Bad Intentions

Fourty-Two

Silence.

We stood in silence.

Did I hear him correctly? Like my mind is not playing games on me, right?

Because what I did hear is that girl is Jace's girlfriend.

What!?

"Did you just say that? That girl is your girlfriend?" I said stunned.

He didn't answer.

I shoved his shoulder with every word."You don't get to drop a bomb like that and stay silent!"

Jace grabbed my hand.  "I can explain."

"Well you better start fucking explaining." I gritted out. Anger was all I could feel. All this time and he never mentioned he had a girlfriend. All this time.

He pulled me to the back of the school and opened the double doors. Leading us into a dark empty classroom. I was very resistant every step of the way at one point he took both my hands and dragged me along.

I glared at him as he closed the door. If my eyes could shoot lasers this would be the time!

He sat on top of the empty teacher desk that was in front of the classroom. He gestured for me to sit a the desk beside me.

I was stubborn and stood right in place.

He sighed and ran a hand through his dark hair. "Please sit." He pleaded.

I rolled my eyes, but stood my ground.

"Please."

I stubbornly took the seat and dropped my backpack on the ground right next to my feet.

"You want answers and I'm here to give you answers." Jace started. His deep voice steady.

"Yes, that girl you saw in the parking lot is my girlfriend. But then she's not. To the eye of the public she is, but in private she's just a really good friend doing me a favor."

I furrowed my brows in confusion, but let him continue.

"Her name is Allison. She's about a year older than us and has been by Dominic's side longer then I have. We met on the first day he brought me in and had stood by my side since then. Showing me the ropes, protecting me at all cost. She's like an older sister. Dominic trusts her more than anyone. As he should, she is his step-daughter."

I choked on the air. "What?"

He nodded. "Allison is Dominic's step-daughter."

Something is not adding up. "Why is she helping you destroy her father?"

"Dominic over took her family's business. Broke it down till it was nothing and utilized it until it was no more for his benefit. To keep her family afloat, her mother ended up marrying him. He always had his eyes on her even while destroying her parent's hard work. Allison was very young when this happened and her mother ended up passing away a few years later. She only found out about everything two years ago by a letter that was hidden in her mother's jewelry box."
