Chapter 71

Naomi's POV


I opened my eyes and I grabbed my phone, it was two in the morning. Jake was knocked out asleep, I got up easy and I slipped a pillow under his arm I went to my closet and grabbed some clothes.


I had on white tank top and a red plaid button up shirt, I pulled on jeans and converses. I left my hair down and I slipped my phone in my back pocket. I glanced at Jake again, I walked downstairs and grabbed my keys. I walked out to my car getting in, I let out a breath and pulled out.


I stopped and I saw the big gray building, I pulled down visor and kissed two fingers and laid it on the picture. I got out and I walked into the dark warehouse.


"Hello?" I called, a hand slapped over my mouth and a arm wrapped around my waist. I muffled a scream and I tried to get loose.


"Let her go," I heard that vague but unforgettable voice. The person let go and I looked at who it was, I didn't recognize him. "Naomi." I looked and met his bright blue eyes. "You actually came, I began to believe you stood me up."


"I should've," I said. "I'm taking a big risk here, do you understand how angry my guy would be if he knew I was here?"


"Jealous," he said.


"What am I doing here Grey?" I asked. "Haven't you done enough?"


"Look Naomi, I'm sorry for everything I done to you. I have to live with that shit for the rest of my life, regret digging at me. I know I hurt you-"


"Hurt me?" I asked and I laughed. "You didn't hurt me. You shattered me into pieces, you broke me to where I can't be fixed. I freak out every storm because of the fear of hearing those footsteps again."


"But Jake takes care of you," he said. "Sometimes at least."


"Hey, Jake's a jerk but I'm the only one who can trash him," I said. "Our relationship is a little special, but that's just us."


"You don't see it do you?" He asked. "You always only saw what you wanted."


"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked.


"Jake's fear is making you think he's like me," he said.


"Well duh," I said. "Look, Jake has a temper and he does dumb shit. Like sleeping with another girl."


"Naomi, why do you go back to him if he hurts you?" He asked. "You got out, I made you promise me you'd never let a guy treat you like I did."


"Jake hit me at the beginning of our time, but he hasn't hit me since," I said. "He just yells which really isn't any better."


"You're blinded by love," he said.


"I got someone to accept me, he took a shattered girl and he loved me," I said. "He risked everything to be with me."


"That's not how it started, is it?" He asked.


"Jake was a player, of course that was his plan," I said.


"What was yours?" He asked. "You knew he would try to sleep with you. Why would you take that risk?"


"I wasn't ready that day, I wasn't ready to do it with him," I said. "But I was too scared to say no, the fear of rejection. Jake could have ruined my life and I didn't want to take that chance."


"You're crazy," he said. "But there's just things you don't know about Jake."


"There's things about me he doesn't know," I said. "He knows about the house. He knows about you three and what you done to me. He doesn't what I done in there."


"Ok, you told on us but not yourself?" He asked.


"You can't exactly look at your boyfriend and tell him you killed someone Grey," I said.


"Naomi-"


"I can't get that shit out of my head," I said.


"It was self defense," he said.


"He doesn't know about the aftershock," I said. "If Casey didn't have those eyes, I would've she was yours."


"Look, either way, Jake would accept you and you know that," he said.


"Don't tell me what he would do, nobody knows Jake like I do," I said.


"Naomi, I know I'll get your forgiveness and I don't deserve it," he said. "But I can't take it back. I don't that stuff so they wouldn't, I didn't want them touching you."


"Be a man and live up to your mistake Greyson," I snapped.


"I'm sorry," He said. "I'm doing good right now. I'm in college."


"Why should I give a damn how you're doing?" I asked.


"I have a kid," he said.


"What?" I asked.


"I got a girl pregnant and she didn't want the baby," he said. "I couldn't let her put that baby in the system."


"You're raising a baby?" I asked.


"Yeah," he said. "It's a boy."


"Where is he?" I asked.


"At the college, my friend is watching him," he said.


"I have to go," I said.


"I know," he said, I walked to him and I threw my arms around his neck. He lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He gripped my hair and hugged me tight. He sat me down and I pushed my hair back. "Bye baby girl."


