Chapter 42: Revenge at it's Peak

Jayden's POV

I gulped down the bottle of water that was given to me before cleaning my mouth and setting it aside.

I let my gaze brush through the scene in front of me. Somehow all of us had made it to Italy, yet not all of us had complete permission from our parents.

Louis for one almost couldn't sneak out in time for our flight with how much his parents were babying him so he went with the other option of lecturing them on how he was grown up enough to take care of himself.

The training has been going smoothly although it's mostly us guys who practiced, girls were taught self defense although Alisa seemed keen on learning more.

Despite everything, it is still Don's people who train the most. It's fair enough since they are the mafia group although I do feel bad for breaking the peace they once had.

"What's up dude, you seem to be deep in thought" Trent said sitting beside me. Trent came back immediately he heard of Sam's kidnapping and ever since then we've been bonding just fine, I've gotten to know a lot about Sam in just a few days than I've known ever since we met.

"Do you think we'll be ready enough by the end of this week" I asked and Trent shrugged.

"Everybody seems dedicated enough so we should be" he replied and I nodded. 'We have to be', I thought to myself not wanting to say it aloud.

"What the hell, guys come and see this" Louis's voice yelled a certain urgency in it.

I immediately got up Trent following closely as we went in the direction Louis was, which was right in front of the training hall.

"What is it" I heard Blake ask as we approached them. He's so over protective of the little guy yet he won't just man up and date him.

"Take a look at this video" Louis said opening a video from our schools vlog for us to see. The title already had me breaking in cold sweat and I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle the rest.

'We found your dirty little secret Sam' it said and when I looked down to see who had uploaded the video, I wasn't in the least bit surprised to see that it had been uploaded by Jake and Bella.

As the video played on, my confusion and anxiety kept rising and I could tell it was the same with the others.

"Sam, wanna meet me at the park?" a girl with straight brown hair and brown eyes said and when Sam agreed, she gave her friends a thumbs up snickering along with them.

The next scene had Sam violently shaking in front of some douche looking kid and my fists tightened involuntarily.

"So Sam, you had a reasonable explanation for your social awkwardness and you didn't tell us. You know if you did, I'm sure most people wouldn't have minded being your friend but since you didn't, you're stuck with your loser friends" he said in a baby voice and although the taunting sounded meaningless to me, it seemed to have gotten to Sam judging from her unshed tears and quivering lips.

"Say something Sam, or are you afraid you'll have a panic attack" he jeered again sounding really immature.

"How did you know, who told you that" Sam asked looking on the verge of a break down.

"I did" the girl from before answered and Sam let out a loud gasp.

"Ruby, why will you do that" she asked tears now streaming down her face.

"Simple, I was tired of faking being friends with you"

"But you're supposed to be my best friend, I told you all this for a reason" Sam said and I gulped at how vulnerable she looked.
