Ryder

It took every ounce of control he had in his body to not destroy the little blonde then and there, but he had just fixed his relationship with Ash and he wasn't going to ruin it over her stupid brother. There were other ways to put him in his place without using his fists. Ryder hadn't even laid a hand on him and he looked ready to pass out. With ease Ryder picked up the smaller boy by his shoulders, bringing him to eye level.

"Listen here beanie bitch, I didn't do anything Ash didn't want me to do. She's not drunk now is she?" He challenged, glaring directly at Jace as he held him above the ground. "Stop telling Ash what to do or next time I'll rearrange your face." The threat was empty, he'd never hurt Jace as long as it upset Ash. He lowered the blond to the floor before turning to Ash, assessing how she handled the situation and if she was upset about him man-handling her brother.

"You okay?"


Alaska

It seemed Alaska would be getting her cardio in for the day in just the first hour of school, the brunette running after Nova to see Jace screaming at her brother. Her first instinct was to punch, but she'd let Ryder handle this one. Nova might not be too happy if she punched her boyfriend. She was almost proud of Ryder as he gave the smaller boy a stern talking to instead of immediately breaking his jaw. Alaska wouldn't have had that much self-restraint.

She watched as Ryder quickly turned to Ash, forgetting Jace completely. "If you touch my brother or hurt Nova I'll break you." She spoke, offering her friend a smile as she reassured her she wouldn't break her boyfriend. Yet.

Jace

The last thing he'd wanted was for Nova to see him like this. And as much as he wanted to keep yelling at Ryder, well, Nova was always more important. So he backed down, looking at her as all the anger faded from his face. He hated how awkward it was between the two of them, and he had just wanted to find her and apologize today -- not walk along and find this. The day wasn't supposed to go like this, although when did any day go happily here?

When Ryder picked him up, Jace's eyes widened way too much and he was pretty sure he was about to just be tossed into the wall and break in two. Instead, Ryder just talked to him, which was almost worst. Beanie bitch. How rude and unoriginal. Who would ever think of something that stupid as an insult? Once situated safely back on the ground, Jace regained some of his composure and figured hey, he wasn't broken yet. Why not push his luck even more? "I will but I swear to god if you send her home crying again, I will somehow destroy you." Okay, so he wouldn't be able to, but whatever.

"You're an only child, Nova. You don't understand." Jace shook his head. "Ash always dates these kind of guys. The stupid player who only cares about himself, and then she gets her heart broken. Every single time. I'm sick of holding my little sister while she cries and blames herself because some shitty ass dude made her feel worthless." His face hardened as he spoke. "I spent too long sitting by the sidelines letting her get her heart broken. I'm not doing it anymore."

Jace then ultimately ignored Alaska, shooting one last glare at Ash. "I'm not going to be there this time, Ash." He spat, shot one last glare around at everyone, and then stomped off back the way he had come.

-------------------------

Drake

Even if him and Nova had just become friends, he remembered what she had told him about being uncomfortable around the yelling and arguing and whatever. So Drake figured there was only one thing to do, and that was to attempt hugs, but also to preach his favorite thing in the world. Happiness and love. Standing a couple feet behind the others, he quickly took out the little bottle of prescription painkillers, dumped a few in his hand, swallowed them, and replaced the bottle into his pocket.

Drake stepped forward, trying to both stop this fight and also avoid getting hit. Although once he had gotten forward, Jace was hovering in the air, and soon the angry blonde boy had stormed off. So Drake instead wrapped his arms around Nova, pulling her close. "Hey, look, I'm sorry you had to see this. Are you okay?" He squeezed her again and then pulled back, looking at her face to check on her. "I remember you don't like yelling. Do you wanna go somewhere and just calm down?"

As he spoke with Nova, he glanced at Alaska, hoping the angry girl could calm herself enough to come over and help Drake comfort their new third best friend.

-----------------------------------

Ash

Good lord. Ash had a crush on a freaking titan. When he lifted Jace up, her jaw dropped open in shock, and she could barely even comprehend what was happening. Jace had picked the wrong person to argue with, but Ash was glad that Ryder didn't try to punch him, and instead just fought him with words. He'd actually listened to her, and for Ash, that meant a lot.