"Bye Grey," I said and walked out, I walked to my car and got in, I drove home and got out. I walked upstairs and to my room, Jake wasn't there. Shit. I hurried and got changed back into my pajamas, I walked to the nursery and Jake was feeding Sadie. "Jake." He looked up at me.


"Hey," he said softly.


"Are you mad?" I asked.


"Let me finish with her," he said, I nodded and he burped her and laid her back down. I walked out with him fight behind me, I went to my room and I turned to him. He shut the door and looked at me. "Where were you?"


"I got hungry," I said.


"Don't lie to me," he said. "Where did you go? Who were you with?"


"You think I cheated," I said.


"Yes Naomi, I do," he said. "For payback."


"You asshole, I wouldn't cheat on you," I snapped.


"Naomi, I'm not yelling at you, don't get an attitude with me," he said.


"Do you know how stupid that sounds?" I asked. "You know what? I don't care." I started to walk past him but he grabbed me, he sat me on the bed.


"Not anymore," he said. "I'm sorry I accused you of cheating. But when you wake up and your girl is gone, you get scared."


"I know," I said softly, he brushed a piece of hair from my face and touched my face.


"Tell me the truth babydoll," he said.


"You're gonna get mad at me," I said.


"Unless you slept with another dude, I won't be mad," he said.


"I went to see Grey," I said.


"What?" He asked.


"He was at my work and he left me a note for me to meet him," I said.


"Baby, why would you see him?" He asked. "Did he hurt you?"


"Jake, I'm fine," I said. "It helps to talk to someone who knows your past."


"I know your past," he said.


"But he lived it with me," I said. "You know stories." He looked away. "Hey." He looked at me.


"I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you," he said.


"Jake, I have some stuff to tell you," I said. "But I'm gonna tell you all."


"Ok," he said. "Let's get some sleep." We climbed in the bed and laid down, I cuddled up against his warm body. "I love you."


"I love you too," I said and fell asleep.


~


"Ok, what're we doing here?" Macy asked. "We got kicked out last time."


"You guys have to open minded with this," I said.


"We can't be too serious with you breastfeeding Parker in front of us," Aaron said, I had Parker in a wrap carrier and feeding him.


"Oh shut up," I said, I finished and I burped him.


"What is it?" Jake asked feeding Casey.


"You guys don't know much about the house, I wanted to keep it that way," I said. "I can't because I know you guys are curios."


"Yeah," Leanna said.


"Skye," Ethan said. "Are you sure?"


"Yeah," I said. "So, it all started at this hell house."


Finished telling them and they stared at me, the girls had tears in their eyes.


"Naomi, I know this," Jake said.


"You know what they did to me, but I done stuff I'm not proud of," I said.


"Like what?" He asked.


"I um, I've killed someone before," I said and it got silent.


"I'll just take Parker," Justice said and took Parker. "Jake, you slept with a murderer."


"It's not like that," I said.


"Did someone make you end someone's life?" Jake asked.


"When you listen to someone beg for their life but that person still pulls the trigger," I said. "You can't control what you do."


"What?" Simone asked.


"She begged for her life, crying and coughing on her sobs," I said.


"What?" Ethan asked.


"It all started when I got dropped off at some random house," I started.


I looked at the unfamiliar girl as she messed with my oily black hair. My body was nasty from not taking a shower, I wanted one really bad.


"Put this on sweetie," she said, I slipped on the black dress. It stopped on my thighs and crossed on my neck. It had a opening showing showing my chest. "Good thing your filled up there." She threw black heels at my feet and I slipped them on, they were really high but I was short. She started doing my make up.


"No, Grey told me I couldn't wear that," I said.


"I got this," she said and she started on my eyes and my face. "Open your mouth." She put red lipstick on my lips and I rubbed them together.


"It hurts," I said as she plucked my eyebrows.


"Beauty is pain," she said. "You gotta be good tonight."


"I don't know where we're going," I said.


"Mike said if you don't obey, he'll make you black out when you get home," she said.


