get a reaction from her. I wouldn't put it past Bianca to pay someone to make my life hell. She tried to do it months ago with the guards. She could have tried again with the waitress who just got fired.

"What?" Bianca asked, but I saw the shock in her eyes.

I knew it!

Bianca had confirmed my thought, making me angry. The encounter with the waitress had not exhausted all of my energy and I felt ready to go for another round. 

It could not believe Bianca wasn't going to stop. She was going to do everything in her power to make sure my life would be hell.

Or maybe she wanted me out of the tour.

Either way, I wanted nothing more rather than to jump her and kick her ass in front of everyone.

It would teach the bitch not to mess with me.

Then I started thinking of something else. I could save the bitch for last, but I would like to keep her on her toes, wondering when I'll strike.

"Three strikes."

Bianca looked at me as if I had gone crazy. I noticed the boys quickly approaching her side as they stared at me through their sunglasses.

"What?" Bianca was confused.

"You even want to pretend you didn't hear what I said? I'm giving you three strikes, bitch!"

Bianca was still puzzled.

"No, let me make it five. I'm giving you five strikes. See, I am that generous!"

Bianca smirked at me.

"I am warning you right now. Tell whoever you hired to hack my Twitter account to back off, or the both of you will get it! Again: FIVE STRIKES, BIANCA! Stop messing with me. If you continue ruining my life, I promise that I will attack you. You will not see it coming! But when you do, I will make sure to beat you up and land you in the hospital," I smiled. "Oh, yeah! I know you have accomplices. Feel free to send that stupid blonde you hired to try to kill me."

Bianca visibly paled.

"She and those two men-- you know which two men I'm talking about, right?"

Bianca didn't answer.

"I'm coming for them too!"

"Emery, you are causing a scene. Calm down!" Selena yelled at me.

"No! I refuse to calm down! That bitch tried to kill me!" I yelled, pointing at Bianca. I moved to face the said bitch.

"You better enjoy this month because I will not go away until I see you rot in jail for all the pain you have caused me. I will dig up all of your dirty little secrets and expose them to the world. Just like that waitress, you will be garbage when I'm done with you."

With that promise, I turned towards the exit of the restaurant. I needed to cool off the storm of emotions I had been feeling from the recent fight with the waitress.

Wow! I had confronted and threatened Bianca twice and got a waitress fired. 

All in a day.

If someone were to ask me if I felt bad for getting the waitress fired, I would deny it. I did not feel bad at all. 

After a while of getting an unexpected walk around the city, my stomach grumbled. I sighed before deciding to look for a place to eat.

 

 

CHAPTER SEVEN

 

Emery's P.O.V

 

The weekend couldn't have arrived sooner. The boys had been given a two-days break, and so they were allowed to spend it however they wanted. I wasn't expected to be around them, and so I went to my home in Crystalia where I was to meet Ashley. 

I had missed my new house since I only spent a week with it.

As soon as I arrived, it didn't take me long to set myself up for the day. Ashley had arrived hours later, and so we planned to spend the day indoors. I was busy studying the language of programming on my laptop while she was busy with things on her phone.

"Do you know what the media said about what happened two days ago?" Ashley suddenly asked, breaking the long hour of silence. 

I had told Ashley about the waitress incident, and she was both worried and excited for me. She was glad I stood up for myself, but she was worried that people would have reasons to hate me more, especially since I got the waitress fired.

"Is it bad?" I wondered. Ashley winced.

"Well..." she trailed off. 

That was all I needed to know that it was bad. 

I had been on the couch opposite her, so I got up and went to see what she was checking on her phone. It was a blog by the popular E! News, and it read:

"Emery Davis has done it again. In a spectacle that occurred today, the O.B hater was seen insulting a waitress for doing her job."

"What? That's not what happened! If anything, she wasn't doing her job," I commented.

"Then Emery proceeded to slap the girl before the manager interrupted the fight. The poor girl had been yelled at by her employer before he fired her. This was all caught on video."

Crap.

"Afterwards, Bianca was seen marching towards Emery. They had a talk, and in that talk, Emery speculated that Bianca had paid the waitress to try to humiliate her in public. Emery Davis also threatened to expose Bianca's 'dirty little secrets' to the world and make her pay for what she did to her. This has brought out the belief that Emery is crazy and wants to get rid of the lovely Bianca, Zane Marsh's girlfriend. Also, it seemed confusing that Bianca was in the same restaurant as Emery.

Was Emery telling the truth? And what was it about Bianca's dirty little secret? Share your thoughts by commenting..." I scrolled down the screen, seeing a headline that had me seeing red.

"Related: A petition is being signed for a waitress to get her job back."

