Sophia’s POV

I drained the blood I was drinking down the sink and finished the cup quickly then zoomed off to the door to open the door.

I gasped when I saw that it was Ian and the other standing there. My mouth spread in a wide grin which Ian didn’t reciprocate. I frowned. What was going on? What was wrong?

I moved to the side so they could come in and I closed the door behind me. “What’s with the looks? What’s going on?” I asked.

“You didn’t call me to tell me that you both were being watched,” he answered, his voice accusatory. I frowned. What was he saying? I didn’t understand.

“I don’t understand you,” I said slowly. “We’re being watched. I mean you are the one who put men outside to watch over us aren’t you?”

“I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the person that Jenny saw watching her,” he answered.

“What person? There was no one watching us. Jenny never told me such,” I told him, shaking my head. “She was probably joking.”

“This is a joke?” Jacob asked as he began typing something on his phone and then a voice was playing. It was Jenny’s voice.

“There’s someone watching me. There’s someone watching me here and—and I’m scared. Please get back to me the moment you get this please. I’m scared. They’re coming for me.”

I went cold all over, my body paling.

“When did she send this?” I demanded, raising a brow at them.

“I received it yesterday,” he answered.

I turned around and marched in the stairs, a scowl taking over my face second by second as I made my way to Jenny’s room. She had told me that she was sick and she didn’t want to go to school today and I had offered to stay with her.

Was this the reason why she said she was sick? Did she lie to me?

“Jenny what the hell?” I demanded, pushing the door open aggressively.

She sat up on her bed slowly, her face looking dull.

“What do you mean?” She asked, her eyebrows shooting up in confusion.

“What do I mean?” I repeated and scoffed. “You couldn’t tell me that someone was stalking you but you could tell Jacob? The same Jacob you claim to hate? What the fuck?!”

“Sophia calm down…”

“You trust a person you hate to keep you safe but not me?” I continued and shook my head in disappointment. “I expected more from you. What the hell? Is that why you told me you didn’t want to go to school today? You lied that you were sick just because you didn’t trust me to keep you safe?”

“When we get to school, we go our separate ways. How would you have kept me safe?” She shot back.

“I’d have found a way if you had told me the truth, for fuck’s sake! Stop trying to defend yourself! You are in the wrong and you think…you think what you’re saying now makes sense?” I demanded. “Why didn’t you tell me? You thought I couldn’t keep you safe?!”

“No I…I didn’t want to scare you,” she murmured, her voice shaking. “I didn’t want you to get agitated or panic.”

“What the-“

“Sophia that’s enough,” Ian said, coming in. He stood in front of me, blocking my vision of Jenny. He raised my chin so I was looking into his eyes.
