Chapter 12
"Shit!" Caleb pounded his fist into the wall. "He's there with her. He's at her home with her, right now!"
"How do you know?" Reid asked. "You took the phone and we didn't get to hear the rest of the conversation."
"I heard her say his name right before she hung up on me, Reid," he answered in frustration. "I'm gonna go to her right now." He said grabbing his jacket and started walking towards the door.
"Caleb," Pogue stopped him. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
Caleb glared at him. "It's all I can do. I mean I heard Chase's name before she hung up with me."
"Then, we're coming with you," Pogue said then turned to Reid and Tyler. "Right, guys?"
"Yeah," Reid and Tyler said as they both grabbed their jackets.
Caleb sighed. "Fine," he said. "Let's get going." Then they left the hotel together.
"Chase," Jessie was surprised to find him at her doorstep. "What are you doing here this late at night?"
"Hey Jessie," he smiled at her. "I just dropped by to check up on you."
"Oh, what for?" she asked curiously.
"I heard about what happened to your dad last week and I wanted to see how you were holding up," he answered. "I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner. I was a little preoccupied with something."
"Oh, it's fine. I understand," she told him. "I'm doing fine and my dad's doing fine. I'm gonna go see him first thing tomorrow morning. I'll tell him you stopped by. You're the second person who's done that, you know?"
Chase raised his eyebrows. "Really? Who was the other person?"
"Song Woo Bin," she smiled at the sound of his name.
"Oh so this was the person you were talking about?" Chase said amusingly.
She nodded and smiled. "Yeah," she said. "He's been wonderful to me and my dad. I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Chase repeated. "Since when?"
"Since tonight," Jessie answered. Then she changed the subject, "Is there another reason why you're here, Chase?"
"Right," he said. "I was about to ask if you wanted to go for a stroll with me. Maybe get something to eat, too?"
Jessie's eyes widened. "Oh," she said. "I thought I told you I am seeing someone?"
"I meant as friends," he said. "I didn't mean a date or anything."
"Gee," she said reluctantly. "That sounds nice and all but I've had a long day and I'm—" she faked a yawn—"getting really tired. Can I take a rain check?"
Chase was bummed. "I understand," he said. "I guess I'll see you around then?"
"Yeah, Chase," she said. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it," he assured her. "Good night, Jessie."
"Good night, Chase," she bid him good night then shut the door behind him. She sighed out of guilt. "I'm really sorry, Chase." She walked to her bedroom and got ready for bed.
Chase showing up at her doorstep made her feel a sense of guilt. She thought if she met him sooner she would have liked him but from the start it was always Woo Bin. What was not to like about Chase? He was handsome, charming, smart, and athletic. Those are the qualities Jessie would look for in a guy but she saw Chase as a friend and nothing else. She wouldn't forget the day she met him was the day she almost died from drowning and he saved her. She owed him that much and his friendship was more important. But since then, she had an odd feeling when she was around him. It was a sense of fear. One of the main reasons behind that feeling was because Chase had this mysterious quality to him and she felt as if he was a mere illusion. She rarely saw him at school since meeting him nor had she seen him interact with anyone. She couldn't help but wonder: Who is Chase Collins? Why does his name sound familiar?
As soon as Chase was outside the building and went to a nearby alley, he suddenly said, "I know you're here."
Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler appeared in front of him as Chase smirked. Caleb's eyes flashed black which sent Chase flying then he was soon pinned against the wall. As Reid and Tyler pinned him, Caleb's eyes went back to its normal color as he walked closer to him. "Why are you here?" Caleb asked coldly.
Chase laughed. "She's a beautiful girl," Chase answered. "I can understand why you guys are so protective of her. It's a good thing too otherwise I wouldn't pull the same stunt like I did with both of your girlfriends." He said emphasizing on what happened with Kate and Sarah, which angered especially angered Pogue. Pogue's eyes went black which sent Chase flying and landing hard on the ground under them. He grunted in pain and once he was incapacitated, Reid and Tyler pinned Chase against the wall once again. "I asked you," Caleb grabbed his neck. "Why are you here?"
Chase chuckled. "Oh, Caleb," he said through choked words. "What fun would that be?" he continued laughing which angered the Sons.
"We know what you did to Jack Davis and we heard about the heir of Shinhwa and the dead Shinhwa student," Pogue informed him.
"What's the meaning of all this? What the hell do you want, Chase?" Caleb asked angrily.
"I had to do something to bring you guys here," Chase replied.
"I'm warning you," Caleb grabbed Chase by the collar. "Stay the hell away from Jessie."
"How can I do that when we're already friends?"
"Really?" Reid said angrily. "And what kind of friend sends their friend's father to the hospital?"
Chase was silent then smiled. "He had it coming," Chase answered uncaringly.
