The nerd can fight?

Part 30

Later on I was let out of the hospital. I shielded my eyes away from the sun as I walked out the hospital and over to Xanders car.

I hugged my family goodbye my mother had to be clawed off of me swearing to the man above that if I didn't take better care of myself she'd shoot me herself. Eventually I jumped in the car with the help of Xander.

"Princessa can you tell me why your family seemed so concerned about you while you in there" Xander began.

"It's a long story" I said looking out the window.

"We have time" he said putting his hand on my thigh. I sighed knowing he wasn't going to give up until I told him.

"When I was younger my grandparents were in a gang. More importantly my Grandfather ran the gang. At the time I knew nothing about gangs or street fighting but I begged my Grandfather to tell me what he did as a job. I didn't want to go into anyone's work but my Grandfathers seemed fun. One night when my Grandfather was walking me home we got 'randomly' attacked at the time I didn't know who it was but when I grew up I learned who it was. My Grandfather covered me up with his coat so they couldn't see me and they killed him. My Grandfather died because he was trying to protect me" I cried.

"Grace you don't have to continue if you don't want to clearly it still hurts" he said pulling over into a lay-by.

"No it's ok. When we went for that meeting with Owen I didn't realise who he was at that time but he was the person who killed my Grandfather. Owen saw me the day he killed him and when they attacked he said I looked like him more than I realised. I lost it and fought him after he hurt the people I knew. So here we are" I said with a humourless laugh.

Before I knew it I was being dragged into the back and lied down on top of Xander. He hugged me close until I stopped crying.

"I love you" he murmured.

I looked up at him and looked rather confused from what I guess. He was a gang leader they can't have a weakness. But fuck it.

"I love you too" I said back. He looked shocked but sat up quickly and stared into my eyes. I smiled gently. He leaned in slowly unknowingly so did I until our lips met in the middle. Our lips matched together like they were made for each other.

We pulled away putting our foreheads together until we heard the sound of an engine coming closer than normal. I looked through the back window seeing blacked out windowed car coming at top speed towards us.

"Get in the front and drive as fast as you possible" I said to Xander. He looked at confused but did as I asked.

I reached under the seat pulling out a gun. I pulled the window down and started to shoot at the car. It was one of Owens cars. The first thing I noticed when he arrived was that all his number plates started with an V for Vipers and they were all blacked out.

I aimed at the front tire hoping to burst it. I was about the pull the trigger when they pulled a gun at the front window and started shooting aimlessly hitting other cars.

"We need to get away from the civilians" I called out to Xander. He nodded in agreement and pulled onto an abandoned road. I aimed again and hit the car but not the tire. Instead I aimed for the arm holding the gun in the window.

"Xander drive carefully I need a steady ride" I said smiling at him. He knew what I was planning to do. He speed up and gained full control of the car before turning sharply. We drifted perfectly round the corner giving me full access to the open window. I shot the man in the arm then the chest hoping to pierce a heart or lung.

I crawled over to the drivers side so I could get the other tire to stop the car. I shot and missed but only slightly. I repositioned before shooting and successfully shooting the tire. I cheered as I watched the car drive down the hill and into the ditch bellow. The man crawled out the car before getting shot by Xander.

I kissed his cheek while coming through into the front seat. He pulled up to and opening overlooking hills. It was beautiful.

"I know it's not the most special proposal but I don't think it could be any more unique. I knew from the first time we bumped into each other at the underground you were a girl that I could use in my gang to make it stronger but I don't see you as that now I see you as a girl that will do anything to protect my family as well as her own with her life and what better way to bring you into the family than through marriage" he said getting on one knee.

"Xander" I gasped.

"Grace wells will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" He said. I nodded before tackling him to the ground with a hug.

Soon enough we were back at the house with everyone gathering round some congratulated us while some asked about the attack.

I watched as Sam and Sadie started to walk over to us. I watched as Sadie scowled at me when I hugged sam for just a bit to long but the favour was returned when she kissed Xander just barely missing his mouth. If she was trying to fight bring it on.

With that the whole afternoon was spent talking with the gang members and talking wedding plans. In the end I was as happy as I was going to get until something else popped up.
