The Eighty Nine's leader. My Lover.

Chapter 37.

"Hey, wake up, we gotta go home".

I opened my eyes looking around, the twins on the chairs with guns."What time is it?".

"Almost midnight".

I sighed closing my eyes again, Jace smiled brushing my forehead then lifted me up and off the bed, Michelle putting a jacket over me, I slightly smiled putting my head on Jace's chest and I fell asleep again.

I only woke up after having a bad dream, I sat up straight and a figure on the chair watching me made it all worse, I closed my eyes, it's just your imagination. When I opened them again it was still there, I moved my hand on the bed to the other side and once again, it was empty. Jace left, again only this time I really need him.

"It's just a nightmare".

"Jace?".

He switched on the light and he was just seated there a gun on his lap, another on the floor besides him and a knife on his other lap. It's not even time to be out of bed yet, he should be sleeping.

"Why are you up? And what's with the guns?".

"It was just a nightmare, go back to bed".

"What about you?".

"Don't worry about me, you get some rest".

I switched on the bedside lamp, sitting up with my back against the wall."My father... he... He abused me Jace, in ways you can't imagine, he... He can't be out".

"I know Hazel but he won't hurt you, ever again".

"He will kill me, Jace".

Jace got up taking his gun and the knife, he put them on the bedside table, the other gun still on the floor, he got in bed fully clothed, behind me and held me tight.

"I'm right here and he's not that scary besides I have guns, a lot of guns".

That was suppose to light up the mood but I couldn't keep the tears from falling out, my father is a monster, he did unspeakable things to me. He did things I want to forget, things I wish I could forget but my brain won't let me. I held Jace's arms around my waist a bit tighter, Jace kissed the back of my neck.

I wanted to fall asleep but I couldn't, the thought of him out there, the thought of him knowing I exist scares me half to death. I don't want him in my life, I don't even want him to know about my life or anything that has to do with me, Jace's hands felt moist from the blood.

"Jace".

"Mhhhhh".

"Jace".

"Yeah?".

"Do you think he'll hurt me? What if he finds me and kills me? What if...?".

Jace turned around facing me."Babe, no one's killing anyone, he knows he'll have to go through me and the Eighty Nine's first".

"But what if...?".

"Sleep, Hazel, no one's gonna hurt you, ever, I'm here to protect you, we're here to protect you".

I closed my eyes and just breath, there's no point in me stressing about it, if my father wants me dead, he could kill me and there's nothing any of us could do about it. As much as I believe and have faith in the Eighty Nine's and Jace but my father and his goons are ruthless.

Jace held me tighter his head still buried in the back of my neck his breath brushing against it. He got closer to me, I love him so damn much, I don't even know what's going on anymore that's just how much I love him. He does make me feel safe.