I clicked on the link and read through it. I hoped it wasn't the same waitress I had humiliated in public. However, I was proven wrong.

"This is bad," Ashley said. "More than one million reads? Crap! Emery, what are we going to do?"

"The waitress has a petition? Damn it!" I yelled, not believing the absurdity of the situation. Ashley gave me a look that said 'Really?' Then I recalled what she said.

"I don't know," I replied. "The only thing I have to do is expose Bianca, and perhaps all this trouble will end."

Then Ashley's phone played a tune. She checked it, and I watched as her eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no."

"What?" I asked, then she flipped her phone so I could see what was wrong.

@EmeryDavis: To those who are fans of the Ordinary Brothers, I say fuck you!

I was frozen in position as I read through the post. There was a bit of silence in the room as I read the comment over and over again.

"No, no, no!" I yelled, standing up from the couch while shaking my head in disbelief.

Bianca had done it again. 

Doesn't she ever take a break?

For a moment, I believed she had posted the tweet in payback for messing up with her plans and getting the waitress fired. Or maybe it was for threatening her in public. Whatever it was, it didn't change the fact that I was angered by it.

"This is bad," Ashley said. "This is really, really bad."

"How many have seen it?" I asked.

"Ten thousand and counting."

I winced.

"Emery!" I heard Liam's voice. I turned, thinking that he was in the house. He yelled my name again, and that was when I realized he was outside.

Wow. He had read the tweet and came to me fast.

"I don't want to see him or any of them right now," I spoke.

"But you have to clear the air with them," Ashley said.

"They wouldn't believe me!"

"But I am a witness to what happened. Maybe they will believe you this time."

I thought over what Ashley said and hoped that she was right. I got up from my couch and headed outside, my friend following closely behind.

I momentarily came to a stop when I realized Liam was not alone. The rest of his bandmates, Selena, Erick and Justin were also there. They were all glaring at me in anger.

No surprise there.

"Really? You had to insult our fans?" Harry asked with sarcasm. I gave him a glare.

"I did not post it," I replied.

"It's true," Ashley said. "I was there when the post was made. She was not even touching a phone or her laptop."

I nodded to confirm what Ashley said.

"Would you quit it with the lies?" Ethan demanded in a shout.

Well, I guessed they didn't believe Ashley. I gave my friend an apologetic look, but she just shrugged.

"Well, I tried. Remind me how you were friends with these a-holes?" Ashley stated, seriously confused, and I tried to hold in my laughter.

"Emery, this is serious," Erick stated, ruining the short moment between Ashley and me. I sighed, turning to face him.

"I know it is serious, and I have told you many times: I did not post it! Would you guys open your eyes for once?"

"And do what?" Logan asked. "Let you trick us into our own deaths?"

I slapped both hands onto the sides of my face. 

There was no winning with those guys.

"The only person tricking you is Bianca," I stated, earning rolls of eyes from everyone.

"Here we go again," Liam commented with a shake of his head.

"You guys seriously still don't believe me?"

No reply.

"Even when I have a witness?"

Still no reply. Just angry glares.

"Wow. What happened to make you despise me like this?"

"Um, you tried to kill me?" Liam said with a tone that was meant to make the situation obvious.

"Don't play smart with me right now. I know this had begun way before I 'tried to kill you'. You guys had been distant ever since Selena left to pursue a career in music. I just thought that you were too busy to chat, but now that I think about it, you had been avoiding me. Even you, my dearest cousin."

Everyone tensed at my sudden realization.

"Are you guys hiding something from me?"

"The only one who hid something is you. You hid your true awful nature, and now that we've found out your plan, you're angry you can't get to us anymore," Ethan stated.

I took in deep breaths to try to calm my anger.

"Emery, you do know that what you did was bad, right?" Erick asked.

"I didn't do it!"

"Bullshit!" Harry stated. 

I was getting tired of proving myself right, only for people to insist that I was wrong. And so I snapped.

I turned to face Harry, outstretching my hand. My powers held him in place as I quickly brought him up from the ground.

"Not. Bullshit!"

"Emery put him down!" Erick said with a worried expression. I turned to face him and noticed the look of fear in him. I was surprised, looking at the others and seeing the same expression on their faces.

I released my hold on Harry. He collapsed onto the ground. The chances of obtaining injuries were reduced by the grass below him. I took in deep breaths to calm myself.

"I just don't understand you guys. Why the hell did you all look at me with fear in your eyes? I wouldn't have killed him," I spoke as Harry got up from the ground. "You would know that. But now..."

I sighed in exasperation.

"Let's go, Ashley," I told the girl beside me. I turned towards the door to my home, barely sparing a glance to the people
