So here's the next installment of MULS! I hope you enjoy this chapter! And a quick thanks to everyone who reviewed, favorite-d, and followed me and my story; it really means a lot. I made this chapter super long to make up for the long wait.
Break Down
Silence befell everyone as Brianna and Jerimiah continued to stare at each other in shock.
"Jerimiah…is that…is it really you…?" Brianna asked, her voice shaking.
She reached her hand up and went to touch his face, but Jerimiah seemed to come out of his trance like state, because he quickly pulled his arm out of Brianna's grip and smacked her hand away.
"Don't. Touch. Me." He growled out, anger flashing in his cobalt eyes.
The hosts knew that if he was a student at Ouran, they would have definitely recruited him as a host. With his cobalt eyes, shaggy black hair, bronzed skin, and athletic build; a lot of girls would like him.
Brianna flinched, taking miniscule step back.
"Je-Jerimi-Jerimiah—" Brianna tried to get out, but Jerimiah interrupted her again.
"Shut up. I don't want to hear anything you have to say! You stupid bitch! Didn't I make it clear to you that I hate you?!" he was shouting at her and Brianna looked as if she was going to cry.
"Jerimiah…" the woman who was with him stated slowly, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Stop." Jerimiah relaxed slightly.
"D…Delilah…" Brianna stuttered out as she looked at the girl.
The hosts turned their attention to Delilah. She was dark skinned, had light brown eyes, and her dark brown-nearly black-hair was put into a fishtail braid.
A motherly look took over Delilah's face as she glanced over at Brianna.
"Hello, Brianna…how are you?" she asked softly.
"F-fine…and you?"
"Good,"
Delilah moved her attention to the hosts and Carissa.
"Carissa, it's so good to see you again."
Carissa smiled nervously.
"H-hi, Delilah."
Jerimiah snorted. "So you're still hangin with the little home wrecker?"
Carissa flinched and Brianna tensed up.
"Jerimiah!" Delilah said sharply, but the boy just looked at Carissa with a glare.
"…Don't…"
Jerimiah turned his head to face Brianna, and eyebrow raised.
"Don't what?"
"Don't call her that!" Brianna shouted suddenly, marching up to Jerimiah. "I get that you hate me, but don't fucking take it out on Carissa, she did nothing wrong!"
Jerimiah bristled, eyes flashing in anger.
"I can call her whatever the hell I want to call her!"
"No you can't!"
"Jerimiah cut it out!" Delilah snapped, glaring at him.
"Brianna, its ok…" Carissa muttered, placing her hand on Brianna's shoulder.
"Yeah, go ahead and listen to the little slut."
In a split second, Jerimiah was knocked on the ground, clutching his cheek, courtesy of Brianna punching him on his cheek.
"Brianna!" Carissa cried as she tried to hold back her friend from going in to attack the boy even more.
The hosts rushed over to help Carissa as they all tried to calm Brianna down.
"What the hell is your problem you stupid bitch?!" Jerimiah snapped as he jumped off the ground.
Delilah put a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him down, but Jerimiah just shrugged it off.
"Stop calling her that!" Hikaru snapped, glaring at Jerimiah.
"What? A bitch?"
Hikaru and Kaoru glared and growled at the guy. Letting go of Brianna, they marched over to the guy, who just smirked sinisterly at them, reaching into his pockets.
In the same second the twins reached the guy, he pulled out two guns on them and pointed them at their heads, only to have a knife pressed to his throat and a gun pointed at the side of his head by Delilah and Brianna respectively.
The twins stared wide-eyed at the guns, then their eyes flickered to Delilah, who was pressing the knife on Jerimiah's neck and Brianna who was pointing the gun at his head.
"Oh~…so you're going to try and kill me, huh? Brianna…" said girl stiffened at Jerimiah's words.
Her hands started shaking, which caused the gun to shake.
"Are you really strong enough to do it…? Especially after what happened…?" Brianna's breathe hitched.
"I…I…"
"Are you really going to hurt me…like you did my brother?" Brianna's face grew pale as her lips quivered uncontrollably.
"I…I…th-that wasn't—I didn't mean—I—!" Brianna fumbled over her words, only to get cut off.
"Save it!" Jerimiah growled lowly. "If it wasn't for you, he'd still be here!" his voice rose.
"Jerimiah! That's enough!…put the guns away. You know we're not supposed to draw attention to ourselves." Delilah said, her voice and her eyes were stone cold.
Jerimiah made a 'tch' sound, before removing the guns and placing them back in his pocket.
"Whatever…" he grumbled, as Delilah withdrew the knife from his neck.
Jerimiah slowly turned around to face Brianna, so now, the gun was pointed right in the middle of his forehead.
