It has been a week since the family dinner from hell. Jayson and I have been keeping an eye out for Taelin, but with every little luck. I have seen her around the campus, but I cannot get to her fast enough to talk with her before she disappears. Jayson has been having the same problem. I should have known it would not be easy to find her so the two of us could speak with her. Taelin has always been able to go unseen. I am not sure where she learned that, but she is damn good at it. The weather has been on her side as well. It has cooled down significantly. This means she is wearing beanies so her hair is covered and hoodies which can help conceal her from everyone as well. I was hoping that we would have found her by now and cleared everything up, but that is not the case. I look around once again before someone punches me in the arm. I shoot a glare at the perpetrator.
“Come on we have to get to practice.” Nick says.
“I know, but this is driving me crazy.” I admit.
“I know, but we will find her. She cannot hide forever. I think we should get Etta and Marnie involved. I know they will not bring her to you and Jayson, but it is possible that they could convince her to talk with the two of you.” Colton points out.
“True, I will ask them if they would help. I have a feeling that it will not be that easy. We spoke with Dad last night and she is still refusing to discuss what happened between us.” I told them.
Jayson and I are out of ideas. We understand that what we said was shitty and it could have been said better, but damn at least let us explain. We had planned on telling her how we both felt about her when she came to live with us, but so far nothing we had planned has gone right. We also apologized to Zoe for dragging her into our fucking family drama. She told us not to worry about it. I take one last look around before following the others to practice.
Later that night after we had gotten back from practice Jayson called Etta and Marnie asking if they could come over. Of course they said yes and I knew that Rich and Nick would be with them. Etta and Marnie had been best friends since we were in diapers. We knew they were both in to polyamory. We didn’t care since Jayson and I had decided to share Taelin once she turned 18. Last year they had met Nick and Rich who were, to our surprise, into the same thing. The four of them worked well together. I was surprised to find out that they added a fifth person, Evan, to there little group. They all ended up moving into a house near ours and so far everything has gone well. I hope once we talk everything out with Taelin that things go well between the three of us. With the way shit is going I am not sure that is ever going to happen.
“Okay we are here. What do you want?” Marnie asked.
“We need yours and Etta’s help.” I whined.
“You want us to talk with Taelin and see if we can get her to talk the two of you.” Etta exclaimed.
“Yes, please will you help us. We have tried all week, but she is way to good at avoiding and all we get a quick glimpse of her but she disappears before we can get to her.” Jayson states.
“Fine, we will help or at least try. They two of you have to understand that even though she denies it what you said really hurt her. We understand why you said it and we agree that all those other stuck up bitches would have started shit, but you should have taken her aside at home when you first noticed her distancing herself from the two of you and all of this could have been avoided.” Marnie points out.
“Yeah, we know, but we can’t change what happened, but we are trying to fix it now.” I comment.
I watch as Jayson grabs his coat and walks towards the door. Lucas tags along with him. This is what we have been doing for the last week. Tomorrow night I will do the same thing. So far we haven’t had any luck. Honestly we are hoping to stumble across her while we are out walking around. We have asked around but no one has seen her or no one is admitting to seeing her.
“Where are Jayson and Lucas going?” Martie asked.
“We have been taking turns going out after practice and looking for Taelin. It sounds stupid but we are hoping to run across her.” I admit.
Yeah I hate that look. Martie and Etta are giving me that look. I turn away taking a drink of my water. Someone sat down beside me making me glance over my shoulder to see Etta sitting there. I turn my attention to the tv.
“Hey I wasn’t trying to be condescending and I sure as hell wasn’t trying to pity you. Martie and I know how much you and Jayson want her we just didn’t realize that the two of you had it this bad.” Etta told me.
I know, these last two years have been hard. We have tried calling and texting her, but she never responds. Janelle told us that she changed her number because she was receiving numerous spam calls, but Jayson and I know it was so we couldn’t contact her. We tried to find her on social media but either she doesn't have any social media accounts (which I doubt) or they are under a pseudonym. Daymon puts on a movie to distract us. It won't but I thank him for trying.
