CHAPTER 16

*******CARMEN'S POV*******

Four months. Four months I had been here. Four months since I lost my family and friends. Four months since I had met Jace. Three months since I had first kissed Jace. Three months since I got the huge gash on my stomach. Two months since I had known about Jace's past. Two months since I had learned Mark was Jace's brother and now I hated his guts. One month since I had tried to stop crying. One month since I had figured out I loved Jace. And one day since I hoped he loved me too.

All of these thoughts ran through my head as I was lying in between Jace's legs. It was killing me inside now that I knew I loved him. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want him to freak out if he didn't love me too. Sometimes it seemed like he did when he was kissing me but other times he was deep in thought and I couldn't really make out what he was saying. We often made out a lot, not that I was complaining but sometimes it was just weird not having him know. I often wondered if he thought the same things I was but other times I was just glad he didn't know. I was so confused about this. I had never loved someone before. It was like, when they took me away from him, it hurt, when I wasn't close to him, I felt empty. It was like every time he was with me, fireworks were erupting inside me and electricity was pulsing through where ever he kissed. I sighed. I felt Jace nudge my arm

"Penny for your thoughts"

I looked up at him; he was smiling.

"Oh, nothing just about..." I wasn't going to lie to Jace, I hated doing that which is why I hardly ever did, I just wasn't going to tell him entirely the truth. "Us" I finally said

"Hmm, I see" he said stroking my hair. "You it just occurred to me, I never really properly asked you to be my girlfriend"

As soon as the words left his mouth, I shot up which was a big mistake; my head started spinning and I put my hand up to stop it. "Woh" I said and out my other hand on my head.

Jace laughed, "Is the idea really that bad?" he said putting a hand on my cheek

My head stopped spinning and I brought my hands down. My vision started to clear up and I saw him staring at me smiling. I smiled back and looked down. He put his finger under my chin and brought my lips to his

"Hey, what's wrong?" he said after he pulled away

I sighed and kissed him again; he pulled me off him. I crossed my arms

"Carmen, what's wrong?"

"Nothing" I said and uncrossed my arms

"Carmen, don't lie to me, what's wrong" he said turning my head towards him

"Nothing Jace, really, it's nothing" I said smiling

He raised an eyebrow but got over it. "Ok, but if you want to tell me later, go ahead" he said smiling

I smiled and kissed him again, he didn't protest and kissed me back. I pulled away and bit my lip looking down

He laughed; "There's the biting lip I love" he said and kissed my bottom lip.

I giggled and he pulled away and smirked.

"Jace I..." I started to say but stopped

"What?"

"Nothing" I said and looked away

"Carmen...I don't know what's going through your mind but please don't keep it bottled up, tell me" he said rubbing my back

"I...it's nothing Jace, please just drop it, I'd rather not talk about it"

He gave me a concerned look

"It's nothing bad I promise" I said kissing his nose

He just glared at me.

I glared back

He sighed. "Fine don't tell me" he said and stood up

"Jace" I whined. "Please don't be this way" I stood up too and clung on to his back

He stopped and picked me up so I had my legs wrapped around his waist. "Alright but only because I can't stand to see you sad"

I smiled. "So, what do you want to do today?" I asked putting my head on his shoulder

I could tell he smiled. "I don't know but by the way, will you officially be my girlfriend?"

I pulled my head up and looked into his eyes. I smiled and nodded

He smiled and kissed me quickly. "Good because I wouldn't have taken no for an answer" he said and smiled

I kissed him again and I felt him smile. "We could do this all day" I said against his lips

"Sounds..." he was cut off by the door opening

I jumped off of him and two men stepped in.

"Hello girly" said a thick British accent

"Oh my god" I mumbled and grabbed onto Jace's arm tightly

"What is it?" he whispered in my ear

"That's one of the guys who kidnapped me" I whispered back

I felt him tense up and grab my waist, pulling me closer to him

"We have orders for you to come with us girly" said the British accent

I held on tighter to Jace and he pulled me behind him

"We'll have to take you by force if necessary girly and we both know you don't want that to happen"

I took a deep breath and squeezed Jace's arm. I stepped forward

"Good girly" said the British accent

"Carmen, no" said Jace pulling me back next to him

I ripped my arm out of his grasp and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be ok"

He sighed heavily. "Ok, be careful, I...never mind, be careful" he said kissing my cheek

I stared at him wide eyed. Was he trying to say he loved me? I did the same thing but ultimately failed. "Ok, I will" I said and smiled

"Let's go girly" said the British accent and grabbed my arm, pulling me out of the room. I took one last look at Jace, he had a horrified expression on his face but quickly mouthed something I couldn't make out. The door shut and I turned back around. The guy pulled me up some stairs and down a long hall. I looked around my surroundings just in case I ever had to make a break for it. The last time I was walking down this hall was when Jace's dad beat me so bad I passed out and ended up with the gash in my stomach. I shuddered at the thought. I broke out of my thoughts and concentrated on my surroundings. He turned a corner and dragged my arm with him. He walked up to a door an unlocked it with a key. He shoved me in

"Have fun girly" he said and slammed the door shut

I looked around the room. It had white walls, green curtains and was empty except for two doors. I walked up to one and opened it to see it was a closet, the other one was locked. I walked back to the center of the room and stood around for a while. What would they bring me here for? I heard someone yelling on the other side of the locked door and turned to face it. There was a bang and the door swung open. There was a man and a boy. The man shoved the boy in the room

"Have fun" he laughed

The boy stumbled forward and the man slammed the door. The boy had brown hair and was looking down. I stepped forward

"W-who are you?"

He slowly lifted his head up. I saw a flash of grey eyes.

"Mark?!"
