Chapter 3 - LAS - A saviour

2 minutes before 7pm. I arrived at our practice room. I saw Audrey, and Jane there. They look worried.

"Kat, have you seen Cheenie?." Ms. Ross asked. Our manager and trainor.

"No Ms. Ross."

I tried contacting her but her phone was turned off since yesterday." - Audrey

"Let's just find her before our practice. She must be somewhere. I tried calling their home number but her mother said she wasn't home since yesterday." Jane.

And we head out trying to find Cheen. We were four trainees. Jane, Audrey, Cheenie and me. We were named JACK.

"I'll go downstairs." - Audrey.

"I'll find her in the back and try to contact her." - Jane

I nodded and go straight to the rooftop. Cheen always wanted to be freshen up there. Well, she's a happy kid. But everyone deserves a fresh air.

Cheen wasn't really like this before. She's the one who gather us. Like, she would call us and tell us to be on time or visit us on our apartment or houses. We're worried. This is the first time that she wasn't around.

Maybe there's an emergency. And she headed somewhere without telling us. But if she does, she would text our manager right away.

I run towards the stairs to get to the rooftop when I heard someone screaming out loud.

"I'm tired!!! I want to rest!!!."

Wait, is that Cheenie?

I run hurriedly and I strip and still stand up to run towards Cheen.

Please Cheen. Don't do something stupid.

When I arrive there. I saw Cheenie standing on the edge.

"Cheen, look at me." - I tried to calm her down. Then she look at me with a teary eye.

She use to be a happy lady. But, why is she like this?

Then she smiled bitterly.

"I'm tired Kat. My mother wanted me to give up my dreams. She-she doesn't support me at all." - she cried.

"We can talk about this. You can come down her and let's talk about it. We're friends, right?." I did my best to calm her down.

"My dreams---." the she burst into tears.

"I just wanted to make her proud on my own. But how?."

"Look at me, Cheen. You can do everything you want in your life. You can make your mother proud. Just let me, us help you. Please?." I am worried. I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose a friend.

"I wanted to end this suffering, Kat." - she cried and look down on the building.

"No please---."

"Let her do what she wants."

When I look who's talking. I saw Kish Royce Defamente. One of our seniors.

"Are you crazy?! Instead of stopping her---."

He just walk past through me.

He really made my blood boil.

"Don't come near me!."

"When you're going to jump here. What if you wouldn't get killed like what you wanted? What if it will only break your bones and legs? Oh. You will only suffer from the pain and much worse you'll be paralyze. But it wouldn't be a problem, right? Who will take care of you? Of course, your mother. And she will be proud when she sees her daughter that cannot walk anymore. And she will be swimming on debt because of your hospital bills. Because she cannot pay it. She will sell your house and everything that she owns. You will end up being homeless. And you will stay under the bridge and ask for money on people passing there. Because no one wanted to give you anything and you became hungry. You decided to eat on what was on the trash bin. In short, you will be having new friends like cats and dogs eating there. You would make a great family." Kish said with a playful tone.

Well, the building was really huge and so tall enough for anyone end up being killed after jumping here. Well, I don't know.

Cheenie suddenly felt scared.

Kish became serious.

"So choose, whether you'll be a successful star? or you'll be living in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Your choice. Your problem is too small for you to cost your life."

I never thought that the Kish Royce Defamente that everyone loves had a heart like this. And Kish offered his hand to Cheenie. Cheenie took his hand and Kish grab her so that she will come down. After that, Kish turn around and goes away.

When I look at Cheenie, I saw her burning red face.

"He saved me." she smiled like she was in love.

"Don't tell me you're just doing this to make Kish Defamente save you." I glared at her.

"Please, do not tell anyone about this." she begged.

Then I hugged her.
