Amelia's POV

"You going somewhere?", my ex, Andre, asked. A smirk etched into his seething lips. The same lifeless eyes that I remember from months ago, staring back at me. "What are you doing here?", I growled. "Awe. You didn't miss me?", he feigned sadness. "Not for a fucking second", I deadpanned.

He placed his hand on his chest as if I hurt his feelings. "You aren't supposed to be here", Katy said, standing behind me. "yOu ArEn'T sUpPoSeD tO bE hErE. Heha. Shut up, bitch", he mocked. "Hey! Don't fucking talk to her that way", I snapped, taking a step towards him.

"He really did a number on you didn't he, sweetpea", he said, reaching up and touching my bruised cheek. I slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me, or call me that", I growled. I watched as his eyes grew darker. There's the real him. Never going to change.

"Oh. You have nerve now. It's only been four months. You've changed that much?", he sneered. "Why are you here, Andre?", I asked again, doubling down on my boundaries

  • The Only Survivor   Chapter 21: I've got you, little one

    Amelia's POVI flipped through the tv for something to watch, while I waited for a comment from the abnormally quiet Chief, who sat next to me. After chosing criminal mind, I peered up at Jaxon. He stared at the television. He looked like he was sorting through a million files in his head. "During your interview six months ago, an incident was brought up about a hospital visit that you had", he uttered, making my heart drop. "You were admitted to the hospital for third degree burns on your lower back, buttocks, and upper thighs. You also had burns of sorts, consistent with rope or duct tape, on your wrists and ankles. You told the hospital, when it happened, that you sat in a bathtub that you didn't realize was too hot. When the incident happened six months ago, you straight told investigators that you didn't remember what happened that sent you to the hospital. I heard that with my own ears", he spoke every detail as if it happened yesterday. By now, my heart was in my throat. Jax

    Amelia's POV"Damn it. You have to be careful with that", Jaxon sighed, relaxing his hand by his side. "Easy killer", Katy chuckled. "Did you say something to Nate?", she asked, concerned. I shook my head with a frown. "No, not really. Why?", I asked. "He just seems off. He's acting like he wants to go home now", she commented, walking over to the fridge to get a drink. I jumped down from the counter and started making plates for Jaxon and I. "I'm sorry to hear that", I said, feeling bad for my best friend that her boyfriend is a piece of shit. Jaxon placed his hand on the small of my back, as he reached around me to take the plates from my hand. Katy sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I think we are going break up, Ames", she whispered. "Why?", I asked. I had a feeling on why, but didn't want to speculate. She shrugged her shoulders. "Call it a gut feeling", she said. "Goodnight", she called out, walking away. "Why haven't you told her?", Jaxon asked, sitting at the

    Amelia's POVJaxon looked through the peephole before sighing with relief. "It's one of my men", he assured me. He unlocked the door and opened it, keeping his weapon at his side. "Chief, got a minute?", the officer asked. Jaxon holstered his weapon and stepped aside to let him in. I walked back to the stove to give them some privacy. Though, I could still hear their entire conversation. "One of the neighbors reported a suspicious vehicle driving slowly up and down the road", the officer said. "Did they get a license plate number?", Jaxon asked. "No, but we got a description", the voices grew louder, as Jaxon led them into the kitchen. "Miss June", the officer greeted me. "Amelia, this is my Sergeant, Steven Hughes", Jaxon introduced. "Nice to meet you", I nodded, feeling like a fish out of water. "The decription", Jaxon prompted. "Oh, it's a red or maroon, four door SUV, maybe a Jeep", Sergeant Hughes answered. "See if anyone has any doorbell footage of it. It's a start", Jaxon del

    Amelia's POV"Did you enjoy the show, princess?", he winked. Without thought, I drew my fist back and clocked him in the jaw. "Put your fucking shirt on, or you can fucking go home", I hissed, as he stumbled backwards and clutched his face. "You just going to let her do that, Chief?", he asked, looking up at Jaxon in disbelief. "I don't know what you are talking about", Jaxon's voice was void of emotion. I pushed past Nate, shouldering him out of the way. I went to the kitchen and started pulling a meat out to cook."Amelia", Jaxon said, walking up behind me. "I know. I need therapy", I said, placing a frying pan on the stove. "Actually, I was going to say that was a good jab. But your form needs some work", he voiced. I turned around, catching sight of his panty-melting smirk. "How?", I asked curiously. "Put 'em up", he instructed, holding his fist up. I did the same. "Swing", he commanded. "What?", I questioned, confused. "You heard me. Swing", he reiterated, raising his brows at

    Amelia's POVJaxon scanned the parking lot one last time as he opened the passenger door for me. He shielded me as I got into the seat, and slyly locked the door as shut it. Safely in the vehicle I looked around to see if I could spot anything out of the oridinary. I was so focused on looking around that it scared me when Jaxon opened the driver's door. "Just me", he assured me. He locked the doors a second time, once he was settled. He placed his gun on his leg as he started the SUV and put it in gear. "Are you alright?", he asked. My anxiety was high, causing visible reactions out of me. "Yeah", I lied, not wanting to burden him farther. The man is already ensuring I make it to and from work safely. He's going above and beyond to guarentee my safety and make sure I feel safe. I kept my eyes out the window, but I could feel his gaze drifting back to me. Every time he would look over at me, my body would warm up. "I know this is stressful", he uttered soothingly. "But, it too shall

  • The Only Survivor   Chapter 16: I think he's near

    Amelia's POVI made my way to my tables to check on my guests. Mrs. Burch had me covered though. She kept my customers happy while I was pulled away. I walked back to the counter as Jaxon was coming out of the back. He gently touched my side as he stopped next to me. "I'll bring this back when I come to pick you up", he whispered, holding the phone in my view. "Okay", I nodded. The diner closed at 8, but I was scheduled till 9 so that I could help close the restaurant down. "Are you okay, dear?", Mrs. Burch asked, concernedly, as I washed dishes. "Yes ma'am. Just a little distracted", I mustered her a gentle smile. "That's understandable. But, don't let it make you forget to live the life you have been blessed with", she spoke with love and wisdom. "I'll try", I assured her. "You're ride is here", she smirked, nodding at the door. I looked behind me to see the Chief waving to be let in. I walked over to the door and unlocked it. "You're early", I greeted him. He looked at me confuse
