Amy's Pov: 

It has been over two months since everything has happened. I haven't seen Cameron outside of school, and there has been no sign that he is up to something. Which has Jace and the gang on edge. Sarah and Jess are still shy and awkward about their feelings towards Chad and Liam, I swear they need to grow up. We are currently all sitting in Jace's living room at his house watching a movie. Jess and Sarah don't know about the gang and that scares me. They are so oblivious to the world and things going around them and knowing that they could be hurt or in danger scares the crap out of me. 

"Jace can I talk to you" I ask Jace quietly 

He nods his head and we both get up and walk into the kitchen.

"Where are you two going" Jess says 

"We will be right back don't worry" I say and continue walking into the kitchen with Jace behind me. 

"What's up?" he says going to the fridge

"We need to tell them" I say staring at him

"Tell who what?" he asks confused

"You know exactly what Jace. They need to know if they are going to be with Chad and Liam" I say

He places the bucket of chicken on the bench and walks over and stands in front of me.

"Amy you know we can't. It's way too risky" he says placing his hand on my shoulders. 

"No what's risky Jace is them hanging around you, me, Chad and Liam, and them being completely oblivious to the whole other world that is happening right under there nose" I say pushing away from him. 

"Amy"

"No don't Amy me. I am trying to look out for my best friends, and you just want to keep them hidden in the dark" 

He looks down and I stare at him. After a couple of seconds of silence I know he isn't going to change his mind, so I walk away and go upstairs. He is being completely unfair. As I walk into Jace's room I notice the window open but I swear I closed it. I go over and close it feeling something uneasy settling in my stomach. As I walk over to my bed I notice an envelope sitting on my pillow.

    Hello love,

Surely you didn't forget about me. Not long now and you will be back home where you belong and your precious Jace will be dead. Don't worry babe, I am coming to get you very soon.

   Your future husband x

I stared at the note, reading it over and over. I know this was Cameron, and I knew he was going to strike back, I just don't know when. I need to tell Jace. I run downstairs into the living room where I see Jace, Chad, Liam, Jess, and Sarah still watching the movie. I run to Jace and stop in front go him, handing the letter to him. He looks up at me and takes it from my hand. Everyone has now stopped watching the movie and is staring at me and Jace. He slowly opens the letter and begins reading it. His eyes grow with anger and he starts to grip the paper. I jumps up from his seat and towers over me staring me in the eyes. 

"Where did you get this?" he says seriously 

"Ok one don't talk to me like that and two it was just on the pillow in your room" I say

"How?" he asks

"What do you mean how?" I ask

"How did it get there?" he says

"How the fuck am I supposed to know. I walked into the room and I saw the window open so they might have come through the window" I say 

"Who came through the window?" I hear Jess ask

Shit. I look at Jace and raise my eyebrow. Good luck explaining this Jace.

"Well, is someone going to explain what is going on?" Sarah asks

I continue staring at Jace as he stares back at me. I can see the wheels turning in his head about how he is going to explain this. 

"We are in a gang" Chad says

All eyes move to Chad who stands staring out the window. I look at Jess and Sarah who are shocked and frozen in their spot. I slowly approach them. 

"Wh-what, you're joking right?" Jess asks, directing her question to Chad

I stop in my spot, and notice Chad looking at Jess.

"I'm not joking" he says sitting down hanging his head down

"Why would you not tell us, not tell me. I thought we had something" Jess says with tears forming in her eyes. 

I look at Jace who is staring at Chad with a blank expression. Seriously asshole. I then look at Liam and Sarah. Sarah has tears falling down her face, whilst Liam is trying to comfort her. I knew she would be fine. This is what I wanted to avoid. Thanks Jace.

"I didn't want you involved, and if you got involved you could become a target, and I didn't want to do that to you. I love you Jess and it hurt me to not tell you, but I couldn't, not until I knew you were ready." Chad says. He loves her. 

"You love me?" she asks, sitting next to Chad

"Yes" he says looking at her

They both smile and lean into each other. Time to go. Just as I am about to pull Jace and the other lovebirds out of the room Jess speaker up.

"You knew didn't you?" she says looking at me. Shit. 

"Yes I did" I said looking down, avoiding her and Sarah's eyes.

"Why would you keep this from us, we are your best friends. We have been there for you through everything, and you keep this from us." Sarah says 

"I wanted to tell you I did, but I couldn't" I say

"Oh yea, cause you didn't want us to be in danger, or you thought we couldn't handle it." Jess says

"Jess - "

"No, don't Amy. I can't believe you right now" Jess says walking off, Sarah following behind. They both walk out of the living room and the front door. As soon as I heard the door slam closed, I ran up stairs and into Jace's room, locking the door. I slid down the door with my hands in my hair. I know that they will be back, but knowing that I have caused this makes me feel so bad. I tried everything to keep them from finding out this way, but I failed. I feel as though my two sisters have just walked out of my life, it hurts to know that the reason they are upset and mad is because of me. I didn't notice I was crying until I felt tears falling onto my legs. I sat there on the floor, crying for what felt like hours until a knock interrupted me. I knew it was Jace. 

"Amy please let me in" he says on the other side of the door

I stand up and put my hand on the doorknob. I open the door and see him staring right at me. He walks in and brings me straight into his arms. I cry harder into his chest and grip the back of his shirt. He closes the door and brings us to the bed, sitting us down at the end of it.

"I'm sorry" he says breaking the silence. 

I pull back and look into his eyes. He has tears in his eyes.

"It's not your fault Jace" I say

"Yes it is, if I just let you tell them, they would not have reacted this way and you wouldn't be crying here right now" he says 

I grab his face and press my lips onto his. As much as it is part his fault, it is also mine. 

"We are both at fault" I say and smile at him
