Chapter 15: Fatherly
KELLAN
"What have you summoned me for Erkek?" I was disgusted to be in the camera room.
"MY Lord look!" He points his wrinkly finger at the screen. "They are at the stage where we can introduce the drug! The council is getting impatient!" Erkek smiles revealing his jagged teeth. He has practiced chaos so long his body is becoming more and more demon like. When did they put cameras back up?
"Absolutely NOT! We have not tested the drug and it will not be used on my daughter under ANY circumstances."
"But my Lord, childbirth takes too many months and at this rate it may be years before she decides to settle with Noah!"
"We could let them live in the outside world and maybe they would be more inclined to do so." I gritted my teeth, trying not to give away my anxiety.
"My Lord don't be silly, they would be sure to hide themselves from us."
"Not from her mother though."
"Let me deliberate with the Council." His black eyes showed no emotion, I wish I had never become part of the chaos structure, but since the minute I entered the facility I was trained to be a ruthless emotionless man. Meeting Cameron had changed everything, she was strong and didn't let anyone take advantage of her. She had love in her heart and was stronger than me, proving all that I had been taught was wrong. If only it was sooner, I could have run away with her.
NOAH
Jordan and I spent more and more time in the training room and sometimes like today we got out of the west wing all together and went into the luxurious pool. Jordan jumps right in and I slowly wade over to her. The pool seems to glow around her as she smiles. The amount of skin she is showing makes me want to cover her with myself… That can wait, she needs to be out of her room for now to lighten her mood. She plays with the water and circles it around herself.
"I feel like a mermaid." She laughs not as wholeheartedly as normal. Still a laugh though.
"My beautiful mermaid girl!" I hoist her over my shoulder and toss her over into the deep end. She comes out sputtering and laughing a real laugh. I can't believe she is mine.
"Not fair! I wasn't prepared." She lifts me up with a column of water and drops me. "How do you like that pretty boy!"
"Ehh I like you more." I laugh, the banter was fun with her. I never thought I would be having a normal relationship with someone after I joined the Chaotics but here I am, with a girl. Committed, having fun and not regretting it. Jordan was so addicting, I loved to talk to her, to hold her, training with her is so intriguing and kissing her, oh wow it is heaven. The only problem is she is sad, she cant leave this place, can't even see outside and doesnt know for how long. I am scared for her and me, what would she do for freedom? Would she leave me behind? But I can't worry about these things or else she will feel worse and I am here to make her happy and distract her from the distraught. She elegantly swims around me and relieves stress and I watch her from the edge of the pool until she is tired. She comes up to me and waits for a kiss with that look she always gives me. "Do you need something Jo?" I give her a full Noah smirk.
"Just waiting for my reward."
"Reward for what?"
"Being so cute." She winks at me and I reward her with a soft kiss. How adorable is she come on. We hop out of the shimmering water and I take her hand in mine.
After returning to the hall she gives me those doe eyes so I just know.
"I'm quite hungry Noah." She has that innocent smile.
"So demanding Jellybean." I sigh jokingly with my hand on her shoulder, "I will be right back." I leave her side and press the call button on the way by the door. Jordan walks into the room without even thinking of escape.
Cameron shows up at the glass plated door. She just politely asks me,
"How is she?"
"I think she is doing okay, but I'm sure she's unhappy being pent up all the time." I was just being honest, her face looks solemn and we sharply turn a corner.
"This wont go on forever, please tell her that." She whispers then her face returns back into the stone goddess like expression. We continue to the kitchen as if she read my mind, we pass by the sorry looking prisoner named Jack. He doesn't even lift his eyes, I felt remorse for him getting caught for Jordan. He was dependent, and needy, but he sure as hell was dependable. Bringing back two covered plates of decadent food to Jordan I pass by Jack again but this time he looks up at me.
"I don't trust you one bit." His voice has an accusing tone.
"You don't need to trust me, It just might help you sleep at night." I look down on him. "I sleep quite well next to my beautiful Jordan." Right as the words left my mouth he jumps up and bangs on the door. His eyes were full of anger and hate. I've done it, I didn't mean to make a reason for Jordan to be angry at me but I am not perfect. I strut down the hall hiding my regret and feeling the storm in his eyes follow me.
JORDAN
"Jordan." Noah looks solemn, "I talked to your mother." I caught my breath, this must be serious.
"What did she say?" I cautiously ask. Noah leans towards me his calm ocean eyes spark a shiver down my spine. He brings his mouth closer to my ear to tell me the news.