“I take it you weren’t successful in your search.” I state.
“No, but we did find someone that saw her a couple of blocks over. The guy says that he sees her everyday, but he never sees her coming from or going into any of the houses. I don’t think she lives there but she must walk that way to get to her classes.” Jayson told me.
Well fuck, finally a break. At least now we know what area to stake out. Jayson tells us where she has been seen and damn she was close by, well she at least walked close by to get to class. Sleep doesn’t come easy that night. I have way to much running through my mind. Something about this whole situation isn’t sitting well with me. I know Dad told her where our house was, but she had never come to visit when they did so she has never been here. This is why she hasn’t been seen walking past our place. If I was right then she has been taking an alternative route because the main route to the campus was our street. I climbed put of bed and climbed the stairs to the roof top deck. We had that added on last minute during the renovation. I wasn’t surprised to see Jayson sitting in one of the chairs. I dropped down into the other chair. We didn’t need to say anything. We knew why each other was here. I turned my gaze towards all the other residences around us. Somewhere out there my kitten is laying in a bed alone. I have no idea how long the two of us sat there, but finally we both climbed back down the stairs and went to our room.
Week three of college has started. I both love and hate this time of year. I love the fall and all the changes in colour, but I hate that it is getting cold. I didn’t grow up in this weather. Mom and I moved here about a year before she met David. Her job had transferred her and we both thought it would be a good thing for us. A fresh start. I hadn’t known that all of my adoptive uncles had a gym here until I walked in and saw Uncle Stanton. They were surprised and thrilled that we would be living closer to them. This is also how Mom met David. It was a warm day for this time of year so I decided to study outside. I had been out here for about fifteen minutes when I noticed a shadow above me. I glance up to see Zoe standing there. I shouldn’t take my hurt and anger out on her, but she is the last person I wanted to see. She was nervous and I could tell she wasn't sure if she should talk to me or not. “I was wondering if we could talk?” Zoe asked. “Sure have a seat. If this about Ja
Alexi and I were sitting in Dad’s office when our phones started blowing up. No one was calling, but an alarm that our IT unit had installed on everyone’s phone was popping up. It was only triggered if someone was taken. Shit who the fuck was taken? Everyone that had the alert was already asking what the fuck was going on. I looked at Alexi but he was as fucking confused as I was. “Where is she headed to?” Dad asked. I had not realized that he had been talking to someone until I heard him ask where she was. She, I do not like the sound of that. I dialed Zoe’s number, but it went straight to voicemail. Fucking red flags started going off. I noticed Alexi trying to call her as well and again it went straight to voicemail. I knew it was not Zoe who Dad was talking about. Shit did someone kidnap Janelle? “Did someone kidnap Janelle?” I asked. “No, but I expect Janelle to call soon. I am sure that she got the alarm on her phone.” Dad told us. Janelle did not call, but she came into
I lost my mind when I saw that fucker holding my kitten. I could tell that her hands were tied which pissed me off even more. The weird thing is that she did not look upset. Taelin stood there with a smirk. Zoe on the other hand looked like she was going to pass out. She was scared shitless, and I hated that look on her face. When Dad started talking to the fucker that was standing between Zoe and Taelin, I could not figure out how dad knew him. I looked at him better and I thought that I might know him. When he said his name was Dontay, I knew who he was. Dad, Mike, and Raul ran his family out of town years ago. They were told never to come back. I should have known Zoe’s father was behind this shit. I am not surprised he sold Zoe to this fucker. When that guy grabbed Zoe’s hair, I knew shit was going to hit the fan. I saw Jayson grab Daymon by the arm. I watched as Taelin smiled and I had a bad feeling that she was going to do something. Holy fucking hell, I had no idea that my kitte
