Eli: Hello. Eli here with the next Chapter of Seoul Music Academy.
Kibum: Chapter fourteen!
Kevin: ENJOY!
Dongho: why am I here?
We walked out of the airport and I called Taemin like I said I would.
"Hello?" He asked into the phone and I almost laughed.
"I'm in Seoul now. Where are you? School?" I asked and I heard a thump.
"Lessa!" I heard five voices yell into the phone.
"I'm safe. He's been put away and he won't be able to get me. I was attacked at the court house on the day of the trial by his friends. Eli, Kevin, Xander and Nat helped protect me while Aragon and Officer Ortega took each of the insane men away. I don't think I'll be messed with for a while." I said and I heard cheering.
"Well, we're at the park and we'll be at the airport soon to get you and Eli." Taemin said and I chuckled nervously.
"About that..." I said and I heard Eli laugh beside me.
"What?" Key asked and I sighed.
"We have the rest of U-kiss too." I explained and I heard Key laugh from the other side.
"We'll bring the van." Onew promised and I suddenly was curious.
"Are we going to be able to fit in the van with our luggage and our bodies?" I asked and I heard Key curse.
"Bad word, Umma. Lessa, we'll double stack. Stick luggage on Minho hyung's lap and make people sit on each others lap's." Taemin explained and I felt a weird feeling.
"I'm being held by Eli then." I said, suddenly insecure.
"That's fine. We'll be there soon With two cars." Key promised and he sang a goodbye before hanging up. I sighed and waited for the rest of the U-kiss boys to walk outside with us. A big white van pulled up in front of us with another car close behind. Taemin and Jonghyun jumped out of the van.
"Eli hyung!" Taemin said and I stepped out from behind Eli.
"So no welcome for the girl?" I asked, tugging at my hair. I laughed when Taemin literally skipped over to me and hugged me. Jonghyun just smiled and waved before taking my duffel and Eli's duffel to the car that was following the van.
"Lessa!" Key said, exiting the van.
"Hello, Key." I said and he hugged me tightly.
"You look a bit pale but then again, I'm always darker than you." He said, looking at me an arms length away. I sighed and shook my head. Minho stumbled out of the van and came over to us. Onew left the car.
"So the luggage goes in the car and the people get in the van." Key said and I nodded, following Taemin into the van. I buckled myself in and Eli sat with me and Taemin, me being stuck in the middle.
"Key, were on earth did you get that fifteen passenger van?" I heard Kevin asked and Key just laughed.
"You want one?" He asked and I heard Kevin laugh.
"We need one!" He exclaimed and I just shook my head, snickering.
"Hey, Lessa." Minho said and I nodded.
"Yo." I said and my phone buzzed. I checked it.
Do you really think those cops
could hold me for long?
"E-Eli." I said, grabbing at his jacket. "E-Eli, read this and tell me I'm not crazy."
"What?" He asked and I shoved the phone at him. He went from being puzzled to angry.
"$h!t..." He said and I smacked his shoulder. He looked at me.
"Language." I said and I just shivered.
"Lessa, you okay?" Minho asked and I shook my head. I showed him and Taemin the text. Taemin let out a string of curse words that Key would have washed his mouth out for. Minho himself looked ready to kill. Key looked in the van. I must have looked pale because he asked me what was wrong. Taemin showed him my phone.
"That sick son of a b***h!" Key yelled and I heard people ask him what was wrong.
"He's out of prison." Key said and I heard someone punch the van. I jumped at the punch, shrieking loudly. Eli hugged me closely to him and stroked my hair. I almost cried in fear. Kevin looked inside the van, took one look at me before leaving. I heard him cursing and screaming, kicking the tires of the van.
"That's it, I'm getting you a new phone." Taemin said and I heard Key call for Minho.
"Yeah, Umma?" Minho asked, getting out. I sighed and just held on tightly to Eli.
"Get Lessa a new phone. Fast." Key ordered and I gasped. I almost got out of the van but Taemin stopped me.
"Stay in the van." He ordered. I nodded and stayed while he went out. Key poked his head back in.
"We are getting you new phone and adding your contacts into the new phone. Okay?" He said and I sighed. I nodded and Onew finished loading the luggage into his car and kissed Key goodbye. I smiled. They were sweet together. Onew waved as he drove away. I watched as the rest of the guys piled in the van. Kevin looked at me, tears in his eyes. Soohyun looked at me, and turned away.
