Kitten started running out of the concert hall as fast as she could without looking at the reaction of the audience.
Lucas slowly stood up as he watched her backs, the neon light in his hands slowly fell.
” What’s happening?. I thought we were all happy and cheerful a while ago?” His subconscious thought.
By then, Leo and the two other band members quickly went towards frankie.
He was already tearing up, covering his nose gently as he sobbed and everyone began filming the whole thing.
” Are you okay, frank?” Leo was the first to ask.
” Just cancel the whole concert. Tell the manager to close down the auditorium before 9″ He sniffed tiredly and Leo quickly left as he said.
Jinx quickly picked up a bottle of water.
” Do you..”
” Take them away, okay!. I’m trying to be in a normal state of mind or else..” He bit his lip and picked the bottle of water from him harshly.
He opened it and it poured all over his own hair and face, then he returned the bottle of water to him.
” I’ll be in my room for the next coming decades!” He scowled before walking away quickly.
Blue watched him leave before turning to Jinx.
” Damn,He’s super mad” He said.
” The mansion is going to tear up with fire soon. I think what’s best for us is, we could probably rent an hotel in public to stay there until he calms down cos last heartbreak he got wasn’t funny” He said.
” You scared of Frankie?. Come on, that’s the last thing we should do” Blue said and something huge broke behind the stage curtain.
” See, I told you he’s going nuts. Kitten really did this one to him, it was just a hell of embarrassment. I just hope he doesn’t commit sucide after this”
” Me too” Blue added.
However, Kitten got out and luckily, her car was at the side of the road.
She quickly ran into her car and Her driver turned to her quickly.
” Miss. Are you okay?” He asked after noticing the uneasy look on her face.
She sighed and threw her head on the headrest, running her fingers into her hair messily.
” I’m not fine. I can’t express how I feel in words anymore.” She sniffed and palmed her face fully. ” I’m breaking people’s heart recently and it’s making me tired of people falling in love with me. I just want to be alone” She sobbed.
” I’m sorry, miss. It’s something young people face this days” He said.
She sniffed and looked out the window to find Kelly running out to her quickly. She got into the backseat of the car and closed back the door.
” Kit!” She leaned close. ” Are you okay?. Why did you suddenly leave the stage that way!. What came into your crazy mind again!” Kelly yelled.
” I’m sorry,I know you guys were expecting me to approve him but…I was not comfortable saying a Yes when I know pretty well that Lucas was watching. I just felt weird for a second and I had to leave there” She started sobbing and Kelly could feel the pain in her voice.
” But That was wrong of you, kit. You left frankie really upset and his fans were literally watching. You could have ignored him nicely not in an embarrassing way!” She yelled.
” Fine!. Its okay. I know my fault. All I want to do right now is get out of here real quick.” She said and turned to the driver.
” Start the car. Let’s leave towards the hostel quickly” She said and he nodded before starting the car, driving away quickly.

The three other boys stayed at the front door while giving frankie some space.
Leo started looking through his phone.
” Geez, The videos are uploaded all over the Internet and it’s going viral. What a mess!” Leo spat.
” I saw that earlier too, people are using it to make fun of you, frankie” Blue said.
” One wrote…You got an heartbreak before you could even claim her. Haha.” Jinx laughed and the other two boys glared at him.
Frankie stared at his blank phone screen as tears fell down his eyes one after the other.
” I shouldn’t be offended tho” He sniffed and turned to the face the boys. ” I’ve gone through so many heartbreak, I’m sure I’ll be able to go through this one” He smiled.
” That smile looks ridiculous” Leo pointed.
” I don’t think kitten would probably come back to you. She seems into lucas now, frankie, maybe you should just quit loving her” Jinx added.
” Quit loving her?” Frankie asked and he sniffed, covering his nose with the edge of his finger.
” A..are you okay?” Jinx asked carefully.
” Look guys. I’m totally fine, I’m not bothered about those stuffs anymore…” He said and tried to walk away but his leg failed him. The boys quickly held him.
” Frank. Are you okay?” Leo asked.
” Sure, Sure” He waved and they left hold of him. He stood on his feet and tried to walk but he slumped to the ground again.
” Frankie!!!” They all rushed to him quickly.