Reid's eyes flashed black and it sent Chase flying across the alley and on top of the aluminum trash cans. Chase, with his powers, levitated an aluminum trash can which went flying across the opposite direction towards the Sons. Caleb dodged it. The commotion caused a stir of onlookers, once the Sons were aware of the crowd, they together Used and disappeared from the alley leaving Chase immobilized and lying in the darkness.
Jessie felt something crawl up her arms while she was sleeping. She woke up and it was a tiny spider. "Shit!" she hissed. Then felt something else crawling up her legs, when she pulled the covers, there was a huge swarm of them crawling up her mattress. She screamed. "AHHH!" as she jumped off her bed, she reached over to turn on her lamp and found more and more crawling all over her bedroom. "AHHH!"
She woke up in a cold sweat and hyperventilated. The clock read 2:00 a.m. It was just a dream but for some reason it felt real. She could have sworn someone was in the room with her. She got up, slowly turned the knob to her bedroom door and glanced around the apartment. It was empty but she felt as if someone was in the apartment with her, watching her. "Hello?" she called out. "Is someone here?"
No answer.
Maybe I'm going crazy, she thought. She walked over to the cabinet grabbed a glass then walked over to the refrigerator to pour herself a glass of water. A glass of water was what she needed since she was parched, she thought. She was clearly shaken up about something but was not sure what. She went back to her room and slept with the light on for the rest of the night. She wanted to call the Sons or even Woo Bin but she didn't want them to worry too much about her. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow night because I got a bad feeling, she thought then drifted off to sleep.
"How is she?" asked Pogue. The Sons were standing outside of Jessie's building when the crowd died down and left for the night. It was no surprise that Chase disappeared after what happened in the alley.
"She was obviously scared but she's fine," answered Caleb. "She woke up in the middle of the night when I was in her apartment with her. It was like she could feel someone there with her, watching her." Caleb sighed, "I could understand that."
"You were just making sure she's okay, Caleb," assured Tyler. "There's nothing wrong with that."
"I know but she woke up for another reason," Caleb told them. "She had a nightmare and I can only guess what it was."
"The Creation spell?" asked Pogue.
"Go figure," Reid said coldly.
"He's gotten to her again," Caleb told them. "We have to warn her first thing in the morning."
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Pogue started to ask.
"We're gonna go surprise her?" asked Reid.
"Bingo," Caleb answered. "Let's get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
The rest of the Sons nodded then drove back to their hotel.
The next morning, Woo Bin was enjoying his cup of coffee when a man was led into the house by his butler. "Young master," said his butler. "You have a guest."
Woo Bin looked up and his eyes widened when it was his private investigator. "Hey, I've been waiting for you," he greeted the man. "Do you have the information I asked for?"
"Yes, I do," answered the man. "I have the pictures you asked for. All I have to do now is find out more about them." He took out an envelope and handed it to Woo Bin.
In turn, Woo Bin handed him another envelope. "That's the first half," he said. "You'll get the second half when you find more information on them."
The man nodded and left. As soon as he was gone, Woo Bin took out the photos taken and began browsing. There were five guys in what appeared to be an alley outside Jessie's apartment building. Four of them were pinning the fifth one against the wall. He recognized Chase as the one against the wall but he'd never seen the other four guys before. The one who appeared to be their leader had dark, short almost-spiky hair and he was the tallest. The second guy had longer almost dirty blonde hair, and he appeared to be the most muscular of his friends. The third guy's most distinctive feature was his blonde hair and lastly, the fourth guy had dark short hair and he appeared to be the youngest. As Woo Bin continued browsing through the pictures, he noticed something eerie about these guys. What surprised him was that in the last few pictures taken of them, all of their eyes were black in one picture and in the next, they were back to normal. Woo Bin felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help but wonder: Who are these guys? What do they have to do with Jessie?
He took out his phone and dialed Jessie's number. "Hey Jessie," he said.
"Oh, hey!" she said beaming. "Are we on for breakfast?"
He took a breath. "Yeah, about that…" he started. "Something came up."
"Oh," she said. "It's okay. I understand."
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"It's fine," she said. "You can tell me later. I have to go see my dad anyways. I guess I'll see you at school?"
"Yeah, I'll see you," he said. "I'm really sorry, Jessie."
"Don't worry about it," she told him. "I'll see you later, okay?"
Before she hung up, he said, "Jessie."
"Yeah?"
"I love you," he said before hanging up.
Jessie sighed. "What the hell did you just do?" she asked herself. "He just told me he loved me and I couldn't say anything. Stupid! Stupid!" she said slapping herself.
She couldn't help but wonder why he had to blow her off at the last minute. Was there something more important than having breakfast with your girlfriend? she thought. She was disappointed. She gathered her things and left for the hospital to check up on her father.
When she got there, her father was enjoying his breakfast. "Hey there, pumpkin!" he beamed.
"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore," she told him. "You don't have to call me 'pumpkin'."
"I'm sorry," he said. "Old habits die hard, I guess."
She smirked and shook her head. Her expression turned somber suddenly.
