Fight Together (Sequel To Neighbor Next Door) Jace Norman

Chapter 8

Jaces P.O.V

I hear a knock on the door. I wonder who its is. Its probably Charlotte shes been at the mall for atleast 2 hours. How much shopping can you do?

I like a girl who doesnt live to shop, I like the type of girls who want a lot of a attention and get out every so often. I think those girls are cute.

I open the door and am shocked by what I see.

But not surprised.

Ruth and Fiona are at my door. Crying their eyes out. And Fo's body has blood smeared all over it. "Come in." I say softly.

Fo stops and falls into my arms, sobbing in my chest. I pucker my lips slightly and stroke her hair. I kiss her forehead and say--"It's okay." She sobs in my chest again.

Just then I hear someone approach the door. I turn my head to see who it is.

Charlotte.

She looks at me with worried eyes. "Whats going on?" Fiona imeadiantly jumps from my chest. I look back at Charlotte and shrug.

"I dont know!" I mouth. She sets down the 10 billion bags of clothes she has and directs Fiona to the couch. I stare outside for a second, then shut the door.

I walk over to the couch and take a seat. Fo and Ruth sit in the love seat together. Fo looks down.

Tears fall from her eyes to her lap. "Fiona..." My voice booms in the quiet room. "What happened?" She sniffles and looks up.

Her eyes are red as well as her cheeks. "Zac." Her voice cracks. I become alert. My eyes grow wide. "Zac what?!" I say alarmed.

I swear if he put a finger on Fiona and Ruth ...

"He came to our apartment and attacked us." I bite my lip out of anger. "What did he do."

Ruth jumps in. "It was all Fiona. She was a hero! She hid me in an air vent and fought against Zac!" Fiona wipes her nose.

"I almost killed him...." She says so softly I can barely hear her. But I do. "Fo." She doesnt budge. "Fiona, what did you do?"

I say in a calming voice. "I fighting him then I stabbed him, twice." She paused. "One in the side in the other in his chest....I don't even know if he's alive."

She said ashamed. Not looking anyone in the eye. "You did what you could to protect yourself...did he do anything else?"

I ask. She looks up into my eyes. Her green eyes mesmerizing me. "He was going to rape me." I paused angry not knowing what to say. "Fiona, come with me."

I stand up. She looks up at me with confused eyes. "C'mon." I whisper. I hold my hand out. She stands up and take my hand.

I lead her up the staries hand in hand. This reminds me of the time of when me and Fiona were 15. She was Jennifer then...

Flashback

"this is....some room..." She shrugged. I half smiled.We took a left AGAIN "and this is our kitchen." "Do you have a basement?" I said overtalking her.

"Yes." We walked to the door in her kitchen leading to the basement. I opened the door. "Those staries of kinda dangerous though they could break." I took her hand and held it and started walking down the staries.

Flashback over

Im too pissed off to smile at the memory. I lead her to me and Charlottes bedroom. "You can take a seat on me and Chars bed."

She does so and I walk over to Charlottes closet. "What are you doing?" She questions. "Im getting you fresh clothes."

She pauses. "You dont have to do that." She says. "Look, you have blood all over you, the least I can do is give you clean clothes and let you shower." I say nicely.

I turn back around and look through Charlottes closet. "Thank you." She says quietly. "No problem Jennifer." "Its Fiona." I pause. "Right sorry I forgot."

I grab a gray and white sweater, gray knee socks, and black shorts. "Here ya go." She takes the clothes from my hands. "Thanks." I nod. "Follow me." She gets up and follows me to the bathroom.

I grab a towel and hand it to her. "Everything else you need is in the shower." Tears swell up in her eyes. "Thank you so much Jace." I slightly smile. I lick my lips. I hug her and walk out.

30 minutes later Fiona walks down the staires. She stops at the bottom of the staires and looks at everyone. I look at her outfit to see if it fits well. The sweater comes halfway down her thighs and it makes her look like she not wearing anything underneath. Her rainbow hair is wet and hangs a little bit past her hip bones. It makes me realize how long her hair is.

"Are you okay with your outfit, is it comfortable?" I ask. She nods. "Yeah, its fine." She looks at Ruth that makes me look at Ruth.

Ruth looks at her and raises her eyebrows twice. I look at Fiona and Fiona is giving her the death stare then I look at Charlotte and she has been staring at me the whole time.

I look back at Fiona and Fiona looks at me. She bites her lip. My heart pounds faster and stomach starts to tingle.

She knows what that does to me.

"You wanna watch something on Netflix?"