I needed to use the bathroom, so I did. I watched as they went straight to Zoe. I know she told me that she had no interest in them, and she might not, but they seem to want her. I did what I needed to in the bathroom and then while everyone was distracted, I stealthily left the house. I knew no one saw me and I made sure to text mom as I was taken back to campus. Our driver gave me a ride, but I told him to drop me off by the dorms. I walked back home and smiled when I was greeted by Ombra (shadow in Italian) and Tigro (Tigger in Italian) as I shut the door. They have both grown a little this last week. They both rubbed against my legs as I looked down at them. I made my way into my bedroom for a shower. I slowly peeled my clothes off as I had decided to have a bath instead. I let out a groan as I stepped into the tub. The hot water slowly soaked into my muscles relaxing them. I knew I would be sore in the morning. I had bumped into something during the fight and one of those assholes
I slept like shit last night. Daymon and Lucas were asleep when we got home from Taelin’s place. I hated to leave her knowing that she was hurt, but I had to respect her request. I knew that was a lot to dump on her and I felt shitty doing it, but she needed to know how Jayson and I felt. I thought I fucked up when I kissed her, but I had no idea how to stop her from rambling on and on. I stood under the shower for I do not know how long before turning it off. I grabbed a towel wrapping it around my waist as I wiped the steam off the mirror. I looked at myself and let out a sigh. I walked out of the bathroom to find Jayson sitting on the bed. He was looking at his phone. I went into the closet and grabbed some jeans, a t-shirt, and a pullover hoodie. “I think we might have scared her when we admitted all that shit to her last night.” I said. “I do not think so. I believe she was just overwhelmed with everything.” Jayson replies. “Is it wrong that I want to go back over there and
I hurried to the restaurant to meet with Etta and Marnie. My mind was still trying to process everything that Jayson and Alexi told me. I knew that I wanted them, but I had to think about more than myself. Mom was finally happy again and that meant everything to me. I walked into the restaurant and spotted Marnie and Etta. I knew if anyone could help me figure this shit out, they could. I sat down as the server brought us menus. We told the server what we wanted to drink and then placed our order. “So, what are you freaking out about?” Etta asked. “Jayson and Alexi somehow found my place last night. They showed up shocking the shit out of me. They said they heard a couple people a few houses down talking about the girl that lived in the house with the pink hair.” Told them. “Well, no offense, but your hair does stand out. There are many others with colored hair on this campus, but your particular color or colors of pink in your hair are rather unique.” Marnie points out. “Tou
This week has been fucking awful. Taelin stuck to her words. We saw her around campus, but she treated us like friends or stepbrothers. This was driving Alexi and I insane. We wanted nothing more than to be able to walk up to her and show everyone that she belonged to us, but that wasn’t possible. I knew she had talked with Marnie and Etta, so I asked what they had told her. They explained to Alexi and me when we were over at their place what the three of them had talked about. Everything they told her made sense and was geared towards her trying to convince her that this thing between us was fine. Whatever convinced her to say what she did must have happened in her mind on the way back to her place. “Do you think she will show up?” Alexi asked. “I don’t know.” I replied. It was the truth. Taelin hadn’t come to any of our hockey games since last year. Even then she came to maybe two or three. She kept telling Janelle that she had stuff to do for her classes, which probably wasn’
This was the second time I have suddenly left dinner with my family. I couldn’t believe that Jayson and Alexi told mom and David how they felt about me before telling me. That should have been something I was told before anyone else. For some reason I wasn’t surprised that mom was okay with the fact that both of them wanted to be with me. I was surprised that David was okay with it. I had just walked into the house when I heard another car pull up. I knew it was Jayson and Alexi, but I sure as fuck didn’t want to see them right now. I grabbed a hoodie and stared for the back door but before I could get half way my arm was grabbed, and I was pulled back against someone. From the scent of his cologne, I knew it was Jayson. “Forget it my queen, you aren’t going anywhere.” Jayson told me. “Fuck you, where the two of you ever going to tell me how you felt about me or where you just going to keep telling everyone else.” I hissed. “Taelin it isn’t like that. We were trying to figure o
