I tried to get this chapter out as soon as possible because I have multiple people screaming at me to keep writing. Again sorry last chapter was so short, but to make up for it this one is long. Anyway, Enjoy! (Smut free)
Jay made it through math, along all those other boring school subjects. He felt better but not great. He threw his books in his locker and turned around to see Evie standing there.
"Hey!" She said all happy. Jay smiled at her.
"Hi" Jay said semi-happier. "What ya want?"
"Thought I'd bring you by this cupcake that you didn't eat" She pulled a cupcake from her backpack in a special container.
"Why?" Jay asked confused, he felt happier now that Evie checked up on him.
"Oh I don't know… you just seem down in the dumps so this is to cheer you up before Tourney" Evie handed him the cupcake.
"Thanks Evie… I'm sorry for being a real downer-" Evie interrupted. She put a hand on his shoulder as he placed the cupcake in his locker.
"Don't be, we all feel upset that this happened… you take it harder because of everything else that happened before with Carlos…" Evie knew Jay felt bad for not protecting Carlos the previous night. Evie pulled him into a hug.
"I know…" He muffled into her shoulder. "I have to get to Tourney…" Jay pulled away grabbing his Tourney bag. "Thanks for the cupcake Evie." He said walking off toward the gym.
"See you later Jay" Evie watched him walk off. "DON'T KILL CHAD BY THE WAY!" she yelled at him.
"Will do..." Jay yelled back before he rounded the turn of the hallway.
Jay made it to Tourney a little late. He changed into his Tourney clothes fast. Right as he left the locker room to start warm-up with the team, a whistle blew. The team huddled for Coach's directions.
"Today you will do bench presses and laps inside… grab a partner, get at it!" Jay frowned… Carlos used to be Jay's partner always. Jay took a stand up looking around… the only un-partnered person left was a blonde haired boy. Jay didn't know him well, in fact… he never saw this guy before. Jay walked up, smiled, said, "well your my partner I guess" and grabbed him by the shoulder.
"I guess…" The boy smiled devilishly, Jay didn't notice. They walked into a separate room to set up weights. The blonde boy went first, after 11 presses he called for spot. Jay lifted the bar up back on the rest then switched him spots. Jay did a round of 19 presses, then they switched again. It soon came upon halftime for switching from weights to running. Jay almost had the bar placed on the rung when suddenly he felt it pushed down against his chest. The blonde haired boy who spotted Jay before tried to suffocate his lungs. The boy pushed it harder onto Jay's chest. Jay heaved for air.
"WHA-WHAT..?" He choked out. Just then another boy came around cupped Jay's mouth closed. Jay struggled with the bar as he found it hard to breathe. He thought of the only thing he could do… he reached his legs down frantically kicking the foot part that held spare weights. It made ear piercing sounds. The boy holding his mouth shut let go and ran off. Jay yelled out breathlessly.
"Coach!" The boy who held the bar on his chest got off scrambling away. Coach came running in. He helped Jay put the bar on the holder. Jay sat up gasping for air… his face blue.
"JAY! What are you thinking? I always say you have to have a partner to spot you when you lift!" Coach rubbed his hand on Jay's back. "Ya alright kid?"
Jay gasped out while taking deep breaths.
"I HAD A PARTNER! HE AND ANOTHER PERSON TRIED TO SUFFOCATE ME!" Jay stood up, blood boiling with confusion inside him. He hadn't realized that his actions attracted a crowd. Chad smiled, he knew to mess with Jay.
"What's the matter Jay? Thought you had it but then you couldn't?" A few of the other teammates chuckled at Chad's comment.
"NO! TWO GUYS TRIED TO…" He looked for the culprits. He didn't see them. "Two.. one was blonde… the other.." Coach cut him off.
"Jay you got lightheaded.. No one tried to suffocate you…." He tried to calm Jay.
"Just admit it Jay… don't get mad at Coach" He heard someone say. Jay clenched his fists. He still breathed heavily. Jay closed his eyes and looked down.
