Dance Vigilantes

Chapter 16: Offer

Brynn's POV

Good thing I arrived with enough time for me to get some shut eye, well more, considering I got knocked out by a fucking grenade and nearly killed me. Waking up with anyone not noticing anything in the house was a success. As for the bruise, well I faked falling hard in the bath tub and saying that I landed on my chest. The shock and worry of mom was like knowing you won the lottery when she noticed the bruise. My siblings and step dad also saw it and got really worried but assured them I was okay and they were eventually convinced.

Now for the hard part...

Kenzie and JoJo saw me sneak out and I'm sure they'll pelt me a lot of questions and it had to be the two of them Their nosy to the max when it comes to interrogation. I was along the halls, avoiding everyone else at all costs. I plan to meet them at lunch or dance later, depending on my mood. As I approach my locker, I quickly unlock it and grab my stuff, grateful that JoJo and Kenzie aren't with me in first period. A series of small hi's and squealing from fans is music to my ears at this moment. Anything to hear but -

"Brynn Ashlee Rumfallo!"

Shit! I winced not only because of the pain but also because that shout is all too familiar. I turn around to a concerned JoJo, a confused Kalani, and a fuming Mackenzie in front of me. Why was Kalani with them? Do they know?

""Oh uh...hi guys! What's up? " I try to say casually.

""Oh what's up? Well let's see....we saw you sneak out of the house, got worried on what you were doing, followed you, almost got raped in an alleyway where you disappeared, after getting rescued by Starlight who we have no idea why she's here-"

""Wait, Starlight's here?! In Chicago?!"" Kalani asked excitedly. She's a big fan of Starlight actually. I appreciate her support of course

"Oh yeah and she looked cool like in LA and-" JoJo blabbered but was cut off by Kenzie

"Aaaaaas I WAS saying! After we got rescued, random men in grey outfits who looked like terrorists appeared out of nowhere and started firing all over the place and we got caught in the crossfire!" Mackenzie shouts. My throat tightens. They've also attacked some parts of the city too? I felt guilt building up inside me. I felt that it was my fault they got in danger

"Wait, you guys.....basically almost got killed?" I said in a worried tone

"Oh if you were there you'd only have one word for it, MAYHEM! Guns were fired everywhere and one of them even tried to shoot us! I thought I was gonna die a virgin god dammit!" JoJo said in an exasperated tone

"Good thing Kick Ass and the rest of Fusion came to us and luckily, Kalani was also driving by and we hitched a ride" JoJo further added. I look at Kalani and raised an eyebrow. I knew that when Kalani was out driving, it was either having a good time in the night or coping with something. She nodded at me with a forlorn expression and it tells me it's the latter that's the reason.

And Kick Ass rescued them both? I need to take a mental note to thank them later on. Both of them had been stubborn and didn't go home. God I'm just glad Fusion was in time. I couldn't imagine the alternative

"I was driving in the night and was road blocked near the road they were in but I didn't know it was a warzone at that area! I drive as fast as I can to get away. Also heard from them what happened" Kalani explained

"I'm glad all of you didn't get hurt" I said, relief washing over me slightly

"But the question still stands, WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?! You realized how worried we were?! Bullets were everywhere and all we can think of was if you were safe or already dead! Fuck, I haven't had any sleep worrying about you damn it!" Mackenzie yelled, drawing the attention of a crowd and slamming her fists in my chest. I recoiled back, closing my eyes as pain erupts from the bruise I had. Mackenzie's scowl softened and JoJo and Kalani got more worried, with the latter rushing over me, clutching my chest
