Silent But Deadly// COMPLETED✔️

XV - "Jewels"

I've been paranoid all day, this whole week actually. Constantly checking over my shoulder for the familiar figure and the tattoos every time I turn down a hallway. My mind is playing tricks on me constantly, moments of deja Vu have been consistent throughout this week.

The fight still plays in my mind like it was just yesterday, the tattoos that were displayed across his body and the murderous look he had in his eyes. I just hope he didn't realize it was me, I can't risk that happening to our family again, to my mom and I.

After Kai had slept in my room, I've been avoiding the three of them as much as possible. It doesn't matter if Kai is the top gang leader, he will get his way on making me feel miserable. Maybe not physically, but emotionally. He will play with my feelings in the worst way possible and if I'm lucky, he won't use mom against me. I can't risk getting attached to those boys because he will find out that they're part of my weak spot, that if anything happens to them it'll hurt me. Kai and Blake still stay there but my mom is coming home soon so I think they'll be leaving soon. It would be good for them and for myself as well, I've just been staying at George's apartment to avoid any interaction with them.

You may think I'm putting George at risk here as well, but I've had Williams keep his complex highly guarded until he is gone. I really can't thank Williams enough, he really is a kind man and I'm more than grateful for having him in my life. I wouldn't be as built as I am today, so I thank him for giving me strength when I thought I didn't have any.

Now, I'm in my car on my way back home. Mom and Jared are back and they say that they have quite a surprise for me, I just hope it's a cute puppy, puppies are cool.

I park in the driveway instead of the usual garage for a change. I start to feel uneasy as I close my car door behind me and walk up the steps to the front door - my hand hovers over the handle and the anxiety gets stronger in my stomach. I shake it off and blame it on seeing my mom again after awhile, after all, she did leave for like two weeks.

"Mom!" I yelled once I was in the foyer.

"Kitchen!" She yelled back. Ugh, typical, always in the kitchen.

As I round the hallway and make my way into the kitchen, my body freezes at the sight in front of me. I feel like a deer in headlights as I look at the man before me, staring back at me with such a mischievous glint in his eyes. His figure towers over my mom who is standing right next to him with a warm smile on her face. How could she be happy to see him? How could she welcome him into our house?

"Sweetie, aren't you going to say hi?" I hear my mom mumble under her breath. I couldn't move, I only stared into those dark eyes I wished I would never come across again, not for a long time.

"Dia, are you okay?" I noticed in my peripheral vision now that Blake, Liam, and sadly, Kai were behind the kitchen island, watching as the tension builds up between us.

"Diamonds who is this?" Liam asked confusedly.

"This is her-"

I cut my mom off just as she was about to say the title he did not deserve, "He is not!" I yelled at her. She flinched back at my volume and held her head down. She knew how I felt about him, she knew how much hatred I have for him, how much I just want to punch his fucking lights out.

"Diamonds, calm down..." Jared said slowly while standing up from his chair. Staring at him all I could see was red, and he just stood there smirking at my anger. He was fucking enjoying my reaction! How dare he fucking-

"Diamonds, don't you miss me?" He asked cockily. My blood started to boil and I did the one thing no one expected to see at that moment; I fought him.
