Show Me Love (The Wanted)

Chapter Seven

~

☆Jordyn's POV☆

~

I felt really bad about my mini break-down the other day. Usually around my 'family' I didn't need to worry about anyone trying to help, so I guess I didn't exactly know how to react. All I know is that I had about four tutors before who could never teach me anything. Three of them even specialized in teaching dyslexics. I was told, however, that my dyslexia was much more severe than average.

"Jordyn, we're here, darling." Siva said, pulling out my earplugs. I had been so lost in my thoughts and the world was drowned out buy my music that I hadn't even realized the plane had landed.

Yes, I said plane.

I jumped out of my seat on excitement. We were really in Los Angeles. This was one of my earlier homes. Phoenix would always be my real home, but I had always loved L.A. as well.

"Yay! We're here!" I smiled, jumping to try and get my bag from the top shelf. I jumped helplessly like a two-year-old. I heard chuckling from behind me as Tom reached above me and pulled down my carry-on with ease. "Stupid tall people." I muttered.

"Actually, you're just short." Tom pointed out as we walked off of the plane to meet the others.

"Hey, I didn't choose my height." I defended.

"Alright, true, sorry. How about I make it up to you by taking you out to dinner tonight?" Tom asked slyly. I stopped in my tracks.

"A-are you asking me... like to go on a date with you?" I asked in shock. His face reddened.

"I mean, not if you don't... I was just... I mean- uh- I... nevermind!" He stuttered, quickly walking over to the others.

"Come on, Jordyn. Stay close so we don't lose you in the crowd." Jay told me as I jogged to catch up with them.

My mind was spinning.

Did I just reject a date with Tom Parker?

I didn't even say 'no'! I was too shocked to answer!

Ugh.

"This hotel room is amazing!" We all marveled. It was a huge suite; four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, room service, a big balcony, amazing view, and everything looked so fresh and fancy.

"I'm sharing a room with you, right, Nath?" I asked. He nodded.

"Since there are only four bedrooms and Jordyn and Nathan are sharing, that means someone will have to sleep on the couch." Max said.

"Not it!" Everyone shouted at once. I laughed as they all yelled at each other over who should sleep on the couch.

"Come on, while these idiots are fighting we get to pick the best room." Nathan smiled, pulling me upstairs.

We ended up picking the second biggest room because it had the best view and two twin beds. I set my things down.

"I'm just gonna freshen up. I've got a bit of jetlag from the plane ride." I told Nathan. He nodded and left the room to give me privacy.

As soon as I was sure he was out of hearing distance, I pulled out my phone to see four messages from that number. I opened one, shaking in fear. I knew what these men were capable of; and now I was in Los Angeles, where they originated. No doubt some snitch would blow my cover and they would hurt anyone I was seen with.

'We know that you've come home, babe. Maybe we'll come give you a visit.'

'The famous L.A.X. hotel... Wonderful choice. From the seventeenth floor you must have a great view.'

'Only staying for three nights? Was wishing you'd stay longer.'

'That boy with the fringe and brown hair seems lovely...'

I read them over and over to make sure I was reading them correctly. Then, I closed my eyes and sighed in frustration.

No, they couldn't hurt any of the boys. I wouldn't let them.

But what was I supposed to do? If I agreed to meet them, they would surely kidnap me or rape me and kill me. It would cause too much drama, especially with me being related to a celebrity. The story would go viral.

That was the last thing I needed.

I had to make sure I protected everyone, but how?

If any of them got hurt I would never be able to forgive myself. I selected 'send message' on my phone and copied the blocked number to the recipient.

'I will meet with you in a public place for a formal conversation at ten o'clock at the diner at the corner of eighth avenue.'
