|Shaylee Love|

“So you like him?”

“Yes”

“The full on more-than-friends feeling?”

“Yes”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes Avery I’m pretty damn sure!”

Avery squealed and tackled me onto the bed. I let out a small scream and landed with a soft ‘oomph.’ “FINALLY! Do you even know how long I’ve been waiting to hear you say that?” she demanded. I blushed and shoved her off of me “Shut up Aves” I groaned, sticking my tongue out at her in a childish manor. Avery rolled her eyes and gave me a small smirk “So… when are you going to tell him?” she asked. I threw a pillow at her face and gave her a small glare “Never! That would be so embarrassing!” I exclaimed. Avery rolled her eyes “What are you talking about? It’s obvious that you two are meant to be” she said. I sighed and shook my head “He’s a player Aves, I just don’t want to get my heart broken” I murmured softly. Avery laughed “Really Shay? That’s your excuse? You know as well as I do that’s bullshit, Xavier’s only ever had eyes for you.” She countered.

I sighed “I wouldn’t say that but he hasn’t been with anyone since he got back…” I mused. Avery scoffed and nodded her head “He was never with anyone, he used to be a flirt but he never had any relationships, do you know why?” she pressed, I shrugged and hugged Teddibea to my chest “All the girls at school are witches?” I questioned. Avery chuckled and bumped her shoulder with mine “No, it’s because he finally has the balls to claim what’s always been his” she answered softly, giving me a smile. I scrunched my face up in confusion “What do you mean?” I asked. Avery shook her head “Never mind, now come on we need to sexify you. Got to look good for your man!” she teased instantly springing from a mellow mood to an energetic one. I blushed and rolled my eyes “Avery!” I exclaimed. She giggled and shoved me into the shower “Go and clean up! I have the perfect outfit for you!” she exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes, I would ask more about what she meant later. For now I think it’s best if I just listened to what she said, besides there’s no harm in wanting to look good… right?

* * * * * *

“There is no way in hell am I going to wear that!”

“Good thing we’re not in hell then!” Avery exclaimed happily as she threw the outfit at me. The look on her face told me that there was no way I was getting out of wearing this. “But Avery…” I started, she shook her red head. “No buts Shay, you either wear that or go naked. Your choice” she said. I sighed and stomped towards the closet, shutting the door behind me. I took the outfit and held it against my self as I looked in the mirror. I guess it wasn’t so bad, it wasn’t too revealing either… meh I hate parties. I would much rather stay here tonight, I sighed and began to pull on the outfit. Avery had given me black liquid leggings paired with a grey bralet top that zipped up in the front, the leggings fit to me like a second skin and when I put the top on there was a bit of my stomach showing. I gazed at my feet and smiled at my shoes, they were by far my favourite part. Yeah they were heels but they were awesome, it was a pair of black London rebel studded heel shoe boots. The only down side was that they were at least 5 inches, I was definitely going to fall tonight.

“Shay hurry up and get your ass out here, I still have makeup and hair to do!” Avery shouted. I glanced in the mirror and titled my head slightly, huh… I didn’t look as slutty as I thought I would. I actually looked pretty good. I opened the closet and stepped out from the room. Avery grinned at me, her eyes lighting up in excitement “See! I told you, you’d look good! I would never make you look like a slut!” she exclaimed. I rolled my eyes but grinned at her before sitting down at my vanity. Avery turned me around and gave me a stern look “No looking at yourself until I’m finished” she stated. I nodded my head and closed my eyes, feeling the faint strokes of the brush as she swiped it across my face.

For the most part Avery and I didn’t talk, this was Avery calling. She really wanted to do something with fashion or makeup when we got out of high school and she definitely had the talent to do so. I wonder if Xavier will like my outfit? Would he think I looked like a slut? I bit my lip nervously, oh good he’s going to hate it! What if he never talks to me again? What if he finds another girl he would rather hang out with! What if he calls me a slut and laughs in my face? What of there’s no food at the party!? …Okay so maybe that last one doesn’t really matter but I haven’t eaten since I had ice cream with Sam so my thoughts occasionally strayed to food. I was hungry okay!