Once Jace was back on the ground and had brought up the many times (it had literally been just like two or three times, okay) that she'd been through a bad breakup. Every time, Ash would go to Jace's room and eat ice cream and talk about everything they'd hated about the guy. It always made her feel better, and now here Jace was, saying that he was sick of doing it and done being there for her when she got hurt. Which obviously made her feel marvelous.

Her eyes turned away from her brother to look at Ryder, and she blinked at him, thinking about the question that seemed to be the only thing Ryder said to her these days. "I... I don't... I don't know..." Ash admitted. She had no idea what to even think of everything that had just happened. Plus, Nova had stood up to Jace, despite Ash having called her a thirsty bitch. Ouch. She still needed to apologize for that, but right now... right now, she felt like she was in shock.

"Thank you for not punching him. Seriously." Ash smiled at Ryder. God, she wished that she could hug him or kiss him in public, but-- ... Oh, whatever. It wasn't like her reputation could get much worse. So Ash threw her arms around Ryder, hugging him tightly. "I'll be fine. Thank you. And I'm sorry about him."

Angelina Nikki



"Nothing is wrong...I just want to take you out" Rory told her. Angelina's shook her head slowly in defiance, knowing better. She knew there was more to this. The fact that he wasn't telling her broke her heart even more. She felt more tears streak down her face. She shook her head again, without realising. "Rory, what's going on with you? Tell me" Angelina begged, taking off her glasses and wiping her eyes gently.

"Rory, one of the things all my exes did is was tell me lies. Like you're doing now". She put a hand on his shoulder, rubbing it gently and reassuringly, looking up at him, into his eyes, putting her glasses up on her forehead."Look into my eyes and tell me. Please. I love you so much and I want to help you". Angelina had to turn away to sneeze again, nearly doubling over again. Turning back round, she looked back into his eyes. "Are you going to tell me what's going on"?

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]Neck Tie had asked his dad to drop him off at school earlier than usual. Then he got the keys to the music room from the front office and settled down at the piano. Neck Tie propped his backpack up by the piano’s side and gently raised the fall board and spent a good while tweaking and adjusting the height of the seat.

Once he was happy with the way he was sitting, he straightened his back, rolled his neck theatrically, stretched his arms and flicked his wrists. Then he breathed into his hands before curving them like he was holding an orange, like his piano teacher Mrs. Evans used to tell him to, before bringing his fingertips to bear upon the white keys.

Neck Tie warmed up with some scales and drills that he could still remember. He felt pretty good about himself that he could still play the C major scale with both hands, followed by an arpeggio or two. He couldn't wait to impress his new musical buddies at lunch time, and at this rate Jace was going to be very pleased with his progress. Then he took the music for the show out of his backpack, and stared at it silently, pondering over the complex symbols for a good ten minutes. Well shit.

Wendy Williams



Wendy had received her paycheck last night, which felt like a sudden blessing. Although most of the money would be going towards her brother's hospital bills. If only they both were still in England; no hospital bills and free healthcare. Regardless, her brother's hospital bills being paid eased her mind a little. Her own bills and mortgage were low this month, thank goodness, so they were covered. So that meant some spare money for her. Maybe she could get a decent dinner tonight; a full takeaway and no more microwaved meals. And some gentle sleep. One step closer to her brother's recovery.

Maybe I can visit him later without feeling like I'm letting him down. And we can discuss future plans.

All of these thoughts and possibilities set Wendy astray and found herself in the music room. Great. Good focus, Wendy. Hearing a piano being played, she turned to see a blond, spiky-haired guy sitting in front of it. He seemed to be playing one, major, chord, followed by a few descending and ascending notes. Wendy couldn't remember the name for the term. It'd been so long since she played an instrument; her guitar mainly. Or done any music lessons and theories. She responds to this guy's playing with a modest round of applause.

"Bravo. Quite a piece there. Are you rehearsing"?

She approached the boy, keeping her bag on her shoulder. In any other circumstances, she would've walked out but she was drawn in. Back into the world of music; a world seemingly distant to her. "I can't play piano but I know a few chords on guitar. What song are you planning on playing"?

