Stonger Together

Chapter 7

Next morning,  Jamie woke up smiling, looking at the girl sleeping next to him. He realised how much he missed this. Sleeping next to her, knowing that if something happens he can be there for her, finally. He wasn't leaving her again. Not anymore. He decided to come back to Rosewood. He thought that leaving was the best option to protect them but he just exposed them more. He was going to surprise Lottie with it by telling her at the end of the summer.

Lottie began to wake up and Jamie snapped off his thoughts and whispered:

-Good morning, princess.

-Morning, babe.

She kissed his cheek and said:

-Happy birthday!

-Thank you, baby.

She got up and entered in the bathroom.

He smiled knowing that she won't treat this day different, because of his wish that he never celebrated his birthady.

After they ate lunch, Sayuri came to tell them that the principal wanted to talk with Jamie. He kissed Lottie's forehead and followed Sayuri.

When he came back Lottie sensed that something was wrong. Ellie said:

-Judging by your face I can tell something's wrong, so...What is it?

Jamie sighed, sitting next to Lottie.

-The principal knows that today is my birthday so he gave us all a day off.

He hesitated and said:

-We can go at the amusament park if you want...

They agreed and, 3 hours later, Jamie found himself sitting in line to get tickets for the big wheel. He looked at his girlfriend's face and saw that she was smiling. That beautiful smile that he loved to see. He figured that since everyone is so relaxed he could let himself relax too. Just for a few hours. 

When they got on top, he kissed her passionately. But when he leaned in for a second kiss he saw someone with an evil smile looking at him. Ingrid. Instantly, he felt a strong rage in him.

Lottie saw that Jamie's face changend, and, when she wanted to turn her head to look at whatever he was looking at, he hooked his finger under her chin, kissing her. But this wasn't a normal kiss. Something was terribly wrong. 

She tried to break the kiss but he didn't let her, pressing her body against his.

He carried her bridal style to the others and whispered something in Raphael's ear. She saw how suddenly, Raphael tensed and went to talk with the girls. Lottie said:

-Jamie, what's going on?

Fear was sensed in her voice and he sighed puting her down, resting his hands on her waist.

-Baby, I need you to listen to me, ok?

She nodded.

-Ingrid is here...

She didn't need to hear more to freak out. She started to tear up and her little body was shaking. He hugged her tight, her head in his chest. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

-Baby, please...Just listen to me.

She didn't said anything.

-You'll go with Raphael. He will get you and the girls safe at school, yeah?

She freezed. No. He couldn't do that. Not now. She just reunited with him. She looked up at him.

-Jamie, no...Please don't...

He kissed her forehead.

-I don't want to, but I have to.

He was breaking her heart once again.

-Promise me you'll come back. Please, Jamie. I can't lose you...

-I promise, baby. I love you.

He kissed her. She whispered against his lips:

-I love you too.

Raphael and the girls appeared next to them and after he assured their safety, he left.
