"I'm not fucking around. I think I'm coming out. All the deceivers and cheaters, I think we got a bleed right now"
-Green Day "Horseshoes and Handgrenades"
"JAMES!" Choir yelled listened intently for a few seconds to give James the opportunity to call back. When James didn't she began to run again. It felt like she had been running forever looking for James. She blindly ran across the park not knowing which direction she was going. She felt the ground beneath her descend and she knew she was coming towards the park area. Choir could make out small street lights which barely gave off light into the park. She could see some of the dark shapes of the play ground. Her heart than began to race as she heard James voice. He was struggling with someone as she could make out "Get off me!"
Choir began to walk slowly trying to follow James cries. She could feel her body shaking a little bit. When she came to the merry go round she stopped dead in her tracks. Two dark figures were on the ground. She could see Jessie straddled over James, trying to cover her mouth. "Get off me, Jessie!"
Choir then ran at them and threw herself at Jessie. They went rolling and James scrambled to his feet. Jessie swore under his breath.
"Choir!" James panicked.
Choir hurried to her feet. "James, run!" She ordered.
She stepped over Jessie. "No you don't," Jessie said and he grabbed her ankle. She fell face first to the ground. Jessie got to his feet before James could go to her aid and he punched James across the face. James stumbled back a bit. He touched his lip where blood was being drawn from the split. Jessie kicked him in the stomach and James hit the ground. Jessie began to kick James relentlessly in the stomach. Choir then jumped on his back wrapping her arms tightly around his throat. He pulled at her tight choke hold and broke free. She fell back and onto the ground. Jessie turned around and looked down at her. He grabbed her by the hair.
Choir screamed. He dragged her over to the merry go round and bashed her head twice against the hard metal. "Leave her alone!" James groaned from behind them. "It's not her you want!"
"Oh on the contrary, James. I want the both of you. Isn't that right Choir?" He asked her smiling. She was almost knocked out. He stroked her hair. "You should have gotten that head injury looked at," He teased.
"Go to hell," Choir retorted. Jessie smiled sadistically. He climbed on the merry go around to get on her. Choir began to fight back but he grabbed her wrist and pinned them over her head. "Get off me! Kendall!" She screamed for the one she loved. Jessie then pulled her by the hair, picked her head up, and banged it against the metal once again. Then one more time. She laid motionless underneath him.
"I told you that you were going to get what was coming to you, princess," he said searching her body with his eyes. He unzipped her white coat and pulled it off her. He bit his lip as he gazed hungrily at her chest. "Now I know why Kendall and James are fixated with you," He then looked back as he heard foot steps behind him but James was too quick. "AHHH!" Jessie yelled as he was pulled of her by his hair.
"How do you like getting pulled by your hair, bitch?" James growled. He punched Jessie in the face who collapsed on the ground motionless. James looked to Choir who was also passed out. He walked over to her.
"Choir..." he trailed off as he leaned over her. She remained still. He looked behind him at Jessie to make sure he was still there. When he looked back to Choir he tapped her cheek lightly with his hand. When she didn't wake he exhaled sharply. "Let's get you out of here," he said to her.
When he went to scoop her up he let her go because his head was pulled back and he howled in pain. Jessie had him by the hair. Choir's head hit the metal again and she rolled over in pain. "I don't know, James! You tell me!" Jessie said in James ear.
He threw James down into the snow and kicked him in the stomach. James bucked forward in response. Jessie fell to his knees beside James and turned him over on his back. He grabbed his brown hair and kept a painful hold on it. "See what I don't get is that you're trying to help a girl who loves another guy. A girl who doesn't give a damn about you. I mean if she did she would be with you right? But nope," He laughed and squeezed James lips together. "She's too busy getting fucked by your best friend. He's got his dick in her. He's making her scream. He's holding her close to him at night. " Jessie laughed for a second. He let go of his face "All she does is use you," he paused. "Another thing I don't get is why she chose Kendall when she could have..." he trailed off and ran a hand down James chest to his belt buckle. Jessie smiled. "...you," and he grabbed where James dick was. James then spit in his face. Jessie was infuriated as he wiped the saliva away from his eye. James tried to take the chance to get Jessie off of him but Jessie kneed him in the balls.