Anyways, I don’t think I could handle him doing any of that now that I knew I actually liked the guy. I sighed and slumped in my seat earning a slap to the back of my head from Avery. “Shay! Do you want to look like a monster or do you want to look good!” she chastised. I grumbled and sat in my chair properly. “Hey Aves…” I mumbled. I felt the brush stop for a minute before it started again and she answered “Yes?” she asked. “What if… what if Xavier doesn’t like my outfit?” I asked. It was silent for a minute before Avery chuckled, making a bright blush come over my face. “Don’t be silly Shay, you look good. Xavier would like you even if you wore sweats with a stained t-shirt and had chocolate all over your face” she told me, beginning to work on my hair. I blushed and rolled my eyes, even though she couldn’t see it. “But…” I started. Avery sighed and cut me off “Shay trust me okay? I wouldn’t lie to you. And if Xavier doesn’t like you, which by the way is impossible, then it’s his loss” she told me, squeezing my shoulder in reassurance. I smiled and opened my eyes, giving Avery the biggest smile. This is why she was my best friend.

“Thanks Aves” I said. She grinned and nodded “No problem. Now stand up, you look absolutely stunning!” she praised. I stood up nervously and turned slowly towards the mirror, I gasped slightly and my eyes widened. “That… wow…” I managed to get out. Avery laughed “Okay you ogle at yourself and I’ll go get ready. Liam and Xavier should be coming soon it’s already eight!” she exclaimed before rushing into the bathroom. I giggled and turned back towards my reflection, I had to admit I actually looked pretty good. Avery had done a pretty smoky eye effect on my eyes which made the brown pop out and made my eyes have the mischievous, playful look to them. She also added a bit of blush to my cheeks, finishing the look with blood red lipstick. My hair was pulled over to the right side and curled with little waves.

“Hey Shay– Whoa…”

I whipped my head around and saw Trevor standing in the doorway, his eyes popped out of his head. “What are you wearing?” he demanded, I gave him a funny look. “Clothes…?” I answered, Trevor rolled his eyes “I can see that, but there is far too much skin showing!” he exclaimed. I rolled my eyes “Shut up Trev, she looks fine” Avery said, strolling out of the bathroom. “You! I bet you made her wear this” he grumbled. “We’re going to a party Trevor” she informed him. “Is East coming with you?” he asked. Avery and I nodded while Trevor scowled “Then Shay isn’t leaving the house.” He decided. I rolled my eyes “Like you can stop me” I said. Trevor groaned “Shaylee” he whined like a five year old. “There are going to be boy’s at the party!” he pointed out. I nodded my head “Yes Trevor, usually boys and girls go to a party. Wonderful observation” I said sarcastically.

Trevor sighed “Just… just stay safe okay? Make sure to call me when you get there or at least text me. I know how those high school parties are like” he warned, coming over to give me a hug. I smiled, overprotective fool but I can’t blame him. “I promise” I said, kissing his cheek. Trevor grumbled and wiped his face “I’m going to have a long talk with East. He doesn’t touch you, at all…” He grumbled adding a few more rules as he walked out of the room. I turned around to talk to Avery but gasped slightly. “Wow Aves, you look amazing!” I praised. She was wearing a pair of liquid leggings with a white peplum top, she did the same smoky eyed look on her and her gorgeous red hair was piled in a pretty updo and on her feet were a pair of sparkly silver heels. “Thanks Shay, ready to go down?” she asked. I nodded my head and grabbed my phone, but then realized I had no pockets and placed it back down. “Don’t worry I’ve got mine” Avery said as she tugged me out of the room. I nodded my head and followed her down the stairs.

Xavier and Liam wouldn’t be coming for another 20 minutes so Avery and I decided it would be a good time to eat something and ventured towards my kitchen. My mom and dad were working so it was just us and Trevor who was grumbling to himself as he watched something on T.V. When we reached the kitchen Avery sat on one of the island chairs and gave me a grin. “Now make me something yummy!” she exclaimed. She maybe a whiz when it comes to clothes but in the kitchen Avery shouldn’t be allowed to touch anything, “Yes ma’am” I said sarcastically and gave her a mock salute before I began to heat up some pizza.

* * * * * *

“Avery, Shay! East and Gregory are here!” Trevor called.

Avery instantly sprung up from the table and launched herself from the kitchen towards the living room. I laughed when I heard her shout “LIAM!” before there was a small crashing sound and laughter was heard. I quickly cleaned up the mess before slowly making my way towards the living room. I laughed when I saw Avery lying across a bewildered Liam, both on the floor. “Save it for the bedroom kids” Xavier teased, causing me to laugh. His head snapped over to me and I saw his expression change to something that looked like awe. “Shaylee… you look… wow” he murmured.

