Alpha Jessie's surprise mate

Chapter 6

I turn my phone on and it starts buzzing back to back with texts and voicemails and missed call alerts

**amanda- Please just let me come check on you first and then I'll go**

**amanda- helloo?**

**amanda- Lacey please say something, I'm worried**

**amanda- text me when you turn your phone back on, I love you, we will get through this together. Ill be with you every step**

**unknown- are you okay?**

**unknown- I've tried to call you twice, your phone is going straight to voicemail and I'm worried**

**unknown- I can't handle it, you won't answer, I'm worried, I'm coming over**

**Boss- I guess you and amanda aren't coming for your shift tonight? call me so we can discuss your future working here.

who is the unknown number? I should be concerned about my boss pretty much telling me I don't have a job anymore but literally amanda and my boss are the only people who even have my phone number. The unknown number also sent the last text at 8:02pm which means whoever it is will be here soon. Now my nerves are on edge because I don't know who to expect.

I need to text amanda and ask.

**did you give my phone number to someone?**

**amanda- no, uhm, maybe, s**t, yes, he would not leave me alone and didn't really give me an option.

**who is it?**

*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*

Omg, who is here, I can't even peak without it being suspicious and them seeing me because these blinds are ridiculous, I'm so not up for seeing anybody right now, I huff. "who is it?" I yell. "It's me" says a husky tone. It sounds really familiar and inviting but I can't place the voice.

"me, who?" I respond.

"babe..... it's jessie"

I am horrified, I can not allow him in here right now, I can't even see him right now. Why would he even be here?

"this is really bad timing jessie" I yell back.

"I know little mate, I know you're upset, please let me in, I can help you" the sensitivity is stirring back up and I feel like crying again as I listen to him speak. But i dont respond and he begins again. "Ill sleep on the porch if I need to lacey, im worried about you and I want to check on you for myself." he says. "Did amanda send you here?" i ask. "No, i did persuade her to give me your number, but i found your address and came here on my own" jessie says and i sit in silence for a moment but for some reason my legs took me to the door and I and crack it open.

"can we stay out here instead?" I ask, not wanting him to see the full affect of the disaster that happened in my house.

"sure we can. are you okay?" Jessie asked and then continued "That was actually a really dumb thing for me to ask, of course you're not, come here babe" he says as he grabs my shoulders and pulls me in for a hug I'm pretty much crying on his stomach at this point because he is so much taller and it feels comfortable but awkward at the same time. I don't want to be comfortable right now and I don't want to allow myself to hug him but at this point I just need it and I don't think I've felt this safe, ever.

"I'm so sorry this happened, I can't imagine how much pain you're going through, I don't think you should stay here by yourself, this isn't the nicest side of town and with the trauma you're going through being by yourself isn't really a good thing, why don't you come stay with me for a couple of days? he asked and I literally almost choked on my own saliva.

i pulled away looking at him and laughed "I'm sorry what? what did you just ask me? Since when have you cared about me jessie? I don't understand why I even opened the door for you, or let you hug me, you make me miserable at school and make me the ass end of that bimbo Regina's jokes, now my mother dies and you're here being the sympathetic friend and offering me a shoulder to lean on and a place to stay? I'm not f*****g buying it, I'm an i***t for even speaking to you. I dont want to let you in to my life because you are capable of hurting me and i cant allow that, ive had enough of that. So go ahead and admit this is a part of some f****d up game youre playing and then you can go back to not giving a s**t about me and i can continue to live a drama free life. without the extra torment from regina and all the other bitches at school who keep your bed warm." I spat. I gasp and cover my mouth, I honestly can't believe I just said all of that. That actually came out of my mouth.

"I deserved every bit of that. Youre right lacey, i havent stood up for you enough, i hould have shut it down in the very beginning, but 100% between me and you, im 22 years old im not even supposed to be in high school, i graduated 4 years ago. I am there enrolled as an undercover student for investigation purposes and I was trying to do my job. Once i noticed how severe regina was treating you i started tryijg to stop it without raising any suspicion. Im not trying to make excuses either, how ive acted wasnt right at all. But please give me a chance to fully explain. I have so much stuff I can explain to you, about me and you individually, about us, and about your family and mine, because its one big puzzle and the pieces actually do fit together" he says.

I sit there staring at him for a moment. I can't lie when I say that now he has sparked my interest when he started speaking of my family, because I've been searching for answers and nobody has been able to help me.

"what if I go with you and I'm already aware of everything you have to tell me and I wanna come home?" I ask jessie

"Haha I highly doubt you know any of what I'm going to tell you little mate, but if you want to leave I will take you wherever you want to go, I wont keep you hostage, im not a psychopath. just go pack a bag for a couple of days". he tells me.

"And that's exactly what a true psychopath would say" I say while pondering my next move and looking at him curiously for a couple of minutes before I decide I'm going. "There are rules, Youre not allowed to be weird or make me uncomfortable" I say. He cracks a smile at me "I will do my best to not be weird or touch you" he says. And I turn to go inside, i run up to my room to grab a duffle bag with a few outfits. "need some help?" he yelled. "I'm only packing a couple outfits, not moving in. I think I can manage" I say, I hear him let out a small chuckle as he closes the door back and proceeds to wait on the porch.

What am i even doing right now? why did i decide to go with him and what have I got myself into.... I think to myself as I'm still willingly walking down the stairs to leave with him.
