It All Started With A DARE •83•
Jade's POV.I rushed out of my room and at the same time strapped my bag on my shoulders. I met my parents in the kitchen, "I have to go now, bye Mom, and you too Dad." I pecked their cheeks."Better get to talk to that boy before you think of returning here in the afternoon," Mom told me, anger was slightly showing in her voice and I gasped."Mom!""Don't mind your mother, she is still very angry that you left the serving for her to attend to Kayden's friends yesterday, you should have known her by now. Now, run along, so that you won't be late." Dad said to me."Thanks, Dad." I pecked Mom's cheek again and watched her trying to hide her smile. I chuckled and ran out of the house. I flapped down a cab and entered, after calling the name of my school to the cab driver, he drove off.I got to school and the first place I ran to was the parking lot, I went to check if Kayden's car was there but none of the cars in the parking lot looked like his. Maybe he is not in school yet, or bette

Jade's POV.It was a few days after Kayden's words of avoiding me and I just realized that he was dead serious. He meant it. For the past few days in school, he had been avoiding me badly and he even missed classes before he didn't want to see me. His reason must be really serious. I texted him every minute and he refused to reply to my messages, though he read them, I'm sure he did, he just didn't reply to them, also, my calls, he didn't pick up any of it and it was frustrating.Then, there is Athena, who challenged me would get Kayden back, she never meant a second in school to laugh at my face, especially the times that I would be chasing Kayden behind and he would turn a corner and just disappear, or mix with the crowd. I was almost going insane and can't he see that I was becoming distracted?I remember when I was been questioned in class, for the first time in my life, I couldn't answer a question, I knew the answer, but at that moment, my head was blank, I almost spilled it ou

Kayden's POV.Ignoring Jade had been difficult, the most difficult thing I had ever done in my life. I missed them so much and I regretted my actions toward everybody but I couldn't go to her, Dad had still yet to find the person who was trying to kill me, which meant that my life was still in danger and so was Jade's. If I keep her closer to me, she would only be hurt and who knows, we might not be so lucky next time, the bullet can take her and she would suffer severe pain, which she doesn't deserve.I wasn't expecting her to punch my gut, but damn! She did! I'm dating the craziest girl ever and apparently, she is still the sweetest.I kissed her with all the hunger in me, all the ones I had been keeping in since those past days when I was blindly ignoring her. Just as she said, I couldn't sleep too, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything without seeing her face, her smile and I longed to touch her. Every time she ran after me to talk to me, I would hide and secretly watch as she t

Jade's POV.I was finally happy, very very happy that Kayden and I are back together. After that day in school, all the drama and all, we were back together to how we were before, even closer, though Kayden still got his fears I know that everything would be okay, nothing can go wrong, not when I am ready for any shit. Like I'm that powerful.Since we reconciled, we have never gone out at night, since he had no idea when we might be attacked again and nights are always the best time for the wicked people to work. It was another weekend, I was in my parents' restaurant, helping them attend to some customers as I took orders for them with a smile on my face, knowing fully well that Kayden would already be on his way to the restaurant. He wants to spend the full day with me which I love. I was clad in a white half-songlet and pink palazzo, I matched it with a white five-inch spike heels. I had dropped my white demi jacket on the hanger to prevent it from staining when I was busy servin

Kayden's POV.Oh no! I watched as the missile was been shot with my eyes focusing on both the road and the missile as it approached us. "Kayden, we're going to die!" Jade shouted, her fears escalating and I was scared too.I was trying to reason like all those actors in movies and when I thought that it was time, I maneuvered the car to the left, driving into the woods and we escaped the missile, it hit the road and exploded. The effect from it lifted our car from the floor from its butt, but I was able to bring it down again."Oh my God! It's a narrow escape!" Jade shouted again. "You're good, Kay." She teased.I glared at her. She still had time to tease when our lives were on the lane. "Pick my phone and call Maxwell." Maxwell was the head of the guard Dad assigned to guide me. I don't know what was taken them too long to take down a fucking car, will they wait til we die? I tried to check the route we were going in the GPS, but it was skipping, there was no service in the woods.

Jade's POV.I laughed when Kayden told his Dad to leave, but that did not even hurt the man, he entered anyway even without Kayden's concept. "Son, we need to talk."I stopped what I was doing, ready to get up and give them some privacy, but I was stopped by Kayden. "Continue what you're doing Jade, it's more important." He didn't even mind his Dad's presence, he spoke sultrily."You're embarrassing the lady, come on." Mr Walters said and my embarrassment rose to its highest level.Kayden turned his head to look at me and he must have noticed that his Dad was right. He motioned for me to get up from him, which I did. I watched as he stood up and flexed his muscles and wiggled his waist."Thanks, babe, I feel so good." I nodded, I couldn't talk the way I wanted to, his Dad was present and I didn't want to offend him. Kayden frowned and turned to his Dad, "Leave Dad, you're making her uncomfortable."My eyes widened when I heard that. He shouldn't have said it, because my nervousness r

There was no more fun and Brandon with the other guys did not cease to tease us with it."Uncle Henry!" I opened the car's door and ran to him as I

