Game Plan

JACE POV

Commotion by the front door brings Ella and I hurrying from the bedroom. I had just finished changing the bandage on her side when I hear the front door slam open. Ella and I give each other the same confused looks before I rush out, keeping Ella behind me in case there is danger. Jude is setting the bags of Chinese food down on the counter, but as soon as he sees us his facial expression tells me that someone is going to get it.

Before I can utter a single word, Jude beats me to it,” know who that motherfucker is!”

“Which motherfucker are we talking about?” Ella asks and I have to give her a double take for even saying the word motherfucker without being prompted to, but Jude’s words are more important at the moment.

I turn back to my friend and wait for him to start explain ing his outburst, “Your stalker, Ella. I know who he is!”

“Are you going to enlighten us anytime soon, then?” | ask sarcastically

Jude begins to pace back and forth just as Beth and Owen come walking through the door. He looks at the new comers, “Slow pokes!” My friend chuckles and I scowl.

“Seriously, Jude. You can’t drop a bomb like that and then leave us hanging.” I glare at him.

“Sorry Lil’ D. I didn’t want to have to explain it all again once your guard got in here.” He snickers but still doesn’t elaborate.

Suddenly, both me and Ella yell Jude’s name at the same time, earning us another chuckle from the asshole that I call my friend. I swear to God, if he doesn’t come right out and say it, I may go ape shit on his ass. He must see something in my expression because he stops laughing and rolls his eyes.
