Joe Bandit P.O.V
“What are you kids up to?” said John, as they saw Chasity and I together alone in my room.
Damn, I really thought the movie would have kept them occupied, I thought to myself.
Chasity and I jumped away from each other.
“Is this what Americans’ do when they have friends over? Sneak a girl up to their room?” Gio rhetorically asked, turning towards John.
John shook his head and touched his heart dramatically as if appalled “No, we do not.”
I cleared my throat, while she looked down, using her hair like a curtain to cover her face. I walked away from her and towards my two, currently bothersome friends and pointed my index finger towards the opposite direction they were facing. Signaling for
Joe Bandit P.O.V“What is that you have in your hand son?” asked my father, even though he could clearly see it was an envelope with photos.“Dad,” I replied in a panicked tone.I quickly stuffed the photos back into the envelope. My father walked quickly towards me and snatched it out of my hands. He opened it and his eyes went wide when he saw the pictures. He ripped the whole envelope filled with the creepy photos and threw them against the wall. He looked at the photos as they fall to the ground with an angry expression. He then fiercely turns to me and stepped forward my way.“Where did you get this son!?” he pointed to the ripped photos on the ground “Where did you get the envelopes with the photos in it!?” asked my father, as he put both his hands on my shoul
Chasity Dawson P.O.VAfter getting home and cooking dinner, I was finally ready to take a shower and get some sleep. I felt so nice and squeaky clean after my bath. After getting out of the shower, I headed towards my room. I slipped on my fuzzy plus colorful socks and smiled because of how soft it felt. I then laid down on my bed and put my head on my pillow. With a smile on my face, ready for the next day.Ring!Ring!Ring!I groaned in irritation when I heard the sound of my phone ringing. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 o’clock.“Whoever is calling me, better have a damn good reason for calling this
Chasity Dawson P.O.V(Fifteen Minutes Later) “Why did we go out to get milkshakes?” I asked, as we left the McDonald’s drive thru.I took a small sip of my chocolate milkshake while Joe’s was still in the brown paper cup holder. He did not want to drink it while driving, even though it was not alcohol. We were on our way to the beach, and I am still sort of processing the fact that I snuck out at 10P.M while my mother was sleeping, to go out and get milkshakes with Joe and talk about whatever serious info he has yet to tell me.“When I was younger, my dad would take me out to get milkshakes whenever I was sad or mad. He would park his truck at the beach and then pull the truck’
Chasity Dawson P.O.VI slowly shook my head from side to side again. “Speak up Chasity,” Joe said in a lustful tone, giving away what his eyes were saying. “No,” I softly mumbled in response. I then shook my head again and repeated myself “No.” “No what?” Joe asked me, wanting me to speak to him clearly. “No, I do not think you are lying Joe,” I said, while my eyes were stuck in a trance
Joe Bandit P.O.VKiss her, said a tiny voice in my head.I felt like I was in a battle with myself. I knew that it was obviously too soon and we were not in a relationship or anything near being in one. Then again, another part of me wanted to feel her lips against mine. I do not understand why I am acting like this with her now, when before I would have not given her another thought. The only thing I was ever curious about what if she spoke and what her voice sounded like.Now, I am curious as to what her lips taste like, I thought to myself.She looked at me with those doe eyes, like she knew that she was drawing me close. As if I was stuck in her spellbinding gaze. The guys would freak if they found out what I did tonight and what I may or may not do right now. We were nearly skin against skin and all I had to do was lean practic
Joe Bandit P.O.VThe next day at school, I could hardly focus. I could not even if I tried. Now here I am in my History class, ignoring everything that Mrs. Cooper is saying, and instead, in my mind, I can’t help but keep replaying everything from last night. From sneaking out to see Chasity, to then later on having that crazy conversation with my dad. After seeing my dad’s reaction; I was conflicted.On one hand, I was sort of glad that I did not tell Chasity about her father, but on the other hand, another part of me felt awful. I had so much questions that needed to be answered. When my father nodded his head, it opened a box I had, with full of questions. I now feel like I am more clueless then I ever was before.I groaned and wiped my face, frustrated with this whole situation. Somehow, I feel like I am about to find out something worse, than I thou
Joe Bandit P.O.VMy eyes narrowed as I watched him walk towards Chasity. I caught myself taking a step forward, but stopped. Realistically, I had no attachment to Chasity other than the help I am receiving from her. We are not friends, like how I am with Gio and John. We are not related either. So, what good excuse would I have to go over there and punch Hunter’s face in.Woah, where did that violent thought come from? I thought to myself.I shook my head, and shut my locker tight, with so much force. It shook and made a sound that was louder than I realized. Students that were talking, stopped and looked at me when they heard the sound. Even Chasity, her friends, hunter and his friends. I felt a bit embarrassed at the overdramatic and unreasonable anger I had let slip, that I started to pretend that there was something wrong with my locker.