My breath caught in my throat as I blushed when our eyes connected, I saw his widen slightly and blushed when they started to roam over my figure. Although I couldn’t really say anything since my eyes were doing the same to him.

I really think it should be illegal for guy’s to look this good, I mean seriously I could one day end up in the hospital because of him! Xavier was wearing a pair of dark coloured form fitting jeans with a brown belt and a dark t-shirt that seemed to mold onto his fit body perfectly. He paired them with an unzipped hoodie and his signature leather jacket while his hair was in its usual sexy mess.

 He looked really, really, really good.

“If you two are finished…” a teasing voice said, breaking us form our ogling. I blushed as Xavier smirked, I turned to glare at Liam who had spoken. “Shut up” I mumbled, wringing my hands together in embarrassment. “Right, before you go I need to talk to Xavier for a minute, the rest of you go outside.” Trevor said, pushing us out of the door. I opened my mouth to protest but Trevor shot me a look that clearly said that there was nothing I could say that would change his mind. Avery and Liam scurried out the door and I gave Xavier a fleeting glance before walking out with them. Were brothers supposed to be this annoying? I sighed and trudged over to Xavier’s car, waiting for him to finish talking with Trevor. “Hey Shay, Liam and I are going to meet you guys there alright?” she said, giggling when Liam wrapped his arms around her. I grinned at the two of them and nodded “Alright, see you there!” I said. Avery got into the car and Liam grinned at me “You look good Shay, knock him dead!” he teased, successfully making me blush before hopping into his car and driving off.

I sighed before leaning against the car, a minute later Xavier stepped out of the house. My brow scrunched up in worry, his expression was grim and there was a hard look in his eyes. I gulped and watched as he walked down the pathway to the car. He stopped right in front of me and I shyly looked up at him through my lashes. It was quiet for a moment before I decided to say something. “Um… hi” I said quietly, cursing myself for how nervous I sounded. Xavier chuckled and brought me in for a hug “Hi Shaybear” he mocked, his warm breath hitting my cold skin and making me shiver. My heart started to beat faster and I felt my cheeks flush and I avoided eye contact when we pulled away. “You look beautiful Shaybear” he whispered. I blushed and gave him a smile “Thanks, you too. Er… but not beautiful since you know you’re a boy and boys aren’t usually classified as beautiful they’re handsome. Well I suppose they could be beautiful if they wanted to… but I mean that’s not really how society makes them out to be since–” and thankfully Xavier placed his hand over my mouth and stopped my embarrassing word vomit.

Xavier laughed and pulled his hand away from my mouth “You good now?” he asked, amusement flickering in his green eyes. I nodded my head “Yeah” I murmured, breaking eye contact out of embarrassment. “Come on Shay we’ve got a party to go to” he said opening the door for me. I blushed, “Thanks” I said as he helped me in, Xavier closed the door and I put my seatbelt on as he walked to the driver’s side. “Ready?” he asked, I nodded my head and gave him a grin “As ready as I’ll ever be” I replied. Xavier grinned back and reversed out form the driveway without saying anything.

I glanced nervously at him as I remembered his face when he walked out of the house. I wonder what Trevor said that got him all worked up. “Hey Zave…” I said slowly, he raised a brow “Yes?” he asked. “Err... um… what did Trevor say to you? You seemed kind of tense when you walked out…” I trailed off, noticing his fingers turning slightly white as he clutched the steering wheel. “Err… it’s nothing just warning me about staying away from you but keeping other boys away from you. You know how Trev is” he explained, giving me a fake smile. I pursed my lips and nodded my head, deciding not to push it. If he wanted to tell me the truth he would, I guess I was a bit upset that he didn’t but maybe there was a good reason…

* * * * * *

I sighed and looked out the window, Xavier and I didn’t really talk after that conversation. We mostly sat in a comfortable silence. When we reached the party my eyes widened to how… wild it was. I’ve been to my fair share of parties but never one as big as this. Michael’s father was the owner of some busy I hadn’t learned the name of and to put it bluntly he was loaded. He always had a beginning and end of the year party but they were never this wild. We were only halfway down the street and I could hear the music pounding from the house… err mansion. I grimaced at the sight of drunk and high teenagers sprawled around the yard.

