The Spy

Chapter 26

Jacob's POV

       It is currently 12 am and I am waiting for Haven to get back here from being with MY girl. I shouldn't have even let him go. He said I could go with him but I don't think he understands. I watched her break down in front of me. I saw her cry. I can't see people cry. It makes me angry. So I decided to give her space. I didn't message her, I didn't even go to her little welcome home party. I don't want her to see this weak side of me. 

    Getting bored I turned on my phone and went on snapchat. I don't have very many people on snap but the people who I have I don't talk to. Going through stories I stopped when it came to a certain persons. It was Kenna's story. The first image was her hugging Alex at the hospital. The next one was of them playing truth or dare, Alex had the biggest smile on her face. What made my blood boil was that she was next to Haven. 

    In the next image they were out by the pool. All of them were in the water but Alex and Haven were talking on the side. I glared at my phone and clicked onto the next photo. The next one made me beyond angry. 

    Alex was holding onto Haven with her leg and arms wrapped around him. I glared even harder down at my phone. One of his arms were around her waist while the other was on her thighs keeping her up. She is MINE. Why is he touching whats mine. 

    After sitting in my office for hours debating whether or not to break something I heard the door downstairs open. Walking around my desk I walked out of my office and down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I noticed the light from the kitchen on. Walking quietly I looked inside of the kitchen. Haven stood at he counter with a glass of water at him lips. I glared at him and walked into the room. 

     "Why were your hands all over Alex." I said through gritted teeth. I guess he didn't hear me come in because he jumped and dropped his glass on the ground. He looked over at me with a hand on his heart.

    "It is mean to scare people bro." Haven said crossing his arms leaning against the counter. I glared harder.

    "Why were your hands all over Alex and why are you back so late?" I questioned again. I looked over at the clock to see it was currently 3:24 am. He rolled his eyes.

     "Alex wanted to into the water and I was the strongest one there so I held her. Then she got tired and I brought her to her room. I got her clothes and left the room. While putting shorts on she fell and hit her head. I went into the room and rubbed her head like my mom taught me to do when I have a head ache. We lost track of time I guess." He said with a shrug. 

    "So you are telling me, you walked into her room when she had to pants on?" I said with a raised eyebrow. He rubbed the back of his neck before nodding. Instantly I had hum pushed up to the wall with my hands around his neck. 

    "She is mine. Keep your hands off of her." I basically growled out before dropping him to the ground. He gasped for air. As soon as his color went back to normal he glared up at me.

    "She isn't yours Jacob. She can have other friends that are boys. If you are worried that I like her chill out. I don't see her like that. She is like a sister to me. I could see her naked and still not see her differently." I glared when he brought up the fact of her being naked. 

    "Jacob you can't get attached to her. You need to find your sister and then you can drop Alex and move on." He said. I crossed my arms. I knew he was right. I need to not get attached but it is so hard when I see her constantly. 

     "If I do move on what about you. You can't be friends with her after I find Olive and I move on." I said. He nodded and looked down. 

     "I am still coming up with an excuse to distance myself from her. Jacob you and I both know that this wont be easy for either of us." He said quietly. He was right. Letting go of her will not be easy but it must be done. I can't just bring her into my life, she will get hurt. Someone might come along and try to take her just like they took Olive. 

    I would never forgive myself if Alex got taken because of me. I have never been this attracted to a girl before. I mean yes girls fall at my feet begging for me to love them but I never give them a second glance. Now Alex she's different. She is worth so much more than I can give her. I'm surprised she doesn't have boys begging her to talk to them. She is the sweetest and most beautiful girl I have met. 

    "We need to distance ourselves from her as soon as we can. Make our friendship only about business and nothing else. If she calls you, you ignore it. If she texts you, you ignore it. You will do nothing to talk to her do you hear me?" I said to Haven. He looked broken at my decision but nodded anyway. 

       "This isn't going to be easy." He said looking down. I nodded and looked everywhere but him. Alex doesn't deserve to be friends with people like us. We are murderers and she is just an innocent girl. 

    "I know." With that I walked out of the kitchen.
