Him & I

Chapter 7

Jace's POV

"I'll leave you to sleep now," I looked at cora then left the room. When I got down to the living room, Emilio and Damon were sat there. I flopped down on a chair and looked at Emilio. "What made you wake me up at 1:30am?" Emilio asked. "Looks like you haven't slept at all," I stated. "I have been with willow since you left to go to your girl back at the diner," he smirked. "That's weird. I had to shoot at a car that looked awfully similar to Damon's. See now I know for a fact that Damon wouldn't shoot at me and an innocent girl. So boss, got some explaining to do?" I looked at him. "Nope. You can even ask willow. I put beks to bed then I was talking with willow," Emilio told me. "This is to good," Damon laughed. "What is?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Nothing," he replied. "Did you go for a deal then?" I questioned Emilio. "Nope, been here all night," he told me. "Why are you dressed then? How come your not in pyjamas when you were supposedly with willow?" I let a small smile form on my face. "Because," he responded. "I can tell you. Because you followed me to the diner, waited a while and when it was only me and cora, you started shooting at us. Now boss, tell me why that is?" I leaned forward in my chair. "Emilio Di'Angelo you did not shoot at two sixteen year olds," rose walked in. "Maybe," he smiled. "Dude come on. I had to bring her here. Do you know what she thinks of me now? You scared her and now she doesn't want me near her," I whispered yelled. "I thought a bit of hero action might help you get the girl," Emilio shrugged. "What damage did you cause," Rose glared at him. "I only broke two windows. That covered one wall," Emilio ran out of the room. Rose went behind the sofa and pulled out a baseball bat. "This will be good," Damon rubbed his hands together. We both followed rose as she chased Emilio with the bat. As Emilio ran past my room, Cora came out looking scared out of her mind. I grabbed her hand as me and Damon followed rose. "What's going on?" Cora asked me. "Uh, just watch," I replied. Rose hit Emilio in the foot causing him to fall. "Let's talk about this mum, come on," he put his hands up in surrender as he layed on the floor. "Salvatore get your ass out here now," rose shouted. Salvatore ran out and saw us all looking at Emilio on the floor. "What's going on?" He looked at rose. "Look at that poor girl," rose pointed the bat at cora. "Jesus Christ rose," I moved away as it swung near my face. "What's the problem?" Salvatore furrowed his eyebrows. "Your son shot at her. Look how scared she looks," Rose looked at cora. "Come on honey, let's go get a hot chocolate," rose sighed and put her arm around Cora's shoulders. "You fucking idiot. Why do you have to make your mum angry early hours in the morning? I'm the one that has to put up with that," Salvatore glared at Emilio. "I told you this would be good," Damon nudged me. "What are you two doing up anyway?" Salvatore turned to me and Damon. "I was getting food for a movie with Luna but like always she's asleep before the film starts," Damon shrugged. "And you," he faced me. "Dip shit down there shot at me and cora at the diner and scared her. Then someone was following her so I brought her here. I guess that was you as well," I bent down to Emilio. "Nah, I came straight home so if someone was following her then it's either another gang or someone is out for your girl," Emilio replied. I could see in his eyes that he didn't know who it was and that made me more curious as to who it could be. "Ok, what do we do if it is another gang?" I helped Emilio to his feet. "No clue mate. I guess you could keep her here until the air is clear," he sighed. "She doesn't trust me because you made me pull out a gun. What do we do when she wants to go home?" I whispered yelled. "Dude chill. I'm sorry maybe I should have left it for you to come together on your own," Emilio took a step back. "Whatever," I leaned against the wall. "Well I'm going back to bed," Salvatore turned and left. "Me to. This was a night to remember," Damon laughed as he walked past us. "I'll get you back Damon," Emilio called after him. "I'm so scared," he pretended