“Amara” I heard him whisper as the door closed and my eyebrows furrowed at the sound, I locked the door I thought to myself before opening my eyes to find Jace staring down at me. “No” I whispered, rolling over onto my other side facing away from him and I heard him sigh as he lay down behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist and pulling my back into him. “It’s okay” he whispered softly as I stared at my headboard, our bodies sideways on the bed. “Why are you in here, how did you get in here” I whispered the questions out, my voice hoarse from crying and sleeping and he sush’s me his breath fanning against the back of my neck as he moves one hand to push my hair out of the way. “I picked it, don’t be mad, and I’m here because you’ve been in here for two days not talking to anyone” he whispered and I let out a sigh before moving to lay on my back the large shirt I threw on this morning pulling around me making me feel a bit trapped. “We’ve been worried” he mumbled and I looked
“I love you too Jack, and do me one more favor” I whispered and he waited for me to speak “I want extra protection put on Gloria and Hector along with Axel, bring him somewhere with you so I know he’s safe” I whispered. “I will, I’ll make sure they’re protected Amara” he said and I nodded to myself because if there was anyone I could trust it was always Jack, and I knew he would protect our family. “I’ll get everything set now, don’t stress too much please” he said his tone becoming more of a beg and I nodded. “I leave in two days for this new fucking school, where I’m stuck with them I’ll be a bit further but still close enough to the compound” I stated and he let out a sigh. “I'll have some people posed as students, just don’t get too close to them alright, find a group of chicks and try to blend in as far as you can from those boys” he said and I nodded to myself a new plan being set in motion. “Got it, thanks” I whispered and I heard him laugh a bit causing a smile to break o
“I don’t like being left in the dark Amara” Julian grumbled his form now towering over me as I crane my neck to look up at him a glare settled on my face. “Yeah it sucks doesn’t it, always being the last to know” I said snarkily and he sucked in a deep breath “but don’t worry I don’t mind sharing my pit and letting you be the star for a little bit” I said tilting my head to the side. “Amara” he said sternly and I rolled my eyes before moving away from him “tell me” he stated while following behind me. “I don’t have to tell you shit Julian” I said my tone blank causing him to pause for a moment but he reached out towards me and I hold up a hand for him to pause forgetting about what my mother had done, but the knowledge is quickly brought back as his eyes widen in surprise and his mad face morphs into one of confusion. So much for not having them know more information, one secret out of pocket I guess, but they’ll think it's all my mother which couldn’t be farther from the truth.
When it was time to leave the house everyone was getting their bags stuffed into the back of a black limo, why were we heading to school in a limo I have absolutely no clue but here we were. Walking out of the doorway I look over at Link who stood at the top looking down towards the car before he took a step forward and I laughed before walking right up next to him “careful you wouldn’t want to trip” I whispered in his ear before laughing and walking down the steps leaving the boy behind wide eyed think of a few nights ago. “Or do you only do that going up the stairs?” I called out looking back at him and he rolled his eyes, a pout forming on his face as he steps down the steps before motioning his arms out when he made it to the bottom with an annoyed look on his face. Yesterday was hard and dinner last night was one of the most tense things in the world. Unlike the boys I was quick to act normal but they looked almost like they were afraid to talk, like if they said something I’d
"Bathroom" I asked and Julian paused for a moment before pointing to the door behind me that's in the living space. "That's a half bath, but the rooms have connected bathrooms between them so there are only two showers, you'll probably want to use the one connecting your bedroom and Ru and Links it has better water pressure so normally we all use that one," he stated and I nodded realizing that meant we all would probably be sharing one shower now. "Thank you for letting me know," I said and he nodded in reply before looking over at everyone. “New rule, no fucking in the shower” Julain stated and I almost choked on my saliva as Link started to bitch about it “no, you can’t fuck Amara in the shower, no funny business” Julian said strictly and my eyes widened. “But I can fuck her somewhere else” Link asked and I glared over at the boy. “Who said I was fucking you anyway” I asked and he looked at me in disappointment. “Come on baby, do we really need to argue about this right now,
“I probably shouldn’t have done that” I said my eyes wide as I pull myself out of his hold and turn away from him while taking in a deep breath and running a hand down my face “I am such a fucking idiot” I muttered to myself and I heard him laugh from behind me. “I was starting to think I disgusted you, nice to know I don’t” he said and I threw my head back cursing in my head about what I had just done “are you already regretting it” he asked and I paused because truly I didn’t. “I liked it” I whispered and his arms wrapped around me from behind. “Thank god” he muttered resting his head on my shoulder “I got worried I was the only one to enjoy it for a second” he said and I moved around to hit his chest causing him to laugh a little bit and a smile spread across my face. “You still positive you have to sleep in Jace’s room tonight” he asked and I moved a bit to look at his head that rested on my shoulder with an eyebrow raised. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure” I said before my eyes widene
“What the fuck did you do with her last night Julian” I heard a scream and I bounced up looking over at the other side of the bed to see it empty and arguing continued outside the room. Looking around I see the door slightly ajar and I sigh before pulling the blankets off of me and swinging my legs over the edge of the bed before standing up my feet hitting against cold wooden floors. “Why are you so worried, what did you do with her?” I heard Jace growl out and I trudged out of the bedroom pushing the door the rest of the way open and walking out to the living space while letting out a yawn. “Don’t fucking talk to me like that Jace” I heard a growl and I saw Julian step up to Jace, my figure behind Jaces back but I could see the deadly look Julian had and based off of what I had heard all of this was happening because of me. “That’s enough” I heard Ru state as he stepped up, placing a hand in front of Julians chest and sending a look at Jace before he saw me standing behind him.
Julian locked both doors in the room causing me to sigh and sit on the end of the bed that was behind me and he stalked a bit over towards me. “Are you sure you want to talk now” I ask looking down towards the ground and I hear him hum in response causing me to let out a sigh. “Do I even have the right to be upset?” he whispered, sounding a bit frustrated and I looked up to see him pacing back and forth across the room. “I’m sorry” I whispered and he shook his head. “That's the thing though Amara you don’t have anything to be sorry for” he said before turning to look at me and stepping closer “this situation is very complicated, and I can’t be mad at you if something like that happens so I’m sorry” he said and I felt surprised. He was apologizing to me, because of something I did, something I chose to do “my choice was my own Julian there is no reason for you to apologize to me” I replied looking at him surprised and shaking my head a bit. “I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did
