“Nothing babe, fuck off Kinsley,” Bass calls out, finally standing but not advancing toward me.
I’m beyond furious, how fucking dare he not rip the bitch apart for even insinuating that he’s going with her. I mean, we haven’t discussed it yet and he hasn’t asked me, but I’m fucking carrying his baby. He’s completely insane if he thinks I’m to let him go with someone else, despite what daddy says. “Fuck off Kinsley, is that honestly all you have to fucking say?” I turn my rage on him, as he watches me with confusion etched into the sharp edges of his face.
“What do you want me to say Jade, she’s fucking crazy,” he raises his hands in annoyance, “I never asked her to go with me.”
“Oh no need sweetheart,” Kinsley says, moving toward him. She reaches out and places a hand on his shoulder, “Like I said Daddy has it all figured out. Your father will probably summon you later today to give you all the details.”
Her hands are on him and I see fucking red. To make matters worse, the fucking asshole doesn’t move, doesn’t push her hand away or tell her to stop. He just watches me, surely thinking it's the pregnancy that has me all fired up andoverreacting. My eyes leave his for a moment as I look around at all of my friends, watching this play out before them, their stares proving I’m fucking crazy for putting up with this, with him. Scarlett’s eyes are red, about to burst into sobs. Ace is glaring at his best friend, and I know he would have put an end to this a long time ago if it were Carrington who was spewing venom like the snake she is. Stella watches me with sad, understanding eyes, while Kai and Drake both look like they're about to pounce on Sebastian if he doesn’t react.
This is never going to end. Kinsley proves she’s planning to stick around, Bass’s dad has made plenty of threats, ensuring me he has his son’s future mapped out and I don’t fit into those plans. Baby or not, he’ll find a way to get rid of me.
I can’t take it, I shouldn’t have to.
Kinsley turns back to me, her menacing eyes looking back to Winter who stands behind me. “Oh god Win, she really thought he’d be going with her. Oh sweetie no, no. He’s not going to prom with the likes of you, not if daddy has anything to say about it, and you know when it comes to these boys, daddy’s word is the law.”

“Woah there slow down gorgeous,” Liam calls out, catching me as I crash into him nearly toppling us both to the ground. I’m panting out of breath, my lungs burning as I breathe hard through my mouth.
“Liam, shit, I’m sorry. I just, let me go please, I need to get out of here.” I push off of him, moving to keep running but he grabs my arm before I can get away.
“Jade, come one what’s wrong? You’re scaring me, are you in danger?” he asks, his eyes wide with worry as he looks around for the presentdangerI must be fleeing.
I shake my head, turning around to check if Sebastian is still following behind me. I lost him in the middle of the circus acrobats who were putting on a parade, Cirque du Soleil style, in the middle of the walkway leading this way, but I know my head start won’t last long. He’s fast, especially if he’s chasing after something he wants, or something that’s running away from him.
“I got into another fight with Bass okay, I just need to leave before he finds me.”
“Come on Jade, you’re so much better than him. He doesn’t deserve you when all he does is hurt you,” he mutters, running a hand over my cheek, wiping away the stray tears I hadn’t realized escaped. His words cut deep because of how real they are, what happened just moments ago proves that, yet I didn’t choose Sebastian. It’s out of my control. I tried to keep away, even tried spending more time with Liam, but my heart, my body, my soul wouldn’t give him up.
I pull away from him, losing my balance and almost fumbling backward. “Liam, I appreciate your worry but you don’t know anything about us okay, I’d appreciate it if you just kept your comments to yourself. Besides, I’m still pissed at you for tattle-tailing on me like if I was a fucking child. I can handle my own, thank you.”
“I’m sorry about that Jade, really I am,” he utters, a genuine apology leaving his lips.
“I know, and I promise you, I’ll forgive you if you just get out of my way.”
“Okay,” he says looking behind me. “He’s coming, why don’t you run into the fun house, and I’ll try to distract him until you make it out.” I nod my head in agreement, placing a soft kiss upon his cheek.
“Thank you Liam, you are a true friend.” He nods, as I less than subtly friend-zone him, accepting that’s all we’ll ever be.
“Go, I can only take so many punches, I’ll be sending you my hospital bill by the way.” I laugh, running off and heading toward the long line of people waiting to enter the fun house. Fuck, looks like I’m going to have to sneak my way in.
