Chapter 100

Liliana's pov :
Alex's dad sent his men away and again shouted, "why don't you just demand the money and leave my son?"
Even though I didn't like that man, I could see his love for his son in his eyes. Emery wasn't a mother, she was a bitch who could do anything for the money.
"Send these kids away, too, John!" Emery yelled in a mad voice.
He gazed at us with pleading eyes and without a second warning, we started ambling towards the opposite side. As we stepped forward, we saw those men hiding behind the bushes so we copied their idea.
"Kids, go away! This is not a thriller movie, you are putting everyone's life in danger," one of the guards murmured and warned us.
George couldn't resist, "we aren't just kids and that boy is our friend so we aren't going anywhere."
"Are you leaving or ready to take the bullet in your head?" The guard who caught us threatened him and pointed his gun at George's head.
The guy who seemed like the boss of those people ordered them to put their guns down as their guns were pointed at all of us.
"Why aren't you coming out now? No one is here except me," John asked and we were close enough to hear his voice.
The one thing I knew about the boys was that they were as aggressive as fuck and I was worried about them. What if she annoyed them and they just stood up, she would be mad and kill Alex within a blink!
"Do you think that I trust you, sweetheart? You can just put the money and leave this place. I promise I'll send Alex home safely," she screamed in a honeyed voice.
The people of John were moving around to find Emery, I wished the police could arrive here soon and everyone would be safe and fine. As I prayed, my eyes fell to a bush where the leaves were waffling more than the others.
I pointed that place to my friends and those men. As they noticed the same, they rushed to that spot and before they could reach her, she yelled, "one step forward, and the knife will be across his neck."
When we ran in that direction, we saw Alex sitting in a chair, his arms were tied with ropes so he couldn't escape but I wondered how his mom managed to do that alone with a big guy?! After all, Alex wasn't a five years old kid who could be frightened of her and wouldn't fight with her.
"What have you done with Alex?" Mr Jonas shouted furiously when he came near the bushes to see him.
Emery did nothing but laughed like a maniac and put the knife near Alex's throat. As if it was an amusing scene, and she was enjoying it a lot!
"Sir, he is looking senseless so she must have given a drug to him to make him swoon," one of his men who was still holding a gun that was pointed towards Emery responded.
"You seem smart!" She retorted and laid her other hand on Alex's shoulder. "But you are fool enough to still stand here. John, do you want to see what I can do to our dear son if you don't obey me?"
"You already have crossed your line, Emery! He is not your son, and you are a bitch who shouldn't have the right to be a mother." He shook his head and put his hands on his hips. "Attack her and protect my son!" John ordered his people and soon she was surrounded by his men.
We were just standing there, confused and worried because we didn't know what to do! That woman was completely unbelievable, how could she do that to her son?
"Guys, let's move to that woman's behind! She hasn't noticed us yet, her focus is on the guards so we can save Alex," George muttered and all of us nodded before strolling.
"I'm not just threatening, I'm serious. If you take one step further, I won't think twice before parting his neck away from his body." She barked and put pressure on the knife so Alex's neck started bleeding a little and John looked a little tense.
We were taking very slow steps toward her so her attention was fully on the guards, when we were finally behind her, Jay caught my wrist and shoved me behind him.
"Don't you even think about coming forward for my sake!" He whispered in my ear, I could see his love for me in his apprehensive eyes.
I didn't want to argue at that moment about my being strong after glimpsing his caring eyes, all I wanted to do was to assure him so I nodded smilingly and gave a small pack on his lips to assure him.
The men who were stepping forward saw us standing behind her and frowned. They weren't too happy to see us, it was a dangerous move and no one knew what she would do if she found us standing behind her.
When those men stared at us, she realized that someone was standing there so she turned to see us and the guards reached Alex and took Alex with him with a swift move.
She was flabbergasted to see that Alex wasn't beside her anymore, she took a gun out from her pocket. "You little punks, I'm not going to leave you alive. Just because of you, I lost my millions and now I'll send you to hell." She cried out in frustration.
As soon as she pointed the gun towards Theo, George came in front of him. "I wished Alex wouldn't have any mother at all rather than having a bitch mom like you."
