Free Me From My Shackles

   It had been a few weeks sense Octavia and I performed at Aria's place, and its Friday. Awesome. We had gotten a good idea, and gotten ourselves a job. We were performers who would play at restaurants, cafe's, and at peoples houses for dates. At first business was slow. But on the fifth time we played at a restaurant for the first time, somebody had recorded us and  published a video of us on You tube and face book.When people heard us play, they started giving us a call and scheduling times for us to come over. So far we had $512. The video of us had also gotten onto our schools website,

   "Hey Atlas? I have an important question." Said Lyra as we walked down the halls of  CHS.

"What is it?" I asked.

"What are you going to do about Summer Breeze?" asked Lyra.

"I have been thinking about it a lot...I'm going to give her one chance. If she ruins it, then she ruins it. I never talk to her again and I would appreciate it if you didn't either" I replied.

"Okay...I noticed that in fifth hour she keeps trying to talk to you when we are leaving...What do you say to her?" she asked.

"I will answer you when I think its a good idea. at lunch I'm going to give her one last chance." I replied.

"How exactly would she blow it?" She asked. I laughed, but turned it into a cough. "That's what she said..." I said. Lyra rolled her eyes.

"If she tries to hit on me, harm you in any way possible, hurts me or my friends, or tries driving us apart, she will blow it." I said. When we walked down the halls to our lockers, the first thing I notice is Indigo at her locker, looking sadder then I have ever seen her before. I walk up to her and notice that she is holding a photo of her and Fang, holding each other. I notice a few tear marks on the photo and get real scareed, to be honest.

"Hey Indago. What's up?" I ask concerned.

"Hey, Atlas...I'm sorry you have to see me like this...It's just...Ledger and Bluebell...They..." She tried. then she sank to the floor and put her hands on her face. I could see her crying from between her fingers. I kneeled down next to her and put my binders on the floor. We still had ten minutes before we even had to head to class.

"Indigo...I'm so sorry...But please. Tell me he isn't hurt, or worse..." I said.

"Hes hurt emotionally. They intoxicated the punch at the dance a few days ago...I drank too much. Ledger came and I mistook him for Fang...I kissed him and Fang saw us...He is at his brothers place right now. He needs a break. I hope he knows the full story...I'm so sorry, Fang..." She says. Sunset, Soul, Swift, Pinkie and Night saw me comforting Indigo and came over. We all comforted her and  helped her up. Night gace her a handkerchief and she tried up the tears. When We all got to our class about seven and a half minutes later, class started and we learned more boring stuff.

   When lunch started, we all headed to the lunch room and sat at our tables.

"I heard that there is a new star wars movie coming out later this year." Said Soul.

"Of course you do." Said Clyde.

"Stealing plans for the death star or something like that." Said Soul. We all agreed that it sounded cool. and started a new topic that reminded me of someone.

"So Atlas...Hows it with you and Lyra?"

"Great. I have a few valentines presents for her after school. I talked to her folks about it, first." I said.

"Cool! What is it?" said Punk.

"I will tell you after I give it to her. Lets just say she will hopefully join us on some occasions..." I said, mimicking me pumping a shotgun. The others nodded there heads and said "Ohhh".

"That reminds me...Where is Summer?" I ask. Warhawk points at a table full of people with upset looks on there faces.

"Why?" asks Warhawk.

"I need to apologize to her and give her a chance." I said. I walked over to the table. Summer noticed me walking over, and put on her jackets hood.

"Summer, can you follow me for a second? I need to talk to you." I said.

"O-Okay..." Said Summer half sadly and half nervous. When we got away from everybody else, I began our conversation.

"I'm giving you a chance. One however." I said. Summer looked up to me, with  a shocked expression on her face.

"Are you serious? After all I did to you?" she asked.

"Yes, However, if you try to harm Lyra in any way, shape or form or any of my friends, try to drive us apart, or try  to flirt with me, you have wasted your chance." I said. I gave her a piece of paper with my phone number on it.

"Thank you...So much..."

     When school was over, I asked to use my dads car for a special plan for Lyra. I had also texted Summer for a few minutes. At 8:00 PM, I put on a  Silver tuxedo and put a large box in my dads trunk and drove to Lyra's. When I arrived at Lyra's place, I was greeted by Lyra's father, who already knew was about to happen. He rushed me inside with the Box, and we all sat in the living room. Lyra, not knowing what was about to happen, was surprised and very happy to see me. They adults went into their room, leaving me and her alone.

"Hey babe. I thought we should celebrate Valentine's day a little early this year." I said.

"Yes please!" said Lyra.

"Open it up." I said, handing her the box. She opened it up with a smile, and pulled out a tacticle vest, trench coat, face mesh, goggles, four small boxes of C02, two plastic bottles of BB's, and a P90 and Glock 20 Airsoft guns, and a box or chocolates. When she finished pulling the things out, she ran over to me, and did what I never expected her to do. She kissed me. On the lips. When we finished, we looked each other in the eye, and said two words at the same time.

"I love you"