"Lessa, he will not get you. Onew left to buy you a new phone. When he gets back, you'll transfer all of your contacts to the new phone and cancel the plan on the old one." Key said and I nodded, feeling fear wash my body in ice. I shivered against Eli and he wrapped his arms around me protectively. I cried silent tears, clearing my thoughts of all hope that I would get away.
I don't know when I fell asleep. All I know was that when I woke up, I wasn't very pleased with what I saw. We were in the U-Kiss dorm and the guys from U-kiss, BIGBANG and SHINee were all camped out in the living room on the floor while I slowly sat up on the couch.
"Not happening." I muttered and I rubbed my eyes. The guys heads flipped to me.
"Lessa." G-D sighed and I got up, giving him a hug.
"Jeez, don't friggin give me a heart attack yet, kiddo. I still have a career." He joked roughly and I smiled and hugged him tighter.
"Nice to know I can always come home to people that love me." I said dryly and G-D wrapped and arm tightly around my shoulders.
"Lessa..." Taemin whined and I laughed, removing G-D's arm and hugging Taemin.
"I just realized something." Dongho said and I turned to him.
"What's that?" I asked and he smiled.
"You are the youngest in this room." He stated and I looked around.
"Well, dang. I am. That just sucks." I said and everyone laughed.
"Feel like running?" Daesung asked and I shook my head. There was a knock on the door. Onew opened the door. Leeteuk and Heechul of Super Junior stood outside.
"Today just gets better." I huffed and Onew laughed at me.
"Don't mind her, hyung-deul. She's just in shock right now. Not because of you but because of what happened this morning." Onew explained.
"You're that girl who's crazy step-dad shot at the school." Heechul said and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't like him. He's not my step-dad, despite what the marriage certificate says." I said coldly and I turned to the sound system, finding my iPod in it.
"Okay, now who was in my dorm?" I asked and Eli came up behind me.
"I was. I got you some clothes and your iPod. Daesung has some headphones as well, if you want to listen and dance." Eli said and I turned to him.
"No dancing. Not dancing at all." I said and I went to his room and found my fresh clothes on his bed. I gabbed a T-shirt and my jeans and went to the bathroom to change. I returned in my blue jeans and a bright orange T-shirt. I walked back into the living room. Soohyun pointed to the hamper and I dropped my clothes in.
"Nice shirt." Taeyang said looking at me.
"I know. It's my special shirt." I winked and he laughed. I sat down on the couch. Dongho was over by the sound system, trying to do something. Sooner that I would have like, Bonamana was playing and I sighed, tilting my head back and smiling gently.
"Music has weird effects on her." I heard someone mutter.
"Don't take a stab at my playlist because it has more talent than you think. Besides, Super Junior is friggin awesome. Especially Super Junior M." I said and Onew laughed.
"Yes that works I guess." He said and I cracked open an eye. Leeteuk was on the phone and I groaned.
"They all coming here?" I asked, mortified. Onew looked at me and shuffled his feet.
"Don't worry. They're really nice." Taemin assured and I sighed. I nodded at Leeteuk and he smiled at me.
"They'll be really calm. I hope." Heechul muttered and I smiled.
"You better hope so, Cinderella." I said and Heechul laughed.
"You're a petal?" He asked and I nodded. He smiled bigger and hugged me. I stiffened.
"Heechul, back up. Too close." Leeteuk said and I smiled in thanks.
"Umma! We're here!" Someone yelled from the door. Leeteuk sighed and opened the door. I was holding a cover to my ears. I turned and lowered the cover. Heechul stood behind the couch, to my right. Thirteen guys filed into the room.
"Teukie-umma, who's she?" One of them asked and I smiled.
"I'm Lessa." I answered the one who asked the question smiled.
"Henry Lau." He introduced. I looked at him.
"Chinese?" I asked and Henry nodded, looking stunned.
"Your facial features are slightly sharper than any Koreans and you're just a tad darker. Not to mention, I know a few people who are Chinese." I explained and his stunned look slowly left.
"You live around Chinese people? Where are you from?" Another asked and I noted that he was Chinese as well.
"Zhou Mi?" I asked and he nodded. "Nice to meet you. I'm from the US."
"I could say the same, except, I do not know you." He said and I nodded.
"Only fair." I said and Leeteuk looked at me.
"You are very calm for an ELF." He said and I shrugged.
