It was starting to slow down a bit with the music as the couples gathered around and London pulled her Seth close to her, unaware that he was also winking at some of the females who were dressed in the sluttiest costumes there was. Of course, not that any of the teachers paid any attention to it.
She rested her head on his chest as he held her. He then rested his hands on her ass as she playfully moved them away, giggling.
"Come on now, Seth." She looked up at him. "No feeling on me tonight."
"Awe you can't blame me gorgeous." He looked in her eyes, kissing her cheek.
She looked across the room and could easily spot Adrian Neville, who was dressed as Zorro. If she didn't know any better, she would have guessed that he might have been watching her all night.
It was as though he held her gaze, watching how she was dancing with Seth and from the looks of it, he was getting bored with the dancing and the song altogether. But for the sake of not hearing London bitching, he put up with it for the time being.
It was then the contest for the best costume started and then everyone put in their votes. As soon as they tallied up the votes, the winners were called.
"Jayd and Sasha, come on up. You too Roman, and Dean as well."
They all went up there as everyone congratulated them. Nikki and Brie Bella gave them all an apple that was from the apple bobbing contest. Of course, the twins were known for their tricks, with some help from Kofi and Big E. Nikki and Brie snickered as they rigged the votes to make Jayd and Sasha Banks win as one of the females. Jayd of course, won first prize. They were already upset that they were runner ups in the contest so with Jayd winning, they wanted to make the night a little more "special".
"Happy Halloween!" The twins yanked a cord on the stage as a bucket of slimy worms fell on Jayd. Jayd screamed in horror as they were in her hair, messing up her costume. Almost everyone in the crowd had laughed at her as Nikki and Brie did the loser sign. Sasha as well as Dean and Roman were angered. London smacked Seth upside the head for snickering.
Jayd didn't even have time to register everything that happened; Humiliated and Embarrassed as she had ran off. Big E and Kofi were mocking her, taking photos of her as they high five the twins.
She was already having a bad day, hoping the party would take her mind off everything but she was wrong. She wasn't even bothered with the fact that they were taking photos of her as Jayd shook her hair free of the worms and some more out of her costume. She never really felt like she belonged anyway and wanted to have a normal life. But leave it to Nikki and Brie as well as Kofi and Big E to humiliate her. She had a feeling her friends were going to follow her to see if she was ok but she just wanted to be left alone.
Meanwhile, London wasted no time as she went up to the twins, dressed as angels.
"What are you going to do about, scratch me to death?" Brie mocked her, making Nikki laugh.
"Nope.'' She shook her head. "This will do."
She pulled off her glove as she straight up punched the shit out of Brie as they started fighting, with the crowd gathering. London was straight up giving her an ass whipping as they tussled, throwing punches as the teachers came to break them up, with Seth just in the background, smirking.
"Seth, aren't you going to do something?" Roman felt like knocking him upside his damn head.
"Oh yeah sorry." He went up to break them up but Adrian Neviile already had her in his grasp.
"Who the fuck does this guy think he is?" He rolled his eyes, irritated. "Look, I'll handle her."
"It's clear you were too busy watching more than taking care of the situation. As the adult, I'll handle this one." Adrian glared at him as Hunter and Stephanie as well as security had to break them up from it getting more out of hand. Sasha had Nikki by her hair, kicking her but the security Ryback and Kane had put a stop to it.
"Enough! All of you stop it right now! I will not put up with this crap!' Stephanie screeched to both parties in the fight.
"Don't let me catch your ass, you skinny bitch!" London snarled. "You better get her Steph, before I tear a hole in her fucking throat, consequences be damned!"
"London, take it easy." Adrian tried to calm her down. For some reason, she started to listen to him as her heart rate slowed down a bit, calming her mood but not all the way.
"I need to go find my best friend." She wriggled out of his arms.
"I'll look for her." Dolph said as he pushed his way through the crowd to find Jayd, unaware that Finn was gone as well.
...
Jayd sat alone on the benches in the park, just looking at the full moon that was shining in the night sky, enjoying the serenity. She never wanted to come here in the first place; Now being further away from her son was tearing her apart.
It was then as she closed her eyes, she felt her throat being choked as she was trying to wiggle out of the strangers grasp. She tried to see who it was but he was masked. He just continued to use the rope to choke her and she was having serious trouble breathing. She then elbowed him in his face, gasping as she ran off. Halloween was a dangerous night as she continued running and running, trying not to get killed again. Who would want her dead right now?
"Help! someone help me!" She gasped out. "Please, help me!"
She then fell on the ground as she skinned her knee, a trickle of blood showing. It was dark and she was in the woods. She felt like she was in the 9th circle of hell with how things were going for her.
"Oh great, this fucking person is still after me and I'm in the creepy ass woods, dark and alone. What a way to end my night." She almost wanted to cry.
She could hear the crunching of the leaves, hearing the footsteps as she tried to scramble to get up and continue running.
It was then she screamed, feeling someone grab her as she saw it was only Finn. She started to sob immediately.
"Hey Hey, shhhh..." He tried to calm her down. "Whats wrong, whats going on?"
