Hello lovelies. So this chapter is gonna have some part about Jordan and Luke. So if you wanna skip to the main part, just skip to ********** . And, enjoy❤️

Alyssa's pov :

The next day was very different, I thought that Luke and Jordan would go back to their old selves, ignore me and just guard me like usual .

But they were actually acting very normal. Luke being the sweet childish one, complimented me on my dress right as I went outside.

" Ooooo, look who's looking cute todayyy. You look pretty in that blue dress. " Luke sing sang.

That made me feel happy, the dress came up to my knees, had full sleeves. It had frills around the collar, at the end of the sleeves and at the hem.

" Twirl Twirl! Give us a twirl girl" he said holding my hand and twirling me while I giggled. Jordan was just silently smiling.

" You look nice" Jordan said, which made me blush. He is not one to say nice things.

I stopped wearing anything that was above my knees after meeting  Arestair as he would always rage and make me go change. So, Now I'm paranoid. But I guess you can still look pretty in other dresses.

The whole way to my school, they kept on bickering. Jordan didn’t let a single chance to pick on me slip through while Luke defended me. It was funny to be honest.

At school I asked both Connor and Rae about what were they soo 'busy' with that they didn’t come to my house. Both of them gave me weird answers and avoided my questions.

Yup, not suspicious at all. They’re definitely hiding something.

Other that that the whole day went pretty smoothly. I saw Luke and Jordan standing by the entrance as always. That made me smile. I never thought one day seeing those scary guys would make me happy.

Connor wanted to come along with me, but Jordan gave him a very non welcoming glance which made him change his decision. He said bye and walked the other direction but not before calling Jordan a 'jerk'.

After making sure we were far enough and my school wasn’t in sight anymore, Luke started pushing me and urging me to walk faster.

" Yeah, you better just draw him and get it over with. This fucker has been bugging me the whole time about how lucky I was and how envious he was that I got to get a portrait of myself. And he's been too excited about today, my head hurts."

I looked at Jordan and saw that he was shaking his head.

" Bro, you got yours, of course you're not complaining. Didn’t you see how good she draws! Heck, she even made your stupid, shit ass grumpy face look like a fucking handsome prince" Luke said to Luke.

And then turned to me " you better not draw me any less handsome than his . Or else I'll make you redo it" he said pointing a finger at. Welp, this made me wanna mess up his picture more.

" See. Just get this over with and make him shut up. My head seriously hurts " Jordan was pinching his forehead.

" yeah, I'll do it" I said smiling.

After having some snacks with both of them, I started making Luke's picture. I did the same thing that I did with Jordan. I mean, I did it with Jordan, why should Luke be an exception.

This time Jordan was the one enjoying Luke's pain as he sat still for hours.

" Now I understand how bad you must have felt yesterday " Luke said while trying to maintain his smile.

" Yeah, I also understand now just how much you  must've enjoyed yesterday. This is fun!" Jordan said with a small grin.

" I'm sorry bro!" Luke exclaimed.

Jordan’s eyes looked mischievous as he bugged Luke showing that he was enjoying it.

" Too late for that bro" Jordan said as he tickled Luke, Luke was hardly keeping Himself from laughing and was tearing up.

I took the same amount of time for Luke as I took for Jordan. I finally finished around 9 pm. Mom had night shift today, so she wasn’t gonna be back anytime soon.

Luke looked really happy with his portrait. He kept jumping around saying that his picture looked better than Jordan’s. So Immature, I thought and laughed.

They left after having dinner.

****a few days later****

I've been hanging out with Luke and Jordan more often now. It’s surprising how fast we got along.

Rae and Connor at first were cautious about meeting them as they were Arestair's men. But after meeting them, they got along quickly.

I also got to know that Jordan might act grumpy, but he was the most soft and caring person out of all of us. Also the most protective one.

This one guy at the grocery store tried to flirt with me and just gave me a simple wink. In an instant Jordan was in front of me, flashing the guy his gun that rested in his waistband.

The guy literally ran away.

" Men are pigs. You never know what they might do. Be cautious of them" was all he said and walked away leaving me stunned.

The next day he brought all types of tasers and self protection stuff for me. He made me choose one of those.  Only then did he settled down.

He even stepped into a fight between Connor and some guys from our school. He took hits for Connor and ended up beating their butts and stopping the fight.

He then took care of Connor's wounds first and only after that did he treated his own wounds.

I may have been part of his duties, but Connor or Rae weren’t. He still helped them on his own accord. He's just genuinely a caring person.

One thing I noticed though, he would keep staring at the picture I drew of him every time.  And he'd smile. Did he like it that much?...

I asked Luke about it. Luke's answer broke my heart.

" He never had a family of his own, his own parents had abandoned him. He was found on the streets by sir Arestair . But this fool still craves for a family. Someone who cares for him." Luke sadly smiled looking at Jordan.

" You drawing his picture was probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for him. He never had anyone to draw him a portrait or do anything for him . The fool's never gonna admit it but I'm sure it made him super happy. The same goes for me..." Luke now looked at me.

" Thank you" he looked at me with warmth in his eyes.

