Chapter Thirty One: I Can't Tell Him.

Grace's P.O.V

I look at the four boys who are sitting on the couch, staring at Luke and I as we take a seat on the couch opposite to them. I can't help but look over at Randy to see him looking anywhere but me.

I can't believe he is freaking here!

I shake my head slowly and look at the other three boys. The one next to Randy has black hair that covers one of his eyes and on his cheek is a deep scar that runs from the bottom of his eyes to his jaw. Luke introduced me to him before we sat down and I think his name is Jackson.

The guy next to Jackson is Daniel; the one who keeps messaging Luke about the payment. He has brown hair and bright blue eyes and from what I can see, he has a necklace with a turtle on it. Actually, I think I've seen him at school before during the assembly. The teacher had sat him next to me and from what I can remember, he got caught trying to give me drugs and that was the last day I ever saw him.

The last guy who is sitting on the edge of the couch is James from what Luke had told me. He has bright blonde hair and hazel eyes which seem to be staring deeply into mine.

Wierd.

"So... the money." Luke begins and all eyes go to him, burning into his blue eyes. Daniel nods slowly and leans into the couch, a small grin on his face.

"Yes, Luke, you will get the money but... I want something from Grace first." Before I can even react, Luke jumps up in anger and shock.

"What the hell? You said that if I brought her here with me, I would get the money!" Luke shouts in rage and I grab on Luke's hand and pull him back down on the couch.

"Yes I did but if you really want the money, you will give me what I want." Daniel says and I feel my heart race when Daniel's eyes connect with mine.

"Can I have a conversation with you?" Daniel asks and my eyes go wide. Luke's grip on my hand tightens but I try not to show any pain as I look between the four boys.

"I-I..." I look over to Luke to see his jaw clenching in anger. I rub my thumb over his hand to try and calm him down but this just makes Luke send me a small frown.

"We can just go-" I cut Luke off with a short glare.

"Luke, you need the money for your father so just calm down. I'll just see what Daniel has to say then he will give you the money and we will go." I say and Luke looks at Daniel before looking back at me.

"Are you sure?" Luke asks slowly and I nod, a small smile appearing on my lips. Luke squeezes my hand and sighs before turning back to the four boys.

"Five minutes." Luke says and Daniel nods, standing up from the couch. He tilts his head towards the kitchen and I stand up, walking over to where Daniel is.

When I enter the kitchen, Daniel closes the door behind him and leans against the counters, his elbows resting behind him. I stand in front of him, leaning against the row of counters behind me, crossing my arms across my chest.

"What do you want?" I ask and Daniel points back into the room.

"You and Randy to sort your shit out. You see, my brother hasn't been himself ever since everything went down with you and him which is why I told Luke to go for you. Yes, Luke will get the money for his father but the reason I wanted you to come here is to have a talk with my brother and get him back to his old self. Do you think you can do that?" Daniel asks and I gulp, the images of him touching me appearing in my mind. My hands begin to shake and I look around the room before looking back at Daniel.
