Chapter 16- Closer

Elisa: Uh-oh... It's chapter 16!

Me: Yup, this is it.

Johnny: I think this chapter needs a bit of an explaination

Bryan: yeah... just a bit...

Me: Ok, this chapter is what happens when you mix my sick and twisted mind with the song Closer, by Nine Inch Nails, which is where the name for this chapter came from. Part of it is kind of... deep I guess. I don't really know another word for it. And yeah.. Elisa, you have anything to say?

Elisa: What's the time?

Me: Disclaimer time!

Johnny: Ugh, I'll read it I guess

Me: Aw... and I didn't even have to ask you! You're so sweet Johnny!

Everyone else:raises eyebrow:

Johnny: BXR does not own beyblade... simple as that...

Me: Excellent Smithers! Now on with the chapter!

Recap:I re-told my conversation with Kai to Elisa. Se sat there wringing her hands violently the whole ride home...

Chapter Start

Once we got to the hotel, my team and the Majestics decided to go out for a "night on the town" and they said they weren't going to be back until mad late. Johnny was a little reluctant about leaving me because he heard my fight with Kai and didn't want me to get too upset and do anything "stupid". Despite the fact that we both thought it was best that we broke up, I could tell he still cared. Especially once Kai left. After I convinced him that everything would be fine, everyone left. Which left me, Elisa, and my brother alone until 5:30 when Bryan came.

(Elisa's POV)

Nicole told me that Bryan was coming so it was no surprise when there was a knock on the door at 5:35. Nicole was in our room so I answered it.

"Hey Angel," I greeted with a smirk on my face.

"Only Nicole can call me that," Bryan informed, stepping inside the room.

"Oh well excuse me..." I closed the door after him. "Bryan, this is Nick, he's Nicole's twin brother."

"Aren't you from the Demolition Boys?" Nick asked, giving Bryan a dirty look.

"Yeah, so what?" Bryan asked,

"What the hell are you here?"

Sure... leave it to Nick to start trouble... with Bryan of all people.

"I'm here to see your sister. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Yeah, as a matter of fact I do!"

"Nick! Shut the hell up!" I yelled. "Nicole can see whoever she wants, you can't say otherwise. Come on Bryan, our room is this way."

(Normal POV)

I heard a knock on my door. "Come in..."

The door opened and Elisa and Bryan stood in the doorway.

"I'll leave you kids alone," Elisa winked and closed the door behind Bryan.

"Hey kid," he greeted.

"Hey," I smiled and waved weakly.

"Are you ok?" Bryan sat next to me on my bed.

"I guess..."

"Is this about what Kai said?"

"I guess..."

"Don't listen to him. He just wants to upset you. Don't let him get to you."

"Angel, what did he mean when he said you couldn't love me? I heard Tala say it too, the first day we met. Then you threw a knife at him."

Bryan sighed with a blank expression on his face. "I guess I could explain this to you. After all, it couldn't hurt." He sighed again. "When I was born, and basically throughout my whole life, Boris and the scientists at the Abbey taught me to block out every emotion but anger and hate. I guess they wanted me to become some little ruthless warrior blader killer thingy... When Tala and Kai said that I couldn't love you, they meant it. It's not that I don't know how... I just... can't... Every time I try to have an emotion like that, it's replaced with lust. Oh yeah... they made me keep that too..."

"So whenever you try to love someone, you get really horny instead?" I tried not to joke around, as this was a serious situation. But my twisted little mind got the best of me.

"Hn, yeah basically." Bryan chuckled at my need to make a joke.

"So I'll know if you like me or not if you try to do me every five minutes?"

"Yup..." Bryan smirked as though he was trying not to laugh.

I ruffled his hair, "You're still cool Angel."

"After everyting I said, you still want to call me that?"

"Of course. It makes it all the more misleading." I smiled.

Bryan put his thumb on my cheek. "You're too cute Nicole."

"Thanks Bryan."