"She said they are going to get you out of here soon." I look at him with awe, still so many questions flutter through my mind. My dad? Mom? Jack?? Noah?...
"I want to go with you, if you will have me.." his eyes full of question, do I accept him? Do I care for him? "Speechless Jellybean?" Noah asks peering into my eyes, I throw my arms around him and pull him down on the river of sheets. I was overwhelmed, tired, and scared, that may justify the few tears meandering down my face and soaking into Noah's thin shirt. He pets my hair and my heart pulses.
NOAH
We started to eat food after the emotional news and it was quiet for a couple minutes, a good quiet. Something felt a little wrong, she is growing less and less vibrant.
"Jordan what's going on?" I press my forehead against her shoulder, she was quieter than usual today and her aura was fading.
"I just feel my whole essence being ripped apart in this place, everything stone, every thread, every breath is trying to convince me to become chaos. It's getting harder and harder to resist." Her eyes are closed panting on a face of extreme exhaustion. I thought of every way I could help, but I may be making it worse for her. Spending so much time with someone of chaos.
"We can go see that Jack boy, I bet he would help you feel whole again." My voice cracked at the final word. Her serious eyes had a slight glow to them.
"I would like that," her lips press into my neck "you won't be too jealous will you?" Regaining some of her clever taunting.
"Oh well maybe you will have to make it up to me later." My classic smirk comes out to play.
I walk her to Jack's cell and he looks lifeless until he sees her, I give her a hug before I leave to start the preparations for her 18th birthday.
JACK
Jordan walked up to me with the boy and he let her have time with me, how kind, but he obviously doesn't see me as a threat to whatever relationship they have and I am. I AM.
"Jordy!" I bury my face in her hair hiding my tears. "Have they hurt you, what did he do?" I frantically ask holder her face between my palms.
"No my dad has actually been like a semi not evil dad, I get to train a little so I get out of my room….. Do they ever let you out of here?" She held my hands cupping her face slowly pulling my grasp off her.
"No… they don't." She didn't even think of that boy, exactly who my question was really directed at. This is worse than I thought. "What about that boy that lives with you?" I didn't want to see the light in her eyes for someone else, the twist of her lips smiling for someone else. At least I got to see it for maybe the last time.
"Oh Noah, he is so great, we train together and i guess since we are so close it doesn't feel like we are together 24/7."
"Except for now, you could run now Jordan get out of this place!" I plead, she doesn't even notice how free she is but love holds her captive. Love holds her captive….. Isn't that why I am here too? Without the benefit of being with her too.
"Things have gotten too complicated, my father…"
"Don't lie to me, it's because of him isn't it."
"Of who.." Her face feels warm and I can't look at her. "How would I get you out?"
"Just leave me. I'm better off here anyways." My voice had the acidic tone that I was trying to suppress. My heart's self defence was in effect. Jordan tried to communicate with me more but I couldn't speak to her. IT hurt too much, she finally gave up and I gave her one last glance. Her cheeks were tearstained and eyes were red. Goodbye Jordan, please be happy without me.
JORDAN
I was sobbing to the room since it was the only place I felt privacy. Noah wasn't there so I curled up in the shower and let out my emotions. It seemed like hours and the water was cold on my face. I couldn't tell what was tears anymore and I finally got out shaking. I heard the door open in the other room and assumed Noah was back from his adventures. Adventures I don't get to go on. I put on a sweater and leggings and wipe away my tears as much as possible so Noah wouldn't notice. I know he is trying so hard to make me happy, I don't want to discourage him. Opening the door I was instantly embraced. I was warm and tears were spilling again. This person isn't Noah though, he smelled of ash and salt and was much taller than me.
"Jordan, how can I help please tell me." My father's voice soft and careful. I wanted to run away but I didn't have the energy. He was here for me now so I can afford this much trust.
"I am so alone." I can't help myself from sobbing on him. "Jack hates me, everyone here hates me. I don't even know any other soul like me. Dad." I felt him take in a big breath.
"I'm afraid all I ever tell you are excuses. I want to protect you from the world but it seems the worst enemy is right here. It is all my fault for wanting to be in your life." His words were so desperate and sad I felt so bad for my father. It wasn't his fault he was born into chaos as much as it was my fault I was me.
"Dad, I'm glad im here with you." He instantly gave a heartfilled sigh and squeezed me tighter. I felt so much better, like a hole in my heart was filled.
