Chapter 14

BREAKING RULES AND WORRYING NEWS

Finally! I've arrived at school and just in time. I see Ana and run over to her "Hey Ana nice to see you again. I've missed you so much! Online schooling was not fun. Anyway, how are you?" She looks at me stunned and says "Oh Grace I thought you were staying home,

Christian called me and said you weren't coming to school until the first semester was over. And I'm better now that you're here." God Danm Christian! I mumble under my breath making Ana laugh and smile at the same time "Of course he did." I raise my voice for the next thing I wanna say "Ana I need to tell you something promise you'll keep it to yourself and not tell anybody including your boyfriend Lannan and excpecially Christian. I don't need him freaking out over nothing." She nods and I'm relieved by that and I start explaining it to her "Well Ana, Christian doesn't know that I'm at school I ran away from his house because I couldn't take anymore of online schooling." And at that moment the bell rings for my first class of the day which is English. Yes! "We should probably get to class Ana don't wanna be late." And with that we head for our English class together with no further convocation.

As I walk out of my English class with Ana I see Lannan walking up the hallway to Ana and I, "Fuck its Lannan!" I whisper shout under my breath so only Ana can hear me, she then turns to me and says "Go Grace. I'll keep my boyfriend occupied and I won't tell him I saw you, I promise." I nod and say "Thank you Ana I owe you one." And with that I dash out the back doors and I realise it's raining. Fuck the weather! Luckily I packed my rain coat in my bag, so I quickly bend and take off my back pack to grab my rain coat and put it back on. After that I

dash and jog away from school and my subconscious asks me "Where the hell are you gonna go Grace?" Danm it! She has a point there I can't go to Christian's…. yet and I can't go to my place because of my mum. I then hear Lannan's voice screaming after me and I can't believe what he's just said it makes me freeze in my tracks and gape at him in horror, complete horror. "Grace! Renessme she's been kidnapped! We don't know where she is!" No he did not just say that… Crap! He did just say that! I then start to feel my knees buckle underneath me and I collapse to the ground hitting my head on someone's hand and I realise its Lannan's. The last thing he says is "Christian sir, I've found Grace I've told her about Rey and she collapsed but luckily I caught her. Yes I'll bring her back." Shit! He must be talking to Christian through a phone or mouth piece or something.

I wake up and I'm in a car not just any car it's one of Christian's cars, it's not his R8 from what I can tell it's a black Audi SUV. "When the hell did I get here?" I mutter under my breath, then everything comes flushing back into my mind. Fuck Rey! She's been kidnapped! I then hear Lannan's voice and I'm guessing he's talking to Christian "No sir I don't think so I think she was just shocked by the news which led to her fainting. And also you should know that she's freezing cold even to me which is bad because I'm a bloody vampire and humans are supposed to be warmer than us and if not than that's really worrying. Uh huh I understand I'm just pulling up at the front of the house you should come carry her inside because you're warmer than me. Okay yes got it." And with that he stops his convocation and parks the car in the garage when I hear frantic screaming and somebody literally ripping the car's back seat door off of its hinges, only one person is that strong… it's Christian. "What the hell?!" Whoa calm down dude! Christian then takes me in his warm welcoming arms. I hadn't realised how freezing cold I was until this very moment being in Christian's warm almost hot arms. So I snuggle closer to him in an attempt to get warmer. Christian sighs and puts his face in my hair holding me in an unbreakable hold while he takes me inside and up to his room. He places me down on the warm, cosy and comfortable sheets and blankets and whispers in my ear, "Dear lord I miss my sister I could never forgive myself if anything happened to her because of me same with you Grace. Why do you defy me?" I mumble something under my breath like "Because I can Christian and you need to trust me to do things on my own that's how I'll learn things, sure sometimes I might get it wrong but that's apart of learning something."