It seemed a little awkward because we used our actual names. He usually called me "Kid" and I called him "Angel." We sat there and talked for around what seemed like an hour or so. After a while, Bryan looked like was fighting a battle in his head, and losing. I figured out what that battle was about once I discovered that he lost it. Bryan threw himself at me and our lips hit. I was slightly thrown off by the action, but not upset by it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he practically forced his tongue in my mouth. Like I said, I wasn't complaining. I just wasn't expecting it. The two of us were now fiercely making out on the floor of my room. We didn't even brake so that Bryan could rip his shirt off over his head, revealing his toned arms and chest. He moved from my lips down to my neck, which he proceeded to bite quite a few times. Since it didn't hurt like I expected it to, I just exhaled sharply and closed my eyes.

(Elisa's POV)

I was so bored! Nick had left a few minutes earlier with Adam and the rest of the guys were gonna beout all night. Twice I considered checking up on Nicole and Bryan, and twice I thought better of it. All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked.

"Elisa, it's Tala. Open up," Tala answered.

I opened the door and let him in.

"What do you want Tala, it's like 9:00?" (A.N. Yeah, that much time passed...lol)

"Is Bryan here? He said he was going somewhere but he didn't say where. Since it's getting kinda late, I wanted to find him."

"Yeah, he's here. He's with Nicole in her our room."

"Oh..." Tala's face drained of emotion like it always did when he was upset. I lead him down the gall to our room and opened the door, Neither of us were fully prepared for what we saw... Bryan and Nicole were on the floor making our quite roughly. Bryan was shirtless and on top of Nicole who (not to my surprise), was fully clothed. Bryan had bitten her lip it was bleeding. Either they didn't notice or they didn't care.

"Damn..." I thought to myself. "I didn't know Nicole was like that."

"As you can see," I began aloud to Tala. "Bryan is quite erm... busy at the moment... And that was something I didn't need to see..." I closed the door. Tala looked more upset than I had ever seen him.

"Tala, what's wrong?" I asked, as we sat back down in the living room.

"Why does she like him?" He asked. "I mean don't get me wrong Bryan is my best friend, always has been. But it's just that he can't love her like she deserves to be loved. I can."

"Tala look I know you like her, a lot. But she doesn't love Bryan, or anyone for that matter. She just had her heart ripped out, torn to pieces, put through a shredder, burned, and spit on. She needs time to get over it. As for her and Bryan, they aren't going out and they probably never will. If Nicole ever does get another boyfriend, I know who it would be, and it's not Bryan."

Tala's eyes looked hopeful.

"But don't get your hopes up," I continued. "Especially because Nicole is really vulnerable right now. So don't try to force her into anything. If you do, I will remove your intestines and use them to hang you by your reproductive organs."

(Normal POV)

Bryan and I had stopped making out and whatnot and we were now just laying on my bed.

"Angel, can you teach me how to do it?" I asked.

"How to do what?" Bryan questioned.

"Block out my emotions like that. I need to learn how to. I don't want to get hurt anymore..."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because there are people out there that care about you. You need those emotions. I don't."

"What, are you saying that no one cares about you Bryan? Because I do. Even though we haven't known each other for long, I still consider you one of my closet friends." I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug. To my surprise, he didn't argue. He put one arm around me and ruffled my hair with the other.

"Thanks kid."

I smiled, put my head on his chest, and fell asleep.

(Elisa's POV)

Tala and I bullshitted for around two hours before realizing how late it was.

"I should get going," Tala stated.

"I'll walk you back," I offered, slipping something into my pocket from the side table.

"Thanks Elisa."

"Eh, no problem."

We walked out and I closed the door behind us. As we walked to the Abbey, I reached into my pocket and felt the pocket knife that I had just put there, I had some unfinished business to take care of tonight...

Me:Yup, that's that...

Elisa: Heh heh heh.. some bitch gon' die

Me: I never said that. If I know you, you wouldn't be able to do it anyway. No matter how Ninja you are!

Tala: Who is this other person that you would date over me?

Me:smirks: I'm not telling. I am leaving it up to my lovely readers to guess who they think it is and voice their opinions. I already have it planned out. But maybe someone could change my mind with a good reason.

Elisa: Read and review, listen to her. You know the drill by now.

Max:Wow... I don't have anything random to say...
