Juliet POV
I was leaving work when Heath stopped me outside the door.
"What?" I asked him.
"I wanted to give you a ride home." He said and I sighed. It was starting to rain and I didn't want to walk.
"Fine." I agreed and got into his car.
"I also wanted you to tell Wade Barrett something." He said and I sighed.
"No, Heath, I'm not getting in the middle of this." I said and he smirked.
"You are already in the middle of it, princess." He said and I rolled my eyes at the nickname.
"Whatever." I mumbled.
"Just tell him that he hits off for the next week, but if in that time he doesn't come talk to me or Justin… he will be dead." He said and I gasped.
"Let me out!" I said and he smirked.
"Just sit there; we are almost home." He said and I sighed. He was right, but I didn't want to deal with him anymore.
"Be nice and tell Wade for us. Justin likes you and I know that it would disappoint your father if you told him Justin wasn't what you wanted." He said and I sighed. He was right; he wanted me to marry someone who could take care of me.
I walked up to Dad's and Mason opened the door for me. I hugged him and he stopped me before I started towards the guest house.
"Jules, wait." He said and I looked at him.
"What?" I asked him.
"I know that you have been overloaded with information, but I wanted you to know that he really is a good guy." He said and I sighed.
"Right, and you know this because?" I asked him.
"I knew him from when I fought in the underground. He was never a mean guy; he just wanted to make it. I knew him when he started, when he dated that bitch that really hurt him, and now he is trying to get out of all that." He said and I sighed. I had heard everyone's opinion, but his. I just wanted to hear his.
"Thanks, M." I said and walked back there.
Wade was standing there looking up at the sky. I watched him for a minute and realized that right now he looked just as venerable as he did when I found him face down on the concrete. I finally walked over and stood beside him. He finally looked at me and gave a small smile.
"Here." He said and handed me a beer. I gladly accepted it; I needed it.
"Thanks." I whispered and he pulled me inside the house.
"I am going to tell you everything, so please don't say anything until I am done. I haven't told many people all that I am going to tell you." he said and I nodded as I pressed the beer to my lips.
"I am an underground fighter with Justin and Heath. They actually run the thing because apparently they have enough of their parent's money to do whatever. I have been fighting for about 3 years since I moved back from Wales. My parents are very wealthy and own part of a few football leagues. I didn't want that life; I didn't feel free. I went to Wales, earned my degree, and moved here. I started out fighting to make some extra money, but Justin and Heath gave me an offer that was an easy way to make a lot of money at once. I was supposed to take out their enemies. I would fight them and hurt them severely, but the last person I fought I was supposed to kill. I couldn't do it and when they figured that out they put a hit out on me, because I had 'stolen' from them. I had been hiding out at my ex-girlfriends, but Heath got to her and I had leave. I was going to my best mates house when some punk jumped me. I was stabbed, as you know, and I was trying to make it to his house when I blacked out. I expected to die there on the concrete, but you saved me. I have never felt closer to someone than I do you Juliet and I have no idea why. You make me feel free and you are different from anyone else. I know that I am not the best person you can be around or the safest, but I promise you that I will never let anything or anyone hurt you." he said and I looked at him. I could see tears in his eyes and he was upset as he poured everything out to me.
"I know that you have talked to a lot of people about me and probably haven't gotten a lot of positive information. I understand that and I admit I am not the best person. I have a horrible temper and I can take it out on people… my ex girlfriend brought out the worse in me and I never fully got back to being a nice guy before I met you. I just don't want you to stop talking me. I understand if you don't like me, but I begging you to at least be my friend." He said and I sat my beer down.
He looked up when he heard the sound. I walked over and sat in front of him; his eyes held mine. I could tell that there was so much truth in them.
"Why do you hate my class?" I finally asked him and he sighed.
"Because of my family, I don't speak to them anymore because of bad terms. I didn't like having my whole life determined for me or liked having every move scrutinized because it might look bad for someone else." He said and I nodded. I understood that feeling all too well and I knew that if I was around Justin much longer that he would end up making my life that way.
"Look, Juliet, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you the truth the first time that you asked me, but I didn't want you to get hurt or involved in it. I just had no idea that you were the object of Justin or Heath's affection. I never wanted you to know about my past or anything about me. I never expected anyone to help me off the concrete and I fully expected to die there that night. I knew that if I died then no one else would or could be hurt by me… I just wish…" he was saying and I didn't want to hear him tell me that I had made a mistake by saving him.
I grabbed his face and pressed his lips to mine. He was startled, but pulled me into his lap. I moaned when his tongue ran past my bottom lip. I pulled away and looked at him; I leaned my forehead against his.
"It wasn't a mistake to save you and it never will be. I just wanted the truth." I said and he nodded.
"You will always have it from here on out." He said and I smiled.
"Oh, I have a message from Heath and Justin." I said and his grip on my tightened.
"What is it?" he asked me after a deep breath.
"You have week to talk to them or the hits back on." I said and he nodded.
Wade POV
I couldn't believe that Justin and Heath had told Juliet to talk to me. I didn't want her to be in the middle of my mistakes or problems.
"Come on, you are hungry." I said and he looked at me strange.
"How do you know that?" she asked me.
"I can tell because you are tipsy off one beer." I said and she laughed.
"Fine. I want Chinese." She said and I smiled.
We started walking towards the nearest underground station. She took my hand and I smiled at her; I kissed her knuckles softly.
"I'm glad you found me." I whispered to her and she smiled.
"Me too." She said.
