The Warning:
With the end of the week approaching and things seeming to be going well, the boys were able to get the girls to not ask as many questions, especially since they answered their main ones. Plus they told them not to be too concerned about the ones they wouldn't answer as it was for their safety, seeing as they didn't need to know everything. The boys figured they would have other questions as time progressed, and they would handle them as they came along. Brianna didn't know if she liked that thought process, however she couldn't really argue with it for now, and just had to accept it.
As the school day ended that Friday, Brianna and Kick received an interesting thought, which they weren't expecting. They asked if Scarlet and Teena, could handle being with the girls for a bit, while the two of them and Gunther dealt with the matter. The girls wanted to ask about the matter, however, the look the three had, spoke volumes, which meant they would share later. Teena and Scarlet were more than happy to hang with Jackie and Kendall for a while, as Kick, his sister and Gunther did what they needed to do.
When everyone was out of the hallways of the school and the school seemed to be cleared, the three met with some individuals they never thought they meet with. Kick and Gunther, especially, unhappy about it.
"You're lucky I'm giving you this time." Kick folded his arms.
"I just want to talk." The person looked down. "My thoughts are completely readable, you can see that."
"We can." Brianna noticed. "Surprised you're allowing Debbie to let that happen." She stated.
"Is Gordie's mind as readable?" Gunther glared at the boy, who was a bit behind Ronaldo, the Dipazzi twins even further behind, while Debbie was just leaning against some lockers way in the back of the hall.
"Oh chill Gunther." Gordie had a small look at him. "Not like I knew she was taken." He defended. "Besides she doesn't really fit your…"
"Shut it Gordie, before I seriously kick your ass." Gunther was about to move, but Brianna held up her hand. Gunther just narrowed his eyes at him. Gordie chuckled.
"Damn, you really do like her." He commented. "Although to be fair, wouldn't be the first time we had conversations like this, considering…"
"Stay away from her." Gunther threatened, not wanting him to continue as he narrowed his eyes further.
"Don't worry, I won't touch her." Gordie held up his hands, defensively. "Why do you think we're here?" He pointed at himself and Ronaldo.
"You want us to answer that honestly?" Brianna responded.
"You sided with London." Kick reminded. "Allowing them to control you both so easily."
"No one controls Gordie Gibble, damnit!" Gordie argued. The three quirked an eyebrow with that. "I was just doing what I wanted and following rules." They all rolled their eyes with that.
"Point is…" Ronaldo came in. "I…was a coward okay." He told them. "You were right." He confessed. "I didn't stand up for Kendall, and I sure as hell didn't protect her or….save her from anything." He looked down. "I was a fucking coward and let others control me, telling me how to be…how to live…and everything….I was just a coward. And I regret it. I regret everything." He continued. "And I can't ever make up for it." Brianna and Kick glanced at him. "But you have to know, they won't stop." He warned. "They want the rules followed. They think she is still unaware and until I do something, or Gordie because of his stupid little stunt…" He glanced back at him with that, which got Gunther to fold his arms with that. "They won't stop." He informed. "They think the girls are still under our….our claim…." He mentioned. "But I think….we all know that's not true." He looked at them. "And when they find out the truth…. they're….going to make you follow the rules." Ronaldo continued to warn. "They're going to give you the ultimatum that either you…."
"We know the rules Ronaldo." Kick interrupted.
"Then you know they're under your claim." He said. "And that you have to protect them."
"We've been protecting them." Gunther reminded. Ronaldo looked down.
"You're right about that." He agreed. He let out a breath, before glancing at Kick. "I was a coward Kick and couldn't save or protect her." He started. "And her father was…well you know. And I couldn't save her from him. I couldn't do anything. And I hate that." His voice was getting quiet, but still loud enough. Debbie glanced at him, with all of this. "But you…you saved her. You've always been there for her. You have been the only one constant for her. The only one, I know she's looked up to. And I envied that." He confessed. "The only one she's really loved. And I knew that…" He added. "I never wanted to hurt her. Not hurt like her father. I never wanted to be like him. I never wanted her to hate me." He admitted. "I thought….maybe….maybe we all could be friends, which is what she wanted…" He told them. "But I let ego, my cowardice and my stupidity get in the way, and ruined any chance of that."
Kick and the others just listened. 'Kick…' Brianna gave him a small glance with the thought. 'I know…' He breathed out, knowing everything Ronaldo was saying was the truth because of his thoughts and memories. 'He really cared about her… even their friendship…' he mentioned. Gunther glanced at them with those shared thoughts.
"I just….just don't want you to hurt her like we did." Ronaldo breathed. "That's all I ask. She's been through enough and deserves to be happy now."
"I won't." Kick assured. "I love her and want to protect her." He commented. "I never want to hurt her and want to keep her safe." Ronaldo nodded at that.
"So what does this mean for you idiots?" Gunther wondered as he shot another look at Gordie, who got an annoyed expression.
"I already said I'm not going to go near Jackie, jeez." He rolled his eyes. "So possessive." He retorted.
"Well with the way you were flirting with her, practically harassing her, leaving notes, chocolates, flowers, being that you obviously couldn't take no, yeah I have a bit of an issue with you…" Gunther tapped his fingers against his arm.
"Like I said, she was one of my types, would have been interesting to…" Gordie shrugged.
"Finish that sentence and I swear…" Gunther had a hard look at him.
"I didn't realize you were the mind reader." Gordie snickered.
"I don't have to be, to know what you were thinking." Gunther countered. Gordie rolled his eyes again.
"Either way, we're just giving you this warning to be wary of London, if you're not already." Gordie brought up. "Being that you two are with them and care a lot about the girls."
"Anything else?" Brianna inquired. "Being that yes we are very much aware of what the student's from London are doing."
"We also want you two to know we won't interfere anymore." Ronaldo mentioned. "I'm tired of being a coward. And even if she'll hate me forever, at least I can do this." He spoke.
"Plus, I'm kinda getting tired of the London students' bullshit." Gordie shrugged.
"Why doesn't that surprise us?" Gunther rolled his eyes.
"Hey be lucky were not ratting you both out either, with your relationships." Gordie pointed. The boys glared at him with that.
"Not that we would." Ronaldo also gave Gordie a look. "We'll just be keeping it a secret, and keeping to ourselves as we'll only hang out with each other and our small crew." He glanced back, before looking at Kick and them.
"Right…" Gordie just sighed. "Anyway, just here to warn you all, tell you I'm leaving your girl alone and….I think that's it…although if Jackie…." Gordie started to say.
"Gordie just shut up." Ronaldo told him, exhausted with him.
"Fine." Gordie looked away, while Gunther just glared.
"Good luck." Ronaldo told them, as he and Gordie left, the twins following after them. Debbie did a final look at the three before also following them out.
"What do you two think?" Brianna asked. "They were serious about all of it." She commented. "Ronaldo especially." Kick let out a breath.
"I don't know yet…." Kick thought about it. "But for now, all we can do is focus on the threats at hand." He said. "Which Clara and them seem to be one of them." Gunther nodding at that statement.
"Although, Gordie is still on my list." Gunther added as they all left. Brianna having a small giggle with that, as they started to head back home.
