It Comes In Three's

Chapter 39

Alex‘ PÓV

“Where even are they?” Del questions, as I sit with Jace and him in the kitchen to make a plan.

“Out buying outfits for Spring Fest tomorrow.” Jace states, as I pull out the letters and pass them around for the boys to read it for

themselves.

I watch as their faces contort in disgust at the way it’s written, which only brings back the fury I had felt last night after reading it for myself…

Bunch of sick little fucks!

I seriously had to contain my rage when Lottie was in the shower last night….

I would have probably smashed up her entire room too if it weren’t for face coming up to check in on me. He seen how enraged I was and removed me from the situation before hell unleashed on Anna’s innocent home.

But at least now I had their names…

“Jason, Tommy and Holden?” Jace confirms, as I nod once, before fixing the collar of my black polo shirt.

“Well that’s easy enough for us now isn’t it? We know what school Lottie went to and they no doubt still go there so it won’t be hard finding them right?” Del questions as I nod again and smirk.

I had a plan for them… in fact, I had a few… however I know from what they where capable of doing to Lottie, that they would need to be dealt with appropriately.

“We are dealing with sneaky little rats remember… so we will have to tread carefully with this plan… I want them tortured without a single trace of it coming back to us. The last thing I need is to get locked up when I promised to fucking help her.” I state, as they both nod their approval of my statement.

“Easy done.” Jace shrugs, as I laugh next at his confidence.

Those three little bitches don’t even know what’s coming to them…

“So rumour has it that you made Lottie your girlfriend last night too Alex?” Del smirks as I throw him a glare.

“What of it?” I react, not liking the smug fucking look plastered across his face.

“So you’ll admit now that I was always right about her then? She’s harmless? I was also right that you have feelings for her… she’s not just a fuck and a dump anymore now is she buddy?” Jace cackles loudly, causing Del to snort out a laugh too from beside him as I clench my fists on the table.

That dumb ass was clearly referring back to the night where I was drunk and declared to him that I could fuck Lottie and dump her like any other regular bitch to prove that I had no feelings… but deep down I always knew it would be impossible – I couldn’t with her.

“Fuck off!” I rage back, as they both laugh more at my expense.

“Admit it and I’ll say no more!” Jace mocks, as I roll my eyes at his immaturity as he drums his fingers on the counter – signifying that he was waiting….

“You were right… although, there will still be fucking… but the dumping part is out of the question!” I admit smugly, as they both shake their heads and laugh further.

I’m glad that they and my first serious relationship humorous! Pair of losers!

*Just need to find Anna a man and she might quit annoying me now!” lace suddenly complains, as I check my phone again briefly to see whether or not Lottie had answered my text yet which she still hasn’t.

Why does it always take her so damn long?!

“Are you serious? Any dude that even talks to Anna you get all up in their business and threaten to end them if they upset her!” Del snorts, as I shake my head at the sheer truth of the statement. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“You know what happened to her before! I’ll be fucking damned if I let a guy take advantage of her again! She’s a pain in my ass but she’s family! Jace huffs, before grabbing a can of coke and cracking it open.

A moment passes, as my phone lights up with a picture message, gaining my attention-

“Well it will just need to be somebody you trust! Hell maybe 111 just give it a go with Anna? I do get lonely sometimes…” Del trails off, as I quickly glance at him before looking to Jace for his reaction…

Jace looks ready to choke him out which only makes it funnier as I watch Del attempt to contain his laugh – trying his best to look serious when sharing the thought.

“I hope you’re fucking kidding dude?!” Jace wipes his mouth with his sleeve, before Del throws his head back and releases a heart felt laugh.

Nah of course I’m kidding! She’s practically like a sister to us!” Del continues to laugh, as I laugh too – picking up my phone from the counter to check the text Lottie had finally sent…

“Seriously though, you need to loosen the reigns if you want her to find somebody decent Jace! All the guys are too scared to be around us that they won’t even look at her. Poor Anna will be single forever at this rate!” Del continues to lecture Jace as he groans and rolls his eyes at him – unbothered.

I swipe open the message, clicking on the picture that she sent, before my grip tightens on the phone – sheer jealousy filling my insides from head to toe.

The text read-

“Sorry for the slow reply! I’m at lunch now with Anna and Erik from the party! Hope you’re ok? X”

The picture was of the three of them, smiling and cuddled up for the selfie…

Who the fuck even was this Erik? I briefly remember her standing with him, but why the hell has she now gone out for lunch with the guy without asking me first?!

“Where are you?” I text back, already feeling myself becoming that overprotective boyfriend… she’s going to be the death of me!

I zone out of Jace and Dels petty rants, staring down at the message before going back to look at the picture again…

What the hell is this guys intentions? What dude wants to hang around with two girls on his own? He obviously likes one of them… and for his sake it better be Anna!

“Food court at the mall. Erik says hitx” I glare at the text, before standing from the stool and grabbing my car keys.

“We are going to the mall.” I announce, as the other two stare at me oddly before shuffling to stand up.

“What’s gotten into you?” Jace questions, as they follow me to the door to head out to the car.

Erik says hi? Is he seriously rubbing it in my face now that he’s sitting dut for lunch with MY girlfriend?!

I’ll end him…

“Just hurry up!” I snap back, as they both groan and follow me into my car.

Although I’m pissed, I also don’t want to scare her off… and with that, I force myself to take a hard deep breath…