"Ok," I said, I looked in the body mirror. I looked like I was much older, I looked slutty. She didn't look any better, she had on a black dress also, with black very high heels.


"Come on," she said and we walked out, we walked downstairs and I saw a black girl. She was wearing a red dress and her hair was really curly in a puffy do. She was pretty but she looked slutty also, I walked out with them and I saw two men standing by car.


"Where's Grey?" I asked, me going with random people wasn't new, but those with guns. It was new.


"Sh, remember what Mike said," the strange black girl said.


"Well hello Sunshine," the man said to the white girl. "And you too Candy." She looked at me. "This is her?"


"Yeah," Sunshine said, they put me in the back and I was in the middle of one of the men and Candy. We started riding but I couldn't see anything. The man put his hand on my leg but I pushed it off.


"Don't touch me," I said, we stopped I saw bright lights from a club. We got out and I stumbled, I caught my balance and he back handed me.


"Hey, we don't want her bruised," the other man snapped, I moved my jaw and I followed them. They walked into the club and I followed behind them, I pushed through the sweaty women dancing on horny men. I wrinkled my nose in disgust, they sat me on a bar stool.


"Straight," the man said, they slid a shot glass of clear liquid. He put it in front of me. "Drink it." I swallowed and I chugged it down, the liquid burned my throat and I coughed.


"Liquor?" I asked.


"Go make friends," he said.


"I hope I get kidnapped," I mumbled and I walked away. I saw a boy leaning against the counter, he had a bottle of water. I think it was at least. He looked so bored, his hair was black and his eyes were dark from the different lights. Someone suddenly grabbed me and I gasped. "Hey don't touch me." I looked to see another man. "Damn." He pulled me through the crowd and he threw me out the door making me stumble. I went to say something but I saw a guy, maybe 20 at least. His hair brown and eyes dark green, they looked so evil.


"I got her from here," he said and I gulped, I looked at his muscles and they were huge. He grabbed me and I whimpered at his grip. "I'm sorry, it's gonna be ok." He grabbed my hand and he pulled me, he walked around and I saw a hotel. It was nice.


"Ow," I slipped and he looked at me.


"Are you ok?" He asked, never fall for sympathy.


"Yeah," I said and sucked up the pain in my feet. We walked in and I looked around, he pulled me up to the elevator. We rode up and he walked me into a room, it was nice. He looked at me.


"They've got you looking wow," he said.


"Right, cause I don't look like a slut at all," I said, I waited for the slap but he laughed.


"You're a funny girl," he said. "Go take a shower while I get food." I wasn't gonna argue with that. All I've ate is a pop tart. I walked to the bathroom and I stripped, I got in the shower and scrubbed my colored face. I just washed my body about three times and my hair about four. I got out and I didn't see my clothes.


"No," I mumbled, I saw a see through black lace robe instead. I grabbed it and put it on, I walked out and saw something on the bed. I walked closer to see black lingerie bra and underwear set. I closed my eyes and I breathed out. I put it on and I pulled on black lace socks that hooked to a waist belt. I fixed my hair a little and I put on a black and white silk pajama set and I sat on the bed.


The door soon opened and I jumped off the bed, a man and I think the other was a guy. He had a hoodie on covering his face.


"Listen, what he's says you do," the man said. "You don't and you get your ass beat." He looked me up and down. "Enjoy your present."


"I will," yep he was a guy, the man walked out and I bit my lip.


"How can I be at your service?" I asked, he pushed his hood back and I stopped. It was him, the one from the club.


"You can start by helping me get these clothes off," he said, I walked to him and pulled his hoodie off. I stayed to unbutton his shirt.


"My name is Naomi," I said. "Grey usually says that you guys name me."


"Naomi is a pretty name, I like it," he said. "But you can call me Blake." I looked up at him as I pushed his shirt off. I backed up as he pulled off his pants, I turned and I grabbed him a pair of basketball shorts. I tossed them to him. "Me wearing this is a problem for you?"


"I would get in trouble if they knew where I am," I said.


