–LIA’S POV–

The rest of the day went by uneventful. There was no sign of Blake, and after the last period, Zane offered to drop me home.
“You think I’m gonna say no to that after what happened?”
“You shouldn’t, but you never know with you.”
“I’m not that difficult, Zane.”
“Of course. Not at all.”
I rolled my eyes and sat in his passenger seat, putting on my seat belt while he closed the door. He got in as well, and then we drove away from school.
“Have you decided what to do?” Zane asked.
“About?”
“You said you’re going to tell your parents.”
“Oh, yeah, I have.”
He waited for me to elaborate.
“I’m gonna ask them tonight. I will try to beat around the bush

first, see if they get a hint or reveal something. Then if they don’t and I absolutely have to, I wil tell them the truth. They probably won’t believe me though.”
“I could come,” Zane said. “Help prove it so they don’t put you in crazy ward.”
“I don’t think that will be necessary,” I said.
“You sure?”
“Okay, maybe eventually we can do that. Not immediately, though. I don’t want to frighten them too much.”
“Yeah, they would freak out. Especially when they already hate.
me.”
“They don’t hate you.”
“Are you sure?” He raised an eyebrow, giving me a half smile.
“Okay, little bit, I guess. But it’s nothing irrepairable.”
“I hope not.”
We pulled at my house, and Zane turned his full attention to me. “Take care, love. Be careful, alright? I’ll be around.”
“Today as well?” I asked.

“Until The Order is gone, I’m not taking any risks.”
“What if we get caught?” I asked.
“Then your parents hate me a little more.” He shrugged. “Nothing we can’t gel past, right?”
I smiled. “I guess?”
“I don’t like the way that sounded.”
I chuckled. “Alright. Yes. We can get past that.”
“That’s better.” He took my hand and planted a kiss on it.
“I should go,” I said.
“I’d walk you to the door, but I don’t think your mom will appreciate it.”
“Yeah. I can go. Good bye, Zane.”
“Good bye.

I stepped out of his car, and closed the door, making my way to the door. When I rang the bell, Zane reversed his car, to stay out of my mom’s view. When she opened the door and I stepped inside, I heard him leave.
“Hi honey,” Mom greeted with a smile.

“Hi Mom. How are you?”

“I am good. Look who’s waiting for you in the dining room.”
I frowned. “Who?”
“Go see for youself.”
His scent now hit my nose.
I could almost hear the loud beats of his heart.
“Blake?” I asked softly.
“Yes,” she smiled. “He said he left school early, so he came here
to see you.”
I took in a deep breath, my face falling completely.
“Can you ask him to meet me in my
bedroom?”
Mom narrowed her eyes, giving me a cheeky smile. “I don’t think your Dad will appreciate that.”
“Mom, please. I need to speak to him alone.”
She frowned, sensing the worry in my voice.
“Is everything okay?”

“No, but it will be if you send him to my room. We just need to talk alone.”
“Okay,” Mom frowned. “You know if there’s anything wrong, you can tell me.”
“I know, Mom,” I reassured. “Don’t worry. Just send him up,
okay?”
Blake stepped out of the dining room himself.
My jaw set when I saw him.
The injuries Zane had probably given him were already gone. It was annoying to see him look so fit and unharmed after what he did to me.
“Hey, Lia,” he said softly, offering me a small, timid smile.
How I wanted to slap it off his face.
“Upstairs,” I said simply, before making my way to my bedroom. He followed close behind, and my heart hammered in my chest as I stepped in, giving him space to join me. The moment Blake entered my room, I closed the door shut, and he was immediately slammed against the wall by Zane.
I wasn’t even surprised to see him here.

“You piece of shit,” Zane growled. “How dare you. show up here after what you pulled today? I warned you that I would kill you.”
“Hey, hey, please,” Blake cried, raising his hands in surrender. “I’m here to apologise, nothing else.”
“Shove it up your ass,” I snapped. “I don’t want your apology, Blake, I want you to stay the hell away from me.”
Blake lowered his gaze, a pained expression on his face. “What I did today wasn’t me, Lia. You have to believe me,” he begged.
“Bullshit,” Zane growled, his eyes black. He slammed Blake harder against the wall.
“Zane,” I cried, “the wall.”
Zane threw him on the ground, stepping away from him.
“Leave,” he ordered.
“I just want to talk to–”
“You have three seconds. Leave, or I will kill you.”
“Lia,” Blake cried.
“Don’t say her name! Three. Two.”
“Alright, I’m leaving!” Blake shouted, his jaw clenched. “Don’t

start a fight in front of her.” He stood up and hurried to the window.
“Run like the coward you are,” I said. “And don’t show your face. again.”
Blake escaped through the window, and Zane pulled me to his chest.
“You okay?”
I sighed. “Yeah. I’m getting used to it at this point.”
