Fires Collided

We all went to our seperate ways and they went to their own club tower.Me,Alex and Silver were walking to our club tower when Juniper stopped us."You two leave."He was drunk."Juniper you're drunk.Let's go."But he threw Silver away.I got Alex behind me."Crooks you're drunk.Please let us take you to your room."He was walking towards me and I was stepping backwards.I whispered to Alex."Leave.Please leave."But he didn't.He got me and slammed me to the wall.He wasn't choking me but he kept his hand around my neck.Wehn Alex tried to get him off of me he threw rocks at him."Juniper please he's a first year.Please!Don't!"He turned to me.He got his hand off of me but he kept touching me and kissing me other than my lips.I tried to push him away.I hit him I tried to kick him but he got vines to hold my body at his will."Juniper stop.Please!I'm begging you stop."He tilted his head up from my collar bone."If you're mine act like you're mine.Enjoy this."I started crying and the vines were so tight it hurt."STOP!PLEASE!"

That's when the rest of the team came by.He got distracted.The vines let me go and I was in pain.But before I could get up Rlaph was on him.A couple guys were trying to break them off.James helped me up and stood by me."Alex?!"I turned to James."Silver and Alex."Silver was knocked out and taken to the hospital wing.Alex too by the other team members.Some were trying to keep Ralph and Juniper from fighting."Are you ok?Is there anything you need or want?"I shook my head."I should probably stop them.The guys are having no luck and I'm scared."He nodded and let go of me."CROOKS!STOP!CROOKS GET THE FUCK OFF OF HIM!RALPH YOU TOO!"I tried to get them off of each other.When they were finally done I turned to Ralph and whispered."Thank you.But I should probably take him to the hospital wing.He's drunk too."He was furious my ring was burning me."Please calm down you're burning me."I took the ring off and showed my finger."I just can't believe you're staying by his side after what has been done to you."

"I have to."A couple tears fell.I put the ring back on and took Crooks to the hospital wing.

I-I don't understand.I don't.She's assulted.Sexually assulted!Yet she's taking him to the hospital wing?She should be taking care of herself!This is just not fair!The moment I heard her yelling and begging for Juniper to let her go I started walking faster.Thank God I did.If the rest of the team wasn't there I would've kicked his ass.Even kill him if it wasn't for her begging me to stop.I have never been once fair to her.She slept outside for a whole night waiting for me.Spent a whole day outside again waiting for me.A whole night she slept by my side waiting for me to open my eyes.And I treated her like dirt.She didn't deserve that.I hate the fact that she is engaged to him.He doesn't deserve her.He'll hurt her!He'll break her beyond repair!

I was standing there and James came and tapped on my shoulder."Did I just saw Rose take-""Don't you even dare to finish that sentence Williams!"Then I stormed off.I went to my room and took care of my bruises on my own.I was minding my own business until I heard someone crying in the common area.I silently went outside.

---

I slammed the common area's door.I started crying.I went to the desk and started writing.But it looked more like a doodling.My hands were shaking so bad.I threw the pen away.I messed up the whole desk.My elbows depending on the desk I covered my face.Knowing I have to keep this up I just sent a fire message."How is everything with the alliances?Tell me it's making progress."

And they sent me one back saying it was making progress.I dropped everything.I went up to my room and changed.I didn't tell them about Alex's condition.After I changed I went to the hospital wing.While I was waiting for nurses to inform me I checked up on Ralph.He was still as furious as he was before.It was still slightly burning.So I went inside.I showed them my finger.They mixed a special ointment for a flamekeeper burn."Why is it different?"Nurse gathered her courage together."Because it's an emotional connection.It doesn't just burn a piece of your skin.It burns you.Leaves a magical burn mark on your soul.So we enchant a special ointment to repair them both.You don't have to use it of course.But then that mark will stay on your soul forever.It won't kill the person who wears it but...we still don't recommend it.We want students to be happy and healthy."I nodded."Well thank you.""Oh and don't wear the ring for a couple days.At least not on this finger.It'll heal slowly."I nodded.

The other nurse came."Alex is asking for you.So is Silver hun."I sighed."They're ok?"She nodded."All three of them are perfectly fine.But I should've guessed ealier.Partying.Drunk.Teenagers running around the school.I should've known better."I sighed."Alex's bed.Can you lead me to him?"She nodded.Then she noticed the vine bruises."You should get those checked out.They don't look so good."I checked my wrists."Maybe I should."I followed her to the shelves.She put some cream on them and it felt cold.But then I got used to it and nurse took me to Alex."Are you ok?How is your head?Or you ribs?Why didn't you just leave when I told you to?!"He sighed."With Silver knocked out you needed help.Whether you like it or not we had an agreement.You let me be there for you and I don't poke my nose into your business."I nodded."Well this was a dumb move.Anyways...I wrote to grandpa and grandma."With my help he straightened up."What did they say?""They said that they were making progress.They don't know about you or me yet.They might just end up coming here and cancel the whole thing altogether.""Uh...but they should!This is not good for you."I nodded.

"I know that.But I have no choice.It's either this or things get worse.I just want you to get your grandparents and parents back.I want to get my grandparents back too.But I see how upset you are when you don't recieve a letter.I can live like that but I don't want you to get used to not recieving something."I gave a soft smile."Now please scooch over you pooch."He did and he slept on my chest.He likes using me as a pillow.He's a big softie in disguise.
