Amara’s POV: As he spoke my blood ran cold, I was right, William was working with my uncle which means William knew who I was. The boys were all going to meet him and soon which meant they’d find out too which means everything I’ve done every lie every ounce of emotion I showed would be called out, they're going to kill me. They’re going to think I’m horrible and they’re going to want nothing to do with me because I betrayed them, I’m going to loose everyone in one shot because of my fucking uncle. He always screws everything up and this time it might be even worse than the last. William sent Ru to meet Casey which meant he knew Ru would piece it together, he always did, after seeing my uncle William knows Ru would be suspicious about me because he’s have pieced something together which means he wants Ru to keep tabs on me. To send him back information, he knows it's me, and he found my weakness. He has him standing next to him practically on a pedestal, likely knowing he’s the o
Julian walks in his footsteps thumping against the wooden floor due to his boots, and he closes it behind him before his eyes trail over me up and down and his eyebrows furrow. I let out a shaky breath as he looked at me confused and I could feel my mouth go dry “Amara” he whispered, stepping closer with confusion written on his face as his eyes went over one of the knives strapped to my thigh. “What the fuck is going on” he asked his voice coming out a bit louder and I bite my bottom lip at the slight fustration in his voice. “Julian I’m so sorry” I whispered, stepping a bit closer but he doesn’t move at all he just looks into my eyes not understanding what was happening. “I wanted to tell you so bad,” I muttered, shaking my head a bit “I don’t think anything really hurts like it has, not being able to tell you who I am and I need you to hear it from me” I said, my voice coming out almost desperate. He takes a small step back while shaking his head from side to side “I’m not who
He walks around me before sitting down on the bed behind me, his hand wraps itself in my hair as he pulls me up causing me to gasp as pain shoots through my skull. He tips my head back so I’m looking at him and he smirks “you're going to strip for me” he stated and I stare at him, before attempting to nod, when he lets go of my hair I’m left in a standing position with my back facing him. “Turn around” he called out and slowly I turned so that I’m facing him, he leaned back on his hands now, the white button up undone at the very top, his legs spread out as he stared at me “strip” he demanded. I took in a deep breath before grabbing the top zipper of my suit, slowly I pulled it down watching how his eyes followed the movement, his gaze practically burning into the bits of exposed skin hungrily. During this I’m reminded of the fact that I wasn't wearing a bra, leaving even more exposure for the man in front of me. I make it to the bottom of my abdomen where the zipper stops and le
Standing, I grab my underwear with a pout; I had really liked these ones, they were comfy. After staring at them for a little while I heard him laugh from behind me causing me to look back over my shoulder with a glare. “Shut up” I growled out looking at him annoyed before grabbing my suit making sure all of the knives stayed encased where they should be and he walked up behind me pressing a kiss to the top of my head before handing me one of his shirts. “Thanks” I muttered while taking it out of his hand, and he moved away to put on some boxers and sweatpants while I throw his shirt on it falling down towards my knees basically engulfing me. “I’m going to go get bottoms” I grumbled walking out of the room and I see Link who watches me wide eyed. “Called it” he calls out and Jace laughs while Ru rolls his eyes before looking me up and down and pointing out the ripped pair of underwear in my hand and I scrunch up my nose before going into my room. Closing the door I go over to my
The weekend was nice to be honest, we had spent most of our time all sitting around the living room talking, sleeping, eating and watching different movies. Right now I was standing in the hallway with Naomi as she talked about the guy she likes who was currently talking to Ru randomly looking over at us for a split second before looking back at Ru to continue his conversation. The guy Liam did talk with passion though, his hands waving around with a bright smile on his face and I watched whenever Naomi would look over a bright smile would stretch across her face whenever she would see him, it was cute. Also leading to the fact that all I want to do right now is shove the girl in front of me at the dude, one talking session and I swear their head over heels for one another, must be nice. Jace had been acting off which was definitely shown over the weekend when Link and him had gotten into a few petty arguments about random shit which Julian focused on stopping. When Jace wasn’t a
Ru brought us all the way to the nurse's office only to find it was empty, the room was large and almost a blinding white due to the complete lack of color and the sun coming into the room from the windows. Multiple white beds with white dividers between them lined the two long walls and I grimace at the sight, it looked like what they would use as a hospital room in the past when there was a bad disease outbreak. He looks around before sighing and leading me to one of the beds, making me sit down on it as he walks to a closet in the room, opening the door he walks inside before grabbing a first aid kit and walking back over to me. He sits down on the ground after he lowers the bed down so I’m not too much further up from him, opening the kit he pulls out what he needed before taking my hand and pulling towards his lap. He started to clean my hand causing the cut that was healing and the scrapping around it to burn a little and I watch how his hands move over my skin, washing the
When they stopped talking I listened to their footsteps retreat from the locker room and I pressed myself against the tile behind me, taking a deep breath and slowly blowing it out before placing a smile on my face. The forcedness almost felt painful, like it was pulling at every muscle in my face in a way it shouldn’t but I attempted to ignore it. Shaking my head I push myself up off of the wall and begin to walk out over to the girls who look completely and utterly exhausted, well except Naomi who looked like she was doing a little dance smiling to herself. “Someone is in a good mood” I teased and she looked back over at me and ran up giving me a hug. “Thank you for pushing me Amara” she whispered next to my ear and I smiled genuinely, her joy practically radiating off of her to me which was something that I definitely needed at the moment. “I’m happy that it is all working out” I smile as she steps back and then looks at me expectantly causing me to pause feeling a little bit
“Amara” Julian said, stepping closer to me with a raised eyebrow and I sighed looking over at him “what happened” he asked again this time his voice coming out even more demanding.“You don’t like her right” I finally ask, the question that has been gnawing at my insides since the first time I had ever met Rachel Hill.“Don’t like who?” he asked obliviously and I stood up.“Who the fuck do you think” I said my voice a bit louder “Rachel damn it” her name passed my lips like venom and his eyes widened.“I don’t like Rachel, Amara” he said his tone coming out calm and I nod taking a deep breath “are you jealous” he asked his tone coming out almost in a full tease and I glare at him gripping the knife in my hand.“Fuck off” I growled out and his eyes shot down to the knife in my hand and I saw a small bit of fear pass through his eyes that he was trying to avoid.“What would you do if I went out with her” he asked suddenly and my jaw clenched, rage filling my veins as I took in a deep br
*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
