Hidden in the star, book one

Chapter 28 Misery loves componey

It's Monday afternoon, Sol's getting ready for his interview, more like press conference. Cooper brought him a suit so he could look professional, well half a suit, Sol never been big on modest clothes. His suit, a deep V halter neck vest with nothing under and straight dress pants, all in black, Sol's never been big on colour eather, with his cross bar wedged platform shoes, hair now down to his elbows is done up in a loss bun. Sol drove with his parents to the hotel, as he enters a clerk saying
"Hello Sol, They would like to see you"
Sol node's and walks over to the impoyes elevate, puts his hand on the screaty panel and proceeds, turn and saying
"Come on I know your old, but are you that fucking slow?!"
Keller smiled smugly replied
"And whoms ass did I kick in training"
Max afended said
"I now your smart little J, but we're barely over 40, so not old!"
Both chuckles and Max asks curiously
"Your cleard for this?"
Sol shrugs and said
"Minour share holder"
Cooper gasps and Keller chuckles as the doors open, Sol yelling
"HAY STOP FUCKING I'M HEAR!"
As he said this a woman in just underwear steps out, pear figure, olive skin with teal hair and pink eyes, she gasps saying
"Sweetheart your ok, lucky I haven't done my make-up"
And starts fanning her face, Sol walks over and gives her a bone crushing hug no care on how she's dressed at the moment, her only reply being giggles, Sol asking
"How are you hmm"
But has no time to reply as two man in suit's walks in, one blonde casamadic tall, almost 7 foot man with light brown eyes and a smile that could sell ice to Eskimos and a smaller man in coparcent, mid length sweep back black hair and baby green eyes. The blond steps forward trying to be serious but failing saying
"Please not my wife!"
Sol puts the wife down turning and replies
"Hmm, is there a better option?"
And then the second suite man starts running to Sol and jump in his arms yelling
"ME"
Sol catches him but then the woman starts screaming
"NO! GET DOWN LAURA HE'S HURT! SHIT APRIL CALL THE DOCTOR!"
Her panic is cut short with Sol in a fit of laughter only saying
"You fucked my eyeliner asshat"
And wiping a tear and continues still with the black hair man in his arms, legs around Sol's waist so he's completely off the ground
"Papa, Dad this is April, Jay and Laura the poly lovers that own Cosmo Hotel, they keep it hush because people are dicks!"
Cooper beams saying
"Hello it's lovely meeting with you, I'm Max Cooper and my husband Sage Keller"
Sol chuckles saying
"Dad be careful, Laura here can hack anything. He could even find what underwear you have and colours"
Cooper pales saying
"Well that's a petrifying Della!"
The blond angry replies
"It not a dam Della!"
Cooper shakes his hand saying
"I'm sorry I shouldn't presume, I hate it when people presume when I'm married that it's a woman, so sorry"
Cooper walks over to Laura grabing his hand asking
"Please forgive me, I'm sorry"
Laura giggles holding one hand to his mouth to stop, but failed, taking a deep breath, Laura Finley saying
"Your not like others Max, nothing to forgive, April is just overprotective, I love him, but he's a handful"
Keller shrugs with a flat tone
"Della or not, don't give two shits, nice to meet you, all you"
April seems to sofen to the new pair saying
"Yeh sorry sore point, I'm April"
Turning to Jay sternly saying
"We run a hotel, not Victoria Secret, chang"
Jay shrugs and replies
"Hold your panties, Sol came in"
And walks off to the bedroom saying
"Sol I can fix your eyeliner"
Sol putting Laura on the ground saying
"Thank fuck"
And following after Jay, April ask 
"So Keller you not full of question about us, you are a hero"
Keller smirks and replies
"Are you politely saying I'm dumb, I'm sure you done a background check on us, we an't dead, and Sol is comfortable around all you, what would I ask."