to shake and be scared. "Ass hat," Emilio laughed. "Daddy I can't sleep," Rebekah came out of her room. "What's wrong tesoro? Bad dream?" He picked her up. "I heard grandma shouting," Rebekah rubbed her eyes. "Come on let's go," Emilio turned to walk away. "Jace comes as well," she pouted. "You can only have one princess," Emilio told her. "Jace," she smiled. "Let's go then," I took Rebekah from Emilio and took her into her room. I slipped my shoes off and layed down on her bed with her. "Why was grandma shouting?" Rebekah asked me. "Because your dad was being naughty like usual. Did it scare you?" I pulled the covers over her. "No, grandma always says that daddy was a bad baby," she giggled. "Alright, go to sleep," I told her. After half an hour of laying with Rebekah, I slowly moved off her bed. "Don't leave," she whined. "I've got to go see if my friend is ok," I whispered. Rebekah stood up on her bed and made grabby hands at me. I rolled my eyes but picked her up. As I carried Rebekah, I heard rose, Cora and Dakota in the kitchen. "Did she want you to lay with her?" Dakota made a pouty face at me. "Yeah, when I tried to leave this happened," I sighed. Rebekah looked up and saw cora sat there. "Ella es tu novia?"- is she your girlfriend? Rebekah looked at cora then back at me. "No, solo una Amiga,"- no, just a friend. I told her. "Ella Es muy Bonita,"- she's very pretty, Rebekah smiled. "Lo se, pero ella tiene novio,"- I know, but she has a boyfriend, I chuckled. "Por que esta aqui entonces?"- why is she here then? Rebekah asked. "No te preocupes,"- don't worry, I sighed. "What are they saying?" Dakota nudged rose. "Only if you had listened to nick," rose laughed a little. "Are you ok?" Rose looked at cora. She had her head down like she was trying to hide something. "Uh, yeah," Cora looked up. "Fuck," I whispered. "Bad jace. That's a naughty word," Rebekah slapped the top of my head. "I'm sorry, won't happen again," I laughed a little. "That's what daddy says but he always does it again," she pouted and crossed her arms. "I promise that I won't do it again," I put out my pinky. "Promise," Rebekah hooked her pinky to mine. "Cross my heart," I smiled. "Right, let's get you to bed, your dad will chase me with a baseball bat if you don't go to bed," Rose took Rebekah from me and walked out of the kitchen. "So what did Rebekah say?" Dakota asked me as I sat down. "Don't worry," I told her. Just then my phone went off. 'What did she say?' Dakota messaged me. "Seriously daks it doesn't matter," I groaned. "Do I need to get Damon to make you laugh? Screw that, I'll get Emilio to do it," Dakota ran off. After a while Emilio came in. "Tu hermana es un dolor en el culo,"- your sister is a pain in the ass. I told Emilio as he sat down. "Cual?"- which one? He asked. "Luna," I rolled my eyes. "De verdad?"-really? Emilio sounded shocked. Matter of fact me and Luna got on really well. "No Dakota. Rebekah dijo que Cora es Bonita y acepte, pero Dakota no dejara de molestarme hasta que,"- no Dakota. Rebekah said that Cora is really pretty and I agreed, but Dakota won't stop annoying me until I tell her, I told him. "Sabes ella nos entiende bien,"- you do know she understands us right? Emilio pointed at cora. "You do?" I slowly looked at her. "Uh yeah, my dad comes from Madrid," Cora smiled at me slightly. "Shit," I muttered. "Where's Rebekah anyway?" Emilio got my attention. "Rose took her back to bed," I sighed. Just then, Rebekah and Corey ran into the kitchen. "Jace come play with us," Corey smiled. "Shouldn't your two be in bed? It's 2am," I looked down at them. "Nope, we are wide awake and want to play," Rebekah laughed. "You get Corey I get Rebekah?" Emilio looked at me. "You two have five seconds before me and Emilio get you," I stood up. "Cora run with us," Rebekah grabbed her hand. "Ok," she smiled. Rebekah and Corey ran while Cora followed. When they got out of the kitchen me and Emilio looked at each other. "This won't be fun at all," he sighed. "We better go before Rebekah has a tantrum," I laughed. We both ran out of the kitchen and saw the three of them running up the stairs. "We'll get you," Emilio called up to them. Rebekah screamed, "you will