I looked at the blond guy sitting in my living room,  laughing and bickering with Rae about something.

This grumpy blonde guy, whom now I knew had a kind heart. The guy I was growing fond of... Without even realising it.

" You’re welcome" I smiled back at Luke, a smile that came from the heart.

I'm glad to have met these guys.

*************

The nights were chilly these days. So I've been sneaking out with two cups of hot chocolate around midnight  for Jordan and Luke the past few days.

They both appreciated it. But only after my hand grazed with Luke's did I realise just how cold they were. I ran inside and brought the two of the thickest blankets I could find.

'Those belonged to dad and my brother.'.. We're never gonna use these again. It’s better to let them use it.

How can they keep guarding this place, don't they get tired? Of course, they get some substitutes at times. But still, they need more rest in my opinion.

The days at school were peaceful . It’s been 18 days since Arestair has last visited me. I wish things could stay like this forever and he never came again.

As I entered the school, I realised both Rae and Connor didn’t come today. They’d always wait for me in the cafeteria. I tried to calm myself by thinking maybe they're late.

As if on cue, they both called and said they weren’t gonna come. My heart dropped to my stomach. After meeting Connor, I'd always have either one of them with me.

Having them with me helped me with my anxiety and made me ignore the others. But now that none of them were here, it made me just so much more aware of my surroundings.

The teachers still avoid me out of fear, wherever I go, students start to whisper everywhere I go.  Cassidy and her group avoided me like a plague. The bullies that sometimes bullied me, just gave me way.

It was as if,  I had a dragon behind me that guarded me. And they all could see it. They went on like a blur.

After school I was in the library,  I needed to borrow some books. Suddenly a hand grabbed me from behind and a big hand was placed on my mouth,  silencing me.

I kept struggling to be free, but it didn’t work. I was taken into an empty class room and thrown on the floor harshly scraping my palms and knees.

I looked up to see Damien already closing the door. No! I haven’t seen him in soo long that I totally forgot about him.

I screamed, but it was already late. Most of the students must've left. Plus, we were on the fifth floor. This floor originally had less people to begin with.

He stalked towards me. Memories of last time made me go numb, but this time there was no Connor to save me. Punches and kicks were landed on me nonstop.

" Did you really think you could get away from me? What did you think, your bodyguards, that Connor, Raechel, they're always gonna be here to protect you?" he said yanking my head and slamming it to the wall.

" You bitch..how..the..fuck..did..you...manage..to..seduce...so...many...guys...you fucking..whore" he said between kicks.

I was gasping for air. My lungs burned, I coughed out blood several times already . He pulled my hair.

" how many times did ya sleep around with them? And Arestair?  How the fuck did you get him? Man, you really do know how to use that body of yours" he snickered slamming my head to the floor again.

I felt dizzy. He brought out a blade and started placing cuts on my hands, chin, neck, stomach,and  thighs...

" just...why? Why do you hate me so much..." I said in a slow whisper.

" I dunno bitch. I just do. I want you dead" he said laughing maniacally .

He's already cut so much that I can feel my blood slipping through me. Please, god let it end. It went on for a while.

" you know what, this is boring. What else can we do?" he said pretending to think.

" oh yeah. I can fuck you! That would be so much more fun. You’ve been doing it with other guys anyways, so I'm sure you wont mind" he said as he threw away the blade and started ripping my top.

" No no no!  Please no! Stop! Stopp!" he punched me again, I could tasted blood in my mouth.

" Why bitch? You’ve been doing it anyways, what's the problem now. I would never touch your filthy disgusting body, but I'm still doing it." I kept screaming and trying to push him away with my blooded hands.

" You should be honored bitch. I'll make you feel like no one has ever made you feel" he said as he groped my breasts. I cried out even louder.

Someone please help! Anyone! No! This is not how I want to have my first! Tears wont stop falling as he sucked on my chest..

I tried fighting one last time which earned me another strong punch on my side. Only  this time, I heard a sickening cracking sound and an unbearable pain right after.

I screamed at the top of my lungs as Damien laughed. No sign of remorse in him eyes. He started to unbuckle my jeans. I laid limp, the pain on my side killing me.. Even a single movement hurt.

His hands snaked inside my pants touching my private part...Nooo! I screamed again, not being able to move.

Suddenly there was a loud bang and Damien was off of me. Someone came running to me and placed a coat over my body. Luke. I thanked the god.

I looked to the side as Arestair was beating up Damien while Jordan tried to stop him. What was Arestair doing here... After Jordan coaxed Ares to stop he rushed towards me.

I looked behind him, there laid a bloody mess of a Damien. Ares tried to pick me up but I cried from the pain on my side. He stopped midway and checked me carefully without exposing my chest.

His eyes grew hard as he said something to the boys. He picked me up again, this time very slowly and carefully. He started to walk out of the room as Jordan and Luke started to pick up Damien.

I looked at the broken door lying on the floor. So, that's where the loud bang sound came from. This was the first time I felt safe in Arestair's presence.

Although he's usually a jerk, I'm relieved he came today. We were walking towards the school's exit. Feeling tired I finally let myself black out.
