You can’t save her.
She’s not yours to take.
Touch her and you will find each other's body parts laying on your pillows at night. Don’t fucking test me.
Then everything powers off, almost like we imagined it all.
“What the fuck was that, is that–?” Kev asks, his face pale like he’s seen a ghost..
“Don’t fucking speak her name.” Cade threatens, his hands fisted at his side.
“No, it can’t be,” Atti says.
“She’s dead! Someone is fucking with us.” Zin says.
“And its a fucking problem. We need to find out who this is and quick before they fuck everything up,” Stone says, walking out the door. We all follow suit and I head out to my car. I have a stop to make.
Chapter Twenty-One
ALUXIS
Walking out of the hospital, we slide into the backseat of the all black audi. It's a nice car and makes me wonder what this family does because this is a GX 460. I slide my hand across the smooth red leather seats. As we pull out of the hospital, Jo glances back over my discharge summary instructions. As I roll down the window, feeling the warm heat on my face, she grabs my arm.
“Lux.” she looks me in the eyes with a panicked look.
“Yeah” She’s about to make me freak out. “What’s wrong?
“It says no strenuous activity for the next four to six weeks.” That serious ass look she is giving me feels like she is about to read me the riot act.
“Oooohkaaay” I drag out.
“What if you get some really hot foster brothers?” She asks, wiggling her brows.
“You’re so stupid.” I say as I laugh and shake my head at her nonsense.
“No seriously.” She says.“What if you need to escape?” Tears flowing down her face. “You know what. If you need to escape, then call me. We will escape into the night and go live someplace and own a shit ton of cats.” She wipes her cheeks.
“Deal.” I reach over. Pulling her into a hug.
We pull up to the iron gate with the monogrammed R in the middle, the driver punches in a code, causing the gate to open, giving us access to the grounds. Driving through the gates, we head towards the house located at the back of the subdivision. Pulling in and around the circular driveway that holds the stone-built waterfall, I notice the bushes that line the house. It's a three story gray brick house that has an enormous bay window and detached garage. There are balconies on either side with a wrap-around front porch. Opening my door, I step out of the car and take a look around the place.
“Holy shit!” I can’t keep the excitement from my voice.
“It’s beautiful, babe.” Jo grabs my hand, gripping it tightly..
“How far away is your place?” I ask her as my anxiety picks up.
“Just over there.” She smiles. Pointing to the similar house directly across the street with the attached garage.
“Really?” she nods. “How? This is amazing! Now I feel so much better knowing you're that close.” I say, squeezing her hand. “I wonder what they’re like. What if they hate me?”
“Relax, babe. You're causing yourself to panic. I can only imagine what you're feeling but I’ll stay with you for as long as I can, okay?” I nod as she smiles at me.
We walk up to the stone path towards the front door. Pulling out the key left at the hospital for me, I put it into the door, pushing it open and stepping inside. Looking around, I see how clean it is and smile. I hope this means it will stay this way so I won’t have much to clean every day.
“This is a nice place and so clean, right?” I look over at Jo. She nods her head in agreement.
Just then, a little woman comes around the corner, heading towards us. She reaches us and smiles as she introduces herself.
