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”
After being dragged into the dorm by Naomi she drags me across it into the bedroom area, her dorm basically the reverse of ours as she pulls me into a room on the left “I feel like I’m going to vomit” she said gulping. “Your stomach is turning huh” I said, not wanting to admit the bit of a turning in my stomach at the thought of going on a date, I hate to admit it but I’m nervous. “Yes” she said, letting go of my hand and stepping over to her vanity as she looked over her tan skin in the mirror of it, almost sad. “Naomi” I stated and her eyes shot up in the mirror to look at me and I sent her a smile “you do realize you could show up in a pair of sweats and still be the most stunning person in the room right” I ask, quirking an eyebrow and she sighs. “You’re just saying that” she whispered to herself and I scoffed, shaking my head. “There's one thing about me that you know is true Naomi and that's that I never send out a compliment or share any opinion that I believe is untrue be
“Amara what is going on” Ru said from next to me as I sped down broken empty roads to make it to the warehouse. “I have to do something very important” I started taking a deep breath and he turned around reaching towards the back to grab my phone, he turned it off and set it back down in the middle where I had originally put it. “What do I need to do?” he asked softly and I looked at him for a second before staring back out of the windshield, most of the light only coming from the moon above us as trees crowded on either side of the car. “You have to stay close to me, speak to no one unless it’s Jake or Axel, and you can’t tell anyone who you are we’re on tight lockdown because of your father and they'd slit your throat happily,” I said sternly. “You’ll go with and the likeliness of you speaking is low, for your own protection and you will not intervene with what I do no matter what” I added on and I saw him nod out of the corner of my eye. “Alright then that’s what I’ll do” he s
His lips crashed onto mine as soon as we made it into another room, his lips were hungry, almost feverious as he gripped onto my hips before pushing me backwards onto the door trapping me. His hands grip tightly at my waist as he shoves me back farther into the door biting at my bottom lip but I don’t part my lips causing a small growl in anger to split from his throat before his nails dig into my hips. His kiss becomes rougher as his nails reach down towards my skin and I part my lips letting his tongue push through almost as quickly as possible exploring through my mouth one of his hands moving up wrapping around my neck and forcing my head back. Giving him better access before he moved back, both of us breathing heavily as his ice cold eyes stared down at me except they weren’t there normal shade they had looked almost as if a storm was brewing within them. He looked over at me with a sadistic smile and I felt goosebumps prickle across my body and a tightening in my stomach, hi
I was standing leaned against the desk in front of me staring at the screen while Jake pulled through file after file finding every single piece of information Alexander could have had the opportunity to share. Pieces of information flew by, nothing that was too damaging had been in his knowledge nor did he have anything that was anywhere near important online and nothing had been deleted, that was the first check. “Casey can’t know much more Alexander was higher but if he made the deal in exchange for a specific piece of information that was what he gave, you know how he was” Jake said before leaning his head in his hands clearly tired from looking at the screen. “Found this little lamb wandering around” Axel came into the room with Ru and I looked over my shoulder to see the look on Ru’s face as he looked at Axel after his comment “scary little lamb” Axel muttered shaking his head and I let out a quiet laugh. Axel came up behind me kissing me on the head before looking at the co
After everyone ate, we sat at the table for a little longer, all of us talking until Ru and I decided we needed to get back to the dorm since we hadn’t told anyone we were going to be out for so long. We were in the car and I was driving before Ru cleared his throat looking over at me expectantly and I looked over at him for a split second “what” I asked before looking back at the road. “Pull over” he stated and I took in a breath before nodding my head slowly pulling off to the side and parking “now look at me” he stated and I did so slightly turning my body with me as well. “Why were you crying princess” he asked and I let out a sigh moving my head to the side letting it rest on the back of my seat. “I told you I’m all good Ru” I whispered and he shook his head turning his body over to me and I sigh. “You weren’t okay and I want to know what was happening” he stated sternly looking at me expectantly. “Noona and I were just talking” I said letting out a small laugh but he was s
Rolling over I groan, stretching a bit but I hit something next to me causing my face to scrunch up as I push the object away, a loud thud sound goes through the room and I smile stretching out completely. “Amara” I heard my name in a whiney whisper and I groaned, turning away from it when I felt the bed around me shift down causing me to roll back a bit and I pout. “Did you seriously shove me off of my own bed” I heard his voice come back closer this time and I sniff rolling onto my back “darling” his voice came back and my eyes scrunch up. “Hi” I whispered, rolling into him and he chuckled. “Don’t be all sweet now” he said laughing a bit and I snuggled into his chest causing him to pull me all the way on top of him. “Good morning Julian” I mumbled into his neck and his arms wrapped around my waist. “Good morning my darling” he whispered back and I smiled before pressing a soft kiss to the side of his neck and his hand gripped my hip even tighter “careful” he growled out and I b
*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
