“I’ll be back soon” I mimicked myself while pulling up to the school “well I fucking lie all the time anyway, whats one more” I shrugged a little annoyed, knowing that the guys would find the need to question me but all I wanted to do was lock myself away. Groaning at the thought I pulled into the parking space where I needed to be and turned off the car, the parking area was left in complete silence after that, barely even a buzzing sound from a light was heard. Checking the time I saw it was already around ten thirty, which meant they were all still probably awake waiting to question me about my disappearance and what it is I do for work. Avoiding could cause issues, but all I want right now is peace and quiet and a damn shower, reluctantly I get out of my car locking it behind me and begin my trek up to our dorm room. Dread filled my body after I made it up to the dorm and I stood outside looking at the door, I could just rush to my bedroom right? “I don’t know when she’s comi
“Amara get up” I heard a gruff voice causing me to groan and attempt to turn “Amara now” the voice bellowed and my body jumped in fear and I fell down onto the ground, the concrete roughly scraping against my body. I let out a groan, my hands moving to push me up and I felt the ache in my bones before looking around. I was in the room again, the plain white concrete walls surrounding me as I squint from the brightness. “I see you enjoy the upgrade” the man chuckled and I turned back, his tall stature was looming over my small frame, I felt tired, every part of me was filled with dread as I looked at him. “Well my dear niece, your father wished me to send you a happy birthday” he said with a smirk etching itself into his face. The look was almost inhuman and I pushed myself up off of the floor, my baggy, shredded clothing falling over my tatterned body. “Happy twelfth birthday honey” he said in a sickly sweet tone, the man in front of me was one I used to trust but over time everyt
“Schools in an hour and a half, everyone get up” I heard Jace yell out and then a bang in the kitchen “shit” I heard a grumble from out there and I winced as my alarm started to ring causing me to reach over and press the off button. “I don't want to” Ru grumbled and I laughed as he looked up at me with annoyance in his eyes. “Well, we have to and I need to get up, I’m hungry” I said with a small pout but he shook his head, his arms pulling me further into him in a tight grip and I fought back a smile that wanted to escape my lips. Moving my hand down I move it through his hair and I feel his body completely relax into mine. I never thought he’d ever want to be this close to me. Part of me wanted to rip it apart and destroy whatever trust he suddenly had in me but another part wanted to hold onto it while I could have it. Some day soon it would be gone and I would be on my own again, no feelings like this because they’ll be dead and I’ll be free and in complete and total control o
By the time lunch came around my mood had begun to drain but I still had some excitement for my literature class I would have after lunch. "Ready to go" Sofia asked and I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, but I'll meet you; I'm gonna use the restroom first" I said before walking off down the hall, stopping, I dropped my bag down onto the floor before walking to the sink and splashing some water on my face. Checking through and outside of the bathroom I find it secluded before I pick up my phone calling Jake "hey boss" I heard him say from the other side of the phone. "Have you found Alexander, and did you get what I sent you last night?” I asked not even fully greeting him and I heard a small laugh from the other end. "Wow straight to the point gotcha" he joked before I heard typing from the other end "I'll send you everything I have right now and Alexander is still MIA" he said and I let out a growl. "I'll call you in a few days when I get him" he stated confidently and I l took in a
"Hey" I said and Ella looked at me in surprise. "Who knew you'd be a cheerleader too" she said kinda excited before nudging Naomi who was looking off to the side next to her. "I don't wanna be here" Naomi stated and I laughed at how blunt and annoyed she looked. "I get that feeling" I stated and she brightened up a bit. "Thank god, you got forced into this too" she said and I nodded and Sofia gasped. "That makes a bit more sense" she said and then I let out a gasp this time in mock pain while I put my hand over my chest. "How mean" I said in a small voice causing them to laugh as they watched me before the coach walked in. "Girls, today you're getting your uniforms" she yelled out and I looked around a bit confused. "No tryouts" I ask and Naomi laughs. "Have you cheered before?" she asked and I let out a sigh. "A few years ago, please don't tell anyone" I said in a hushed tone, it was something my mother had forced on me and I hope none of those dreaded ass memories come bac
I was laying in my bed when Link stormed into my room causing me to sit up and stare at him in utter confusion. I hadn’t talked to any of them in the last few hours and for what I knew most of them had left talking about getting dinner and setting up a movie tonight. Honestly I didn’t know anyone had stayed home, but here he was staring at me now “I thought about what you said” he stated and my eyebrows furrowed, what exactly was this dude going on about right now. “And you know what I’d like to say I know you quite a bit just without you realizing” his voice came out defensive and I just nodded slowly. “Alright” I whispered and he threw his arms up. “That’s all I get” he exclaimed and I laughed, genuinely at the annoyance on his face “you know we never spend time together anymore” he said and I went silent. “You have a point” I said, nodding a bit and he hummed, nodding a bit and starting to pace back and forth in front of my bed once again “Link calm down” I said softly while w
About half-way through the movie he cleared his throat before trailing his fingers up my arm before he was soft to question me “Amara are you going to hate me if I keep talking bad about Blondie” he asked and I looked up at him from my lying position on his chest slightly annoyed. “Out of all things you want to talk about Sofia right now” I asked annoyed and he let out a sigh before diverting his eyes from mine “really Link” I sighed sitting up while shaking my head a bit “I thought the arguments earlier were enough” I complained. “Sorry, it's just I don’t like her” he said and I waited before he leaned his head on my back “I don’t like that she gets to touch you when I can’t” he whispered and I felt my tense body relax a bit, he sounded so defeated as he spoke. “You're on me right now” I stated but I felt him shake his head. “You know that’s not what I meant Amara” he stated and I stayed silent waiting for him to continue and I feel his hands travel up and down my side his head m
"Perfect" I whispered while pulling down the paint brush and smiling softly looking at how the brush strokes fanned across the canvas together. "Amara" I heard a gasp from behind me and when I looked back I saw Sofia. Her eyes were wide and her lips were parted as she stared at my painting from over my shoulder. "What's wrong?" I asked and she shook her head before a large smile took over her face. "It's absolutely beautiful" she whispered, looking over at me and making eye contact "you're very talented Amara" she said and the praise made me sit up a bit higher with a large genuine smile. "Thank you Sofia" I whispered before looking down and she quickly grabbed me from behind. "Do you think we could do some sessions together, just us?" she asked in a whisper next to my ear in an almost seductive tone causing my body to want to revolt away from her touch. "Yeah of course, I don't really know when though" I said with a laugh pretending to be oblivious but the strongest part of me
*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
