Ch. 21 Race Wars

I woke up with two arms crossed over my waist. "What the... Guys get off. I'm not a pillow!"

I pushed at both arms holding me down. Tyler laughed and James hugged me tighter.

"Do you feel better? I would hate to leave you alone if you dont." James whispered in my ear.

"James! Go away I'm fine now. Tyler get off! I'm going to die if I don't eat something!"

Tyler jumped up. "Can't have that! Come on James let's go tell Cindy and Roxy she's hungry."

James planted a kiss on my cheek before rolling off my bed and following his brother out of my room. I could hear Tommy giggling in the hall.

"Tommy! I know your out there come on in and tell me what's so funny!" I smiled at his dirty face when he peeked around the wall at me.

His dirt stained cheeks dimpled. "The twins like you too." He frowned. "You didnt give them our movie night did you?"

"No. That's just for us." His eyes brightened and I patted the bed beside me. "Let's have a movie night tonight kiddo. Just me and you."

He jumped on the bed and wrapped his arms around my neck. "We can watch a girly movie! I don't care. I just want our movie night back. You owe me two nights already!"

I ruffled his hair. Dirt flew everywhere and I could literally smell the trees. "Well let's see." I tapped my chin and rolled my eyes. "How about we watch all the seasons of Full Metal Alchemists."

"The cartoon or the movie?" He blinks confused.

"Tommy, you have a lot to learn. Anime is in no way a cartoon, and yes it's the anime series. Duh!" I hugged him, like a teddy bear. "You have to get a bath first or we won't be watching anything. List of things; bath, go eat, and movies! I'll go tell Roxy to get our snacks ready!"

Tommy laughed and pulled me with him off the bed and out the door. "I already told her about the snacks! I'll go get a bath, William is waiting for you."

I paled mentally, but kept my cool trying to keep Tommy happy. "You planned on me saying yes didn't you?" I said with a laugh. The little squirt was smart.

Doors slammed outside and I pulled Tommy to a stop close to the main entrance. I heard William's voice and my heart stopped. Why is he out walking around now?

"Leave your truck here and I'll go get the keys to the skyline R34." William said over his shoulder, as he walked in the door.

Lance's voice sounded harsh as he repiled. "Thanks man."

William glanced at me before heading up the stairs. I wonder what that was about? The look he gave me wasn't one that said I'll be waiting for you. It was more like you're going to do exactly what I say from now on.

"Hey Tommy?" I asked without looking at him. "You think you can go see if the food is ready? I'll be there in a sec."

Tommy let go of my hand and ran off. I walked out the front door and Lance frowned at me.

"Lance I'm..." he cut me off with his glare.

His voice was harsh and cold. "Stop. I don't care. Go back inside and leave me alone."

"But I just..." He raised his hand and shook his head.

He walked up to me with dark cold eyes. My heart raced and I could feel my legs start to shake.

His whispered growl broke my heart. "Jess. Stay away from me. You're nothing to me and never will be. You're just like all the other girls at school. You're easy." He pushed me back with a finger. "You're just a play thing! I was bored and wanted to see how far you would go." My heart shattered more when my back touched the door frame. "I'm done playing with you Jess. Don't ever talk to me again."

Tears fell from my eyes. My throat swelled and breathing was hard. It was a flash back;

"I'm done with you Jess. I'm surprised it only took me two days to get you to love me. You're gonna be a whore like your mother."

I feel numb. No more tears fell. I can literally feel my heart turn black and freeze over. You know what. Fuck it I'm done playing the game I've been thrown into. All I need is food, tv, and music. I never asked for any of this.

"Fuck you Lance." I stomped on his foot and dashed inside.

I shot by William, as he rolled a key chain around his finger. His glasses hid his eyes. I went straight to the dining room where food waited for me. I don't care anymore. They both got hurt, I got hurt. Why are people so mean and stupid!

Tommy looked up at me. "You don't look very good. Are you getting sick?" His face looked clean but his hair still looked muddy.

"No, kiddo. Just some things are better left alone. Grab that plate of brownies and let's start our movie night." I grabbed the plate of sandwiches stuffing one into my mouth. I didn't even see the twins watching from the doorway.

We went up to my room and settled in stuffing our faces. My phone buzzed. It was William.

I ignored him. I don't want to talk to him or anyone. Tommy snuggled up next to me. His blond hair ruffled and wild tickled my arm. The dirt and mud left in it making it stand on end. I didn't care. His face was cleaner, Roxy must have made him wash it. That's all that matters.

My phone buzzed again. This time it was Lilly. Her text was simple.

I'm on my way over!
Love ya!
Lilly<3

Great in less than an hour Lilly and a love struck Haley will be up here wanting to "talk" about my problems. Can't they just all leave me alone to watch anime with Tommy. Damn why do I even have friends? Haley knows when I'm not going to be social, maybe she will explain it to Lilly.

A soft snore caught my ear. I smiled down at a sleeping Tommy. He can never make it past the first episode. Cute little kid. I stuff a brownie in my mouth and sit back on my head board. Full Metal is starting to get boring. I turned it to Violet Evergraden. It's not much better. At least her true love is dead or MIA. Mine was never born.

Haley walked in my room a small frown on her face. I could tell she was worried. Jordan followed her, but he just scooped Tommy up and left. It wasn't long before Lilly came bouncing in. Her eyes where red and puffy. With my teddy bear gone and two girls with large puffy anime eyes staring at me I could help but break down.

"Oh My God! I'm so happy your okay. I had to beg William for hours after Haley told me you got kidnapped by Lance. That boy is so stubborn." She joined me and Haley on the bed wrapping her arms around my neck.

Haley watched me not saying anything. She knew something. Both of them did. I don't care though. Whatever it was they knew I really don't feel like dragging out of them. I really don't want to talk about it either. They both acted like they knew exactly what happened.

"William said, Lance is gone to Race Wars this weekend. Honestly it took me a whole day to break William down, now all I have to do is walk in the door." Lilly tossed her curls over her shoulder. "Now tell us what's wrong. William said you needed us. He's worried because you won't answer the phone or come talk to him."

Haley pulled my head to her shoulder and held me there. My voice was muffled by her hair. "Lance called me a whore and and a toy and told me to leave him alone. He said he was done with me."

Okay maybe, I exaggerated a little bit, but I'm upset don't judge.

My head cracked on the head board, when Haley pushed me off her shoulder. I tried to grab her arm to stop her, but she was gone before I could even reach her. I rubbed the back of my head.

"Damn it! Lilly catch her she'll try to kill him." I pleaded.

Lilly winked at me. "I'll go get her, but I think I want to kill him too." She followed Haley out.

"Damn it! Now I gotta go get dressed!" I muttered to myself as I rolled of my bed and walked to my closet. "Can't they see I don't care." I just want to stay here alone with my tv.

I walked out of my closet to find Jordan, Lilly, and the twins blocking Haley and William from my door.

Lilly looked at me. "William has some explaining to do. Haley just needs to sit so she doesn't kill anyone."

Great explaintions and murder. I cross my arms over my chest and sit on my bed. The twins looked pissed, it was a very different vibe from just a little while ago.

William pushed his glasses up. His bruises clearly visible. "I'll start and get it over with."

The twin crossed their arms over their chest and waited. Obviously they knew more than they let on. Something was definitely wrong and either I live with a Mafia group or I've discovered the host club in dark villain mode.