"I'm having the worst fucking night and I...I can't be here. I don't want to be here." She cried, not caring if her tears stained his jacket.
"Listen just take a deep breath, relax ok?" He tried to soothe the shaking young teen. "Let's get out of here alright?"
Finn was trying to find a way out of here as he was also holding the needle in his hand. They had made it out the woods about 20 minutes later, heading to his car.
"Let's go back to my place. You and I could just talk about what happened alright?" He held her hand, trying to comfort her. "And we'll even get that leg fixed up for you."
He saw that she had skinned her knee, as it was starting to get swollen completely.
"I'm really tired, I just don't want to deal with anyone right now.." She just wasn't in the mood for any company but he wouldn't let up.
"Sweetheart, with how the night was going, you need some comfort. I'm here if you want to talk and we'll keep it between us. I promise, I won't take up anymore of your time, alright?" He pleaded with her, hoping she would fall for it.
She decided to give up, defeated as he talked her into coming back into his place.
At the same time, Dolph was out alone as he was looking for Jayd. He had been looking for her for the past 15 minutes now.
"Jayd..Jayd are you out here..." He walked right near the cemetery. "Jayd.."
He heard footsteps as he turned around, wondering who was behind him. He brushed it off, obviously thinking it was just a bunch of trick or treaters or even his friends trying to scare him.
It was getting quiet...too quiet. He started to go over in his mind that it was just his imagination. It was Halloween after all.
However, he was dead wrong as he was grabbed by the neck and stabbed right through his back as the blade went through his chest and then it went into his throat.
About an hour later, Jayd had went to the bathroom to get cleaned up, unaware that Finn had installed a bug into her phone as it would cause static and technical problems if she tried to call 911.
Jayd couldn't help but admire his home; It was beautiful and she really loved his artwork that he had displayed for her in the living room. Lana was out doing business right now so they resided on the balcony, as Finn gave her some peach tea to sip on as well as S'mores.
Jayd decided to get her anger out about the prank Nikki and Brie pulled. She had been talking for quite a while but she was glad Finn was an ear that he could listen to her. They were talking for quite awhile, with Finn making her laugh and then she talked about her love for her hometown Chicago. He was even sharing a photo book of the places he had been during his traveling.
"You've been almost everywhere.."
"Pretty much.." He chuckled, showing her page by page of where he had been all over the country.
She sighed heavily, knowing she hasn't done much but he's done plenty, especially having freedom.
"I don't even know how I'm going to face school tomorrow. Big E and Kofi are probably putting pictures up on the internet." She felt an impending headache coming in.
"Don't worry sweetheart. You know as well as I do, that you are stronger and smarter than them. You don't let idiots like them mess with your intelligence." He touched her hand, stroking her palm.
"I just wanted to have fun, you know? And they went and screwed it up." She sighed, setting down her cup of tea. "I wanna go lie down."
She went to the sofa to lie down for a few minutes. "If that's ok? I still wanna go home but-"
"Shhh.." He pulled a blanket over her, taking off her headband. "I'm going to go to the store. I'll be back in quite a bit, alright?"
She didn't say anything as he found her dozing off for the moment.
Finn would come back to handle her, but he had business to handle.
He saw Kofi and Big E walking down the street, late at night, laughing about the success of the horrible joke on Jayd.
"Wait till everyone gets a load of these pictures." Kofi laughed. "That bitch is seriously looking more idiotic than ever."
"Why hello gentlemen." Finn pulled up beside them in the car.
"What the fuck do you want, old matey!" Big E mocked his accent.
"Oh nothing really...just wanted to send a message." He cocked back a crossbow and arrow as he shot Big E skillfully, right through the eye, piercing him through his skull.
"Oh shit!" Kofi eyes widened in horror as he then suddenly ran off, not caring that Big E was left to die. Finn was right behind him, chasing him down in his car. Kofi hopped over fences, calling for help but it was to no avail.
Kofi then found an alleyway, as he believed that Finn wouldn't catch him. He breathed a moment of relief, panting hard.
He then saw the black car driving right through the alleyway as he sped off, his foot on the gas pedal, crushing Kofi in his midsection. He was trapped and in serious pain as he coughed up blood.
Finn stepped out the car as he looked at Kofi carefully and slowly.
"Help...me..." He coughed up blood.
"Yeah can't do that; Once I start a task, I have to finish." He smirked evilly.
And then he pulled out his machete as he went to the back of Kofi's skull, slicing him completely in half as Kofi screamed until he was completely dead.
"What a shame..." He shook his head. "But nothing personal Kofi...just taking care of business."
He wiped his machete off clean on Kofi's costume as he went back into his car, driving out of the alley as Kofi's body was split in half.
Finn came back an hour later as he saw Jayd still sleeping soundly. He decided not to waste any time; He tried to choke her but she had gotten away. Now this was the perfect time to do it.
Just as she was about to get up, he then stabbed her in the neck with the needle as it made her go back to sleep.
"What the...Mr. Finn..." She gasped before she fell back on the floor.
"Sorry..." He muttered as he shot the poison inside her skin, starting on the process immediately.
