When Bad Boys Fall II 29
I didn't have anything to say to him. I simply smiled and shrugged."Sorry. I got distracted. This place reminds me of home. Sorry for wasting time. I'll get going now," I said and rushed past him to the living room.I was not comfortable in this place anymore. Something was off about Matt and that picture. Could Matt be related to them in some way? The more this kept unfolding, the more I had to tell Lucas about this."Are you guys ready?" Matt asked as he walked into the living room.I avoided his eyes and stared at the coffee table. My heart was pounding because I didn't want him to be suspicious of me. I needed to get to the bottom of who this man was. My hunch kept telling me to dig further and at the same time, I wanted to question him so bad, but I felt it would not end well or it was just my experience with people that made me not trust anyone."Where's Victor?" Bria asked from her spot across me."Are you feeling okay, Jackie?" Matt asked me as he sat down beside me on the co

Jared’s POVThe sound of my alarm ringing loudly forced me awake with an annoyed groan leaving my lips. I squeezed my eyes for a moment and open them again then stared at the wall of my room. Events of last night came to my mind, reminding me of what had happened and how much I hated thinking of it. Thinking specifically of him.I huffed and sat up on my bed, bunching the blanket around my waist. I glared at my door as Axel, filled my head once again. I didn’t know how and why or when this started but recently, he started to piss me off by getting into my head. It made me want to rip my brain out. I hated thinking of him and I hated the growing warmth I felt in my heart when I was around him. I knew the feeling, it was attraction and I hated it with all my heart.I never told anyone about my sexuality as there wasn’t any need to. My bisexuality was something I never told anyone since the day I fell in love with a high school classmate of mine. I hated it because each man I wanted was

Jackie’s POVI was not sure of what I had heard Jared say. I found it hard to believe everything he said as I could not believe that a person like Barry could hurt Axel. I wanted to not let the anger that was slowly creeping in me to take over as the thought of anyone or anything hurting Axel made me angry.“Is this true?” Axel asked in a quiet tone. He stood beside me with hands clenched and shoulders shaking.Barry said nothing but shoved Jared away. A smirk appeared on their lips. It only made me madder. I could not believe they could do such a thing. Their relationship was something that I always admired yet this happened.“Explain!” Axel hollered.The highness in his tone of voice made me shiver from shock. This was the first time I saw him angry to this extent and I could tell that his heart was broken.“Tell me why you did this. You promised never to hurt me and what happened in the end? You did!” Axel yelled more, body shaking. “I trusted you! I made myself vulnerable for you!

Jackie’s POVI could not believe what I was hearing. Cindy was such a bitch, probably worse than who shall not be named. How could she treat an innocent child like trash? Her behavior made me wonder if she was even related to the child. The child was innocent and it made me furious about how he would grow up with such a mother. At the back of my mind, I pondered on how she took care of him and at that, I remembered the one time she had left him alone at home with me to go out.In anger, I walked into the house and banged the door shut. I noticed her startle at the sound and stand with her baby in her arms. I kept a blank expression on my face as I made my way past where she stood.“What are you doing here? I don’t think you’re supposed to be here,” she said and went around the couch before standing in front of me, blocking my view.“Ge out of my way,” I said and she scoffed.“No. If you don’t leave, I’m calling Lucas.”“And what will you say?” I taunted with a smile. “That I came to b

Jackie’s POVI was at Evangeline's place when I got a call from a stranger that Lucas was in prison. I had thought it was some prank call but when I remembered that Lucas had said something about always landing in jail, I knew it couldn’t be some type of joke. The information had left me disoriented and scared as I did not know why he was at the police station.The moment Evangeline had come home, I pushed Paul into her arms and ran out of the house to ours where I boarded my car and drove off to the police station. All through the drive, I called Axel and Jared, so they knew what was happening and after getting them, they said they were on their way.Once I arrived at the police station, I rushed straight to the officer behind a desk, panting and sweating. He eyed me like I was crazy before I smiled.“Hi, I am here to see someone,” I said and looked around the holding cells that had people in them. I did not see Lucas and got worried.“Who are you here to see?” He asked and I faced h

Lucas’ POVFew hours ago…I was still shaking from the fact that I had murdered someone. Even as I sat in the cell, I could barely think straight. So many things were running through my mind. How would I get out of this? What will happen to the family I was building with Jackie? Who would take care of them? My kid would see me as a father who was in prison for murder, that is if he sees me leave this place if I get punished by the persecutor.My heart was racing every second, making my blood pump from fear. I had no one to save me from such a crime. Even though Jared had teased and made himself my lawyer, the case would end up with a charge heavier than what I was used to as an illegal street racer.I had been so deep in my thoughts that I did not hear when a cop had been calling my name until he banged the bars of the cell, shouting my name. I rose to my feet and watched the cop walk away. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and took some steps toward the iron bars, only to stop when

Jackie’s POVEver since Lucas went to New York which has been just a day, I have been pensive over the recent happenings around us. I barely even slept well last night, coupled with the cries from Paul since I was still with him. My thoughts were filled with what the future will be like, what to expect in the coming days and what life our child will come into as things were beginning to seem unpredictable.At the sound of Paul babbling in his baby language, I smiled and went over to where he lay on the bed. I sat beside him and scooped him up, bringing him to my face. I kissed his puffy cheeks and sniffed his baby scent. He was just so cute, and it pained me that he was related to Cindy who did not care about him at all.“Do you miss your mama?” I asked and nuzzled his nose with mine. He replied with a babble, and I chuckled. “I’m sure you don’t. Alright, let’s go to the kitchen. Time for lunch.”I rose from the bed and propped him on my hip then left the room. Once I got to the kitch

Jackie’s POVI ignored the pain I was feeling in my foot from the shards of ceramic as all my eyes and attention were on the piece of paper in my hand. I read over the information on the small piece of rectangular paper full of the grocery items he had bought and the sum total and his name which was in Matt. J Hamilton. I was confused, while a rush of wonder filled me.How does Matt have the same last name as Lucas and Axel? Did it have something to do with the pictures I kept seeing?I heard hurried footsteps and when I raised my head, I saw Bria, Victor and behind them was Matt. I kept my eyes on Matt who had a blank stare on until his eyes shifted to the paper in my hand and a shadow crossed his face.“Are you okay?” Bria asked and came to me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the mess I made.“You’re bleeding,” Victor said, and I looked down at
