I don't own anything except Jacky, Emily, Alice., Drake, Luka, Lilly-Anna and the plot.
Chapter 8
Last time:
"Emily, look at me. It's going to be okay about it I promise you."
"Mai I'm scared. The ghost is trying to-"
"I know Emily. Come on, remember our secret, and please understand that everything will be okay. Come on."
Emily got up but the ghost pushed her down and another one grabbed a knife and walked closer to her. Mai decided to walk closer to her and fight against the ghost. When Mai grabbed Emily and she turned around and pushed Emily closer to everyone else. Then the ghost knocked her against the wall and Mai passed out.
Now:
Mai woke up but when she did she saw Gene. He looked at Mai and said, "Mai I know you told me to let it rest. But I just can't. Oliver tore himself up after he found out that you had disappeared. No one could find you. Till Monk was that the club which you already knew that. You and Oliver need to sort out your feelings because you both are driving me insane. But on another note, there are more than three ghost in this house. The one who acted up after something bad had happened was the same one who was haunting this place? Drake has a brother and it has something to do with him and also Lilly-Anna's son. You need to call them in."
Mai knew what he was say was true. But she couldn't bring herself to call them in or to even look at them.
"I know Gene. I know what these spirits wants and who."
Gene looked at Mai and said, "They want you Mai. You've seen the dreams of them, how they died by the hand they loved and in returned they killed the one who had killed them and also-"
"I know this Gene. They have been trying to kill me for a while now. Even before him. Yet his grandmother has been protecting me and lately I've been getting hurt and same with other people who used to work for Lilly-Anna."
Gene then showed Mai the spirits. They were all killed in different ways and they in returned killed somebody else. They were angry because they were betrayed by the one that they loved and at the same time they made a mistake. Then she saw something that she never seen before. Each person that had died were possessed by these spirits and then they were killed and some of these people were declared missing.
"It's time to wake up Mai."
When Mai woke up she noticed that she was in Lilly-Anna's room. Mai looked around to see if someone was in the room with her and when she noticed that Emily was there. Emily turned around to look at Mai and she said, "The scary guy carried you in here."
Mai looked at her and knew who she meant but she had to ask Emily who she meant.
"Emily who is the scary guy?"
"It's the one who is the CEO of SPR, the head guy. I think I hear the Monk guy calling him Nauri or something of the sort."
Mai just looked away from her. Mai thought that she got bored with her being quiet that Emily walked out of the room. Mai was alone in the room. She let her mind wonder to the thought of him carrying her. She didn't want to think about it at all. Mai's heart is broken, broken beyond repair, or so that's what she was thinking. Yet what Gene has said is the truth that she need to sit down and talk to Oliver and explain what she was feelings and what happened and listen to his side of the story, but Mai wasn't sure if she could talk to him because of the case. But ever since they had called a truce it's been a little strange between them.
Soon a knock came and Mai looked up from her thoughts and noticed that Oliver was there. He walked in and then she noticed that Lilly-Anna walked in behind him, she shut the door as Oliver set the tray down and pulled one of the chairs out for her sit and the he sat down in another chair.
"Mai, how are you feeling child?" Asked Lilly-Anna.
"I'm fine. How is Emily? I didn't get a chance to ask her?" said Mai as she watched Oliver writing something down in that damn book of his.
"Mai I need to know something, what happened to cause the spirits to attack Emily?"
Mai was quiet for a while. While she was quiet Lilly-Anna looked at her and realized something.
"They went after Emily to get to you, didn't they?" said Lilly-Anna.
"Yes they did. I know the reason behind it, it was because I should have died at the same time as he did." Mai said all in one breathe, the she looked away and said, "some of the spirits think its funny to possess people and use them for fun and they have the people they had possessed to kill each other. When they possess someone they make them do something where someone walks in on them and they its everyone for themselves. I'm sorry Lilly-Anna it's my fault."
Lilly-Anna looked at Mai and said, "No, these damn spirits have been messing with my family for generations and now they are messing around with staff and people who I consider family. I think it's time for you to talk to him about what happened and tell him the whole truth. Maybe not now. But after your show tonight. I know you're all busy with this, but Mai has work, mister."
Oliver looked at Lilly-Anna and said, "I know. I'll leave some of my people here while I, Monk, and Ayako take Mai to the club."
Just then Mai looked at the time and realized it's five p.m, she looked at Lilly-Anna and said, "Drake is going to be mad and same with Luka and Jacky, they are going to be pissed at me."
"No they won't because Drake told them that you had passed out. But you do need to leave and I know you found another song to sing. You better hurry to the club."
-Break- (At the Club)
It's two hours, Mai was getting ready while Luka sang Constellations by Cold Black and then he started to sing Wedding Dress by Taeyang. They were both good songs. Then it was going to be Luka, Mai and Jacky singing together. Mai was scared because this was going to be the first time that they would be sing as a trio.
"Mai, you'll be going up on stage in five." Said the manager.
"Okay." She said as she looked in the mirror.
"Oliver, I know you standing outside my door, we'll talk about everything after I'm done sing okay I need to do this. This is important to me. Okay."
Mai walked out of the dressing room and looked at Oliver, "I'll be fine as long as you can truly listen to you heart, and the words."
Mai walked on stage and said, "Hey everyone. Sorry I'm late. Well I guess Jacky and Luka had fun while I was gone. I guess they loved singing without me."
"Mai we can't have fun without you." Said Luka.
