"I don't know I guess we can get ready at my place" I answer as I get out grabbing my bags then start walking to the building.
"Okay I'll go grab something's from my place while you go ahead and jump in the shower, just please don't get your hair wet it's better to style when it's dry" he hands me his bags and runs off in the direction of his apartment and I head up stairs to mine. Walking in I place his bags down on the couch and mine on my bed then strip before taking a quick shower. I almost forgot and got my hair wet but then scolded myself for it telling myself not to wash or wet my hair. Once I'm done I get out dry myself off and pull my robe on. Walking out of the bathroom I see Sean sitting on the couch already dressed in a nice pair of black slacks and a dark green button down shirt with his hair looking messy but nice messy and like always he looks good. Sean reminds me of that gay best friend you see in movies where the main charecter has a crush on him and would date him if the chance ever came up but at the same time wouldn't because it would distroy their friendship and turn them into strangers. "How do you feel about a lavender marriage" I ask lost in my thought about how I'd date my gay best friend or marry him just so I don't have to die and old hag surrounded by ten cats that can't wait for me to die so they can eat my face off before turning against themselves in the fight to survive. That got extremely morbid. "Tempting but no" he says wrinkling his nose at me. "Now it's bout time damn girl you took forever" I look and the small clock on the bed side table and see I was only in the shower for 10 minutes. "I only took 10 minutes don't be so dramatic it's only 6:30" I say plopping myself down on the furry rug in front of my big mirror and start taking out my good make-up because why not. "Hurry up and get ready while I do your hair" I may have forgotten to tell you Seans a hair dresser now. He got his cosmetology license last month and quickly found a job at one of the high end salons downtown and has been booked solid for the next three months, I'm very proud of him and all the hard work he's been putting in to save up and gain all the experiance he can to one day open his own salon. Ever time we go somewhere he likes to do my hair, he won't let me just put it up in a ponytail like he did today and even though he said fine to me going out the way I did he still found a way to end up styling it even if i wanted to slap him for it. I quickly get dressed then apply my make up. I go for a somewhat natural look with just a little bit of glam with a dark lip, I don't really ever wear lashes but today I do I use a more natural set that's not to full and dramatic and let me tell you they where just what my look needed to pull it all together. Sean does my hair is a messy updo with soft curls then carefully pulls out a few small tendrils to frame my face. I look at myself and can't believe the girl looking back is even me.I find myself looking back on the way our journey started and where we are now.Ace, Ares, Asher and Alex hadn’t been something I was looking for in my life. Id been living my life as a shell of a girl who’s every second was borrowed time.I lived pain and agony, I lived through tears and wished for death but and angle in all her stubborn glory came crashing into my life and became my best friend and now sister in law.The day I walked out of the coffee shop and I to the back seat of a nice expensive black SUV and caught a glimps of the driver I knew I both wanted to be close to him and far away from him at the same time.Then I walked in to a mansion and felt the very air in my lungs leave my body as I caught the eyes of four men. They soon became my worlds.I could of given up when I was taken by Ares crazy ass fucking ex girlfriend, I could of gave up on wanting to return to them and given in to Masion and his crazy deaminated mind but I knew that my live was meant to be lived by t
One Year later-I sit on a chair in the cool autumn morning with a cup of chamomile tea, enjoying the relaxing vibe before Ava, Jax and Apollo wake up and in turn waking up Athena and Marquez in doing so.Athena and Marq were unexpected surprises we found out about when I was shot a year ago when we ended the war between Alexi and our families.Ares made a slow recovery but thankfully hasn’t had any real issues other then a small limp when he’s outdoing it on his feet. Alex being Alex has worn his scars like a badge and makes it a show when ever Jax and Apollo play guns (not something I want them to play) but giving the lives we live its never to early for them to learn.Ava has become Ravens butt tag and follows her around into even the goriest of triage when men and women come into the infirmary after the occasional gun or stab wound.And me well I am finally living a life of pea….“Mommmmy”“Mom”“Ma” I hear from the bedroom and let out a slow grown knowing that my moment of peace
Not wanting to waste a single second I lunge forward and tackle Alexi to the ground and stand punching erratically not caring that my aim hits the cement beneath us a few times. The pain is nothing at this moment, all I see is red as I toss punch after punch to them I’m now straddling.I hear gun fire, yelling and explosions going of around me as I continue to punch. I feel the burning pain of what I’m assuming is a bullet or possible scrap metal hitting my left hip but don’t stop. I don’t stop until I feel myself being pulled up.“Sapphire”“Saph”“SAPPHIRE” the person yells as I try to get out of their hold to continue my anger filled rage on Alexi who’s now still on the ground covered in blood, surrounded by Dimitri and a few other men.At the realization that Dimitri is crouching next to Alexi I let my body go limp in whoever’s holding Me’s hold.“Shh, I got you; it’s okay baby, I got you” I soothing voice says as I shake and cry as the adrenaline I felt is now leaving my body.“G
“You think that they will come save you” he says with a chuckle then pulls his phone out of his pocket sides his fingers along the screen a few times then shows it to me. On the screen is a blazing building with Indigo, Sean, Ava and Jax sitting on the ground next to a body I cant make out while others are running in and our of the burning building, some helping people out some helping to try to put out the flames.Fear spikes as I realize Apollo isn’t with his sister and brother, fear spikes and washes over me as I watch the video and watch as Indigo screams and cries as she tries to get out of Sean and another guards hold to go back into he building.Among the bodies on the ground I only recognize one, maybe two but they are not Roman, Dimitri, Ares or Alex. It could be a good thing that I don’t see them, it could mean that they are safe and possible have been moved to a safe place.Ace and Asher might not even be there and they are at another location or out doing work. Arabella is
It's always said that there’s a silent calm before a storm.A wave of unsettling ease before the inevitable happens.A eerie stillness before havoc.Now is that moment.The nights to still and my dadas men are all chilling around playing cards, drinking and joking as if the worlds all roses and rainbows. They sit around and sleep as if they are home with their own families on some calm vacation where they have nothing to worry about other then what they will have for lunch the next day.They all act as if Ares and Alex being out of the war is the best thing ever, as if with two out of the four being injured and not able to do anything has won them this little game of power.Ares maybe the silent force behind the war but it’s Asher they should fer the most, he's a shadow that goes bump in the night. A still figure that hides in the cracks like a deadly creature waiting to make its kill.Ace is the very definition of psychopath if you look it up in the dictionary, he may ace first on i
My ears ring and my lungs burn as I struggle to blink, I remember the explosion and the feeling of extreme satisfaction I felt as I watched Mason’s body fall to the ground with a thud after putting a few rounds of lead bullets into his body.The fear that came after as the room started to shake from the power of the multiple explosions going off around me and the force on which I was dragged out of the room by masked men have me struggling to jump up as my flight of fight instincts try to kick in.Is Alex, okay?Did they all make it out alive?Will I die before I find out?Is Vlad, the brother I never knew I had alive? Did Raven or another family doctor save his life intime or did he bleed out before they could get him to a med team?“Glad to see your awake” I hear come from some dark shadowed corner of what I’m assuming is some sort of warehouse.“Glad to see your still alive” I croak sarcastically as I strain my vision to see if id mentally matched the voice correctly.“Not even the
