The Life I Never Knew I Had

Thank you JeNiKA_ScReAmO_ for the book cover :)

The next morning Lance woke me up and I got ready for another day of training.
We did a quick fighting lesion with and without swords then went for a two mile run. Afterwards we swam back to the house in the Great Ocean.
Once back there we dried off and Lane and Ryan refreshed my memory of the weapons and war codes.
I had to remember all of these, but I don’t know why. I asked and they completely ignored the question.
Sebastian told me it was time to get ready for school and I hurried to my room to get ready.
“Princess?” Elliott called as he walked into my room.
“Hi,” I said pulling my hair in a ponytail.
“How was trading today?” he asked hugging my waist.
“It was good,”
“Ryan said you asked why you did you need to know the war codes and weapons.” Elliott whispered in my ear.
I looked at him in the mirror. “Are you going to tell me?” I whispered back.
“Remember the horrible thing that my dad is planning?”
“Yeah,”
“You’re apart of it,”
“What?” I said facing him, horror written all over my face.
“That is all I can tell you,”
“Elliott, will I be fighting in a war?”
He walked away from me and left my room.
I sighed and picked up my eye liner and got myself ready.
Million of questions were circling my head. But who was going to answer them?
I smiled came across my face.
I knew one person.

Ryan’s Point of View

Lance and I waited for Jenny to come down stairs.
“She’s getting better, no?” Lance said to me.
“Yeah, she is,” I smiled.
“You so like her,”
“What are you talkinmg about?”
“Don’t give me that,”
“Give you what?”
“Princess Shelby looks just like her and I see they way you look at her. And by the way she looks at you I’ll say there’s a little thing going on,”
“You’re deranged,” I simply said.
“Don’t worry, your dirty little secret is safe with me and Eugene,”
“You told Eugene! About you little theory,”
Lance chuckled as Jenny walked in. “Hey guys,” she said smiling at us.
“Morning Princess,” we said.
Lance led her outside.
Jenny walked over to me. “We need to talk about something,” she whispered before walking over to Lance.
He helped her into the helicopter and got inside.
I followed him and sat with Jenny.
“About?” I whispered to her.
“Something,” she said pulling out a medical book.
We ended the conversation and we went about our business.
Lance landed the helicopter and I helped her out as Lance got the motorcycle for us.
He came speeding up to us then slowed to a stop.
He got off and I got on. Lance helped Jenny on and she wrapped her arms around me.
I waved to Lance and took off.
Moments later I was at the hospital and Jenny was getting off the bike.
“Pick up regular time?” I asked.
“I’m not sure, the guys might want to do something,” she said resting her hand on mine.
“Okay, call me or something,”
“Yeah,” she said smiling.
I swallowed hard and nodded.
She squeezed my hand and smiled at me. I looked into her eyes that seem to scream ‘I miss you’.
I gave her the same look as she slowly walked away.
I sighed and put on her helmet and speed off.
I meet up with Lance and we headed back home.
Once we reached Algonquin I took a shower and got ready to meet Shelby’s family.

Jennifer’s Point of View

I hung around Doctor Drew again today.
Today was a slow day.
We talked a lot and I got to ask questions.
He said that I was making excellent progress.
I think I’m growing on him. He laughed at me jokes today.
Well, it was a chuckle, but I’ll take it.
At the end of the day I called Ryan to pick me up.
The guys were all busy with school work.
Once I was home I hung out with Elliott and planed the wedding.
I was not looking forward to it.
I don’t want to marry Elliott I want to marry Ryan.
Once our planning was over we headed down to dinner hand and hand.
We didn’t talk much.
Just ate.
As usual.
After dinner I escaped to my room and Elliott went to get a book from the library and Shelby went to bed early.
I tip toed to Ryan’s room and sat on his bed. He was in the shower or something.
I heard the pipe turn off and the door opened suddenly.
Ryan walked out of the shower with his towel around his waist and another around his neck, to dry his hair.
He looked at me shocked. “Jenny?”
“Hey handsome,” I said walking over to him. “I have a question,” I whispered in his ear as I ran my hand down his abs.
“What question?”
I rested my hands on shoulders and played with his wet hair. “Why do I need to know about war codes and weapons? Am I fighting in a war? What’s going on?”
Ryan bit his lip and back away from me. “I can’t answer that,” he said.
“Why?” I asked as he pulled on a pair of boxers.
“Because…I want to, I do, but you can’t know,”
“I’m going to find out,”
“Not any time soon,” Ryan ran a hand through his hair.
I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his lips. “Please…” I whispered against them.
Ryan kissed me again and held me close to him.
For a moment the world seemed to stop and nothing mattered.
He pulled away and looked at me. “Yes, you will be fighting in a war. If you live then…my fathers plan will fall in place, if you die, I don’t know what will happen,”
I backed away from him and ran a hand threw my hair and sat on his bed.
Ryan sat next to me and rested his hand on my thigh. “I’m sorry,”.
“Don’t be. You told me what I want to know,”
He kissed me softly. “I won’t let you get hurt. Plan or no plan,”
I smiled and kissed him again.
“I love you,” he whispered against my lips.
I smiled. “I love you,” I whispered back.
Ryan grinned and kissed me again.
There was a knock on the door and we broke apart.
“Hey, Ryan, have you seen- oh princess. What are you doing here?”
“Talk to your brother. He was telling me about a new training routine,”
Elliott looked at Ryan’s hand on my leg and Ryan took it off.
“Okay…” he said eyeing Ryan. “We should get ready for bed,”
“Yeah, I’ll be there in a moment,”
“Okay,” he said closing the door but not leaving the doorway.
“That was close,” I whispered.
“I know…”
“I love you,” I said kissing him.
“I love you,” he said once we pulled away.
“Oh, how was lunch with Shelby’s parents?”
“Okay, I like them and they seemed to love me,”
“Good,” I said blowing him a kiss.
I caught it and placed it on his check.
I smiled and left.
Elliott was waiting for me by the door.
I kissed him and took his hand.
“Bed time,” I smiled.
Elliott grinned back and we headed to my room.
