"I can't believe it three out of five." I said pacing back and forward
"Well that's it and now you have to deal with it." Nina said looking through the playlist
"I think I'm gonna be sick." I said
"Oh no. You're not chickening out of this you're performing." She said picking a song
"No I'm serious that pizza has turned against me." I said holding my stomach and running towards the bathroom
"Where do you think your going?" Trent asked blocking my way
"Bathroom." I quickly answered
"No your not. You're staying right here until it's showtime." He said
"But I feel like I'm gonna puke." I said
"You're just nervous just look for me in the crowd and sing as if I'm the only one there. You can even picture me in my boxes if that help with you anxiety." He said jokingly
"Yeah riiiiiiiiiiight. That'll help her picturing you and your shotgun. Yeah that'll solve everything." Nina said sarcastically while I giggled at her comments
"You'll do great cause lets face it you always do." He said before going back to the front
"Damnit! How in the hell does he know what to say to make me feel better?" I asked
"Oh. You feeling better. Great! Cause we're up I'll take the first verse." She said
"And I'm keeping my ass back here." I said
"You're really gonna let your little sister out do you on Your birthday? How sad." She said with a smirk
"This means war." I said
Nina looking at Warren while Micheal was looking at her: I was running on an empty heart
Not a trace of gasoline
Trying to dim every single spark
That could hurt, that could burn all of me
Like a soldier on a battle ground
Lying wounded on the field
I was fighting along with the broken sword
Now I'm caught in a war with no shield
If you hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Me front backstage: If you hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, Yeah!
Nina: Surrender, surrender
Me getting pulled by Nina: I pushed and pulled all the ones that...tried...
As soon I was pulled on stage I frozed. The words escaped me as I tried to keep calm and that pizza down until...
"Ay Yo! You Got This!" Trent yelled, "Alex! Alex! Alex!" He started chanting and getting everybody to join in
I inhaled a breath of fresh air and gathered my thoughts before nodding, "Thank you and if it's alright with you guys I'd like to start that verse over." I said
"Go ahead babe. It's your time to shine." He said while everybody agreed
Me staring directly at Trent: I pushed and pulled all the ones that try
Then I watched them fade away
As I look around a vacant room
I see nobody left here to play
'Cause I made myself a prisoner
Shackled up by all my fears
But I feel you breaking away, out the walls
Make them fall, make them all disappeared
If you hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Nina glancing back and forward between Warren and Mike: If you hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Both: Hold me now
And leave me never
Say you'll stay, with me forever
Then I surrender, surrender
Everybody stood up and cheered after me and Nina's performce. We both felt like stars when the guys met up with us around back.
"Wow. Just amazing both of you like I...can I take lessons from you?" Warren asked grabbing Nina's hands
"Well...ummmm...I guess...but I was never really much of a singer." She replied blushing
"You could've fooled me that was breathtaking." He said
"You Were Incredible!" Trent said giving me a bear hug and spinning me around
"Will you please put me down?" I said giggling
"It sounds like you don't want me to put you down. So much for that stage fright huh?" He asked
"Wait...whoever said I had stage fright?" I asked
"Ummmmmm..." He said slowly putting me down
"Sissy. Did you tell Trent about the talent show?" I asked staring at him
"Ummmm yeah." She answered nervously
"Did you tell him it was You who fell out on stage or me?" I asked
"You." She quietly answered
"You know I'm gonna kill you later right?" I asked
"Yeah I know but Trent already had threw this kick-ass party before hand." She said
"Well I tried I'm just glade everybody is having a good time. You guys go chill I gotta make an announcement." He said
"Alright and remind me to thank you properly for the party." I said
"You guys are way worst than me and Michael was. Do you even breath afterwards?" She asked
"It's the only thing we can do." I answered
"Oh God. Why did I set myself up for that?" She asked while we walked back to the table
"Wow that last performce just wow. Alright we have enough time for one more performce before we bring out the cake. So who wants to try to follow up behind that?" Trent asked over the mic
The room fell dead silent while everybody looked around at each other, "Anybody? Look I know the girls were badass but that's no reason to be intimidated." He said
"I Gotta Song!" Mike yelled from the back while everybody seemed shocked
"ANYBODY ELSE!" Trent yelled in a panic
"You heard me. I gotta song." Mike said wobbling up to the front
Warren almost got up but Nina grabbed his arm and eventually slid her hand into his to calm him down. I moved closer to Nina and kept a tight grip on her other hand. We could tell just by how Michael was stumbling and climbing on the stage this wasn't gonna end pretty. Trent was trying to convince him to get off stage but Mike's mind was mind up especially when he grabbed the mic away from Trent and pushed him away.
