[b][u]Location:[/u][/b] Simoné‘s Coffee, then en-route to Lincoln Memorial High School
[b][u]Interacting With:[/u][/b] Nothing good[/center][hr][hr]

Even after almost an hour had passed since she last saw Everett, Jade wondered what exactly that southern boy wanted? She knew that Everett sometimes liked to hang outside  Uncle Charlie’s usual hangout(a biker bar ways away from the police and other good-doers), hoping to catch him. Jade also knew that her Uncle Charlie never was free enough to sit down and really talk with that boy. However, when Everett asked, he did so on a rare day, because Charlie was home. 

[color=e62020]“Eh, whatever. Not like he’s bothering me.”[/color] Jade shrugged the thought of Everett and her uncle.

Looking down at the table, Jade was eyeing her third cup of coffee. It was nearly gone. Jade sighed as she reached into her purse and put a twenty dollar bill down underneath the cup.  Giving a sluggish wave to the barista as she left Simoné’s Café and started to head towards Lincoln Memorial High School. It was getting around the time that first period usually ended at, so Jade had to make sure that she wasn’t late as she had specified to Alicia in her text to the girl earlier.

About halfway there, Jade pulled out her phone. As she was about to check the time, she heard a whistle come from behind her. Smirking softly, Jade  pocketed her phone, and walked, moving her hip in a sway, warranting even more whistles from guys who walked past her. Some were of her age, some were older, and some were men she had known to seduce. Most of them had a tall frame and built like a brick wall. Others were more leaner, but one could still see that they had some meat on their bones. The others(AKA the ones in her age group) were more lean and around her height.

As she finally reached a corner,  Jade looked back, winking at anyone who might’ve seen her, and she turned. Not realizing it, she bumped into someone. “Watch where you’re going!” Jade yelled at the man. As she looked up , however, she realized she didn’t bump into a stranger.

[color=darkorchid]“You're the one who bumped into me,”[/color] the man said, his frame at least half of a foot taller than Jade’s. 

[color=e62020]“Oh, [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0b/e2/93/0be293ceb9c981eecc8665e45bdb54c7.jpg]Connor[/url], I didn’t see you .”[/color] Jade said, somewhat apologizing.

Connor, the man that threw the party that Jade and her friend Danny went to last night was tall. Like, he was really tall. And intimidating. Putting aside his large, nigh-bulky frame, he looked intimidating. Long dark hair flowed down to his shoulders and a beard lightly coated his chin and lower regions of his mouth. He always dressed as he acted: cocky, confident, and in control. As such, he only wore the best of suits. They were all imported from Italy. They often were dark colored, usually with dangerous colors such as red or purple. Today, it seemed that Connor wanted to dress with purple and a dark suit. 

[color=darkorchid]“I guess I’ll take that as an apology.”[/color] Connor laughed, [color=darkorchid]“you never were one known for making proper-sounding apologies.”[/color] Connor, again laughed. He straightened his body up and it revealed just how tall he really was.

[color=e62020]“And you never were one for dressing like a normal person.”[/color] Jade commented honestly, [color=e62020]“I mean, really Connor? A suit? Do you want people to think you're some hardcore gangster or something.”[/color] Jade annoyingly asked him.

[color=darkorchid]“That's exactly what I want people to think.”[/color]

[color=e62020]“Right,” [/color]Jade brushed his obvious threat as if it were nothing.

[color=darkorchid]“So, why aren’t you in school? Aren’t good girls like you usually in school at this time?”[/color] Connor said, keeping a straight face.

[color=e62020]“Really? You think I’m a good girl? Please, Connor, spare me the sarcasm.”[/color]

[color=darkorchid]“Right of course.”[/color]

Jade sighed, [color=e62020]“my uncle pissed me off, so I decided to ditch.”[/color]

[color=darkorchid]“All alone?”[/color] Connor subtly inquired.

Jade narrowed her brows and looked at Connor. [color=e62020]“No, I’m meeting Alicia in a bit.” [/color]Jade told him, [color=e62020]“which reminds me,”[/color] she said, [color=e62020]“I should get going. Spending all of this time talking to you has made me a little late.”[/color] Jade complained. As she proceeded to leave, she felt a tug on her arm. It was from Connor. [color=e62020]“Um, what are you doing? I need to go.”[/color] Jade said, looking back at Connor. 

[color=darkorchid]“Not just yet you’re not.”[/color] Connor told her.

[color=e62020]“What do you mean? Let me go right now!”[/color] Jade demanded.