"Not with me," he said, he sat on the bed and I looked at him.


"Look, I haven't ate in almost a week," I said and I got closer. "What can I do to get food?"


"Take off those pajamas," he said as I swallowed and closed my eyes. I back up and I unbuttoned each button. "Slow." I done each button slow and I flipped my hair back. "Turn around." I pulled off my shorts slow and he grabbed me. He unhooked the pieces connecting to my belt. He kissed my neck and I gulped. "I'll get the food princess." He pressed his lips against my temple and walked out.


"Oh my god," Simone said. "I wouldn't freaked as soon as I saw guns."


"Worst move ever," I said.


"Ok where's the rest?" Jake asked. "Who's the boy?" I looked down at my phone and I sent a quick text. "Naomi, hello?"


"Wait, it's not only my story to tell," I said, I heard the door open and close.


"Hey, you're suppose to knock," I heard someone, then Jace, Liam, and Rex walked in.


"Oh hell no," Aaron said. "How do they know this and not us?"


"What're you telling?" Rex asked. "I swear Hensley I will kick your ass now." He looked and saw Parker. "It's the baby."


"I want him," Liam said and he went and took him from Justice. "You are too adorable."


"Hey, pay attention," Jace said and he looked at me. "What're you telling Hensley?"


"I saw Grey," I said.


"What?" Liam asked.


"Yeah," I said. "He came to my job and he wanted me to meet him."


"That was Grey?" Simone asked.


"I couldn't tell you," I said. "Anyway, is it ok if I continue?"


"Sure, I'd love to hear your side," Rex said.


Blake came back and I sat up and I got off the bed. It wasn't Blake.


"Wait, who're you?" I asked and backhanded me. "Blake!"


"Shut up," he snapped and kicked my stomach. He yanked me up by hair.


"Hey she's mine, get lost," Blake snapped walking in, he sat the food down. "Let her go and get out." He walked out and Blake jogged to me, he caught as I almost fell. "I got you."


"I'm fine," I said, he picked me up and sat me on the bed. He put the food in front of me and I opened the tray. It was KFC. He got a rag and dabbed my busted lip. "You're just like them, aren't you?"


"I'm a beginner," he said. "My dad surprised me with you." I looked at him.


"Either way you're gonna hurt me," I said.


"Basically," he said and I closed my eyes. "I'm not gonna hurt you that much, just enough for them." He sat beside me and I kept eating, he took the spoon and started feeding me.


"I'm suppose to serve you," I said.


"You looking like that, you're serving me enough," he said and I blushed red, I finished and he took it away.


"He didn't say that," Jace said.


"I'm pretty sure he said that," I said.


"You gotta relax, princess," he whispered and kissed my neck and went lower. I touched his back and touched his face.


"I don't and to hear how you slept with a random dude," Jake said and I looked at him.


"Your words better be watched because I will kick your ass," I snapped. "I skip."


I had on head on Blake's check and my leg over his waist. I was touching his abs, we were both still bare. He was playing with my hair and I closed my eyes.


"Don't sleep," he said.


"Please, I'm sleepy," I said.


"You gotta get dressed, they'll be coming soon," he said.


"Are they gonna hurt me?" I asked.


"No you're going home," he said. "I'll make sure." I got up and I kept my body covered with the blankets. "Come on, we'll take a shower together. Then you'll have clothes." I followed him and we got in the shower.


"Skip," Aaron said.


"What? No, I wanna hear it," Macy said. "Did you do it again?"


"No," I said.


Blake tugged the white shirt over my head and buttoned up the plaid shirt. He helped me put the basketball shorts on and he kissed me and I smiled.


"I gotta get dressed," I said.


"Don't go, stay with me," he said.


"I can't, Mike would kill me if I don't come. That's not an exaggeration," I said.


"Ok," he said and I put some shoes on.


"How can I get these back to you?" I asked.


"Keep them," he said, I smiled and I took my necklace off and gave it to him.


"You can remember me by this," I said and he took it. He grabbed my arm and I whimpered at the bruise the man left earlier.


