No Mercy

Chapter 8

                    Ray

"So in here we will be using first names. Not stage names, not last names, not nicknames. Your government first name. So to start this off we will go around saying your first name and what you like to do. Ray Ray why dont you start." Said Doctor Morgan, before I spoke.

"Well my name is Rayan, and I like to draw." I said before Prince started. 

"Well, my name is Jacob. I like to write poetry." 

"My name Craig, and I like to sing." 

"My name is Maxillian, and I like to dance." 

"Okay, now that we all know each others first name. Mine is Todd. I want to get right down to the problem in this group so we can spend the rest of these sessions resolving the issue."

"Can I go first?" Prod volunteered.

"Go ahead, so I want you to state one thing that you find unfair or annoying toward you about everybody. Everyone keep in mind the truth does hurt so if you can't handle it then you should probably step out." He said as I looked around trying to figure out what might be said and what to say.

"Well Jacob, I feel like you try to hard to be a "misfit" and you choose all the wrong people over who were with you from the start." Prince gave him a stale face and was about to open his mouth and say something but words couldn't come out so he just sat there and stared at the floor.

Todd interrupted him before he continued to ask a question. "Jacob did you have a response for that?" He just shook his head and stared at the ground.

"Rayan, I feel like you're a bit phony. Around us you're how you normally act, but around girls you like to put us down, like that doesn't hurt our feelings. Then you ignore us and blow us off for them. I also feel like you are rude at times, and you're putting up a front about this "artistic" fashion stuff. You don't really care about that stuff, you just want to be apart of a crowd you don't belong to." That had me thinking. Do I really care about it. Everybody does. Do I act different to my bros around girls I haven't known for long? 

"...and Max. I don't like you. You're arrogant, you're rude, you're ignorant, and you walk around with this attitude that you are better than everyone else in the group. Like you MAKE the group. When you are only a replacement, you didn't work hard with us for that 2 years, conditioning and improving ourselves to be stars, you just walked in and took a spot." This is exactly how I feel about Max. 

"Well is there anything anyone has to say in response to what Craig thinks?" Todd stated, as he took notes and looked at us. We all just shook our head and stared at the ground in deep thought, if we really act the way Craig sees us.

"Who's next?" Todd question. That was the start of the increasing tension that boiled in the room. It was hit after hit about someone's act, and a time to say everything we wanted to say. When It finally got to me, I made up my mind and was ready to let loose.

"I feel like you are irrelevant Max, you have no purpose of being here, you don't even try and work hard. You don't put your all into what we all do and what you do. But you walk around with your head high swearing your're better than everyone else. Jacob, I honestly am starting to think you might be bisexual. You have girls throwing themselves at you everyday but you constantly turn them down. I hate the fact that you talk so much, sometimes you should just shutup and observe. You aren't a misfit, we all know that. You just wanna seem cool, or with the crowd because you're afraid. You're afraid you're gonna be bullied again, you wanna do what everyone else does. Being different is the new style for everyone. Craig I feel you're too serious, you're a party pooper, and you're a follower. You go with the follow, you're normal. You're supposed to be mindless and be yourself. You follow in the steps of your role models in the wrong way." I looked around and everybody looked heated. Like Todd said, the truth hurts.

"Well now that we got that out of the way, I recommend you all spend some time away from each other today. Go do your own thing, enjoy Chicago while you're here for these couple of months. This own day, be yourself, and doing your own thing." Todd took more notes and gave Walter a handshake, and opened the door. "One more thing. NO FIGHTING. NO TWITTER SUBS. NO SHADE. Being real is what you all seem to say there is a problem with. So be real. "  We all walked out, and sat in the lobby while Walter was on the phone, and calling our driver.

                                Esther

   MB came out of the office, and they all looked gloomy but mad at the same time. Todd must have had them talk about each other. Well the truth hurts. But I saw Jacob on his phone and in the corner, he looked real hurt. I was interrupted with a text on my phone. I looked over and it was a "323" number, so It was no one I knew.

323-985-6853

Hey, um. This is Jacob. I just needed someone to talk to so hey why not text the beauty I just met today.

Um, well I have nothing to do at the moment. So yeah let's talk. Are you ok?

No exactly, I mean I was told some things today that made me think differently, I'm a bit upset at it. But hey the truth hurts.

Lol. You'll survive boo. It's only for the best. 

Wyd today? We get a day to stay away from each other, and I wanted to know...

You wanna take me out basically?

Yeah...So what do you say? 

How about you come to my house? I can cook and we can do normal people stuff. 

Sounds fine to me. :) 

  I looked up and saw a smile on his face, then he looked up and noticed me looking and winked at me and flashed a smile. This boy here, knows he fine. They all walked out and he turned around and blew a kiss at me, of course I caught it. I just hope Jerome doesn't show up at my place unexpectedly. I would hate to have to kill someone in front of guest.

   I walked into my house and was greeted by the sight of a messy living room. I really need to start cleaning. Shit. I forgot to tell him a time, I pulled out my phone and texted Jacob what time to come over. I plugged up my phone and blasted some August Alsina while I started to clean up my house. It took me about and hour and a half to clean and wash dishes, but I finished. when I was done I decided to start the food so it can cook while I was taking a shower, I decided on making baked chicken, buiscuts, brocolli cheddar rice, and corn on a cob. I seasoned the chicken and rinsed off the corn and let it cook. Now to figured out what to wear.

    I shouldn't get too dressy in my own home right? But then again it is a date. I should just go dressy casual. I looked in my closet for the right outfit, and I saw a blouse that I never wore that would look perfect with some leggings and flats. I stepped into the shower and decided to cleanse my mind of stress while singing along with the song playing in the living room. 

    When I got out I heard my notification from my phone, telling me that I had call. I looked at the phone and it was from Jacob.

"Hello?"

"Hey Esther. I was calling to tell you I was on my way. I'm like almost an hour away from your house so, yeah."

"Why didn't you just text me and tell me that?" I questioned.

"I just wanted to hear your voice." I felt a smirk creep upon my face.

"Well, Let me know when you're here. I have to get ready." I walked into my room.

"Okay, Bye beautiful" This boy here.
