{ FIGHT FOR HER }
P3 LOUNGE
Emma was holding Dylan as they came in together. His fine arm is on her waist.
They got to the sofa and he sat on it, then she sat on his laps and rested her head on his chest.
“Stand up and leave” Trevor said, coming in.
“Why would you say that?” Dylan asked.
“Are you daft?, Just because she kissed you, she’s now your girlfriend?” Midas said, coming in too.
“I thought you guys said I’m the leader of P3 ” Dylan said.
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean we should sit around and just watch you constitute trash when we know how much you’re crazy over Delaney!” Trevor shouted angrily.
“Is this about that Delaney girl again?” Dylan stood, and Emma hugged him as he spoke.
“Yeah, she’s the only girl you’ve ever had feelings for when you were still with your memories, can’t you just stop all these already?” Midas said.
“I had feelings for her?” Dylan said with a blink.
“Crazy feelings at that, same girl you wrote 50+ love letters to, and 100+ love texts, ten public proposals!” Trevor shouted, and Dylan suddenly held his head.
“Ouch!!!” He shouted, falling back on the sofa.
“Dylan are you ok?” Emma held his face, and he kept holding his head.
“Füçk!, My…head!” He groaned painfully, bleeding slightly from the nose.
“Huh!, Blood!, Blood!” Emma quickly got tissues from the table and started wiping it.
“Dude, are you ok?” Trevor asked.
Dylan looked up after Emma finished wiping the blood.
“Avoid talking about Delaney in front of me” he said and stood.
Emma held his hand and took him out of the lounge.
“This is crazy” Trevor said.
“More than crazy” Midas replied, and they both fell on the sofa at a time.

Delaney has been at the rooftop since she went there, but she has stopped crying though.
She’s sitting on the available chair, staring into space while thinking of what happened earlier.
She pacified herself by reminding herself of what he did to her in the past, that’s why she was able to stop crying but… The problem is she couldn’t get him out of her head no matter how hard, she just couldn’t.
“Sweetheart” Paisley came upstairs, and she quickly composed herself before standing.
“Paisley” she smiled.
“Why did you run out of the hallway when Emma kissed that animal?, Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking” Paisley said.
“What?” Delaney asked slowly.
“You aren’t possibly in love with that rapist, are you?” Paisley asked, coming closer.
“Why…why… would I…
“See?, You’re stuttering!, My suspicions were right Delaney!, How could you fall for that bastard!” Paisley yelled.
“I’m not in love with him!” Delaney yelled back.
“Then why did you run away like that?, Are you sure you ran to him in the stadium that day only because of Sweeney?, You even agreed to do the photoshoot with him, and that night… At the P3 pool…” Paisley said angrily, and Delaney started crying again.
“I saw you both kissing in the pool!, I saw it all but I decided to keep shut, but I can’t keep it anymore when it’s obvious you’re in love with….
“I’m not!, Stop shouting at me!, Stop!” Delaney shouted tearfully, and Paisley started breathing heavily, trying to calm herself down.
“Stop shouting” Delaney muttered, and Paisley took another deep breath before walking to her.
She pulled her into a tight hug, making her face stay on her B@@bs as she started stroking her hair.
“I’m sorry sweetheart, forgive me for shouting at you, yunno how much I love you and won’t want anything to hurt you again, not after what you went through in the past” she said.
Delaney hugged her back slowly.
“You carried Sweeney for twelve months instead of the normal nine, you lived in a small rooftop house throughout those months all because you never wanted my parents to find out about the pregnancy, you laboured for five hours but still couldn’t give birth to your baby remember?, Sweeney was taken out of you through cesarian operation and she almost died in the first three months all because she spent more time than required in the womb, you suffered a lot and I was there throughout, I just can’t stand seeing you around the guy who caused you all these pains Delaney, I can’t” Paisley said, crying loudly just like Delaney.
Delaney hugged her tighter, their tears dampening each other’s clothes.
Emma and Dylan are at the stairs, and they’ve been listening to the whole narration.
“OMG, Delaney has a baby?, Who’s the father?” Emma muttered shockingly.
“Let’s go” Dylan replied, pulling her down the stairs.

Gigi stretched herself flexibly after reading to her satisfaction in the library, then she smiled.
“If I don’t get picked in the next audition, then I’m gonna just die, and I must ace all my papers, promise!” She said with determination before standing.
She packed the books and went to the shelves to return them, but the space she saw was too tall for her, so she started standing on her toes just to get it there.
“I’m tall enough, why is it so.. hard” she said, still trying so hard.
Someone suddenly took the book from her from behind, and she went back to her feet, standing on the person’s shoes.
The person returned the book to the shelf and when she made to face him, her shoes collided with his own, and she almost fell but he held her waist and her back hit slightly on the shelf.
That slight hit made some books fall. They’d have fallen on her head but the guy covered her, so they tell on him instead.
She started looking up slowly, and when she saw the face, her eyes widened.
“Midas the Füçker?” She said, her heart racing already.
“Be careful next time” he smiled and winked before letting go of her waist.
He walked away and her eyes followed him till he left completely.
“What just happened to my heart?” She asked herself, placing a palm on her chest.
Her heart is still racing full time.
“Gosh!” She bit her lip and smiled as she left the library.
Tony came out from behind the shelf he has been hiding at, then he pocketed his hands and started staring at her till she went outta sight.
“You still won’t show herself to her?” Lexi joined him.
“I want to, but not now” Tony replied.
“You saw what Midas just did, right?, Girls fall for things like that these days” Lexi smiled.
“I wanted to do it but Midas was only faster” Tony replied, and Lexi smiled.
“Good luck with hiding” he said and left him.

Mavis was already sweating profusely as he lifted the metallic weighs for the fiftieth time, determined to get a broad chest like Dylan.
If that’s what’s gonna make his mum change to him, he’s more than ready.
He released another groan as he lifted it again, and someone suddenly clapped behind him.
He dropped it and looked back to see Dylan standing there.
“You lifted it fifty one times, bravo” Dylan smiled.
“Did you lose your brains alongside your memory?” Mavis rolled eyes.
Dylan came closer.
“I have a feeling I used to lift it hundred times, my broad chest proves it” he said proudly, and Mavis pushed him out of the way.
He was walking away already when Dylan spoke.
“I like you, you look qualified enough to be my friend!” He shouted.
“Don’t even think about it” Mavis glared and left completely.
“Dylan!” Emma rushed in and grabbed his arm.
“What?” He asked.
“I heard he’s your mortal enemy, why are you talking to him?” She said and pulled him out of the gym.
