There's only so much you can handle... and then there comes that point where you feel like you don't have a firm grip on anything anymore.
"Don't freak out... he's alive," Logan nervously chuckles. I guess he noticed me staring at all the blood on his shirt.
"Yeah, he's all chained up and fine." Alex backs up Logan; who is just as nervous as him.
"Jack, What is he doing here?" I calmly asked.
"You said sorry was just a word. You said to try harder, this is me trying harder."
"By kidnapping Jayce Calaway!"
"Well yeah, I thought you might want some answers. So I brought him here to you guys."
"Take him back!"
"What?" Nick spoke up finally.
"I don't want him in this house, take him back." I poked Jacks chest. "I don't want answers, I don't want him and I defiantly don't want you."
"Zoe, let's think about this." Logan placed his hand on my shoulder ease me.
"I already thought-
I stopped myself once I heard moaning.
He's waking up.
Without hesitation I quickly left the room, Watching from the other side. The guys quickly followed behind before Jayce could see us.
Before I spoke I pressed the mute button so that he couldn't hear our conversation.
"Jack, we don't know what we're dealing with. He works for the Black Dragons, unknown territory."
"I'll take full blame. You just worry about getting answers out."
"I don't want answers!"
"Jack, give us a minute." Jordan draped his arm over my shoulder. He nods and leaves the room, giving us a moment to process. "This could be good, Zoe."
"Yeah, we can finally get the answers we need." Nick gestures to Jayce. Who was looking around, trying to fight the chains.
"No."
"Zoe, don't you want to know why he left us? How he's alive." Alex walks on the other side of Logan to make sure I was looking at his face.
"Alex is right, dont you want that?"
"NO, I don't... I don't care."
Logan finally snapped, slightly annoyed of my stubbornness, "You don't wanna know because you don't care? Or you don't wanna know because you're too scared?"
Scared.
I'm too scared.
"We'll do it." Jordan suggests.
"Yeah, we'll take care of everything." Nick assures. "You won't even know he's here."
I look at each and every one of them and their eyes had one thing in common. Hope, they had hope in their eyes, they sparkled. Which is what I'm afraid of. I don't want them finding out the truth and it hurts them.
"Please, Z." Alex begs grabbing my hand.
"Fine... but you cannot let Jade find out. Not yet, okay?"
Alex screamed and picked me up, kissing my cheek. Once he put me down, Nick and Jordan kissed my cheek on each side before they went out to meet Jack.
"Thanks." Logan smirks causing me to roll my eyes.
"Yeah...yeah." He laughs and leaves the room. I glance at Jayce, who was screaming while fighting the chains.
I hope I'm not making a mistake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your making a big mistake!"
Yep, I knew it.
"Excuse me?"
"You need to stop smoking and alcohol, it's killing you slowly." Jade scolds, attempting to snatch my joint from my hand. "You need to sober up."
"She won't give it up." Ryder snickers.
"Who's that... Ryder!" She looks at my phone, revealing a shirtless Ryder on the other side of the camera phone. "Shut up!"
"Don't you have practice to go to?" I change the subject, winking at Ryder through the camera.
"Aye, I saw that... no changing the subject!" Ryder and I laughed. "If you don't stop I'll start!"
Ryder and I both went silent, I stared at her. I switched the camera so it show her. Now we both laid in our beds staring at her.
Until we bursted into laughter.
"I mean it..."
"You won't last!" Ryder chuckles.
"Honestly, Jade."
"You guys are irritating!"
"Hey, you came in my room while I was minding my own business, FaceTiming Ryder," I defended. I looked at the screen and Ryder was nodding.
"I mean it, every time you get high or drunk.... I will do the same thing." She snatched the joint from my hand and placed it between her lips. "Every. Time." She mumbles.
"She's not gonna quit." Ryder shook his head.
"You need to be positive!" She removes the joint from her mouth.
"Fine, I'm positive that she won't quit." He smirks making it hard for me to hold back my laughter.
"Fine... I guess I'll just go to practice high." She shrugs placing it between her lips and inhaling. I placed the phone on the bed and jump off immediately.
"Jade!"
"W-hat?" She coughs after exhaling.
"See you cannot handle!"
"I'm sure I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. Since you won't be quitting anytime soon." She evilly smiles before putting it back to her lips.
"Alright... alright.... fine I'll stop." Ryder bursted out laughing earning a glare even though he can't see it.
"This is for your own good... since the guys won't do anything, I'm forced to do it. I don't want you to end up like my brother. Drunk and high all the time, that's what made him have a short temper."
"Wow, the brother card?"
"You left me no choice." She kisses my cheek before leaving my room.
"You won't last a week."
"Shut up." I take out a bag of joints that I kept in my drawer.
"Oh and I'll be taking that!" Jade walks in as a thing the bag before leaving again.
"Like I said, you won't last a week."
This'll be harder then I thought.
