chapter 33

billie grabs my wrist, then grabs the door handle.

"you probably shouldn't do that, love." brandon says, he lifts up his shirt and pulls out a glock 19 from his waistband.

i look at billie and put my hand on her shoulder, "it's alright, let's just talk to him and get this shit over with" i tell her.

she stares at me for a while, then drags me by my wrist to the couch across from where brandon sits.

"nah," brandon says, when we both sat down, "kai, you're not gonna sit next to her. come sit in this chair next to me." he tells me, pointing the gun at my chest.

"alright" i try to say without me showing that i'm a little frightened.

i get up slowly and walk over to the chair that's right next to brandon's, i keep eye contact with him as i'm heading over there. his gun follows my movements until i sit down.

before brandon could speak, i said, "first off, before we get into this-"

"you better shut the fuck up" he says, motioning his gun at my forehead.

"how'd you get in?" i asked him, staring at him in the eyes.

he gets up instantly and lunges towards me, wrapping his hand around my throat and squeezing hard, his gun jabs into my temple. "i said, shut the fuck up!" he yells.

"brandon, stop!" billie shouts.

i wrap my hand around his wrist and try to pry it away, but i'm shaking terribly and feel weak.

"okay" i choked out.

he lets me go and i suck in some deep breaths, trying to get my breathing back to normal. he starts to walk towards where billie sits and goes around the couch, behind her.

"you're security team is weak" he says, he starts to stroke billie's hair.

i look at billie and she starts to shed some tears, and moves her head away from his hand.

"don't touch her" i said.

"don't tell me what to do." he says, he looks down at billie and puts the glock in the front of his waistband.

"what business do you want to discuss?" billie asks.

"you guys should know exactly what i want to talk about." he says. he places his hands on the couch and leans over, his face barely touching billie's.

i wince, i feel sweat form on my forehead. all i want is for this man to die at this very moment.

"explain" i said.

"well," he starts, "you should know by now that i have told you multiple times to stay-" he gets interrupted by the door to the green room opening.

"bro there was so many people in that bathroom" i look over and see finneas's back as he is about to close the door. after he closes it, i see from the corner of my eye that brandon takes out his glock and points it at finneas.

finneas turns around and when he notices what's going on, his eyes widen and his face is instantly flushed.

"ah, nice to see you again, fin. sit down in the chair by kai and we can continue the conversation that we were having. i'll fill you in" brandon says, pointing the glock at finneas's chest.

finneas looks over at me and billie, and then says, "please don't hurt them."

"they aren't hurt...yet" brandon says, he motions the gun to the chair next to me, "cmon now, i know we all don't have all night to do this"

finneas walks slowly to the chair next to me, i notice that he sneaks his hand in his back pocket and brandon doesn't notice. he looked at billie, then his eyes land on mine and then move down to my neck. there must've been bruising.

"did you choke kai?" finneas asks, taking his hand out of his pocket as he sat down.

"they simply weren't listening and kept fucking talking. i had to" he says, he puts the glock back in his waistband.

"now," brandon starts, he stands directly behind billie. at least he isn't touching her anymore, "what i was saying, is that you guys aren't listening to a fucking word i'm saying, about being with eachother and performing with eachother. i've told this to you guys like five times" he says.

"dude, seriously. why can't you let this go?" finneas asks.

brandon glares at finneas, "because i'm not about to have the girl that i'm in love be with them"

"she's moved on, and you need to too. i know what it's like to be in love with someone, and how hard it is to get over them. but you can, and you can find your person. you can't just try to stick to that person when they're over you" i say.

he glares at me and rushes around the couch to stand in front of me. he stops in his tracks when he's two inches from my face and says, "i don't know how she fell in love with you, you're fucking pathetic" he says.

"is this why you set a bomb at the grammys? why you shot kai? because of jealousy?" finneas asks him.

while still looking at me, he replies with, "no, it's cause i'm not about to have billie with someone who's a faggot who doesn't even know their gender"

i start to giggle, feeling all sorts of anger rise up in my chest.

billie says, "are you fucking kidding me, brandon?that's what jealousy is!"

"you're real funny for calling me that" i said, still laughing.

"ha-ha" he says, before he starts to swing. i brace my face for impact and then feel his fist nail my left cheek. a flash of white covers my vision and i feel pain instantly rise on my cheek.

"brandon!" billie shouts. "i'm gonna fucking kill you"

i instantly regain my consciousness and see brandon face billie, his back towards me.

"oh you could only try, baby" he tells her.

i look at finneas and back at brandon, who is still facing billie. i took my chance and lunge towards his back. i wrap my hands around his wrists and then grab his hands, crossing his arms around his back.

"shit!" he yells, struggling to break free of my arms.

i wrap my arms around his crossed arms, so he has no way of reaching his gun. i see finneas from the corner of my eye get up and run over to us, he lifts his shirt up and takes his gun out of his waistband.

"god fucking damnit!" brandon yells, flipping his body around trying to get loose.

billie runs up and sends a clean shot to his face, hitting him in the nose.

"you bitch!" he yells.

"one thing you should know," i say in his ear. i let go of his arms and wrap my arms around his waist, then i pick him up and swing his body towards the ground. i then turn him over, grab the collar of his shirt and pull him up, then send my right fist flying towards his face. when it hits him, he's almost out cold. "don't ever touch my girlfriend or anyone else i care about again"

i got up and heard billie speaking, i look over at her and she has a finger on her earpiece.

"we need assistance to the green room immediately" she says.

i instantly walk over to her and pull her in for a deep kiss, she wraps her arms around my shoulders, then gives me a big hug.

"are you okay?" she asks.

"i will be, are you?" i ask her, burying my face in her neck.

"i will be" she says, in my shoulder.

i feel another arm wrap around my arm, then i look up and realize that finneas joins our hug. i wrap and arm around his back.

"i think we finally got him" finneas says.