"Just forget it… he mumbled. Coach blew the whistle.
"EVERYONE LAPS" He circled his finger around his head signaling to run. The team ran laps singing a chant. One, two, three, four…run all the laps a-more…. 5, 6, 7, 8 try to keep running straight. Coach stayed with Jay as he took a few more breaths.
"You okay son?" He asked. They could hear the footsteps of the team hit the gym floor. Jay looked at Coach.
"I'm fine" Jay threw his hands to his side and smiled. "Never better" He jogged off to join the team as they ran. His chest hurt but he wasn't giving in to Chad or the minions he hired to try killing him. He didn't chant along... just ran. After about 5 big laps he heard Chad snickering behind him.
"Hey Jay" Chad cheesily smiled as he jogged up beside Jay.
"Fuck off Chad" he scowled running faster. Chad smiled as he quickly caught up with him.
"Oh Jay… silly boy…" Jay saw Chad scurry ahead of him. Finally leaving me alone… dick. Well Jay turned out wrong. Chad took a dead stop directly in front of Jay. Jay ran straight into him twisting his ankle on him as he fell to the floor. He felt a person pile on top on him as he hit the ground. Jay's head hit with a crack. He rolled onto his back closing his eyes. He heard Coach blow a whistle.
"ALRIGHT! PRACTICE IS OVER FOR TODAY!" Coach sounded angry. He heard footsteps approach him. He opened his eyes and turned his head to see Chad plus another boy talking to the coach. Coach sent them off to change as he knelt down by Jay.
"What's going on Jay? Is this about Carlos? You trying to get back at Chad?" He stared him dead in the eye. "Chad just told me he was running fine when you came along falling over him…. From what I saw, I believe him." Jay closed his eyes… he wanted to go home. His head hurt but it didn't get seriously injured from the fall.
"Coach… don't believe Chad.. someone did try to suffocate me and he tripped me!" Jay sat up. "Honestly Coach, I swear"
"Well Jay from what I saw.. You'd rather not hear what I have to say about that… just go change and get your head in the game for practice tomorrow" He held out a hand to help Jay up. Jay ignored the help standing by himself to his feet.
"Alright Coach" Jay limped off to the locker rooms. He entered seeing that most of the team exited as soon as Jay entered. He walked to his locker quickly throwing on shorts and a maroon tank-top before grabbing his coat separate along with his gear. Jay turned around. Once he did he felt a fist in his face. Jay fell backwards down hearing someone yell "I DID IT CHAD" as they ran out of the locker room. He didn't see who punched him, obviously some minion. Jay's nose started bleeding. He stood up punching the locker once before grabbing his stuff and rushing off before more people had the chance to hurt him. He also needed to get home before he unleashed his anger on someone.
*timeskip*
Jay burst through his dorm door throwing his stuff to the side dresser. He ran to the bathroom to look at his face. Blood ran from his nose, both dried and fresh. Jay didn't care about cleaning himself now… unleash fury first, help his body later. Jay walked back out to the bedroom area and started beating on his bed. The pillow, mattress, sheets, frame… all of it. He repeatedly punched for about 3 minutes before he calmed down. His knuckles ached. Jay laid face up on his bed aching all over. His head pounded. His side ached. His nose dripped with blood. His ankle screamed. Jay wished he fought Chad right then and there, but that would risk his return to the Isle. He couldn't do that to Carlos. He closed his eyes breathing calmly until he fell asleep about 10 minutes later. Jay didn't want to do anything for the rest of the night. He just wanted Carlos home. (Or to be alone, either way)
Knock knock knock. Evie repeated on Jay's room door. Knock knock knock. Still nothing. Evie wondered why Jay hadn't opened up or responded to her yet. She twisted the nob slowly and opened the creaky door. She didn't wasn't completely rude, she called inside first.
"Jay... Jay you in here?" She pushed the door all the way open to see Jay sleeping on his bed. His torn apart beaten bed. Her jaw dropped as she saw the blood on his face. Immediately she rushed over to him.