Laura chuckles and said
"Please baby, there doing everything they can, oh could you give this data stick to Raven for me please"
Keller raised a brow asking
"Do I ask"
Laura chuckles
"Just a house to put on a serten witch"
As Keller starts walking out, he yelled out
"SORRY SOL I HAVE A BICH TO BURRY, SEE YOU AT HOME"
Sol is heard next
"Love you"
A moment later Sol walks out with Jay now dressed in a chiffon sun dress, Sol said
"Let's go"
Cooper looking nervous saying
"Hay I know papa an't here but I'm.."
He gets cut off there when Sol holds his hand up and says
"Dad I love you but don't even finish that shit, we got this."
Cooper scoops Sol up in a tight hug saying
"Let's go already"
As the walk to the elevater April laugh at the sight, and Jay comment
"You really are good for Sol, we lost touch after Micah die"
Cooper
"Oh why, you seem close, if you don't."
Again Cooper gets get off with Laura coldly state
"Restraining order"
April following up
"Of sorts"
Sol hmms and conference
"Varbal, she told them to stay away or there info would be leaked"
As they left the elervater, Cooper puts Sol down and kissed the top of his head, whispering sweetly
"No more little J"
Sol leand up and kissers his cheak then turns to April asking
"Which room"
April
"Entertainment 3, we leaving you to it, but Laura has surveillance"
Sol
"Thanks, see you later"
And Sol turns left, walking down the hall with his dad only a step away.
The entertainment room 3 was one of the smaller of the three, seating for 40 people max, a small low stage, no currents,
and a simple piano on the side. The media wonted live so Raven only allow 2 media stations to air this and there seated and waiting was two camera guys with one reporter each, as Sol enters he said
"Hello"
Reporter one
"Hello I'm Kat, my camera guy Rob"
Sol nod and the second reporter
"Hi, May and this is Lee"
Points to the camera guy, Sol standing at the set up podem and shakes his head, kat said
"We on air in 5 seconds, 4,"
And get no further with that as Sol asks
"What's this shit, hmm"
Gesturing to said podem, shaking his head and walks to the edge of the stage and sits, asking
"This good?"
Lee and Rob both say
"Yep"
Sol node's and continues
"Hello I'm Sol Jackson, what would you like to know?, one each, back and forth or I'll skip, carmer guys can jump in, fair?"
Everyone node's so Sol points to Kat to start, kat smiled saying
"Hello Sol, do you think its a good idea for you to become a hero?"
Cooper jumping in
"Next question"
Sol chuckles
"Dad carm it, it's fair, sorry got dad in the back"
Sol takes a moment then replied
"Well if that your first question I'm sure this is in regards of my lifestyle, not the fact I was suicide, yes"
Kat nods clarify
"Well I left it open, but yeh, sex, drugs undera."
Sol cuts in
"I lived it, I know, and no. I don't and will not promote my lifestyle. Yes it happen but people should look at the lack there of guidance and help"
Kat
"But being in the public eye, you posted that photo it was very reviling, kids will look up to you, copy you"
Sol closed his eye and takes a breath, then said
"Yeh I understand, I've done these things so I'm condone them. No, not at all"
Take a breath and continues
"I would go on my knees in a flash just to hear 'your so good', I would sleep with who ever just to feel something, anything. I took Uppers so could feel normal. These I'm not condoning, I would never wont someone to feel what I have, shit happens and everyone won't to put it in a box. I'm a voice for the ones that cant, a tail of what not to do, nothing more. I said everything on my video. Next question"
As he wipe a tear, Cooper ask
"Little J please"
Sol shakes his head 'no' saying
"Im a leave of ok dad, May"
And jesters for her to go, May
"If you look into your history and school records you have a very colourful, let's say background"
Sol snots saying
"Let me cut in because everyone else is lost, I have a temper and don't abyed by othorety is one thing, but then there's the training"
Sol jesters for her to read the list to witch May smiled saying
"Your trained in Japanese martial arts styles, including.."
Sol cuts in saying flatly
"All"
May looks up speechless before continuing saying
"Um, Yes, among boxing, Thi boxing, self defence, ballet, pop dance, hip hop and you can speak.."
