Chapter Six

I am caught between a cross fire and I might be the reason to why this is all happening. The thought of knowing I might be the reason to why so many men are dying by the hands of the men that saved me. James and Mitch are still arguing about who's woman I am, trying to stop them from having this heated argument would be a good idea but it could make it much more worse.

Wanting to start all over, and forget about all these dangerous events. Giving myself to be part of all this is torture and the trouble I'm getting into is just to much. The mess I'm leaving behind will soon find its way back to me. "Dude it's so evident!" Mitch shouts, walking towards James GTI.

James playfully shoves Mitch to the side causing him to stumble on his own two feet as he falls against the car in a loud crashing noise. "Mitch shut the hell up!" James demands with in an anger tone, getting in the driver's seat. I got in the back seat not knowing how to act around these two because it is kind of awkward. The fact that I'm getting too close with them is crazy. "Take this" James says handing me a spray can. Taking the can from him, I tried to figure that written printing on it. "Pepper spray?" I question James, clueless to why he is giving me pepper spray. Mitch shakes his head with a muffled laugh while hitting James shoulder.

"Just in case." James explains, reving the car then changing it in first gear before driving off. The drive was so long that sleep finally took over me. I don't remember anything else after that. When we arrived I awoke slightly, realising that someone is carrying me. Not even bothering to look who the person is, I snuggle closer into the person's arms hiding my head in their neck.

I was placed on a comfy bed and closed with a silk blanket. The night is still young and this definitely shows how restless I have been for these past few months but knowing that I am safe and that James can finally be trusted, I can rest in peace. Wow I make it sound as if I have died.

"James you can't keep her here for long." I hear Mitch whispers as I pretend to still be asleep. I knew Mitch could never be hundred percent on my side. Deep down he hates me even though he does not show such hatred. "Dont you think I know that"James mumbles in a frustration tone, moving a few strands from my forehead. This action left goosebumps all over my body and my stomach began to feel all weird.

"Im not going to leave her unprotected either" James explains. I shuffle for awhile in the bed remembering what James said about the first time we met. 'People normally move in their sleep.' I took this little information to make it seem as if I was still asleep and James wouldn't be able to tell the difference this time. "Buy her a one way ticket out of the country." Mitch suggests as he caught me off guard causing me to choke on my cough. I knew he hated me but I didn't expect him to hate me this much. "They'll find her easier that way you idiot." James scoffs while shuffling around in a anxious manner. I decided to finally act as if I had just woken up and say something.

"What's going on?" I question waiting for one of them to say something. James looks between Mitch and I contemplating on if he should say something but instead of talking he groans in frustration and walks to the kitchen taking a bottle of water.

"Which Way?" I question fumbling around in the bed as I rub my eyes pretending to adjust them to the light of the place. James walks up to me and hands me what's left of the juice. "im not drinking that" I protest in disgust, folding my arms in front of me. "Oh come on. You need protein in your body." James insists, shoving the juice carton in my hands with a challenging expression on his face. "Im not drinking this okay!" I scream as I hand him back the juice carton although I knew he might not take it back. "It just juice." he explains, thinking this would encourage me to atleast take a sip from it. "Juice with your saliva in it" I said in an insipid manner.

James looks at me amusingly while lightly chuckling to himself. "Urgh come on. If we kissed it would be the same, so just think of it as a kiss." he demanded bringing the juice carton to my lips as if it was the most nomarlist thing he has ever done. "Wheres Cara!" I ask looking at James with a pleading scold on my face. I haven't even seen her since the day I escaped and I really hope that she doesn't hate me for leaving her. "Guest room."James says with a smirk on his face, walking out of the room leaving it all for myself. I notice clean clothing was left for me on the dressing table and immediately take it, making my way to the bathroom.

Once I was done in the shower I got dress and made my way quietly to the guest room, not wanting to wake Cara up. Seeing her for the first time in a long time is such a relief. It was as if nothing else mattered but her safety and well-being. I stood in the doorway still gorging the fact that she was here. "Alexis?" Cara lifts herself up using her arms for support to hold her up right, looking at me with a smile one her face. "Cara." I walk up to her and pointed out a hand in order for her to make some space for me to lay next to her. She gladly moved over and lays her head on my chest, grabbing me in a tight hold as if it might be the last time.

"I was so scared Alexis." she explains as the tears ran down her blossomed cheeks. I wipe the remains of her tears away and grab ahold of her shoulder almost moving her to lay the half of her body ontop of me as I rub her back in order to soothe her. "Sshhh your safe now."
