Chapter 6: Where loyalties lie

The room was dark except the strobe lights and colorful lights dancing around the walls and floor. The tables each had their little votives shaped like lamps lit by a small candle. The music bumped through the room. The dance floor looked like a sea of people. Axelle bopped around as usual in the DJ booth. She looked up, out over the crowd and caught a glimpse of someone and did a double take. He was gone. She brushed it off as just being a little paranoid and went back to what she was doing. Then it happened again. She took a break and jumped down off the DJ stand. She relieved Dana at the bar. She kept seing glimpses of him all night. She had to get out of there. She found Dana and told her that she needed som air. She ran out of the building. She leaned up against a wall, sliding down until she sat with her knees to her chest and her head in her hands.

Chase saw her run out of the building and debated whether to go see what was wrong. He walked toward the door and against everything he had been taught he walked out.

Axelle heard the door creak open and jumped up ready to hit whoever it was to some areound the corner. Footsteps came closer and just as she was about to strike Chase appeared.

"Oh, it's just you." She sighed sliding back to the ground.

"Yea I saw you run out. Whats wrong?" He asked sitting next to her. This was something nes. Chase was inquiring about her problems. Sure they had made an effort to be nice and get along but they never really got in each other's problems.

"Just needed some air. I'm fine." She said confused as to why he was asking.

"It had to be more than that to get you outta there. I can feel it Axelle." He said sounding actually rather concerned.

"I think I saw Dad in there." She sighed looking away and rolling her eyes.

"We have to toell Pierce! We have a restraining order against him." Chase said wide eyed. He seemed geuinely scared for her. It was a comfort. Her brother gave a damn about her.

"No Chase. Pierce doesn't need to know. NO one needs to know. I shouldn't have even told you. It's fine I was probably just seeing things. Don't worry about it kid." She said getting up and dusting herself off. She helpped Chase up.

"But he's dangerous and he could—"

"Chase, I love that you're suddenly concerned about me, but I'm okay and I need you to promise you won't tell anyone." She said sternly.

"But.." He started but he saw the determination in her eyes and knew he wasn't gonna win. "Okay, I promise." He replied sighing with a defeated tone.

"Thanks Chase. Now come on you have a girlfriend to get back to." She said turning to walk back in. Chase put an arm around her shoulders as they walked in together. They thought they hadn't been seen, but Logan caught it out of the corner of his eye. He found it suspicious, but decided to leave it for later.

Axelle returned to the bar for the rest of the night. She wanted to lay low. She didn't want anyone else to find out. She knew the risk she was taking. She just didn't want anyone to get hurt.

xXx Closing xXx

Everyone was leaving and Axelle still sat behind the bar. Chase came sprinting up.

"Ax come on I'll walk ya back." He said leaning against the bar.

"No Chase you go with Zoey. I'll be fine. I don't want this to get out. Go Chase." She said with a smile. Chase knew he wouldn't win and that Logan woult probably stay with her so he left.

She watched the people pour out. Pierce was next to come over.

"This place is amazing. I'm proud of you." He said. "Hey Kidd come on. I'll walk ya back to your room."

"Thanks but I've got a lot more things to go around here before I leave. You go to the hotel. You must be tired and you have that meeting early tomorrow." She replied with the same sweet smile she used on Chase.

"Okay I'll be back befor I leave to say goodbye. I love ya kidd." He said reaching over the bar to hug her. He kissed her forehead and left. She bent down watching the wall which was a mirror as she gathered her cleaning supplies. She saw Logan come up. She popped up with her cleaning gear and puffed the hair out of her face.

"Hey um…." He said looking anxiously back at some blonde at the door.

"Just go Logan." She said shaking her head with a chuckle.

"THANK YOU!" He exclaimed running away.

She began to clean up the club. Music played and calmed her nerves. She decided to stay for awhile for fear of listening to the messages on her phone.

Meanwhile in Chase, Michael, and Logan's dorm Chase was pacing worried about Axelle. He's called her room 3 times, the club 4, and her cell 2. The pacing and calling started to make Logan and Michael nervous. Logan had gotten in 20 minutes ago and he was already annoyed while Michael had watched this for an hour. Chase had really been pacing for 2 hours though. He grabbed a jacket.

"I'll be back I'm gonna go check if she's home." Chase said grabbing Logan's keys of the dresser.

"I thought you walked Zoey back." Michael said confused.

"I did. I wasn't talking about her." Chase said not wanting to explain. "I'm going to check on Axelle." Logan and Michael had confused expressions.

"What's wrong?" Logan asked wide eyed.

"Nothing." Chase muttered putting a hand on the door knob.

"No, you never get this worried ove Ax. Hell you never get worried about her. This must be something big." Logan replied standing.

"I promised her Logan." Chase said leaving.

It took him about 5 minutes to get there. He used Logan's key to let himself in after knocking a few times with no response. She was nowhere in the room. He saw the flashing messages light and pressed the play button thinking maybe there would be a clue there.

"First message. Received today at 12:01 A.M.- Hello my little Army Whore. I hope you like my little visit tonight. It was just a preview. I'll be back with more avengence. Don't tell Chase or Pierce of they'll suffer the consequences. Don't worry it will all be over soon. Dear old dad. – End Message. If you would like to…" Chase stopped it in horror. He had to tell Pierce, but first he needed to find his sister. He ran as fast as he could to the club ans began to band on the door.

Axelle jumped with the first loud rap. She quicly concealed herself in the shadows. She crept to the door without a sound. The in realizing it was Chase she opened the doors and came into the light. Chase hugged her tightly.

"Hey Chase, Whats up?" She asked shocked but hugging him back.

"You're okay." He sighed in relief with a smile plastered to his face.

"Oh god Chase. You listened to them didn't you?" She said noticing Logan's keys in Chase's hand.

"Just the one form today. Dad was here. He said he'd be back but worse and not to tell Pierce or me. He said that we'd suffer the consequences." Chas said talking 100 miles a minute. "We need to call Pierce."

"NO! Did you hear what he said! He'll kill you both. It's bad enough you know." She said biting her fingernails. "You didn't tell anyone else did you?"

"No Logan asked what was wrong and I told him I promised." Chase said looking at the floor.

"Okay lets go to bed I'm gonna lock up now." Shes said putting her cleaning supplies away.

"I'm coming back with you. We need to work this out. Plus I won't be able to sleep worrying about it all night." Chase said.

"Fine. Just to ease your conscience and to work some plan for when her comes back." She said reappearing with keys in hand. They left and Axelle locked up. The left toward the girls dorm for a night of planning and conieving.
