Finding Happiness

Chapter 13: Saved

August
Sean and I looked at each other before walking into the house. We were on high alert, we heard a bang then a female scream coming from upstairs, it was hard to tell who it was but, it was clear it was either Jada or Lani.

We heard a loud bang downstairs Sean and I exchanged looks before rushing into the basement with the rest of the guys. Chris was pissed off just as much as I was, if not more.

We came to a door and of course it  was locked. Sean pressed his ear to the door to see if he could hear what was going on, on the other side of the door.

"YOU STUPID BITCH I TOLD YOU NOT TO BITE ME!" A deep male voice yelled angrily.

"Leave me alone you psycho!" Jada yelled back.

I could hear quick footsteps running towards the door. Sean quietly unlocked the door and we crept in and looked around.

We crept towards the sound of bumping around, Jada was handcuffed to table with her pants pulled down. She was facing the door but she was more focused on trying to break free instead of the door.

I bust into the room and sent 3 bullets in his head. He fell onto the floor and I helped Jada get the cuffs off. She pulled the sweatpants back up and walked out the door without saying anything

We found Jada's Nike Slides and she slipped them on, we went upstairs and Lani was standing there looking down at the floor. Lani reached out to touch Jada causing her to look at her.

Jada pulled Lani into a hug and they stayed like that for the longest.

"I'm sorry." Jada whispered to Lani as she combed through her hair with her fingers.

"This isn't your fault." Lani whispered back, she then looked at Chris.

Jada tried to pull away but, Lani wouldn't let her go. It was clear that both girls had been through a lot.

"We should probably get going." Sean said clearing his throat in an attempt to break the silence.

Instead, he made it even more awkward. I sighed heavily as we started walking back towards the cabin.

When we got inside Jada and Lani sat in front of the unlit fireplace. The huddled close together and Lani laid her head on Jada's shoulder.

Chris wrapped a blanket around them and Sean lit the fireplace. Most of the guys went to get the cars ready, except Chris and I. We both stood there in silence as the girls just stared into the fire in silence.

When the cars were ready, the girls stood up and started walking towards the car.

Omniscient
Lani, Jada, Chris, and August got in the car together and started driving towards South Carolina so they could get their stuff and the kids.

Lani sat in the backseat with Chris, it was awkward since Lani didn't want to talk to anyone except Jada. Lani stared out the window, ignoring Chris's attempts  to comfort her.

Jada on the other hand was in the front seat with August, he kept his eyes on the road but, she could tell that he was looking at her out the corner of his eye.

"August?" Jada spoke loud enough for only August to hear.

"Yeah, wassup?" He replied.
