~Masquerade's POV~
The agent walked in on our group hug and cleared his throat. We broke the hug and looked at him. "Um kids since your father is going to jail, your mother is gone, and you have no where to stay, so your gonna have to go to a family in L.A.-"
"No, I think I might know a place where we can stay..." I cut him off.
"Really?" The agent says.
"Yeah, but I have to wait till tomorrow to ask him...I don't have his number...so yeah."
"Ok, but go pack your things guys..."
"Done!"
"You are?" The agent questions me.
"Yeah, I've been thinking about running away for a while now..."
"Oh" said the boys in unison sounding upset.
"Hey at least I didn't leave..." I said trying to comfort them.
"Well you guys should rest for school tomorrow. Ms. Miller, you too especially you, I'll keep an eye on all of you." The agent said as he walked out and took the twins with him.

I lay down on my white and black striped bed. I lay there staring up at the ceiling. It had those little glow-in-the-dark sticky gel star thingies stuck to it. I turned off the lights and took off my mask and laid there waiting for sleep to drift over me. I heard something in my room open. I dart up to the sitting up position, looking around cautiously.

~???'s POV~
She sat there looking around. She looks straight at me but moves past me. I mentally sigh in relief. I think she heard me come in....oops. Anyways...boss said I needed to get a girl. He showed me a picture of a girl with red-ish brown hair and with scars all over her face. I looked at her and realized I attacked her a while ago, but I was called to work so I didn't get to finish her...oops. I wonder why boss needs her... eh, best not think about it. I stared at her and waiting for her to fall asleep. Once she was asleep I walked over to her and started to lift her when I suddenly got a face full of pillow. I dropped her and stumbled back.
"What the heck are you and what are you doing in my room?!?!" She said loudly and sounding a bit agitated.
"Your the one who is agitated?!?! I'm the one who just got hit with with a pillow!" I said, getting angry.
"Well I was the one who was trying to sleep because I've had a very stressful day. I'm really tired. Get out of my room and don't come back you sick person!" She argued/complained.
"Why should I leave?" I asked her trying to sound angry and scary.
"Because there is an child services agent right outside my door...dip..." She said sounding agitated.
"Fine I'll leave but just know I will return." I disappeared in a flash.

~Masquerade's POV~
And with that it disappeared...I laid back down. Sleep slowly drifted over me.

~Le time skip of laziness~

I woke up hearing "Beep Beep Rade wake up Beep beep beep wake up Rade Beep beep" I sat up and smacked the shizzzle out of the snooze button. Sometimes I wish I didn't build that dang thing. I sigh, get up, and walked to the bathroom. I turn on the shower, and for waited it to heat up and once it did I got in. Then I began to sing "Love Me Harder" by Arianna Grande.

~Agent J's POV~
I was walking past the bathroom when I hear "Can you feel the pressure between your hips?!?!~" (later on in the song) "You gotta gotta gotta gotta love me harder" I knock on the door trying to see who was singing, it was beautiful.

~Masquerade's POV~
I hear someone knocking on the door. "Who is it?!??!" I yell.
"It's Agent J, who is in there?" He yells back.
"It's Rade, why?!?!" I shout.
"I could hear your singing as I walked past, your really good..." I blush at the compliment, but I pretend I didn't hear him.
"I'll tell you when you get out!" He yells.
"Okay!" I shout back.
I finished washing my hair and get out. I wrap my self in a towel, put on my mask, and walked out, I bump into someone, they fall over, and I go with them. I fall on top of them, I look up at them to see that it was agent J. I blush profusely, I have my hand on his chest. "Man, this guy is ripped..." I thought to myself. "I-i'm s-so s-sorry J" I stutter out.
"It's fine, I shouldn't have been standing in front of the door." He says, with an "apologetic" voice. We just sat there for a few seconds, staring at each other completely dumbfounded at what just happened. I stand up quickly, and put my hand out to help him up.
"You are probably not strong enough to help me up" he chuckles because of my size. That kinda tea'd me off, so I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Rade, what are you doing?" He asked sounding nervous. I laughed innocently and slung him over my shoulder.
"Not strong enough eh? I might be short but never question how strong I am....ever..." I said giving him a look.
"Okay, I won't anymore, I promise. Can you put me down now....please?" He chuckles sounding scared/ amused. I set him down and walk off to my room, I felt like someone was watching me, more on my hips....eh. I shrugged off the feeling and close my door behind me. I got out my clothing and Jase's jacket. I put on my panties and bra. I searched around for my stockings when I heard the door open. I ran to the closet and hid behind the door.
"Rade?" The person asked.
"Yes? Who is in here?" I ask cautiously.
"It's Chad" he sounded a bit sad.
"Oh, um Chad I'm kinda getting dressed..." I say sounding a bit peeved.
"Oh, can we talk after your ready?" He asks, still sounding upset.
"Sure!" I say sarcastically.
"Great! See you when your ready!" He says sounding a bit happier.
I sigh and face palm, I search for the stockings. I found them under my frickin' bed! I put on my skirt and polo shirt along with the school jumper. I slide on my stockings and flats. I walk to the bathroom and brush out my hair. I notice something....weird in the mirror. I turn around, but nothing was there. I sigh out and continue doing my daily routine. But I went all morning with the feeling of being watched. I grabbed Jase's jacket, put it on, and walked downstairs.
Where I saw Chad and Brandon sitting as far away from each other as possible, which is unusual because spend every second of everyday with each other. "What's wrong with you two?" I ask them.
"Rade!" They say in unison, then glare at each other and they both raced over to me and started to complain about each other. I hold my hand up signalling them to shut up.
They did, so I started off with "Okay, what's the problem? Chad first since he came to me first."
"Brandon called me a slob, and told me get to my own room, 'because no one will ever want to share a room with a slob like me'" he cried out.
"Chad never cleans up after himself, you always have to. I clean up after myself unlike Chad!" Brandon cut in before I can respond.
"Your such a neat-freak, it's ridiculous!" They start to bicker.
"Shut it!" I yell between their bickering. They do as they are told and keep their mouth shut. "We are moving soon, you two have to deal with your problem...Chad clean up after yourself every once in a while, Brandon there is nothing wrong with a slightly messy room. You two make up now!" I said a bit agitated. They nod, turn towards each other, and shake hands. "Good, now go get ready for school, I'm leaving early cause I need to talk to Jase...and do my audition for choir." I say to them as I grab my skateboard, and race to school.

