Chapter 7 - Chapter seven : The Path To Closeness

"Why me? I didn't make it like this" Addison frowned.

"Does it matter?" He left her side and went to get the mop stick.

"Here" He gave it to her.

"Make this place sparkly clean...to what it was originally"

"Are you kidding me? I'm ain't your maid"

"Hey newbie" Ash steps closer to her poking her forehead.

"If I order you to do something then you just do as you're told. No talking back...or I might just get angry alright?" He threatens.

Addison close her eyes folding her palms in anger.

"Hold it in...hold it in. Remember you're doing this for Aiden...don't ruin it. You can do it. Kicking asses will only get you in more trouble" She said within trying to comport herself.

"Why? You can't do it? Then leave the group! You're free to leave anytime" Ash smirk.

Addison looks up and smiles.

"I just need to clean...it's no big deal" She left his side after grabbing the mop stick. Ash smirks folding his arms.

"Let's see how long you'll last"

For over an hour, Addison has been cleaning nonstop. And it seems to be no end for it. As she cleans the house gets messier.

It was as if the world was against her. Ash wouldn't stop making everything hard for her.

Fin and Bin at the other hand are not doing anything to stop him. Seems they're enjoying as he bullies her.

Addison groans moving from the kitchen back to the living room. She exhales in frustration to see where she had cleaned just minutes ago untidy again. Fuming, she held unto the mop stick tightly trying to compose herself. She might just blow off any minute soon with the anger building up in her right now.

This suffering seem never ceasing.

For hours she has been cleaning and cleaning only for it to continue getting dirty.

She looks around just to see them all busy with one thing or the other.

Bin was listening to music with his eyes closed.

Ash was making some dance moves while Fin was on his phone. And here she was busy cleaning the whole place up. Exhausted and thirsty.

What do they take her for?

Enough is enough.

A sly smirk spread on her lips, she dropped the mop stick.

A loud thud made Ash stops what he was doing.

"OH, MY GOD!" He shrieked running to Addison who laid flat on the floor.

"Guys guys! I think the newbie is dead" He announced dramatically.

Both snaps their heads up rushing to his side.

"What happened?" Fin asked rather serene.

"What did you do to him Ash?" Bin asked with an accusing tone.

"I...i did nothing! Hey! Hey!! get up!" Ash kicked her leg but she wouldn't budge.

"Should we just bury him silently. Or we go dump him in the woods when it gets dark? Words mustn't get out that we killed the newbie we'll be ruined" Ash said only for Bin to hit his occiput.

"Hey!!"

"Why we? You bullied him...his death is on you alone"

"Are you being serious right now?"

Fin bent and take a close look at her.

"He's not breathing" He said after placing a finger on her nostrils.

"He really died? What the f**k!"

"Do something! He says he's not breathing" Bin said to Ash who only scratches his hair in frustration.

"I...I didn't mean to kill him. I only wanna make him suffer for a bit!"

"Now look at where it lands you. Do something" Robin urge him.

"Hey if it's a girl I would have gladly performed CPR. But him? Ew!" He scrunch his face.

"Then get ready to go to jail. Does that mean I'm gonna lose my dummer" Robin pats his back.

"Robin you're not helping! Fin can't you bring him back to life?"

"Cause he's the saviour?" Robin teased.

"A try wouldn't be bad" Fin said looking at Addison. The corner of his lips went up a little.

"The saviour has talked what are you gonna do?" Bin asked.

"Resuscitate him" He replied and swiftly, he brought his hands up landing it on her chest.

Addison's eyes flew opened instantly.

"He's alive!" Ash squeals in excitement.

Addison looks at Fin who was looking down at her. Her eyes went down to his palms which were still on her chest right on her b**bs and she took her eyes back to his. His palms pressed lightly on it making her eyes widened the more.

Both their eyes grew big in their sockets in shock.

"Fin!!" Ash shrieked squatting before Finlay who hit his butt of the floor immediately Addison pushed him away from her.

"You okay?" He asked worried. Fin nodded and Ash helped him up.

Addison sprang up also holding her chest. Her eyes dilating in their sockets with her heart slamming hard in its ribcage.

Ash turns to her angrily. He stood up and pushed her back hard. Addison stagger backwards.

"What the hell! He saved your damn ass and the best you could do is treat him like that!"

"Then...should I have just do nothing when he was molesting me!" Addison shot back.

"What? You_"

"Stop Ash...it's alright" Fin pulled Ash who was about charging at Addison back.

"I'll be in my room" He shot Addison one last glance before leaving.

"Finn!" Ash runs after him after shooting Addison a death glare also.

"Why are you overeating?" Bin asked with folded arms.

"I'm...I'm not"

"You are...you're being sensitive over a little thing. That's suspicious" He said leaving also.

Addison exhales deeply.

"He couldn't have caught on, could he?" She mutters hugging herself.

LATER ( PRACTICE ROOM )

"HEY! WON'T YOU GET THE BEAT RIGHT! ARE YOU HERE TO PLAY! DO WE SEEM LIKE A JOKE TO YOU!!" Bin yelled at Addison who flinched.

This is the sixth time he'll be reprimanding her ever since they started the practice.

Addison sighs in clearly frustrated. Bin just won't back off and continue annoying her.

"Let's go one more time. Hey newbie get your head together!" Finn chided also.

"I'm sorry" She breathes.

"Again!" Bin said. Ash hits the drumsticks together thrice before hitting it on the drum set. Finn's guitar followed also playing his own rhythm of beat.

Addison sighs nervously peering at the music sheet in her front. It was now her turn to rhyme with her piano. She placed her fingers on the keyboard and started playing slowly.

Bin brought his hand to the mic and as he was about opening his mouth to sing, the beats went off in a disarray. Now it was Bin's turn to flare up. He stops and face the shaky Addison.

Addison started moving back shaking as he walks closer to her.

"Hey! Are you here to play? We haven't even done anything for the past two hours now because of you YOU KNOW THAT!! You think we have all the time in our hands! The sixth album would be released in a few weeks time will you continue doing this!!" He yelled at her face making her flinches.