"My emotions really don't register what has happened until like two days afterwords. By then, I'll be in my dorm reading or singing." I said and Leeteuk looked surprised.
"Why is that?" He asked and I looked down.
"That thing that calls himself my step-dad. He killed my mom. He's shot me, stabbed me, beaten me to near death and has tried other things. I locked away my emotions since I was five. They have a slow reaction time." I said and Leeteuk looked like he was ready to faint.
"And you still smile?" Taemin asked from behind me.
"I still live on. Not like I can stop my life because things happen. Life happens and you either face it or drown in the floods." I said and Kevin looked like he was ready to cry.
"Kevin..." I sighed and I got up and went over to him. I hugged him and his arms gripped my waist and held me tightly.
"I'm so sorry he is still hunting you." He whispered and I started feeling tears slip down my face.
"It's fine. I knew he would get out." I said and I dried my face off and looked at Kevin.
"Like you said. Life happens and we can either face it or drown in the floods." He said and I smiled before standing.
"I know you can sing but does this really mean you are safe?" Soohyun asked and I smiled sadly.
"That's the thing. I never if I'm going to be safe, Soohyun." I said and I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"We'll help." Henry said and Zhou Mi nodded. Leeteuk smiled proudly at Henry and Zhou Mi. I smiled and felt an urge to hug them both. Henry laughed and hugged me. He let go and Zhou Mi hugged me as well. I stepped back from Zhou Mi and walked over to my iPod.
"What song are you picking?" Henry asked and I smiled.
"One that I know." I answered and I heard people laugh at me. I heard a couple people talking.
"What's the songs name?" Zhou Mi asked and I smiled.
"Supergirl." I answered and I heard someone laugh.
"Super Junior M?" Leeteuk asked and I shook my head.
"No. It's by a girl named Krystal Harris." I said and it started playing and I started singing to it. I forgot my fear for that short time of singing for my friends and family.
"She's a singer all right." Soohyun said and I mock glared at him after the song finished.
"Shush." I said and he laughed. I sighed walking to the kitchen to get a drink.
"Lessa, wanna help make dinner?" Kevin asked and I smiled.
"Do you know if anyone is going to interrupt this time?" I asked, thinking back to all the times we were interrupted while cooking. Kevin laughed and shook his head at me.
"I'm not a Seer, Lessa." He said and I sighed.
"Dang." I said and I turned to Eli.
"If my phone rings, either hit Ignore or hide it until later." I ordered and he nodded. I turned back to Kevin, who was holding a black apron that had a panda on it.
"Oh wow." I said and Kevin smiled.
"We said we would get you one. It's not pink either." He said and I put it on. I loved it.
"Thanks guys." I said and Soohyun called for me.
"Lessa!" He yelled and I walked out of the kitchen.
"It suits you." Kiseop said and I smiled.
"Thanks guys. I love it." I said and I spun around just for fun and then high-tailed it back to the kitchen. I heard laughter and someone following.
"I'm Ryeowook." The person following said and I smiled.
"Nice to meet you Rye-Ryeo-" I struggled with his name and he just smiled.
"Call me Wookie." He said and I smiled.
"Wookie then. Nice to meet you, Wookie." I said and Kevin handed him Xander's apron.
"I'll help." He said and he took the apron, put it on and looked at Kevin.
"We're making chicken soup." Kevin said and I looked in the fridge.
"No chicken." I said and Kevin sighed. I walked into the other room.
"Soohyun! We need you to run a couple errands for us. We're making chicken soup and we need chicken." Kevin called and Onew ran for the door.
"Give him a minute and he'll return with the chicken from our dorm." Key said and Baby Don't Cry came on and I started to tear up with the first notes.
"Lessa, are you crying?" Kiseop asked and I nodded.
"It happens when I listen to this song. I always cry to this song. I sometimes wish this was how everything really was like. Someone like that to care for me." I said and Daesung stood, looking sorry.
"My fault. I sing this song." He said and I nodded.
"Not your fault you're a good singer." I said and he blushed.
"Now you are just being silly." Daesung said and I smirked.
"No, I'm being honest." I said and I heard someone 'ooh' like a first-grader. I looked at G-D and he had a big cheesy grin on his face.
"Act you're age." I said and he smiled up at me.
"Sorry. Not gonna happen." He said and I sighed, turning to the kitchen again, getting out the pans Kevin asked me to grab. I grabbed the pans and Onew ran in.
