The Bad Boy and The Cheerleader.

Poor Drake

Ash POV

After Toby dropped me off, I ran into the house only to find my very unhappy brother. He had that 'you're in so much trouble young lady' look dad would always get. And dad would be proud. 

"The school called and said you weren't there!" He snapped at me. I whimpered quietly and looked down at my shoes. I hate it when he yelled at me. Hopefully I'd get out of this without him taking something away. Even though I was almost eighteen, didn't mean he never grounds me. But I never argue like most teenagers because he had to hold off on his life to take care of me. I wasn't going to fight back when it wasn't his fault.

"Hello?! Tell me why you skipped! To be with some boy?!" Zach kept shouting and I just stood there, afraid to speak. He sighs and rubs at his temples, which means he's trying to calm himself down. He hates yelling, but it's like he thinks I won't hear him if he talked normal. I think he got it from daddy. 

"I skipped because I saw Drake make out with another girl and I didn't want to be in school." I didn't bother looking up at him, knowing he's about to get angry. Again. And I was right. His head snapped up, making it pop and looked at me with wide eyes. I already knew his eyes were filling up with anger and hatred. He never did like Drake. 

"That little.." He yelled while moving towards me. I whimpered louder and backed up. I looked into his eyes and saw hurt and anger. Zach cautiously came closer to hug me to his chest and stroked my hair. I loved it when people stroked my hair. I snuggled into his chest and sighed softly. 

"I'm sorry Ash, I knew he wasn't good for you, I just knew it," he mumbled against my hair. When he hugged me, I didn't hold it in any longer. I bursted into tears and sobbed till he picked me up to carry me to the couch where he held me all night. Sooner or later, I cried myself to sleep.

"I'm gonna kill him." I heard Zach mutter before I lost complete conciousness. I woke up the next morning, feeling numb and heart broken. However, I did smell bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I knew Zach was making my favorite breakfast to cheer me up. I wonder if I can stay home today and stuff my face with ice cream. Maybe watch some romance movies then yell at the girl that the boy was just going to cheat later. Would that be stupid? I don't care. I'm heartbroken! I got up and sort of stumbled like a drunk man into the kitchen. I sat down at the island and took in a deep breath. Oh god it smells yummy. 

"Morning baby sis!" Zach shouted with a huge smile on his face. He's up to something. I managed to put on a real smile and breathed in the wonderful aroma. My stomach immedatly growled in response. 

"Zach," I mumbled his name and watched him turn around to look at me. "Can I stay home from school today?" I have him my best puppy dog face. He sighed and turned back around to put the food on plates then put them in front of me. He even made the bacon extra crispy! And the pancakes had chocolate chips in them. Oh yeah, he was definetly up to something. He only cooked what I liked when he wanted something or was about to do something he shouldn't. 

"Please Zach? I don't wanna go and see Drake all over another girl," I mumbled. He walked over to me and kissed my head.

"Yeah sweetheart, you can stay home today and tomorrow too since tomorrow is Friday." I hugged him tight and muttered a quiet thank you. He pointed at the food and to me then raised his eyebrow, silently asking if I wanted it. Of course I do! I smiled and started stuffing my face. How many times have I said yummy? Because this was YUMMY.

When I was finished eating and cleaned up my dirty dishes, I walked towards the living room when I heard Zach talking to someone. Must be on the phone but I froze when I realized what he was saying.

"That Drake kid is gonna get it. Today after their school ends, meet me and we'll teach the asshole a lesson but make sure Ash doesn't find out." I hurried to the living room and sat down when I heard him start to come in here.