Sol cuts in clarified
"14 languages, sing language and weapons training"
The room gasps as May coughs and continues saying
"Yes, and this is just child records. Then there's other records that show a violent child, you have said you bully a friend of yours and there's a police report saying they we're call to a home where a then 11 year old Sol Jackson was found wit.."
Sol cuts in with a grunt and a dejected look saying
"Dont say names"
Taking a deep breath then said
"Yeh a friend of mine, he's dad was abuses, he came back and almost killed the mother, I lost it, I wonted, in all honesty, him dead, I was covered in blood and a lot wasn't mine, as I've said, I go for simple A then Z, I don't allways see why we go through the dam alphabet, it hides irresponsible and incompetent"
Lee
"Sol, your smart, way smart but we go through the trouble because we need to be accountable for our actions, it's not incompetence"
Sol looks vexed by that saying firmly
"I'm sitting here to be accountable for my actions, so bull shit!"
They can now see first hand the temper he and reports talks about, May asks
"Sweet, would you call yourself dangerous?"
Sol node's and May continue saying
"Is it not more irresponsible to ignore others, would we not be frightened because we just don't know what you may do? Thus fear of the unknown?"
Sol closed his eyes deep in thought, really trying to understand her point of view before finely looking at her saying
"Yeh ok fair, but I swear, I would never be villainous to others, mean, brutal and misunderstood, yes, probably"
Kat
"You say, mean and brutal, dose this relate to your bullying?"
Sol shrugs saying
"He developed a mental submission, meaning he was Un-Della till later in life, it was fucked, but my mother lessons made me strong and the Un-Della in this world need to be strong in so many ways"
Leaning his head back, eyes closed saying only as a wisper
"I told him to kill himself, honest, it was meant to be my inner voice to myself,
I realised how wrong I was to him and I wonted to die, more then on the daily anyway"
Lee
"Would you do it again, teach someone like your mothers lessons?"
Sol looks off to the side clearly vexed by the question but answer
"Fuck no, as you said I'm way smart, I realise quickly what options there are and if you haven't noticed I don't have faith in the law, the same law that let's Un-Della be miss treated for something there born without or waiting for help that, because of red tape, won't come"
Sol buried his head in his hands and kat asks softly
"You truly just feel and act don't you Sol, you don't give yourself time to ponder on possibilities, as you have said, if you can help, help, I'm I miss guided?"
Sol looks up with a wide smirk saying proudly
"Yah love, thank you and yes that simple, need help, I can and willing, so do"
May
"Can you sing for us?"
Sol
"What you wont darling?"
May
"Somthing we haven't herd maybe, somthing in a similar time to this? Help us understand more"
Sol hmms walks over to the piano and starts playing one of his old songs
(Cut, Plump)
Sol finished the song and took a moment, then walk back to the edge and sate saying
"OK, next"
Kat
"Can you talk about her? You song, black roses was about your mother yes?"
Sol node's saying softly
"Yes, what am I ment to say that hasn't been said, so next"
May
"But you listened depression, PTSD and anxiety can you elaborate?"
Sol hmms look off to the side saying softly
"My mother made me strong and week in so many regard. I have no blame for a woman that never wonted me and I'm learning to aseptic she may of been wrong on so many things, please no further"
Rob
"Your songs are havey do you think people should be listening?"
Sol chuckles replied
"And there's the fucking problem"
Sol closed his eye for a moment and Kat asked
"What do you mean? Can you elaborate"
Sol hmms, opening his eyes and replies
"If people are listening it's because there feeling the same, because there in pain, because they don't won't to be told what there going thought isn't normal. We are human we bleed, and yes sometimes we make ourselves bleed. We ask for help in so many ways, but who listen,  who helps."
Sol sighing and wihsper a simple
"Dad"
Cooper comes running over and scoops Sol up in a big hug and starts singing softly mocking Jay, after a moment Sol still in Max's arms  simply said
"Next"
May
"Talking about your video, do you try repeating for pre deeds by now standing up for Un-Della?"
Sol grunts out
"Are you fucking kidding"
May looks lost and Sol continues
"Della, Un-Della I don't care, period. If it breaths it deserves life, if it needs help and you can, help, simple. Next"
Kat
"In relation, do you condon segugrtion we have in society?"
