The Academy

Chapter Twenty

Tink:

    "Tinkerbell, let me in baby, I'm not angry," Peter says through the door. "Of course you are! I accidentally cheated on you!" I yell back. "You're right. I'm pissed. Right now, I just want to talk to you," Peter says back. If he was gonna leave me ever, now would be the right time to jump ship. "I'm coming," I call from the closet. I open the door and Peter's eyes are red and puffy from crying. "I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. It's like we were being controlled or something. We both kind of panicked when we realized what had happened," I say, nearly bursting into tears. "Peter I understand if you want to leave. This really is unacceptable and I know I would be killed by my own emotions if you did anything like this with Rose," I say, looking at the ground.

      "I told you I wouldn't leave you alone. I'm not ditching you because some one messed with your's and Jace's brains. I love you and I will until the end of like forever," Peter says, grabbing me in a fierce hug. "That's it! Messing with our brains! Peter this wasn't us, and it's not really common but my dad has been possessed for how long to the day he died? Ten years! Ten years is the common time from a crossroads demon. I have no idea what he gave up but he did this so that I would have twins!" I yell before going down the stairs. "Tink, hun, that's insane, why would he ever do that?" Peter asks.

      "Before he was possessed he drank, and had women around, but if he wasn't coping like that, he was coping with me. Ten years started before that thing happened. At night he would ask me what I wanted for my future. I said I want to own a library with a handsome husband and we will have twins. It has to be twins so the they are never alone. He told me that he would do anything to make my dreams come true. He only said that once. Then, he was out for like three days. I played around fifty games of monopoly with Smee, so not that bad but then he came back and was different," I say as we go into the kitchen and I untie Jace.

      "Tink, what are you doing?" Rose asks. "I can explain the whole thing," I say, pushing Peter and Jace apart. I tell her the same story that I told Peter on our way down and Jace nods. "Sounds plausible, but just to mend things even further," he says and stands like a star in the middle of the kitchen. "C'mon dude, I know you wanna take a shot," Jace says, wincing and closing his eyes. Peter punches him right in the face and I gasp. "Oh that sounded like it hurt," I comment, trying not to watch but I couldn't take my eyes of the swing of Peter's arm as he punches Jace. "Nope, I deserved it Tink, keep you mouth shut," Jace says. He walks over to Rose and she crosses her arms.

    "I could say I'm sorry a billion times but I don't think words really matter to you," Jace says, putting a hand by her head against the wall and taking the frying pan from her. He puts the other hand by her waist and I giggle. He was watching my movies! This is in that one scene from that one really good movie that I can't remember the title to. He kisses her and she looks like she might actually knee him in the crotch but she relaxes and kisses him back. "That doesnt fix-" Jace cuts her off, when he pulls back again she tries to talk again. "Jace, seriously it's-" again, she gets cut off. By the third time she is stumbling over words snd trying very hard to dodge Jace. "Jace, I love you but you-". I leave the room as she discovers resistance is useless.
