The Badboy and his Family

Chapter Ten

Jace's POV:

I am literally thrown into a room with Jake and Noah. "I'll deal with you two later, when my partners in crime get here because I have to get ready for a date with a very lucky Lexi." Troy smirks. "Lexi?" I whisper to myself but apparently he heard. "Yup, you hear that ladies?! Get yourselves ready for another friend!" He yells loudly. Several more gasps erupt around this dark tunnel. Troy turns to leave. "Wait." I say, stopping him from walking any further. "What's her last name?" I ask, gritting my teeth. "I think it was Ryder or something like that." Troy replies with a knowing grin. Now it was my turn to gasp. "You better not touch my sister!" I yell, passing Noah over to Jake and throwing a punch to his jaw. "Sister, huh?" Troy asks with an evil glint in his eyes. "Is your sister's best friend called Amelia by any chance?" Troy asks, his smirk widens. "What do you want?" I grit out. "Oh! My gosh! You love her best friend, dont you, Jace?" Troy asks. "How do you know my name?" I ask, my eyes widening in shock. He laughs loudly before looking at me seriously. "Puh-lease, do you really think I wouldn't know Amleia's parent's story if I broke them out of jail so we could become a team?" He asks. "I was ordered to trap you, Jake, Lexi, your kids, and Amelia." Troy explains, still smirking.

"Touch them and I swear I'll kill you!" I yell, lunging toward him. His eyes widen for a fraction of a second out of fear before they return to the usual size as he slowly backs away towards the door. "Too bad you're stuck in here." Troy says as he closes the door. "Ugh!" I yell, making my voice echo around this dark tunnel. "Y-your family is coming here?" Jazmine asks quietly. "Yes, but the worst bit is Amelia is actually nine months pregnant with our fourth baby." I say, a silent tear rolling down my cheek, if he even thinks about touching her, he's dead.

"Jace." Jake says, yet I choose to ignore him once again. "Look, I know you're mad at me because I hurt everyone I've ever loved and that what I did was selfish but I know what we can do while we're in here." Jake says urgently. "What?" I snap quite harshly. "He never took our phones." He says. "We were pushed into a creek remember?" I snap once again. "I had a feeling this would happen so I put my phone in a water resistant bad and put it in my pocket." Jake says smugly. "We need to call the police." I order, jumping into action. Jake listens and is quickly pulling out his phone. Suddenly Jake freezes. "What?" I ask worried. "I know him." He states. Just as I was about to ask how, he started talking again. "I dont remember how, but I recognise him from when I was still hurting Amelia." He says. Oh god.

I think I hear sirens Jace." Jake whispers after about an hour of playing naughts and crosses with the dirt, which, I won of course. We quickly scramble to our feet, dusting off our clothes.
