Forever and Always

Ch. 21 Race Wars

I woke up with two arms crossed over my waist. "What the... Guys get off. I'm not a pillow!"

I pushed at both arms holding me down. Tyler laughed and James hugged me tighter.

"Do you feel better? I would hate to leave you alone if you dont." James whispered in my ear.

"James! Go away I'm fine now. Tyler get off! I'm going to die if I don't eat something!"

Tyler jumped up. "Can't have that! Come on James let's go tell Cindy and Roxy she's hungry."

James planted a kiss on my cheek before rolling off my bed and following his brother out of my room. I could hear Tommy giggling in the hall.

"Tommy! I know your out there come on in and tell me what's so funny!" I smiled at his dirty face when he peeked around the wall at me.

His dirt stained cheeks dimpled. "The twins like you too." He frowned. "You didnt give them our movie night did you?"

"No. That's just for us." His eyes brightened and I patted the bed beside me. "Let's have a movie night tonight kiddo. Just me and you."

He jumped on the bed and wrapped his arms around my neck. "We can watch a girly movie! I don't care. I just want our movie night back. You owe me two nights already!"

I ruffled his hair. Dirt flew everywhere and I could literally smell the trees. "Well let's see." I tapped my chin and rolled my eyes. "How about we watch all the seasons of Full Metal Alchemists."

"The cartoon or the movie?" He blinks confused.

"Tommy, you have a lot to learn. Anime is in no way a cartoon, and yes it's the anime series. Duh!" I hugged him, like a teddy bear. "You have to get a bath first or we won't be watching anything. List of things; bath, go eat, and movies! I'll go tell Roxy to get our snacks ready!"

Tommy laughed and pulled me with him off the bed and out the door. "I already told her about the snacks! I'll go get a bath, William is waiting for you."

I paled mentally, but kept my cool trying to keep Tommy happy. "You planned on me saying yes didn't you?" I said with a laugh. The little squirt was smart.

Doors slammed outside and I pulled Tommy to a stop close to the main entrance. I heard William's voice and my heart stopped. Why is he out walking around now?

"Leave your truck here and I'll go get the keys to the skyline R34." William said over his shoulder, as he walked in the door.

Lance's voice sounded harsh as he repiled. "Thanks man."

William glanced at me before heading up the stairs. I wonder what that was about? The look he gave me wasn't one that said I'll be waiting for you. It was more like you're going to do exactly what I say from now on.

"Hey Tommy?" I asked without looking at him. "You think you can go see if the food is ready? I'll be there in a sec."

Tommy let go of my hand and ran off. I walked out the front door and Lance frowned at me.

"Lance I'm..." he cut me off with his glare.

His voice was harsh and cold. "Stop. I don't care. Go back inside and leave me alone."

"But I just..." He raised his hand and shook his head.

He walked up to me with dark cold eyes. My heart raced and I could feel my legs start to shake.

His whispered growl broke my heart. "Jess. Stay away from me. You're nothing to me and never will be. You're just like all the other girls at school. You're easy." He pushed me back with a finger. "You're just a play thing! I was bored and wanted to see how far you would go." My heart shattered more when my back touched the door frame. "I'm done playing with you Jess. Don't ever talk to me again."