Nova
​

No, she wasn't okay. In fact, as Drake came and wrapped her up tight, Nova nearly crumbled, her eyes watering and her lower lip quivering just a bit. She didn't want this, this feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling her that she needed a place to hide, that she needed to seriously think about changing schools. The brunette could feel her anxiety bubbling in her chest, and no, it wasn't just because of her boyfriend being physically lifted off of the ground by a man she was defending, but because of what her boyfriend had said. Of course Nova knew she didn't have siblings, but she couldn't help but feel that dull aching pain in her chest as she thought of the closest thing she had had to one... Ryan Brookes. Her best friend, the boy she grew up with, the boy that taught her what a crush was, and how to sneak in watching late night TV, the boy was got taken from her way too soon. Ryan had been her brother, and damn if she was going to sit here and be told that she didn't understand.

But right now, she wasn't defensive. Nova wasn't in the mood to shout back or make a remark. She simply watched Jace disappear down the hall and the minute she was out of sight, the brunette decided it was okay to fall apart just a little. Drake was willing to comfort her it seemed, so that would be that. He had officially signed up for the position. Going somewhere sounded great, going anywhere away from his stupid hallway sounded great. Weakly, Nova looked at Drake with welling hazels, her eyes momentarily drifting to Alaska. These two had been so nice to her, so incredibly welcoming and she was almost worried that she was in danger of losing the two.

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]When a girl came through the door, Neck Tie legit thought she was going to tell him off for playing the piano badly. And when she applauded, saying bravo at his stupid chords, he was sure she was just being sarcastic.

But now the girl was standing by him at the piano, taking a real interest in his music. Neck Tie blushed so red his hands froze over the keys. Maybe Jace was right after all! You really could get all the girls just by playing music. That fact alone made him want to get even better at the instrument. He was going to tell Jace all about it at lunchtime.

When the light-haired girl spoke, Neck Tie’s ears went up in a surprise like a puppy’s. ‘Cor, are you English?!’ He hadn’t met another English kid since forever and this made him really happy for some reason. Not just that, but her accent was also posh, just like his! ‘That’s brilliant. I’m from England too, I am! From Gloucestershire actually. From the Cotswolds. Chipping Campden. . .’ He triangulated on his location like a satellite zooming in on his house’s roof. ‘How I wonder where you’re from. . . Have you ever been to the Cotswolds?’

Neck Tie was going to impress nobody playing those stupid chords. So instead, he played her a passage of Beethoven’s Fur Elise which he still remembered. Just the first five bars, because that was all he could recall. No problem. He just repeated those bars over and over hoping it would end up sounding like a complete song. When he couldn't figure out how to close the piece, he just slowly faded the music away into silence. Quasi niente. That was the Italian term for it.

'I'm trying to play some Beethoven,' he told her, 'Do you like music as well -- do you play?'

Wendy smiled a little as he blushed before clearing her throat. She wasn't being sarcastic with her comment. Mayve overdramatical but not sarcastic. For once. She felt a little bad when the guy blushed; it wasn't her intention. But his blush was alluring. She found herself lowering her head quickly before trying to clear her head. But that thought was embedded in the back of her mind now. Then his British accent made her look back up at him. Another Brit. She didn't feel as alone as she once felt. And she could tell he took notice of her own. She liked his too; it was surprisingly gentle and not immature, which was a great change from the other accents she'd heard back in Essex. Him explaining he was, evidently, from England made Wendy smile more.

"How I wonder where you’re from. . . Have you ever been to the Cotswolds?" He asked after naming a variety of other English towns. Probably in his region.
"No, no I've never been. Nor have I heard of such an enigmatic place. I'm from South England. Essex, specifically. Before she could say anything else, the guy started playing a piece. It sounded elegant and pleasant to the ear. She liked the fade-out at the end, as well.

"I'm trying to play some Beethoven,' he told her, 'Do you like music as well? Do you play?" He asked her, Wendy going a little stiff.
"I used to play guitar. But that was a long time ago. I haven't... had the best opportunity to pick it back up again. Like I said, though, just a few chords". Wendy flipped her hair back over her shoulder and sniffled quietly, still dealing with the remnants of her cold. "I... I used to sing as well". Now it was time for Wendy to blush. "But I'm considering quitting music, for a time". Her thoughts were rushing through her head, accelerating even. This guy's blush, his explanation of his home town, the talk of music. She tried, desperately, to compose herself and dissipate her sudden adrenaline rush.

