I Called Off The Alliance At Dawn Novel

Chapter 9 Ethan and I whipped around. Jessica stood outside the coffee shop door, a bloody knife in her hand, staring right at me. James was slumped in a chair nearby, clutching his stomach. She walked toward us with a sick smile. I stumbled back. Ethan pushed me behind him. "Stay back. Be careful." "You too, she's got a knife." "Jessica, are you insane? Put it down!" James staggered in after her, pushing away the people trying to help him. He grabbed her wrist. "You touch her and you're dead, Jessica. You want someone to pay for your kid? Take me. This has nothing to do with Emily.

If you want revenge, you take it out on me." He tried to grab the knife. She cut him deeper. He laughed through the pain. "Jessica, I never thought you'd be more fucked up than me." "Fucked up?" She laughed at the words. "I'm fucked up? I was in college. I had a future. Then you showed up at my graduation." "Why'd you even look at me like that? I fell for you, and then you dropped the 'I love someone else' bomb." "I was valedictorian. Guys were lining up for me. And you just... brushed me off like I was nothing." "So I went after you. Found out everything about the woman you loved.

I turned myself into her. And finally, I got you." She laughed to herself, lost in the memory. "And then, one minute you're in bed with me, the next you're having some fairytale wedding with her, telling the whole world she's the love of your life." "How was I supposed to handle that, James? How?" 100.00% "At least I made you marry me. But you still couldn't let her go. When she left, that was perfect for everyone. Why couldn't you just be happy with what you had?" She stood there like a woman on the edge of a cliff, screaming at him. Then, h er parents appeared.

They'd rushed down after hearing about her breakdown. Her mother pushed her father aside and wrapped her arms around Jessica, sobbing. A crowd gathered. Jessica shoved her away. "What good are you now? I'm destroyed! My whole life is ruined!" She waved the knife, muttering to herself. Ethan grabbed my arm. "Let's go. Don't get involved with a crazy person." I nodded. One step. She lunged. "Watch out!" Two voices. Then I was on the ground. It felt like forever before I opened my eyes. Ethan was next to me, shielding me. "Are you okay?" I scrambled to check him over, heart pounding. He smiled.

"Fine. Just tripped." I exhaled. Then I saw the blood. People screamed, Chaos. So much blood. James was in a pool of it, smiling at me as his head fell forward. I stared, frozen. My blood ran cold again. The ambulance came and went. It was a long time before I snapped out of it. Jessica went to prison for assault. James never woke up. Chapter 9 100.00% Ethan and I moved abroad. Months of therapy. The day I was discharged, he showed up with flowers and a ring. When he slipped it on my finger, I laughed and cried at the same time. "Luna's Mom' on a ring.

So cheesy." He stood up and pinched my cheek. "Cheesy? I think it's perfect. Hey, wait up, Luna's Mom! Your Luna's Dad is coming!" [THE END] Chapter 1 Mr. Nathan admin
