Hurt

Wesley's Perspective

I flew down the stairs, grabbing the keys, and jumped into the car. I put the 

keys in the ignition before realizing what I was doing. Was I really driving 

down the police station to bail my 16 year old brother out of jail? Was I 

rescuing him from what he just said to his girlfriend? Telling him I would get 

him out even though he beat up somebody and got a DUI and for running from the 

cops? No. I wasn't doing it. I picked up my phone and called the station telling 

them Keaton would have to wait. I had to play Superman once again, trying to 

save Alli from something Keaton, the supposed good guy, did.

Alli's Perspective

"Your back already?" I asked. Wesley was supposed to be picking up Keaton but he 

was back within five minutes. Without Keaton. Wesley took my hand and brought me 

onto the front porch, leading me into his lap. I leaned my head against his 

chest, listening to his heartbeat. "I don't want him to come back," I whispered. 

"I'm scared." Wesley pulled me closer before kissing me. "Im here. It's okay. 

I'll always protect you." He always has been too, I thought. He was here when 

Keaton wasn't. He picked up the pieces and never made me cry. Was I actually 

beginning to develop feelings for him? Wesley rubbed my back and kissed me. 

"Wesley," I started. "Why are you here to pick up the pieces every time? Don't 

you get tired of all the drama?" I felt Wesley tense up but soon enough he 

relaxed and continued. "I - I love you." He stuttered out. I have never seen 

Wesley act like this. "I love you Alli," he finished. "I love you too," I 

mumbled burying my head into his chest.