"I dedicate this song to my Ex." He said staring directly at Nina
"Look we don't have to stay here. We can leave right now if you want to." Warren whispered to Nina
"No I wanna know what he has to say." She replied
"He's just gonna take advantage of the moment." He said
Nina looked Warren in the eye, "Let him. If he wants to make an ass out of himself let him. He can't hurt me no more than what he has already done." She lied tightly holding my hand
Michael: Can you see me
Floating above your head
As you lay in bed
Thinking about everything
That you did not do
Cause saying I love you
Has nothing to do with meaning it
And I don't trust you
Cause every time you're here
Your intentions are unclear
I spend every hour waiting for a phone call
That I know will never come
I used to think you were the one
Now I'm sick of thinking anything at all
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Do you remember
The way we used to melt
Do you remember how it felt
When I touched you
Oh cause I remember very well
And how long has it been
Since someone you let in
Has given what I gave to you
And at night when you sleep
Do you dream I would be there
Just for a minute or two do you?
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Heartache heartache I just have so much
A simple love with a complex touch
There is nothing you can say or do
I'm going to let you know I'm through with you
You ain't ever coming back to me
That's not how this was supposed to be
You take my hand just to give it back
No other lover has ever done that
Heartache heartache I just have so much
A simple love with a complex touch
There is nothing you can say or do
I'm going to let you know I'm through
I'm going to let you know I'm through
I'm going to let you know I'm through with you
I ain't never coming back to you
After Michael slammed the stand down on the stage before the curtains fell. Trent waisted no time grabbing Michael by his shirt and pinning him against the wall, "What the fuck is wrong with you!? Are you seriously getting off by putting her through this bull shit?" Trent asked
"I might be but what does this have to do with you?" He asked putting the mic in his pocket
"You're sick!" Trent yelled dropping him to the ground
"That makes two of us." He said getting up and grabbing a bottle of Jack Daniels
"Who in the hell are you talking about?" Trent said
"I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU!" Mike yelled, "The exheroin addicted who acts like his shit doesn't stank. I'm constantly living in your damn shadow and I'm tired of it." He said
"So what? You think by doing something like this is gonna help you get out of it and why are you coming after her when she did nothing to deserve this?" Trent asked
"Nina and that fake-ass angle of hers can get the fuck outta here with that bull shit. I knew she fucking around with that guy. I can tell by the way they looked at each other when they first met after that it was just a matter of time." He replied
"Was it before or after you started being interested in Rogue? As a matter of fact where is Rogue Michael?" Trent asked
"She's gone." Nina answered walking up to the boys with me behind her
"Gone? Gone where?" Trent asked
"She lefted him." She answered
"She didn't leave and neither did you." Mike said
"And do you wanna know why I didn't leave? It's not because of my job it's because I thought you still cared about somebody other than yourself." Nina said
"No you stayed because you thought I still cared about you but get this through that thick ass skull of yours. I don't care about you. I never did you were just a piece of ass I could use until I got back with Brooke." He said
"Brooke as in the Back Bitch Brooke who fucked the entire football basketball and track team within three months?" I asked
"Yeah her. She was one of the best sex parenters I have ever been with in my entire life. After she moved I had to find a new challenge to conquer something different someone like you." He said staring at me
I looked around for a moment before pointing to myself, "Me? I thought of you as my little brother. My little gay brother at that." I said
"And that's how I knew you weren't the one so I went after the next best thing and after eight dates and playing Mr. GoodGuy she cracked. You were so easy to control was actually pathetic almost pathetic as the time when you found out you couldn't have kids." He said
"You're real a piece of shit. I can't believe you would say that you sick son of bit..." I started
"ALEXIS! Please just...stop." Nina said before turning her attention to Mike, "You are such a fucking...disappointment. I should have known better but I thought you loved me or at least cared. It felt like it especially when I told you I couldn't have kids you held me so close and actually cried with me cause we talked about having kids together. I thought I would never get the chance to be a mother...until last year around the fall remember sissy you were there when I kept throwing up." She said