"Here is the chicken." He said and I kissed his cheek.
"Thanks Onew." I said and he walked into the living room.
"Told you." Key said as he came in.
"Wanna help?" Kevin asked and Key nodded, taking a red apron off the rack. Buttons came on and I sang to it. Everyone looked at me when I finished. I blushed a crimson and turned to the chicken.
"Wow." I heard someone say. I blushed. In continued cooking, singing along with the songs that played. But when Supergirl came on. I stopped everything and turned to Dongho.
"Change it." I murmured, mortified once again. Dongho skipped that one and Ignorance started playing. I laughed.
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me,
Well sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (Yeah! )
We're not the same (Yeah! )
Oh we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey! )
It's good (Hey! )
It's good (Hey! )
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
And this is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person, but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same (No! )
We're not the same (No! )
Oh we're not the same
Yeah, the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (Hey! )
It's good (Hey! )
It's good
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
I turned to the Super Junior boys. They had their jaws dropped and on the floor.
"Sweet lord in heaven." One murmured and I blushed.
"Lessa, will you quit that?" Eli asked and I smiled innocently.
"Quit what?" I asked and Eli came closer to me.
"Quit dazing people with the singing. I'm," He said and he dropped his voice to a whisper. "I'm starting to get jealous, okay?" He said and I smiled more genuinely.
"Awww, Eli. Don't worry about it." I said and I dropped my voice to a whisper too. "I still want you as my boyfriend more than anyone else in the room."
He smiled and kissed my head before going over to the iPod and changing it to Light It Up. I laughed at my dorky boyfriend as he and his bandmates sang with the song. When it ended, I applauded him and the others for their effort.
"Good job." I said and Shut Up came on right then. I blushed and watched the boys dance to it. I blushed even more when Eli brought me over to join them, so I would play the part of the girl in the video. Soohyun came up to me and I blushed like no tomorrow. However, when Eli's part came to kiss the girl, I did that with no hesitation. The wolf-whistles were enough for a blush, however.
"Lessa, do you need a drink?" Wookie asked after they had finished the song. I nodded and looked at Eli. He winked and turned to jump into the conversation with Dongho and Kyuhyun, arguing over video games. I went back to cooking with Key and Wookie, who immediately went Spanish Inquisition on me.
"Okay, how long?" Key asked and I looked at him.
"How long what, Key?" I asked, keeping my eyes on the pan.
"How long have you been dating Eli?" Key clarified. Wookie seemed interested to know that as well. I blushed and stirred the chicken.
"Almost two weeks." I answered and Key hugged me.
"Good job, hun." He said and I looked at him.
"What?" I asked and Wookie smiled.
"Eli is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He was raised to respect a woman and he would never let you get hurt. That is, if he can help it." Wookie said and I turned to look at them.
"Did you plan this?" I asked them and they looked at each other before blushing.
"Noooooo." They said, a little too innocently for my liking. I just sighed and felt someone behind me. I turned to see Eli in his apron, standing there.
"Scoot over and hand me a pan." He ordered and I did as told. When he started to get the chicken browning, he smiled at me.
"I love you." He said and I blushed. Key aww-ed and I swatted at him.
"Eli, I love you too. Now focus on the chicken. Onew would go on a murderous rampage if it burns." I said, kissing Eli's cheek before turning to add more oil to my pan. I started singing Beautiful by Christina Aguilera. I sang the chorus over and over.
"You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today..." I sang. I heard clapping. I turned to see people crowded around to door to hear me.
"Thanks." I said. Eli wrapped an arm around my waist and hugged me tightly.
G-D came in with a phone an held it out to me.
"Call Nat and Aragon. Aragon is flipping out over the fact that he was let out of prison so soon and Nat is just worried, though he won't tell you." G-D said and I took the phone. I called Aragon.
"Nii-sama? It's Lessa. Yeah, I'm safe. We have an army to protect me. Well kinda but you get the point." I said and I paused for Aragon to talk.
"Yes, I'm getting a new phone. Key said he would get me one so I won't leave the building or grounds. Yes, G-D is keeping a close eye on me. I'm always surrounded with boys anyway, Aragon. No, Eli is trying anything stupid. Bad words, Nii-sama. What have I done? Nothing. I've slept. I've been singing, I'm cooking right now." I said and Aragon sighed over the phone. I paused again.