"Stop it!" Choir cried. Jessie looked to see Choir trying to get to her feet but she fell on her hands and knees.
"What? Now you care about him?" Jessie asked.
"I've always cared!" Choir sobbed.
"Oh yeah of course you have," Jessie said and punched James in the face.
"Stop it!" Choir yelled again. Jessie punched him in the face. "God, just stop it!" she screamed. Jessie ignored her cries and punched James in the face again. Choir held a hand to her forehead and she broke down in tears. "just...just stop. I love him just stop...you're going to kill him."
James was almost dead on the floor when Jessie stopped. James fought to keep his eyes open. Jessie ran a hand across James cheek. He lowered his face to James. "You hear that? I think Miss California realizes she picked the wrong BTR member," Jessie kissed James cheek "Too bad you're mine," he said in his ear and then got to his feet. He walked over to a sobbing Choir who was sitting up against the merry go around.
Jessie bent down and ran a hand down her hair. "For some reason I just don't believe you. I mean I know I can be a tad mean to James but that's how I flirt. You toy with his emotions, send him mix messages, that's just cruel. Much, much worse than what I do to him. So, do you love James?" he asked. Choir shuddered and she sobbed even harder.
He pulled her hair again. "Ah!" left her lips.
"I just asked you something,"
"Are you deaf?" Choir asked.
"I could kill you right now and you have the nerve to spat your bitchy attitude at me?"
"Fuck you," Choir said. Jessie held a finger to her face. His mouth opened to say something but he closed it and smiled.
He got up and went back over to James. "Experiment time," he clapped his hands together. Choir gulped. And with one swing he kicked James in the stomach again. James cried in pain this time and rolled on his side grabbing the other side that was kicked with Jessie's brown boot.
"NO!" Choir screamed. "Kendall! Where are you!" her screams ran through the night sky. Jessie laughed.
"Now say it," Jessie said. He kicked James yet again in the rib cage. "Say: I love James," Jessie said.
"You sick son of a bitch!"
"Nope," Jessie said and kicked James again.
"ALL RIGHT!" Choir screamed at him. Jessie stood still. "I love him. I love James. I've loved him since the day I met him," James was looking at her. His face was badly beaten. But she could still see the magnificent twinkle in his eyes. It teared her up inside to see him in this state. "You mean everything to me. I couldn't ever imagine not having you in my life. I realized that the day you were there for me when my father was admitted to the hospital. When you kissed me I just knew I could always count on you," she divulged with profound sincerity.
After a pause she punched the ground. "God, what is wrong with you!" she gritted through her teeth. Jessie smirked.
He kicked James one more time but this time it was in the head. Just like that he was out cold. Choir screamed and got to her feet. She ran at Jessie but he grabbed her and lifted her over his shoulder.
"You just love pissing me off," He muttered and brought her back over to the merry-go-round. "Let me go!" Choir clawed at his back. He dropped her on the ride and got on top of her. "No- stop!" He pressed all his weight on her to stop her from squirming then pinned her arms back over her head. She couldn't scream anymore as her throat was hoarse from the other times. She felt the button on her jeans being undone and then heard the sound of the zipper being pulled down. "Don't-" she protested. Suddenly a loud ding rang through the sky and Jessie collapsed on her. Choir pushed him off her and sat up to see Kendall standing before her with a shovel tightly clutched in his hands. His expression was blank but terror was evident in his eyes. He was badly beaten as well. Like her and James, he was also missing his coat, his hair was every where, his clothes dirty and ripped at the collar, his lip was split at the bottom and top right corner, and had a gash on his throat. Kendall dropped the shovel. Choir was shaking as she ran her hands through her hair and began to rock back and forth. Choir didn't look at him though. She kept her eyes locked on James as tears spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks.