Kitten came out of the shower dressed in her silk night dress, and Kelly sat up quickly.
” How’d you feel now?. Is the headache over?” She asked and kitten sat on the bed vehemently.
” I just don’t know. I feel sick in the throat and I can feel my brain in my stomach. I feel so awful, I can’t even look at people’s face anymore” She pouted, covering her face shamefully.
Kelly kept her Teddy and crawled towards her.
” You’re going to be fine kit, I’m sure all you need is a warm hug, something to cheer you up” She said, widening her arms and kitten hugged her, throwing her down on the bed.
” Kitten!!” She laughed.
” You’re so soft. No wonder Leo hugs you everytime, he’s really lucky. This is enough to make me feel better” She smiled and kelly started stroking her head gently.
” I love you so much, sis!” She smiled.
” I love you too, my second mummy” Kitten said and kelly started to giggle.
A car was dropping into the flat and kitten rushed down the bed towards the window.
She met Lucas dropping down the car and Karen followed out, they were carrying groceries bag. It seems they went to shop.
She quickly grabbed the key from the table and opened the door, stepping out as well.
” L..Lucas!” She said, with widened eyes.
Lucas stopped to look at her.
” Evening.” He greeted before walking past her. Karen stared at the two awkwardly before walking towards the door.
She tried to open the door but Lucas gripped her wrist halfway
” Don’t worry, step back. I’ll help with the door” He said.
” But you’ve already helped me shop my groceries and your hands are full” Karen said with a light chuckle.
” You just fixed your nails, I don’t want my door knob ruining your cute fingers” He said and fixed the key in before turning it down.
” Here. You can go in now” He smiled and she blushed really red.
” You’re such a cute gentleman” She chuckled as she walked in.
Lucas took off his shoes and looked up only to find kitten still standing there. She gulped in slowly and stepped back looking a bit nervous.
” Why are you just standing there?.” He asked.
” Um…I…I..” She stuttered and he grinned his lower teeth in anger.
” Don’t even start. It’s over, kit. When I say it’s over, I mean it. Starting afresh is what I’ll do” He said and took off his other shoes, left only on socks.
” Where’s your kpop idol?. I thought he wanted to prepare a concert for you that would last forever” Lucas spat before turning the knob, he tried to walk in but he stopped, looking at her again.
“Probably close your jaw before a bee gets in too” He said and walked in quickly.
Kitten touched her chin and realised that her mouth was widely open. She bit her lips tight before running into her room quickly.
” No!!!!” She cried, climbing up the bed recklessly and Kelly covered her face with her teddy.
” Kitten would not let me sleep when I try to stay in my hostel. Leo won’t let me sleep as well with his lips trailing on my back. Should I go sleep under the bridge then!!” She yelled.
” Lucas!!!!” Kitten yelled again and Kelly fell off the bed quickly.
She picked up her pillow and Teddy and turned to Kitten with a fierce but adorable look.
” Goodnight, you hear?!. I’m calling Leo to pick me up right now, don’t call me when your senses comes back to life!!” She yelled and left the hostel quickly.

Lucas took out the chair and sat infront of Karen, leaning on the table while looking straight into her eyes.
She stopped eating and raises her lashes to look at him.
” Why the intense stare?” She cleaned her lips, blinking at him.
” I still don’t get it. What you told me in the morning about Miles and the queen?. What do you mean?” He asked.
She took a sip of her drink and sighed.
” Hold on” She said and took out her pen from her bag before writing something in her palm, stretching it to him.
He took her hands and read the words before looking at her with a raised brow.
” You have…
” Shhh!!!” She hushed him and he sat up, speaking more quietly.
” You have a recording and tracking device chip implanted in you?” He whispered and she nodded.
” Really?. How’s that even possible?” He asked further.
” I have no idea as well. And Yes, they usually use this against me sometimes. That’s why I pretend not to know anything and my lips are zipped up” She said.
” Damn!, I’ve got to meet that Miles in person again. I think we have business to do” He spat.
” No!” She gasped, holding his wrist. ” He’s a very dangerous person. I also heard he had issues in the past with the CeCe family. And the queen is after yours.The whole thing is just too complicated, I’m scared for my life and the life of people he’s been attacking” She said.
He sighed and looked at her.
” Where does he stay anyways?” He asked.
She struggled to speak up before looking up at him.
” If you come after him, he’ll know I’m responsible. Please just forget about it, please” She begged.
” If I don’t kill him, No one will.” He said.
” What if he tries to hurt me!” She said.
” He wouldn’t dare. Trust me, I’m much more powerful than you think” He said.
She sighed and picked up her pen but he held her hand firmly, stopping her from doing anything further.
” Speak up. You should stop being afraid cos you’re a very tough girl. I know that” He said and she smiled redly.
” He lives at the…” She cut off and paid attention to the noise she was hearing.
” What’s that?” He asked.
” Aren’t you hearing that sound?. Someone is crying in the other room” She said and Lucas stood up quickly.
He leaned on the wall and realised it was no one else but kitten’s sobs.
He palmed his forehead and started chuckling loudly.
” Geez. Drama queen is on it again” He said.
” Are you guys fighting or what?” She asked.
” It’s a long story. Just forget about it” He waved his hands and started taking the stairs.
Karen palmed her cheeks as she watched him leave, after a while, She picked her phone and dailed Miles number.
” Hello miles,,,
” Karen?”
” I didn’t tell him anything yet. We seem covered.” She said.
” Good. When we are done with this task, I promise to take off your mask” He said and she smiled satisfyingly.