"JAY!" She sat on Jay's bed caressing his cheek. Jay's eyes flew open and looked at Evie.
What? What is there a fire?" Jay shot up with wide eyes. He didn't remember he came home after practice to sleep.
"No, no there isn't.. Jay what happened to you?" Evie pushed him to lie down.
"Oh.. oh right… I… I don't exactly know" Jay frowned at her. Evie stood up running to grab a wet paper towel for Jay's nose. "I'm kinda a mess tonight, I have no clue what's going on Evie…" He sat with his feet off the side of the bed as Evie came back tending to his nose bleed.
"Was it Chad?" Evie wiped off the blood from his nose. "If so we are gonna get him back…"
"Evie, I don't know who all it was… Chad along with a few minions he hired to try and kill me. Two guys tried choking me when I bench pressed, then Chad told coach I tripped him while running… twisted my ankle bad. Then in the locker room I went to leave and got punched in the face by someone." Evie felt fury boil in her. She then found herself looking Jay straight in the eye. Jay staring back. She broke the silence.
"Well, we are taking this straight to FG" She stood up. "Come on…. while you still have the scars." Evie tugged his hand pulling him up and helping him walk.
"Do we have to?" Jay groaned holding onto Evie as they walked out the room.
"Yes… the sooner the better… before Chad has the chance." Evie smiled in her head. I love the smell of Jay… especially when he is this close to me! Evie wanted go get her chance before Carlos came home possibly signaling losing Jay forever… well maybe. Jay leaned on her as he hobbled down the corridor. They made their way to the infirmary where Fairy Godmother worked.
"Fairy Godmother!" Evie said as she opened the door. Jay stumbling in as well. "We need to report an attempted murder…" Evie overreacted maybe just a bit. Jay hobbled up to the counter.
"My oh my, Jay… what happened?" Fairy Godmother rushed out from behind the desk looking at Jay. He had some blood under his nose still. Jay let Evie talk.
"I went to visit him after school, he said that Chad Charming and some… minions of his… beat him at Tourney practice. Uh, punched in the face, tripped and choked… that it?" She turned to Jay.
"Yeah… that's pretty much it" He supported his weight on the counter. "It was Chad… you have to believe me" Jay looked at Fairy Godmother.
"My, my, my I'll take the statement later… Jay do you want some help? Here follow me." Fairy Godmother held open a door motioning for Jay to come in. Evie watched him limp his way to the door. Fairy Godmother took him to a secure location and started tending his wounds. Evie took a seat in the waiting room. She texted Mal.
Hey where are you M?
With Ben…. y?
Something happened to Jay, I brought him 2 the infirmary… *frowny face*
Who did it?
Chad along with some friends… Jay doesn't know em...
Should I tell Ben?
Yeah.. i'm waiting here now… FG is gonna get his word on what happened after he's fixed up
I told Ben, we're coming… anything on Carlos?
No… I was gonna check later
Kk… on our way
After a while Jay walked out of the doors following Fairy Godmother. He hobbled over taking a seat by Evie. Fairy Godmother grabbed a paper from her desk and walked over pulling a chair up to ask Jay about what happened. Evie waited with Jay as Fairy Godmother wrote on her board. Fairy Godmother looked up at Jay.
"Tell me what happened Jay."
Jay explained the whole thing. He finished just in time because Mal and Ban arrived. Fairy Godmother got all what she needed to hear, she left the group to talk in the waiting area as she went behind the desk to tap on her computer. Ben spoke first.
"What happened?"
"He was beaten up by Chad.. and others" Evie replied.
"Well, we are gonna kick his ass" Mal stated loudly.
"Mal, we can't… Fairy Godmother…" Evie nodded her head towards the fairy who just hear Mal's statement, "took our statements and is gonna report it for us… we wait for the jury to deal with it"
"Maybe we should keep you indoors for awhile Mally-moo" Ben said wrapping his arms around her. Jay suddenly walked away up to the desk.
"What are the updates on Carlos?" He looked at Fairy Godmother behind the screen. She returned the gaze with a blank stare.