"Yes, I will. I do have that black blade under my pillow. I do have the pistol in my dresser. The hunting knife? Nat." I said and I looked at the guys. They were gaping at me.
"What?" I asked them and they just shook their heads. I shook my own head.
"Wait what?" I asked and Aragon repeated what he had said.
"Sure. Like Kevin wouldn't kill me after that." I answered sarcastically. I waited for a moment before answering the next question.
"Sorry, personal and I really need to talk to Nat. Can I call you some other time?" I asked and he hung up after a quick goodbye.
"You have that many weapons in your room?" Leeteuk asked and I nodded.
"That's just my bedroom. In the dining room, there's a hollow leg on the table that knives are in. I have a sword hidden behind my painting and under my couch is a couple pistols with a dozen magazines." I answered and the men just gaped at me.
"I'm from California. There's a lot of crazy stuff there." I said and I called Nat.
"G-D?" He asked and I laughed.
"Wrong. Not using my phone because psycho man messaged me. Anyway, I know you are worried. Don't be. I've got G-D, Eli, Kevin and Soohyun. Not to mention the fact that Eli is already trying not to hunt down psycho man but that's something totally different." I said and Eli snorted a laugh.
"Dang right I am." He muttered and I pushed his shoulder.
"I'm good though. I've got my weapons and I've got almost twenty bodyguards. I'm good." I said and Nat laughed.
"Okay, Nat. Bye." I said and I hung up. I turned to the others.
"Well, that's taken care of. G-D? Here's your phone." I said, passing G-D his phone back. He nodded and left the kitchen. I turned back to the chicken and hummed a random tune in my head. I felt a familiar sting of tears. I quickly took a few deep breaths.
"Lessa, are you okay?" Eli asked me from my right. I shook my head.
"No where near okay." I said and he took my hand, giving Key my cooking spoon.
"I'll bring her right back, Kevin." Eli said and he pulled me to his room. I was numb. He sat me on his bed and closed the door. I was on a high alert at that point. He sat in the chair across the room.
"Lessa, look at me." Eli said and I looked at him. He looked sad. "I need you to tell me when you aren't feeling in a good mood or if you aren't okay. I really need that because I want you to have what you want and what you need." Eli said and I got up and walked over to him. I dropped to my knees in front of him and took his hand. I held it to my face.
"You have given me what I want and what I need." I said and I made him look at me when he turned his head.
"Lessa..." Eli whispered and I made him be quiet.
"Listen to me. I'm not used to being waited on hand and foot. It's something totally new to me. I love you, Eli but it's hard to change what I taught myself for so many years." I said and Eli looked at me. I felt like crying. "I'm sorry that I'm so closed off from you."
"Lessa, don't be sorry you are closed off. You aren't used to this and I shouldn't force you to do things like this." Eli said and he pulled me up onto his lap. I hugged him tightly.
"Lessa, Eli, open the door." Kevin ordered from the other side. I opened the door. Kevin looked at me and Eli.
"Nothing happened?" Xander asked from behind him in total disappointment. I blushed a brilliant red. I walked away and flopped onto Eli's bed. I herd Kevin tell Xander off in either Korean or some other language.
"Lessa, he didn't mean it." Eli said as he pulled me off the bed.
"Sure, Eli." I said and then I walked with Eli, hand in hand, to the living room. I saw SHINee, Super Junior and Bigbang still there. I let go of Eli's hand and turned around, walking right back to the room.
"Lessa..." G-D said and I walked back, head hanging.
"Nothing happened, G-D." Kevin said and G-D looked surprised.
"Nothing? Here I was thinking Lessa would have cried at least." G-D said and I felt anger surge.
"Thanks, G-D. I love you too." I said dryly. He gaped at me.
"H-Hey!" He protested and I glared.
"You really have to act surprised? Really?" I asked him, anger welling in the pit of my stomach. G-d cringed.
"You really think that I would be so stupid as to doing something like that? With at least twenty people within earshot? G-D, you are so...UGH! I can't even think of a word for you." I said and I quickly got out of the apron and left the dorm, Leeteuk and Eli calling after me. I walked to my dorm, opened it and slowly worked on calm,ing down. I played So Small quietly, feeling my anger slowly melt away. I even started a pot of tea. I heard a knock which pulled me from my reverie. I checked the peep-hole. It was Heechul, Leeteuk and Ryeowook. I opened the door.
"Hi." I said and I gestured for them to come in.
