I sighed and was massively emotionally exhausted by the time lunch came around. I walked out of my class, stuffed my books into my locker and headed straight to the cafeteria to eat my frustration away. When I walked in, Payton and Maddie were already sitting at our usual table with their lunch plates. I quickly grabbed my lunch plate and sat down on the table, ignoring the stares of the other students.
Payton threw a threatening glare and shouted at a group of students staring at us, “What are you looking at!? Keep those big eyes down or I will get up and push it down with my fist.”
Their eyes widened with fear, and they quickly looked down at their lunch plate.
“How are you holding up?” Maddie asked sympathetically.
I covered my face

Joe Bandit P.O.VAs soon as I found out about the rumors that were spreading, I was not mad about it. In fact, I was totally okay with it. That feeling changed when I realized how it might affect Chasity in a bad way. I was not blind to the attention I received from the girls at school, and I know how catty girls can be. So, I was absolutely sure that they would cause trouble for Chasity because of the jealousy they will feel.When Chasity and I left the school, I did everything I could to try and put the smile back on Chasity’s face. We picked up some fast food to eat for lunch and decided where to go next. We ended up deciding to head on over to Chasity’s house, since her mom was not going to be at home all day, and we did not want to get caught for truancy.“Thank you,” said Chasity, as we headed to her house.“For wh

Joe Bandit P.O.VI gave the picture back to her, my hand burning from the picture, as if it is trying to get me to tell her the truth.“I am sure, he would be proud of who are you today,” I said to her, not being able to help myself.She gave me a soft smile and nodded, “I would like to hope so.”I then looked around, trying to think of another topic we could change it to, and noticed that in the collection of DVDs that were stacked in their entertainment; there were a lot of Adam Sandler movies in them. I stood up from the couch and walked to the stack, grabbing out a movie that was one of my favorites.“50 First Dates,” I read out loud, as I chuckled and thought about how much my family and I laughed when we watched this movie.

Joe Bandit P.O.VI looked at my father feeling uneasy and replied, “What do you mean when you say that there are some secrets that people will kill to keep a secret? Do you mean that he will go as far as to kill me because I know?”Fear started to fill me, but I pushed it down. I was not a coward and I refuse to let Chasity’s father make me into one.My father shook his head, and paced back and forth, “This man is evil son.” Then as if he was having a flashback of a bad memory, in a hateful tone he added, “He will do whatever he needs to, in order to bend others to his will.”I just watched my father, as he walked back and forth in the study. Running his hands through his hair, as if he was thinking of a solution to a problem.Knock!Knoc

Chasity Dawson P.O.V“What are you doing all alone?” asked my mother as she spotted me in the theater.I turned around to face her and stood up. Grabbing my backpack and putting the straps over my shoulder.“The boys went out for a run. Joe invited me, but I didn’t want to go with them,” I said with a shrug of my shoulders. “Are you done with work?” I asked her, as I turned off the projector playing the movie on the screen. She had her coat on and purse in her hand, like she always did when she was ready to leave.She nodded, and in a happy tone replied, “They let me go home early today.” She extended her hand toward me to take. I walked to her grabbing her hand and then linked my arms around hers, as we got out of the house. When we got into the car, I sent a quick text to Joe letting him know that I was leaving.CHASITY: My mom finished work early, so we are about to head home.JOE: I can take you home.I smiled at how sweet this moment felt. This made me feel like he wanted me to st

Chasity Dawson P.O.VI had so much fun with Joe tonight. We talked about almost everything at dinner and then ended up watching the new action movie that came out. It was really good and I had such a great time. I was super bummed that I had a curfew and I wish that we could have spent more time together. When we finally arrived at my house at the end of the night, a small part of me started to get sleepy.“Wait there,” said Joe, when we finally arrived at my house.“Okay,” I replied, nodding and unbuckling my seatbelt. I watched him get out from his seat to come to my side.He opened my door and lifted me up off my seat and onto the ground. When my feet touched the ground, he did not let me go, keeping his hands still on my waist.“Thank you,” I softly replied, not being able to remove my

Chasity Dawson P.O.VI was right.The days that followed soon after that week were pure hell. The horrible cliché drama of dating the popular guy in high school, was now being sent my way every single day. I wanted to break down and cry my eyes out at one point, but didn’t want to give the girls the satisfaction of seeing me in tears. On a really bad day, I cried my eyes out when I got home. Joe, my mother, Payton and Maddie did everything they could think of to cheer me up; even Joe’s friends, John and Gio joined in, which warmed my heart.There were girls at the school that were savage. One morning, someone put slime in my locker that blasted all over my clothes. The next day, someone took my clean clothes from my gym locker while I was in the shower at P.E. Luckily, I had Payton in the same class, and she gave me

Joe Bandit P.O.VI quickly pushed Jamie off of me, as if the touch of her burned my skin. Then my eyes quickly searched for Chasity’s face. I wasn’t a blind to the fact that her expression currently looked murderous. I am hoping that it is directed at Jamie, instead of me.The innocent victim kissed by another girl. Jamie looked startled by my reaction and pouted with disapproval.She and I have known each other since we were kids. Our parents went to the same college and every year my family and I would go on vacation with hers for spring break. I always had a great time with them, up until Jamie would try to start hitting on me.She just never understood the word no.Chasity has never met Jamie yet, due to the fact that Jamie went to an all-girls school in Europe and her family

Joe Bandit P.O.VAfter pushing away all insecurity and doubt from Chasity’s mind, I left her to go back to her friends, while I went to handle a situation, I sure hope will not make things worse.I already have enough trouble on my plate.I took a deep breath before heading to my mother’s room, where I know Jamie and she would be. Once reaching my mother’s bedroom door, I took a deep breath before going in. Opening the door without knocking, I see my mother embracing Jamie in a tight hug, saying soothing words to calm her down. Noticing my arrival, they pulled apart. My mother gave Jamie one last hug, and whispered something in her ear that only she could hear. Jamie nodded as my mother pulled away.Jamie looked down at the ground as I stepped closer towards the two of them.“Put her down gently,&rdquo

Speak To Me Epilogue
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
Speak To Me Chapter 70
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,
Speak To Me Chapter 69
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
Speak To Me Chapter 67
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
