“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
Closing the door behind me I let out a breath, relaxing a bit against the cool wood before I look around the classroom. Empty, and dark with some white canvas’ sticking out in the corner, long white sheets around the room. My art classroom, the one I now have a key to, thanks to the caring professor that’s giving me the room for extra practice and utilities for my own designs. It was dark out now, late on tuesday night, the moon was shining into the room through the windows and I sighed looking around, feeling a bit more at peace. This friday was the date with Ru, well double date and my nerves were just a bit on edge about it mainly in excitement though. Walking across the classroom I made it to my area, paint brushes were already scattered on the lip of the easel and a small compartment attached to it. Grabbing the cup I move to the old sink in the back of the room turning it on causing loud creaking to fill the once quiet room and there's a knock on the door causing me to paus
Her scream pierced the air and I held my hands over my ears tightly, clenching my fingers around them to try and drown out the screams but it didn’t help. My eyes were scrunched shut tightly to look away from the sight in front of me when someone grabs my hair by the scalp causing me to gasp as the pain shoots through me causing tears to form in my eyes. I’m thrown onto the ground causing me to grunt “I didn’t do it” I yelled in a pleading tone as I slowly opened my eyes to see my uncle Casey above me covered in blood “please” I begged. He shakes his head and I hear a sigh as I pull my hands down, looking towards it I see my father he looked almost disappointed as he looked at the woman on the ground. “Why does anyone care about the bitch anyway” I heard my mother scream almost in a sobbing tone, like us caring for anyone else was the end of the world, a mistake for us to make and clearly it was. “Calm down Circe” my uncle hissed glaring at her and my father looked back and forth
Groaning, I threw my bag off my shoulder and leaned against the wall, tired, my professor looking over at me wide eyed, her hair springing out all around her as always but she had some paint smeared on her cheek this afternoon. “Back so soon Amara” she said smiling widely at me and I let out a small laugh. “I just can’t help myself” I said and she nodded looking at her canvas, understanding how I felt. “You’ve had a rough day” she stated and I let out a sigh, this woman weirdly understood me and I had a ton of respect for her. “Rough life” I mumbled letting out a fake laugh and she looked at me before motioning me over to her, and I did so without complaint walking up to her and she motions over to the painting in front of her. “You hold a lot deep down inside of you Amara” she whispered “it can be suffocating almost, all the things you hold inside you, you hold it well but finding those around you can save you and I think you’ve found them” she said and I looked at her confused.
Turning I twist some of the blankets but can’t fully move either way making me groan in annoyance, my eyes scrunching up in my sleepy state. Groaning in frustration I open my eyes, and attempt to look around me finding Ru and Julian on either side of me in Julian’s bed, when the fuck did I get here I think to myself. Moving quickly I pull up the blanket and look underneath and sigh when I find myself in clothing. I didn’t have a threesome so that's good or maybe it’s a little disappointing. I wasn’t wearing this yesterday though, I think looking at the skanky tank top I’m wearing and what I think is supposed to be shorts. Sighing I drop the blanket back down and let my body relax my mind flickering over what happened with Jace and I scrunch my face up before pulling the blanket up a bit coving myself fully with it. “Darling” Julian’s voice came out gruff before I heard a small chuckle “what are you doing” he asked and you could hear the sleep in his voice, before the blankets mov
Walking over to the bathroom door I close it, putting on a little latch to keep it closed before stepping back over to my bed where I had thrown down my clothes. Pulling off my clothes I begin to change. I put on a pair of ripped up stockings and a skirt over them before pulling on a cropped black t-shirt before I walk into the bathroom and get fully ready for the day. Yawning I take a step back and begin to fix my and Link leans against the doorframe with an annoyed expression. Looking over at him I raise an eyebrow "what happened to you" I said looking him up and down examining his new messy state and he shakes his head. "You just had to send Ru into the room huh" he said and my eyebrows furrowed before I shook my head and held up my hand. "You know what I don't want to know" I stated and he just looked at me for a moment before shrugging. "Fine" he mumbled before pushing himself off of the doorframe "so you ready for the fair" he asked and I nodded. "So you're coming with" I
Walking into the fair I looked around, I had never been to a fair before and it was definitely a sight to see. Giant crowds of people were spread across the lot of land all laughing and running around with prizes or food in their hands. Everyone looked genuinely happy, like the outside world no longer existed and whatever issues that were out there were left out there. Smaller children were giggling and dragging their parents along with them who held looks of worry and excitement as they forced their bodies to keep up with their littles and I smiled at the sight of it all. Large roller coasters and game tables were spread all over the area, barely any grass truly being left untouched on the ground due to the giant exhibits and I looked around in awe at it all. “Have you never been to a fair?” Ru asked and all the guys looked at me as I looked across the large machinery and I shook my head. “No, I haven’t” I whispered my head still tilted a bit backwards to look at everything tha
“You ditched me yesterday, you bitch” Naomi said walking up next to me and sitting down without any food and I looked at her skeptically, she always ate lunch. “I was busy” I shrugged and a smirk spread across her face. “How was Ru?” she asked cockily and I looked over at her running my tongue over my teeth letting out a small scoff before shaking my head side to side. “What in particular makes you think I was with Ru” I ask sweetly and she lets out a small laugh causing me to smile. “Oh I don’t know Amara” she said straightening her poster and looking over at me “maybe the fact that you both were absent yesterday, along with Julian and Link and although Jace was here there was absolutely no way four out of the five of you got sick” she stated the facts and I smiled at her. “How very observant of you” I said and she nodded with a smile. “It wasn’t hard to realize when my best friend wasn’t here” she said, getting a bit closer to my face and I laughed. “I’m your best friend now”
*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