No. No, Wendy, his blush is not alluring. His blush is just too conspicuous is all. And he's just a show-off. You're not feeling anything; it is just the Coffee you had earlier finally kicking in.

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]‘You’ve really never heard of the Cotswolds?’ Neck Tie raised an eyebrow. The Cotswolds wasn’t something you would call enigmatic. Sure the rolling hills and plains were nice. But they were hardly an enigma. ‘I thought Essex was in the east,’ he said curiously, ‘Isn’t that why they called it East Saxon?’ Neck Tie thought maybe Wendy hadn’t lived in England for a while, since she didn’t seem to know the geography very well.

Wendy told him that she used to sing, to which he replied happily, ‘I sing as well! Are you in the musical? I didn’t see you on Monday at rehearsal. . . I think we’re supposed to have another rehearsal tomorrow. I’m doing the music for it. I mean, Jace and Nova mostly, but I’m helping them out.’

The boy turned away from the girl, completely oblivious to her rising emotions, and tickled the ivories some more. ‘I wish I could play the guitar,’ he said with a pensive sigh. He really wished he was better at music. But maybe he could ask Jace to teach him a few chords on the guitar sometime. ‘You shouldn’t quit though. I think music’s really cool.’ He looked at her again and smiled faintly.

Rory Quinn
He didn't want Angelina to know that he was slowly breaking into pieces. He was supposed to strong for her but right now it was impossible. For now he was just living by the seat of his pants waiting for appointment. "I don't want you to worry about me", he confessed
feeling a bit agitated.

Rory didn't want to be like Angelina's old boyfriend he wanted to the best. So maybe he should tell Angelina everything he has went through. Maybe he should break down in her arms and cry about his brother and how he kidnapped by two people who were determined to love him. How they promised to never let him go down the dark past Jayden went to. How they locked him away from the real world and now despite being sixteen he still feel like a lost child navigating the world all by himself.

Instead of saying all that he just took Angelina into an embrace.

Wendy would have scolded this guy for being a smart arse but she was still trying to compose herself. She was still full of adrenaline and hormones. It didn't help that he elaborated on her singing and that damned play. She shrugged when he said he didn't see her at the rehearsal; she left after getting shoved by that Korean brunette. Wendy didn't give the play much thought, in general, since she her life was prioritized in so many other crucial areas. Once her brother was out of hospital, Wendy would start focusing on classes. Not much else mattered right now to her... right now. Not replying to any of his comments, she was a tad agitated as he turned back to the piano.

‘You shouldn’t quit though. I think music’s really cool.' He said to her. Wendy shrugged again, sniffling quietly and wiping her nose against a crumpled tissue.
"I have other priorities right now. Music isn't even on my top ten list. That can wait. Dreams can wait. Family comes first. Or whatever family you know and have abundant amounts of respect for".

Angelina couldn't believe what Rory said. Don't worry about him? She was past that point; she was crying her eyes out for him. Why couldn't he just tell her what was wrong, at least? She was struggling to stay composed right now. Her heart was aching for him; she loved him with all her life. Yet she didn't feel like he realised that. And it was hurting her. Severely. Even when he pulled her into his embrace. She just cried again, burying her face into his chest.

"I need help and I'm getting it after school. I'm going to become the man you deserve".

Angelina tensed up after he said that. She shook her head, her face still against his chest. Why is Rory speaking so cryptically? So secretively? It was scaring her now. She lifted her head up, her glasses tilting back against her head. "Baby, tell me what you mean by that. All of it. Please. You can tell me; I'm your girlfriend. Your love. I've never been dishonest to you and always answered your questions. Why can't you do the same with me? We both said we want honesty in our relationship. No secrets either. So why are you compromising all of that"? Angelina stroked his cheek, still crying. She looked right into his eyes. "Tell me".

Then she kind of got all serious really quickly, talking about dreams and family and respect and all that, and Neck Tie didn’t understand if it was something he’d said or if he had upset her. By now he was panicking a little too. He thought he’d made it all awkward.

Neck Tie wanted to leave. Like he was literally dying to get out of the room. But he didn’t want to be rude either, so he stayed. ‘I can also play chopsticks,’ he told her, passing her a small smile. ‘Do you want to hear it? I’m not very good. . . but I can show you how to play some easy tunes, if you like.’

