So, what do you think of the look of Lex? If you check my profile, then I´ve uploaded the link to the picture of "Lex" and there´s only a photo of David Clayton Rogers, that look like a character from another one of my stories, and I´ve got them saved in my computer, and I could just keep on looking at them forever.
I kept on staring into his eyes for I don´t know how long. He took a step forward, I did not move.
Neither Brian or Wyatt had handcuffs or anything, but there were to securities, by each of the doors to the choir room. Ready to act if any of the two men would try to hurt me. The glee- boys had also made a half- circle around and behind Brian and Wyatt. I also had Burt, Mr. Schue and Carole behind me. Neither Brian or Wyatt would be able to hurt me, or even trying, without getting fourteen men and teenage boys to push away. I wasn´t afraid, not at all.
"I found the photos you hid in the mattress," I said. "Do you know one thing? One of the photos showed that you had some side- effects from drinking, and you know what? It was shooted before I was born. You always said it was because of me you started drinking, but I guess you´ll have to admit… your lies did not hold all the way through," I took a step forward, my face was now just about a decimeter away from his. His eyes were black, his face red, out of anger, but I didn´t feel scared.
"I don´t regret anything."
"Says more about you than it does about me." After I said that, dad spat in my face. But I still did not move a muscle.
"Wow, now we´re being mature aren´t we," I said with an ironic tone in my voice. Then I wiped away the spit with the sleeve of my hoodie. I looked up, and walked over to the piano, where I lifted up Ned´s hutch. I walked over to the others with it, and let Marcie hold it.
"Brian, this is the New Directions, and that´s our mascot, his name´s Ned, and he´s mine. That´s my boyfriend, his name´s Tyler. Those two are my best friends," I nodded. "Their names are Hayley and Connor…. That´s Mr. Schuester, and if you don´t remember, he´s the one who found out about you abusing me. I love him too."
"I didn´t…"
"YES, you did. Those two are Burt and Carole, and during the two months I´ve lived at theirs, they´ve been more parents to me, than you or mum ever were." I was now back at standing in front of Mr. Schue, Burt and Carole. When Brian suddenly took a step forward, anger and hatred were burning in his eyes, and he lifted his hands, and took a jump forward.
"Oh no you don´t," both Burt and Mr. Schue jumped past me and pressed Brian backwards, also both Tyler and Liam had grabbed his shirt from the back, and was pulling backwards. Even though Brian struggled, there was no way he was stronger than the four who was pulling and pressing him away from me.
"You just don´t understand do you?" Wyatt said, and walked past Brian and the others, trying to hold him away from me. Though when Wyatt spoke up, he relaxed a bit.
"You think everything is about you, don´t you?" He said.
"No," I said. "The only ones in this room, who thinks everything´s about themselves, that´s you… and that´s him." I pointed to Brian. "You know what… why did you try to kill Maddie and me? You never cared about us anyway, I was the one taking care of both her and myself…"
"We had our own problems."
"I was TEN."
"Come on," the four securities from the prison came and put handcuffs on both Brian and Wyatt. "Time to go now." One of them said. I took step to the right, where I could look both Brian and Wyatt in the faces.
"You know, so many of my tears have been wasted on you two, but not a single one more will be… because you know what? You don´t deserve it, you don´t deserve my tears, and you don´t deserve me." This was my last words to them. Before they were forced to turn around and walked out of the room. I put my hands in my pockets and for multiple seconds I just stood there, and looked to the door where they had disappeared. Until I heard Carole speak.
"Mr. Schue, you´re bleeding." She said. I turned around. Mr. Schue had his hand to his eyebrow, but it was clear that he actually was bleeding.
"I´ll be fine." He said. Carole pulled a tissue from her pocket and gave it to him.
"Just keep the pressure on it." She said. "Mr. Schue nodded, and did as he was told.
"I´m so sorry." I said. Mr. Schue shook his head slightly.
"It´s not your fault." Carole opened her bag and pulled out something.
"Here´s your photo. We lend it so we could put it on the back of the stage like that." She gave it to me. "We´ve got your list as well, because, we think you can cross number six now." I nodded, and took the list and the pen she gave me. I walked over to the piano, and laid the list on it.
"I´m crossing number seven… now." I said and crossed it…. "Four done, Six to go then." I smiled, folded the paper and put it in my back- pocket. The others cheered, I took my jacket and the violin- case, Burt took Ned´s hutch from Marcie and then we walked out of the choir room, and towards the doors.
Monday
"What have you done this weekend then?" Tyler asked when we were on our way to the choir room on Monday.
"I started fixing some Christmas- presents, "Hi Alice," Alice turned around when I said hi, I stopped because she had tears in her eyes, and her cheeks were red and swollen."
"Al, is everything all right?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Josh is gone. Mum took him for some Christmas shopping this Saturday, and he got kidnapped."
"Oh, I´m so sorry." I said
"I just hope he´s okay."
"Is there…. Anything we could do for you?" Tyler asked.
"Mum asked me to put up these over town after school," she took a bunch of papers from her locker. It had a picture of a boy, about five or six years old, I hadn´t seen him before, but it was clear that it was Alice´s brother, because he had the same, roundish face, brown eyes, and middle- brown hair as her.
"We´ll fix that," Tyler said.
"Don´t worry," I said. "I´m sure he´ll be okay."
"I hope so." Alice said.
"So," Mr. Schue walked into the choir room, right after me, Tyler and Alice. "On Friday, we´re gonna have a Christmas performance in the gym- hall, and we´re gonna choose which song to sing. I´ve already decided that we´re gonna do, I´ll be home for Christmas. And as I´ve told you before, a Lima- celebrity is gonna show up before the performance, and sing with us."
Later the same day
"So, I, Tyler, Hayley, Marcie and Ben took each bunch of papers, and we walked around town and put them up." I told Burt and Carole.
"Oh, I really hope Alice´s brother comes home safely." Carole said.
"Who´s that," Burt pointed out the kitchen window. I turned around, to see a girl I recognized, even though it was dark outside.
"Vie?" I said and jumped down from the table and walked to the hallway, just as there was a frenetic knock on the door.
So, what does Vie want? And will Josh be okay? Hmm, I know!
