chapter 5

" It's already afternoon. We should inform Tom. I am scared something happened to him " Johnny walked back and forth. He is worried about his older brother. He didn't reach home last night. After all the chaos in the club, Johnny was only able to reach home in the morning. But not seeing James at home made him terrified. Tiger and Johnny searched for him all area around the club. But they couldn't find him.

" Let's wait more. You know what will happen to us if they know our truth. I don't want to die now " Tiger said.

They both are at Johnny's house now. From morning to now, they have been waiting for his brother's arrival impatiently. Hearing a vehicle howling sound, both turned to look out through the window. James is getting out of a black BMW. It drives away dropping him off.

James walked towards the house to see Johnny and Gun running towards him. Johnny hugged him tightly and checked him from head to toe. " Oh God, you are fine. Where were you? " He asked shaking him a little, which pained him in his shoulders.

" Aren't you the one who sent me inside the club? They locked me, what can more happen when you have a dumb brother like you? Now leave me I want to rest " James signed As he pushed him slightly out of the way. He walked towards the house. He felt extremely tired.

He took a bath, he wanted to make his body fresh and wanted to wash off all the memories from last night. James lay down on the sofa in the living room. Tiger sat in front of him as he looked at his friend's condition. " Do they beat you up? We can go to the hospital "

" I am fine guys They didn't do anything to me," James said.

" I don't get it. Why did they drop you at home? Unharmed " Johnny also nodded his head in agreement. In the history of all the fights that happened between both eagles and knights, They have never shown any mercy towards each other.

" Maybe they thought I was pathetic. I couldn't even fight a first-year student. And I told them my secret "

They both turned to look at him unbelievably. " You are not? "

" Yes, they even have a video against me " Tiger rubbed his head in stress. " What will we do if they show that to the boss " Johnny asked, worry written all over his face.

" I don't think we are that relevant to boss or eagles. So I think they will forget " Tiger looked confident. James wanted to believe him. But he is scared, there is a lump forming in his throat. He had this feeling, that nothing was as simple as Tiger mentioned.

James and Johnny walked towards the classroom. His phone beeped in the back pocket, and he saw the number was unknown. " Hello? " James answered.

" Hello," The person's voice pierced through James' ear. He remembers that calm and dangerous voice of Arrow. It's him.

" Mmm, Who? " James heart beated fast. He could feel the sweat forming on his forehead.

" I can already see in your face you recognized my voice, " Arrow said.

James looked around panicking. He saw Arrow standing other end of the corridor. With two guys beside him, he carried a sly smirk on his face. They all are staring at him.

Johnny turned to see his brother looking at something. He followed his stare and spotted Arrow and his guys. He sighed as he pulled James's hand with him to the class.

" Why they were staring at you? " Johnny looked concerned. James' phone beeped again. The same number, this time It was a message.

' that is your brother who dragged you inside now, right? '

James wiped his wet hands and typed a reply.

' What if? '

' Then it's good for him. I don't have to beat him for you '

James swallowed hard, Johnny was reading his message with him. His face is darkened. James shakes his head " No".

" Don't lose your patience. We will see in the future what he wants "

" Is he Arrow? " James nodded his head at Johnny.

He didn't reply to Arrow's message anymore.

He spends almost all the time in the classroom hidden from any members of Eagles.

Evening he walked towards the parking garage to meet his friends and brother. He saw Johnny's bike but he couldn't see anyone in the garage. He was about to leave to search for them. Someone shut the grill and All the lights turned off.

James shouted suddenly alerted. " Who is that? Switch on the light " He could not see anything he stepped back and stumbled, fell.

Before he landed on the ground, someone held him tightly from behind.

" Hai, James " He flinched at that voice and tried to wiggle out.

" I will recommend you to stay still. Because I don't like myself when I lose my cool " He whispered in his ear, James swallowed in fear. His body is numb from his hold.

" I told you to take my phone when I call you. Why did you avoid me today or do you think I won't send the video to your boss? " Arrow turned him over as the light lit up. He saw Arrow smiling at him as he touched his cheeks. His hands were soft and delicate nothing like his voice. " You know why I let you leave yesterday? " He pinched his cheeks slightly, and James winced in pain. He pushed Arrow away and cupped his face." That's hurt " Arrow shook his head while laughing.

" You are unbelievable. You can't even stand this small pain. How you gonna survive " He asked. Seeing him laughing, James felt little relief. He never thought this man could have pleasant emotions.

" I hide, " He said looking down, he was embarrassed.

Arrow nodded his head in understanding.

Suddenly, There was a sound of the grill opening.

" Take my phone when I call you. Bye dear "

Arrows said nudging him in his hips. James felt ticklish, as he turned to protest. He had already disappeared.