Chasity Dawson P.O.VI wanted to smack my forehead.“Just because you what?” asked Joe.I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression and replied “What?”“What were you going to say Dawson?” Joe asked as he stepped closer.I wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Sometimes, my mouth just moves faster than my brain. I looked a Payton and Maddie for help. The had mischievous smiles on their faces as they looked at each other. Sending a message with their eyes, that I could easily read. A message that said Let’s leave her here with Joe alone.“Come on Maddie, I do not want to be late to class,” Payton said in a nonchalant tone, as she pulled Maddie with her down the hall.I knew what she was trying to do, so I

Joe Bandit P.O.VI felt like someone punched me in the gut and I couldn’t breathe. When Gio told me, what happened to John I almost joined him in destroying the house. That didn’t happen, only because Chasity heard Gio throwing things and came running downstairs. When I told her that John died, she threw her arms around me and hugged me tight as she cried her eyes out. My eyes flooded with tears, and I tried to keep it at bay but it was useless.If John saw me crying right now, he’d tell me, “Only girls cry Joe.” Then I’d push him and say “You’ve cried before too! So that makes you a girl!” We’d laugh and head to the theater room to watch a movie. It pained me to know that we would never get to do that again.When the exchange for my mother had been made after my dad signed the documents that would give James complete control of my father’s company, shots were fired. Andr
Joe Bandit P.O.V“You want to know what’s so funny?” I laughed out loud at the sudden thought.Gio and Chasity looked at me. “What?” they asked in unison.I shook my head, “Earlier I could have sworn I saw Payton, as we were coming down the elevator.”Gio’s fork dropped from his hand and onto his plate in shock. “You saw Payton? Here?” He rushed out, looking around in alert.The smile that was on my face fell.“Well, I think I saw her.” I said starting to feel uneasy. “I could be wrong. Why? Is that not a good thing?”Gio stood up and shook his head.“The call that I just had, was from one of our men. He said that he found videos of Payton meeting James Cotton last week and was at your house today while you and your parents were out. She was there when your mother was abducted. Your mother didn’t se
Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at Chasity’s eyes and couldn’t believe how lucky I got to have this girl in my life. Our situation is weird, considering the fact that her dad tried to kill my parents, but I’m still grateful that one of the results is something that led Chasity into my life.Not wanting to say this, but needing to come clean I tell her my secret, “Chasity, I knew that your dad was alive.”Her eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me?”She didn’t pull away from me, so this was a good sign.“My father advised against it. We argued so many times, because I wanted to tell you and he didn’t feel like it was the time to do it.”She looked down, “I heard you guys arguing one time in the office. The door wasn’t fully shut. You were screaming at each other and one of the things you said is something along the lines of, a girl having the right t
Joe Bandit P.O.VThe whole car ride to the safe house, was spent in total silence. No one spoke and no one needed to. I didn’t know that my dad had a safe house. Did my mom know about it? If she did, why didn’t she tell me? It was now an hour and we still weren’t there. We were heading to the mountains and the deeper we went I saw less and less proof of civilization.An hour later, Gio finally spoke up, “We’re here.”I watched as he pulled into a lane that led to a small shack.“You’ve got to be kidding me Gio,” I couldn’t help but say. “I don’t mean to sound spoiled but my father is a rich man. I assumed that he would have bought a bigger safe house.”Gio got out of the car and smirked at me. “Your father is a very rich man indeed.”I raised my brow at the way he spoke. As if he knew something I didn’t.Gio went to Annie to help her walk,
Joe Bandit P.O.VI watched as the man my father brutally beaten groaned from the immense pain he was feeling. His face all bloodied up and bruised, he looked almost unrecognizable. Then again, I’m sure any man would if they were beaten the way Andrew was.“So, what now dad?” I asked, as I watched him pace back and forth.He looked at John instead of me, “I want all the men to be at Owls Tower at eleven. We are meeting James at midnight. He wants me to sign over the rights to my company.”“Yes sir,” nodded John.This is so weird seeing my best friend acting this way. As Andrew was getting a beating from my father, John confessed that my dad hired him as my body guard. John’s family are a part of a secret organization that protects very wealthy men. It doesn’t matter if the person is good or bad. If the money pays well, then the bodyguard the client receives will be even better.
James Cotton P.O.VI smile as everything that I’ve waited for fall into plan. I accept the call, and watch Belle as I pick up the phone. I put it to my ear waiting for the onslaught of threats I know I will receive. If ben is calling me then obviously that idiot Andrew Dawson failed. No matter, I always have a backup plan anyways.“Hi Ben!” I greeted with chipper.“WHERE IS MY WIFE!?” shouted ben from the other side of the line.I cringed and pulled the phone away from my ear.“GIVE ME BACK MY WIFE!!!” he continued to shout.“BEN!!!” Screamed Belle.“BELLE!” shouted Ben, when he heard her voice.I put the phone back to my ear, holding it a bit away because I know he wasn’t done yelling.“You know how this is going to go ben,” I drawled. “We’ve watched enough movies to know what happens here.”&ldq
Belle Bandit P.O.VI groaned in pain as I start to wake up from my sleep. My head is pounding from a serious migraine and my ears are ringing. I’m sitting on a chair with my feet tied with ropes and my arm tied behind my back to a chair. I feel like I got hit my Muhammad Ali in a fight and lost.Feeling Clueless as I scanned the room that I was in, “Where am I?”I was in an empty room with nothing else, but the silence to fill me. My mind tried to recall what I was doing last. Ben had already left for work, and Joe had left to pick up Chasity for school. I was the last to leave and as I was heading to my car, I turned around when I saw a reflection of a man approaching me from behind. They knocked me at the back of the head before I got the chance to turn around. Next thing I know, I wake up here.“Someone please help me!” I shouted as loud as I could, knowing that there’s a chance no one might come.
Joe Bandit P.O.VAndrews eyes widened and he smiled widely. “Ben!” he shouted in fake delight and arms open wide in gesture. His smile then dropped, “What a pleasant surprise,” he sneered.“You should have never came back,” growled my father. “Joe, get my son and Annie out of here.”“Ben,” Mrs. Dawson got ready to argue. She shook her head, not wanting to leave.I looked at my father, not wanting to leave either. Is he stupid!? If he let his guard down, Andrew will kill him.My father looked at me, knowing I was ready to argue. “Go you guys. Now.”John held the gun to Andrew, and backed away slowly. Making sure Mrs. Dawson and I were at the door before him.Hoping John will listen, I look at him with a serious look, “Stay with dad.”He nodded his head, accepting my order. I then turned to Mrs. Daw
