Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I went camping and didn't have time to write. I really liked writing this chapter, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I still don't own "JATP", but you guys seriously need to watch it!
Julie's POV
After being tortured by that girl Caleb brought in, I finally woke up. Only to realize that I was somewhere else now. It was similar to before, cold and dark, but this place had some type of eerie magical vibe to it.
Now over the fact that I've been relocated, I decide to check myself over for injuries. And I guess I was right before because my ribs looked like they had shifted, so I assume besides the pretty bad bruises that some are broken. I have multiple cuts on my arms and legs, but the thing that scares me most is that I can feel a pretty big gash on my forehead. But I don't need to worry because sooner or later the boys will come for me. Hopefully sooner.
I sit on a cot in the far corner of the room when Caleb enters my room again.
"We really have to stop meeting like this Julie. Now how are you feeling?"
"How am I feeling?" I'm so done with him. "I'm surprised you even care, I mean, you did send that psychotic assassin lady to hurt me! So I would say I'm feeling pretty crappy right about now. But no worries, when you suffer the consequences of what you've done, it will all have been worth it. And before you ask 'How do you know that?' I know that my boys will come for me."
And once again that evil smirk appeared on his face.
"Oh Julie. You never seize to amuse me. But I have some news that I regret… wait nope I'm perfectly fine telling you this. In fact how about I even show you?"
"Show me what?" I swear that I can see a glint of mischief in his eyes, but choose to ignore it for now.
"You'll see, now I'm going to show you what you missed while you were sleeping. Okay? It'll feel weird, and you'll see things, but you won't be seen or heard by the people in this memory. Shall we start?"
I nod cautiously, preparing myself for whatever this monster is about to show me. Then Caleb approaches me, puts his hands against my temples, and I feel like I'm sucked into another dimension. Then I see them. Caleb, Reggie, Alex, and Luke.
My heart races at the sight of Luke… and my fellow bandmates, but then I remember that I'm not really there.
"I warned you boys that if you came here that your precious Julie would end up dead." Past Caleb told the three phantoms.
"And we don't care! We want Julie back, and we're aren't leaving without her." Reggie shouted from across the room.
I look and see Caleb from the present and he looks back at me and gives me that awful smile of his, and I can tell that this isn't going to end well.
"If you say so, but I must warn you. If this is what you choose, you won't make it out and all three of you will be three more victims of my cruelty." Caleb spat back.
Alex, Reggie, and Luke seemed determined on getting me back, and then it hit me. If they came for me, where are they now?
All of a sudden I watched as Caleb from the past stood up and blasted all three boys with some purple smoke blast thing, and then they collapsed. 'No!' I internally screamed because they couldn't hear me. I burst into tears, and out of the corner of my eye saw present day Caleb looking pretty pleased with himself. Then I watch as Alex and Reggie are enveloped by purple smoke once more and disappear from existence.
I'm about to turn around, but I spot past Caleb making his way towards a struggling Luke. And against my better judgement, I decide to listen in on what he has to say.
"Was it worth it? Fighting for a girl who you could never have, and never loved you. Because of her, both of your best friends are eternally erased, and in a matter of minutes you will join them."
Those words brought another fit of hysterical sobs from me. Because I realized Caleb was right. They came to save me, and now they were gone. It was as if I practically killed them myself. No. I did kill them, and there was no one else to blame but me.
Before I had the chance to hear what Luke had to say, I turned to my Caleb, begging with my eyes to leave, and it seems that he understood for we were back in the room we had been before we were transported into what he called a memory.
"I know that it's painful Julie. To lose more people that you cared about, but now you can give me what I want without hurting them, and I won't have to hurt you either. I'll leave you to it then."
It was true, but I just watched my friends die. I felt that I needed to suffer because it was because of me that they were truly gone now.
I sighed, sat back down on the cot, and made a pact to myself that I would never say a word until my punishment was deemed fulfilled. But who knows? I felt broken, I didn't plan on doing anything, anytime soon. With that, I silently cried myself to sleep.
Caleb's POV
"Boss? The girl's awake. Just wanted to let you know. " I saw one of my many workers pop their heads in.
"Okay. Thank you for notifying me."
I had created a plan for Julie while she was knocked out. I had to admit, the girl had grit, and I admired that. But I needed her broken, and there was only one way to do that.
I walked through one of the walls to Julie's new room, and she immediately locked eyes on me.
She looked pretty banged up. Good. She's broken physically, now time for mentally.
"We really have to stop meeting like this Julie. Now how are you feeling?" I asked, breaking the almost visible tension in the room.
She then goes on a little rant about how her boys will come and save her, so I decided that it's time to show her.
I smirk and then tell her that I have something to show her. And before I know it, it is time for me to put the picture in her head.
We entered the little hallucination, where she watches her beloved band mates perish, even though they are perfectly fine at the moment.
From the look on her face when she turns to me, I can tell that my plan had worked. Julie was broken.
Just to make sure she stays broken, I figure why not deepen the wound. "I know that it's painful Julie. To lose more people that you cared about. But now you can give me what I want without hurting them, and I won't have to hurt you either. I'll leave you to it then."
With the plan set in motion, I don't have to be worried about the question I keep getting about how maybe I'm not the most powerful anymore. Or how there might be another way without my help. Just because of the stupid boy band! But now I can relax, because as long as they don't have Julie, and she doesn't have them, they're all nothing.
Dun Dun Dun!
I know this chapter didn't have any of the boys POVs, but the chapter seemed like it needed to end, so I should have something with Luke's POV up soon. I hate Caleb so much, don't you guys? Well anyways, please leave a review because I love reading them, and if you have ideas PLEASE TELL ME BECAUSE IT MAKES WRITING SO MUCH EASIER.
With that said, thanks for reading! And next chapter should be up by the end of the week (hopefully tomorrow)
