as he tried to stand back up.

Drake was on him in a flash and started punching any part of him that he could reach. Jordan, who was almost twice Drake’s size, instantly started fighting back. He rolled and pinned Drake under him. After getting in a few good punches, he managed to grab both of Drake’s arms and pin them to the ground.

Jade and Adam came running out of the bus just as Eric reached them and tried to pull Jordan away, with no luck. Eric was smaller than Drake and there was no doubt in my mind that Jordan could take both of them if he had to.

I ran to their side and started pulling on his arm. “Jordan, let go of him.”

He shook his head. “Not until he tells me what the hell that was for.”

Drake struggled underneath of him, his eyes full of rage. “Get off of me!”

“So you can try to beat the shit out of me again? I don’t think so.” Jordan growled as blood dripped from his nose.

“Holy shit Chloe! What happened to you?” Adam asked.

All eyes instantly went to me and I let my hair fall forward to cover most of the bruises. “That’s not important right now.”

Eric walked over and held an envelope in front of me. “I think it has something to do with these.”

I took the envelope from him and opened it. My mouth dropped open as I flipped through the pictures inside. “Where on Earth did he get these?” I asked.

“From some stalker named Kadi that has been following him around. She showed up here the other night and gave them to him.”

“Kadi? Danny’s friend Kadi?” I asked, completely confused. “How does she even know who Drake is and why would she take these and then give them to him?”

Eric glanced at Drake struggling on the ground. “I think that’s something you need to discuss with him.”

“Jordan, let him up.”

He looked at me like I was crazy. “Are you serious? He’ll just start hitting me again!”

“No he won’t, will you Drake?” I asked calmly.

“As long as he stays the fuck away from me, then no.”

Jordan released him and stepped out of his range as I walked over to him and started inspecting his face. His nose was still bleeding and his left eye was starting to swell, but other than that, he looked fine.

“Are you ok? Is your nose broken?”

He wiped the blood away and gave me a small grin. “Nah, I’m fine. I get hit harder than that on the field.”

I nodded as Drake stood and glared at us. “Go ahead, make sure I didn’t hurt your little boyfriend.”

Jordan glared at him, but I put my hand on his chest to keep him back. “Don’t. He has good reason to think that.”

I held the pictures out to him and he grabbed them, flipping through the pile quickly. “You’ve got to me kidding me! I knew that bitch was up to something.”

“Yeah, you were right. Only she wasn’t after Danny like you thought, she was after us.” I said as he handed the pictures back to me.

I glanced up at Drake to see him watching us closely. “Why don’t you go hang out on the bus for a while. I think Drake and I need to have a talk.”

Jordan didn’t seem to like the idea of leaving us alone together, and he made that obvious as he walked away. “You lay a finger on her and I’ll break your neck. As far as I’m concerned, you fucked up our truce the minute you disappeared on everyone and scared her to death. The fact you hit me just adds to it.”

Drake flipped him off as he walked away. “Asshole.”

“Real mature Drake. Seriously. He’s only looking out for me.”

“That’s the problem. He watches out for you just a little bit too much.”

I looked back at the bus to see Adam and Jordan both staring out the window at us. There was no way that we could have a private conversation with those two around.

“Want to take a walk?” I asked.

He shrugged his shoulders. “Sure, just let me grab my phone out of the bus first.”

“Not like you were worried about it before.” I grumbled as he walked away.

I had no idea what I was supposed to say to make those pictures look better. Kadi had caught the most innocent moments and turned them into something ugly and dirty. I had to admit that she had completely fooled me; the girl I
