The country girl

Chapter 19

James and Harry lock eyes and the tension in the room rises as I back up into James squeezing his arm hoping he would look at me.

"Hi Harry." I say with a raspy voice choking down the lump in my throat.

"Oh yeah, hello Harry." James repeats tightening his glance and gripping onto my side.

I hear Grace give a chuckle and she walks up to Harry with the confidence of a queen.

"Why isn't this a treat." She glaces at James and back at Harry. "Hello Harry I am Grace." He takes her hand and greets her. With a smile he kisses it and grabs her around the waist. My heart paces faster as I try to think of what will happen next because the sly look on Graces face and the exchange look between her and Harry rasies my suspicion. 

"Okay guys lets continue this partayyyyyyyyyyyyy." Daphne says into the mic trying to get everyone distracted. She turns up the music and everyone quickly loses focus on us. James grabs me and we start walking towards the exit.

I feel a hand wrap around my arm and pull me back. "See you soon again Bay." Harry whispers into my ear leaving goosebumps on my arms as James gives him a glare and Harry slowly lets go. We walked to the car and the music bass felt like it was pumping through my body and all I can focus on is how Harry even had the courage to stand up to James in a sense. 

"Bay... Bay...." James shakes me. "Bay."

I snap out of my daze. "Ye- yes." 

"We are here Bay."

I look up and see we are placed outside of his home and he helps me get out of the car. He picks me up in his arms as he could tell I was not in the right mind set. I don't exactly focus as all I think about is what do they have planned. I hear the door handle jiggle, the creaks of the stairs and then I am placed onto James's bed and sit up automatically wrapping my arms around him.

"It is gonna be okay Bay, they aren't gonna do anything what could they possibly do?"

"You never know what Grace could be capable of."

James pulls me into his arms and lays me down as he cuddles me and my mind finally is at peace. James makes me so relaxed, I closed my eyes hoping to have a chance to sleep.

*The Next Morning*

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" 

I shoot straight up rubbing my eyes and seeing my cuddle buddy was missing from my side. I scan the room and see the alarm reads 9:55. 

"Ding."

I look over and see James phone has a new text from a F. I pick it up and unlock it reading the text as my heart felt like it has stopped.

Do you have her? We lost sight of her after the party Agent J. Make sure she stays in town they are closing down on her location, we might have to move her soon.

I drop his phone as I rub my temple trying to comprehend what I had just read. Just as I sit down on the bed James comes up with a smoothies in his hand.

"Hey Bay I thought you might want thi-"

"Agent J." I cut him off giving him a glare and I could see his pupils shrink in realization. 

He places the smoothie down on the nightstand and slowly sits down next to me. "Bay I promise I wanted to tell you I just didn't know how." He reaches for my hands but I scoot away from him.

"Are you apart of the FBI? Do you know about me and my father?" 

He looks at me and shakes his head yes. 

My jaw drops and I could feel the tears form in my eyes. "Do you even really like me? Or was I just part of your mission?"

He looks at me and my heart relaxes a bit because his look could always relax me. "At first you were a mission but I slowly fell in love with you. I truly do like you Bay." My mind becomes confused.

Did he just say love? He loves me...

"James... I- I don't know what to say...." 

"Ding."

James picks up his phone and sees another text and I scoot closer reading it.

Agent J they are here move out, get Agent R and move out. Base 23.

His face goes blank. "Bay we need to go now. I will explain more later."

I follow after him and we jump into his car speeding down the streets to my house and I see my mother waiting outside with suitcases and she was talking on the phone with someone important it seemed. She then gave a nod to james and threw her phone on the ground smashing it to pieces. 

"Hello Bay." She says getting into the car after slamming the trunk down and then we go back down the same road speeding and eventually it is all green and the road is barely a road anymore. 

"Mom what is happening..."

She rubs my arm and smiles. "Oh honey I am so sorry we never told you." She pulls out a photo and it is a photo of my father and a man that had a scar crossing his left eye. The meanest look on his face but still had a smile posing with my father like they were best friends.

"This is Fred, he is the man that supposedly killed your father."