Why did I agree to come again?

Surprisingly Xavier found a parking spot and we stepped out of the car, I quickly used his phone to send Trevor a quick text before surveying our surroudings. Immediately the scent of alcohol, sweat and sex attacked my senses and my nose scrunched up in distaste. Xavier walked over to my side and I quickly grasped his hand in mine. “Don’t leave me please” I whispered as we slowly maneuvered towards the entrance. Xavier squeezed my hand reassuringly and grinned “Wouldn’t dream of it” he answered, making me grin. Together we walked in and immediately I winced at how loud the music was. I think it was something by The Wanted or Fall Out Boy… I couldn’t actually tell. I looked at the dance floor and saw a bunch of people grinding to the beat of the music. I walked closer to Xavier when I noticed the looks I was getting from some of the guys and even girls. Xavier took our intertwined fingers and brought them over my shoulder and pulled me towards him. My heart burst with joy at our close proximity and I felt safer in his arms.

Xavier tapped my shoulder and pointed towards a corner and I saw my friends all having drinks and talking. I grinned and we walked over to them, I got approving looks from each of the guys and I rolled my eyes. “Lookin’ good Love!” Ryder winked, handing me a drink. I eyed it warily and Avery rolled her eyes “One drink won’t hurt Shay!” she exclaimed. I sighed and took the drink, she’s right one drink won’t hurt. Besides I have Xavier here to keep me in check, he was driving home so he wasn’t going to drink anything. I brought the cup to my lips and took a sip of the bitter drink, my nose scrunched up and my friends laughed at my facial expression.

“Hey guys, I didn’t know you were coming”

I turned and groaned inwardly when I saw Jace standing there giving us a lazy smile. I smiled back and gave him a small wave “Err… Hi Jace we didn’t know you were coming either!” I exclaimed with false enthusiasm. Vaguely I noticed Xavier and the boys move closer to me, sort of like a protective barrier. I didn’t like the way Jace’s eyes roamed my form, I felt way too exposed and I shot Avery a panicked look. She gave me a curious glance before nodding her head “Come on Shay, dance with me!” she exclaimed, clasping my hand in hers. Grateful for the distraction I placed my cup on the table and followed Avery towards the dance floor where we began to dance and have fun together.

“Geez he was looking at you like you were a piece of meat!” she complained, I nodded my head in agreement, only half listening to what she was saying. My eyes were trained on the boys, there obviously was something going on between them because they looked to be in a heated discussion and Xavier looked just about ready to beat the snot out of Jace. I caught Sam’s eye and raised a brow in questioning, he gave me a tight lipped smile before whispering something in Dominic’s ear.  He turned towards me for a second before tapping Xavier’s shoulder and pointing over to me. Xavier’s angry green eyes met my confused brown ones, I watched as he let out a deep breath before giving me a half hearted, reassuring smile. He then turned to Jace to say something before the two of them plus Dominic and Ryder walked away. I watched as Liam and Sam walked towards Avery and I. “Did that seem suspicious to you?” I asked her, Avery gave me a curious look. “Did what?” she asked and I realized she hadn’t seen the whole ordeal that had just happened. I gave her a smile before shaking my head, Liam and Sam came over and gave us each a smile before beginning to dance with us. “Care for a dance Squirt?” Sam asked as Liam whisked his girlfriend away. I nodded my head and placed my arms around his neck as we moved our bodies to the beat of the music. I was only half listening to whatever Sam was saying to me, I really wanted to know what was going on with Xavier and Jace. If no one was willing to tell me what was going on then I would have to take things into my own hands.

And I was determined to find out whatever it was.

* * * * * *

“I’m just going to go to the bathroom!” I called over the pounding music. Sam nodded his head and released his hold on me “I’ll walk you” he said. I shook my head and gave him a look “I think I can walk there by myself, why don’t you find a pretty girl to dance with?” I teased. Sam rolled his eyes and playfully pushed me off towards the bathroom “I’ll be waiting over there” he said, pointing towards the food table. I nodded my head and turned on my foot, trying to find the bathroom. I toed around some of the lightweights who were already passed around until I walked into a wall of muscle.

