Zoe POV

"Where this bracelet at all times. It has a track in it so we know where you are at all times. As soon as you're finished get out of there."

"Jordan I know you told me this thousands of times." I lift my baby in the air making funny faces. I watch her smile time to time.

"Zoe please, stop playing with Zaya and pay attention!" Jordan scolds attempting to take her from my position.

"I heard you!"

Since our house burned down we had to stay in a hotel. I share a room with Jasmine and Jade while the guys share a room. It was hard for us to act like everything was fine. When wasn't fine.

I'm sick of being apart from them. I miss them.

I miss him.

"Really what I say?" He crosses his arms.

"Wear the tracker bracelet, once you're done leave." I mocked with my famous Jordan impression.

"I don't sound like that!"

"Ya kinda do." Jade shyly admits earning a glare from him.

"Jade!"

"Jordan!" She shouts back.

I roll my eyes as they continue to bicker; I look at Jasmine and she shakes her head. She makes her way over to me by the front door.

"Be careful okay?"

"I will." I hand Zaya over to her. She rests Zaya's head on her shoulder.

"Don't die okay?"

"Jasmine."

"I'm serious I can't loose you too."

"You're not gonna loose me. When have we ever come close to loosing each other?"

"Are you kidding?"

FlashBack

"Talk to me Zoe."

But I still remained silent.

"I had no choice... if I didn't-

"You could have told me! You knew my father was looking for him! And you knew he was after me! You betrayed me!" I yell through my gritted teeth. As I still felt the pain in my thigh.

"If it wasn't for me calling the cops the other day ... you would have been here sooner!"

~~~

"Jasmine."

"Jasmine! Is that all you can say to me? ANSWER ME!" She shouts clenching her hands into fists. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks.

The more she spoke the more angry I became. The more my breathing got heavy.

"No wait let me guess, he was trying to clean up a mess that you made... again."

"What are you getting at?" I say through my gritted teeth.

"Your reckless, irresponsible... your like a virus that affects everyone around you!" Her tears eventually stopped, and her fists began to form again. "Thanks to you he's dying!"

Shut up.

"When is it gonna sink in that these things happen because of you. Do you ever ask if I'm okay? Do you ask if I need anything...