"You...you told me you had a stomach virus and that I shouldn't worry about it." I said
"I kept throwing up my back was killing me I spent most of that week either asleep or in a bathroom. I had no clue what was going on with me so I got cheaked out...and being told I couldn't have kids was the biggest lie that Stryker has ever told me. I was one month pregnant but before I could even tell anybody about it I lost it because of you." She said poking Michael
"And how is that my fault?" He asked
"While I trying to figure out how I was gonna tell you I saw you sneaking out of Rogue's room at two in the fucking morning. After that I snapped and when I finally came to...Where the hell were you when I needed you? I was hurting and you didn't care you didn't give a flying fuck about me. You didn't fight for me nor our relationship. You didn't even say sorry for doing this to me. I thought I mattered to you but clearly I was wrong. I don't who's the bigger idiot you for getting drunk off your ass and embarrassing yourself or me for not leaving sooner." Nina said before grabbing Mike's hand and gently kissing his forehead, "I hate myself for being in love with you and I can't keep this up anymore. I'm leaving you Michael." She said before walking away
"You're not going anywhere. You Can't Leave Me!" He yelled
"I'm terrified of Warren...because he reminds me so much of you when you cared. I'm afraid he'll be just like you in the end. And other thing I wasn't gonna sleep with Warren cause I knew how much that would hurt you but now I just might consider it." She said
"Hey Nina." He said holding up the mic, "Lets see if your fake ass angle wants to be with you after hearing that." He said before dropping the mic on the ground
"Oh Fuck." Trent said picking it up turning it off and looking back at me
"Sissy..." I started turning around noticing that she was gone and Micheal was laughing, "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU DAMN MONSTER!" I yelled charging towards him while Trent was holding me back, "LET ME GO! LET ME GO! JUST WAIT YOU SICK BASTERD I'M GONNA TARE YOUR FUCKING THROAT OUT AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS." I yelled kicking and punching Trent
"OH SHUT THE FUCK UP! You wanna play so fucking innocent. Did you ever tell Trent what happened while he was in rehab?" Mike asked
"Shut up! You promised that would stay between us." I said
"What happened while I was at rehab?" He asked putting me down
"OH SHIT! You Don't Know? This Is Gonna Be Good As Fuck!" Mike yelled grabbing a cup before pouring Trent a glass
"Michael you promised. " I said
"What Happened? " Trent asked before Mike put the cup in his hand
"Cheers Buddy! Drink up you're gonna need it." Mike said
"WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" Trent yelled before throwing the glass against the wall
"Now Alexis. Can you tell your boyfriend that you fucked his little brother?" Mike asked
As soon as he said that I snapped after tackling him to the ground and I started beating whatever demon he had inside of him until Trent pulled me off, "I'M NOT DONE WITH THAT FUCK UP! Put me down! Put me down!" I yelled
"Shut up just SHUT THE HELL UP!" Trent yelled putting me down, "Now what did he just say again?" He asked
"That while you were in rehab I was fucking your girlfriend." Mike said getting up and spitting out blood
"You're lying. I wouldn't even fuck you in your wildest wettest most fucked up fantasy." I said
"Than why would he say something like that?" Trent asked
"He's drunk sad miserable and alone he'll say and do whatever it takes to make everybody just as miserable as he is." I said
"You wasn't saying that shit while he was gone. Sneaking in my room crying all over my shoulder begging me to hold you until you feel asleep. You're such a bitch." He said
"I got yo bitch! You trifling basterd." I said trying to move pass Trent
"Hey stop. I just wanna know the truth alright? " Trent asked
"The truth is that yo girl has a birth mark on her left inner tigh shaped like half a heart. Sorry man but I saw it when she was bending it over for a quote on quote 'real man'. Isn't that what you would call me afterwards?" He asked
"You're lying through you're fucking teeth." I said
"How does he know about your birth mark?" Trent asked
"Really? You're gonna ask me that? HE'S A FUCKING PERVERT! He Puts Cameras In Every House That We Have Ever Lived In! He knows everything even things we don't want him to know." I said
"Yeah I record everything even when you were away." Mike said looking through some files until he found the one he was looking for.