“Shaylee you came!” said the voice of Michael Forbes. I gave him a small smile and nodded my head “Uh… yeah great party” I complimented. Michael gave me a dashing smile and leaned against the wall beside me. “Thanks, I was hoping you’d like it” he beamed. I gave an awkward smile and shifted on my feet, I really have to pee now. “So I was wondering… are you and East dating?” he asked, trying to look casual as he picked an imaginary piece of lint of his shirt. I felt my cheeks heat up quickly and I averted my gaze to the ground “N– no… why!?” I stuttered out, oh my god was it that obvious that I liked him? I only figured it out for myself last night.

Michael gave me a relived look “Oh well I always see you two together and most of the school assumes that you two are dating or at least like each other…” he said. My eyes widened and my mouth popped open at the news “What? Are you serious?” I asked. Michael nodded his head “But you two aren’t together right?” he confirmed. I slowly nodded my head, shifting my footing once again. Where was that bathroom again? I don’t think Sam told me and Michael doesn’t seem to be any help. “So Shay I was wondering…” he began but I quickly cut him off. “Err Michael could you point me to the bathroom please?” I asked. Michael’s cheeks turned a slight pink and he nodded his head “Oh uh sure, just go up the stairs and turn a left it’s the last one at the end of the hall."

I thanked him and quickly scurried away, as I walked up the stairs I felt kind of bad since I think he was going to ask me out but then again I really wouldn’t have said yes. I trekked up the stairs and found a couple making out just outside a bedroom. I shivered in disgust, it looked like she wanted to eat him! I quickly ran to the bathroom and I was pleased to see that no one was in there. I took my time in the bathroom, I did my business and washed my hands with the sweet smelling soap. Then I fixed up my hair and makeup before deciding it was time to go back out, the door muffled the loud pounding of the music so I winced slightly when I opened the door and the full blast was thrust into my face. I stepped out of the bathroom and began to walk down the hallway but before I got to the stairs a muscular arm trapped me in a bear hug from behind and another wrapped itself around my mouth. My eyes widened as I was pulled into an empty room and thrust into someone’s chest.

My screams were muffled as I thrashed around, trying to get out of whoever’s grip this was. “Mmph mmph!” I cried out, trying to get someone’s attention. I couldn’t see anything, the room was too dark. “Shut up you little bitch!” the person’s voice hissed, my eyes widened and immediately my actions froze. The guy sounded really buff, his voice was so deep and as my hands clutched his muscled arm I realized just how much of a disadvantage I had. I felt my arms being bound by rope before I was thrust onto the bed. I landed softly on the bed but let out a groan when my head hit the headboard, before I could let out another scream a gag made its way onto my mouth. The light was flickered on and I squinted away from the bright light, when my eyes adjusted to the light I found myself looking at two really buff guys. One was a blonde with green eyes and the other was a brunette with blue eyes, even I had to admit they were pretty good looking.

“Well… looks like East’s got himself a pretty one…” Blondie commented, making a move towards me. Xavier? What in the world did he have to do with this? I flinched away as his hand came to brush lightly over my face. “You’re Shaylee Love aren’t you?” blue eyes asked. He seemed to be the one in control, he looked a lot more serious than Blondie. Instead of answering with a nod I just glared at him, he smirked “Cute glare baby doll but this can all go a lot smoother if you just answer my questions” he said. I rolled my eyes baby doll?  I shook my head “Mmph, mmph, mmph” I attempted to say. It should have sounded like a ‘Well screw you’ but the gag really wasn’t helping me. “Just nod your head when we ask you a question” Blondie cooed. I shook my head and glared at them, how the hell had no one noticed a girl getting pulled into a room? I wonder if Sam noticed my absence or if he listened to me and actually found a girl to dance with. I sighed, the one time I need someone with me they all get busy.

Blondie frowned “Come on baby doll” he coaxed, blue eyes bringing out a switchblade. My eyes widened and fear coursed through my veins. I don’t even know what was going on! I wouldn’t be able to answer any questions. Nevertheless I gave a short nod and Blondie and blue eyes smirked. “That’s a good girl, now you are Shaylee Love aren’t you?” he asked. I slowly nodded my head, feeling the tears build up behind my eyes. Oh god, how the hell did they know my name? How were they linked with Xavier? I tried to keep the tears in, the way Blondie was looking at me was making me feel very uncomfortable. I suddenly became very aware of how my shirt had ridden up to just below my bra so my whole stomach was exposed.

