My Bully’s Love by Stacy Rush

CHAPTER 9: YOU ARE MINE

JACE POV

I’ve stayed away from Ella for over a month now, not knowing how to be around her any longer. That night in her bedroom, when I pleasured her, I realized the truth. I was lied to two years ago, and out of jealousy, I gave up the only good thing in my life. I took everyone but her family away from her and tormented her almost every day. Mason Baker is the reason I acted out and turned into this monster. I guess he never really came out and told me that he and Ella had sex, but he did insinuate it. When all is said and done, I’m the only one at fault for ruining Ella’s life, but that doesn’t mean I won’t pay the fucker back.

A few days later I cornered Mason and inquired about what really happened between him and Ella that night. I still remember the conversation as if it was yesterday.

“Mason!” I holler across the parking lot after football practice as he’s getting ready to leave.

“Yo, Jace, what’s up?” he holds his fist out for me to fist bump, but my fist flies past his as it connects with his jaw, “What the fuck man!” He grabs his jaw, moving it back and forth as he glares at me.

“I want to know what the fuck happened between you and Ella the night of that party two years ago! You better not lie to me this time either!” I’m seething in anger as I wait for him to begin. There’s a change in his stance once he realizes that I somehow know the truth.

“Why are you bringing that night up? I thought you didn’t like the bitch anymore.”

I want to slam my fist into his face again just for calling her a bitch, but I still have to keep to my script for now, “Because I don’t like being lied to, fuck face, and I just found out that you never fucked Ella that night!”

The bastard has the nerve to smirk, “I never said that I fucked her, just that she was a wild one, and that I wouldn’t mind tapping that. It’s not my fault if you took it the wrong way.”

“Wrong! You said that you wouldn’t mind tapping that AGAIN, and that she was all over you!” I grab the front of his shirt and get right up in his face, “So, how is that me taking what you said wrong?”

“Okay, calm the fuck down!” I shove him against his car when I let go, “I might have embellished a little, but only because she thought she was too good for me and wouldn’t even try giving me a chance.”

“So, you thought tarnishing her name would get her to change her mind?”

“No, but it made me feel better, especially when I saw the look on your face,” he chuckles, “I could tell that you were in love with her; that’s why I did it.”

That’s when I lost it and swung at him and didn’t stop until Toby was pulling me away from him. Mason kept telling me that I was going to regret laying my hands on him, but I’m not scared of that piece of shit. Toby keeps telling me to calm down, and so I break away from him and walk the other way.

I fucked up when I didn’t go to my best friend and ask for her side of the story, I just took a stranger at his word. Now, I don’t know how to reverse everything I have done to Ella that caused her pain. Call me a bastard, but I won’t apologize for the little punishments that I gave her. The Dom in me won’t allow it, even if she wasn’t aware that I considered her mine, she still disobeyed me; these aren’t the times that I’m talking about. No, I mean getting everybody to shun her, and threatening her other two best friends.

I’ve thought about going to Amy and Bree and telling them that they can have their best friend back, but deep down I don’t want her running to anyone but me. I want to make it so I’m her whole world, and she doesn’t need anybody else. What I do need to do, though, is figure a way to make it so I can be seen in public with my Ella, because I will make her mine real soon.

my two best friends, so they should understand, shouldn’t they? I’m going to take the route of saying how hot Ella’s gotten and that I’m gonna try my luck with her and see how that goes over. As soon as we find a table and sit down, though, a couple of the middle tables clear and my eyes land right on the girl that is constantly on my

My best option is to take the day off tomorrow to get my plan in place, and so I don’t go ape shit on anyone, because as of right now, I can literally kill Baker, or worse, seriously hurt Ella out of anger.
