*Chapter 30|Suspicion*

•Bianca's P.O.V

It's been two days since we've stayed in this house, we haven't been able to leave the building for our safety.

The day Chris' gang attacks is near, so is my father's death and I don't know why each day that draws me closer makes me feel nervous. It's not that I don't want to see him pay for what he did, but it's like the thought of loosing another person feels wrong to me. But the thought of having him pay for all the pain he put me through never felt so right.

Jasmine and I were in her room, laying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, "I miss Clara, Caleb and Shawn, even Zoe," Jasmine mutters. "I know they'll be fine, they're all well trained fighters, not dumb. Though, I can't help but hope they're okay."

"I'm sure they're okay, I just hope Antonio isn't still fooling them," I say.

"I'd be surprised if he's still alive by now," Jasmine says and I turn to her in shock.

"Huh?"

"Before you left we told Caleb everything, he's probably told the rest. I'm just hoping they were able to believe him and deal with Antonio," Jasmine says.

The room door opened and Blake popped his head into the room. "Blake! Can't you knock? We could have been naked for goodness sake," Jasmine glared.

Blake rolled his eyes, "you'd be naked and leave the door unlocked. I thought you were smarter than that dear Jasmine," he said with a smirk.

"Idiot," Jasmine mumbled and. looked away.

"The boss called, he's speaking to Asher right now. He wants to address some stuff," Blake says. Chris called?

"Stuff like what?" Jasmine asked.

"Entrance, exit, targets, stuff like that," Blake said.

We both nodded and went out of the room, to the living room. Asher soon joined us after he was done with the phone call and sat next to me as usual.

We all did the same old routine we had been doing for the past two days, watch a movie and fall asleep.

The same circle I felt would keep going till these two weeks are over.

_____________________________

I shot up from bed, my skin coated with a thin layer of sweat and my breathing heavy. I let out a shaky breath and slowly hoped off the bed before I looked at Asher.

He was sleeping on the other side of the bed, almost falling over. I couldn't help but chuckle at the small sound of snoring he was making.

I ran a hand through my longer hair and quietly walked out of the room then into the bathroom.

Even though I seem better than I did weeks ago, I'm really not. Everyone is a distraction, and a helpful one but little things still remain.

The nightmares, the thoughts, the memories, the insomia and the urges. They aren't as strong as they were and I'm thankful for that but their still there, but with time I know they'll diminish with their help and support.

I rinsed my face and looked into the mirror, my eyes were wide, as if in alert. I still couldn't take away the feeling of uncertainty in me.

Something just didn't feel right.

I dried my face with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. I walked back into the room and quietly checked the time.

05:00am

I decided to go back into the bathroom and brush my teeth since I wasn't sleeping anytime soon.

Why didn't I just brush it when I was there? I thought.

After I was done, I trudged my way to the living room. It was surprisingly quiet, I assumed everyone was still asleep.

When I walked in deep my eyes grew wide at what I saw, Jasmine was straddling Blake on the couch, both of them sucking each other's faces. To say I was shocked was an understatement.

After a few seconds I realised that watching them make out was a creepy move and I decided to quietly walk away, too bad my legs didn't have the same idea. I ended up tripping on my own feet and landing on the floor face flat, very loudly might I add.

At least their reaction was priceless, Blake reacted the most wierdly. He jumped off the sofa, resulting in Jasmine landing on the floor after letting out a short but loud scream.

Blake looked at me, his eyes wide and alert. I was still on the floor but now sitting as I watched them in amusement, Blake looked more like a deer caught in the headlights also with swollen lips and messed up hair.

"H - hey Bianca," he says, giving me a nervous wave.

"No, please. I didn't wish to bother you. Continue," I said with a laugh as I got on my feet.

"What's going on?" A new voice asked, Asher stood behind me with droopy eyes. To be honest he looked really adorable with his bed hair.

"Um, Bianca tripped," Jasmine said and I gave her look.

"Oh," Asher muttered turning to me, "are you okay?" He asked, his voice sounding tired.

I laughed, "yes, I'm fine," I turned to Blake and Jasmine who looked nervous out of their minds, I couldn't help but giggle at them. My giggle caught Asher's attention and he turned to them before letting out a sigh.

"You two kissed didn't you?"

We all looked shocked when Asher said this, how did he...

"How did you..." Jasmine trailed with a surprised look on her face.

"Trust me, this isn't the first time I'm seeing you two," Asher says with a shudder and I turned to Jasmine with wide eyes. How could she not tell me? "Now if you would excuse me, I'm off to get breakfast. Would you like pancakes Bianca?" He asked after walking past me.

I nodded and he walked into the kitchen. I turned to the two bandits and shook my head disappointedly.

"Of all the places it had to be on my favourite couch," my face scrunched up in disgust, "you disgust me," I say and walk into the kitchen.

They disgust me.
