Vern Vincent

Tingggggg!!!!

The school bell rang. I walked towards my locker. I felt someone hold my shoulder, I squirmed.

"Hey! It's me JoJo. What's wrong with you? Are you doing well?" He said rising his hands

"Hmm... Nothing.... I'm sorry. I was just.... thinking something"

"Are you sure? I mean you look sick. And you are squirming every time someone touches you."

"JoJo you are just over thinking. It's nothing like that. I promise!!" With that I left him there confused.

I didn't wanted to go home, so I walked towards the park. I found them busy in there jam session. They officially call their band as 'Pleiades' which is originally the name of seven sisters or the seven star constellation. Alex was the lead singer. Tyson was the lead guitarist. Myra was the bass guitarist. Alex too played guitar or the flute but only when it's needed. Alya and Dean on piano. Richard on drums and Amy on the cajon (clapbox) and sometimes handled the viola.

"Hello?? Where are you lost" Richard asked.

"Haa... What??"

"Nothing. How are you? It's been two days you came to meet us" he raised one of his eyebrows. "You didn't even come out of the house. We came in search of you."

"Really....?? I mean...I.. I fell sick so...."

"How are you now?"

"Better"

"But why did your cousin pull you away?" Alex asked, as he came towards me. I felt really scared when he mentioned about Kevin. I could not feel my legs.

"I... I... I don't know! I have to make a move now!! Bye!!" With that told I started running. I could hear Alex screaming out for me to stop. I didn't stop. Tears ran down my eyes in fear. I ran into someone.

It's him!! It's him!! It's Kevin!!! Jesus!!

"Here you are! Why the fuck are you late?" He asked. I sobbed. I could feel Alex coming closer to us now. "Is he the reason?" He asked again but this time it was more than anger. He pulled my hair when I didn't answer.

"No!! No!!" I cried. The next thing I felt was his hands slapping my right cheek. I could not make my balance, and fell into Alex's arms. He helped me stand straight. I saw Dean coming from behind with a bottle of water.

"Time to make a move now. Today you have a lot to do. Now be a good girl and come" Kevin said. Tears rolled down really quick. The next thing I realised was Kevin was on ground. Alex had punched him. They both got into a fight. I begged Alex to let go of Kevin. Kevin was not able to fight back. Finally Alex left him and pulled me up.

"I'm not gonna forgive you... You will be punished Vern. Mark my works."

"Don't even try to come close to her" Alex exclaimed. "AND MARK MY WORDS! You can never punish her! Not until I'm dead." Alex roared, Kevin left all three of us. Alex snatched the bottle of water and threw most of the water on my face. I looked up in surprise.

"What's all this?" He asked while he pulled me close with my arms. "Makeover?? Why the fuck are you hiding this?" That's when I realised all my bruises were seen. I closed my eyes. I felt a hell lot of a pain in arms, where Alex was holding.

"Alex you are hurting me." I cried. He left my arms and took a step back. My eyes connected his. His eye were a darker brown showing his rage.

"Why?" He asked. I could not answer his question.

"Why?" He asked again a little more pissed and angry. I was scared to answer him.

"WHY DON'T YOU FUCKIN ANSWER ME DAMN IT. I'M ASKING YOU WHY?"

"BECAUSE I'M SCARED. Because.... I'm forced to." I screamed removing all my anger on him. Tears rolled down my eyes faster now. "I cannot see anyone die. What do you think, I did all this on my own will? NO! You have no idea what I went through......
