Lucius POV

It feels like yesterday was a dream I thought as I sipped my on my tea.

"We have something that we need to talk about" James said in a serious tone.

"What is it?" I asked impassively.

"It's about Brooke. The makeup team saw some scars on her back it seems. And Brooke told them not to tell anyone but.." he trailed off.

"I did see a scar on her upper shoulder but what does that have to do with anything?" I asked him.

"I just want you to be careful nothing more" he told me. Right then Brooke made her way down stairs avoiding eye contact. She just sat and ate silently.

I glanced over to James who glanced back at me
Did she hear what we were talking about? I don't know

We had an internal conversation While she just took her bag and left. I just stared dumbfoundedly.

She left just like that

"Earth to Lucius~ She already left" he hollered.

"I know. Shut up" I told him while he just smirked. Am I that transparent? I then remembered something .

"I saw a semi colon tattoo on her nape yesterday if that means anything" I told him.

"You don't know what that means do you?" he sighed. "What am I supposed to do with you~" he said with a hand on his cheek.

"It means that she could ended her story but she didn't. The story meaning her life to be precise" said Cole who came to the dining area with a bag of chips.

"She... tried to commit suicide" I tried to piece together what that meant and I felt this pain in my chest.

This feeling of grief of knowing that she might have been through something so traumatic enough to...

"Seriously boss you could have told me that you liked her so you brought her here then I wouldn't have put those bugs in her system. To think I put bugs in my idols computer Ahhh~" he munched on his chips.

"You were jealous of Brooke weren't you?" James smirked.
"shut u-up its not like that it's just that I thought boss wanted to recruit her as he did with me" Cole said as he pouted.

"There are times you can be cute huh?" James pinched Cole's cheeks.

Because of their bickering I felt a bit at ease but not completely but it helped.

"I should get to class" I said as I took my bag and left.

Brooke's POV

Did he see me blushing? I don't think so I thought as I walked.

Its all his fault so being that hot and dashing in that suit! That suit on him is making my mind go even more perverted then it already is!!.

I touched my face Am I having a fever? why am I soo hot! I smiled.

It's been a while since I have been this happy. I don't even know if I have ever been this happy before...

what if something happens? What if it all goes wrong? This much happiness is too much that something bad will happen right? After all there must be balance. No! No!

Don't go there remember what marshal said I have the right to be happy and if something happens then we get through it together or.. I just forget everything and run.
