MERCS
Chatting to Kiera when she’s having a bad day always manages to get me down. I hate that she’s feeling sick today, but I love the fact that when she needs to talk to me she isn’t afraid to call me, just to hear my voice. I miss her like crazy, and I wish I could do something to speed up the treatment process for her, but now with my debt to Hex I feel like I’m in deeper than I was when I started. But I will find a way to help Kiera.
I have to.
But right now, my girl is at the after party downstairs waiting for me, and I need to go and spend some quality time with her. I make my way into the elevator, the crappy music doing nothing for me, but I smile casually with the knowledge that the music and atmosphere in the bar will be a thousand times better.
The elevator doors open and I walk out, not really paying much attention. The dull thumping of the music makes me grin slightly wondering what craziness is going on in there already.
I glance up toward the bar, and I get a shock at the sight in front of me.
Effa, in the arms of Jett.
She’s hanging off him like he’s her lifeline. Her eyes glancing up at him as if she’s completely lost in his gaze as he holds onto her tightly. I stop on the spot as I tense up swallowing hard, and then Effa stumbles. Furrowing my brows it appears as if she’s completely drunk.
Surely, Effa couldn’t have gotten blink drunk in the short amount of time she’s been down here? She’s only been here all of thirty minutes.
Jett’s grip around her tightens as he starts to lead her away from the party.
Anger ignites inside of me, and I race forward. I don’t know what his game is, but I sure as hell am not letting him take her anywhere. Effa begins to trip and fall against him as his grip on her tightens. Jett hoists her up against his body.
I run faster.
My feet barreling like a mad sprinter to get to her, as I try to piece together what the hell I’m seeing.
Jett’s eyes are firmly looking at Effa, watching her, studying her inebriated state as she sways against him. But Effa looks up to me. Her eyes are glassy, almost closed, as I run as fast as I can to get to her. My chest squeezing tight from the amount of adrenaline running through my system.
Something’s not right.
Her eyes meet mine, her lips move saying something, but I can’t hear her over the dull beats of the music.
I rush forward, finally reaching them. “Get the hell off her,” I yell as my arms reach out shoving Jett away.
He grunts as he’s forced from her, his hands let her go with the impact of my hit, and he almost falls backward while he stumbles on the spot.
I turn just in time to
