Chapter 20: "Never!"

Although Cody told Jasmine not to hang out with Shannon, she still did. How could she just stay away from him? They were best friends. Jasmine was with her younger sibs, Amy and AJ.

"I'm going over to Shannon's, okay?"

"But Cody said not to," Amy reminded her.

"Just because he's my boyfriend doesn't mean he controls what I do or who I hang out with."

"He has his reasons," said AJ.

"Then why doesn't he tell me them?"

"Jazz!"

Jazz was so stubborn sometimes.

"Shannon's my friend. If Cody has a problem with that, he has to deal with it."

After finishing that sentence, she walked away and went to Shannon's dressing room. She knocked on his door.

"Oh, hey Jazz! What's up?"

"Nothing much."

She entered his room.

"Is Cody giving you trouble?"

"No, and speaking of Cody, is your cheek okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for asking."

"I don't understand. Why would he do something like that?"

"Who knows?"

"He's probably jealous that you and I dated before. Yeah, that's it. Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing, leaving you and dating Cody."

"I miss us."

"Me too."

Meanwhile Cody was searching for Jasmine. Where was she? He decided to check her dressing room. Cody opened the door, and found AJ and Amy.

"Hey, man," AJ greeted Cody.

"Have you guys seen Jasmine?"

"Yep. She was here a couple minutes ago," Amy said.

"Where did she go?"

"Uh…well…" AJ stuttered.

"She went to Shannon's, didn't she?"

"No?"

"I told her not to."

"What's wrong with her hanging out with Shannon?" questioned AJ.

"He's the one who knocked me out a couple weeks ago!"

"Really?! Why would he do that?" asked Amy.

"He said that he doesn't like me because I'm with Jasmine. Imagine what he could do to her!"

"Then why are we still here?! Let's move people!"

They ran as fast as they could to Shannon's dressing room. They busted the door open and found Shannon and Jasmine kissing.

"Get away from her!" yelled Cody.

Cody and AJ charged at Shannon and beat him to a pulp. Amy pulled her older sister away from the commotion. Shannon was bleeding.

"Never put your hands on my sister. You got that punk? Never!" screeched AJ.

"Let's get out of here."
