Chapter 14: Taking Over
"This is a disaster! Our star of the play is injured! And without our star we can't do a play!" Steven said in a small panic. Jamie sat in a chair with crutches next to him looking down while everyone was murmuring to one another about what to do except for Kevin who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed smiling.
"Surely there must be someone who can take over the role of Jack... Right...?" Lavanya asked then Sour Cream looked around to see no one volunteering. Sour Cream then stepped forward and everyone looked at him.
"I'll do it!" He said then Steven smiled and Lavanya looked at him with a concern look.
"Are you sure you want to do this...?" Lavanya asked then Sour Cream nodded confidentially.
"This play means a lot to everyone... So I will do my best to make sure this play goes on!" Sour Cream said then Kevin softly gripped his arm and glared at Sour Cream.
"Are you sure this will work...?" Jamie asked as he and Steven were back stage while the others were taking a break before rehearsal starts.
"I'm one hundred percent certain this works. It never failed me before." Steven said as he licked his hand. He then pressed his wet hand on Jamie's broken leg and the mailman shivered at the sudden wetness on his leg.
"Well?" Steven asked then Jamie slowly sat up and moved his leg that was once broken.
"It's all better..." Jamie said then he and Steven smiled.
"Should we let them know you're okay...?" Steven asked then Jamie shook his head.
"No."
"But- -what about the play? Don't you want to play Jack?" Steven asked.
"As much as I want to, I think Sour Cream might actually make this play succeed." Jamie said as he and Steven peeked to see Lavanya and Sour Cream talking as they were looking at the script.
"So for now, this will be our secret." Jamie said then Steven nodded.
After practicing and rehearsing the sun was about to set, as everyone began to head home.
"Are you sure you don't wanna rehearse at my place...?" Lavanya asked then Sour Cream rubbed his neck.
"As much as I want you, I'm not sure you can teach me Jack's roles... It's best for me to have Jamie teach me the roles so that I can memorize the lines. But... Will you be okay with you-know-who...?" Sour Cream asked then Lavanya looked down then she nodded.
"Yeah... I'll be okay." Lavanya said with a gentle smile. As Sour Cream left with Jamie, Lavanya sighed softly until she felt an arm wrapped around her shoulders.
"Guess it's just you and me tonight, baby." Kevin said then Lavanya slapped his hand away and started walking to her house while Kevin followed her. When Lavanya and Kevin arrived at her house Lavanya unlocked the door and the moment she stepped into her house, Kevin slammed the door shut and pinned Lavanya to door surprising the blonde girl.
"L-let me go, Kevin..." She said feeling uneasy but she still kept her glowering gaze at her ex-boyfriend. Kevin blinked then smiled, gently stroking under her chin.
"C'mon babe... Don't you remember the good old days, when we were happy...? When you were happy...?" Kevin asked as his coy look became a glare sending shivers down Lavanya's spine. Kevin slowly lowered his face and moved closer towards Lavanya's face; like a animal ready to eat its prey. Lavanya closed her eyes, waiting for what's to come when she suddenly heard Kevin yell and Momo barking. She opened her eyes and saw Kevin grab Momo and was about to throw the chinchilla but Lavanya grabbed the chinchilla before he could do so and dashed to her room, slamming the door and locking it.
"Are you okay, Momo?!" Lavanya asked then the chinchilla looked at her and nuzzles against her cheek making the blonde girl feel at ease.
"Thank goodness... Thank you, Momo..." Lavanya said then she looked at the door, she was curious as to why Kevin didn't try to open her door or even break it down. In the living room Kevin looked at his face to see a light scratch on his cheek from when Momo attacked him. He looked at Lavanya's room then sighed softly as he laid on the couch deciding to go to sleep.
Late at night Kevin heard something; a soft creak. Sitting up, he looked around and saw Lavanya's room was open but also the front door as well.
"Lavanya?!" He called as he went outside and went to go look for her. Lavanya was walking, heading towards the cliff. Her eyes were glassy; in a daze as she got closer to the edge.
"LAVANYA!" Kevin yelled but it was too late, he saw Lavanya fell off the cliff into the ocean.
It's... Cold... Lavanya thought as she slowly opened her eyes to see a silhouette then she felt unconscious.
