Jacob caught up with Kaylee sooner than he thought because his footsteps were wider, and he ran faster than the girl. Once his hands were within her reach, Jacob grabbed Kaylee's arm and held the girl in the place.
Kaylee didn't turn or run, but she looked away as if she didn't want to see Jacob's face to make the young man even more guilty. He didn't an to hurt Kaylee like this. Jacob was mad at Nick, and he foolishly took his displeasure on Kaylee.
Jacob took a few steps to face the girl and saw Kaylee's beautiful eyes glaze over.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
"But you did. You already explained how you felt, and it made crystal clear that it was my fault."
"No, that…"
"Don't worry, Jacob. I get it." Kaylee pulled her hand from Jacob's grip, but the young man didn't want to let go.
"No, you don't get it. I was mad at Nick, but I took it out on you. I was a jerk, and you deserved to be mad at . But I'd like you to know I'm not mad at you at all." Jacob bit his lower lips when he realized Kaylee still refused to look at him. "Please, forgive and don't cry."
"I'm not." denied Kaylee while looking away to hide her eyes.
Kaylee's body froze as she felt two warm hands cupping her face and led her eyes to look towards Jacob. Kaylee's heart rippled when she saw those srizing blue eyes, and a glimpse of mory flashed in her mind.
'Don't cry. You're uglier when you cry.'
Kaylee's forehead frowned when she saw the young man's figure with the sa tattoo as he expressed his opinion. She felt she was crying, and the young man tried to comfort her in an unusual way.
"Miss Roe," Jacob brought her back from her flashed mory with a gentle look. "I'm glad you are here so that we can talk. But I have to go. Can we et again after this?"
"What for?"
"I will apologize properly, and you owed an explanation."
Yes, she did. Kaylee knew she owed Jacob an explanation, and she knew Jacob couldn't be with her right now because the young man had to return to the music battle that was about to begin.
Kaylee nodded her head once and let Jacob leave her. She didn't expect that once Jacob left, Nick ca out of his hiding place and walked over to her.
"Should I know about this? Why did Jacob look at like I was his enemy? I thought he was your best friend."
"He is. But I made a mistake."
Kaylee briefly told Nick what happened, getting a frowning from the young man.
"Then he mad at ... at you, and hurt you like that. What a dumbass."
"Nick! You're not the one who will spend three years here. I hope my relationship with him back to normal. I won't be able to do it if I face him myself."
"So you want to fix your relationship?"
"If you don't mind."
What a troubleso to do. "Fine."
"Thanks. You're the best." Kaylee hugged Nick tightly while showing a cheerful smile. "I'll see you after the battle. Good luck."
Nick shook his head before walking back to where the back door led onto the stage.
Surprisingly, as soon as he entered, Nick received sympathetic glances at him, and a large crowd gathered around the mbers of his music team.
Now what?
"Nick, you're here."
"Yeah? What happened? "
Bug!
Many people gasped in surprise when they heard the sound of punching. Nick was curious and quickly headed to the source of the crowd and was very surprised when he saw Jacob and Adam beating soone.
Nick and Fritz approached them and pulled Jacob and Adam by force. Both of them grimaced when they saw that the face of the person who his two friends had beaten beca swollen and full of bruises.
"What are you doing?" Nick wondered what made Jacob and Adam frantic, crazy teenage boys… on their music battle day.
Plus, this was the first ti Nick has seen Jacob's expression so offensive, as if this young man was ready to send all his opponents to the hospital.
He rembered that Jacob's anger was not this deep when he t Kaylee, but the young man took his rage out on Kaylee by hurting the girl.
Has Jacob decided to vent his anger by beating people up?
What a scary guy!
"He's cheating!" hissed Jacob.
"They did dirty way to win!" added Adam to make Nick even more confused.
The music battle event hadn't started yet, but how would they know if the opponent was cheating?
Nick was still trying to hold back Jacob, who was ready to beat up the poor swollen-faced guy when he felt soone tug at the hem of his jacket. Nick turned his head and saw Letti looking at him worriedly.
"They destroyed your guitar."
"What?" Instantly Nick's heart stopped when he heard the unexpected report from Letti.
Nick released his grip on Jacob and searched for his guitar's whereabouts. He entrusted one of his favorite guitars to Adam, but when he saw the neck and body part of his guitar break, his naughty smile and playful glint eyes turned darker.
Who dared harm his 'baby'?
Not far from their position, one of the opposing band mbers grinned at Nick's pale expression. He got the news that Nick's ability to play guitar had improved a lot when he brought an electric guitar from ho.
He felt sure that the guitar was Nick's 'secret weapon.' Without that guitar, Nicholas Larson would be nothing, so he had one of his fellows destroy Nick's guitar.
His subordinate was not mbers of the band's music team. Even though Jacob and Adam realized that the person who broke Nick's guitar was his n, they have no evidence to accuse him of ordering the guy.
Nick inhaled a very long sigh to calm his sudden anger. He turned and walked towards the poor swollen guy.
Noticing the changing vibe in Nick and his dark eyes made the crowd speechless. Sohow they felt they saw a Doberman Pinscher dog who was angry because soone had entered his territory.
Nick crouching with an aura full of danger makes the lying poor guy gulped nervously and almost wetted his pant!
"Who ordered you? Talk, or you would never see the sun again."
Gulp!!
