"Caly?"

"What is happening?" I roll my eyes, glaring at Jace. I don't want to do this.

He gestures towards the area in front of him. It's a clear message, take your stage. I glare at him, swinging to my feet. My heels click as I stalk forward. I stop right before Jace and shoot him my death glare. He knows me well enough to take a hesitant step backwards. Saul steps forward, quieting his very angry mob of relatives. Do you really need enough kids to make a small army! Seriously, just quit after one, or none.

"What is going on?" Saul spits in anger at George.

"Caly I think that you can take this one." Jace says pointedly. He's right. It makes sense for me to do it but seriously, he does not need to be this much of a jackass about it. It's not like he has never lied about anything, I learned from the best. Haha not true. He totally learned from me.

I cross my hands together, carefully turning to the Benedicts. Its making me slightly nervous about how angry they are. I knew that they were angry but seriously, this is over dramatic. I mean, all I did was lie to them, manipulate them and break their trust. No biggie. Will's eyes burn into me as I inhale deeply.

"Is this the point in time where you want me to lie to spare your delicate feelings?" I smile as sweetly as I can, trying to ignore the fact that Zed looks like he wants to shove me off a cliff. Sky just looks confused. Damn it, why does she look so much like a kicked puppy. Its totally unfair. I mean, I can pull it off but not that good. Is it the eyes? Or the hair?

"From the silence, I'm guessing no." I roll my eyes and lean back against the same counter that Jace is leaning back against.

"This is my job. I was given a file about each one of you and told to do whatever it took to get to your house. We were hired by the net to protect you but you already know that part. I'm missing something!... What am I missing?"

I tilt my head looking at Lea. She shrugs. "Nah, I think I'm good!" I clap my hands together, "Now open for questions." "Waht the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Damn. Where are your manners? It's not polite to say fuck!" I smile at Zed. I've never really liked him. I always got the feeling that he would have anger issues. I am hoping that Jace does not jump at him because that will just not be pretty. Like not at all.

"You can't just walk into this room and announce that you've been lying to us this whole time!" Victor demanded.

"Actually I can. Its called telling the truth. I'm not very good at it and to be honest I like lying way better but in some situations it's slightly more entertaining just to tell the truth."

"Entertaining?." Jace growls.

"I mean the right thing to do. Obviously we want to morally correct and always do the right thing!" I turn to him quite cheerily, "Better?" I demand.

He shrugs, "I'll take it." I turn back to the Benedicts. They still look like they are going to throttle me. Diamond is looking around frantically, trying to calm the situation down. She's kind of failing but she's doing ok I guess. No one is dead on the floor yet so I count this as a positive experience, so far.

"Alright, we should probably head." Lea says quickly, sitting up. She is clearly trying to get us out of here before someone dies. I shrug,peeling off the counter and join Lea by the door. "Wait!" Will steps forward. I swivel back towards him. He looks devastated, his eyes fixed on me, a mixture of betrayal and hurt in his eyes.

"You are my soulfinder! You can't just leave. We belong together, whether you lied or not. I still love you and I still want to make this work." Aww. It's the big dramatic speech time that every single romantic movie has. The big end speech with the smooth jazz music building to a crescendo, as the girl runs into the boy's arms. Yay.

Honestly, I'd give him an 8 out of ten. He's kind of overdoing the whole "soulmate destined to be together crap." Still, I can't help the little twinge of pain that shoots through me. I shove it aside, it's perfectly obvious that the little twinge is just the small part of my DNA that thinks we should be together forever. It is a small part right? Of course it is.

"I am going to spell this out for you. I dont give a damn about you. It was just a job for me. Now the healthy thing for you to do is go get a new girlfriend because this one is never going to love you. Ever."

"What!" Will demands, stepping forward and grabbing my arm.

Zed is right beside him, "You fucking bitch.!" he snaps in anger.

"Get your fucking hands off my sister!" Jace seethes, grabbing Will's other arm. "Jace" I warn. This could be really bad. Like helicopters and people screaming and tanks firing missiles bad. "Your sister?" Will questions, still gripping onto my arm. He looks so confused and hurt. The two emotion that I was trying to avoid him feeling today. It would have been so much easier if I could have just killed some bad guys in front of him and said what I needed to say and then never saw him again. Now, I get to deal with the explosion.

"I said, get your fucking hands off her!" Jace's voice has gotten dangerously loud. That is never a good sign.

"Jace!" I warn, stepping towards him, trying to pull my hand out of Will's grasp. Will seems shell shocked, barely even moving. Zed however, takes a step towards Jace.

"Dont talk to my brother like that. It's not his fault that your sister is a bitch." Jace wheels his fist back. Oh shit. I catch his hand in mid air before it hits Zeds face. My wrist bends backward, hard enough that I hear it snap. A sudden burning pain flickers up my wrist, all the way to my elbow. My shoulder pops out of its socket and the force of the punch knocks my arm back. I am going to kill Jace.

"Fuck." I hiss out, dropping Jace's hand.

"Can you guys just fiucking chill!" Lea snaps, wandering over to my side. Collin stands farther away from the action, glaring at the little commotion.

He's a fat lot of help.

"Sorry Caly." Jace mutters, dropping his fist. He's still obviously pissed off but definitely is quailing under all of our glares. The entire Benedict family is gasping at us. Xav steps forward, hand outstretched to reach my arm, like he is going to heal it. Crystal pulls him back as Trace reaches out, yanking Will and Zed back into the group. No one wants to get close to Jace right now, and that means me by default. I stretch my arm out, ignoring the burning feeling. I feel the bones pop back into place in my arm.

"Did you have to break my fricken arm?" I glare at Jace as I push my shoulder back into place. "Sorry" he repeats, glaring at the ground.

"Let's go pack." Collin speaks up finally. Lea nods and instantly grabs Jace's arm, dragging him out of the room. I follow, still flexing my arm as the bones slide back into place.

"Wait!" Will has fought his brother off, pushing Trace away. He steps forward, glaring at me, eyes full of hurt. "I trusted you! I thought we really had something." I turn back in the doorway. I suddenly feel dead tired. I just want to go home and sleep. Or get caffeine. I just don't care anymore. His eyes meet mine with desperation.

I almost guarantee that all he can see on my face is boredom. "Well you can't exactly blame me then can you?" I say, calmly as possible. All I want to do is get this over with. I want to stop looking at his poor heart broken face.

Not that I care about him. I think. "What are you talking about?" Saul glares at me in anger. He's been quiet this whole time but looks pretty damn pissed.

"You can't exactly blame me." I shrug, sliding my leather jacket over my shoulders.

"It was your mistake." And with that, I exit the room, my heels clicking the only clear sound.
