Sapphire
I still feel weird walking into Dad’s house without knocking. He told me I didn’t need to knock, and I don’t, but it still seems funny not to. I find Mathius sitting shirtless on the couch, shoving slices of pizza in his mouth. I roll my eyes. I am sure that he has a bottomless stomach. I will admit that my brother is good-looking, but I am unsure how he keeps his six-pack. The asshole is always eating. I set my bag down and sneak up behind him. I take my cold water and let it trickle down the back of his neck. I start laughing. I am sure his head damn near hit the ceiling with how high he jumped, not to mention that girl shriek he released. I laugh at Mathius’s reaction when Dad and Yasmin enter the room. I stand up as Mathius turns and shoots me the death look. “What the hell is going on?” Dad asks. “I was sitting here eating pizza when this little shit decided to dribble cold fucking water down the back of my neck.” Mathius hisses. “Sorry, I figured you were hot

It hurt so fucking much. Even turning my head hurt way more than it should. Thankfully when I opened my eyes, the light wherever I was had been dimmed. I couldn’t have dealt with a bright light right now. I noticed it smelt weird, but I couldn’t fathom why. I felt something slip between my fingers. I start to move but stop when my whole body protests the movement. I try to sit up, which causes me to cry out. I let out a few of my favorite Aussie swear words which caused a deep chuckle. I know that laugh. “Hey, my precious jewel, stay still.” Dylan tells me. “Dylan?” I huff. “Yes, I am here, and so is Riley. Don’t make any quick movements. You are going to be sore for a while. Do you remember what happened?” Dylan asks. “Yes, we were driving, and then I heard a loud bang, screaming, and nothing. A car hit us.” I reply. I feel the bed sink beside me as I slowly and carefully turn to see him sitting down. I see Riley standing at the end of my bed. I smile at him, a

We had just returned to the hotel when our phones started ballistic. We all grabbed for them at the same time. We were about to get on the bus and return within half an hour. Thankfully it was only a three-hour bus ride, and then we would be home. I looked at my phone and saw Mathius’s number. It isn’t weird for him to call me, but something in my gut told me something was wrong. Luke had said something similar as we packed up in the locker room. I answered my phone as I walked out the door. I could hear a shit ton of background noise when he told me I needed to get home now. He sounded frantic, and I was about ot ask him what the fuck was wrong when he said there had been a car accident and Sapphire was in the hospital. I looked at Luke and Riley, and it seemed that whoever they were talking to had told them the same thing. We practically leaped onto the bus as it was pulling out. There was nothing we could do. Riley had told the coach what had happened and told the drive

It has been three days since the girls were released from the hospital. The doctor wasn’t lying when he told us they would develop more bruises. My poor precious jewel could barely move, which was fine with me. This meant that I had to carry her, well, I didn’t have to, but since I love holding her, this worked out well for me. Not that I want her to be injured as a reason to carry her around, but I am not complaining. She has complained that she hates being carried but melts into me when I carry her. She and Emery are sitting on the couch watching a show. I am heating some food that Mathius brought over. Yasmin cooked for them and sent Mathius as her delivery boy. I doubt she had any problem getting him to come over here, considering that Emery was here, and he knew that. I am sure he told his mother that he would play delivery boy. He thinks he is being covert and says he is here to check on Sapphire, but we all know the truth. I know he is here to see how Sapphire is, bu

Janessya offered to accompany me tonight, but I knew I needed to do this alone. I don't know if Coalan has anyone with him, but I would like it to be the two of us. We had spoken a bit when the girls were in the hospital, but we both agreed it was not the time and place for a discussion like the one we would have tonight. I was surprised to see he had chosen an upscale restaurant for us to meet at. I have eaten here before with Dylan and his family. It is one of my favorites, but it is only where you sometimes eat. I pull up into the valet area. One of them opens my door for me, which is weird, but I step out and hand them my keys. The hostess sees me and practically runs over. I tell her that I am here to meet someone and who that is, and she shows me to the private room that Coalan has booked. Thank god, I didn’t want to have this conversation out on the restaurant's main floor. I pull the chair out, sit down and scoot closer. Coalan watches me with a smile on his face.

