-Chapter twenty-two-

I knocked three times and waited. It slowly opened and a sleepy face peered out of the little crack. He opened the door all he way and looked at me questionably. "I need to talk to you." He nodded and came out of his room to go downstairs to the kitchen.

I put on some water to make hot chocolate. Kian got out the hot chocolate powder and sat down. "I had a dream tonight that I need to tell someone."

"What happened? Because the last time you had a dream you didn't want to talk to me about it."

"Kian, please I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I need advice on this."

"I'm sorry." He grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

"Kian, I think I'm falling for Jc." He didn't look shocked like I thought he would be.

"Well. Why?"

"I had a dream about kissing him and yesterday we almost did kiss. And I know I shouldn't, but I like the thought of being near him or with him. I want to be with him. I don't know what it means."

"It means you have a crush on him. I had a crush on Andrea before I asked her to be my girl."

"But Kian. He's not just a boy he's a man that is also my owner. I'm not a woman I'm a girl that was forced by our government to become a servant and is now owned. We may all sit here like we are roommates telling stories and playing games, but fact is I'm a servant that is not supposed to even think about liking anyone of you."

"But you can't help what you feel, Aria. Tell Jc."

"What?"

"You should tell Jc that you have feelings for him. Cause I know how he feels if you keep it a secret."

"But Kian I....."

"No buts if you don't tell him I will. Now go." He pointed to the stairs.

"It's 2:30 in the morning I'm not waking him up right now to tell him."

"You woke me up."

I know he was trying to make me do the right thing, but Kian was just being an ass this morning. And I couldn't help but feel that he wasn't telling me something. And that makes me curious.

Kian shut off the water putting it on a cool burner and putting the chocolate powder away. We didn't have a drop if it. He walked me up the stairs and to Jc's door. He knocked three times and went to his room. I looked at him and he made a go signal with his hands. So I turned the knob.

"Jc?" I walked inside and looked at the bed.

All the boys have a night light in their bathroom just in case they need to go in the night they don't hit anything on their way in. So with the door open to the bathroom you can see to about the bottom half of the bed with a very fine light.

He was sleeping so nicely. "I just don't know what to do." I walked to the side of his bed and sat down on my knees on the cool floor. I talked in whispers. "I don't want you to wake. I want to tell you I think I love you. I didn't want to tell you. Actually Kian made me come in here. I'm kind of glad your not awake. I loved our little incident yesterday, but I won't tell anyone else. Kian won't say anything I know he won't. And I hope you know I would have given my life to make sure that the wolf wouldn't have touched you. And I'm sorry." He didn't respond to anything. He just kept sleeping or to what I could see. I smiled and kissed his forehead. I got up too quickly and became light headed and reached for the head board. Instead I actually fell onto the little space Jc left before the bed cut off.

I had my entire right torso on the bed. He didn't move and I didn't think he actually knew I was there, until he brought his left arm around and grabbed me. I went stiff thinking he was still asleep. "I think I love you." He said it in my ear and snuggled me close. "Your freezing get under the covers." He lifted the sheets up and I just looked at him. "I'm wearing shorts! And I heard what you said so get in here!" I didn't really volunteer to get under them, but he put his arm around my waist and pulled me under them and as close as possible to him. It was nice. He was so warm.

I had my back to his chest and his left arm was around my stomach. Well until he grabbed my right side and made me roll around to face him. I could barely see the shape of his face without my glasses. But he found my forehead and kissed it ever so slightly. Then I was pulled to his chest. My head on his bare chest with my right hand on his shoulder. And he was right I was cold compared to him. And soon he fell back to sleep. I smiled at his light breathing and drifted into sleep.

********

I woke up still in his arms, but with my back to him and his left hand actually under my shirt on my stomach. Moving his arm was easy getting out of the bed without him knowing was the tricky part. I made it out of the bed, but the floor creaked and he was instantly wake. He looked at me and gave me a sour look.

"Are you trying to sneak out?" And he got up off the bed. He put his arms around me holding me tight. I kissed his cheek and he let me go.

I ran out of the room and do the hall to my room. It was about 9:05 and since the boys don't really care about getting breakfast at 7:00 in the morning everyday so we don't really set much of an alarm anymore. But I thought since my day was looking bright why not cook everyone breakfast.

I headed downstairs in my pjs to figure out what I could make. I thought waffles sounded fun with a fruit salad. It doesn't take long to make them and it wouldn't be too long until everyone was up if they weren't yet.

********

After breakfast, Andrea and I went for a walk on the path out back. We talked about that night two months ago. Then I asked her about her and Kian and she lit up. She talked about him in a way that you could tell she really cared about him.

As we walked back I actually told her today was my birthday and I was now 17 years old as of an hour ago. We didn't talk much and neither of us really knew much about the other. So I thought I would start.

After about an hour in the cool air we opened the door to the house. It smelled like cinnamon which was kind of weird. We walked into the dinning room and I was jumped by Ricky and Connor yelling happy birthday at me. I didn't actually know that any of them had known about it. I never really told anyone the day and I didn't talk about it with others.

After Ricky and Connor backed off I got hugs from everyone. Jc didn't tell them about last night so no one knew what was between us. Kian made me a pie because I don't like icing for cake. And I loved the cards the girls gave me. Sam and Trevor gave me a beanie and Ricky and Connor got me some new vans. Ricardo got me a cd and Jc gave me a necklace he made from wire. I loved all of it.

The men really aren't able to go out and get things for women. They don't sell women's jewelry anymore and you have to order shoes for them, but they probably lied about my age so they could get me a nice pair. If they know your you get you get nicer stuff. Yea I know weird.

So Kian cut us all a piece of pie and as we started to eat it someone knocked on the front door. Ricky got up and went to see who it was. We were all quiet and just listened. Suddenly the house was filled with men working for the military. One brought Ricky into the room with his arm around his neck and a gun to his temple. Every guard grabbed a different person in the same hold.

Then they all made way for the general I guess. I looked over and I saw the eyes that haunted my dreams. I just hoped he didn't notice it was me. Since he was gone I have lost weight and got glasses. Jc saw the stress in my face and knew it was bad.

"Justin Caylen, Richard Dillion, Kian Lawely, Connor Franta, and Ricardo Ordieres you are hear convicted with improper slave keeping and planning against the government. Sam Pottorff and Trevor Moran you are here charged with contributing with the enemy."

All of us girls looked at each other in question. I was wide eyed and just looked at Jc. He turned his head in shame. But it was more like shame that he got caught. In our eyes they hadn't done anything wrong, but that just wasn't the way now.

They started to walk us out of the house. They put the boys in one SUV and Andrea and I fought to get to Kian and Jc. But as we tried HE walked up to us and smacked our cheeks. I didn't look at him. I hated what he had done to me. But that's when he realized it was me. I looked at Jc through the open door and he met my eyes. The man grabbed my chin and made my face face him, but I kept my eyes on Jc. "We meet again. She's coming with me, boys!"

I cringed a little and I saw the hatred in Jc's eyes. HE grabbed my arms that had been put in handcuffs while we were outside and tried to lead me to a black car. But I got away and ran to Jc. The door was closed now but I knew he could see and hear me. I looked at him. "I love..." Then there was a hand over my mouth and I was thrown away from the SUV.
