64: Contemplations of Murder
Jillie
The pieces began to come together, and I got mad all over again. I pulled my arm away from Jarren, slowly this time, so as not to hurt myself. I then grabbed his wrist and proceeded to drag him out of the kitchen and down the many hallways until we came to what used to be his bedroom. I pulled him inside. Letting him go, I walked over and sat on the bed.
He stood, leaning against the closed door. It was quiet for a moment. I was waiting to see if he would just come out with it. When he didn’t, I began to rub my temples.
“Explain,” I stated, closing my eyes.
“What exactly do you want me to explain, Piccolo?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, Jarren. Why is Duncan here? Because I’m sure you have some idea. Why didn’t you tell me that he wasn’t human?”
“Now really isn’t the time

JarrenStorming down the hall, I was more than pissed. I also felt guilty for lying to Jillie, but my anger was overriding that feeling. I threw the door to my father’s office open and walked in to find him sitting behind his desk while Duncan sat opposite him. They both looked up at my entrance as the door hit the wall.“No, I refuse,” I stated, ignoring Duncan and staring straight at my father.“Hello to you to, son.” My father stated sarcastically.“It’s not happening,” I told him firmly, crossing my arms over my chest.“Duncan, could you give us a moment?” My dad asked as he stood from his desk. Duncan nodded, and my father walked him to the door. He closed it behind him before turning to me. “Sit,” he demanded.I sat down as he asked and waited for him to sit before opening my mouth to speak. I couldn’t get a word out as my fathe

JarrenI stalked back over to the bed, seething. I pulled the covers off of Jillie and slid back between her legs, pulling myself free of my shorts. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind, I knew I shouldn’t have been doing this while I was this enraged, but I also couldn’t stop myself as I buried myself deep in one thrust.Jillie moaned as her breath hitched. Pulling almost entirely out, I snapped my hips and plunged back into her. It wasn’t long before my movements became too fast to be considered human. By this point, the only sound coming from Jillie was short breaths, yet my anger persisted. I was more than pissed that he’d walked in on us.The more I thought about it, the more out of control my movements became, and the more anger I put into each thrust. I knew I should have tried to calm down or to stop all together, but I couldn’t. I was losing control of myself, and it was too late for me to try

Jillie I sank into the hot water and allowed myself to relax. The bruises on my thighs were starting to fade, and the soreness between my legs finally disappeared after a few days. It was safe to say that Jarren hadn’t touched me intimately in that time and wouldn’t for a while. He felt terrible about what happened, and I couldn’t be too mad at him, but he scared the hell out of me when he reacted that way. There wasn’t really much I could say. Jarren had been giving himself hell about it ever since. I could see the guilt in his eyes every time he looked at me or caught a glance at the fading bruises. Even after repeatedly telling him I was okay and that I wasn’t mad at him, he still wouldn’t let it go. He was suffocating me with affection.

Jarren We stayed at the restaurant for a little longer before leaving. The ride back to my house was silent, and I knew Sage was thinking. I just hoped she figured out whatever she needed to do in order to mend her relationship. It would take work on Rian’s part as well. I’d promised myself that I would stay out of it, but if they didn’t get it resolved, I would have Jarren ask Mason to talk to him. I leaned over and hugged Sage when we pulled up to my house. I wanted to let her know that I was here for her if she needed me, no matter what. Once I walked into the house, arms wrapped around my waist, I couldn’t see them because my back was to them from closing the door. I looked down at their hands and started to laugh.&l

JarrenI watched as Jillie left the room and went to follow her, but I was stopped when Mina stood up and shook her head at me. I knew I needed to stay here and finish this conversation, so I allowed her to go check on Jillie. I looked at the computer screen, and Kaileeh had a worried look on her face.“She’s fine,” I told her, trying to reassure her and myself.“So, who’s going?” Christen asked. “I think I’d be able to smuggle three of you in at the most.”“I’m going,” Xander stated without hesitation. Christen nodded before looking at me.I sighed. “I was hoping Garret would go,” I replied. “I know Jillie doesn’t want me t

JarrenI was putting the final touches on Jillie’s birthday dinner. We were celebrating, just the two of us tonight. She’d told me she didn’t want anything over the top, and I promised I wouldn’t, but we were having a small gathering of family and friends this weekend.I set the table and light a few candles before dimming the lights. I wanted this to be perfect. There’s been nothing but stress the past couple of weeks, and I wanted her to have a chance to sit down and relax.I could hear her moving around upstairs, and I knew she was getting antsy. I had forbidden her to come downstairs, and if I knew Ji

Jarren“Jarren, you promised,” Jillie stated as we pulled up to her parent’s house.There were more cars than I thought it would be, but I had prepared myself for much more. Maybe Teya did take what I said into consideration after all. I parked the car before getting out and heading around to Jillie’s side. I took her hand and led the way up to the door. We bypassed knocking and walked straight inside. There were voices coming from the kitchen as we made our way towards it.“Jillie!” Teya exclaimed, rushing to us. She all but knocked me out of the way to get to Jillie. Of course, everyone else in the room thought that was hilarious.&nbs

JillieI was utterly confused. Jarren was acting odd, and I had no idea what that was supposed to mean, but I knew how to find out. Turning, I began to head into the room but stopped only a few steps over the threshold. Air trapped itself in my lungs. Even with his back to me, I would know him anywhere.“Aaden,” I stated softly.“Happy birthday, baby girl.” He responded, turning to me.“What are you doing here?”He smiled slightly. “I haven’t missed a birthday you’ve had since Kindergarten.”“I thought you said-”“I know what I said,”he said, cutting me off. “Let’s just say that Jarren can be very persuasive when necessary.”He finished rubbing his jaw.I sat on the bed and just stared at him for a moment. I would have to
