Hey you guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I was really caught up on end of the quarter grades! So sorry...
Anyway! Here is your chapter that you have been waiting for, some of you since the beginning of the story... ;)
Recap!
"I was wondering if you guys would like to join our band."
"What?" every occupant in the room said, except for me.
Eighteen
MPOV
I sat there on the couch in Fang's music room gawking like a fool. Gosh I'm so unladylike. Iggy literally reached over and snap my mouth shut for me. Dylan was the first to respond though, as he stood up and clamped down a hand on Fang's shoulder.
"I thought you'd never ask!" he was now the one smiling like a fool. Iggy stood up after him and also agreed, but I was at an impasse. I realized that if I did this that I would severely get beaten by Lissa since I would have to perform at the talent contest, and it was my boyfriend's band! I sat there for what must have been hours literally tearing my Fucking brain apart with the pro's and con's of making this decision.
Finally Fang leaned over to me and started to whisper into my ear.
"Hey, I know that this could get you into a lot of trouble with Lissa and you might not be let out of the house for a while, but I won't let anything happen to you. I won't let them lock you up because you are an amazing musician." I could feel his warm breath against my skin, sending warm shivers across my neck.
"Alright," I finally agreed, "I'll join you guys..." I could feel my voice drop off at the end as I imagined the beating I would get from Lissa. I don't think the other boys noticed thought since they were whooping and giving each other high-fives.
I was walking home about an hour later looking over the song sheets in my hand. The songs were relatively easy for an experienced guitarist like me, but if you were to just pick them up with no experience then you would probably fail miserably at them.
When I got into the house I went straight up to my dusty room. A couple weeks ago I had gotten pieces of blood red fabric that now draped the angled ceiling and made the room have more of a tent feel. I slid the music into a box under my bed and threw my jacket over my bed post. I was picking up my laptop and heading over to my bed when I heard that dreaded sound from the hallway again... Lissa was coming and I didn't have enough time to escape through the hidden door in the next room over.
Instantly I threw my computer down on my bed and hid it under my pillows. Then I hid my iPod and my song book under the bed and as I stood up the door burst open to reveal not only Lissa but Victoria as well.
They sure as hell were not happy.
"Explain this." Victoria said holding up a piece of paper. What was on it shocked me.
It was a picture of me and Fang from this afternoon when I went over to his house. More specificity I was standing on his front step and Fang was just breaking away from the kiss he had planted on my lips.
Damn, I'm Fucking Screwed.
So I'm going to be a smart ass.
"That is obviously a really pretty girl that has one damn fine scene of fashion who just so happens to live in this house, and stole the guy she was going after." I smirked at the last part. Lissa's eyes had gone wide at it and it made her look like the stupid stupid little bitchy monkey she was.
Lissa's face went really red and I swear I saw steam coming out of her ears.
"You are so DEAD!"
Lissa jumped on me throwing me to the ground. I hit the ground and the air whooshed out of me. Victoria stood in the background staring at her daughter witnessing the beatings that she gave me for the first time. Of course this one had been the worse yet.
First Lissa grabbed my hair and pulled me up by it to slam my face onto the bed siding. Twice. She then proceeded to kick the living shit out of me, and then the knife. She decided to write on me... again... but this time it was worse.
The shearing pain of the words was running up and down my arms, legs, and torso. The pain ebbed there when Lissa finally stood and turned to her mother.
"How long have you been doing this?" Victoria asked with an absolutely impassive face about her.
"Months now... ever since Nick came to our school."
Victoria looked at me laying on the floor bleeding out slowly.
"You should have started sooner."
About three hours later Gazzy and Angel found me in my room almost uncontentious on the floor. They took to my wounds, cleaning them and bandaging them. The next day I did not go to school because of the severe amount of blood loss. Angel and Gazzy would take turns watching me giving me the things I needed, when I needed them.
That whole time my mind raced with the thoughts of my life and how it was going so downhill.
Maybe I shouldn't have joined Wildfire. Maybe I should have stayed home and out of the way.
And yet the only things that were actual lights in my world were Fang, Gazzy and Angel.
How could I let that go?
soo... I hope you liked that chapter... even thought it sucked... anyway!
R&R and you'll see the next chapter sooner than this one since I am no longer grounded!
Fly on,
