What's the name of this story? Chapter 18

Chapter 18- The odd one out

Jack walked out of the medlab. ‘Shit who can do such a thing? And why attack Pange out of all people?’ Angela said that they had a chat about an attack on Squidaria and she left then the next hing they find her bleeding to death. Dammit this is all my fault now she’s in a comma with a 50/50 chance of making it. Jack decided it was finally time to face up to Madeline. Crap what would she think of him?
Jack used his ID and entered her new prison. Surprisingly it was the room right next to the throne room. Angela and her wacky ways to imprison people… He walked in and saw Madeline. His id fell to the floor as he saw her pale face, her hands and feet cuffed to the wall so he was hanging in the air. Why hadn’t he come earlier. WHY? He ran to her.
She couldn’t open her eyes. She didn’t have the strength but she knew that scent… it was his scent. She didn’t want to talk to him and for a second she was glad she didn’t have the energy to look at him. He grabbed the keys in his pocket and unlocked her cuffs at once. She was unstable and fell but Jack caught her in his arms. He sat down, Madeline lying in his arms and sprawled across his lap.
She made a soft noise. “I’m here, Madeline. Shhhh. I’m here” He brought his face to hers and rested it there.

Chase had gotten back from his last war successful two days ago. Lisa was concerned. During those two days he hadn’t once come to see her. Lisa paced to his room. Why? What was going on?
She opened the door and walked in on a Chase thoroughly indulged in a book. “Chase?”
He lifted his head and was surprised to see Lisa. Not really he had been avoiding Lisa for a while with no good reason or perhaps a reason he couldn’t define?
“Where were you?” Lisa asked.
“I- I was..” He was speechless, King Chase the conquerer was speechless! Damn you say something to the girl!
“I don’t know,” Great going Einstein.
“What do you mean you don’t know?!” What’s he doing? Playing with her? I’m not in the mood..
“I’m sorry. Just things in my head I need to clear out.”
Lisa tried to look at this from his point of view, trying to be understanding. Chase held out his arms and Lisa walked into them. They stood there for what seemed like hours in utter silence. She broke apart and looked at him.
“Chase do you love me?”
The was no response from him. ‘Seriously is it that hard for him to bloody answer. Yes or No! She would prefer the former but anything just say anything!’
“I don’t know…”
“What do you mean you—“ She was cut of by his deep kiss.
“I just don’t know yet…” There was something inside him. Something keeping him.

Mimi looked at the sheet of paper and sighed. She had made her decision. She wasn’t one of them…She just wasn’t. Her conscience spoke to her, *Are you really not one of them?*
‘Yeah I’m not. Why you think otherwise?’
*It might be that you’re the leader and you’re abandoning them. Some leader you turned out to be*
‘It wasn’t me. Shellfish said that I was one of them’
*So little innocent Mimi always does what she is told?*
‘Hey who’s fukin side are you on?’
*I’m the disagreeing conscience what do you think brainiac?*
She sighed and got up. No this was it. She looked at her farewell note once more And left it on the table. She had done everything she would to help. Even Nate seemed happy these days with Astaroche’s company. William had Yuffie. Eminence had James. Everyone was happy. She was the odd one out and once she left the mutiny would be real. She jumped out of the window and grabbed the first vehicle she saw and drove off.