Leave me alone! I wanted to shout. Blue eyes smirked and ran a finger up the blade of the knife “Well baby doll we want you to give Xavier a message for our boss” he said, making me jump as he pointed the knife at me when he said the word ‘you.’ He moved closer and sat on the bed in front of me. I made a move to kick him with my legs but blondie was faster and immediately placed his large hands on them, preventing me from moving them. I glared at him and he sent a wink in my direction. I could feel the heat from his hands seeping into my leggings and onto my legs and he was making me very uncomfortable as his hands began to slowly caress me. I shivered in disgust and tried to squirm away.

“Not now Chris” blue eyes snapped. Blondie or Chris as I now know pouted “Come one Jack, let me have a little fun. She’s just so pretty” he whined, tracing my cheek with his hand. I let out a sound of protest and blue eyes or Jack as I now know smirked. “I don’t think she appreciates you touching her” he sniggered. Chris rolled his eyes “She wants me” he said, trailing his hand a little higher up my leg. I glared daggers at him and tried to kick him off, which didn’t work. “Now back to business, we need you to deliver a message to East. Just to make sure you do, we’ll leave you with a little… gift of sorts just to remind you” Jack said, smiling sardonically at me. I gulped and my eyes widened when he brought the knife closer to me “You tell East that we’re tired of playing games, he better hurry up or we’ll do something he won’t like” he murmured, trailing the blade down my face. I winced when I felt it lightly break the skin on my cheek. There was a small drop of blood on the blade and it made me sick to my stomach.

Oh glob that was disgusting.

“Will you tell him that?” Jack asked. I tried to nod my head but I seemed to have frozen. I was scared, here I was tied up on a bed with a gag in my mouth with two strange men with a knife who seemed to know Xavier.  Jack and Chris stared at me for a minute before Jack dug his hand into my wrist and made me let out a small whimper of pain. “Answer me when I’m talking to you!” he seethed. My senses came back and I frantically nodded my head in agreement. I had lost feeling in my wrist and I whimpered when he threw my wrist back at me, there would definitely be a bruise there tomorrow. “Good, now are you ready for your gift?” he asked, giving me a smirk. Chris shook his head “But she agreed” he said. Jack shrugged “I don’t care, the boss said to give it to her anyways. It’ll show East that we mean business.” He stated. Chris nodded his head in agreement “Fucking pussy” he hissed, I assumed he was talking about Xavier and I glared at him.

“Don’t give me that look baby doll, there’s probably a lot you don’t know about East” he told me. I couldn’t help but attempt to frown, he was right. There was a lot I didn’t know about Xavier, like what in the hell he had to do with any of this. I sighed, things were beginning to get a bit complicated. I shifted a bit on the bed and winced when the ropes dug into my skin, I most definitely had rope burn. There was no doubt about it, I could also feel the soreness at the corners of my mouth from the stupid gag. My eyes widened and I began to attempt to scream in protest when Chris pushed me down on the bed so I was lying down and straddled my waist. I began to thrash my body around in an attempt to shove him off of me. Chris quickly clamped me between his legs and pinned my wrists to the bed beside my head.

Jack moved so that he was sitting next to me and trailed the knife down my sides, breaking a bit of skin as it made its way towards my hip. My eyes widened when I felt he tip of the cool metal press into my hot skin. “Sorry baby doll but this is going to hurt, a lot” Chris said as he gave me a small grin. I cocked my head to the side slightly as if asking what was. I looked over at Jack and he was smirking “This should get our message across, you have such nice skin” he said, trailing a hand across my exposed abdomen. I shivered and that’s when I felt the blade being pressed harder into my skin. A muffled scream made its way past my lips and tears sprung to my eyes. Oh my god they were cutting me! My body jerked as the metal was dragged through my skin, the pain was unbearable. It felt like he was pressing the blade deeper and deeper into my side with each stroke, I tried screaming but he gag just muffled everything. “You look really hot like that” Chris commented. Sick bastard! I didn’t even try to answer him, I couldn’t even if I wanted to. The tears were pouring from my eyes and the more I thrashed the more Chris leaned onto my body to stop me.