"I gotta do it," he said, he pulled me out and I saw a man coming towards us. "Shit. Run."


"But-"


"Now," he hissed and I ran, I skidded and ran upstairs.


"Sunshine! Candy!" I yelled, I busted through the door and I ran into a room. I saw Sunshine asleep on the bed with a guy. I heard footsteps and I ran and hid in the closet. I covered my mouth as the door busted down. The girl and the guy shot up.


"What's happening?" She asked, he grabbed her hair and jerked her down. She groaned and he kicked her. I bit my lip and held back my whimper.


"Please," she said. "I'm sorry you can't have her but it's not my fault." He hit her with the bottom of the gun. "I'll go with you."


"You're just a slut," he hissed and shot her, I gasped and his eyes shot towards the closet. I gulped and it suddenly opened and the other guy jerked my out by my hair.


"Ah," I hissed and tried clawing his hand.


"Blake liked you, too bad it's all gotta end," he said.


"No, I'll stay with him," I said quickly.


"You've seen too much," he said, something went against my temple and I stared him down.


"Wait," I said. "What's that?" I pointed at a random spot and they looked, I elbowed the man and grabbed the gun. I knocked him out and I pointed it at the man, he stopped coming towards me. "Idiots."


"Put it down before you hurt yourself," he said, I pulled the trigger and shot his wrist. "Ah!"


"Say sorry," I said.


"Forget it you bitch," he snapped and I shot his ankle.


"Two words," I said.


"Go to hell bitch," he spat. "You're just like your father. A coward, you don't have the guts to kill someone." I gulped and he came towards me, he lunge for me and tackled me. I put it to his chest and pulled he trigger. I pushed him off and I got off, I heard running footsteps and Blake ran in.


"Are you ok?" He asked, he looked at the man and the guy. "Naomi." I dropped the bullets in my hand and threw them, I dropped the gun and I ran to him. I threw my arms around him.


"Who is he Blake?" I asked.


"Nobody," he said.


"I got back to house and Grey was waiting for me," I said.


"What? After what you went through?" Justice asked.


"No, he held me," I said. "He made me promise that I'd never tell what I saw. It's not like I planned to tell."


"Why didn't Trey tell us this?" Liam asked.


"Because Trey doesn't know and neither does Dre," I said.


"You have to tell him," Ethan said.


"Be glad I told you," I said, the three soon left and it was just us. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have twins to get to sleep and I'm taking a nap myself." I walked to Jake and he looked away. "I trust you with this, don't make me regret it." He looked at me and he kissed my neck.


"Go rest princess, you can work on your homework when you wake up," he said softly.


"Thank you," I said and walked away.


Jake's POV


It stayed quiet after five minutes of Naomi leaving, I was holding Sadie and they were looking at me.


"What?" I asked.


"That's it?" Aaron asked. "She was sold for prostitution and she doesn't know it."


"She knows it," Ethan said.


"She killed someone, this doesn't bother anyone?" Justice asked.


"If she wouldn't have killed him, he would've killed her," I said. "Now, I have to lay the twins down so can you get out?"


"Ugh!" They groaned and got up, I picked up Parker and I looked behind me at Casey. They left and I started walking.


"McKenna, let's go," I said, she followed behind me as I walked upstairs. I walked to the nursery laying the twins down. I laid them on the changing tables and I changed them. Casey walked in with her blanket and I smiled. "One second baby girl." I laid the twins down and I scooped her up, I walked to her room and laid her down. I laid beside her and I patted her back. "Princess, so simple."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


What's up penguin ducks? Here is the longest chapter I've ever wrote and relationship drama free. Satisfied now?


Anyway, I'm editing the book if some of you don't know. So, the chapter aren't as confusing but main points are still the same.


I'm adding pictures of the nursery and of Casey's room soon. I also added a picture of Jace and Dre. Go check them out if you want too, you don't have good. Lazies.


Ok, I gotta get going so bye mains!


P.S. There's two girls I love on here, they've helped me come up with ideas for a lot of my books. Im_2Extra and KaylieMeyer3. You two earned this!
