“The dress is nice” he whispered, stepping up behind me and grabbing my hair to move it over my shoulder to get full access to the back of the dress. “Please don’t tell anyone” I whispered and I watched him take a deep breath behind me as he pulled the zipper up his fingers lightly touching my skin as he went, sending a shiver up my spine. “I won’t I promise” he stated in full seriousness as he pulled my hair off my shoulder and smiled at the reflection in front of us. “You truly look beautiful though, scars and all” he whispered and I took a deep breath, a weird fluttering in my chest at his words. “Thank you” I whispered and he smiled as I looked at the dress falling over my body, it was a deep maroon shade the breasts were lightly exposed with a criss cross pattern over it the lining falling into a v-shape but not too low. The dress was long hitting the ground around me but there was a long slit on the right leg leading up close to my hip, it was exposing but not in a bad way
Hours passed, practicing places for seating and looking at the venue before going home and discussing the seating arrangement and the guest list for the fiftieth time making every part of me scream for an escape. By the time dinner came my mother was late doing something up stairs as the rest of us waited sitting at the table in an awkward silence until Mr. Pierce cleared his throat and turned his attention towards me. “Did you find a good dress for tomorrow?” he asked, trying to make small talk. “I did, thank you, the people there were very nice as well” I stated with a smile and his eyes widened. “Really? Your mother said it was the worst service she ever got” he said with an airy laugh and I nodded. “Mom’s not known for her patience, but for her meticulous nature” I said and he nodded along with my words. “And you boys, the tux’s fit well” he asked and all of the guys nodded in reply leaving us in silence as heels clicked from down the hall making there way to the dinning room
Checking the time I let out a large groan, knowing that within the next few hours I had to be walking my mother down the aisle, again. Pulling myself out of bed I throw my hair up real quick, a messing bun now on top of my head a few strands dangling here and there before putting on a bra and a large shirt as I walk to my door and head to the room next to mine on the left side of the hallway. Yawning I knock on the door “Jace” I call out expecting him to already be awake but after waiting a moment I get no response so I knock again this time a loud bang follows from inside the room and I hear a groan in pain causing me to let out a sigh. Slowly opening the door I see him partially wrapped in blankets on the ground, twisted round the lower half of his body and he lays there, his face planted onto the ground and his hair falling all over the place. Crossing my arms I step close “you alive” I ask and he grunts his body slightly moving before he stops again and the room goes silent.
"Hi, you're Amara right" a woman said almost frantically as she came up to me; her breathing was heavy as she leaned down on her knees, her pencil skirt crumbled up in her fingers as she caught her breath. "Yes" I said with a soft smile "why is everything okay" I asked, showing a bit of worry in my tone as I stared at the woman who looks like she's on the verge of balling her eyes out. "I'm Mrs. Yoon, your mothers assistant and she said she needed you," she said almost nervously as she twisted her fingers together, straightening her posture up as much as she could. "Alright I'll go as long as you show me where" I said gently while grabbing her arm, the poor young woman looked at me in thankfulness and fear as I help her stand up fully looking over her tired state "it's alright Mrs. Yoon," I said reassuringly while sending her a soft smile causing her to sigh in a small bit of relief. Slowly she walked me to a separate room before knocking on the door softly "what" my mothers harsh
"You look pretty boss," Jack said, smirking over at me arrogantly, causing me to roll my eyes in annoyance. "Yes and you look dapper now, let's skip the chit chat and get to work," I said and he let out a small sigh, his smirk falling until he looked Axel up and down causing Axel to blush at the boy and a laugh to escape my lips causing Axel to turn and look at me with a slight glare. Looking over at Jack I cleared my throat in an attempt to gain his attention, "you located the main target correct," I asked, and he nodded his head tearing his eyes off of Axel and bringing them back over to me before explaining. "Darren already slipped him the stuff when he gave him his drink at the bar," he said, causing me to smirk knowing that the plan was already set in motion. "Good and the other targets," I stated in a questioning tone as I raised an eyebrow at the boy looking at him expectantly but his eyes kept glancing over at Axel who decided to lean against the wall and check Jack out.
