Dont blame me

Chapter 12

Im sitting legs crossed in the corner of the room. One of my hands is typing furiously away at the keyboard the other, shoveing a twinkie in my mouth.

My head snaps up when I hear Jah's phone ring. A pile of cream falls into my lap.

"Dammit." I whisper dragging my finger along the pants to scoop it up. My messy hand and pants are forgotten when Jah hands Owen the phone I stand sucking the frosting off my fingers as I walk to the table and tell Owen to put the phone on speaker.

Giselles voice floods over the speaker. I make my expression neutral. Owen brushes his fingers lightly over mine before intertwining our hands. His expression looked far off. His gaze was calculating. 

"I hate that bitch" I mummble when the phone line ends. Letty's lips twitch upward as she tries not to smile. I grin in this half victory. My smile instantly drops as Owns eyes warn me to be quiet. I guess i really was the only person who knew Riley worked for him.

Owen stands and walks over too Jah and Ivory. Unease crawls into my stomache as he lowers his voice to speak words I cant catch. I do however catch my mouth and run to the bathroom throwing up my twinkie just in time.

When we finally pulled up to the warehouse  I could see han and roman in my peripheral vision. Smart boys I think as Han starts running toward us.

Letty and I duck Just in time as Jah and Ivory whip out guns and began shooting foward. Letty runs grabbingg my hand in hers. I stop to see Riley and Giselle emerge. Wernt there 3 people? I cant ponder the thought any longer as Riley see's me and charges foward.

"Now can we go "Letty grits her teeth in annoyance.

"Yup" I whispered as she tugs me along.

"Ew." I squirm running on my tiptoes through the sewer. Letty stops for a spare second to send me a death glare before wrenching the subway door open.

I'm right behind her dodging people and apologizing as I run but I can feel Riley hot on our trail. I hear a loud grunt and duck just in time as Rileys arms reach for Letty.

She slams her into the wall trying to cuff her. I kick the back of her leg moving as letty swings at her. I step idly to the side letting letty fight her battle. I rub my stomach worried.

"Go." Letty tells me bringing her fists up. Her eyes trail to my stomach then back to me. I bite my lip stubbornly before turning and running.

I stop by the subway and count in my head. 56, 57, 58, come on Letty hurry up. 59. Letty darts forward grabbing my arm and dragging us both through the subway doors just as they close.

She wipes sweat off of her forhead before sitting in an empty seat.

"How did you know?" I ask quietly laying my head on her shoulder.

"I didnt.You confirmed my thoughts when you ran." She responds.

"I wasn't gonna leave you." I swore looking up to meet her eyes. She wraps her arms around me shushing me.

"I know. I know. But there's also no way your stubborn ass was gonna leave unless you where protecting someone else."

"Owen doesn't know." I said

"That's OK. I'm here for you Val. Anything you need just tell me."

"I'm mad."

"At owen?"
