Chapter 20

Rose's Pov:

I'm on my way back through town too in shock to put any words together, my hands still shaking of my encounter with Jace, I needed to get home without having an accident so I just breathed in and out "Okay Rose you can deal with this you've dealt with worse before it's nothing everything's perfect" I say out loud but everything was way far from perfect my mother was away And I needed her but I knew if I told her about this encounter she would just talk about the marriage proposal again and I didn't need that so the only two people I could turn too were the girls and it's about time they knew what I went through and what lies in front of me I turn the bike down Victoria street and park in front of their house, I sigh deeply and knock on the door Richelle answers and immediately know somethings wrong she sees the fear lingering in my eyes and my shaking form her eyebrows furrow "Rose are you okay?" She questions but than I shake my head as my eyes well up in tears she opened the door wide and pulled me in hugging me, I look around as I sniffled "Where are your parents?" I questioned she gave me a look of worry while saying "There out it's date night now what's wrong hun?" She said as she helped me towards the sofa, as Janelle was called out by Richelle, "Hold on I'll make a hot chocolate and will have marshmallows" Janelle said while nodding a bit crazy making me laugh a little, as soon as she finishes the hot chocolates and places them on the coffee table they sit in silence as I gulped, "There's something you should know, something I never told you or my family and I don't know how you will react or if you'll look at me the same way..." I say scared that I'm going to lose them, Janelle than replied in care "No matter how bad it is we will stick by you like glue" I take a deep breath in as I told them everything not leaving out a single detail like reliving the horrid memories that scared me and gave me nightmares, there faces changed drastically from everything I said looks of pity, shock and tears, as I finished telling them I looked down at my hands prepared for them to kick me out call me a murderer the devil in disguise but they didn't they grabbed my hands looking at each-other "You did what you had to and you at least have the conscience to feel guilty and sad for what you did, Jace will not take you from us we will keep this to ourselves no matter what happens will be there for you no matter the consequences" Richelle says while Janelle nods in agreement as I let out the tears that I've been holding for two years Jake, Dad, mum and Jace.

I stayed the night at there house and called Reece's number he answers in worry.

Reece: "Little sis where are you I'm with two men that say there our step brothers?" He questions

Rose: I sniffle trying to sound happy "I'll be there don't you worry but tommorow I needed to be here with the twins tonight... away from the brothers I'm still a bit confused about the whole situation"I replied

Reece: "What happened little sis?" He asks

Rose: "I encountered Jace Reece..." I say sighing 

Reece: "What? Is mum still thinking about the marriage?!" He exclaims in shock

Rose: "Yes she is Reece and she won't stop thinking about it" I say annoyed.

Reece: "Don't worry little sis it won't happen I promised dad" he says reassuring me

Rose: I smile while talking "I know you will but I need to sleep Reece try and forget about it" but I knew I wouldn't be able to as Jace plagues my nightmares.

Reece: "Okay little sis I'll see you tomorrow sweet dreams love you" he replied in a comforting voice

Rose: "I love you too..." I say holding the tears in as I ended the call.

I crawl into Richelle's queen size bed as I'm in the middle of Janelle and Richelle as they hug me "We both love you and will protect you" Janelle said as they both squeeze me but I knew for a fact they couldn't because he was Lucifer walking and he would find me, do whatever he could to force my hand, I knew what he was capable of....he would do anything to claim me even if it meant threatening to assassinate anyone who was involved in my life, I couldn't escape him now not again because he has me in his grasp and I'm terrified.
