SACRIFICED

Chapter 31

The credits started rolling for the movie, I looked over and saw Wyatt's hands around Chloe and Zoe, when I looked further I saw Jax sitting down, they would not allow my own cousin sit with me because apparently, I was being toxic, if only they knew the reason I was like this. I was just trying to protect them from Xavier. If I told them about Xavier, he would kill them. I think I should just stay away from Alec like Xavier asked I might just be keeping him in danger.

We all walked out of the movie theatre, the movie was not exactly what I was expecting, the guys must have picked the movie if it was so filled with action, I threw popcorn in my mouth while I listened to them rave about how good the movie was.

"Where is Jax," what do they mean where is Jax he is right... I looked and saw Jeremy looking at me with an awkward look on his face, I blinked in disbelief and he blinked back equally. What the fuck, I was sure I had been walking with Jax throughout today.

"That is him" I pointed to Jeremy, and my friends looked at me with confusion, They looked at me then Jax then back at me.

"Winter are you feeling alright, 'ana mtakd min 'anak bialjunun" (I am sure you are going mad). What did Ali just say to me?

"I am feeling alright, this is my cousin,"  I said

"That is not Jax, we do not know that dude," Mia said. Jeremy and Jax looked alike in some sense so I just had to press a little further.

"That is him you guys, the darkness of the theatre is messing with your head" I smiled beamingly "I know my cousin, this is Jax," Jeremy smiled.

Oh- okay?" they muttered. I'm just happy they didn't take any pictures with him.

"I guess I should get going, my father would be worried about me going home this late and I might have some traffic to beat,"

"Okay, drive safely" My best friends chorused and hugged me tightly "We three know that is not Jax you have some explaining to do, remember your promise," they whispered into my ear and released me. WHAT A SINISTER DUO.

"Jeremy where is Jax?" I asked as I got into the car and Jeremy settled down beside me.

"His royal highness is not too happy about his actions today, so he is at the house waiting to receive his punishment or rather already receiving it" My blood went cold, Xavier was hurting Jax, this is all my fault I should have protected him. "He told me to fill in for him" UH OH.

"Please drive faster" Jeremy picked up his speed and when we got to a red light all we had to do was stop. I contemplated whether I should ask Jeremy if he liked me at all, but I knew he would just lie and tell me he did and it was because I was his prince's Fiance.

I ran into the house and up to my bedroom to drop my things, there was no sign of Xavier anywhere. THE BASEMENT.

I hurried down the stairs almost losing my footing and face planting, I gripped the staircase and ran down into the basement.

"So you are telling me that if I forced you to sit at a dinner table with my father you would sit" I heard a grunt

"No my lord" he groaned

"That is exactly what you implied, what if someone was watching her, to see when you would let your bodyguard facade wear out" another deeply pained grunt, "Her friends told you to sit and you sat like the boss you are,"

"No my lord," he said with a sharp intake of breath, "AHH, my lord" my bones jumped inside my body.

"So I am lying" what are you doing cat walking go and stop him. I picked up my pace and walked into the room. "Don't think I have forgotten you ogling over her body" I heard the cracking of a whip and I saw Xavier beating Jax up. I just wanted to faint at the sight of the blood.