“Are you hungry?” Link asked out of nowhere, breaking the silence and I sucked in a breath. “Really, that was what you came up with” Jace asked looking over at him with his eyebrows furrowed together, and during this I decided to look each of them over, water was still dropping off of their hair showing the showers they had all taken and they stood there in sweats or pajama pants and t-shirts clearly dressed for bed their disheveled looks were completely opposite from the men I had seen in tux’s earlier today. Link had on a pair of dark blue pajama pants with a white t-shirt that hugged his body, his brown silver-like hair shining in the hallway light as his deep brown eyes held a challenge in them as he stared over at Jace. Jace’s caramel-like eyes held almost a look of disgust while he stared over at Link, he wore a simple pair of dark green checkered pajama pants and a plain black hoodie and his dark brown almost black hair was on his head like a mop as it normally was. Julain
“Not fair” someone whined causing me to try and shift in my position but I was stuck. Letting out a grunt I attempt to move again my legs and torso feeling trapped causing me to try and move my body upward. “How come I got stuck with you” the voice stated again and I heard a scoff. “Yes because my idea of having a good night's sleep is using you as a pillow” the other said sarcastically and that's when I realized what was happening, I was still in the movie room with the boys except now people were awake. “Do you guys ever stop arguing” I heard Julian ask my head moving a bit from resting on his chest and I heard a grunt from on top of me. “Can you all go away and shut up, I’m trying to sleep and she is asleep” Ru stated his voice very gruff from just waking up. “Fuck off Ru” Jace growled out. “I actually agree with Jace for once, why don’t you leave Ru” Link stated and I felt the scoff leave Ru’s lips as his body slightly shifted on mine. “I wouldn’t dream of it” he muttered
“Amara” I heard him whisper as the door closed and my eyebrows furrowed at the sound, I locked the door I thought to myself before opening my eyes to find Jace staring down at me. “No” I whispered, rolling over onto my other side facing away from him and I heard him sigh as he lay down behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist and pulling my back into him. “It’s okay” he whispered softly as I stared at my headboard, our bodies sideways on the bed. “Why are you in here, how did you get in here” I whispered the questions out, my voice hoarse from crying and sleeping and he sush’s me his breath fanning against the back of my neck as he moves one hand to push my hair out of the way. “I picked it, don’t be mad, and I’m here because you’ve been in here for two days not talking to anyone” he whispered and I let out a sigh before moving to lay on my back the large shirt I threw on this morning pulling around me making me feel a bit trapped. “We’ve been worried” he mumbled and I looked
*Five Months Later*I was sitting on the side of his bed again, leaning against it my head pressed onto the side of the mattress my hand holding onto his."Amara, my love you need sleep" Julian said coming up behind me and I shook my head my face rubbing against the blankets."You haven't slept" he stated and I sighed pulling my head up looking over at Jace's face."I can't sleep" I whispered shaking my head a bit and his hand came up onto my shoulder squeezing it a little."It's been five months Amara" he said and I shook his hand off my shoulder standing up."You think I don't know that" I asked a little louder than I should have and I sigh looking down towards my feet "I know how long it's been" I whispered."Amara please come to bed" he said and I let out a small laugh."Isn't that supposed to be the other way around" I asked looking up at him and he looked at me with a soft smile."I care about the love of my life, sue me" he said in a teasing tone."Jace might be in a coma but h
I stared out the outside of the house I grew up in my fingers tapping on my steering wheel "this place looks petrifying" Jace said from the backseat.I saw the others nod, after years the house had started to decay almost.Wood looked a bit more like it was starting to fall in on itself, paint chipped off of the exterior, vines growing up and around the sides."Now or never right" I said turning the car off and climbing out the boys quickly following "it has secret passages, I used to go through them when I was little" I said walking to the side of the house covered by more bushes and knocking at one of the plank sections it falling off.I reach under and hit a latch the area opening "no one knows about them" I started looking back at the boys "something goes bad go through here, get out" I said sternly and they nodded."Let's go" I stated crouching down a little beginning to climb into the passage way the boys following hunched over behind me.When we make it through I push at the do
I slowly walked into the room and placed my hand on Julian's shoulder "please come to bed" I whispered as he sat in the chair staring at a sleeping Jace."Amara I'll sleep later" he stated and I sighed."You need sleep now" I muttered softly and he let his head fall forward a bit."Jace needs a little bit of time to himself, plus you've been awake for the last four days you need rest it's unhealthy" I started leaning down and hugging him from behind on his shoulders."Please come to bed" I whispered again my voice coming out a bit more pleading this time and his hand moving up gently holding my arm."Alright" he whispered and I smiled a little "what time is it" he asked and I placed my head on his shoulder."Almost two in the morning" I whispered back.He let out a quiet hum in response before turning his head to look at me and I lifted my head off of his shoulder to look back at him.A small smile falls across his face and I press a small kiss to his cheek before letting go of him an