never get us," she shouted. "You wanna bet," I laughed. "How much?" She put her hands on her hips. "£4," I stated. "Deal," Rebekah said then ran. "Your paying not me," Emilio laughed. "That's £8 out my pocket," I sighed. When Cora, Corey and Rebekah got up the stairs, me and Emilio started running. "We're coming," Emilio shouted. We took three steps at a time and got to the top. All three were gone when we got to the top. We heard little laughter coming from coreys room as we walked past. Emilio tapped me and put his finger to his lips. I nodded and we went in. "Where could they be?" I walked around the room. I heard Rebekah and Corey giggle and cora tell them to be quiet. I lifted up the bed to find all three of them laying there. They all screamed sand ran out from under the bed. I put it down and grabbed Corey while Emilio got Rebekah. "Pay up princess," I laughed. "I don't know what your going on about," she smiled. "Just like your dad," I smiled and shook my head. "What about cora, you haven't got her yet," Rebekah pouted. I walked over to Emilio and Rebekah, "all of us have to chase her," I looked down at the two. "Game on," Corey smiled. We all looked at cora as she started backing out of the door. "Get her," Rebekah shouted. Cora ran out of the room as we followed. Rebekah and Corey was on the front while me and Emilio trailed behind. "She's to fast," Corey panted. "Get her jace," Rebekah pointed. Emilio, Rebekah and Corey stopped behind me as I grabbed Cora's waist. "Jace," she called out and laughed. "We got you," I pulled her into my chest. Cora lifted her head and looked at me. Our lips were very close, my eyes travelled from her eyes down to her lips. I could feel her breath on my lips from the small distance between us. "Uh hem," Emilio coughed. Me and cora both pulled away from each other, I scratched the back of my neck. "Ok, time for bed," I went up to Corey and picked him up. I chucked him in the air and caught him again making him laugh. I put Corey to bed and went back to my room. Cora was sat on the bed on her phone. "Uh, sorry about earlier," I looked down. "It's ok," she replied. "Ok, I'm going to be downstairs if you need me," I told her then walked away. "Dude, what was that about?" Damon and Emilio looked at me. "What?" I shrugged. "I saw they was you looked at your 'friend'. If your looking at her like that she ain't no friend mate," Damon laughed. "We saw your almost kiss her," Emilio laughed. "I don't know what your talking about," I sat down. "You look at cora the way I look at willow and the way Damon looks at Luna," Emilio smiled. "Like what?" I asked. "Like you want to strip her right there and take her to bed. Not just anyone would look at a girl like that unless they liked her," Damon sat down next to me. "Don't tell anyone that again," I cringed. "But the way I saw it, it did look like you just wanted to push her in your room and claim her," Emilio sat the other side of me. "I don't know what your getting at here," I looked away. "They want you to confess your feelings for her. I did the same with Damon and rose did the same with Emilio," Salvatore walked in. "This is a fucking interrogation," I sighed. "Yep," Damon popped the p. "What do you want to hear? That I like her, after one long ass night of talking I got feelings. But-," I started. "There's always a but," Emilio rolled his eyes. "Shh," Damon slapped Emilio on the shoulder. "What the hell," he held his shoulder. "Shut up or I'll get the bat and your mum," Damon threatened. "Sorry," Emilio backed away a little. "But what?" Damon looked at me. "But she has a boyfriend. He's popular and has money, that's why they are together," I looked down. "That doesn't stop feelings mate. It doesn't matter if she is in a relationship or not. If the girl isn't then bonus but it's just a waiting game if she is. Just think about the positives not the negative," Damon patted my shoulder. He walked out with Salvatore behind him and Emilio at the end. "Get some sleep, we have work to do tomorrow," Emilio looked back then left. I sighed and layed down. Even though I was on the sofa, it was freaking comfortable. I had stayed on it a couple times. After a while, sleep took over.