Connor, with his other hand, slapped Jade across her face.  At the time of impact, Connor let go, and Jade was sent to the ground face-first. Hard.  Jade looked up, revealing a cut on her face. It drew blood.

[color=darkorchid]“Jade, do you really think you’re going anywhere? You flaked last night.”[/color] Connor said, standing over Jade. He was fixing his jacket as he was going to take it off.

[color=e62020]“What do you mean? I stayed at that party and did all of those things that you wanted.”[/color] Jade said angrily. She was trying to get Connor to understand that she did nothing wrong.

[color=darkorchid]“YOU’RE LYING!”[/color] Connor yelled, livid with anger and betrayal.

He was so angry at Jade right now, Connor drove his left foot, and kicked her a few times in the back. Each kick was received with a light scream of pain and agony from Jade. As each kick from Connor’s foot went into her back, Jade’s screams got louder and louder. The foot that was kicking her had a metallic shoe on, so even the first kick would hurt greatly. Repeating that in succession of the previous one would only increase Jade’s overall pain. 

[color=e62020]“I’m--not..”[/color] Jade’s said, coughing up blood. 

Due to the great discomfort she was feeling in her back and the lack of air to speak in great length, Jade could only get out two words. 

[color=darkorchid]“I saw you leave with him.”[/color] Connor informed her, sounding just as angry, but his voice was lower. 

Connor had stopped the kicking, and rolled Jade on her back. He then grabbed her by her neck and pinned her against the black SUV that was parked to the left.  

[color=darkorchid]“You left with Danny. How could you do that to me? You know you’re mine.”[/color] Connor said angrily, putting more pressure on her neck and pinned her harder against the SUV. As a result, Jade started coughing up more blood, some of it landing on Connor’s jacket.

[color=e62020][I]Danny?[/I] [/color]

As Jade’s thought went onto Danny, she repeatedly murmured the word [color=e62020]“no,”[/color] over and over again. 

And that was the last thing she remembered before falling into an unconscious state.

She remembered the party. It was loud(probably from the music playing). There were a bunch of sexually-attractive people dancing sexily. There was drugs. Actually, a lot of drugs and of all kinds. There was cannabis, cocaine, heroine, meth, and just about any kind of drug for anyone. These parties that Connor always threw every weekend catered to a certain brand of people — the brand of people who often were at AA every weekend and breaking their sobriety by getting high and drunk. 

And Jade was at this party.

She was a special guest of Connor’s. In fact, one could say that Jade was so special to Connor that she was only to be with him. She was pretty much glued to his side for a majority of the party’s length. Either they were kissing and dancing or they were watching other people kiss and dance. Never was there a moment that Jade was without Connor’s company — or so people at the party thought.

Unexpectedly, Connor had to be pulled away from some of his…[I]co-workers[/I]. Yeah, that’s putting it oddly. They were people he reported to were probably higher up on the food chain that he worked for. And during the time that Jade wasn’t with Connor, she took the chance to leave. Knowing that it might be her only chance, she grabbed Danny — who was like a brother to her — and urged him to take her home. At first Danny wasn’t sure why. He thought she liked it at the party and with Connor, but there was something in her eyes that made Danny agree without asking anything.

As they would leave, they had no idea that Connor saw them leave together.

And then she regained consciousness.

Jade was on the ground, sitting on her bottom as her back was against the black SUV that Connor had her pinned against. Looking around, she couldn’t believe what her eyes were gazing upon. The ground around her was split apart. Several bodies laid unmoving all around her. She saw they had guns in their hands, but it looked like they were never fired. These men had  expressions of fear and disbelief plastered all over their faces.Jade didn’t know what happened to them. Hell, [i]they[/i] didn't know what happened to them. They just stared at her as if she was some kind of monster or something.

And then, to her right on her lap, she saw Connor. He was dead. His neck looked like it had snapped and eyes wide open. His mouth was all the way open. Jade screamed and then covered her mouth to conceal her scream as much as she could. 

[color=e62020]“Did..I do this?”[/color] JAde asked herself. She wasn’t sure. Did she actually cause all of this? And if she did, why doesn’t she remember? [color=e62020]“I-I need to go. Alicia is probably waiting for me..” [/color]Jade said, getting the now deceased Connor off her lap and she got up.

And Jade ran. She ran away from death. She ran away from what she possibly may or may have no done. Despite her back possibly being fractured and her clothes having some kind of blood stain on them, she ran as fast and as far away from all of that as she possibly could. She had to get to the meeting place where she promised to be at to get with Alicia. She had to forget about that scene of death. She just had to.
