The Bad Boy and The Cheerleader.

Brothers?!

Chapter 7

..:Ali POV:..

When I turned my phone on the next morning, I saw miscalls and texts from Toby and Mark and the cheerleadering squad. I guess i forgot to tell them I was skipping yesterday and today. I sighed and read the texts from Mark first. All he said was 'call me I'll explain' and 'baby girl please call me back'. I rubbed my eyes and went to Toby's texts. My eyes widened. He sent me eighty messages! Geez! I didn't feel like reading them so I just called him.

"Ash?! Baby, please let me explain!" He sounded scared, that made me frown.

"Okay, explain how you know that girl and Mark?" He sighed and stayed silent for a minute before explaining.

"That girl was my girlfriend for two years. Freshmen year to sophomore year. I haven't seen, heard or talk to her for two years. I don't know what she was doing at my house but something tells me Mark has something to do with it." I could picture him rubbing his temples. He does that when he gets stressed. It's funny how I notice things when I've only known him for two days. Two days.. Seems like it's been years. 

"And as of Mark, he's my older brother." He whispered the last part. As if he was afraid to tell me the answer. Wait, brothers?!

"But he's so much nicer than you!" I practically yelled in the phone.

"Well thanks princess, feeling the love!" 

"I'm sorry, it's just he took me out for ice cream and was real sweet." I frowned. How can they be brothers? They're complete opposites.

"That's his little game! He'll sweet talk girls and take them out and make them feel special and when they're finally ready to sleep with him, after they do, he drops them!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"That sounds like you, Toby. Not him." I immediately regretted saying that.

"You think I'm like that?" He sounded hurt. Shit.

"N-no! I didn't mean it like that!" I hate stuttering! Damn my nervousness. 

"No. No it's fine. I see how you see me now. Bye Ashley." Toby growled and hung up without another word. Damn it! He never says my whole name. I tried calling him back but he didn't pick up. So I called Mark instead.

"Baby girl! I was starting to think you forgot about me." Was it bad that I was fixing to use him to talk to Toby? Probably. But I didn't care at this point. 

"Mark, is Toby there? He hung up on me and won't answer me." I heard Mark sigh and move around a little.

"Toby left with that Madi girl. Apparently she bought a new apartment and needs help with something." My heart dropped. He went to her? I felt like my heart was breaking but I was also angry. Maybe even a little jealous.

"Baby girl? Hello? Hey, he's not worth being upset over! How about I come pick you up and we'll have a day out, yeah?" I thought about what Toby said but I remembered he had his slut. I'll go out with him but make sure to be cautious. 

"Pick me up in 20 minutes!" He agreed and hung up. At this point I didn't care of Toby found out. He deserved it for going to that... I can't even think of a word for her. 

..:Mark POV:..

My plan was working wonderfully. Toby never left. He grabbed vodka bottles and locked himself in his room. I grinned remembering when Ash believed me, she's so gullible. I went upstairs to get changed and grab some of the drug I use to knock girls out. I walked out of my room to see Toby standing outside his. Telling by the look on his face, he was beyond pissed. Especially when he saw the drug in my hand.

"Stay away from her!" He growled at me. I chuckled and walked to him.

"Why? Afraid I'll fuck her first? After I turn her against you, she'll come running to me. Begging me to take the pain away." I sneered and got into his face. 

"And after I fuck her, I'll throw her away like the trash she is." I gave my best villanous grin and pushed past him, heading downstairs and out the door. 

..:Zach POV:..

I was finally released from the hospital. Damn nurses, so persistent on keeping me there. I think they had a thing for me. Yeah, no. One was happily married and the other was old enough to be my grandmother. I shook my head and stepped into my house to see Ash running around looking for something. She was in a dress and heels. Is she going out with Toby?

"Ash? Why you so dressed up?" I shut the door behind me. She looked at me and gave me her biggest smile. Next thing I knew, she was wrapped up in my arms while I hugged her tight.

"You're home! Ohmygod it started getting too quiet and lonely in this house!" I chuckled and kissed her head.

"You going somewhere darlin?" She nodded her head before pulling away to put her.. there's too many shit to list. She basically filled her purse to the brim. 

"I met this wonderful guy, Zach. He's so sweet and just perfect. His name is Mark and he just pulled up." She said in a rush. She kissed my cheek and was out the door before I could say anything. I looked outside and saw the kid wave at me before helping her into the car. I watched as he made sure she was situated then got in the car and drove off. He looked familiar. I've seen him somewhere, I just know it.

I grabbed my phone and called some of my buddies, giving them the description of the kid. It wasn't till the fifth friend I called that I got an answer. 

"It sounds like Mark Anderson. Dude, if he's with your sister, you need to get her quick. He's known for drugging women and raping them. Cops are having a hard time getting him since he's gone after his victim." I was out the door before he finished his last sentence. The asshole has been in the news for weeks. How did Ashley not recognize him?!
