Chapter 70: A Dangerous Encounter
Having Johnny, Matt and Ruby stay with us was actually aweso. Ruby made pancakes on Saturday morning, and I spent the day chatting to her and playing with my gorgeous little brother. She was planning on staying in town because Johnny didn’t want to change schools again.
Kate ca over in the afternoon, and Johnny finally asked her to be exclusive - which she obviously jumped at. They were so sweet, being all cuddly and flirty. Kate would say stuff that would make Johnny blush. He was just too innocent - but knowing Kate he wouldn’t be that way for too long if she had her way. Liam kept shooting
little knowing smiles and would touch my belly at every single opportunity.
On Sunday, Ruby, Johnny, Kate and Matt went to the zoo for the day. They wanted to get out and do sothing to take Ruby’s mind off of the fact that my father was due ho from his business trip today. He would co ho to find the note that she left him, and that all of their stuff was gone from his house. She had gotten rid of their phone numbers and bought new sim cards for their cellphones so he had no way of contacting them or knowing where they were. But sitting around worrying about it wasn’t helping anyone, so they wanted to do sothing to keep them occupied.
I was sat on the sofa, reading, with my legs on Liam’s lap while he played PlayStation with Jake, when the phone rang. I moved to get it but Jake got there first. As he answered it his whole body tensed up. "What the hell do you want?" he growled, jumping off of the sofa. I sat up so fast that it almost made my head spin. "Are you f**king drunk?" he almost scread down the phone. I watched him, feeling sick, knowing that my father was on the phone. "Yeah, so what? What are you gonna do about it, old man?" Jake spat, going red with anger. "We don’t want to see you, so f**k off. No. She doesn’t want to see you. I swear, if you co near her again I’ll kill you," he growled, turning his back to . "Actually, you know what, screw it, co over, co over right now. We’re ho, co on over and let’s talk about it," Jake suggested.
What the hell is he doing? "Jake?" I cried, scared.
"Sure. You rember where the house is, right? Absolutely. See you in a bit," Jake said, hanging up and throwing the phone across the room. Luckily it landed with a thump on the other sofa and didn’t break. Did he just tell him to co over?
"Jake, he’s not...." I trailed off, unable to finish the sentence.
Jake turned back to look at , his face hard. "Yeah. Go next door," he instructed.
I looked at Liam for help. He was looking at Jake; he had the sa hard expression on his face. "Liam, tell him this is stupid!" I whispered, with tears falling down my face. Liam didn’t look at ; Jake and him were locked in so sort of silent exchange with their eyes. I jumped off of the sofa and grabbed the phone planning on calling him back to cancel it. I couldn’t let him co here, not with those two looking like that.
Jake pulled the phone out of my hands. "He’s not going to stop harassing you, Ambs. He wants to see you. He’s also really angry that Ruby’s left him. He knows that I helped them; a neighbour saw my car in the drive. He’s seriously pissed at , so I just need to tell him to back the f**k off," he said, pulling
into a hug.
I shook my head, that wasn’t what he was planning at all, they weren’t going to tell him anything, Jake and Liam were going to beat him senseless and show him to back the f**k off.
"Please don’t, you’ll get in trouble. Please?" I whispered. My insides were squirming with dread.
"Not if he starts sothing first," Jake replied, fighting a smile.
Crap, this was bad. The first thing that shot through my brain was that I needed to keep Jake under control. Sure, I wanted to kill that as**ole as much as he did, but we seriously needed to be careful. If we literally jumped him as soon as he walked in, we’d be liable, and I’d promised his mom I wouldn’t let him do that. I wouldn’t let Jake go to jail for that asshole, Angel needed her big brother, especially now with the baby coming. The second thing that sprung to mind was that I needed to get my girl and my baby the hell out of here, now.
"Angel, let’s go, I’ll take you to mine," I stated, grabbing her hand and pulling her away from Jake.
She wrenched her hand out of mine and glared at . "I’m not going anywhere! I won’t let you do this, either of you. You can’t beat the crap out of him, you’ll get in trouble. You’re being freaking stupid!" she shouted. Tears rolled down her face as she spoke.
"Angel, you need to leave, now," I ordered. She wasn’t staying here near that man, no way, because if he even looked at her the wrong way I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself, let alone keeping Jake under control.
She shook her head fiercely. She always had been stubborn, usually I loved that about her - but not right now I didn’t. Fine, if she wants it that way then screw it. I grabbed her, wrapping her in my arms, lifting her bridal style. "Liam, don’t you dare!" she shouted, her face getting red with anger as she struggled to get down. I shook my head, I’d deal with her anger later, she wouldn’t stay mad at
for long and a night of the silent treatnt would be totally worth it, just so I knew she was completely safe. She started sobbing and wrapped her arms around my neck as I carried her out of the house. Damn it, she was killing ! I hated to see her cry.
