Chapter Thirteen

Well, this is awkward. I'm sitting on my couch with Jace on one side of me and Eli to the other in the armchair. They won't talk and I feel like if I do I'm focusing on one more than the other. Instead, I’ve taken to looking either straight ahead or looking between them.

Sitting here now, I see how different they are. Jace is a dusky blonde, his hair a messy mop. He only styles it when he has a big meeting or he’s out to impress. Other than that, he keeps it misplaced and sexy – true sex hair. It makes me want to run my hands through it. Eli, however, is your all essential tall, dark, and handsome male. He’s six foot four, dark haired - which he keeps neat and styled most days - and even though I don’t feel for him what I do for Jace, I cannot deny how gorgeous he is.

Even their personalities are stark different - jealousy aside. Even though Jace is overconfident and stoic, he can be loving and cuddly all at once. He knows what to say and what to do when I think no one can. Eli treats me like one of the guys. He knows how to comfort me, but he doesn’t offer it like Jace does. I cannot imagine him laying with me for hours when I’m sick, or snuggling in front of a chick flick. I tried it once and within ten minutes the DVD was switched for a more action filled genre.

I look down as I see movement beside me and see Jace reaching out for me. He takes my hand and I know the golden silence around us is about to shatter. He’s been so patient since we woke up and he and Eli have been amicable. I know what’s to come and I know full well I cannot simply deny him answers. He knows the bare basics, so he is going to want me to fill in the gaps that Eli made when explaining what happened.

"So you were in there for nearly twenty hours and she made no hint at letting you out?" Jace asks me and I just shrugged. I didn't know anything until it happened, so asking me is pointless. "She does realize she can be thrown into a cell for force imprisonment?"

I snort at that. "You think she cares?" I look to him incredulously. "She wanted me punished and she got that from doing this. There's nothing else to it. She did the one thing she wanted and that's the bottom line."

"Why did you wind up there?" He asks the all-important, million dollar question and my heart thrashes fiercely within me.

Jace's question pierces right through me and I can feel my lips pulling into a tight, straight line. He can't know. He can't know. He can't know. The mantra is on repeat, distracting me from finding an adequate lie.

"You didn't." His voice is nothing more than a gasp and it's so full of horror I cringe.