I felt each cut as he began to trace the mark he just made. I whimpered and chocked on a sob, why was this happening? I was so confused, I wished Xavier was here. Where was he? Where were the boys? Did Jace have something to do with this too? My head was spinning, between the pain, the confusion and the metallic smell of blood I knew I was going to pass out soon. “Are you done yet? I just want to get the fuck out of here” Chris complained. Jack let out a breath “Shut the fuck up, I’m going as fast as I can. The pretty lady deserves a pretty carving don’t you think?” he teased. Both men laughed and I tried to glare, but the tears were blurring my vision and I didn’t know what else to do. I tried to keep my screams in and stayed silent for the rest of the time, the tears poured down my face like a waterfall and Chris attempted to soothe me by caressing my arms. I jerked away from his touch and felt a white hot searing pain. “Fuck! Keep the bitch from moving would you!” Jack hissed. Chris shrugged “Ops, sorry.” he said, not sounding sorry at all.

Finally I felt the blade being removed from my skin and by this point I was overcome with exhaustion, Chris removed himself from my body but I had no more energy to even try to get up. Every breath I took there was a stab of pain to my side and I winced each time. I chanced a look at Jack and immediately felt nauseated at the sight of my blade. There was just so much blood… so much of my blood. Jack wiped the blade on the bed and I felt my vision begin to blacken slightly, but I didn’t lose consciousness. “Very nice, it definitely suits her” Chris complimented. Jack grinned before turning to me “Well, you get that message to East alright? See you soon Shaylee and just for good measure” he said before running the blade across my skin in several more places. Then he slinked from the room. Chris turned to me and smirked he leaned down and kissed my cheek, letting his lips linger there. “Red is a beautiful colour on you, I do hope to see you soon baby doll” he whispered before walking out as well.

The lights turned off and I closed my eyes as fresh tears formed. What should I do now? I was bound and bleeding, I was 99% sure that I was about to pass out any second. I didn’t chance a look at my side since I know I would have passed out from the sight of the blood. I don’t know how much time had passed but it seemed like hours before the light turned on once again. I was slowly moving consciousness and barely heard a voice say “I found her!” it sounded just like Ryder, immediately I felt someone lightly take the gag off my mouth and the ropes as well, it felt good to be free but there was a slight stinging on my wrists and mouth.

 Footsteps made their way into the room and I heard quite a bit of swearing before I found myself surrounded by my boys, save for Xaiver. “Fucking bastards, they are going to pay” a familiar voice stated angrily. “Xavier…” I mumbled weakly, why was the light so bright? It was really beginning to hurt my eyes. I could barely feel the pain in my side and I didn’t know if that was because someone was tending to it or because of something else. I heard some shuffling before a pair of emerald eyes were looking down at me. “Don’t worry beautiful, I’ll take care of it” he murmured, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I groggily looked up at him “I’m… I’m… so tired” I murmured, my eyes closing for a second before I opened them again. Xavier shook his head and ran a comforting hand over my hair “Shaybear you can’t fall asleep, I need you to stay with me alright?” he murmured. I shook my head slightly “I…I can’t” I whispered, my eyes closing once again as my vision blackened. My eyes popped open when I felt someone press something to my injured side. A scream tore it’s way from my throat and immediately I was engulfed in a familiar spicy smell. “We’ve got to get her out of here” Sam’s voice said. My hands clutched onto the leather jacket my head was buried in, this was definitely Xavier.

“Dominic go clear the party out so we can take her” Xavier ordered. There was more shuffling and I assumed Dom had left. “Avery can’t see her like this so make sure Liam takes her home. Tell her we already left or something” he said to someone else. I heard the leave the room as well. I think Sam and Xavier were the only one’s left since Sam is the only one with a medical ability. “Xavier…” I whispered as another wave of exhaustion hit me. “Hm…?” he murmured. “They… they… said…” I whispered, trying to get the message out before I passed out. I might forget what it was tomorrow morning so I need to tell him now. That’s what passing out did to me, sometimes I forget the events of the previous day or night. “Who said?” Xavier asked, I closed my eyes for a minute before weakly moving my head back so I could look into his comforting eyes. He looked so worried “I… I’m sorry…” I whispered. Xavier shook his head “You have nothing to say sorry for, who gave you a message princess?” he asked, giving me another small kiss on the forehead. “J… Jack… and… Chris…” I told him. “The… they… sa… said…” I whispered. I had to hurry, black spots filled my line of sight and a wave of dizziness hit me. I took a deep breath and with my remaining energy relayed the message to him.

“We’re tired of playing games, he better hurry up or we’ll do something he won’t like”

I caught a glimpse of angry green eyes before the world went dark and I slipped into the black abyss of unconsciousness.