Jade's POV.It was another day of school and I was in my room, dressing up for school as I was on a video call with Kayden. He was in his room, under curfew. He was to hide himself from his attackers til he or she would be found.I had taken my bath and brushed my teeth in the bathroom. I had also dried my body and a long towel was tightly fixed around my chest."........are you telling me that you will be in there without coming out til the coast is clear and you're free to leave for anywhere you are?" I questioned him, already knowing his answer."Yes." He replied. "Dad is trying, I'm beginning to pity him," Kayden said to me."I thought you hated him. Remember you said that he is paying for his sin and for being the very worst father ever." I knew he had said that without thinking and now, he was regretting it, I just want him to laugh and be happy. I mean, he is not even attacked yet, so he deserves to be happy.He growled childishly, "I was a fool when I said that, though I will

Jade's POV.I smiled as I remembered what happened in those past weeks. Kayden woke up and his Dad fainted because he was overjoyed, and he was admitted too in the hospital. The doctors were surprised when Kayden woke up, they confessed that they thought that he wouldn't wake up til maybe a year or two since he was so cold and lifeless, he was already like a dead man and they thought he would never make it. He was shot in the chest, the shoulder, and the back, which pierced through to his stomach. He was so dead, he lost almost all the blood in his body and it was a miracle that he was alive and I can't stop being thankful.When he woke up, he refused to let me leave his presence and I was not ready to leave too, I wanted him closer to me as much as he did me. I wanted to be in his arms and never let go. When the doctors saw that we both were not letting each other go, they had no choice but to admit us into the same ward and they would treat us on the same bed, inject us with our me

Jade's POV.I found myself in a dark open space, but I was not afraid, I was walking hand in hand with Kayden. Though the place was filled with darkness, I could feel the wetness of the ground, which felt like flowers around. It must be a flower garden, but I couldn't see it. How did I know that it was Kayden I was walking with? Because I was feeling the same way I always feel anytime I was with Kayden and his hand fit rightly in mine.I glanced at his dark and he chuckled like he always does. I stared away and walked more. Suddenly a bright light showed around and I gasped. The light began to pull me closer and I was willingly following it, it was calling out to me, but I noticed that Kayden was not following me anymore and his hand was slipping away from mine. I wanted to shout his name but I couldn't, it was like my lips were sealed. I took hold of his hand with my both hands, not ready to let him go, but his hand eventually slipped off from mine and the light took me away, and th

Author's POV.Kayden was surprised to see his uncle standing right behind Jade, what was he doing there? And in a place like this. He thought."Uncle Theodore?" He had to ask again to confirm that he was not seeing in twos."Kayden, Kayden, Kayden, my favorite nephew." Theodore spoke in a singsong and with each word, he was pulling himself closer to Kayden while Kayden's eyes rose in confusion. "Did you miss me?"Kayden couldn't reply to him, he had his mind clouded with the same question. What is Uncle Theodore doing here? Though the answer to his question was glaring at him he didn't want to believe it. Theodore was his uncle for Christ's sake, the only child of his grandparents after his father!"Why aren't you talking? Still, I'm shocked. Oh no! That is not nice!" Theodore's voice was laced with mockery."Why? I mean, what are you doing here? I... I wasn't planning on seeing you here!" Kayden's eyes went to Jade and saw two hefty men holding her tightly. He returned his eyes to Th

Jade's POV.I felt myself awake but my eyes were closed, I was hearing some disturbing voices in my head, and I almost thought that it was Mom and Dad who were planning a prank on me. I tried to lift my hand to wipe the dizziness off so that I could be able to open my eyes but I couldn't raise my hands, none of them was raising and I feared, what's happening to me? Why are my hands stuck? I didn't have answers to my questions so I decided to pick the words the people around me were saying.".....she is still asleep, why the hell is that?!" One of them thundered and I almost shivered, the voice was so loud and daring. Dad's voice cannot sound like that and I began to put meaning to things around me.The event in the restroom rewind in my head and I got it, I was sedated and kidnapped. Damn! That person that flirted something on my face, how couldn't I notice it? One person cannot come to the school to take me, I should have thought of it very well before walking out, I could have peepe

Uncle Henry's POV.I should have known that something like that was bound to happen. I should have known that he would not give up, he would find something to pull Kayden out of the mansion and I should have known that the target would be Jade, my poor niece.I know that since it happened that way, we couldn't have been able to prevent it. If Jade was tightly secure like Kayden was, I was sure that he would use another method like maybe kidnap any of Jade's parents to lure her out, just the same way he was using Jade to lure Kayden. I stood before my sister's house and I sighed. I didn't know how they got to know about the kidnapping, but here I was trying to stand before them as a shoulder, I had to come here first before going back to the mansion to see that kid, Kayden. He is going insane and his father has to lock him into the room so that he won't leave to go to the location of the kidnappers without a proper plan. He would just get himself killed.I entered the house and just a

Kayden's POV.I was tired of staying indoors as it has been days already, but what can we do? Even Uncle Henry, who never finds it difficult to find a culprit, according to Jade, was finding this difficult. Nothing was leading us to him and all the people Dad was remembering were so out of the line, that they had nothing to do with the attacks after George, Dad's private investigator, and Uncle Henry investigated them. They were as clean as anything and I had a feeling that we would not be seeing the culprit soon.After the call Jade. I called Brandon, "Hey man.""My guy, what's up?" His voice was facetious, he was not expecting my call at least not that in the morning, but I was dying of boredom, I needed someone to keep me company before Jade arrived, and then I would chase all of them away to be with only Jade."I'm bored," I told him, "Are you up for some games?""Sure, will be up in a minute or two. You're calling me from my dream." He joked."Lazy ass. Don't keep me waiting, you
