Deadly Scandals - FreshJam

Ch.45 Smile

AN; Hey, so Wednesday I was busy and thank you all for being patient. Today I'm sick but I decided to publish this chapter and work on another today. I won't be able to update for probably the next two Wednesday's due to me being busier than ever, but I will make up for it and I will try to update a Christmas chapter sometime next week. Also, it's not required in this chapter to play the song, but you can if you want. So, hope you enjoy!

Ch.45 Smile

Eventually we were discharged from the hospital, which made me happy. I'm not too fond of lying to those who only want to help.

Savage pulled on a violet GMC car door, and I stared at her confused.

" It's Kai, he felt bad after hearing what happened to you two. When he came for your birthday he decided he would stay until you were discharged, he's giving us a ride home." She explained as me and Lux got inside.

"Hey, you alright? You spazzed out yesterday pretty bad." Kai asked his green eyes looking back at me with concern, I sighed as he pulled out of the parking lot stopping before continuing on the main rode.

" I'm fine, I'm just a very complicated person." I admitted as I heard Savage sigh.

"No kidding, you knew you weren't ready and could have just said no to it all..." She lectured me as I simply closed my eyes mentally agreeing.

We all sat in silence until Savage broke it again.

"Look. I'm not saying your dumb or anything negative, I'm just saying you need to pay more attention to what you can take. You have limits, we all do; but that doesn't mean you can try to force yourself to get over them. Be a little more considerate towards yourself would ya?" She asked giving me a concerned glare as I nodded.

"...You should smile more, it's weird seeing you without it..." Lux murmured hugging my arm as I patted her head.

"Smiling does suit you better, and you're going to need it for school tomorrow; and so, will PB&J." Savage said as I blinked.

"What do you mean?" I asked as Kai glanced back at me again, then keeping his eyes on the road.

"What does she mean? What are you saying? I may have been in the school for a small amount of time, but its obvious PJ is one of the most well known and popular guy in school." Kai stated as he stopped at a red light.

"Do you think you can be protected by him, sent to the hospital with him, and not get a reaction from the school once so ever; the people here in this town are like piranhas, feeding off of any information they can find that seems exciting or questionable. Did you really think you could get away with that?" Kai asked pressing on the gas when the green light came on.

"No, not really. It would be nice if I did though." I replied.

" Yeah, well now that you're out of that place you'll have to share your room with your sister until I clear out the other room." Savage stated as I was surprised.

"How many rooms do you have?" I asked as she shrugged.

"Just four rooms, the fourth is being used as our gaming room. Technically we have five rooms if you count the attic." She stated as I shook my head.

Eventually we got to our neighborhood and Kai stepped on the brakes.

"I'm really sorry about all of this, honestly none of this would have happened if I wasn't at your place. If you need anything at all come and get me." Kai said as Savage scoffed.

"Kai, please...the best friend job is my role. You can be the support though." She giggled at the end as Kai rolled his eyes watching her step out of the car.

"Okay dove, whatever you say." He laughed as I carried a sleeping Lux out of his car. With that he drove off and we walked inside.

Once inside we had some explaining to do with Wild. I woke Trinity up while Savage started cooking dinner, Wild setting up the table and drinks.

After eating Wild apologized one last time for the whole party incident, then went up to sleep leaving the three of us to eat until we were done.

"Welp, good night my radical bro. You have a most likely a horrible day tomorrow." Savage stated giving me a pat on the back before walking up the stairs to her room.

I knew she was right, and now I have to make sure no one messes with Lux.

That'll be easier said than done.

"Come on Lux, we have a busy day tommrow." I said leading her to our now shared room.

We both just laid down in bed silently, not really knowing why sleep was so out of reach at the moment.

"...He's a keeper." Lux hummed as I turned on my side and looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"...You'll find out on your own, but I'm pretty sure you already know what I mean. do yourself a favor and don't do what you already did. Good night..." She stated closing her eye's and forcing herself to sleep. 

I just turned onto my back looking at the ceiling of my room, before drifting off to sleep myself.

??? POV

I slid the window open quietly slipping on a jacket, stepping on to the tile roof as carefully as possible to not disturb anyone who was asleep or awake. I leaped off the roof gently landing at my feet hit the ground, and I was off. 

I'm used to sneaking out, it became a habit of mine in all honesty. No one ever noticed I was gone, making it easier for me to do what I want.

Ever since the lock down incident...Nearly losing Fresh, and PJ... I can't stand to think of what could've happened.

"So, if I do this... You'll help me?" A voice said as I stopped dead in my tracks walking up to a corner, I pulled out my phone putting it on record.

"We both have a similar goal dear. I have access to what you need, and you have access to what I want. You do this for me, and I WILL guarantee that he'll be yours once again. Do you accept my dear?" A woman's voice asked as there was a pause of silence. 

"...Deal, whatever it takes to get Fresh back. On one condition, I'll only give you what you want after your end of the deal is done." The voice said as I heard a chuckle.

"Fine by me..."

'Oh no... I have to find Fre- No, he's been through enough stress. I need to find Savage and PJ quick.' I thought saving the recording in my phone and texting Dream, and just when I was going to turn my phone off it started playing a Linkin Park ringtone making me panic.

"Who's there!?" A voice asked.

'Crap!!!' I panicked opening the back of my phone and taking the memory card out, putting the back of it onto the phone again opening the recording app as I ran for my life.

However, the moment I rounded a corner I was punched in the throat and was pepper sprayed in the eyes, I fell gasping in pain as I quickly slid the memory card into my underwear without them noticing. Or at least I hope they didn't notice.

I heard some footsteps from behind me as I felt my self being held up.

"...This teenager has a phone, search them." The woman ordered as they searched my pockets taking my phone.

"Break it." She commanded as I heard glass shattering.

I suddenly felt all fuzzy in the head the moment a piece of metal was an inch away from my forehead.

"Here's an early Christmas present, merry Christmas." She spoke

I was confused and scared as metal touched my forehead with a sharp pain on contact, the next thing I knew I was dizzy, and a sharp stabbing pain shot through my head making a loud annoying ring in my ears as I passed out.
