Page 73 of Make You Wish You Were Dead
"I just need to talk to Jane. Don't let Cole outside until you see me walking out the front door. Once I leave this house then let him go."
"And what are you going to do once you leave this house?"
"I'm going to find out what the fuck my brother did and if he is lucky enough he will leave my apartment with no injuries."
Ace smirks. "And if he isn't?"
"Guess we'll find out." I push him away from me. "Get him the fuck out of this house," I say before walking out of the hallway and towards the backyard.
My mind right now is on so much shit.
Cole told me about the rest of my brothers and sisters.
Fucking Andrew did some stupid shit again that involves Jane.
The girl I'm in fucking love with.
Fucking love.
Shit.
I wish things could be different. I wish it was just us two in the world all alone with no one to bother us or ruin us.
It can just be her and I.
I walk towards the garden and as I get closer to where Jane was sitting at the bench before dinner, I hear crying and then a feminine voice whispering.
I turn the corner and see Jane who is looking up at the sky, crying, and then Thalia who is hugging her, whispering in her ear.
I walk close which makes Thalia look up.
"She doesn't want to see anyone right now," Thalia says, which makes Jane look at me and shake her head. "You need to go, Rowan."
"Jane-" I start but Jane shakes her head.
"Please leave," she cries.
"You need-"
"Please leave. I don't want to see you. Please," she begs as tears roll down her face. I take one hesitant step closer and that's when she loses it. She stands up and walks towards me. She puts her hands on my chest and pushes me away. "Just leave! Fucking leave!" She starts to punch my chest so I catch her wrist to make her stop.
"Jane-"
"Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go! Leave! I don't want to see you! This was all a fucking game to you!" she yells and pushes me away from her. "Just leave! Fuckng leave! I wish I never met you!"
"Rowan, just go," Thalia says as she touches Jane's shoulder and grabs her forearm.
I look at Jane and she still has tears running down her face but she isn’t screaming or whimpering, just staring at me with hurt in her eyes.
"Just know Jane, that I love you. And because I love you I'm going to leave. But don't think for a second I won't come back because I will," I say but Jane says and does nothing.
I turn on my heel and walk away from her, leaving my heart in her hands to do anything she wants with it.
I walk through the house, ignoring Cole's yells. I leave the house through the front door and see Andrew leaning against my car, wiping his lip that has blood on it.
Fucking Ace De Luca.
"Rowan-"
