“Well I take it you two are all buddy buddy again” Naomi said pointing over to Jace who had just left my side following after Ru and Liam, talking about god knows what. “Yeah we finally started talking again” I nodded looking after him and Naomi looked over at me while raising an eyebrow almost like she was expecting to get more information out of me and my eyebrows furrow “what’s with the look” I ask and she shrugs almost pretending to be innocent. “Oh nothing, I was just thinking,” she said, rocking a bit back and forth while looking around the hallway “what’s it like having four men in love with you” she asked and I scoffed. “That is so not what’s happening” I stated my arms moving up to cross over my chest as I stared at her. “Oh but it so is, why must you deny the truth Amara” she said looking over at me and I rolled my eyes while shaking my head. “I’m not denying the truth, I’m denying an absurd question” I stated and she clicked her tongue. “So you’re gonna tell me none o
By the time class was over I was stuck in the living room with four boys staring me down angrily and I just kinda rocked back and forth on my heels as they glared at me and I bit down on my bottom lip. “Sooo I’m gonna go do homework” I said, plastering a smile on my face and going to walk past them but Jace grabbed my arm and I let out a small sigh letting my head fall down. “What the fuck are you thinking” he growled out and I threw my head back with a pained face expression, not fully having a good reason when it came to the situation that was an overall view. “I don’t know” I whispered, shaking my head a little bit and Link stomps up in front of me. “You don’t know” he stated his voice almost coming out like a growl “you and fucking blondie all alone in a room for almost an hour” he said loudly pointing towards the door before rolling his eyes and scoffing. “Link nothing is going to happen” I said and he shook his head. “With her or me” he asked and my eyes widened “Amara I l
I was standing in the middle of the hallway, basically half asleep leaned against the lockers, the cool medal feeling nice on my headache. “Boy’s keep you up last night” Naomi asked, her tone coming out teasingly and I let out a small scoff, smiling a little. “Not really no, just not feeling too good is all” I said my eyes closing as I spoke and I focused on the metal's coolness against my skin. “Are you sure?” she asked and I felt her hand press against my forehead. “It’s just a headache” I muttered and she sighs. “Did you take anything to help, I have something” she said pulling her hand back and there was a small shuffling of a bag and I nod. “Thanks” I mutter, pushing myself off of the lockers a little bit and taking the Tylenol from her hand before swallowing it dry. “Yeah that’s definitely a way to do that” she said, nodding a bit to herself and the bell rang causing me to groan, my face scrunching up at the loud sound, my head feeling like it's pounding. “No” Naomi whin
We were piling up in the car, a few bags in the trunk and I waved at the girls saying goodbye again as the car drove away and I leaned back in my seat letting out a small sigh, seeing my mother was honestly the last thing I wanted to do. I don’t think I have the mental capacity to deal with her, but I knew I’d have to do so anyway and there was no backing out of the situation as is. “You okay” Jace whispered in my ear and I looked over at him letting out a small sigh and nodding, there was no point in complaining about a situation you were already stuck dealing with. His hand grabs mine and I lean my head over resting it on his shoulder before I close my eyes taking in the trip quickly once I fall asleep. “Come on, up we get” Julian said, his hands on both of my knees and I looked at him confused at his choice of words causing him to chuckle. I sit up and Jace shifts, clearly being woken up by my movements “can we do a movie night like last time” I ask, the idea suddenly popping
“What did you do to her?” I ask William as he stands on the other end of his desk staring at me silently and I cross my arms over my chest. “What was that?” I asked a bit louder this time and he shrugged. “I don’t know” he whispered and I made a sorrowful look as I stared at him. “My mother just had a mental breakdown” I said pointing towards the ground, my tongue crossing over my teeth “and all I get is an I don’t know” I exclaimed a little loudly with tears in my eyes. I’m an awesome fucking actress, I wanted to pat myself on the back as I saw the pain in his eyes as he stared at my heart broken stated. “Is she going to be okay?” I ask and he slowly nods his head yes and I let out a small sigh before looking off and swallowing. “My mother hasn’t acted so detached since my father passed away” I whispered and he stepped around his desk stepping closer to me and I sucked in a breath slowly blowing out some air, trying to keep myself from crying. “She was gonna kill me wasn’t she
I grunt from an external pressure digging into my hand causing a tear in the stitches and I open my eyes to find a snoring Link basically digging into me causing me to push him off his body falling onto the ground. He lets out a small grunt, clearly not fully paying attention or realizing the situation and I roll my eyes tilting my head back, my hand flopped to the side. I heard a laugh from close by and I look over to see Jace’s body shaking in laughter as he looks at Link on the ground, who’s butt weirdly enough was kinda popped up like you’d see in those baby diaper commercials. “Best thing to wake up to ever” Jace said between laughs and I looked at him with a bored expression before someone reached over and slapped him on the head, making me look over at Julian who was sitting next to me. “Idiot” Julian grumbled before looking at me and holding out his hand “what’d the kid do to you anyway” he asked and I just stared at him for a moment but he shook his hand a little bit moti
By the next day I was doing surprisingly well, walking around and fully conscious once again. I went to check in on my mother who seemed almost like she was in a small haze as she looked at me. “Amara” she whispered out in a questioning tone as I stepped closer to her as she gripped her head looking up at me. “Yes” I stated and her body started shaking causing me to raise an eyebrow at the change in her state. “I’m not ready to die” she whispered with tears streaming down her face and I buckled over in laughter causing her to go silent as she stared at me, my laughs being the only thing she could hear. “Oh Circe, I’m not killing you yet” I said just above a whisper w=right next to her ear while I pushed some of her hair away from her collar bone “that wouldn’t be any fun” I muttered and she looked at me with fear. “What’s wrong” I ask sarcastically “memories coming back” I ask and she lets out a shaky breath. “Remembering all the little things you did to me, Liliana, Casey you’r
Pulling the long sleeve shirt off as he closes and locks the bathroom door and I look back at him raising an eyebrow “extra precaution” he shrugged and I let out a small laugh as I let the shirt fall to the floor. I open the shower door and turn on the water and two hands pull against my waist before lips attach themselves to my neck and I giggle tilting my head over to the side. I hum smiling and he kisses across my shoulder, his hand coming up behind my back to unclip my bra. I reach my hand out and check the temperature of the water before turning around letting my bra fall down to the ground and his eyes dart to my chest causing me to laugh a little. I step forward and grab the hem of his shirt before pulling it up and off of him and he smiled before leaning down and kissing me pulling me by the waist further against him. I reached down and unbuttoned his pants and he looked down at me a little wide eyed as I pulled down the zipper slightly tugging on the pants to make them f
*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
