Danger // J.N

Chapter 17

Anna's POV.

I sigh as I stare at the garage door of my house. I sit in the passenger side of Jace's car.

"Are you scared?"

"Yes."

"Of?"

I sigh. "My dads reaction. Maybe not even just him, but my mom too. I haven't seen them in the past three days," I say. He nods. He gently holds my hand. "You can do it, baby girl. You'll survive," He says. I smile. I lean in and kiss his lips. I put my hand on his shoulder. He gently cups my jaw.

I feel electric sparks in my veins, that go away when we end our kiss. I let out a deep breath. I look down at my bags. I pick them up and open the door.

"That very well possibly could've been our last kiss," I say. His eyes widen. "Because your dad will ground you and forbid you from seeing me?"

"Good guess. But no. The minute they see my piercings, or just me in general, there's gonna be a BRUTAL murder," I say. He snickers.

I climb out and close the door. I wave goodbye. Jace waves. I walk around the car. I take a deep breath as I walk up the steps. I open the screen door, and then open the front door.

I walk in and smell bacon.

Shit.

Sunday.

Dad always makes bacon and eggs for breakfast on Sunday.

He's home.

"Who just left?" My dad asks. He glances around the corner of the wall. I look up from taking off my shoes. His eyes widen.

"Savannah, I didn't know you were coming home today," He says.

"I told mom, last night," I answer. I gulp. I feel my stomach churn.

He nods. He turns and walks into the dining room. "Well, I just finished making breakfast. You hungry?" He asks.

I bite my lip. "Yeah, actually," I say. I drop my backpack and bag by the stairs.

"Breakfast!" My dad shouts.

"Anna!" Addy shouts, as she runs down the hall. I look up. Addy runs down the steps and hugs me. "Oh my god!"

"Gosh!" My dad shouts.

I roll my eyes. "Sorry," Addy says softly.

I smile. "Hi!" I say. "I missed you so much!" She says. "I missed you too," I say.

"Anna? You're back?!"

I look at Andrew as he runs up to me. Addy lets go of me. I turn to Andrew and he runs into me. He presses against my stomach, pushing the piercing against my belly button.

"Ow!" I scream. Andrew jumps back and lets go. Addy looks at me. "What?" He asks.

I hold my stomach. "Nothing. I just have a stomach ache and you kinda pushed my stomach," I say. "Oh, sorry," He says. He looks at my nose. His eyes widen.

"Woah, your nose!" He points.

This is where I start mentally saying my goodbyes.

"Yeah?"

Addy looks at it. She covers her mouth and gasps. "I love it!" She says.

"Love what?" My dad asks, from the table.

"Noth-"

"Anna's nose ring!"

My dads head jerks up. My heart drops.
