Lemme know what you think, I really need your support ❤️❤️
JoJo's POV The car screeches to a halt and I'm swinging the door open, and sprinting to the sidewalk to puke out my guts on the sidewalk. I heave and hurl until my stomach is empty, my throat is scratchy and my eyes sting from the stench. I groan, “I really don't feel so good.” “You’re having a concussion, Dukes.” A warm palm is pressed against my forehead and I moan at the feeling, “So warm.” A plastic bottle and two pills are nudged into my hand. His voice orders, “Drink.” “So grumpy,” I mumble. “Drink.” He urges again. “What is this? Poison?” He doesn't respond so I lift my head to see his face but the asshole's busy typing on his phone. Well, fuck him. I rinse my mouth off the vomit stench then swallow the pills with another gulp of water. Feeling my stomach settle a bit, I stand up. I need to get home. He's already waiting in the car, “Hurry up, Dukes you're burning daylight.” I glare at him, I'm feeling a bit better doesn't mean I'm in the best condition to “hurr
Jeremy's POV My work cell buzzes from the drawer and I ignore it in place of slathering cream all over my Jawline Like an annoying fly, the cell buzzes again. I answer. “What’d you want?” “Manners boy!” A voice gone scratchy from seeing the bottom of a bottle for decades answers. “Father,” I grit out. He grunts and tries to stifle a cough, “What’s this I'm hearing?” “What are you hearing?” “You’re in a relationship?” I grab the razor and methodically begin scraping off the shaving cream. “Answer the goddamn question, Kila.” “Yes.” “How dare you! You piece of dogshit, I raised you to be a formidable ruler yet here you are, led by your cock, blinded by a piece—” “I haven't forgotten your teachings, Father.” I cut him off. “Then loose the girl.” “No.” “What did you say, boy?” “I'm not getting rid of her, not yet.” “What are you up to, Kila?” “Nothing that'll affect you in the long run.” “Who is that child?” “The daughter of an acquaintance.” “Wrap up your games, kid.
JOJO'S POV The last 24 hours have been a shit show inside a freaking rollercoaster. First of all, Mallory somehow convinced me to seek out Vongov, grab his phone, and install some bug she created on it. “Why do I have to do it?” She gave me a look, “Seriously, Jo?” “I thought avoiding him was the new MO until we found a weakness.” “This is the way to find that weakness Jo, now suck up, and do your part to make this thing work.” That was all the scolding I needed. I ended up in a gym, snooping through his stuff while he showered. Before I could return his phone—which took longer than expected because I'm no tech wiz— he was gone. I had to chase the asshole halfway to CrispFries and immediately regretted it. I should've reported the phone as a lost and found case and left it with the receptionist or dropped it in the freaking locker room. Now, I'm here, not even 24 hours later with a loopy memory, an aching heart that won't stop hurting with every step I take, and Vongov, who I
JOJO'S POV “I kissed him and he just left.” “What?” Mal and I huddle closer. After the incident with the asshole—Yeah, I'm calling him that now— I went home, too ashamed to show my face to anyone. Mallory called and I gave an “I think I caught the flu.” excuse, she didn't push it though we both knew that was the worst half-assed lie in the history of lies. Kendrick didn't call though we had three classes together, one of which we were supposed to be partners. Maybe Mal filled her in or Maybe she didn't care. I don't care. I've spent the entire day watching X-rated movies on Prime and eating anything I could find. I think I'm depressed. Luckily, Mal brought her homework to my room and whaddya know, Kenny was right behind her. Now, we're lying on my bed, homework set aside, munching on my junk stash while Kenny gushes about some guy she'd met up with over a week ago. Yeah, the same Kenny who cried like a baby after Jerem– the Asshole's tongue got stuck in her mouth less th
Jeremy's POV My fist punches through my reflection and shards of glass shatter around me. Broken. Fuck! The beast clamors against my ribcage, looking for something, anything to destroy. “Need to hurt!” It screeches, clawing, bruising, biting to be let out. I need control! I stalk into the bathroom and throw open the cabinet, a small first-aid kit sits behind bottles of Oxy, Prozac, Luvox, fentanyl, Morphine, and Codeine amongst others. My hand hovers over the Morphine but I end up slamming the cabinet door. I can't give up control. I head into the room and try to bandage my injured knuckles but my hands are shaky and my head is clanging with voices. I'm on edge and my mind, it's driving me crazy. “Just take the meds and let go, Kil.” I hear my father's voice and freeze. “You're in so much pain, let me fix it.” He's looking down at me with worry. No no no! That is not my father! The voice changes and it turns soft and soothing, “You've held on for so long, Мое солнце, you'
JOJO'S POV “Get Out.” That Asshole got up and dragged me down the stairs down to the foyer and slammed the door in my face. “Screw you, Vongov!” I scream at the slammed door. He's such a conundrum. One minute, we’re laughing and joking about childhood nicknames, the next, he's looking at me with murder in his eyes and dragging me out of his house like a bad booty call. What the hell does he want from me?! “What if Kendrick and Mallory were right after all and I can't handle Jeremy Vongov?” My injured pride pokes at me. But if I can't deal with this, then what use am I to the plan, to my friends, and to keeping them alive? I need to prove myself. I need to think! I need a plan that requires killing five birds with one stone. Figuratively, of course. A good scheme that'll set Kingston in Vongov's black book without giving me the spotlight. An imaginary lightbulb flickers in my head and I grab onto the flickering light. I got it! I just need to fuck Kingston! Again, Not lite
JEREMY'S POV I developed the discipline of minding my business a long time ago but there’s an itch I need to scratch. An itch in the form of a redhead with innocent eyes and a smart mouth. I dial the only other number on my speed dial, he picks on the first ring. “How's the party?” “Who's this?” “Don't play with me, Falconer.” There's a pause. “Kila?” “It's me.” “What the hell is happening, who hijacked your phone?” “I just confirmed my identity.” “You never bother with these things, Kila, I’m just curious.” “Don't act stupid Kai, it doesn't suit you.” “The ladies don't agree.” “Arrogant prick.” “What’s that Kila, you getting jealous?” “Fuck you, I wanted to check in on the party.” “What the hell do you mean, 'check in on the party’?” “Are you ha– having any problems?” “Not… really. My bouncers are all the help I need, and if I need more muscle, Junnev's right here.” “Heard he got smacked around a lot. How's he?” “Holding up like a champ. Says he's got a headach
JEREMY'S POV The Harley growls as I speed into the dead night to Kingston's little party. The machine thrums in tune with the beastly throbbing in my veins. I release the throttle and the bike goes even faster though not in tune with the urgency racing through me. If he so much as lays a finger on her, I'll gut him. I'll destroy him. I'll erase his puny existence from the face of the fucking earth. Tires screech against the asphalt as I round the bend leading to his house and my headlights catch a female figure sitting on the sidewalk. I'm zooming past the figure until I catch a glimpse of red hair and slam down on the brakes. My Harley screeches to a stop. I hop down and turn the machine towards the figure. The headlights shine on a familiar redhead who hisses at the sight of the light. Her elbows cover her eyes as she tips an empty bottle of Smirnoff to her chapped lips. My eyes rake over her appearance and my jaw forms a tightline. The fuck is she wearing? A tiny strin