Wendy regretted staying quiet and, then, going off on one. She felt like a grade A sket. Then the guy said he could play with chopsticks. His own smile made her smile more. She nodded at the statement, pocketing her tissue. Making a mental note to remain calm, Wendy pushed all the thoughts she had about this guy aside, clearing her throat again.

‘Do you want to hear it? I’m not very good. . . but I can show you how to play some easy tunes, if you like.'

Wendy nodded again, smiling a little bit more as she offered something. "Want me to sing? If you don't want to. Or... I could sing with you. But I'm not sure if you'll like my voice... or something. I have a cold... and that could... mess up my performance. But I will try my damnedest". She was a flustered wreck again within a matter of a minute. "Can you play some John Lennon? He's my favourite music artist. Any of his songs. I know them all".

Jace

He was having a rough day, there was no doubt about it. And Jace's only salvation was the music room, where his guitar and music supplies were waiting for him. The only thing that would really bring him peace until he was able to make up with Nova was playing his guitar, or working on the music for the stupid musical.

So Jace stomped into the music room, spotting Stu looking uncomfortable out of the corner of his eye by the piano. "Girls are stupid!" He yelled, not even noticing Wendy. "Guys are stupid, too! Dating is stupid! Everything is stupid." Frustrated, he plopped himself down on the table, and picked up his guitar, sliding the strap over his head and situating it comfortably against him.

"How am I even supposed to apologize for this to Nova?" Jace had no idea as he pulled some of his sheets out an set them next to him. He started to play the opening music to Summer Nights, and started to calm down as he did so, his gaze finally moving from the guitar and sheet music to Stu and whoever this pale haired girl was, his fingers still playing the guitar as he did so. "Seriously. How am I supposed to do the music for this with her?"

June
​

June didn’t wait for long that night. She snuck into her house, avoiding anyone and everyone. She stayed in her room, looking at her blog on her phone and seeing the amount of views it had gotten. She sighed and pressed her hands against her eyes. How can I make it up to them? No, I can’t. There’s no way I can. She lifted her hands up again and looked at them. But, I’ll start by protecting them.

Curling her hands into fist she got out of the bed, she changed and put on a hoodie, covering her head as she made it slowly down the stairs and to the car keys. She took a deep breath, muttering a sorry to Grace before grabbing her keys. She was lucky David had brought the car back. There’s no way she could get there without it. Making her way over she paused as she glanced at her phone. Raven had wanted to talk, but she needed to deny it. There’s no way she would allow Georgia another victory over her. She was going to get to the bottom of it and go to the source. Once she put the car keys into the ignition, she felt a fear seize her. Her hands shook as she placed them on the wheel. What if she died? What would everything think? What would her mother think? To lose her only daughter.

Despite these thoughts, she rolled out and pressed on the gas.



June made her slow way down the steep hill. She parked her car on the lip of it, the road no one ever used, besides the bridge no one ever used. She saw Georgia her back to her, sitting on the rocks. June stopped besides Georgia’s truck leaning on the back of it. “Hey. I’m here.” June seemed calm on the outside, but she was afraid beyond belief.

Georgia smiled as she turned around holding June’s camera. “It takes great pictures.” As soon as she said it, she raised it up and smashed it against the rocks. June flinched walking towards her slightly. Georgia smiled as she cracked the lens and threw it behind her into the pond that had developed from the deep holes.



“That was just a demonstration.” She started to walk to June. “Ruby was always soft on you. Everyone is also soft on you, but you’re really a—“

“Don’t talk about Ruby.” Georgia paused, very close to her. June stared at her. “Don’t talk about her or anyone for that matter. It’ll only be between me and you.”
Georgia smiled before her fist collided with June’s face, causing her to fall back. She clutched the back of the truck and flared up at Georgia. “No one tells me what to do, Little Red. I’ll hurt whoever I want.”

Instantly, June jumped out and forced Georgia to the ground. She closed her hand into a fist and started to punch her, randomly hitting and not hitting her.

Georgia grits her teeth before shoving June off, causing her to fall back. “You have no idea what you just did.”

Wendy was quiet and anticipating Stu's performance. She was excited for it, although she was nervous about singing. She hasn't sung, properly, for a long time. Last time she did, she was singing softly to her brother to help him sleep. But she wanted to sing, deep down. She sung a few practise notes, trying to get her voice steady.

