The Girl They Never Noticed

Chapter 26

My heart started beating like crazy.

What was anyone doing in my room.

I stood cemented to my place, trying to figure out who it was. I could tell there was movement inside because of the shadow the bedside lamp cast. I wanted to go and see for myself but I knew that being the clumsy thing that I am, I'd probably wake up a whole damn neighbourhood. I didn't want to wake up anyone because I didn't want to scare them; but I decided not to go alone.

"Pssst Jace!" I whispered, trying to shake him awake. He wouldn't budge.

"JACE!" I whispered, shaking him even more.

Nothing.

Groaning, I went to wake up CJ. He wouldn't even move a muscle. What the hell is wrong with them??

I looked at Jaycee. Nope. No. Nein. No. Not gonna happen. I am NOT going to wake him up.

Maybe I can go to the cops. Except I never really figured out where their rooms were. Dang it!

I think I'll just go to Sebastian since my phone charger died.

Do I go upstairs alone?

I decided to man up- or woman up -and go check it out myself. I stood at the end of the stairs, took a deep breath and took the first step.

Crrreeeaaakkk

I stopped in my tracks; hoping that whoever is there didn't hear anything. When nothing happened for what I assumed was a few minutes, I continued going up the stairs.

Each stair creaked lower than the one before which was sort of a relief. A few painful minutes later of slow crawling; I finally made it to the top of the stairs.

As I stood on the upper most step, I could see that Sebastian's room was wide open. An idea crossed my mind, one that would most probably get me killed. I shook it off because I'm that big of a coward.

I took a peak into my room and saw that whoever was there, was whispering incoherently in the bathroom, so I decided to slip behind the door and listen.

It was literally 3 seconds after I hid that they came out. I say they because there are 2 of them. They were both tall - about 6'1 - and both had black hoodies covering their eyes. Both were wearing army style pants, combat boots, and both had tasers and guns.

Who were these people and what on earth would they be doing here? They seem to me like people on a mission. I mean why else would they be armed? In a house full of minors too.

I completely stopped moving so that I wouldn't be discovered and killed. They then started talking.

"We got to the seniors, how hard can the juniors be?"

"I know! Besides, your brother gets to have his revenge on the girl who got him suspended from the team."

What?!

"Naa Bradley wouldn't hurt a girl. He has something even worse in store for her."

WHAT?! Jacobs is his....brother??

Wouldn't hurt a girl?! Has he met his brother before? The jerk had "Destroyer" stamped on his forehead!

"No way! What's he gonna do?"
