Get through Senior year. That's all I needed to do then I would finally be able to get out of Oklahoma.
Head down and keep quiet. That's all I had to do and I would survive. That was my strategy.
Until I caught the attention of the wrong person.

Me: No, I haven't seen her.
A lie I didn't regret telling.
I sent the message to Adrian nearly an hour ago in response to his question. Apparently, Mercer was missing too but I had a feeling where he could have gone.
Somewhere he felt at peace.
Adrian was looking for his sister. Worried about her sudden disappearance from the house the morning after a big reveal.
But she was safe. Right here in my bed as she cries.
She had cried all night long.
The sounds sent cracks to my chest as she explained to me what went down the night before. How her life was just so complicated. The knowledge of Vince Petrov being not just her biological father but Mercer and Adrian's father as well came as a big shock to me.
"I-I just can't handle any of them. Do they not see that their actions have done nothing but ruin this family." she sniffs, shaking her head as she stared up at the ceiling.
Sun rays peeped inside, lighting up the room.
I was thankful that my mother was at work because she would have never allowed me to have a girl over without her being there.
My mother was a strict woman and I followed her rules to a certain extent.
Another cry slips past Jules's lips and I can't handle it anymore. I hated her all fucking sad.
I like seeing her as the happy girl I know her to be. Her beautiful smile lights up any room she's in. Her optimistic and tangible personality was attractive to me and it was unusual for a guy like me.
The feelings it created inside of me were proscribed and Mercer would kick my ass if he ever knew.
"Come here, Sunshine."
Sniffling, she brings her small body closer to me, her arm thrown over my shoulder while her face rests within my neck. Ignoring the wetness of her tears, I focused on the feeling of her fingers massaging my scalp.
Using one arm, I bring her body to me, positioning her somewhat on top of me while my other hand rubs at the exposed on her thighs. Turning my head slightly, I place a kiss on her head and her hold on me anchors.
"As long as you have your brothers, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about."
She sniffs again, tilting her beautiful face to mine. "A-And you?" she questions me, her voice low and unguarded.
"I'm not going anywhere no time soon, Sunshine."
Something I have yet to know whether it's true or not.
I had personal issues to confront myself. Demons locked in a closet I have yet to face and I worried that I would taint her delicate heart with the shit I had been through.
Her dark amber eyes flicker across my face as she pulls her hands from my hair to my face. The light pads of her fingers caressed the little stubble that had grown out over the passing days.
Forcing away the negativity, I focused on her.
"Closer, baby," I murmur into the soft skin of her neck. Her sweet scent consumed me.
Bringing her body closer to me to the point where she was on top of me completely, she relaxed against me as I urged her to get some sleep.
My sunshine needed me.
To hold her. Comfort her.
I'm her demon and I'll give her the world if she asked me to.
- Who's POV? Thoughts?
Can't write too much about them. I don't want to spoil what I have in mind for these two. #Juaze #SunshinexDemon