Sol
"No, not at all, Do you know why after saying 'I'm not going to be a hero', why I'm at Jenkins again?"
Paused and continues
"Because I have a powerful Della, if I save someone in any way and there city damage, even if its villain related. I can be arrested for 'indangring the public', because I don't have a hero licence."
Sihying continues
"Next, Kat"
Rob steps in
"Sorry can I?"
Sol node's Rob asked
"How can we avoid kids going through what you have?"
Sol
"Being sad is frownd apond, be..."
Sol traling off then continue
"Fine here, my first time, for the idiots, sex, it was one of mother's boyfriend son. He would baby sit me and ask wird questions.
He was 18 to my then barley 13, I tryed to ask my mother. I ask 'he was asking things I don't think he should', her only reply was 'it fine don't be a shit, keep him happy, how fucking hard is it'. So I slept with him, he was happy, mother was. It could of been nothing,  but she made me feel like questioning was the wrong"
Sol shrugs and said
"Next"
May wipe a tear only saying
"I have kids"
Sol gets out of Max's death grip that wrapped around him as he talk about his past and go's to May asking
"Won't a hug"
May node's and stands, Sol wrapping her in a hug and taking a moment, then Lee said
"Your really just nice an't you"
Sol chuckles letting go of May and continues
"No, touched starved, it's just being self-centred really"
Lee shakes his head saying
"The one thing you are not is selfish Sol Jackson and I would love to hug you,
may I?"
Sol only node's and Lee waist no time wrapping Sol in a hug, Lee let's go of Sol and May asked
"Why you, why put yourself in the position to make a point on so many issues you see in the community?"
Sol hoped back on the stage next to Cooper and replies
"I'm basically telling you to be human here. I said if no one would come, I would and did. Nothing more nothing less, needed help, I helped. It's little things telling someone your there, a nambour, a child, anyone and you go. Next"
Kat
"Yes, Wreaking Ball, there's videos been aired and it looked like a brutal fight can you tell us details?"
Sol evily smirks saying
"When Wrecking Ball hit me with a man hole cover, what happened?"
Kat node's added
"You kept fighting yes we seen, what was that like?"
Sol snots saying
"Like?, I heard a pop and a creak, that was my arm that got brocken, my shoulder dislocated, a concoction amongst my ribs and collar bone being brocken. But there was a hostage and injury people to tend to so I moved forward, simple"
Kat gasps as May asked in disbelief
"How could you fight like that and more pressing avoid medical treatment?!"
Sol smirks with a giggle saying
"Mother made me strong and week, see after being beaten to the point you wake the next day in your own blood and vomit, you don't fret the small things, being called Sol at one point, now that would bring me to a panic attack, therapy is helping, everyone calls me Sol now, small steps, but I'm getting better"
Kat
"Are you going to contue to be the people voice?"
Sol
"God yes, if me being in the public eye can saves one and my ations have already yelided results, so I will not stop to speak for the unspoken, next"
May
"Do you have plans for the future, you said therapy is helping?"
Sol chuckles
"No I'm not suicide, I have bad days, dark maybe. Future is still a mystery. I can look forward to things tho."
Kat
"Can we hear another one of your old songs before we go?"
Sol node's and walks over to the piano starts playing another one of his songs.
(Weak, Daphne Khoo)
May
"And that's all the time we have, thank you Sol for your time, it has been an honour to meet the real you"
Kat
"Yes please take care and thank you, your an amazing man Sol Jackson, honest seems to small of a word next to you, it's been eye opening and I hope we meet again"
Sol gasps at there words holding a hand to his mouth before replying
"Thank you, truly, it means a lot to be seen and hard, but I just don't won't otheres to feel like I have, please look after each other"
And that was the end, Sol go's to get up but Max won't hear off it and curry's him to the car, wisperd sweet nothing's in his ear, really not nothing's, praise and love was chatted into Sol's ear, he melted into his dad listening to everyone of them and for the first time in a long time, believing every word.