That's when another guy stormed in and went on a verbal tyrade about a lot of things. Also about someone who was named Nova. Maybe she was his best friend or crush. Someone significant, evidently. But his last comment was directed at herself. She was taken aback a little. She looked at him with renewed annoyance. "Excuse me, we were going to do a practical ourselves. If I'm that much of a hinderence, you can block me out. And my name is Wendy".

Maybe she missed an alert, or.. June just didn’t want to talk to her about it. Raven didn’t believe that, she seemed like the kind of girl who tried to fix problems, not ignore them.

“Let’s see what you’re up to.” She spoke to herself, gaining a weird look from Nancy. Although she didn’t care enough to elaborate. Pulling up social media, she went to check June’s location. She furrowed her brows at the result. What kind of shady.. what is she doing there?

“Hey, you’re staying late right?” Raven asked Nancy, getting up from her seat. “Yeah, but-“ Raven waved her off while putting on her coat. “Don’t worry about it. Be back soon.” Walking outside, and stopping short when she realized she didn’t have a car.

She shook her head putting the phone to her ear. After a few rings, She spoke. “Rivera.” She sighed heavily, “I need your help.” Unfortunately, Raven was sure he’d help with June. Even though he was pissed, he probably cared.

And for the life of him, he couldn't find his pain pills, so he'd been just gritting his teeth and pushing his way through every day as well as he could.


So he was now sprawled out in bed, smoking a cigarette, and scrolling through the rather boring Twitter that he was just starting to understand. And then out of nowhere, his phone rang with a number he only recognized from his cast. Mason flailed, dropping the phone on his face.


He cursed to himself, and then picked up his phone and answered it, frowning when Raven said she needed him. Mason got a sort of smirky half-smile on his face. "I knew it. You couldn't resist me forever."​

“God, Mason. Are you gonna help or not?” Raven was growing impatient.

She didn’t wait for a reply, “Okay, great. See you here.” Raven hung up, texting him her address. If Mason was at least half of a decent human being she didn’t think he was, he’ll show up.

[IMG='align:right;']https://i.imgur.com/5Mi2tyB.png[/IMG]Boy was Neck Tie glad to see Jace storming through the door like his personal knight in shining armour. OK so Jace sounded pretty upset again, but at least he was yelling his grievances rather than bawling his eyes out like yesterday. ‘What’s wrong, Jace?’ said Neck Tie, turning away from the piano to see his friend in the yellow beanie now sat on the table balancing his guitar on his lap.

He listened to Jace play the guitar, watching closely how his fingers floated and danced over the strings. Well Jace really knew how to blow off steam and calm himself down with music. Neck Tie could never do that with the piano, because he would just stress out trying to find the right notes. He just wished he was a bit better at this whole music making business.

The light-haired girl got pretty upset about Jace’s stormy entrance, though. It sounded like she was going to start something with him, so it was high time for a Neck-Tie intervention. ‘Jace is my friend,’ he said, sliding off the piano stool, ‘He’s really awesome. He’s been teaching me how to read chords and all that.’

Neck Tie walked up to Jace, strategically placing his body between Wendy and him and leaning his back against the table that Jace was sitting on. ‘You really got to do it, though, Jace. . . I bet she's waiting for you right now. You know. . . I could go see her with you if you like. I’ll back you up, we can figure it out together!’ he suggested.

Before she knew it, Georgia’s hands were around her throat. She immediately grabbed her arms trying to pry them off until she heard Georgia speak. “Ruby was my everything! I cared so much about her and in the end that didn’t even matter huh?” Georgia shouted.

June let out of her arms, feeling the ground around her. Her finger brushed over a rock and she immediately dug it out from the dirt. She bashed it as hard as she could against Georgia’s head and immediately took a big gasp of air as Georgia got off of her. “You’re crazy...” June breathed out. “It was never about you and Ruby. Ruby didn’t know what to do,” She coughed again rubbing her neck.

Georgia frowned and got up, kicking June in the stomach before grabbing her hair. Forcing her up. “She came to you. And what did you do?” June struggled to get away from her, pain radiating everywhere. But she still clawed at her. “SAY IT!” Georgia threw June to the side making her fall halfway into the pond.