"You okay?" Leeteuk asked and I nodded slowly.
"Still a bit angry but slowly working on it." I answered. Heechul smiled and the teapot started whistling. I went into the kitchen, pulled out my tea and made my cup of tea. I returned and looked at my guests.
"Would you like some tea, gentlemen?" i asked. Ryeowook nodded while Heechul and Leeteuk shook their heads.
"I'll be right back, Bookie." I said and I walked into the kitchen, making a cup of vanilla tea. I returned and handed the cup to Ryeowook.
"Thank you, Lessa." Ryeowook said. I smiled and sat with the guys. Leeteuk looked at me.
"Lessa, I'm sorry that G-D made you mad. However, with what has happened, I don't think you should be alone for a while." He said and I nodded.
"I know. I just did something rash like usual, but nobody got hurt this time." I said and my door was knocked upon again. I stood and answered it. Eli, Kevin and Daesung came in.
"Hey." I greeted and Eli pulled me into a hug.
"I'm sorry he made you mad so soon." Eli whispered and I shook my head.
"It's fine. Really. I just need some more music." I said and Fearless by Jay Chou came on. Henry and Zhou Mi were at my door too.
"Nice choice in music." Henry said. I smiled.
"Thanks. This is my meditation playlist." I said and Eli looked at me.
"You meditate?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yes. When I can make time." I said and Eli groaned.
"Now I feel bad. I take up your personal time because I want to spend it with you." He groaned and i laughed.
"Eli, you're nuts. I said when I can make time. I haven't had a lot of free time anyway. We go to the same school, for crying out loud." I said to him, kissing his cheek.
"You're friggin insane, Kyoung Jae." I said and Eli blushed.
"Not the real name." He pleaded playfully. I laughed before Alice by Avril Lavigne came on. I felt like singing to it. So I did.
Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down
I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet, on the ground
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, and I won't cry." I stopped singing as the song closed. I spun around to face the others. They looked a bit stunned as I waited for their reaction.
"Lessa, you got to stop that." Eli groaned from beside me and I looked at him.
"Doing what?" I asked, completely clueless to what he meant.
"Dazing people. You singing causes them to go into shock." He said and I gasped.
"Omo! Mianhae!" I said and before clapping my hands over my mouth.
"Did you just apologize in Korean?" Daesung asked and I nodded slowly, pulling my hands away from my mouth.
"Yeah. Sorry." I said in English and Daesung just shook his head.
"G-D would never believe me." Daesung said and I sighed.
"I'll repeat what I said to him later. Just, don't spring it on him. It's bad enough that I yelled at him." I said and I flopped to the floor, making a thump loud enough to shake Henry, Zhou Mi, Leeteuk, Heechul and Ryeowook to wake up from their daydream.
"Lessa, are you okay?" Ryeowook asked and I nodded.
"Bloody brilliant." I mumbled and I yawned, spreading my arms out in a spread eagle way. Eli went to my room and returned with a pillow and blanket. I lifted my head and he slid the pillow underneath it. He laid the blanket on me and I smiled.
"Thanks Eli." I said and I closed my eyes.
"Lessa, did you seriously apologize in Korean?" G-D asked and I sighed, opening my eyes.
"Hello G-D." I said and I closed my eyes again.
"Repeat what you said, Lessa." G-D said and I sighed.
"I said, 'Omo! Mianhae!' Happy?" I asked and I didn't bother to open my eyes.
"I am." He murmured and I sighed. I started to move before I felt a hand on my arm.
"Don't move." Eli ordered and I stayed still.
"Yes sir." I answered. Eli kissed my head before removing his hand. I opened my eyes to see him lay next to me. I smiled and scooted over close to him. He wrapped an arm around my waist.
"Okay, time for everyone to leave." Daesung said and I opened my eyes to see him herd everyone out the door.
"Goodnight, Lessa. Eli, don't do something to her that she doesn't want." G-D said before closing the door. I closed my eyes and felt Eli scoot up closer to me, encasing me in his arms. I sighed contentedly. Eli chuckled, the sound vibrating in his chest, sending shivers down my spine. Eli's breathing evened out. He fell asleep with me in his arms. I sighed, his scent washing me into a warm sleep. I don't know how it happened, but when Soohyun came to my dorm for us, he was shaking us awake.
"Lessa, you awake?" Soohyun murmured and I nodded, barely moving my head.
"My neck hurts." I said and Soohyun blanked.
