Rafe and Cash losing theirs quickly.
“You think we’re the ones she needs protecting from?” Rafe roars as he jumps and lands a devastating blow on the side of Jeremy's head.
He goes down like a sack of potatoes but quickly shakes it off again and jumps up, we’ve surrounded him and he tries to escape by Cash wrongly assuming that he’s the weakest out of the three of us. Cash jumps and boots him in the chest making him stumble backwards.
“Where the fuck do you think you’re going, playtimes not over yet” Cash smirks, he can be real fucking creepy when he wants to be.
Jeremy spins towards me and I catch him with an upper cut, right now both eyes are swollen, his cheeks split, his nose is broken from my earlier hit and he has one arm wrapped around himself, so I’m guessing he has a broken rib or two as well.
“Five minutes” Jensen growls from behind us alerting us that he’s called the cops and they’re only five minutes out. Jensen’s voice is dark with violence and it wouldn’t surprise me if Riot was having to hold him back right now.
“Take him down” I order Cash.
Cash nods once and as Jeremy spins towards him eyes wide with terror Cash darts forward and has him restrained and on the floor in seconds. It never fails to amaze me how fucking quickly he can do that. Unfortunately we can’t use cable ties to secure him like we would usually, the cops would definitely find that suspect. Once Cash has restrained him so he can’t move an inch I bend down and make sure his swollen eyes meet mine. I grab a handful of that fucking ridiculously stupid bright yellow hair and lower my voice dangerously.
“If you ever come near OUR” I make sure to enunciate, “Everleigh again we will not be so fucking lenient. We will torture and then bury you. We will enjoy every motherfucking second of it” he’s shaking in fear as colour leeches from his face, he has no fucking idea who he’s messing with. We are pretty fucking lucky Atlas isn’t here, he would’ve killed the fucker and not thought twice about it. “Good luck in prison, we’ve got a couple of friends who’re going to give you a nice welcome” I chuckle darkly as I release his head and it bounces off the hard ground.
Sirens flash in the distance and we all take a step back, adopting casual poses apart from Cash who continues to hold the deathly pale and now sobbing Jeremy on the floor.
Chapter Two
Everleigh
Trick may have spoken quietly to Jeremy but it’s the middle of the night, on a back road in the middle of nowhere. I heard him clear as day and I’m not even going to lie and say it didn’t give me the warm and fuzzies because it absolutely did, what does that say about me?
“Sunshine, where are you hurt?” Riot asks urgently.
When I realised that the men pulling me out of the car were actually Jensen, Luc and Riot I collapsed in relief and haven’t stopped sobbing since. I was aware of my other guys beating the shit out of Jeremy but I was just so fucking grateful that they came for me, that it didn't even occur to me to watch.
“You came for me” I say quietly my sobs finally ceasing.
I’m gently turned in Luc’s arms. Jensen was holding me but as soon as I said what Jeremy had planned for me he passed me off to Luc and now Riot is having to hold him back from going over to Jeremy’s prone form. I have to agree it’s a good call since Jensen is statue still, as if, if he moves a single muscle he won’t be able to hold himself back from killing Jeremy, violence has completely consumed any light in his eyes.
“I promised you we’d always come for you Sweetheart” Trick reminds me gently his gaze finally landing on me and his eyes flashing with pain as they land on my battered face. “I’m so sorry” he mutters as he steps closer.
I tug him to me, not leaving the safety of Luc’s arms, I’m going to be a clingy bitch for a while and I’m not even sorry about it. I pull him closer and look up at him.
“Not your fault, you guys saved me” I try to smile but end up grimacing in pain.
“Oh Ever” Trick says, his voice pained as he leans down
