(Jeremy's POV)

I watched as Jerome carried in a bowl of reeking old soup clicking open my cage door, I growled as she banged on my cage, the noise booming into my ears. He was the beast compared to me, how could someone treat a person like this, a brother? I wanted him dead, I wanted to show him, just for once; which one of us was caged to the other.

I might be around bars but he’s the one trapped by this, forced to hide, pretend, keep his dark secret from anyone knowing. I wont ever tell, I promise you that, he’ll be too dead to care.

“What are you looking at?” He raised a hand which I shielded my face too, afteryears of torture you tend to predict things.

He tossed the bowl in making it splatter everywhere and burn my skin, I whimpered in pain holding my knee wiping off the tomato sting.

Jeremy snickered at my pain like it was a form of entertainment, “It’s so easy…” He mumbled but his sentence cut off at the sound of a doorbell. “Jerome! Fluffy!”

I recognized that voice. I watch the terror in Jerome’s eyes that I didn’t know existed.“Ashley?” He yells through the house as we hear the front door open, “Um-uh one, one second.”

He said fiddling around with my lock, “Where are you Jerome?” He takes off into his gaming room but I notice something’s wrong about the cage door, it’s tilted slightly.

“Oh just in here Ashe, working on a vlog uh, whatcha doing here? So early?” I hear the soft steps as Ashley enters. I don’t focus on their conversation though, I’m too shocked and in awe that after years of being so careful, so precise, my brother slipped up.

The door was open.

Chapter 3 (Ashley’s POV)

I stepped inside eagerly looking around, Jerome never locked his door. It looked cleaner, probably because me and Mitch were coming. “Oh just in here Ashe, working on a vlog, uh whatcha doing here? So early?”

I followed his voice and we nearly banged into each other in front of his Gaming Office, “Ooh a vlog.” I said laughing as we hugged. I notice something weird though, all his recording equipment, even his computer was turned off…so much for a vlog.

“I wanted to surprise you, come early!” I cheered happily, “Great, is um, er Mitch here too?” He said a bit more excited and I shook my head, “No I think he’s sleeping right about now,” I laughed looking at the time, it was 6:34 in the morning and I’d usually be sleeping, and Mitch would, and Jerome would.

Unless we’re were still recording from the day before on one of those epic hunger games or an awesome game of Mario Party.

“Oh, here I got that for ya,” He smiled taking my small suitcase and putting it in the room I usually stay in when I come here. “Since my Mitch wont be up for a while you want to eat breakfast.

I nodded smiling heading to the kitchen, “Sure what do you got for Ashley?” I laughed at my perfect grammar not really. “Um-let’s go out to eat.” Jerome scratched his head a bit nervously.

I don’t know why, his house was clean as can be and he knows no one really cares, after all I know my house is a mess. “Alright cool,” I opened the door smiling slipping on my coat again, “Lets go!”

*******************************************************************

“Mmmm.” I smiled sitting back, we and Jerome had just finished a huge meal of chicken wings and fries at a little diner I love going to when I’m down here. “I got is Ashles.” Jerome said smiling paying the check.

“Oops it’s like almost noon.” I say looking at my phone, “When was Mitch coming again?” I ask curiously.

“Oh not sure, let’s go now though, I cant wait to see mai Benja.” I giggled, “He wouldn’t stop talking about seeing you on a Hungerdeans we played.” I laughed, Mitch really liked Jerome, it was so cute their little thing for each other.

“Let’s go then!” He stood up smiling as we walked out onto the street. “Speaking of Hungerdeans let’s set one up before he gets here, we should bang a few videos out anyways.”

I nodded agreeing, I don’t think I’ve uploaded a vid in two days whoopsies, my viewers know I headed over Jerome’s house though so I’ll make it up to them. “Same,” I hopped his car and we took off.

“So what exactly did he say?” I laughed at Jerome, “Nothing much, just that he was psyched to see you again.” I laughed watching his cheeks turn a rosy shade of pink. “Awww my Baca’s Blushing!” I giggled.

“No I’m not!” I laughed harder. When we pulled up into the driveway Mitch was there smiling in his car too, on his phone probably playing a game. “Jerome! Ashley!”

He smiled as I hopped out of the car hugging him, “BIGGUMS!” I watched as they hugged too, a little longer than I had. “So- you hungry?” I asked holding a bag of leftovers, dangling them in front of Mitch like a toy for a dog.

“Always!” He exclaimed munching down the cold spicy wings and tator tots, “Mmmm good eats.” I grinned as Jerome led us in, “Alright let’s do dis hungerdeans.”

Me and Jerome watched quietly as Mitch counted down with his fingers silently mouthing the words, “Ready Ashley? 4…3…2…”

“Hey doods this is Ashley Marie here with the BajanCanadian and AsfJerome here playing a round of hungergames!” I said in my little cheery voice.

“Oh no the Hungerdeans! Is this where I gotta chop people’s heads up? Why’d you bring me here Mitch?”

Me and Mitch laughed as Jerome took a huge sip of coffee destroying a guy with his stone axe. “Let’s go! Let’s go!” Mitch yelled and we were off.

It was an awesome video with some super hilarious moments, I ended up dead before deathmatch but it was a solid round. “No not like this Jerome, not like this!” I watched as Mitch dodged a few arrows by Jerome having barely two hearts left.

I love the CandyLand Map, “Too Strongk Betty is too Strongk!” Jerome yelled nailing Mitch winning the games. “WHYYYYYYY JEROME WHYYYY”

Mitch pounded his desk as I typed GG in the chat, “Revenge is Sweet.” I added since last time our Baca was brought down by his own axe from Mitch. “Ashley, Ashley please this is a pun-free zone.”

We wrapped up the episode pretty quickly and managed to finish a short few games of Block Hunt which I was on the winning team: Hiders, as a pig.

“Alright, I think that’s gonna call it a night,” Mitch leaned back yawning, the clock said it was a little past midnight and I was already nearly drifting asleep. “That’s cool bigums, you and Ashley can hit the hay, Ima edit a bit of footage.”

For some reason Jerome’s eyes drifted over to his closest, I think he kept old recordings in there but I had never bothered glancing in it. Oh god, I thought, He’s gonna prank us I know it.

I remember last time we silly stringed the Baca right out of him when we stayed over Mitch’s house in Canada. Well I sure wasn’t gonna let him prank me, which doesn’t mean a Benja cant get hurt in the crossfire.

He caught me following his eyes and I smiled awkwardly, “Oh alright, night!” I said hurrying upstairs into my suitcase, luckily I had packed for such a thing. Jerome’s not gonna know what hit him.
