All Chapters of JAGGED: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

DEVONNE’S POV “Did you guys crash into someone?” I asked Josh. “Uhm yeah, it’s one of my classmates” he croaked and I had to get him some water. Helping him up a bit so he can gulp it down. The boy came over and peered into Josh’s face “you don’t even look hurt” he said then turned to me “Hello, I’m Norman, since he’s awake now, shouldn’t you call the doctor?” I just stared. Josh had just been declared dead and now he’s alive and completely healed, not even a bruise on him. What will I tell the doctors? I panicked for a split second. “You’re not mad you got hit?” Josh asked his friend tentatively. “What? No, It was an accident and we made it out alive, Tyler didn’t” his friend replied. Josh flinched at this new information, of course he didn’t know. “What do you mean Tyler didn’t?” He asked, trying to sit up further, but groaned in pain and laid back down. Nathan got into the room at this point, when he saw Josh, he put one hand to his mouth and shut his eyes real tight, but I s

DEVONNE’S POV“I wasn’t sure what to make so I made Bacon and Eggs with some herbal tea” Nathan said as he shouldered his way into my room with a tray about an hour later. I opened one eye and shut it back. “I know you’re awake Devonne” he chuckled. I sighed and tried to sit up, he quickly set the tray on the table and rushed to help me up “It was just one spell, why are the effects so adverse” I grumbled. “You brought someone back to life, however the fuck you were able to do that. Now I’m not the most versed in all things witchy but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to lose your life to give another life” “A spell so powerful it can only be used once” I muttered, recalling the strange lady’s words, “that’s why my mother had looked so surprised” “You also have tales to tell” He said, placing the tray of food on my lap. “Yeah, I guess” he sat beside me on the bed, as I began to eat “I hate herbal tea, why’d you have to make herbal tea?” “Because it will help you with the pain and

DEVONNE’S POVMY Dad came by later at night, Nathan in tow, looking very exhausted. I had my Mom move me downstairs again for dinner and so I could watch TV. “Where have you two been?” I asked in an accusatory tone “we had some work to take care of” my Dad replied. “I need to see Bri and Josh tomorrow Dad” I told him and he sighed “can we….. talk about this tomorrow? I’m sorry Dev but I’m beat and I really need to start heading home now”. I frowned at him “aren’t you gonna stay here?” He cleared his throat awkwardly “uhm, no….I ah. I just have to go” “Me too” my Mom blurted from where she was seated and I narrowed my eyes at both of them. “I’ll stay here with you Devonne, I don’t have anything doing at home anyway” Nathan said a bit quietly. I opened my mouth to ask questions but Nathan just cut me off. “They haven’t rested at all Devonne” and I immediately felt guilty. “Okay” I just said and watched them both walk out after each giving me a kiss on the head. And then I was alone

DEVONNE’S POV THE next day I was all dressed up and ready to go to work in green blazers and a tight skirt that came to stop mid thigh. Inappropriate? Well…that’s why I own the place. I pulled on my knee high heeled boots. I straightened my hair and let it down, applying some red gloss and blotting it with a tissue. Then I stepped out putting on a pair of sunglasses on my way to the car. I didn’t bother with jewelry except a wrist watch and a simple gold chain. When I arrived at the office, I received quite the welcome from my secretary, rattling off appointments and stuff that I needed to do. Sometimes I wonder if Sansa was human. But well, there’s only so much I can do about her being so good. Everything was going well, until I stepped into my office to find it filled with flowers. There were flowers everywhere, including on my desk, flowers of every kind and every color. At least a path was created for me to walk to my desk. Which as I finally looked up, was occupied by a certai

DEVONNE’S POV“Nuh uh, we’re taking my car”. I swear if looks could kill… yeah Arian would be dead, “but I like my car just fine” I protested and made to unlock my car but the keys were snatched from my hands. “Hmm, let’s just say, I’m not really comfortable with you driving any vehicle that I’m gonna be in” he said, holding the keys out of my reach. I eventually gave up and folded my arms. “You act like Ava when she doesn’t get what she wants” he chuckled and went to open the passenger door of his SUV for me. “You know what Arian?” I said as I got in “hmm?” “I refused to be annoyed by you today…” he laughed, shutting the door. “Glad you find me amusing” I muttered under my breath. We arrived at my Mother’s house, and just as we got there, it dawned on me that I never called to tell her that I was coming over. And most certainly not that I was bringing this hulking idiot with me. Oh well… guess we just might get it over with, I thought stepping out of the car. I was almost at the d