I enter the office to see Jase shoot up and race over to me. "Rade are you alright? We're you attacked again? Why are you here so early?" He attacked me with these questions.
"I'm fine, no I wasn't, because I need to ask you a question." I answered quickly, and in the same manner he asked me, to show him he was being silly.
He chuckled "Sorry, I just had a huge cup of coffee. So what do you need to ask me?" He said apologetically.
"Um, it's private, I just need to talk to you alone." I said 'alone' louder to emphasize that it was about my father. He understood, nodded, and turned towards the office people.
"I need to get a breath of fresh air." He made an excuse.
"Okay."
We walked out and immediately he asked me "Where did he hurt you?"
"He didn't hurt me, he is going to jail. But we need a place to stay since he murdered our mother." I explained.
"We?" He questioned.
"Me and my brothers" I said plainly.
"Oh..."
"Yeah, can we stay with you, please, I know it's a lot to ask, since we just met all but-"
"Rade, you are welcome to live with me but I only have enough room for one more person." He cut me off.
"But what about my brothers?" I asked.
"They have to find somewhere else to live. Rade please just leave them and come live with me." I blushed at the thought of me and Jase living together, alone...oh sorry *wipes away the drool*. Jase took my hand into his.
"Okay..." I gently respond.
"Really?!?!" Excitement in his voice. I nod gently. He smiles and hugs me, lifting me in the air. I laugh from underneath my mask. The principal comes around the corner.
"Jase put her down before you break her..." She says, laughing softly. Jase chuckles nervously, sets me down, and rubs the back of his neck. I giggle at him, and I turn to face the principal.
I wave at her "Hi Ms....erm you never told me what to call you."
"Oh, I'm Ms. Harper, but you can call me Jenni." She introduced herself to me.
"Well it's nice to meet you Jenni."
"What was that about anyways?" She asks Jase.
"Oh, her father got put in jail, and she gets to come live with me." He responds.
"Oh, why is your father in jail?" She asks me.
"For abusing me and murdering my mother...." I say plainly.
"WHAT?!?!" She yells, freaking out.
"Isn't that normal?" I ask innocently.
"No!!" She exclaims loudly
"Oh..."
"I'm going to my office..." She walked off to her office, I looked at Jase, and I smiled underneath my mask.
"I get to live with you!!!" I squealed and hugged him tightly. He smiled at me and hugged back.
"I'm glad your going to be....what time do I pick you up from your place?" He asks.
"Um, I'll call you, here put your number and stuff in my phone." I hand him my phone and he puts in his information. He hands me back my phone, I plug in my headphones, and turn on my music. I walk away from Jase with a bounce in my walk, I start to sing along without realizing it. "I thought that I've been hurt before, but no one has ever left me quite this sore~" silence....."You watch me bleedin' till I can't breath, shakin' fallin' on to my knees, now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needin' stitches, trippin' over myself, begging for you to come help~" a minute later the song ends and I hear clapping. I turn around to see Jase clapping. "Jase....how long were you standing there?" I ask cautiously.
"Why didn't you tell me you can sing?!?!" He exclaims happily.
"I can't sing, now answer my question!," I yelled at him.
"Long enough to hear your gorgeous voice," I blush profusely underneath my mask.
"What do you need?," I ask stubbornly.
"Can't I just talk to you?" He asked me walking up to me, placing his hand underneath my chin.
"W-we were just talking though..." He chuckles and brings his face close to my mask, he lifts my mask high enough to expose my lips. I'm blushing insanely, he was real close to kissing me but I felt his hand go south, a little to south...I reached up and slapped him.
"What the heck?!?!" He yelled rubbing his cheek.
"Dude you don't grab my butt and try to kiss me!!!! What the heck is wrong with you?!?!," I yell back at him.
"You're my girlfriend, I can touch you how I like!," He says.
"Since when?!?!," I yell at him.
"Since forever," he said, like I was his property.
"I never agreed to be your girlfriend! I just started here, I thought you were a cool guy, apparently I was wrong..." I said, sounding sad/angry.
"Tch, whatever, later" he says his forked tongue coming out slightly. Wait forked tongue something isn't right... it walked away and I heard pounding, coming from the Janitor's closet. I run to it and open it, a beat up Jase falls out.
"Jase! Wait Jase? But you just walked away..." I kneel down beside him.
"Beast.....beat me up......are you hurt?" He asks out of breath.
I laugh softly "I'm fine, he thought I was your girlfriend, tried to kiss me, and touched my butt, but I'm fine we need to get you help..." I say, I was getting ready to pick him up when he stopped me.
"You're not strong enough to lift my dead weight *cough*"
"Jase, trust me I am." I lift him and carry him bridal style, he cries out in pain. I look at him worryingly, since I haven't felt pain in a while, I have no clue what he feels right now... I run to the nurse's office, him crying as I ran as fast as I can, but she wasn't there so I started towards the hospital.
"Don't worry Jase we'll get you help, I promise!" I reach the office and burst through the door. The nurse at the hospital gasped but looked to see me holding Jase with a bloody nose, busted lip, and bruises all over his face.
