Chapter 3

I looked away immediately and can't help but to feel my heart whose now as loud as the crowd. I calmed down myself and find Ryan and Mia. I didn't realized they're not beside me anymore. This is what Light always do to me. He seems to make me oblivious of the people and things around me.

There are so many people around and I can't properly find them. I just went to the side and tried to call them. Luckily, Ryan answered his phone.

"Hey, why did you left me in the middle of the crowd? Where are you? Are you with Mia?" I immediately asked.

"Sorry Lei, the crowd were so hype up there, and the girls keeps on pushing towards the stage. Mia was pushed by some of those girls and sprained her ankle, we're on the clinic right now" He said, I can even hear Mia's voice at the background scolding him for telling me what happened.

"What?! Why didn't you call me earlier? I come there immediately wait me there." I hurriedly walked past the crowd but they are so jam-packed I can't even move freely. I saw the backstage part that are not crowded and is much easier to pass through to get to the clinic faster.

I hurriedly walked towards there and sighed in relief when no notices me there. This has been a prohibited area fir those who are not a performer or a staff. But I just need usethe door here since I am more worried for Mia's safety than being caught here.

I was still looking behind if there is someone who will caught me when suddenly I was bumped into a hard wall...

Wait...wall? I was walking into a hallway, why would a wall be here?

I slowly looked in front and was so shocked I slightly move backwards when I saw a hard chest. From the tie he was wearing I immediately recognized who it is.

"Where are you going kid? Following me?" He coldly said. I just closed my eyes and tried to think for a good excuse but I just can't process anything in my mind. I don't know what to say when it comes to him.

"No...no, I'm sorry, but I just really need to use the way here. My friend is in the clinic and I just need to go for her " I honestly said since whatever happened I will still be scolded by him.

"You'll go to that Ashton? That's how worried you are to him? You didn't even finish our performance. So this is the girl who says she likes me huh..." He spatted as if he is saying some disgusted words.

I knotted my forehead, doesn't he know about pronouns? If I'm not mistaken I used a SHE earlier so I would supposedly visit a girl. And what is he talking about?

I just looked at him and equalled his cold stare at me.

"Haven't you heard the word SHE? I was supposedly be going to Mia, and what is your problem with Ryan? He haven't done anything to you." I angrily said and walked past him, but before I can freely go he immediately hold my wrist and pulled me towards him.

"Why? You don't like me anymore, you realized you much more like that bastard Ashton?" He is now glaring at me while saying that.

"What are you talking about? Why are bringing up Ryan in here? Yes I like you, I love you, but haven't you remembered, you're the one who doesn't like me or anything so why the fuss?" I am really annoyed at him right now.

"Yes...yes I don't like you. So stop following me and stop all of those nonsense you are doing to me." He madly said and let go of my hand. I just watched him walked away like he wants to have some fight right now.

I just sighed and slowly turned my back to walk towards the exit. I immediately run my way out and find the clinic. When I opened the door I saw Ryan, whose been leaning on Mia's bed and holding the hand of the latter whose sleeping.

When he realized someone has came, he looked at my side.

He just gave me a reassuring smile...

"How is she?" I ask and then hold Mia's hand.

"She's already okay, the nurse said its nothing that serious, she just got tired from all of the things we did the whole day that's why she fell asleep." He said while looking at me and then turned his attention to Mia whose still sleeping.

"That's good, I'll just buy some food outside for us...maybe she will get hungry when she wakes up."I said, he just nodded at me and I turned my back to get out of there. I just go to the near stall that is selling some hotdogs and burgers.I bought three of them as well as some drinks.

But before I went back to the clinic, someone just bumped me so hard that my drinks was spilled all over the place.

"Hey, little girl..." A woman, probably just as age as Light is infront of me and glaring.

"I saw you with Light earlier in the backstage, you're really desperate aren't you? He will never like you so stop chasing him...Light is mine!" She spatted amd pushed me that made me sit in the ground. The food I was holding is now also in the ground. My hands and wrists hurts from the impact of his push. My hips and butt is also hurting so bad, that I think some bones just cracked, I can't stand up properly.

I can't say anything right now, I was just sitting in the ground. Tears are slowly forming in my eyes, I know we have caught much attention from the crowd amd all I want to do right is to dissappear from here but I am just too weak.

"What are you doing Jessica?" A voice boomed from nowhere, it was so deep and dangerous that I immediately raised my head to where it came from.

Jiro was running towards me with a worried look.

I just noticed someone with a dark aura past by me but I can't see who it is because Jiro is blocking.

"Are you okay Lei, come I'll just carry you let's go to the clinic, your hands is bleeding." I looked at my hands and I haven't noticed it was already bleeding, maybe because of the stones.

I let my cousin carry me and hide my face in his chest.

I felt him stopped walking.

"The next time your girlfriend will hurt my cousin Light, I'm sorry but I will forget about our friendship and whatever you promised, you understand?" Jiro said, thinking about the person he is talking too just made me bury my face into Jiro's chest more.

I didn't heard any response, but Jiro continued to walk until I felt that him opening a door.

"I thought I was just the only one whose injured, it seems that we're really best of friends because we always end up with the same fate." Mia sarcastically said while looking at us.

"I thought you're just buying our food, why the hell you end up injured too?" Ryan asked and helped Jiro to put me down in a bed beside Mia's.

"Light's girlfriend pushed her." Jiro simply said.

"Arghhh, where is thay wench? I'll just pull all the hairs in her body. If it's not Light itself the people who will hurt you is still connected to him. You're already like a factory of tears, you always have a duty everyday. Maybe we could make it a business so that your tears would even have a worth." Mia is gritting her teeth while saying. I just sighed and didn't say anything.

"Stay away from him now Lei, maybe its time for you to give up." Jiro said while looking intently at me. Knowing Jiro to be the happy-go-lucky man, even if he is already half-way in his college just like the other members of the band, seeing him this serious just means one thing.

He knows I don't really have a chance with his friend...

And it hurts...its hurts so bad...

I still didn't say anything, instead I just turned on the other side, away from them and decided to sleep this pain I'm feeling.
