Fan Fiction ❯ Best of Friends ❯ Troubles with Goodbyes ( Chapter 20 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

OK I got a review from the second chapter, and I think it was from an Aussie. Well she (I think) so KINDLY pointed that they don’t say ‘Sheila’ anymore. I read about 5-6 stories last night and today and guess what…every single one of them had Pyro and he used ‘Sheila‘. Well if any of you at all can help me with the Aussie accent I will not change it for this story but I will use it for the sequel! Yep that’s what I said! This story will be coming to an end very soon. *Sigh* It’s my baby! I have never finished a story and really this is my very first chapter story *tear* ok well enough of that I’m not finished with it yet! Just wanted you to know that it will be closing down soon!

Warning: Ok and language gets just a little bad in this chapter..I know I didn’t warn you before in the other chapters but I mean there is some pretty bad language so yeah..atleast to me its pretty bad o.O

Chapter 19- Departures and Accidents


Silence had filled the recreation room. It was 11:30 a.m on a Saturday morning. Most of them would have been sleeping, however the day had come for their friends to depart. Suitcases were lined up along the wall, ready to be taken out. Two people were missing though, Angie and Angel, the Worthington twins.
When the two finally came in everyone turned. “We’re leaving with our mum” Angie says. “Going to go back to England, Angel, and Shae are going too” She tells them sadly. “I had fun while we were here, a lot” She says and Renee immediately stands and goes to her room mate hugging her tightly.
“Gonna miss you girl. We had fun though didn’t we?”
“Got me into so much trouble, Drake”
“Yeah well you needed it.” Renee laughed. Then she went to Angelo. “You are something else Angel” She says kissing his cheek. He grinned and hugged her.
“I’ll miss you Renee, all that trouble you cause, its not going to be the same.” He laughs and kisses her cheek. Desiree stood up next and hugged Angelo tightly. “You not getting all emotional on me are you LeBeau.”
“’Course not” Desiree said trying to hide some of her tears. “Ah’m gonna miss y’…dats da truth dere. Ya’ll..” Angela hugged the Cajun girl next.
“Hey we will call you go that, you know they can’t keep us away for long, we’ll be back before you know it.”
“Oui, ya’ll are great friends y’ know dat?”
After everyone hugged the twins and Shae they went to Renee, who would probably be missed drastically by Izzy, he and her were partners in crime half the time. “My lil Drake is leaving me, got so much to teach her!” Izzy said dramatically. Renee laughed as he hugged her and swung her around in circles. Desiree covered her mouth hiding the giggles and when Izzy finally put her down. The whole room was spinning for Renee.
“Now sis, remember, that in that Academy, try to get the last room on the left. There is a secret exit to go to any room in the place. It’s well hidden though so you gotta find it. How do you think I got my midnight snacks when I lived there” he laughs.
“You were always such a pig”
“I love you Renee”
“Yeah Yeah, don’t go getting all mushy on me big brother” She laughs hugging him. “You’ll come and visit right?”
“Yep, definitely, just call me when mom isn’t there.”
“Renee it’s time to go,” Emma called. She gave everyone a hug again and Jett gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
“Bye Renee” Jett says softly to her. She looks up to him sadly and then walks out of the room with a bag in her hand, Bobby came in and grabbed the others. “Well that’s one” he says softly.
Zaira had went off to the side, Angelo was talking to her. His hand rested on her upper arm and spoke softly to her. “Z. listen, maybe we shouldn’t continue our relationship…”
“Angel…”
“No listen Zaira. If we do then it’s going to be hard on us both, long distance is hard,” he tells her. She looks down nodding slightly, tears slowly forming in her eyes. His hand gently touches her cheek. “Z..”
“I’m fine Angel, really” She says looking up at him trying to reassure him with a small smile. He wipes away a few tears and leans in kissing her.
“He’s breaking up with her” Angie said sadly. “They’re perfect for eachother, yet Angel doesn’t want a relationship where you can’t see the person…”
“Umm...since when are they dating?” Cassie questioned.
“Few weeks before the club incident…”Angie tells them. “He’s been a lot happier with her.”
“Angie, Angel, we’re ready to leave” Betsy called from outside the rec room, Shae already next to her.
“Same for you Cassie, Jett” Kitty said. After the five of them left the remaining group sat silent again. Jade had walked out with them and when she came back she looked rather upset.
“They won’t be coming back. At least anytime soon” She says standing behind the couch.
“Hey there beautiful” Ryan said making his appearance for the first time in weeks. Jade rolled her eyes.
“If you want to continue being a man I suggest you get away from me” She says shoving him and starting to walk away. He grabbed her arm. “Let go of me.”
“And if I don’t?” He asked.
Jades hair flew up into the air and her eyes narrowed. “I will only tell you one more time O’Connor!” She says and he lets go and is immediately flung across the room. “Don’t come near me again” She says and turns walking out of the room.
Desiree could only smirk at what Jade had done. As much as she didn’t like her, she had to applaud her for what she had just done to Ryan. “You fahnd this funny huh demon girl?”
“Ah fahnd it absolutely hilarious Ryan” Desiree says still grinning. “Ain’t everyday ah lahke what Summers does but dat was jus’ perfect” She smirks at him. “Now y’ know not t’ mess wit’ a telepath macho man” she says and walks out of the room. Zaira watched silently and with her head down, still a bit upset she followed Desiree. Slowly everyone got up and left.