"Do it…" Jerimiah stated calmly, his eyes bore into hers, unwavering. "Kill me, make me lifeless, like you did my brother." Brianna sucked in a huge gasp, her grip on the gun loosening as her hands began to shake even more.
Jerimiah smirked as he watched the girl.
"Do it…what are you waiting for…?"
"That's enough." Delilah's voice rung through the tense atmosphere like a knife as she grabbed hold of Jerimiah and began to drag him away.
She paused for a moment, before quickly turning around and walking up to Brianna.
"Don't worry…we won't tell him were you are. However, stay safe and sharp and make sure you remain vigilant, because he has eyes all over." Delilah whispered into Brianna's ear, before pulling away and continuing on her way.
Jerimiah looked back and sent them all a wicked smirk, before turning around and quickly walking away.
After the two were out of sight and they all over came their shock, the hosts and Carissa all turned to Brianna, who was still in the same position, gun raised and pointed and her eyes staring straight ahead.
"Bri…chan?" Hunny questioned tentatively, taking a step towards her.
She showed no sign of acknowledge meant, still in the same position.
Mori walked over towards her.
"Brianna." He said, placing his hand on her shoulder.
She jumped, the gun falling out of her hand and falling to the ground.
She turned and faced him slowly, her eyes big and watery.
"Mo-Mori…" she whimpered out.
Carissa quickly walked over to the two and hugged her friend.
"Brianna…let's go home," Carissa whispered to the poor girl, grabbing her hand and leading her friend away.
The hosts could only watch as they walked away, never once looking back.
~One Week Later~
It was happening again.
All week after the incident, Brianna would have nightmares whenever she fell asleep, and since she didn't go to sleep at home, she was sleeping in school.
The hosts watched as Brianna tossed and turned in her sleep on the couch in the clubroom. Her eyebrows were furrowed and she was whimpering. Beads of sweat collected on her forehead as she began to thrash about wildly, whimpering: "no!" over and over again. Hikaru cautiously walked over to her and began to shake her awake.
"Brianna! Hey Brianna! Wake up! Wake—"
"NO!" Brianna yelled, leaping up from the couch.
Faster than anyone could see, Brianna had pulled out a gun and was pointing it right at the middle of Hikaru's forehead. Everyone stared in shock at Brianna who was panting hard, eyes wide, the gun shaking in her hand.
"Hah, hah, hah, hah, ah…" she panted out, removing the gun from Hikaru's forehead and clutching the side of her head with her hands.
"Bri-Brianna…?" Hikaru asked, moving closer to her but Brianna only scrambled back until her back met the armrest of the chair.
Hikaru took a step closer to her but Brianna scrambled off the couch and staggered towards the door, gun still in her hand. They all watched as Brianna tripped over her own feet and fell to the floor. Brianna pushed herself up until she was on her hands and knees. She panted even harder and her eyes grew wider as her hand flew to her mouth. She made a few gagging sounds and then she dropped her hand and threw up on the floor, her body convulsing with each heave she made.
Carissa made her way over to her friend, her eyes devoid of any emotions. This was the first time the hosts had ever seen the girls like this. Carissa was always so cheerful and Brianna always had a sort of laid back and aloof attitude that they couldn't believe how much both girl's attitudes had changed.
"Brianna…" Carissa said, her voice low and icy.
Brianna turned her head around to face her, still panting.
Carissa eyes narrowed into slits as she glared at the girl.
"Stop it!" she dropped to her knees and grabbed the girl by her shoulders and pulled her around so she could look at her.
"STOP IT!" Carissa screamed, slapping Brianna across the face with the backside of her hand so hard that the girl's head snapped to the side from the force of the blow and her glasses fell off.
The hosts watched in stunned silence at this exchange, their mouths agape.
Carissa's eyes softened as she stared at the panting girl, who still kept her face towards the side, bangs hiding her eyes.
"It's okay! It's over! He's not going to get you! He's not going to find you! So stop it…please just…just stop…" Carissa grabbed Brianna's face and turned it so that they were staring in each other's eyes. "It's over…it's over…"
"Ah, ah, ah…hah…hah…" tears leaked out of her eyes as she panted heavily.
"It's over…" Carissa repeated and Brianna clutched her tightly.
"Over…over…" Brianna chanted before she threw herself at Carissa and hugged her tightly, sobbing uncontrollably into her chest and shivering violently.
Carissa just ran her fingers over the top of Brianna's head and kept chanting in a soft murmur: "It's over…it's over…"
The hosts only stared in silence as they watched the scene unfold before them. No one dared to say a word, and no one dared to move. The only sound was Carissa murmuring and Brianna sobbing.
And…that's it! I'm sorry I made you all wait this long but life has just been pretty hectic, so sorry if it seems rushed. Anyways, please review and tell me what you thought!
