Chapter Fourteen

Rip

The others fell asleep hours ago, but all of them have gravitated towards Jynx and are touching her in some way. They all look peaceful, more peaceful than I think I have ever seen any of them look, but I just can’t seem to force myself to sleep. With all the information that she revealed earlier and the threat to her life, sleep isn't going to happen any time soon. Of course, it doesn’t help that my demons come out to play at night. So instead, I’m sitting watching them like a fucking weirdo or, more specifically, I’m watching her.

She’s fucking dangerous and in more than just the obvious way.

From the very first moment that we saw her, we were all drawn to her, but now that it appears that she’s just as fucking deadly as we are, she’s drawing us to her like a moth to a fucking flame. We all agreed to keep our distance to keep it platonic, and we all decided after my minor freakout with Mason that she deserved more than us, especially now. Still, I can see it happening, none of them can keep their distance from her for very long, and I’m no fucking different. We all have feelings for her, and if the guys don’t let jealousy get involved, then they’d all love her and protect her with their lives but me?

She deserves someone a thousand times better than fucking me. Love doesn’t come easily to me. When you’ve never known love in any form, it’s hard to recognise what it is and even if it’s real. The guys and I have been friends since we were kids. I’ve seen them show it to each other, in the family kind of way. We’ve never had families that show us love or any kind of affection, really. Let’s just say they aren’t the type. Still, they each had someone who showed them how it was supposed to be, and the twins had each other; they have an instinctual bond. That’s all I know; what I’ve learned from the guys, I love them like they’re my brothers. They are, after all, my family.

Despite all of that, I still feel the pull to her, even stronger now, I can see the demons in her eyes, and it’s like they’re calling to my own, wanting to consume us both.

More than that, I have a curiosity, no that’s not quite right, I have a need to know what gave her those demons, and for the first time in my life, I want to share what gave me mine with someone other than the guys, and that scares the fuck out of me.

I’d say that I need to keep my distance from her from now on, keep her at arm's length, but it’s already too late for that she’s become a drug that I couldn’t quit even if I fucking wanted to and that, right there, is the crux of the fucking matter. Deep down, I don’t want to fucking quit her.