"Why?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know, Soohyun. I just woke up." I said and Eli groaned, turning over and pulling me with him onto his chest.
"He does this everytime. Eli, time to wake up." I said, kissing his jaw.
"Nooooo." He groaned and I giggled before kissing his jaw again.
"Eli, get up. Soohyun is here." I said and Eli opened one eye.
"I did it again, didn't I?" He asked and I nodded. He released me and I crawled off of him. He sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes.
"Hey, hyung." He acknowledged and Soohyun nodded. I turned to find a clock. 5:30 AM.
"Soohyun what the hell is with the time?" I grumbled and Soohyun made a shh sign.
"He made it here." Soohyun said and I looked at Eli. His once sleepy brown eyes were suddenly dark with rage. I quickly grabbed his arm.
"Don't do anything rash." I whispered to him and he looked at me.
"I won't." He promised and he reached under my couch and pulled out of of my pistols. I undid the safety on it and handed the gun back to him. He smiled at me and I went into my room and went to my dresser. I pulled out my favorite gun, a Walther P99 semi-automatic. I made sure I had enough ammo for a firefight and walked into the living room. Eli was standing with Soohyun. Both had a weapon. Eli had my Jericho 941 and Soohyun had my old revolver. I sighed and looked at them.
"You know how to shoot, right?" I asked and they nodded. I smiled and headed for the door. I had my hand on the knob when I heard something. I heard shots fired outside. I turned to the window and walked to it. I opened the window. Nat and Matthew were having a fire fight in the streets.
"MATTHEW JAMES!" I screamed and he looked up. I smiled.
"Come and get me." I said before running out of my dorm, down the stairs and outside of the school. I walked forward to Nat. I smiled.
"Morning, Lessa." Nat said and I nodded.
"Morning, Nat." I said and we looked at Matthew. He smiled a dark smile.
"Good morning, Lessa, Nathaniel. Beautiful, isn't it? Toobad you won't see the dy." He said and I leveled my pistol. He laughed and brought up his gun. Nat looked at me before turning his gun to Matthew.
"I wouldn't do that." Eli growled behind Matthew, his gun against the skull.
"Now, Eli, let me do it. It would only tarnish your reputation. I have nothing to lose. Come over here with me." I said and Eli shook his head.
"I'm not supposed to do that, Lessa. Sorry." He said and I sighed.
"Sure, Eli. Whatever." I sai back. Soohyun walked over to me and pointed his gun at Matthew.
"Put down the gun, Mr James. You have nowhere to go." Soohyun said and Matthew's eyes darted back and forth. He noticed it.
"Fine by me. I'll just take her with me." He said, and fired once. I smirked as the bullet hit my shoulder and I shot back at him. Four shots hit his head, spraying it to smitherines. I sat down as pain flooded my shoulder and arm. Soohyun had his phone out in record time and was talking into it. I grit my teeth as the wind stung my wound.
"Didn't think he would die. He's dead now." Nat said, poking the corpse with his boot. Dongho walked up to us, a camera in his hand.
"It's recorded so that if a trial does come up from this, I have proof." He said and I looked at him.
"Dude..." Nathaniel said and I smacked my forehead.
"That's brilliant. You did a good thing." I said and Eli looked at me.
"You feel pain, don't you?" He asked and I nodded, I walked over to him, skirting the corpse. He took my hand on my uninjured arm. Lights flashed and an ambulance pulled up with a couple cops. Dongho walked up with us. A news crew came with them.
"This is the second shooting here at Seoul Music Academy." I said and everyone looked at me.
"They have only happened when you started going here." Nat said and I smiled.
"Then maybe this is the wrong school." I said making Eli, Soohyun and Dongho to gasp a no.
"Don't leave." Eli pleaded and I looked at him.
"I never said I was going to leave." I said and they sighed in relief. Eli hugged me and I hissed in pain.
"Sorry! Sorry!" He said and I smiled despite my pain.
"It's fine." I assured him. The police were talking to Dongho, who held up the camera and were showing the video to the cops. They were taking notes and I saw Dongho bow to them and give them the video camera. A camera crew were lookig at us and I turned away from the camera.
"This is going to make world news." I muttered and I felt woozy. My shoulder was still bleeding so I contributed it to blood loss and dropped. I heard screams and felt two waves of pain wash over my body like hot water. One was from my shoulder and one from my head. Eli was over me when I blacked out.
