A broken girl...

Twenty years old and I'd finally had enough. I couldn't take anymore, so I packed up my things and disappeared, leaving behind my drunken, abusive father and the mother that stood by and watched as I slowly died.

I knew I was going, but not where I'd stop.

The last thing I expected once on my own, was to be spending my nights stripping at a club in Florida, barely getting by. I should have known running from a past wouldn't make it stop haunting me, because misery will always find me and tear me down until there's nothing left of me. It always has...

Things can always change though, right?

Like looking up at a handsome, tattooed stranger, and with one stare he has me questioning everything I've ever believed in. I wasn't expecting or prepared for someone to storm into my life. Not him.

Jace Montgomery.

The name I'll never forget. The need to save me lies in his eyes, but I don't need a savior. Trust- what he wants to teach me. That I'm something more than what I've grown up believing and that I'm worth loving. Those are the things he wants me to believe.

How am I supposed to let him in and show me I'm something when I've spent my entire life being... nothing? 

He won't give up, and honestly, I'm hoping he never does...

Because maybe... just maybe... I am worth saving after all.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Said His Father Smiling. I sat and wept in The back of the whole congregation. I watched as they leaned forward to kiss each other. It wasn't over yet. "Now for your final words to the congregation? " His father asked. Jace scoped the crowd until his eyes landed on me. He had a devilish grin plastered on his face. I knew what was coming next. "I Jace Hunter, REJECT my mate Jade Smith," He said without hesitation. I felt a disconnection. I began to beg the fates to stop him from doing this, but they even cheered for the two. He picked her up off Her feet and walked towards the doors. I could feel my heart racing, then slowing down rapidly. I couldn't breathe. Everyone was cheering for the two, then they all looked at me and laughed. Like I was just a joke like I was nothing but a fool. I don't know why I showed up. I stood up to leave and I felt sick to my stomach, and like I was slowly dying. I fell to the floor and I cried and cried. Everything was happening so fast. I knew he was in bed with her already, I could feel it, but I felt the opposite of what people described as the opposite sensational feeling. I felt pain, with every stroke. I felt like my insides were being torn out of my body. I lied there, in immense pain as everyone laughed. Their laughter was growing louder and louder. I didn't think it could get any worse than this. Then he mated her.. I could feel my world slowly crashing as my hips went ablaze and my insides felt like they were on fire. This is what hell feels like. It was supposed to be me! Not her, but she won. She got exactly what she wanted...

I felt his body close to mine, I knew it was him because my body awoken in way it hasn't before. Not since I met him. I turned around, my back leaning against the fridge door. We were so close, I watch his eyes travel up and down my body before he locks his lips quickly before meeting my eye. "fez" I whispered when our lips were inches apart, his body left mine suddenly and I watch as he walks towards the door. I frown as I watch him lean up grabbing the shutters to pull them down. "fez you have a business to run" I spoke out, unsure of what is actually happening. I know what I want to happen, what I dream would happen. But I've always been a dreamer. "I have a big problem-" I heard his voice ring out, as the shutters hit the ground then he locked the door. He turned around to look at me, his eyes were darker. He looked a thousand times hotter. "a big fucking problem" he said again as he started making his way towards me, his hand come up and knocked on the fridge door. After a moment I heard the door out the back open and close, ashtray had left. "what's the problem? Maybe I-I can help" I felt so many emotions right now, some I'm used to and some that are fucking new. "I doubt that-" he mumbles as he was once again infront of me, one hand was above my head leaning on the fridge door. The other came down to touch my face. "I can't get you out my fucking head, your like a drug" he suddenly said before his hands go to my waist and he pulls my body against his before slamming his lips into mine. ~~~ Nothing in life was easy, including life itself but when you find someone who makes it easier nothing else matters. I mean, just as long as he stands by me. Rates #1 in lexi (20th April 2022)
