[|]"It's not what it looks like," I said, standing to my feet."Uh, I believe I am not blind," Maddy said, looking past me to Lucas before looking back at me."He was trying to get something out of my eyes," I lied and I heard Lucas chuckle behind me."With his mouth?" Maddy asked, a smile on her face. "Come on, Jackie. Have fun. You're weird. Look, I'm hungry and need food. Y'all got anything here?"I smiled and went to the kitchen to make something from what was left over from our breakfast."Don't you have a home or money to eat?" Lucas asked from his spot on the couch and I held myself back from laughing. These two were going to be chaotic if they become closer as friends."Wow, still a jerk as always. Tsk, Jackie hurry up, I'm hungry. I just came from the nail salon and need food," she whined like a child as she came to the kitchen.As I put down a plate, my phone vibrated in my back pocket. I took it out and unlocked the device then opened the message. My heart sunk at the mes

[|]Mature Chapter. Lucas' POVWhen Jackie had said those words to me about being more than just what I was to her, I knew I had to take that as a sign to ask her to be officially mine. It took me a lot of thought to convince myself that I could do it and not feel nervous, even though I was still shaking from nervousness. There was one thing I was scared of, and that was rejection. She had rejected me once in high school and it hurt like a bitch but if she rejected me right now, I would be heartbroken. As I got on my knee with her back turned to me, I waited until she turned around. When she did, her body stiffened and her eyes became wide from shock. "Lucas, what are you doing?" She asked, eyeing my bent leg and then my face.I smiled on the outside but I was feeling restless on the inside. For the first time in my life, I didn't know how to talk to a girl unlike how it was so easy for me to woo girls before I met Jackie. Maybe it was because she was just perfect, unlike anyone I

"Jackie?!" He said my name out loud and moved away from the window, probably to come down.He was with a gun and Tony was laying on the ground, dead with blood spilling around him. Axel had shot Tony and for what reason? Could it be that Axel had been the one behind the assault incident?So many things were going through my head at what I had just seen and the fear that I once felt before, came back tenfold. When I looked back at the building, I rushed to my feet and backed away, afraid of Axel harming me for finding out the truth. I felt heartbroken, I was weak and stunned. What did I ever do to Axel for him to do this to me? At that moment, I started to think back to what Lucas had said about his brother and I began to believe him.I saw a blur of his clothes from a window and I turned around and ran out of the compound. I had to escape from him. He could kill me too. I ran as fast as possible away from the site and stopped behind a parked car on the side of the road. I slid to the

[|]Early the next day, we got a call from the police station about the reports from Axel's case. I was tense and didn't know if I could bear to hear anything the police had to say. It was still difficult for me to grasp the fact that Axel was behind such a thing and it left me with a sleepless night."Are you ready to go?" Lucas asked as he closed the front door of the apartment."Nope," I answered and faced away. My palms were sweaty and my body cold from what was to come. "I don't know how I'll react to why Axel did all of these if it is what the cops have for us. He was part of the people who assaulted me. It's like a nightmare that I have to face yet I'm not ready to."I felt his warm hand on the small of my back and I turned around. I leaned into his body and he circled his arms around my shoulders."I'm here for you," he said. "Besides, we won't be looking at Axel, just listening to the police tell us what we want to know."I smiled and moved out of his hold. I felt lucky to ha

[|]Lucas' POVAfter I had told Jackie to go stay in the car, I convinced myself that what I was doing, I would not regret it. So, I ran after Axel who was about to stop a taxi. I stopped running and then walked up to him. I saw him flinch when I came into his line of vision and he dropped his hand before looking at me from the corner of his eyes."Can we talk?" I asked and he turned his body, facing me.Axel had a straight face on, not showing any signs of emotions which was difficult for me because I couldn't tell if he was ready to talk to me or not."What is it?" He asked and I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling stressed."Can we both let our past go? I know it'll be hard to but I'm tired of what's going on between us. We might not be fully related but after what happened and finding out the truth, I realized there is no need for me to harbor so much negative energy inside of me," I said and Axel rolled his eyes."Did Jackie tell you to do this? Because I know she's capable o
