1 week later.

Eva.

"Alright lower your aim a little bit, that's it. Now fire." I shot the small hand gun at the target missing it completely, resulting in me stomping my foot like a child. "Don't worry you'll get it next time, reload." I huffed and glared at the stupid gun.

"This is useless we've been at it for half an hour and I still haven't even hit the damn thing." I complained as I reloaded the gun and got in the position to shoot. Although I didn't want to be apart of the gang, Jason is still encouraging me to train just in case worst comes to worst and I have to defend myself. For the past week he's been having me in the gym, lifting weights, running laps, aiming guns, and beating the shit out of the guys in the house. I wowed the guys when I successfully knocked out Gavin and Liam, the rest were too scared to have a go at me. I was doing great at everything besides shooting the stupid gun.

"Eva don't be negative, now aim." Jason was always demanding when I was training and I found it a turn on, but there was no way in hell I would tell him that. He came up behind me and got in his position holding my hands in place. He centred the gun and without warning he pressed his finger into mine causing me to pull the trigger. I watched the bullet fly through the air at top speed before it hit smack dab in the centre of the bullseye. "What the fuck? How did you do that?" I squinted my eyes at him trying to figure out his ways.

"Just takes focus, willpower, and optimism." He shrugged putting emphasis on the last word. I had to admit I was pretty negative about this whole situation. But who could blame me? I was tired, freezing and down right annoyed. The thin jacket was supposed to be thermal fit but the stupid thing was making me freeze half to
death.

"Whatever. Can we just give it a break for today? We've been at it all week and I'm tired." I begged giving Jason my best puppy dog eyes. He sighed and rolled his eyes.

"It's only been half an hour, but whatever. Only because you're cute." He grinned and I scrunched my nose up when he pecked it quickly. He grabbed my hand and lead me into the house.

"God you look like you're freezing. Here's some hot tea." Taylor greets us at the door with two mugs. I thank her quickly and grab the mug taking a sip. I squeal when it burns my tongue and I almost drop the mug.

"Damn it." I glare at the stain on my new coat.

"I'll bring that to the wash." Chloe offers and literally helps me take of the jacket.

"Why are you guys being so nice to me?" I eye them suspiciously and they just shrug.

"They're always like this. You're now living in this house so they treat you how they treat everyone else. Chloe always does the laundry, something about her being the only one who can make our clothes smell perfect. She's a neat freak. Taylor just makes great tea, hot chocolate, coffee you name it she can make it. Since she's the oldest girl she picked up on the motherly instincts. I don't know, we're a weird bunch." Jason explains in my ear and the girls smile sweetly before going back to doing whatever they were doing before we got back in.

I carry my tea into the family room and see Haley and Charlotte sitting there on their phones. "Hey guys!" I wave happily and all I get in return is hums as they continue to type away on their phones. "Teenagers." I sigh and walk over to the empty sofa, sitting down. Jason follows behind me, sitting beside me and pulling me into his side. I rest my head on his chest as he plays with my hair. I sip my tea contently while watching a really old show with Shailene Woodly in it. I think it was called The Secret Life Of The American Teenager. It's just where Amy (Shailene Woodly) gets pregnant at 15 and it's all dramatic.

Jason and I grew really close over the week. He explained to me that there were guys after me and that's why they had to leave on that mission last week. So because he's still nervous that these guys might find me he wants me by his side at all times. I don't mind at all though. I feel very protected when I'm with Jason.