That night at dinner all you could hear were the sound of forks hitting the plate lightly and the chewing of food. “What’s going on?” Scott questioned finally putting down his fork. “You’ve been quiet all dinner, your either planning something or something’s wrong”
“Dad…I don’t think Ryan can stay here anymore” Jade said. Scott looked at her questionably.
“Why not?”
“I for one don’t feel comfortable with him around. From what Jett said he was a part of Friends of Humanity, and he was raised to hate mutants”
“We give everyone another chance”
“I would give anyone but him another chance” Jade snapped. “I’ve put up with weeks and weeks of having him around and I have gotten nothing but bad vibes from him. I hear him projecting his thoughts and they’re absolutely disgusting…The way he talks to Desiree...as much as I don’t like her she is a part of this family and he speaks to her with a type of disrespect that is just, I don’t know how to explain it.” she pauses “A few days after he arrived he had her backed into a corner…pinned to the wall”
“What?” Izzy asked and glanced at Desiree who was swirling her fork in her food. His blue eyes wandered over to where Ryan was sitting and his anger rose.
“He was threatening her, until he saw me…you guys didn’t see the bruises he left on her, just simply by holding her like that.” Jade says “I don’t like him Dad…he’s bad news” She says. Ryan was silent the whole time, anger was building up.
Ryan didn’t like the fact that Jade was sticking up for Desiree. In fact he completely hated it. All he ever saw was people defending her. His eyes moved over to where Desiree was sitting, next to Izzy. She looked up for a moment and he smirked. Remy glanced over at Rogue who was looking at Desiree worriedly.
“Ah don’t have to put up with this bullshit” Ryan said standing up. “You don’t know what Ah’ve been through these passed few years.” Izzy let out a snort. “What are you laughing at Allerdyce”
“The irony…see I’ve known ya since second grade…and ya have done nothing but pick on Doll” He says. “Ya expect sympathy from us…no” Izzy looks down at Desiree. “I watched ya torment this girl from day one and ya hated mutants, you became one…”
“Shuddup”
“No..I bloody well won’t!” Izzy yelled slamming his fist on the table. “You called us freaks from day one and now yer one too!” He yelled. “Every single person at this god damn table is a mutant Ryan…ya harassing my girl is one thing too much, I’ve had it”
“Izzy, sit down sugah” Rogue said. “Ryan ya too” she tells the boys both calmly.
“Shut the hell up, nobodies talkin’ to ya” The boy said and Remy’s eyes shot towards Ryan, angrily. “You gonna do somethin’ cajun?” Izzy’s fists formed ant they were shut tight. His breathes were deep and he released them slowly.
“Izzy…chere calm down please” Desiree said from next to him. She stood up and put her hand on his shoulder. “Please”
Izzy’s eyes moved from Ryan to Desiree and he slowly sat down. “Pussy,” Ryan laughed. “Listening to the stupid bitch”
“Mother fucker” Izzy said jumping up and then stepping onto the table and leaping across it. He tackled Ryan to the ground.
“Everyone go now,” Scott yelled to the teens who had all backed away from the fist fight. Scott, Warren and Rogue all grabbed Ryan while Logan and Remy took hold of Izzy. Jade had hurried everyone out but they remained at the doorway watching. “What the hell do you think you two are doing” Scott said angrily.
“Stupid bastards been in meh way to long!” Ryan said and went to attack Izzy again.
“Yer a bloody arse ya know that…ya ain’t done nothin’ but destroy lives. Ya don’t bloody belong here!” Izzy yells and pulls his left arm forward to hit him.
“Ah could tear ya apart.”
“Oh yeah? I dare ya to try,” Izzy snapped.
“Both of ya stop this right now!” Rogue demanded. “Ah don’t care about what this feud is about but it is gonna stop now...do ya hear meh!”
“Get away ya stupid whore. Ah don't need to listen to you. ”
“That’s it!” Izzy yells and shoves Remy away from him, now Logan held him back. “Ya don’t speak to her like that ya fuck!” He yells and swings his free hand around, hitting Ryan in the jaw with his right fist. Both his lower arms turned into flames and Logan let go of Izzy because of the heat.
“Dammit Flamer,” Logan said, surprised at Izzy's anger.
“Izzy calm down, sugah. It's okay,” Rogue said trying to get him to lessen his anger.
Desiree was leaning against the wall opposite of where all the fighting was holding her head it her hand. At times like these she wished that she had more control of her empathy. She didn’t though, so it was hurting her. “Desiree?” Jean asks, keeping her eyes on what was going on but looked concern at the girl. “Are you ok?”
“Non…” She says in a whisper. Jean held her in her arms and tried her best to comfort her . It’s ok Desiree. She tells the sixteen year old. Try your best to block everything out sweetheart.
“Ah can’t Jean…it won’t go away” Desiree said out loud.
“Jade, Zaira can you take her up to her room so she can rest?” Jean questioned the two closest kids. “I think you should all go up there..Jay, if you could stay with them."
Jade nodded, concerned as well. She'd been pretty damn pissed at Ryan earlier, but it was nothing compaired to what she felt now. She and Zaira let Desiree upstairs quietly. "I'm really sorry, Desiree," Jade whispered as they reached the girl's room.