"They are still classified at the moment… Friday is the soonest we can give out information on him." She said softly. Jay frowned walking back to the group.
"Come on why don't we all just go home and take a break…" Ben suggested. "It's already 8 pm"
Jay startled. "8?"
Mal continued, "Yeah it's 8"
Evie piped in, "I came to check on you at 6…"
"And Tourney ended early I heard.. 4:30 I think instead of 5:30" Ben added in.
Evie finished. "You must have slept right after, baby" Evie went wide eyed as she covered her mouth. They all gaped at that word she used for Jay.. baby. Jay didn't know how to react.
"It's okay Evie…"
Ben just looked at Mal as they shared a "wtf?" glance. Evie's face got hot, highly embarrassed.
"Well… Ben and I are going to head out, we we'll see you two tomorrow… bye" Ben led Mal by the shoulders as they exited the infirmary to get out fast.
"Do you really think Fairy Godmother or the rest will believe Jay…" Mal questioned Ben.
"Mal I honestly don't know… we see your kind as a bit…" Ben knew he just rolled in deep shit.
Mal turned on heel. "What Ben? What are we?" She felt anger boil inside her.
"YOU THINK JAY DID THIS!" Mal punched his arm before storming off.
"NO! MAL! MAL WAIT!" He chased after her.
"BEN! LEAVE ME ALONE… US VK's WILL DEAL WITH THIS BY OURSELVES!" She threw his ring back at him and ran off. Ben knew he screwed up.
Evie and Jay waited around in silence for a bit before they left the infirmary. Jay hobbled out arm around Evie for support. Evie felt mad at herself for saying 'baby' referring to Jay. They didn't speak the rest of the walk back. Jay stumbled a few times but Evie caught him. Jay didn't mind that Evie called him 'baby' he doesn't mind a lot of things like that… girls say that all the time, he even steals from those girls! They entered the dormitory.
"I think I got it from here Evie… I'll use the banister for support, them 3 flights later it's dorm sweet bed dorm" He chuckled as he let go of Evie. "Thanks again E, you should probably get back to Mal, make sure she stays calm." Jay started up the stairs.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow at school then I guess…" She turned around walking to the door when she heard Jay say something.
"Night… 'baby'" He mocked. She blushed bright red, shook her head at him and raced out of the doors. He smiled knowing he made her blush.
Evie speedwalked away from that, but she couldn't help skipping the rest of the way to her dorm. Evie walked through her dorm door to see Mal on her bed crying into her hands. Evie dropped her bag and ran over to comfort her.
"Mal! What's wrong?" Evie forced Mal into hugging her. Mal hated love or emotions… mainly because it's all new to her.
"Evie.. we're screwed… they won't believe us villains…" Mal sat apart from her. "The only person now they would believe is Carlos… but Jay is screwed over on Chad"
Evie felt like crying. "Mal, Mal what are you saying..." Evie stared at her.
Mal looked teary eyed. "I'm saying… Chad might win, Ben thinks Jay did it all to get back at him… we could end up going back to the Isle"
"Don't worry Mal, as long as Jay hasn't done anything stupid we aren't at risk."
*Timeskip*
"Evie, you scared me… again" Evie smirked.
"You seemed down so I wanted to talk to you before Tourney" She leaned against a locker. It was the next day (Thursday) "How you feeling? Mr. scaredy pants..."
Jay chuckled "Well, I'm headed to Tourney again… let's hope I don't get hurt today..." Jay shut his locker. Evie pulled him into a hug. Jay smiled, he knew she cared about him.
"I've gotta get to Tourney… thanks for stopping by, I won't murder Chad either" Jay pulled out of the hug.
"See you later Jay" Evie said as she walked away.
