Chapter 4

*Andor's Pov*

Justice looks at me, ignoring the fact that Jordan seemed p.o.ed. "So what's up?" I try to grab my shirt, but Justice stops me by putting her hand on my bicep. "I wanted to talk to you." She sits where Jordan was sitting a moment ago. I open my mouth to say something but she stops me.

"Its ok." She whispers before pressing her lips to my own. I pull away only to have her pull me close again.

"Just...." I'm cut off by another one of her kisses. I can't stop her. Her kisses, because they are NOT ours, go from short and gentle to long and heated. I gotta stop her before Jordan walks in.

"Justice." I whisper between one of her kisses. But this time she stops. Her little perky smile is gone and she looks as if she could cry.

*Justice's Pov*

I can't turn them in. Even if it is the right thing to do I just can't. I feel myself start to shut down, I hate crying.

"I'm....." Andor starts but it seems as if we're both at a loss for words.

"I gotta go." I whisper giving Andor one last kiss. I know what I have to do.

*Jordan's Pov*

Justice comes running downstairs and I stop her. I take hold of her arm as strongly as I can possibly grip.

"Listen here, we know what you're up to and its...." she cuts me off,

"Let me go." She snaps as harsh as she possibly can.

"You leave my Andor alone. You...."

"LET ME GO!" She yells and I notice the tears running down her face.

"Are you gonna....." Justice kicks me as hard as she could in the stomach, which sends me flying backwards. She runs out without another word. Seconds after Justice is gone a pissed off looking Andor runs down.

"What did you do!" He yells at me, but also is helping me up? Is he mad or concerned? Both?

"I didn't do anything! I was simply telling Justice that what's mine is...."

"And this caused her to scream like that." Andor snaps and I feel anger start rising. Why is he standing up for her!?!

"Why do you care what went on!" I yell back getting a 'oOOOooo' from Jev.

"Because Jordan! I don't care how much you hate her, she's got feelings too." Andor's voice grows quiet meaning there's part of their story that I don't know.

"What happened in that bedroom." I ask and Maddi runs in.

"You two can discuss that later. Andor I wanna finish the song." She says and drags Andor to the paino bench. Andor and Maddi usually look happy and its a amazing sight, but today they don't look so happy.

Time Skip

*Justice's Pov*

I sit by the creek Andor and I used to play in as children. Eleanor would always tell us the same story as we played here. Of the man who hung himself and how he called out to his lover. They died holding hands. This was through Helgrind's power faze, and Eleanor depression. I think back to the night they died, did she really try to save herself or did she call out to a ghost Helgrind before the end? The last time I remember Andor playing that paino solo was at his mom and Prim's funeral. I get up and start towards the castle. I walk in and Helgrind smiles at me.

"Hello darling. Is Justice here to bring me Justice?" Helgrind laughs between words.

*Andor's Pov*

I pace back and fourth in front of the paino as Maddi sings over and over again. I can tell she's scared, but she can't be. I know my time is coming to an end, she has to be strong.

"Your scared! Don't be scared!" I yell and Maddi starts over. I hate yelling but I've gotta scare the scared look out of her.

"Stop being scared!" I yell again and she starts over once again.

*Jordan's Pov*

I've never herd Andor yell like this before. Especially at Maddi. This isn't him, something's wrong.

"Madelyn Grace Jane! Stop the look, sing like you mean it!" He yells and Wag shakes his head. Whatever happened in that room that Andor refuses to tell me, its getting to him. Its quite obvious to everyone.

"Maddi! I can't tell you much more! Get the look off your face and use the voice I know you have! Sing like you're singing to Jasper!" He yells and I can see the ping that caused in Maddi's heart. But it works. She finally gets it right!

"Yeah! That's it keep going!" Andor yells, a smile across his face. Right at the end Maddi stops. The lyric she stopped before is, 'Nothing is ever stopping this sound'.

"No! We got so close. But its getting late, so lets end it on a good note." Andor says letting Maddi hug him.

"Get some good sleep Princess." I say as she walks to her room. Andor just looks at me and leaves...

*Andor's Pov*

I can't leave Justice on the terms we're at. I just can't! She could be the last bit of family I have left when this is all over. I walk to the creek where we used to play as children and I hear her sobs.

"Hey." I say and sit next to her. She looks away and hides her face behind her hand.

"Go away! You can't see me like this." She whisper yells at me.

"Well I'm not leaving till you come back with me. At least tell me what's up." She removes her hand and places it in my own.
"You'd hate me if I did." She whispers pulling away from me.

"I remember your mom used to talk about the man hanging himself and his lover hug herself with him. Its like she knew. The way she'd sob when she saw us together." Justice lets fer voice trail off and I glance away.

"She knew nothing Justice...." she cuts me off,

"Every time she gave you a reading she'd say, Well we gotta get you a new one! Did you not watch the tapes she left you! She knew Jordan was gonna come! She knew the impact that was gonna be left on her little boy's heart! I watched them! The last one was her, she....she said you'd do something very stupid. Andor what you're doing...."

"I'm doing what's right! Those readings your dad taught my mom were nothing. They were just a way for mom to distract herself from life. Now lets go home, it's getting cold." I snap. I help Justice up and we walk home silently. Why would she bring up my past, or ours I guess? I mean Terryn does still do readings on Justice or last I talked to him he did.

Time Skip

I sit on the couch alone. I put one of mom's tapes in and start it up. She's smiling, I miss that smile.

"Now I suppose its time for that reading I promised you." Mom's country accent rings through and I laugh. But her smile fades,

"It says you'll lose friends. A male and a Female." I look down at the table and find a note. Could mom actually known? Could she have predicted I'd turn out Ianite? Perhaps she did!
