"Welcome Home Soldier" A Jacob Seed X OC fanfic

Chapter Ten

ELLANAS POV

I arrived in falls end about an hour after I left the veterans center, Jacob didn't leave my thoughts once. 'I wonder what he was dreaming about' I thought about the way his face writhed in pain as he slept, I thought about the way his body glistened with sweat, and I thought about the way he asked me to stay 'he was so vulnerable'.

As I parked in front of the spread eagle, I noticed another truck outside the small bar, 'RYE AND SONS AVIATION' was written on the side, 'good, Nick's here. maybe now I can explain myself'.

I walked in, my eyes immediately scanning the room, eventually landing on Nick, who was sitting at the bar, enjoying a cold beer. I walked up to the bar and stood beside my friend "i'll have what he's having" i said, pointing my thumb at Nick.

"actually I was just leaving" Nick said, getting up from his stool. "No, you're not" I said, putting my hand on his shoulder and pushing him back down onto the stool "Nick, you're my friend... Please, hear me out" I gave Nick a pleading look.

"Fine, i'll hear you out, but that doesn't mean i'll forgive you" Nick took a swig of beer.

"You act like i wanted to be caught in the middle of a war, well i didn't. I know you don't believe me, but John and Jacob Seed want to end the war, they want to stop Joseph. And i'm going to help them, and so is Eli Palmer, and so is Sheriff Whitehorse" i said, taking a sip of my beer.

"They are lying to you, Ellana! It's what they do, they are fucking lunatics!" Nick rarely got angry, and he rarely called me Ellana, so when he did you knew it was serious. "Look Ellie, please, i don't want you to get hurt, they have hurt so many people already".

"I know what i'm doing, please trust me. I know they have done things, terrible things, but they're trying to right them... Why won't you let them? Just give them a chance, that's all i'm asking" i tried to reason with Nick, hoping he would understand.

Nick pondered over it for a few minutes, just when i was starting to wonder if he was ever going to answer, he did. "Fine. They get one chance, but i don't want them anywhere near my family, and if they fuck up even once, so help me god, i'll kill them myself, especially that crazy fucker, John". I smiled at his answer, patting him on the back and gripping his shoulder "you're the best, you won't regret this".

"Finally here for your dog?" Mary May approached, raising one brow. "Hey Mary May, sorry i didn't grab him last night, but i really appreciate you watching him" i thanked my friend, but i noticed she didn't look very happy.

"Yeah sure, i had no problem watching your dog while you were running around with Jacob fucking Seed, no problem at all" her words were dripping with sarcasm. "Mary May, please don't hate me" i begged.

"I don't hate you, pastor Jerome already told me everything, but i'm still pissed you didn't tell me yourself. If you want to help them, go ahead, but don't expect me to like them, and don't expect me to invite them to the Testicle Festival next week" I can't tell if she was joking or not.

"You're the best, now sit down and have a beer with your friends" i said with glee. "Hey! I thought i was the best!" Nick said, placing his hand on his chest acting as though he was offended.

"Well, you've been replaced, suck it Rye" Mary May said, grabbing a beer from behind the bar counter.

"Alright alright, calm down you two" i said, trying to stifle a laugh. "As fun as this is, i should get going, where's Boomer?".

"He's outside, he's a good dog, it's a shame what happened to Rae-Rae" a sad expression overcame Mary May's face. I wasn't close with Rae-Rae, but i knew Mary May was. I rubbed Mary May's shoulder in a comforting manner "I'm sorry Mary May, she deserved so much better".

"You're right, she did. Joseph Seed will fucking pay for what happened to her" she was gripping her beer so tight i thought it might shatter. She loosened her grip on the bottle "well, there's nothing we can do about it right now, and as you said, you should probably get going, i know Boomer missed you".

"Right, i guess i should get going. See ya Nick, Mary May" i gave them a salute as i backed up towards the door.

When i went outside i wasn't expecting to see John Seed squatted down, petting Boomer. "What did you say his name was again? Spot? Or are you going to finally admit that his name his Boomer? now that we're friends?".

"I don't know what Jacob told you, but we're not friends... We are just two forces working together to stop a greater evil" i spoke dramatically... And. He. Laughed. 'It pisses me off, how charming he is. He has a soothing laugh, i will admit that, not to him of course'.

"Listen charming, i'm not joking, remember last time you thought i was joking? I bet you still have the bump on your head" i said, smugly. His smile faltered and he started to grit his teeth.

And then he smiled again... He made a tcking noise with his tongue "Ms. Moore why do you despise me so? I have been nothing but kind to you, even after you hit me over the head".

"You had me drugged and tied to a chair, i wouldn't call that 'nice'" i bit back. "You killed four of my men, what did you want me to do? Ask nicely? Don't be stupid Ms. Moore, i was just starting to like you" he smiled. Of course he smiled, that's all he knows how to do.

"Why are you here John?" i said, hoping to change the subject, since he was right, as much as i hate to admit it. He gave me a toothy grin, satisfied with his victory "i just wanted to stop by and personally invite you to my ranch, tomorrow night, for dinner. And i'm sorry to disappoint you, but it won't just be us, Faith and Jacob will be there as well. So, you will come, won't you?" He raised a brow 'he wants me to come to dinner? why?'. "Why would i ever have dinner with you?" i asked the obvious question.

"We need to talk, about the plan. Plus, you haven't met Faith yet, and she is just dying to meet you. Be there at 7, and don't be late" and with that, he walked away, without even letting me answer 'asshole'.

"C'mon Boomer let's get out of here" I called to the pooch as I walked to my truck, getting in the driver's side, Boomer jumped through the passenger window.

The drive home was filled with thoughts, i was nervous about having dinner with the Seeds, many thoughts raced through my mind... What was Faith like? Was she as nice as people thought her to be? Or was she truly just an evil siren? Also what should i wear? Should i dress up or just wear casual clothes? I'm sure John will wear something nice, Faith might as well, Jacob will probably just stick with his Army jacket.

I was filled with relief when i finally pulled into my driveway. My stomach growled as i turned off the truck, "god, i haven't eaten since yesterday morning. What about you boy? You hungry too?" The dogs head perked up at this, he grew excited for food.

I walked through the door and headed straight for kitchen, after rummaging through the fridge for a few minutes, i decided to make Boomer and i a couple steaks, since i forgot to pick up some dog food when i was being kidnapped by John's men.

"So, how do you like your steak?" Boomer just cocked his head "medium rare, it is then".

After Boomer and i ate, i decided to shower and change into a t-shirt and shorts, after i was changed i crawled into bed, deciding a full nights sleep was a good idea, for tomorrow, was going to be an interesting day...

CHAPTER TEN... And look at that... It's only the next day lol. I'll still try to update again tomorrow, but still, I hope you all are enjoying the story so far... And look! Boomers back! I'm not gonna lie, I forgot about Boomer when I wrote the chapter where they went to the jail... Oops... Alright that's everything, I think. BUH BYE!!!