"Grace! Grace wake up!" Danm it! What's the problem? I groan and turn over so that I'm on my belly and grab a pillow and the blankets and put them over my head to block the noise out of my ears, but it's no use whoever is telling me to wake up is persistent. "God danm it Grace! Grace I won't tell you again wake up now! It's an emergency!" Wait what?! And with that I jolt upright so fast it makes my head spin and I realize somebody is in front of me but I can't see…. Wait! It's Christian oh boy! He looks worried. "Juses Grace! Your awake and alive good, now get up and get dressed we have something to take care of." I then realise Christian has got baggy grey jeans and no top on. Wait a minute… Why?! Christian smirks and says "Grace when you've done your ogling, would you mind actually listening to me for once in your life?" I roll my eyes and ask him "Christian, what do I put on?" As I say this I look into his eyes and I see that their a shade of grey, he takes me away from my staring and says "It would be best to put on some baggy jean shorts and a tank top, okay?" I nod and get out of his bed to start getting dressed.

As I head out of Christian's closet I hear him talking to Lannan and some other people called, Tylor and Sawyer? "Lannan you're in charge of making sure Grace is safe and ok while I take the pack in search of Rey and just in case I'll also have Tylor and Sawyer here join you. Your job is to not let her out of your sight. Do you understand? She's the only thing worth living for in my life right now. Good, now I'll go see if she's ready." And with that there's a knock on the bedroom door and I hear Christian's voice "Grace, are you ready?" I go to the door and open it to see the same Christian I saw after I woke up this morning and I nod to him, which makes him smile. And with that we head to the Audi SUV hand in hand.

Lannan, Tylor and what's the other guy's name… is it Sawyer or Jessie? Danm my forgetful mind! Anyway my security team are driving me to good god knows where in the Audi SUV, it's been half an hour since we dropped Christian off at the pack grounds. Who knows where he is right now. Anxiety grips at my throat, lungs and heart threatening to choke me to death. Lannan interrupts my brooding session and anxiety attack "Miss Rose we are at our destination, and just so you know Mr Jackson packed some of your things in a bag and it's in the back of the car so I'll just go grab it and Tylor will lead you into the house and Sawyer will park the car in the garage, ok?" I knew his name was Sawyer not Jessie! I nod and open the door before Tylor can open it for me, I then head to the back of the car to take my bag out of the back before Lannan can grab it. Lannan looks at me and says in a disapproving tone in his voice "Miss Rose I insist on taking your luggage it's a part of my job description and what I get paid to do." I shake my head and go into the large and intimidating house which looks a lot like Christian's home except it's smaller and more cosy… just like me. It's beautiful absolutely beautiful like Christian. "Ah hem." Someone from behind me says. Huh? Crap! I forgot I wasn't alone, I manage to choke out "Uhh… I think I'll head upstairs to get used to the house." "Wait Miss Rose before you get up there Mr Jackson asked me to give you this letter from him to you." I look behind me to find Lannan looking at me with his hand outstretched with an envelope I turn back and grab it from him and say "Thanks Lannan." And with that I head upstairs taking them three at a time.

As I open the door to my room I look at the letter Christian sent to me it says on the front "To Grace

From your love, Christian xoxJ"

I then decide to open the letter and when I do I'm met by a heart shaped card and rose petals and Christian's handwriting which says,

"Dear my love, my life, I have written this letter to you to say thank you for everything you've done for me. You have no idea what you've done, but here are some things I should be grateful for, that came from you. 1. You have changed me for the better I was in the darkness before you came around but then I saw you and you are like my light and I am the moth attracted to you. 2. Before you came around I had a void in my chest and I felt like something was missing from my life, I then realised it was… love that I was missing. When you came around you filled the void in my chest and made me happier than I could have ever been without you.

Thank you for everything you've done Grace you are everything to me, my love, my life, my reason to live and you are the reason I have something to fight for. I love you my dear precious Grace and the thought of anyone else having you or taking you away from me kills me and would kill me.

Love from Christian xoxo

P.S Oh and make sure you eat regularly and you stay close to Tylor, Lannan and Sawyer and just so you know Sawyer's first name is Jessie, ok. Love you forever. J

I love you too Christian more then you'll ever know and with that I pass out on the bed from emotional happy crying, and I know now that I will love Christian until the end of time I've known it since the day he walked into English class, or the time he took me to his special spot and from the time he kissed me for the first time.