Downstairs, Remy and Logan had managed to restrain Izzy. "Listen, sugah," Rogue said to him. He was still glaring at Ryan from across the room, who was now leaning against the wall tauntingly. "All this s' upsettin' Desiree. Yeh got to stop." Izzy sighed and relaxed a bit. He'd just noticed that's she'd left and felt sort of bad that he'd been so caught up...
Remy and Logan let go off the Aussie. Izzy walked out of the room, but shouldered Ryan on his way out and muttered, "Don't think this is over, mate." He then went upstairs to find Desiree. Ryan, in turn, also left the room, but in a different direction. He was really, really angry and as soon as he was out of the room, and in the hall, he kicked the wall, hard, leaving a foot-shaped indention.
“You do realize the damage you do you have to work it off just to fix it” Zaira said revealing herself. “You should try and get along with everyone, we’re not that bad you know”
“Why the hell are you here?” Ryan asked glaring at her.
“I don’t like this fighting between everyone, I’d rather get along, but with your past with Izzy and Desiree seems to be getting in the way” She tells him. “Maybe we could tone it down and give it a try, we’re not as bad as you think”
“You’d stick up for them no matter what wouldn’t you?”
“We’re all the same, outcasts...we’re hated…I was raised here at the mansion with most of them…I know how it is to be mistreated Ryan, we all do”
“Get outa here”
“No”
“I said go” He yanks her close to him grabbing her arm and getting into her face.
“I suggest you let go of me Ryan,” She says calmly, “You have a very bad temper”
Logan had just turned the corner to see Ryan holding his daughter by the arm tightly. His eyes narrowed and he let out a feral growl. “Let go of her” Logan said unsheathing his claws walking over to them. Ryan immediately let go and backed away. “I catch ya with yer hands on my daughter again…”
“Dad…its fine” Zaira says. “Don’t we have to go to the airport to pick up James?” Logan looked at her. “Mom let me know, I’m offering to go with” She says with a smile. “The rooms finished and stuff, he should be comfortable”
“Whose he rooming with”
“Izzy”
“Great”
“Come on..” Zaira said and pulled her dad away before he could see Ryan’s retreating figure disappear into the wall. “So when were you going to tell me?” she questions.
“When he came”
“Of course, always when it just comes up, don’t worry mom explained it to me”
“Yeah…”
“He’s my half-brother, and I hear he’s pretty cool” Logan stayed silent. “You think he’ll like it here?” she asked but received no response. “Oh come on, atleast tell me something about him”
“You’ll know everything when you see him”
“You don’t know him well do you?” Zaira asks. “That’s why you don’t want to talk about it”
“Z..”
“I’m dropping it…meet you in the car, can I drive?” She asks kissing him on the cheek and then heading towards the garage area”
“NO!” Logan yelled.
“Ok, ok”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upstairs all the girls surrounded Desiree, wanting to make sure she was alright. Nobody realized why Zaira had snuck out and had no idea what had gone on downstairs. Josh and Sean sat off to the side together watching them.
“So what’s wrong with her?” Josh asks Sean.
“How should I know”
“She’s an empath” Jade tells them. “It’s a type of telepathy in a way. She feels others emotions”
“Ah’m fahne…”
“Doll?” Izzy asked opening the door and peeking inside. “Ya alright”
“Oui Izzy” She says standing up. She goes to him and he wraps his arms around her.
“I’m sorry Doll, I didn’t mean to hurt ya, I’m sorry” He says resting his chin on the top of her head.
“It’s fahne…” she says with a small smile.
