My Little Fighter

Chapter 21

                        Amelia

I was just finishing putting on my pyjamas when I heard someone knocking on the door.

At first, I thought it was just my imagination, or even the wind, but when it knocked again, my blood froze.

I wasn't scared for me, that wasn't my problem, I was just worried for Luke.

His arm was still injured and he would have no one to-

I snapped back to reality when I heard the person behind the door moving a bit, so I immediately ran and grabbed the first thing I saw.

A kitchen knife, nice one Ames.

I slowly opened the door and I was about to stab the intruder in the guts but it was none other than Mr. Asshat.

He mumbled some sort of smart comment but I was too confused as to what was Jace was doing here.

After he let himself in I couldn't help but feel a little happy by this surprise visit.

Of course, I won't let him know that.

He started talking with his back facing me, but when he turned to look at my face, he instantly stopped.

What ? Am I that ugly ?

"How did you get that?" He asked with anger while pointing at the bruise on my face.

Shit. If he realizes that I fight I'm literally screwed.

No one can know about that.

I saw the concern in his eyes so
I put my hand on his arm to try and calm him down. And to distract him a little bit too.

"First of all, stay calm, Luke's sleeping. Second of all, it's nothing, I just ran into a door."

I tried my best to act like it wasn't a big deal when internally, I was freaking the fuck out.

I hate lying to people, but this was an exception.

I really hope he buys that.

He clearly didn't, but he didn't push it further.

Thank God I wasn't still wearing the clothes from the fight or else he would have known.

I needed to get him out of here as soon as possible before I say something wrong and he figures it all out.

After I kicked him out, I couldn't help but smile. I really appreciated what he did, even if I was one second away from getting caught.

This boy was weird, but to my dismay, he was very smart too.

I needed to stay away from him, yet I couldn't seem to do that.

Our relationship was so complicated but deep down, I was really attached to him. And this scared me a lot.

After I processed everything that happened, I got in my bed and tried to get my much needed sleep.

The next morning, I woke up with Luke sitting on my stomach as usual, but it started to growl because of the weight on it.

Or maybe because I forgot to eat yesterday.

"Good morning big guy, how did you sleep ?"

"My arm doesn't hurt anymore so I slept good !" He answered cheerfully.

His smile always brightened my days.

"That's good Lukey."

I ruffled his hair and got up to make breakfast but he suddenly tugged on my arm and asked.

"What's that on your cheek ?" He frowned while trying to tug me even more to see better.

"Oh that's nothing baby. I walked into a wall. You have a clumsy sister that's all." I put on my best fake smile as we both made our way to the kitchen.

After drinking my coffee, eating my appele, and making sure Luke was eating his cereals, I went to the bathroom and did the usual, without forgetting to put some makeup on my cheek.

I don't need any more people asking me about what happened.

Luke made it safely to school thanks to me, and as soon as I got to mine, I saw Hannah waiting for me in the corridor.

"Heyyy you !"

I swear to god she has too much energy in the morning.

"What's up Hannah Banana." I asked while hugging her.

"You'll never guess what I heard !"

"Damn right I won't, so how about you tell me what it is ?"

"As I was walking in the hallway, I heard Jace asking to his friends if they saw you."

Oh, I tried to act cool with this but I was feeling warm inside.

"And? He probably has a question to ask me about a class or something."

"Yeah right."

She squinted her eyes at me as if she knew I was hiding something and I couldn't really resist, so I told her everything that happened last night from the fight until Jace's visit.

"Oh. My. God. Dibs on being the bridesmaid to the wedding." She squealed.

"Calm down, there's nothing going on between us."

"Yeah, and I'm an elf."

"You have beautiful ears for an elf." I joked to try and divert the subject from me and Jace.

That is until I heard my name being called.

So much for distracting Hannah.

"Hey cupcake, how's your cheek ?"

Dear lord. He looked so good today wearing a black shirt and black ripped jeans.

And his hair, I just wanted to run my hand in them. I bet they were soft and-

"Checking me out again Amelia ?"

I became all red from embarrassment but thankfully, the makeup hid it.

"N-no. Don't get too ahead of yourself Jace. And it doesn't hurt as much so I guess it's good. Thanks for asking."

"Come on, we have Biology right now, let's go."

He took me by the shoulder and dragged towards the class.

I was too shocked at first to register what was happening but somehow, I didn't resist.

I looked back to apologize to Hannah only to see her grinning from ear to ear with both her thumbs up.

This is going to be a long day.

Hey guys! I just hit 10k yesterday! I can't thank enough all the people who bear with the story and the fact that it's still not complete. This is awesome :)