"My bad, I gave birth to this bastard." She suppressed her lips as if she was guilty of not doing an abortion. "Oh! So you're that aggressive and fighter guy, George right?" She smirked and rolled her eyes. "You're Theo and Jay, huh? Who wants to be dead first? Or do you want to die together? I have an idea, why don't you line up?"
I looked at John who was indicating one of his men to catch Emery, she didn't see me yet as Jay was standing in front of me like a rock.
The guard standing behind Emery was about to trigger the gun, but at the same time, she already triggered the gun and the bullet was coming towards George's head.
At that moment, I was so frightened that I shouted and closed my eyes. The next thing I realised was Jay's hand pushing me to the ground together with him.
When I opened my eyes, I found police holding Emery's arms and George and Theo laying on the ground holding hands. Tears started strolling down my cheeks and my mouth was covered with my hands as I saw George laying down with closed eyes, not making any movement.
"He is alright, baby." Jay took me in a warm hug and I hid my face in his chest, sobbing hard. "All of us bent to the ground so no one got shot and that asshole is safe, just putting on an act to catch everyone's attention."
I pulled myself back from the hug and saw George standing. He was stifling a chuckle, and I slapped his arms and punched his chest.
"Ouch! Do you wanna kill me, Lia? I didn't know that you love me more than your boyfriend." He winked and hugged me.
"Hey, fucker! Just because my girl is kind, don't tease her!" Jay shouted at him and Theo shook his head in disbelief.
"Let's check Alex, guys!" Theo suggested and we found John crying and holding Alex's hand. Emery looked pissed off as the police arrested her and this time, she would be in prison for sure.
John sauntered to her with an outraged face. "I wish I wouldn't have met you, loving you was my mistake, you're a heartless woman who made me like you." He barked and Emery didn't say anything but smirked. "Take her out of my sight!"
"I guess we should leave Alex with his dad, now that everyone knows the truth, he needs to talk with his dad. We will see him later," Theo suggested as the mature man he was.
"You're right! He should talk to his father first."
"Then, we'll see him in the morning."
We decided and left them alone. George and Theo drove their cars, Jay and I waved them bye. He was still holding my shoulder and I loved the warmth of his body.
"Shall we go?" He asked and smiled, I nodded and he started his bike.
It was evening and soon it'll be night. We were near the woods so there were no road lights and we were on the bike. I was afraid of darkness but nobody knew about that yet.
My anxiety would start as soon as it would be dark, and that thought made me hold his shirt tightly. I laid my head on his back, his hand reached my head and he caressed my hair.
"Everyone is alright, love! Don't be afraid!"
"Mmm-hmm!"
"You can talk to me about anything so you won't have anxiety."
I was stunned by his words, how did he know about my anxiety?
Jay put my hands on his chest after kissing it so my hands encircled his chest. "I noticed it a long time ago on Barbie's birthday." He explained as if he read my thoughts.
"Um, that's my childhood wound. That's why I hate Justin."
"May I know about it? Only if you're comfortable with telling me."
"Hmm! I was six years old and my mom took me to Justin's birthday party. I accidentally spilt water on him so he lied to my mom that I punched him. My mom felt so embarrassed in front of her rich friends, she decided to lock me in a dark room. Justin came and threw paper balls on me before locking the door again. I was trembling and feeling so scared that I started sobbing," as I started telling him, he took my hand in his hand and stroked my hand.
I smiled as I remembered the boy who saved me and after knowing about that boy, I was sure that Jay would feel envious of him so I decided to tease him a little.
"Then a cute boy opened the door and he gave me water and chocolate. That boy was my angel and I always wanted to marry him, he took me out of that hell and encouraged me-"
"To punch that asshole! He said that if he lied, then you should make it true," he cut me off.
"How did you know that? Wait, was that you?"
"We were destined to meet each other, love! Of course, it would be me. I wished I would have punched him myself then. And you should be so happy because your dream will come true, you'll marry your angel."
Geez! I never thought about that boy like that, I didn't romanticize that incident. "I was just trying to make you jealous, I didn't want to marry that boy."
"But you want to marry this boy, don't you?" He immediately responded and increased the speed of his bike. "I love you, love!"
My cheeks turned red at his sweet words, and I loved it whenever he called me love. "I love you, too!" I kissed his cheek and rested my head on his shoulder. It was getting dark but I didn't feel scared anymore as my saviour was with me.
