Guys, save the bedroom talk for later. I’m still here. Max spoke, causing me to laugh as we stepped from around the corner.
I took in the scene before us. Landon was leading a crying Jess that was clinging to him in relief towards one of the two black Jeeps with my parents following. Ryland was currently tied to the chair with the red headed girl standing in front of him. That’s when I noticed the five bloody bodies lying on the ground. I sharply inhaled and suddenly felt nauseous.
Hey Sky. Look at me. Nathan whispered in my ear.
I turned to see him looking intensely at me. Keep your eyes on me. It will be okay. He promised, squeezing my shoulder lightly.
I did as he instructed and soon the sense of nausea passed and the startling image of the bloodied bodies left my head. I was too busy lost in his beautiful green orbs.
The whole walk towards the black Jeep, Nathan’s gaze never left mine.
We’re here. Nathan spoke softly and I realized we had stopped walking and were in front of the open door to the Jeep.
Thank you. I said quietly, looking at him gratefully.
Nathan just kissed the tip of my nose, before taking his arm off of me and motioning me to get in.
As soon as got in, I was attacked by my sibling.
Tyler get off me ! I cried out as I turned to my right to see Tyler squeezing me to death.
You’re okay. He breathed out in relief.
Yeah. I answered with a small smile. But I won’t be if you don’t let go of me. I choked out.
He immediately pulled away and grinned at me.
I chuckled and turned to my left to see Nathan already settled in his seat.
How did you guys know where we were ? I asked Max who was standing next to Nathan, leaning on the open door.
Well luckily for us, Nathan still had his walkie-talkie on him so we tracked it down. Tyler answered.
Yeah, we got to use all this cool spy stuff, you totally missed out. Max told me.
Gosh darn. I was looking forward to the James Bond part of this adventure. I said in mock disappointment. So what’s gonna happen to Ryland ? I asked no one in particular.
Well, our mafia uncle is going to be arrested by the police who should be here in ten minutes. Tyler answered.
Oh crap ! I totally forgot to tell-wait, who told you ? And why are you so calm ? I freaked out at Tyler.
That would be me. A voice from behind me spoke. Wait, what ?
I spun around and faced Jordan who was sitting in the back with a sleeping Dustin next to him.
What the. I muttered. Since when did this Jeep have eight seats ? I asked helplessly, absolutely confused. And you’re supposed to be at home ! I yelled at Jordan.
Nathan chuckled from my left and grabbed my hand. You’re so adorable. He said with a silly grin, causing my stomach to flip.
I know. A new voice spoke.
My smile widened in joy as I saw Landon come into view behind Max.
Landon ! I yelled in joy.
Baby blue ! He yelled back with as much enthusiasm, and then, without warning, basically dove into the Jeep and then landed on his stomach on our laps. All while keeping a perfect Superman pose with his fist sticking up at Tyler.
A sharp curse from my left reminded me of Nathan’s condition and I quickly yelled at Landon to get off as I put a hand on Nathan’s shoulder who was bent over in pain.
Guys, can we leave now and get to the hospital ? I think Nathan either cracked or broke his ribs. I said.
You broke your ribs ? Landon asked Nathan in surprise, now sitting in front of Tyler’s legs on the Jeep’s floor. Don’t ask me how he fit.
And got shot. Max added.
You got shot !? Tyler exclaimed now.
I sighed, before turning towards Max with a pleading look. Can we get to the hospital now ? Nathan’s in a lot of pain. I asked him, since he was the oldest and should be the most responsible.
Don’t worry, now he’ll know how you feel when you get pregnant with his babies. Max said casually, causing me to double-take, before a deep red blush came over my face.
I couldn’t even turn to look at Nathan.
Dude, please don’t say that when I’m right here. Tyler groaned, running a hand down his face.
Just. Drive. I spat out, glaring at the blonde.
Yes ma’am. Max shot me a quick grin, but quickly slammed the door closed when I started to get ready to lunge at him.
Wait, what about Jess and my parents ? I asked Landon who was still seated on the floor.
Don’t worry about them, they’re already on their way back home. I gave Randy the keys to the other Jeep and told him that I’d get you home in this one. Landon explained.
I sighed in relief.
But what about the redhead ? I asked. How’s she gonna get back ? I asked.
Oh you don’t need to worry about her. She has her chopper parked on the roof. Max answered this time, starting the engine.
Okay. But why’s Jordan here with Dustin ? I asked once more.
Because it wasn’t too safe at home so Dustin and I flew out here once the guards were after us. Then that red head picked us up in her chopper from the airport and brought us here. Ryland had sent his guards out to make sure no one left the apartment but we managed to escape. Jordan explained.
Any more questions your highness ? Tyler asked me with sarcasm, smirking when I jabbed him in the side.
The rest of the ride was surprisingly spent in silence. Thankfully the hospital wasn’t too far. Max’s iPhone read that it was less than twenty minutes away.
You know when you do get pregnant, I’ll make sure that the car isn’t filled with a bunch of idiots. Nathan whispered in my ear, causing me to freeze in surprise.
I think my heart just stopped. That or it was beating so fast that I couldn’t feel it anymore. The mere thought of having a family with Nathan was enough to make me go crazy. I loved the idea and hearing him say that seemed like confirming the possibilities.
I turned to him with my cheeks flushed and saw him giving me a charming smile.
I couldn’t help but smile back, before resting my head gently against his shoulder. Nathan moved his arm so that it wrapped around me and pulled me closer.