Jack could sense her emotions. And couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Jessie sighed. "Nothing."
He was not convinced. "I don't believe it." he said. "Come on, you can tell me. I'm your father, I have a right to know."
"Fine," she said. "Woo Bin told me he loved me and I brushed him off."
Jack spit out his drink which startled Jessie. "He what?"
"Geez, Dad, did it surprise you that much?" she asked sarcastically as she tried to clean up after him.
"He told you he loved you?"
"You heard right," she answered.
"Do you love him?" Jack asked.
Jessie looked at her father in silence and finally said, "Yes, I do."
"Then, what are you waiting for?"
"I don't know, Dad," she said. "This never happened to me before. I don't know how to take it."
There was an awkward pause. "He's a good guy," Jack said suddenly. "I approve 100%."
"Oh, Dad," Jessie rolled her eyes. "I can't believe I'm hearing this though. You? Approve of a guy for your daughter? Bravo!" she said sarcastically.
"It's true," he said. "It's just when I see you two together, you guys look happy. It's the first time I've seen you happy since moving here. I now think it's a good idea moving here in the first place."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that if the deal with Shinhwa and the JK group works out we could've moved to New York," he said.
"You mean we could have stayed in the States?" her eyes widened.
"Sorry I didn't tell you," he suddenly felt guilty for mentioning it.
"It's okay," she said sighing.
"I'm also saying that when you're with Woo Bin, I know he'll keep you safe in case there's danger, you know?"
"What do you mean by that?" she asked inquisitively.
"Nothing," he answered quickly.
Jessie took a moment to think it over. "You're right," she said then looked at the clock in the room. "I should be getting to school now. I'll come by to check on you later. So behave yourself while I'm gone, okay?"
"Will do," he said as she kissed him. "Have fun at school!"
"Bye, Daddy!" she exclaimed then left for school.
The whole day, Jessie tried looking for Woo Bin but to no avail, he was nowhere to be found. What's going on? She thought.
Earlier, the students at Shinhwa gathered in front of the TV in the cafeteria when someone posted a picture of Woo Bin and Jessie getting cozy at the Han River. The headline read:
F4's Prince Song Woo Bin dating Shinhwa's newest student: Jessie Davis.
Jessie was then mobbed by a bunch of envious girls and at the same time, received much hate from the trio she met on her first day at Shinhwa. "First, Geum Jan Di takes our Gu Jun Pyo and now you! You took Woo Bin from us!" one of the girls exclaimed. "How dare you? What did you do to him? What spell did you put him under? Huh?" they asked as they shoved her.
"Push me one more time," Jessie threatened them. "Go ahead. Do it!" she got in their faces. They were intimidated and backed off. "I thought so." She said at last and walked off.
Suddenly her phone rang, not paying attention to the number she answered. "Hello?"
"Hey, Jessie," Caleb voice came ringing on the other end of the line.
"Hey Caleb!" she exclaimed. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing," he said. "I'm just here with the guys, we're just going for a stroll."
"Sounds like fun," she said sarcastically. "I have a lot to tell you guys and I can use some advice. Can I call you later?"
"Sure," he said. "It sure is nice and sunny here." He continued.
"It's sunny in Ipswich?" Jessie was confused.
"Who said we were in Ipswich?"
"Caleb, what are you talking about?" just then, Jessie heard a bunch of girls screaming. A crowd gathered suddenly, "Hold on, I can't hear anything. I'm turning the volume up. You see, a crowd's gathering and when a crowd gathers, it's a sign that the F4 are coming."
"Oh, I see," Caleb said. "But when people crowd when the F4 aren't around?"
Jessie thought it over for a moment. "That's a good question," she answered. "I have no idea. Watch where you're going, punk!" she called out as someone rushed past her. "Who the hell are they pining over now?" she asked herself. "Caleb, let me call you back, okay? Bye!" she hung up. "What's going on here?" she asked a student standing nearby.
"There are four hot guys here at Shinhwa!" she exclaimed. "They're so dreamy!"
"Are you talking about the F4?" Jessie asked.
"Nope!" she grinned widely. "I've never seen such hot foreigners before!" she giggled.
Jessie rolled her eyes. "Foreigners?" she mumbled. She pushed through the crowd to see who the student was talking about. Just then, she saw a familiar face as the light from the entrance died down. Then four familiar forms appeared in front of her. Her eyes lit up when she saw them. Her four best friends, the Sons of Ipswich. She screamed in delight and ran over and jumped on whoever could catch her. "AHHH! OH MY GOSH!" she exclaimed.
As soon as the other students found out Jessie knew them, they were bummed and the crowd died down. But Jessie and the guys didn't care, they were so happy to finally see each other. "I can't believe you guys are here!" she beamed as she grabbed each Son and pulled them in for a hug.
"Surprise!" Reid exclaimed as soon as he let her go.
So there you go! Tell me what you think?
