Them. | The Final Installment of the Him Series | Joe Jonas Fanfiction

Twenty Two.

Ruffle. Ruffle.

Furrowing my brows, I begin to turn just as-

SNAP!

Gasping lightly, I turn fully, my eyes widening at the sight.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Lunging forward, I cover his mouth, pushing him behind a tree and closing my eyes for a second.

Please don't be looking. Please don't be looking.

I open them again, turning my head and slowly peering out from behind the tree to see Charles looking around, but not at them, before walking to the door of the bunker, punching in the code, and entering.

Once the door shuts, I let my hand fall from his lips to his shirt, dragging him through the trees and back to my car before letting go, turning around and shoving him with each whisper-yelled word.

"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!"

He falls back lightly before straightening himself back out, simply looking at me.

"Joseph Adam, you have lost your damn mind. What the hell are you doing here?"

He furrows his brows as I watch his own anger bubble to the surface. "You were in a fucking car accident, Addison. You have a severe concussion! What the hell are you doing out here?! Alone, at that."

I scoff. "And that means that you can just show up here and follow me into dark fucking woods while I'm chasing a lead and then make noise to almost get us caught and potentially killed!?" I yell at him, my voice still hushed.

"I'm your husband, so yeah, I think you having a severe concussion is a-

"Wait," I say, putting a hand up. "Wait."

He stops, his face still furious. "What?"

I breath heavy, though my mouth as I piece together the words, furrowing my brows and narrowing my eyes at him. "How the hell did you know about my accident and that I have a severe concussion?"

"Don't forget you getting poisoned and almost dying a second time right after the first," he scoffs.

I blink, my jaw locking. "Joe."

His face falls, gulping and blinking a few times before sighing in defeat. "Londyn."

I blink multiple times, raising my brows at him. "You know about Londyn."

He nods slowly. "I know about Londyn."

I let out a shocked, humorless laugh, running my hand through my tangled roots, letting it sit at the top of my head as the other hand holds my belt loop. I take a few steps, spinning in a circle slowly. I face him again, staring for a moment. "How?"

"I caught her," he says. "I kept noticing her and cornered her. Threatened her because I thought she was a threat to the girls until she said you sent her."

I raise my brows, trying to prevent myself from laughing. "You threatened her?"

He shrugs, looking up for a second before back at me. "For lack of better words."

I laugh humorlessly once again, shaking my head. "How the hell is this happening? Joe," I look at him, half sympathetically. "You cannot be here. I told you not to find me."

He lets out a breath, looking away, stressed, before looking back at me. "I had to see for myself that you were okay."

I sigh, giving him a sympathetic look.