I watch Mateo swear in Japanese as he paces around the room. Thankfully his mother is not here. She would have grabbed him by his ear and told him not to speak like that in her house. I am leaning against the wall as he continues his temper tantrum. He has every right to be pissed. I have no idea who those fuckers were that tried to follow Sapphire, but they caused an accident. Thankfully she and the others in the car weren’t seriously injured. Not only did the vehicle she was in crash the car that swerved to get out of their way had a mother with her two children in it. They weren’t seriously hurt either, which I am grateful for. “Calm down, son. She is fine and Grant is on his way there to figure out what the fuck happened.” I tell him. “She could have been killed. Who the fuck those bastards were?” He growls. “That is what Grant is going to find out. He had spoken with his contacts down there, and I know they had a couple of guys watching her, but they were explici

I am so significantly over this shit. This last week has been testing my patients like no other. I hate that someone has to help me, but I am thankful for Indigo. He has been accompanying me to classes and carrying anything I need to be carried. So far, everyone has been great, and all my teachers were glad to hear that I was ok. Dylan has been great and ensures that my ribs are wrapped to help, but I still have to be careful when moving. Gareth asked me about Indigo and why he was following me. I told him what had happened, and he immediately asked if I was okay. I said yes but explained that I had a cracked rib and several bruised ribs. Indigo couldn’t sit in this class with me, so he had no idea I was talking with Gareth. Elias is also here, but he hardly ever says anything to me. There is still something hauntingly familiar about him, but I still can’t figure out why. I swear someone I know has the same colored eyes, but I can’t recall who that is. “So that guy is help

Indigo had left right after Brekkie. He was meeting with someone about his tattoo shop. I told him not to worry since Dylan had texted me and said they would be home in an hour. Mel and I sat on the couch to watch tv and wait for the guys. I was hurting, so I had no choice but to take one of my pain meds. I laid down and fell asleep at some point. I woke up to voices I knew, even if they sounded far away. That is the one thing I hate about those pain meds. They make me feel hungover. “When did we get a cat?” Arlo asks. “When I found him hungry, dirty, and in a bush on campus. This is Mel.” I said. I yawned into the back of my hand as I went to sit up. I looked down, and Mel was not happy that we were moving. I admit that I was comfortable, and so was he. I picked him up and sat him on the couch as he stared at the guys. Dylan walked around and helped me sit back up. It was getting more manageable, but it still hurt. Riley sat down, and Mel hopped into his lap, placi

I expected to be doing something different today. Classes had ended for the day when Dad called, letting me know he needed me and the other guys to get our asses to the house. I have no idea what is happening, but I sent a mass text to the guys telling them to head to the house. We would have had the girls come with us, but they had follow-up doctor's appointments. I had said goodbye to Sapphire, who still had Indigo tagging along as her helper. I will not lie; I was thrilled when he offered. I didn’t want her carrying anything; he also was a bodyguard. I know she doesn’t need a bodyguard, but with her being injured, she does, not that I will tell her that. I love the fact that she is so fucking independent, but sometimes it is annoying. Luke was still in a shitty mood. He hates the idea of Kyllyan having a little girl. “Don’t worry, mate, that little sheila will have all of us to make sure no one, especially boys, come near her.” Keegan points out. “He is right.

It has been two days since those fuckers tried to kidnap my precious jewel. Kyllyan and Emery. We still aren’t sure they know about the baby or why they want Emery. I don’t think they know about the baby, which makes me wonder why they wanted Emery. I did make Sapphire go to the doctor after she came running into Mom and Dad’s place. She told me what Indigo had told her about his cousin and what happened. The doctor took some radiographs and said everything was looking good. I told him the story, and he guessed that Indigo’s cousin’s rib was likely broken in place, and when he moved, it dislodged the rib, which caused it to puncture his lung. He told us that things like that can happen but are rare. Thankfully she is feeling better and not as sore. The doctor added some muscle relaxers, which made all the difference. “Ow you little bastard. Someone is overly aggro today.” Luke mumbles. “He got you to?” Arlo asks. “Yes.” Luke replies. Mel has fully acclimated to the h
