My Little Fighter

Chapter 3

AMELIA
I snapped my head back to see who said that and my eyes widened so much I thought they would pop out of place.

The idea of Jace Falls proposing a ride to my brother seemed unreal. Too good to be true.

"Why is he doing this?" I thought trying to come with a good explanation.

I instantly connected the dots, and came to the conclusion that he is doing this just to get back at me.

He was going to harm my little brother because of me. There was no way I would let that happen.

Over my dead body.

"NO!" I screamed, making all the people in the room turn in my direction.

"I mean it's fine, I can just ask someone else."

Truth is, I had no one to ask to, as my attitude and posture was intimidating the girls, and I completely avoided boys like the plague, I only had Hannah, she has been here ever since the very beginning, but she told me she had an emergency to attend to today.

"How nice of you to propose Mr. Falls. I'm sure your friend here would greatly appreciate it." the teacher said with a proud look on his face.

"No no really it's fi-" "I insist Amelia, I will make sure he makes it home safely." Jace interrupted with an innocent smile on his face.

Innocent my ass. He enjoys seeing me stuck in this situation.

Knowing I lost this fight, I agreed reluctantly, a sensation of unease settling in my stomach. I would never forgive myself if anything were to happen to Luke.

A satisfactory expression appeared on Jace's face and I shuddered at the idea of him harming the only family I have left.

Once he took a last glance at me and he saw my worried expression, it's almost as if hurt flashed in his eyes.
Could it be?

No I must be hallucinating, he doesn't care about me, he just wants some sort of revenge and then it's all going to be done with.

He then started walking away to his car and that's also when my detention started.

After the hour of me thinking about Luke and his safety passed excruciatingly slow,  I couldn't wait to go home and apologize a hundred time to him.

I am the worst sister anyone could ever ask for. How could I be so irresponsible and stupid to do this.

I felt my stomach growling in hunger during my time in the classroom but I won't be satisfying it's needs. I don't deserve to eat. I'll instead buy Luke a new toy with the money.

I immediately dashed to the appartement riding on my bike like a crazy woman, almost killing myself several times among the way.

During the short ride I was thinking about the worst scenarios in my head, but in some weird corner of my brain I was kind of hoping to see Jace taking care of Luke at home.

Wait. WHAT?! NO what the fuck is wrong with me?!

I hate this arrogant jerk. Why would I want him to be here with my brother?!

As I quickly unlocked the door, I saw my little energy ball run towards me, able to only hug my waist.

"Where were you Amy? There was some cool guy who came and picked me up but I missed you." He mumbled while still hugging me making my heart melt.

"I'm sorry baby but I had to take care of something really important at school." I was his role model according to him. I don't see myself as one tho.

Anyway, he looks up to me for some weird reason and I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I'm a fuck up who can't even avoid detention.

He doesn't even know i take part in underground fighting and I don't intend him to.

I want to enjoy the impression of being "perfect" in front of him as much as possible.

As long as he is safe and happy then i am too. He is everything to me. He is the only reason I wake up in the morning, except Hannah.

After checking him and making sure everything was in perfect order, I made only a plate of his favorite, chicken nuggets and ketchup to him, assuring him that I wasn't hungry, which was the biggest lie of the day.

Once he was in bed and sound asleep, I placed back his favorite book on the shelf and went to my room to start on some homework and train a bit for my fight tomorrow night.

I hate leaving Luke alone in the middle of the night, especially in this neighborhood, but I didn't really have a choice.

At almost three in the morning, I realized it was time to stop and go to sleep for the few hours I had left but I couldn't stop myself thinking about what Jace did.

It warmed my heart that he took him home, and Luke seemed to like him a lot since he kept on telling me what they were talking about during the ride.

Maybe there was a side of Jace that I didn't know?

No, he is too dangerous for that. I saw what he is capable of numerous times but I could be wrong, and maybe there is something more to that.

That's when sleep totally consumed me
