Chapter 21 - -Jadira?-

Finally. Sunday. It felt so long. It was so long. Clay stared at the papers on his table. "What are those?", Darby asked. "Complaints. People filed them from when I didn't let them interview to work here. People including Lisa Colorado, Aretha Hilton, Duke Forsberg, and Henry Forest. These people have been up my rear for centuries, complaining, complaining, and complaining. I just want to sue them for wasting my time.", Clay scoffed.

Darby chuckled. "You could make a fortune from suing these people.", he stated. "I have to go out of town today to go run some errands. Maddox and Emma from Cloud Nine sent me a check. I did them a favor. Don't worry about it.", Clay muttered.

Adira burst into Clay's room. "Charlotte...! Charlotte is bleeding, she might have miscarried!", Adira huffed. Clay and Darby ran out of the room as fast as they can. Charlotte was panting on the floor as blood dripped from her stomach. Everyone was panicking, calling ambulances and getting things to stop the bleeding.

"Fuck.", Charlotte gasped. "Well, Olly. I guess abortion isn't an option anymore.", she whispered. "Don't fucking joke around right now, this is serious!", Oliver snapped.

Soon enough Charlotte was in an ambulance and off to the hospital. "What the hell happened?!", Clay asked. "She slipped on something. We're all not too sure.", Axel claimed.

Jasper came out of his room with Tobias. "Charlotte will be ok. She's headed to the hospital. She's so strong. She wasn't even crying. Your mother is very strong.", Darby told Tobias.

Toby took a deep breath and nodded. Oliver elbowed Darby. "Just because you fucked my fiancé, doesn't mean you can fuck my kids view on who his father is.", Oliver whispered to Darby.

Later into the day:

Jasper brushed his fingers through his hair. "Are you sure you want to do this?", he asked. "Positive.". He sighed as he closed his eyes and walked into a bar with Adira. Everyone stared at them. "You two's from that castle where the king lives, right?", an older guy asked them.

Adira slowly nodded. "We're here to perform!", she exclaimed. The older guy looked down then back up at the two, without hope for them. "Good luck.".

They went up on stage and Jasper held the microphone. "I'm Jasper and this is Adira and we will be doing a duet of one of her original songs...Ten Mistakes.", he stated.

He propped up a guitar and played a flourish. The song started to began.

Let me just say, the song was a hit and when it was over, the crowd was crying for more. Jasper and Adira looked at each other, panting.

"You guys can come back any time, that was amazing!", a random person hooted. Adira and Jasper chuckled. "Fuck. We need to get back to the mansion before the king finds out. We'd be fired.", Adira panted. "Shit, yeah. Let's go.".

They both ran outside in the rain hand in hand, going back to the mansion, laughing. "I can't believe we just did that!", Adira snickered as she opened the door to the mansion.

"Where did you two go, hand in hand?", Evie asked. "Hm. Good question! Why are you and Amanita hand in hand?", Jasper remarked. "Touché, douché.".

"No but seriously, where did you two go?", she asked again. "We went out. Is that enough for you?", Adira snapped. "Fine.", Evie pouted.

Jasper and her went upstairs. They sat down on Adira's bed. "You're extremely good at singing. Like...really good.", he complimented. "You were way better. Your vocals were like-incredible.".

"No, no, no! Absolutely not! Do not try to avoid the fact that you're fucking great. I mean-did you even see yourself up there? You were like magic, Adira, magic! My heart flew out of my fucking body.", he said.

She couldn't hide her smile. "Thank you.", she whispered.

Downstairs:

Clay slammed open the door. "Alright, fuckers! Who snuck out?!", he shouted. Evie shrugged. "Darby.", she stalled. Darby stared at her and quickly flipped her off before Clay could see.

"He was out with me all day, you can't pull that.", Clay stated. "Fuck.", Evie muttered.

Back upstairs:

Adira gazed at Jasper's fingers as they sewed the last few stitches to a black overall dress. "I used to spend all of my time devoted to making these. They were originally for my ex-friend. But I found someone more worthy of wearing these. You.", Jasper said then handed them to her.

Adira put her hands over her mouth. "Really? I-I don't know how to say thank you, I-...these look amazing, really. How can I repay you?", she replied.

"You don't. I don't need to be repaid, Adira. Just seeing you happy is enough.", he whispered and put his hand on her cheek. She blushed.

"I-uhm...I'll go try it on.", Adira insisted. When she came back into the room, she was wearing a black and white striped shirt, a black beret, black boots, and the black overalls.

Jasper stood up "Woah. I-I don't know what to say, you look amazing.". "I only look amazing because it's your work.", she remarked. "Aha-no.", Jasper scoffed.

"Aha-yes. You're extraordinary. When you were sewing, you made it look like a cakewalk. Trust me. You're everything.", Adira proclaimed. "If I'm everything...why aren't you in love with me?".

---------------------------------------------------

Monday. A new week. Still won't decipher what had happened yesterday.

Adira woke up in Jasper's arms, still in yesterday's clothes. "Ah! Jasper! Wake up! We have to get downstairs to see what we have to do today! Fuck!", she harshly whispered. He woke up then quickly hurried downstairs with Adira.

Everyone was doing their chores as they rushed to do theirs. Evie kissed Amanita on the cheek. "You are two dating?", Esma asked. Evie nodded with a proud smile.

"Why? You and Darby dating?". Esma smirked. "Luckily", she beamed. Darby came up from behind Esma and said, "I heard my name?". She winced in shock and sighed when she realized that it was him. "Oh my god, you scared me.", Esma gasped.

She kissed him as Evie rolled her eyes. "What?", Amanita paused. "Them! All the time! How are two people so in love that they kiss almost all day every day?!", Evie harshly whispered.

"Well, wouldn't you want to kiss me all day?", Amanita muttered. Evie smirked. "You know what I mean.", she chuckled then kissed her on the cheek.
