All Chapters of Sapphire (Book #3 of the Jewel Series): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I still feel weird walking into Dad’s house without knocking. He told me I didn’t need to knock, and I don’t, but it still seems funny not to. I find Mathius sitting shirtless on the couch, shoving slices of pizza in his mouth. I roll my eyes. I am sure that he has a bottomless stomach. I will admit that my brother is good-looking, but I am unsure how he keeps his six-pack. The asshole is always eating. I set my bag down and sneak up behind him. I take my cold water and let it trickle down the back of his neck. I start laughing. I am sure his head damn near hit the ceiling with how high he jumped, not to mention that girl shriek he released. I laugh at Mathius’s reaction when Dad and Yasmin enter the room. I stand up as Mathius turns and shoots me the death look. “What the hell is going on?” Dad asks. “I was sitting here eating pizza when this little shit decided to dribble cold fucking water down the back of my neck.” Mathius hisses. “Sorry, I figured you were hot

We had just returned to the hotel when our phones started ballistic. We all grabbed for them at the same time. We were about to get on the bus and return within half an hour. Thankfully it was only a three-hour bus ride, and then we would be home. I looked at my phone and saw Mathius’s number. It isn’t weird for him to call me, but something in my gut told me something was wrong. Luke had said something similar as we packed up in the locker room. I answered my phone as I walked out the door. I could hear a shit ton of background noise when he told me I needed to get home now. He sounded frantic, and I was about ot ask him what the fuck was wrong when he said there had been a car accident and Sapphire was in the hospital. I looked at Luke and Riley, and it seemed that whoever they were talking to had told them the same thing. We practically leaped onto the bus as it was pulling out. There was nothing we could do. Riley had told the coach what had happened and told the drive

Janessya offered to accompany me tonight, but I knew I needed to do this alone. I don't know if Coalan has anyone with him, but I would like it to be the two of us. We had spoken a bit when the girls were in the hospital, but we both agreed it was not the time and place for a discussion like the one we would have tonight. I was surprised to see he had chosen an upscale restaurant for us to meet at. I have eaten here before with Dylan and his family. It is one of my favorites, but it is only where you sometimes eat. I pull up into the valet area. One of them opens my door for me, which is weird, but I step out and hand them my keys. The hostess sees me and practically runs over. I tell her that I am here to meet someone and who that is, and she shows me to the private room that Coalan has booked. Thank god, I didn’t want to have this conversation out on the restaurant's main floor. I pull the chair out, sit down and scoot closer. Coalan watches me with a smile on his face.

I am so significantly over this shit. This last week has been testing my patients like no other. I hate that someone has to help me, but I am thankful for Indigo. He has been accompanying me to classes and carrying anything I need to be carried. So far, everyone has been great, and all my teachers were glad to hear that I was ok. Dylan has been great and ensures that my ribs are wrapped to help, but I still have to be careful when moving. Gareth asked me about Indigo and why he was following me. I told him what had happened, and he immediately asked if I was okay. I said yes but explained that I had a cracked rib and several bruised ribs. Indigo couldn’t sit in this class with me, so he had no idea I was talking with Gareth. Elias is also here, but he hardly ever says anything to me. There is still something hauntingly familiar about him, but I still can’t figure out why. I swear someone I know has the same colored eyes, but I can’t recall who that is. “So that guy is help

I expected to be doing something different today. Classes had ended for the day when Dad called, letting me know he needed me and the other guys to get our asses to the house. I have no idea what is happening, but I sent a mass text to the guys telling them to head to the house. We would have had the girls come with us, but they had follow-up doctor's appointments. I had said goodbye to Sapphire, who still had Indigo tagging along as her helper. I will not lie; I was thrilled when he offered. I didn’t want her carrying anything; he also was a bodyguard. I know she doesn’t need a bodyguard, but with her being injured, she does, not that I will tell her that. I love the fact that she is so fucking independent, but sometimes it is annoying. Luke was still in a shitty mood. He hates the idea of Kyllyan having a little girl. “Don’t worry, mate, that little sheila will have all of us to make sure no one, especially boys, come near her.” Keegan points out. “He is right.
