Off limits

Jace

I can't fucking wait to get home. Being away for a year has done me good but damn I miss being home. First things first is a visit to Austin because call me soft but that guy is my brother. It may not be by blood but we've had eachothers backs for our whole lives. My family and his have been close since the day we were born.

Last year my parents decided to send me away for a football boot camp. No expense was spared in chasing my future career. Daily training and games has totally destroyed my body but in a good way. If I was muscular before now I'm basically the fucking hulk. I had to get all new clothes while away because nothing fitted me anymore. My soft smooth muscle now ripped and hard blocks of terror over my body. For being only 20 to say people are impressed would be an understatement. I roll my shoulders easing the ache, not working out today has actually brough the pains and aches into my muscles that aren't usually there. I gaze out the bus window as we enter the town I grew up in, a small smile plays on my lips at the homely small town feel of it.

Pulling up to the bus stop my parents driver is waiting. I should have known they would be working. A small twinge at not seeing them first hits me but I brush it off knowing I'll see them later anyway.

Hopping off the bus I greet the driver who's known me since a child.

"Carlos. Good to see you old friend." I say with a smile as he looks me over.

"Jace. It's been too long. You look... different." I chuckle and throw my bag in the back sliding in after it as he moves to the drivers side.

"Where we off to?" He says with a smile knowing my answer.

"I think you know where we're going." I smile back and he shakes his head with his knowing smile and takes off for Austins house.

Roxy

"Roxy!" My brother calls with a singsong kind of voice that makes my eyes roll as he bounds into my room without knocking I lock my phone and put it down on my bed, sitting up to face him.

"Dude! Knock!" I scold and he rolls his eyes looking around.

"Where's Jasper?"

"He's not here yet. He's supposed to be coming soon. Why?" I question as to why Austin is asking for my boyfriend.

"Just had a call off Jace, he's on his way over so I'm throwing a welcome home party with the team. Just though I'd warn you." He winks and my eyes roll. Great. One of Austins famous parties. Drinking, thumping music and worst of all. Cheerleaders. The fucking slutty queen bitches in our school.

"You and Jasper can stay up here. Keep your door locked. You know how the guys are, even though they know you're off limits that won't stop them." With a sigh I shake my head.

"Fine."

"Thanks sis! Oh and will you cover for me with mom and dad? I know they're away but it will be you they call to check up on me... like I need a babysitter." Austin my older yet irresponsible brother does indeed need a baby sitter that is usually me... even though I'm a year younger it seems I have the maturity jeans that skipped him.

"Fine. But you owe me! Whatever I want! Whenever I want it!" He holds his hands up in surrender but smiles.

"Deal. Love you sis!" He coos sarcistically and I sigh shaking my head and go back to scrolling on my phone. My anxiety for tonight now peaked. I hate when he parties, it always makes me anxious. Especially because now even though people will be around, me and Jasper will be completely alone... I bite my lip thinking of my options. Me and Jasper have been together for 6 months but even still we haven't even kissed. Not for his lack of trying but I'm just worried I'll do it wrong and he'll leave me for someone more experienced.

Jasper is one of the more popular kids compared to me. He's one of the football student coaches at the school and a straight A student at the same time. Although he keeps that information to himself so he can play off being the bad boy whenever he can. He's the only person Austin has ever let close to me, on the condition we only see eachother whenever Austin is home or around the area. He's extremely over protective and I know why. He's seen some of his "friends" do some unforgivable things to girls that didn't want them but were forced into kisses and groping anyway. He doesn't trust any of them aside from Jasper and Jace. Jace has been Austins best friend our entire childhood and they've always been inseporable. They used to pick on me when I was a kid and pull my hair or trip me over. You know the usual brotherly love. I snort at the thought. Austin does love me he just shows it in strange ways. The main one being his over protective nature towards me especially being his "baby sister" as he so likes to call me.

I'm thinking about going down to the kitchen to grab supplies to haul up in my room all night when the doorbell rings. I look down at my phone and assume it's Jasper so hop off the bed and jog down the stairs to see Austin opening the door but it's not Jasper. It's someone I recognise but they look entirely different after a year away. Damn... he's kind of sexy...