Mai looked at Luka and noticed that he red hair grew longer and his bangs covered his eyes as he was playing the drums for Jacky and then singing.
"Well okay then, let's start the songs then."
[Mai]
Right now
I wanna be the enemy
I hide
Empower our remedy
Step up
Get your game on
Get your pride back
Never back down, oh
[Luka)
And as I open my eyes
I see my shadow
Will I return like my self or parted atoms
[Jakcy]
I have the will inside my mind
(Inside my mind)
There is a voice I can't deny
[Chorus]
I break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within
[Mai]
Yeah, I rise so you can be a part of me
I hide as part of the machinery
I've stepped on the wires
Feeding the flames to burn higher-er
[Luka]
And as the darkness reveals
I see no reason
For me to reach for the cure
I'm my own demon
[Jacky]
I kept the secrets in my mind
There is a voice I can't deny
[Chorus]
I break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within
[Luka]
Face it down
I'm the spine in the flame
Just let it out of me
Break it out of the core
To help me breath
[Jacky]
I have the will inside my mind
There is a voice I can't deny
[Chorus]
I break with the past
Set the nexus free at last
As the future will be there to save us
Trapped in my skin
See the nexus in my dreams
But will you bury me within
Oliver walked over to the bar counter and listened to the last part of the song. He knew what Mai was walking about.
"Okay everyone now that's done, I'll be singing one last song to night while Jacky will finish singing and then the next group will be singing girls generation song the boys and so on. So Luka joined us tonight and now Jacky will be singing this last song with me till next time."
(So listen when you feel your heart skip a beat)
You show me hell in the most beautiful light, your lies disguised as alibis.
You know you're hell behind your beautiful eyes, a feeling I can't fight.
We're just a falling star, we're just a broken seed.
And when an ocean parts, will you wanna sink our dreams?
I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat.
Oliver looked into Mai's eyes as she was sing this song. Each world of this song hit him. Each word was how she felt no matter what had happened or so he was pretending to be with or dating.
(So listen when you feel your heart skip a beat)
You left me here without a breath or goodbye, you never even tried.
You saw me then I was so perfectly blind, a love I'll never find.
We're just a falling star, we're just a broken seed.
And when an ocean parts, will you wanna sink our dreams?
I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat.
You're just like drawing scars and leaving hope to bleed.
So if we fall apart, will I ever haunt your dreams?
I don't know who we are or what this means, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat.
(JAcky)
Yeah, you said you felt the same, but now who's to blame, you threw it all away.
Yeah, you said you felt the same, but then something changed,
(Mai) you threw it all away. [x2]
(Mai)
We're just a falling star, we're just a broken seed.
And when an ocean parts, will you wanna sink our dreams?
I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat.
(Jacky)
You're just like drawing scars and leaving hope to bleed.
(Mai)
So if we fall apart, will I ever haunt your dreams?
I don't know who we are or what this means, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat.
When Mai finished singing she walked back into the dressing room and closed the door. The song had gotten to her. She felt tears going down here cheek.
"Mai are you in there, Mai?" called Oliver's voice.
Mai was scared to open the door. But she knew that she had to because she needed to talk to him and let him talk. She walked over to the door and when she opened it Olive walked in. Mai closed and locked her door and turned to Oliver and said, "It's time that we talked about some things."
Oliver nodded and Mai began telling her story.
"When you asked me if it was you or Gene that I was in love with it killed me inside. I just lost the only person that I loved and then I lost everyone who I considered my family. When I got back to the cabin we were staying in, I pretended that you didn't hurt me. I just acted normal and no one noticed how I was acting. When you told us that SPR was going to be disbanded and that you were going back England. Then when you walked out the door John looked at Lin and asked when your flight would be, and Lin told him. Everyone then decided to see you off. I didn't go because I had other things to deal with. Then the day drifted into months and no one bothered to check –up on me. Then I noticed that my phone needed an up-grade. I went and had had mu number changed and erased everyone off my phone. Then the school year ended, and Yasuhara found me one day because I was looking for a job. He knew what school I went to and of course when the school had trips. That day I should have gone on the school trip but I didn't want to. I stayed home and decided to find a job. Yasuhara asked me how I was and I lied and told him that I was fine. Then I walked away because a classmate of him walked up to him. Then school started and I threw myself into my studies, found a job, and then I met Drake's nephew. He was kind and sweet. He tried to get my frozen heart to open back up, then I told him that I couldn't. He left for a job after I turned him down, and that was that last time that I saw him. Then the ghost started to attack me and then you can guess what happened from that."
Mai looked away from Oliver. She didn't want to see his reaction. But then he started to talk, "I know there is more to it than that. But I just wanted to tell you that I regret asking you that stupid question. I know we are at Truces right now, but I regret telling you how I truly felt because when you told you that you saw me and then realized I had a twin, I got mad because I thought you loved him and not me. When I returned home I closed off from everyone. When John called me and asked if I had heard from you because you were nowhere to found, they showed up at your school and they told Ayako that you didn't walk at graduation, but you decided to get right to college. No one had any information on you. Monk said that he had seen you working at a Club he used to perform at and had asked him how you were, he didn't say much. Back to when John said you were missing my heart stopped beating. I didn't know what that was until I saw you singing on stage that night and then tonight. I have come to realize that I do love you."
Mai froze when she hear Olive saying those words. She turned to look at him and said, "why now? Why now that I am broken that you decided to say those words to me."