Kelly knocked on the door of Leo’s room and he walked out already on his nightie, surprised to see her.
” Babe?” His brows rose as he stared at her body. She was on that nightie again and his body was starting to feel crazy.
” I was trying to reach your phone. You weren’t picking up, why?. I even had to take a cab myself” She said, forming a pout.
He ran his fingers into his messy hair.
” Look, I’ve been….busy…with stuffs. You can’t keep on hanging out with me all the time. I also need sometime for myself” He sighed.
” But…I just want to spend the night with you. That’s all” She said.
He sighed harder and pulled out the door.
” Come in” He said and she quickly strolled in quickly, a big smile coming on her face. She sank on his bed and turned to face him.
” You watch Netflix too?” She asked, turning to the TV and he picked the remote, turning it off quickly. She faced him with a red look.
” Go to bed. It’s late” He said, climbing the other side of the bed.
” But I want to watch TV?” She pouted.
” Do you know what the time is kelly?” He asked and she fell her back on the bed tiringly.
” You are just being mean all of a sudden” She pouted.
” I hate hearing chattering when I sleep. So please…” He said and she scuttled close to him.
” Please hug me, Leo. I’m cold now” She whispered, poking her fingers on his broad back.
Leo took up the duvet, covering her body properly.
” That will stop the cold. Fine now?” He said and turned to her. ” Okay, right now, I want to sleep, like for real. I beg you to stop….” He suddenly cuts off when she started kissing him.
She hugged his neck and pulled him down and her hand picked his palm, placing it on her hips.
She broke the kiss and looked at him.
” Please touch me, muffin.” She pouted and Leo quickly pulled away from her.
” Goodnight” He said and turned the other way round, sleeping off quickly.
She pouted and hugged her arm.
” You’re being so mean and I don’t like it anymore!. You can’t even kiss me anymore and it’s hurt, it’s hurt!!” She sobbed and looked at him. He wasn’t responding to what she’s saying. He didn’t even twitch.
She hugged her pillow close to her face and succumbed to it dearly.

Kitten walked into school, hugging her books to her chest as she strolled down the hall.
She could see faces of the students paying attention to her, rambling at every corners she passed by. She sighed and started running to class shamefully and getting there, lectures had begun.
She didn’t want to go in or else she’ll get highly embarrassed, so instead, she turned around taking the back stairs. She walked to the school backyard, taking a seat in one of the breaches there.
Just then, She felt a presence behind her and she sprang up, knowing fully well that it was Lucas.
” Lucas” She bit her lips hardly as soon as she saw him. He walked towards her, pinning his eyes into her soul like always.
” I’m here for this” He said and snatched the history textbook from her. ” You took this from the lab and didn’t return it. That’s what I came to take” He said fiercely.
” Oh. I’m very sorry” She sighed, looking down quickly. He turned around and began to walk away.
” Wait, Lucas!” She spoke up, filling her body with a sort of boldness. He stopped without looking at her.
” I know you don’t want to listen to me and I’ve hurt you a lot and I deserve the treatment you’re throwing at me right now. I just want to apologise in the way I can, even if you don’t accept it anyways. I’m really sorry, Lucas..I’m very sorry for everything that I did that was not right.” She swallowed hard and Lucas tightened his fist as he listened to her.
” Starting from the time I…called you a beast. I’m sorry for calling you beast. I’m sorry for breaking the promises that I made to you that night. I’m sorry for not caring for you when you needed it the most. I’m sorry for…for foolishly loving someone else cos… I now realise how it feels to be neglected and ignored and it worse…worse than being stabbed in the chest.
If I want to apologise for all the wrongs I did, we would spend the night in this garden cos they’re alot. But the fews ones I said, I just hope you can listen to my apology and let’s come back as friends” She said and Lucas finally turned around to face her.
” We weren’t friends, kit. We were so much more than that” He said with a little grin.