Over the course of the last few days Jace has been learning his best how to walk again, the numb feeling he said was the worst. The way when he took a step it would flicker from feeling nothing at all to feeling intense pain causing him to let out a small scream from the pressure. During this time period Julian has become ten times more protective over him, basically staying awake all night and day at his bed side so that no matter what Jace needs he'd get it. We sat through many levels of fustration as well. The screams of anger from him not being able to move correctly or him trying to hide the tears in his eyes from too much pain. And gods was he stubborn, never wanting to take a break, forcfully trying to push past every bit of pain to get back to how he should be, good enough to go into the fight. Everyone in the house was worried at his mental state as the days had gone by, the way he'd look basically past you so you couldn't stop him. He had been irritable too and that's
"Why are you two sleeping on the couch" I heard from above me and I shift a little my body rolling off of the side and I let out a small groan before looking up. "Amara I don't even understand how you managed to do that" I heard the voice state and my eyes finally become a little less blurry as I see Jake staring down at me clearly confused. "Isn't something like what she just did basically impossible" Julian stated from next to him raising an eyebrow as he looked down at me and I glared up at him causing him to let out a chuckle. "Sorry my love" he stated while squatting down next to me and holding his hand out looking at me almost expectantly. I scrunch my nose up and look away from him causing him to let out a small grunt before tickling my side causing my body to move on instinct a laugh ripping from my throat as I attempt to move his hands away from me. "Accept my appology" he sttated while tickling me and I laughed while nodding. "Okay" I yelled out and slowly he stopped t
A bang came from the room next door causing my head to shoot over "help me up" I stated and Ru stands up picking me up in his arms and pulling me closer to him. Julain stands walking in front of us bringing us to the other room the others following behind us as we walk inside and Ru places me next to Jace on the bed. "Amara" he whispered and I shushed him running my hand through his hair as best I could "what happened" he asked clearly a bit confused. "You passed out" Julian stated and Jace looks at him confused before coughing a bit, a small bit of blood hitting his hand and he looks down confused. "Everything hurts" he whispered while Ru walked over bringing him a rag for the blood and Jace thanked him rather quickly, whiping the blood off of his hand. "Jace do you remeber ingesting something you wouldn't normally have" I ask and the room goes quiet as he thinks about earlier today and he nods. "Yeah before you got to the school actually" he said looking over at me and I nod e
My head was killing me, it felt like it was trying to bang out of my skull and my body was sore "she's moving" I heard a voice but it sounded like it was drowned out. I wince in pain as I shift a bit my mind feeling fuzzy when it came to my surroundings, and then a burning came back in my lungs and a sound ripped from my throat in pain "Amara" I yelll surrounded me but I was gone again. "Jake how did you get here" I whispered, my body cold as I curled in on myself a bit in the dark room staring towards the boy confused. "I got in trouble again" he whispered back and I reached my hnd out for my bestfriend, he reached back his hand folding into mine as he shuffles closer. "Is it always this cold in here" he asked just above a whisper and I let out a long breath as he cuddled closer to my side. "Yeah" I muttered my breath going out in a puff of smoke due to the low temperature "at least they let you keep all of your clothes" I whispered forcing out an airy laugh. "How often does he
When we made it back downstairs I looked around confused "wheres Ru" I ask and Alexander looked up. "He headed back to the main base, said he hand to get something from the car" he stated and I looked at Alexander confused for a moment while the others nodded agreeeing with his statement. "Everything okay with you two now" Alexander asked looking back and forth between the two of us in curiosity. "All good Alex" I said letting out a small laugh and Jake wrapps his arm around my shoulders shaking me a bit. "As always" he stated and I laughed rather loudly at his sudden playful behaviour. The front door opens and Ru comes in holding two bag in his hands and looks at Jake's arm over my shoulders with an eyebrow raised clearly a bit confused. "I bought new stuff for the kitchen" Ru stated breaking the suddenly silence and Noona bursted out of her seat walking over to him as he placed the bags on the kitchen counter. She reaches into one of the bag while staring at him, she looked
"Finally" Jace grummbled when I stepped out of my car and I sent him a strong glare. "Don't comp an attitude with me Jace" I stated crossing my arms over my chest while looking him up and down and he rolls his eyes. "It's been like thirty minutes" he stated and I scoffed. "It's a while drive, you big baby, now get in the damn car" I stated opening the back door and he looked at me almost offended. "The back seriously" he asked and I nodded. "You want to act like a child you can sit in the back like one" I said and he sighed before walking up to me, he looks down at me his hazel eyes colliding with mine full of intensity. "I want you" he stated in a low tone leaning down towards me his face moving to the side of mine and hovering towards my ear and I let out a low chuckle when he nuzzles his face into my neck silently his arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me off of the car and into him. "You have me" I muttered back my hand moving to the back of his head tangling my hand