"Bye" Jay walked off in the other direction to grab his Tourney stuff from the gym and rush to the field. Chad along with the rest of the team warmed up running and hitting by the time Jay arrived. He shot Chad glares but Chad didn't notice them. He shook his head trying to not focus on him. Jay's ankle healed overnight although it hurt once in awhile. Coach gave Jay a nod which meant "ready for today" Jay returned it as he headed into the locker room. Jay quickly changed again. Coach blew his whistle and Jay grabbed his helmet rushing out of the room to join the already huddled team outside.
"Today is rundown for formation… hope ya have studied the field good, Chad offense, Ben defense, Jay you run opposite Chad" Coach called out more positions as Jay felt his gut punch his brain. He had to block Chad without hurting him… what does this place expect from him? If he hits Chad hard to hurt him, he'll be in deep shit. If he doesn't then coach would bench him for awhile. Coach finished speaking, blew his whistle and called the game. Jay rushed to his position with his head a mess. The team started the game, Jay immediately felt a blow to his head. Chad pummeled him. Chad got off him, Jay felt his head pound from one blow. He furiously hit the ground, flipped over and stood up. He rushed to his position, he took a side swipe to Chad knocking him down. Jay kept running as Chad stood up. Chad hurt his shoulder but he couldn't let a minor injury weaken his plan. Chad knew Jay would hit him again eventually. Jay's team passed the Tourney ball in formation scoring a point. Coach blew his whistle as they setup again.
"RESET RESET" Jay ran back to position. Chad directly across from him. Jay saw Chad smirk. Coach blew another whistle and Jay charged for Chad blocking him. Chad made himself land on a bad angle with force, Jay felt himself being pulled onto Chad. Chad made him fall into his plan. Jay hit the ground on top of Chad. Chad held Jay down on top of him making it seem like Jay forcefully pinned him down. Jay felt himself held down on Chad, what is he doing?
"Chad let me go!" Jay screamed at him.
"JAY GET OFF ME!" Chad screamed louder causing bigger attention.
Coach ran over and pulled Jay off Chad. Chad faked injuries.
"Jay what are you doing?!" Jay looked at coach. "Well?"
"Coach I..." Jay began. Chad interrupted with a pain cry.
"You know that was a penalty boy! I have to bench you for that!" Coach started examining Chad. The night before Chad faked bruises on the main parts where Jay had hit. Jay fell right into his trap.
"JAY WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME?! I did nothing to you!" Chad yelled.
"YOU HURT CARLOS!" Jay yelled out starting to cry. "DON'T DENY IT!" Members from the team held Jay back from attacking Chad. "YOU HURT MY BEST FRIEND!" Jay struggled trying to get free.
"Jay, Jay calm down…" Ben said. Coach helped Chad up standing in front of him to block him if Jay attacked.
Jay stopped struggling. He leaned forward with two guys holding his arms behind his back. "Chad… I hate you, I hope one day you burn in hell" He stood straight and pulled free from the guys, he huffed as he walked away. The team watched as Jay left. Coach shook his head disappointed. Jay threw off his helmet, dropped his gloves, shield, and stick. He left them on the field. He ran into the locker room and started beating on a locker. Angrily throwing off his uniform, Jay packed only his own stuff in his bag. He left the jersey, shorts, padding, and everything else from the school behind as he ran out. His blood boiled and he couldn't control his anger… he was about to make a terrible mistake.
Jay took everything he had straight to Chad's dorm. He kicked in the door and vandalized Chad's room. Jay pulled out every dresser drawer throwing them on the floor. He unfolded all Chad's clothes and threw them wildly around the room. He tore apart his bed and shredded his pillows and curtains. He went to the kitchen area, grabbed some cleaning chemicals, then walked back to the bed. He dumped the chemicals all around the room, damaging bedding, electronics, and clothes. It took about 10 minutes, but Jay had done it… trashed the hell outta Chad's room. Jay found a way to unleash his fury… but it would come at a cost. He went to leave when he saw Fairy Godmother and Ben standing in the doorway. Jay knew he was in deep.
"Jaden… I came here to talk to Chad but it seems I found something better…."
DUN DUN DUN Hehe I had to… hope you liked it. Next chapter is going to have a lot going on so stay tuned! Until then…
