"No! No! No" Rose mumbled quickly to herself as she stared through the window. I walked to them and peeked as well.
Fuck No.
"Why the hell did he come back?" I asked with clenched jaws as I watched Jace walking up his alley. We need to think and fast.
"Guys! What's the problem?" Athena asked. I knew that she was panicking. Who wouldn't?
"Sweetheart, listen to me" I said softly so that she wouldn't panic more. "Jace is coming back, so keep quiet" I said.
"Jace has a drawer in his room in which he keeps his keys!" Rose whispered yelled and ran towards a room in a end of the corridor.
"He talking on the phone" Dean said, continuing to peek through the window. "What are we going to do if he gets in?" he asked. I clenched my jaws and rested my head against the door of the room in which my Athena was.
"Guys, go away" Athena whispered loud enough for us to hear.
"The cops are on their way" I told her, hoping that this will calm her down. I failed to protect her. Disappointment filled in my heart. "I'll get you out of here" I promised. I heard steps, running in our way. Rose quickly pushed me away from the door. She started trying different keys.
"He's coming!" Dean said in a hurry. For the second time of my life, I saw Dean that scared. The first time was when his girlfriend walked on him cheating.
"Please be you" she begged whenever she'd try a key.
Click.
"Yes" Rose breathed in relief and pushed open the door. She walked in and then I did. My eyes fell on Athena. The first thing I saw was the dark blue spot on her face and her teary eyes. I wrapped my arms around her while she sobbed. Dean walked in the room, looking scared as fuck.
Not so manly, little brother?
"Lock the door and keep quiet" Dean ordered as he closed the door slowly. "Avoid walking and don't make a noise. He must not know we're here" he locked the door as I tightened my arms around Athena. We could hear the clacking of the front door, signaling that he was in. Dean took out his phone.
"What are you doing?" Rose asked.
"Trying to know where the fuck are the cops" he said with gritted teeth. "Alena" he said through the phone. "Where the fuck are the cops?" he snapped.
He could have simply called the cops. Athena seemed relied that we were with her.
"They're coming!" Alena said through the phone.
"And so is fucking Jace!" Dean whispered yell in the phone before ending the call. We could hear the television playing downstairs. I stared down at Athena and pecked her forehead.
He's not fucking touching her again.
No fucking way.
"What are we going to do?" Athena asked as she lifted her head to look at me. I smiled reassuringly.
"We'll find a way out" I said.
"What are we going to do if he comes up?" Rose asked.
"He'll definitely come up" Dean mumbled from the other corner of the room. He was inspecting the room, trying to find a way to get out.
"We'll have to block the door" Rose whispered. I nodded in agreement and unwrapped my arms from around Athena. I helped Dean to lift a drawer and we placed it in front of the door. The television soon turned off.
"He's coming upstairs" Athena told us. Dean motioned up so shut up. We did. We heard him walking upstairs.
"Athena?" Jace called slowly as he stood in front of the door.
"Let me out of here, Jace" Athena begged and faked sobbed so that he wouldn't doubt that we were in here.
"I did all that for you, Love" Jace sighed. I clenched my jaws. "Wait, I'll open the door" With that, he walked away. Rose's eyes widened.
"He's going to notice that the keys are missing" she whispered. And a few seconds later, Jace walked quickly back to the door. He tried to open the door. He tried several times.
"What's wrong?" Athena asked, faking panic.
"I lost the keys or I left them at work" Jace said. Rose and Dean breathed in relief.
"So you're telling me that you fucking lost the keys and I'm locked in here?" Athena yelled. Oh darn. She could be a perfect actress.
"I'm so sorry! I'm going to break down the door" Jace said and tried to push on the door. Suddenly, he stopped. We all knew why.
We could hear the siren of the cops.
"Fuck!" Jace swore as he took a step away from the door.
"What" Athena asked.
"Those fuckers called the cops! I told them not to!" Jace growled then we all flinched when he punched the wall. "Do me a favor" he then said, sounding calmer. "Be quiet. I'm going to talk to them" he said. Athena nodded. Did she know that Jace couldn't see her? "Did you hear me?" Jace asked with urged.
"Yes" Athena whispered loud enough for him to hear. When we heard his foot steps retreating, we all sighed in relief.
"We need to get out of here before he convince the cops to go away" Dean said as he walked to the door. I helped him to move the drawer away from the door. Rose quickly ran to it and unlocked it. As if she was deprived of oxygen before, Athena took a deep breath.
"It feels good to have this door open" she mumbled. We all walked out slowly, looking from left to right.
"We need to get to the window" Dean whispered, motioning to the window which gave the view of the alley and the road. We nodded and tiptoed to the window.
"Shit" Rose said as she looked through the window.
"What?" Athena asked in a slightly high tone.
"The police men are leaving" Rose breathed in despair.
