I walk out shirtless and wig-less to see the six idiots my parents gave birth to prior to me ruining me and my precious baby’s home, and I can’t have that. I pull out the gun strapped to my thigh and point it at them. It’s my oldest brother, Pierce, who spots me first, eyes going wide.

“Whoa, what are you doing here? Don’t you normally go to your other house?” he frowns, cocking a brow.

“The fuck you mean what am I doing here? It’s my place,” I curl my lip.

“Still, you’re never here,” Gannon, the fifth mother fucker born, stuffs his face, munching on a bag of hot fries, taking Pierce’s side.

“I don’t give a fuck. Get the hell out. I plan to bring my baby here this weekend.”

“Oh? Is that the infamous woman that’s got our baby brother all twisted and acting so strange?” Echo, my second oldest brother, smiles mischievously.

“Yup. Gannon and I met her. She’s pretty,” Genesis, the fourth of my brothers says as he texts on his phone.

“Stop talking about my woman. Anyway, get the fuck out,” I growl, and the sixth of the super idiots, Wilder snatches off his gaming headphones, looking pissed as usual.

“Fucking son of a bitch! They beat me again! I don’t know who this asshole is, but I’ll fucking make their life a living hell! Saint, find them for me!” he snarls but pauses when he sees me flinching. “Wh-what are you doing here?”

“Why do you assholes keep asking me that?! Get the fuck out! This is now my love nest!”

“But all my gaming gear is here!” Wilder frowns like I’m supposed to give a fuck.I don’t

“Move it or I’ll trash it,” I curl my lip.

“You devil! You evil, evil being,” Gannon snatches up some salt, throwing it at me.

“Quit it, you fucking son of a b—” I pause when I see that Jessica is almost to her destination by bus and curse.Shit I don’t have time to fuck around with these bastards!“Take it out and replace it with gym equipment. My baby needs a home gym when she moves in this weekend,” I frown, wondering how long it’ll take to get to her.I should have just left this morning with her… maybe I should have stowed away on her bus…

“Can you at least put the gun down? We’re your brothers,” Saint yawns, taking off his headphones, and I see he’s watching those stupid ASMR videos again.

“No,” I cock the gun and he chuckles. “You’re adorable, Le?—”

“Stop it, Saint. You’ll just piss him off even more,” Pierce groans, pushing back his hair and taking off his glasses that he doesn’t even fucking need.

“Yeah, shut up. You want to get shot again? I’m fucking sick of fishing bullets out of my ass!” Wilder grumbles. “Plus, mom always takes his side when we tell.”

“Fine. We’ll leave and fix up the room for our precious little sister. In return, you have to let the rest of us meet her soon.” Echo drums his fingers together, and I throw him a warning, daring him to try some shit, but he holds up his hands. “I promise to behave.”Yeah the fuck right…

“I’ll make sure it’s done by the time you get back,” Pierce sighs. “And you’ll all help. It’s for our sister-in-law,” he warns them and they groan but nod.

“Good, also it needs to be top of the line and state of the art. Nothing is too good for her.”

“Oh, this is going to be fun,” Genesis smiles, and Gannon nods.

“I’ll make sure it’s something our little sister will be proud of,” Pierce stands, cracking his knuckles as if ready to go to work while Saint groans. I leave that shit to those idiots since my jet is being fueled now.I need to see my baby.From the moment I met her, there hasn’t been a day I’ve slept away from her, and I don’t plan on starting that just because she’s out of state…I miss her.

I want to hug her, and I want to see what the fuck is keeping her from answering my calls.

The flight is only about an hour and twenty minutes. By then, I was able to buy tickets to her game and Saint had sent me her hotel and room number. I go from the jet to her hotel, and the drive takes no time at all. I make sure to dress inconspicuously and make my way casually up to her room, then I make my way to the room closest to her. I open the veranda and easily hop up onto her small balcony, then pop the lock.Thank God she got the only room with a balcony… it would have been difficult getting into her room from the front since her coach is monitoring the cams on their floor.

It’s one o’clock in the morning, and I don’t need to guess if she’s asleep. Jessica is the type to be out like a light once her head hits the pillow. That’s how she’s been unable to detect me coming into her apartment every day to sleep next to her.

I creep over to her, smiling at her wild sleeping form, cover half-thrown off the bed, and lightly snoring. I take up the cover and go to place it over her, but I pause when I notice her cheek is swollen.What the fuck?!

My heart quickens, and my mind goes blank. My throat feels raw, and my vision fades.What. In. The. Fuck. Happened?!I go over, crouching beside her, gently running my hand over her flesh, willing it to go down.Who hurt you?

My eyes roam over her person, checking for any other inconsistencies, and anger flares over my being when I notice a gash on her knee. I have to pat my heart to keep it under control as I place a kiss on the gash and go to look in my bag to apply something when I spot a bag of medicine on the floor with a card lying inside.

I’m sorry. I hope your knee is okay…