Trent walked towards Mike while he enlarged the screen and played a video. It was storming outside Mike was asleep in bed and lightening flashed from time to time. Everything was quiet and still until a knock on the door echoed throughout the room. I walked inside and stood on the side of the bed before the video pause and Mike zoomed in on my face, "That's you right?" He asked
"So? That doesn't mean I fucked you." I said
"Just keep playing the video. " Trent said
"Mikey Mikey are you up?" I asked
"I am now what's wrong?" He mumbled
"I can't sleep again and I was wondering can I stay the night with you?" I softly asked
"You know Nina is coming home from training tomorrow and I don't know if I should let you sleep here tonight." He replied
"Please just for tonight." I begged jumping a little at the lightening
"Fine but just for the night. I don't want Nini finding out about this." He said laying on his side to make room for me
"Don't worry I won't tell her. I promise." I said before cuddling up to him
"Ok. Just try to get some sleep." He said keeping me close before the video started glitching up
"What's going on? What the hell is happening!?" Trent yelled getting frustrated
"It's an old video it takes a minute alright." Mike said before it fixed itself out
The next moment obviously looked like a couple having sex at the same setting same time same storm but the covers were pulled over there heads and the audio was very low. After a moment the video started glitching up again before showing me and Michael holding each other.
"Thank you Mikey." I said before the video ended
"What the fuck was that...Alexis?" Trent asked
"He Edited That Video! How come you can't see that? Why are you even listening to him or taking his side over mine?" I asked
"I'm not taking sides anymore. I just wanna know the full story." Trent said
"If I haven't hurt you in the past why would I do it than?" I asked
"Revenge. Three weeks in the hospital surgery medication counseling should I go on? After you almost killed her in a drugged induce rage you left her pretty fucked up. Where was you when she needed you?" Mike asked
"This isn't about him Michael and you know that. This about what happened between you and my sister." I said
"Are you sure about that ? Three years in jail four years in rehab and two years in a halfway house not a visit not a call not even a letter...Why? He wrote you everyday while he was away but you couldn't do the same." Mike said
"I didn't know what to say." I replied
"And next thing you know after that she's back by your side. Why? Because she took you back out of guilt." He said
"THAT'S A LIE!" I yelled
"You can believe what you want but the facts are all there." He said before taking a drinking out the bottle
While me and that idiot was still arguing Trent was facing another episode reliving the darkest moments in his life. After awhile it was like he couldn't breath trying to separated fact from fiction his mind began to wonder. He dropped down to his knees and covered his ears before mumbling quietly to himself.
"Shut up Michael. Just Shut Up!" I yelled over his bull shit comments before walking over to Trent, "Hey...ar-are you ok?" I softly asked slowly putting my hand on his back
Before my hand could even touch him he grabbed me by my neck and raised me off my feet. He stared at me with his solar blue eyes and evil grin while I was kicking the air and trying to pull his hands off me.
"Tre...Trent." I barely said before inhaling a breath of air closing my eyes and slowly relaxing my body
After that Trent dropped me on the ground before blacking out himself. I openned my eyes and started coughing before breathing again, "Not again." I mumbled to myself before holding around my neck
Trent groan before waking up in a daze, "Wh-What happened?" He asked rubbing his head before looking over at me staring at him in a state of shock, "Alexis? Baby?" He asked coming towards me
"Stay the hell away from me! You two monsters deverse each other." I said crawling up to my feet and running out the back door
"Alexis Wait!" He started before Mike grabbed him
"Come on man! You're free lets go celebrate!" Mike happily yelled pulling him away
"But we were celebrating. Were we?" He thought to himself