June winced as she slowly started to get up. “I... I didn’t do anything.” June managed out then locked eyes on Georgia. “You don’t think I regret it.”

Georgia wiped some of the blood from the side of her head. “Regret isn’t what I want you to feel. I want you to suffer. Just like Ruby had. Just like I had. Suffering at my own hands.” Georgia immediately charged at her again, June moved and managed to grab her jacket, she used her elbow and managed to land a blow somewhere before Georgia reached out and shoved her back. June stumbled a little on the muddy ground eventually moving back to Georgia’s car to lean on it. She needed to leave. She turned around for a moment and saw Georgia turn with a glint appearing in her hand.

Mason

Before Mason could even respond, Raven had hung up and texted him her address. He cursed to himself, sitting up in bed and putting his cigarette out in the ash tray next to his bed. Mason had no car, but he could definitely get one, so he went over to Drake's bed and pulled all the bags of drugs he had hidden under his bed. Damn his brother had a problem and-- wait, there were his painkillers.

Cursing under his breath once more, Mason picked up the bag, pocketing his own pills, and slipped on his boots and headed out of the apartment. Mason headed downstairs limping as he did so, and went to the neighbors whose apartment was under theirs.

Mason knocked on the door and stepped back, waiting until he opened the door. "Hey. Drake got more drugs, but uh, I'd rather him not. Want 'em?" He asked, holding out the plastic bag of weed and other things.

The dude looked at him suspiciously, but took the bag, looking through it. "Sure. Thanks." He said, slamming the door. Mason could hear him telling his also addict girlfriend, and he knew they'd be so hopped up all night they wouldn't notice their missing car.

Mason headed over to their car, glad that it was unlocked, and then carefully hotwired it. It had been a while since he'd done something illegal like this, but it came back to him easily like riding a bike and within a few minutes, he was on the road heading towards Raven's house.

He said nothing as he stopped in front of her house, holding down the horn until she came out, hopped in, and told him where to go. Soon, the two were pulling up besides a very familiar looking Jeep.​

Raven

Raven got into the car, glaring at him as she did so. “Shouldn’t make so much noise.” At least not here.. She furrowed her brows. “I forgot that you didn’t have a car.” Looking at him curiously, “How did you..” she shook her head. “Nevermind.” Who cared? They were getting there, it didn’t matter how. Giving him directions as they got there.

Stepping out of the car, she saw Grace’s jeep. But no sign of June. She bit her lip, looking around for the red-head. Until her eyes finally landed on her, leaning on a car she didn’t recognize. She didn’t look good at all.. Raven quickly made her way there. “June! What-“ she noticed the girl off to the side. “Georgia? What are you..” Raven trailed off, her eyes landing on whatever she had in her hand.​

Drake

He hated seeing his new friend like this, all sad and in his arms. Drake looked towards Alaska with a gaze that basically was pleading for assistance, then Drake just put an arm around her shoulders and led her away from the scene. He knew they needed somewhere at least a little private, but there was no way he would be tacky enough to take both girls into a closet for hugs.

Instead, Drake led Nova and Alaska into the girls' bathroom. A few of the girls stopped talking and looked at him in some disgust. "I like boys!" he yelled at them, leaving out the part about also liking girls. They muttered to themselves and hurried out, and Drake turned back to Nova.

"Hey, do you want to talk about it, or just hug and talk about how stupid boys are?" Drake asked, his arm still around her shoulders as he looked down at her, worry in his pale silvery-blue eyes as he looked between her and Alaska.

Jace

He pretty much just ignored this Wendy girl, instead mainly focusing on his new buddy, Stu. Jace's original plans of getting through this last year of high school with no one has suddenly flopped, and now he had a girlfriend and Stu. Life sucked.

"I don't know, Stu. Like, what would even make Nova like me again?" Jace groaned and continued to play the song. He missed a few notes here and there, and quietly cursed to himself about it before starting over. God, he hated this whole stupid musical idea and wished he'd never been forced to do it. "Like, should I apologize?"

Okay, well that question sounded stupid. "I mean, maybe if I just apologize to Ryder and then her, that'll work. Apologies mean a lot, right?" But as he continued questioning it, he started to think that no matter what, there was no coming back from this.​
