Care to explain?

The three words that make you or break you. In our case, it's break you.

I cleared my throat and looked back at everyone once again. Nobody knew what the say, and no one wanted to speak.

"Well?" Marty's was stern, and I knew we were screwed. What could we do? Laurance was warned and caught.

But, Ein harmed both Alex and I.

It looks like Ein hurting us wouldn't nearly match kidnappings him. . . He actually might win.

Unless. . .

"Ein started it," Right when these words slipped out of my mouth I knew I made it worst. "Ein harmed both Alex and I. As in, physically harmed the both of us."

Marty sighed, "Katelyn, drop the swords." The sound of metal hitting the sound of metal hitting the solid floor rang throughout the room. "I have no knowledge of this. For all I know you could lying. Besides, there's no proof."

"I have a light bruise in my cheek, and Alex has cuts from him on her shoulder!"

Marty began to talk again, "I don't see a bruise. Besides, Ein told me you knocked him out twice, didn't let him eat for twenty four hours, and kidnapped him in Katelyn's house."

Laurance began to become furious. If Laurance was in an anime, then steam would be blowing through his ears. "He has a plan!" He exclaims.

"A plan?"

For the next ten minutes we told him everything. The plan, everything.

That was when he made his decision.

"I see," Marty muttered, and then continued after a few minutes of silence. "I'm sorry to say, but Laurance is kicked out. I warned him, and he didn't listen."

"But-"

Marty cut Laurance off, "No buts. I warned you. It hurts me kicking you out, but you disobeyed me. I can't trust you now because of this. Get off this set immediately. Goodbye Laurance Zvahl."

Goodbye everything right in the world.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

It doesn't feel right not having Laurance here anymore. The laughter has died, and overall, the positivity vanished.

I sat next to Alex watching fan made videos about the shows.

She got a kick out of the Alex is a Badass video.

Little giggles or laughs escaped out mouths, but it still wasn't the same. I didn't think Laurance being gone would affect me so much, but it does. He's gone, so it feels empty being around here.

That's when Marty decided to walk into the room. The room became very quiet, and nobody moved.

"I have decided that any futhur recording of any show has been stopped. For the next few days you will have to clean out your dressing rooms. Good day."

He can't just stop the shows... First he kicks out Laurance, and now he stops everything altogether.

This pissed me off big time. Out of everything that has happened, and we've tried to save, it ends like this? This is terrible! This is so messed up...

The phone slipped out of my hand, and I didn't care that it fell onto the floor.

Everything is different now. Nothing's right in the world. It's all upsidedown. It's all... gone.

The memories, laughter, smiles, everything: gone. What do we do now.

Lukas decided to walk over by Alex, and she instantly stiffened. "Hey babe," he says and kissed her cheek.

"Hi..." She mumbles out. There's another bruise against her cheek, but I don't dare question her.

I finally grabbed my phone from off the floor and brought Alex with me to my dressing room. One, I'll need help with it. And two, we need to talk.

"Alex, what's going on with Lukas?"

"N-Nothing..."

"You stuttered."

"Garroth stutters..."

I turned around to her and and grabbed her arm. She wears a bunch of long sleeves now. She winced in pain and I rolled up her sleeves to see bruise up and down her arms.

"Did he do this?"

Nothing.

"Answer me Alex! You have all these bruises, and a newly formed bruise on your cheek, along with a black eye! Tell me what's going on!"

"He hurts me when I do something wrong. He calls me worthless, and says nobody would ever love me, so I better be lucky that I'm even in a relationship. I don't know who he is. I don't love him."

"This is Ein's falut," she looked at me confused when I said that. "Don't ask. I'll tell you later."

She nodded her head and I sent her off. I pulled out my phone and dialed Laurance's number.

"Hello?" Laurance answerers through the other end.

"Hey, Marty canceled the show. Everybody is jobless, and we only have a few days to clear out our dressing rooms."

"That son of a bit-"

I cut him off, "Calm down woman. Anyway, I found out we were right. Lukas is abusing Alex. She doesn't know exactly about Ein's plan. But she knows he had a plan." The other end was silent. I decided to continue talking. "I'll clean out your dressing room and bring it all over to you. I better not see anything weird in there."

"...Then don't look in the top right drawer for my desk...."

Before I could be even more creeped out, I hung out the call after murmuring a quick goodbye.

I'm scared to empty out that top right drawer now... What the hell does he have in it. Better yet, what am I supposed to do now? I'm out of a job...
