After we're done on set Lizzie had insisted she come with me to my house with to get my things. But I told her it'd be fine, she should go home and I'll meet her there after I gather up some things. After some convincing she agreed for me to just meet her at her house. So, I say bye to her and head off to my house. I slowly approach my house, not seeing any cars other than mine I pull into the driveway. I get out of my car and walk up to my door ready to unlock the door when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump and spin around, "Whoa hey its me!" Xander puts his hands up like he's surrendering. I put my hand on my chest trying to slow my heartbeat as it nearly leaped out of my chest. "Why are you so jumpy?"

"Because! What are you doing here?! It's late Xander." I huff unlocking my front door and walking into my house.

"I don't want to be home. I wanted to hangout with you" He follows in behind me shutting the front door.

"I'm going to stay over at Lizzie's tonight bud" I sigh walking up my stairs, hearing his footsteps following after me.

"Why?" He queries following me into my room.

"Because she's my girlfriend?" I chuckle as he scoffs and sits down on my bed.

"You're jumpy and going to Lizzie's to sleep. What's going on?" He squints his eyes at me as I grab a bag and start putting clothes and other things into it.

"It's none of your concern Xander" I watch as he rolls his eyes at me. "What? It's not"

"You nearly screamed like a little girl out there." He crosses his arms and scoffs.

"I did not. I don't want to be home either so I'm staying with Lizzie tonight" I shake my head and walk into the bathroom to grab my toothbrush.

"Can I come with you?" He queries getting up off the bed.

"How about I drop you off back at home?" I raise an eyebrow at him while walking back into my room.

"But I don't want to go home! I had mum drop me off and everything!" He whines falling back onto my bed.

"Why don't you want to be home?" I drop my bag next to him putting the toothbrush in my bag.

"Mum and dad are asking about school and I want to hangout with you."

"Why don't you tell them what's going on? They can help you know." I suggest while zipping my bag up.

"No, that's embarrassing! Tattling to my parents. I'll get bullied even more! Mum said I could stay the night and you could take me to school tomorrow" He explains sitting up, giving me a pouty face.

I think for a few moments, then sigh. "Fine. I have an idea. You can come with me to Lizzie's, I'll take you to school. Then after school I'll be waiting for you out front" I explain, throwing my bag over my shoulder.

"Wait like... you're going to be standing? Out front?" He asks cautiously as I start walking out of my room.

"Yep. Is that a problem?" I query walking downstairs with him close behind.

"Why exactly are you going to be standing outside?" He asks.

"Because, I'm a big guy. I'm sure when they see me standing waiting for you, looking annoyed, they'll bugger off" I explain now pushing him towards the front door.

"You think?" He looks back at me once we get to the front door.

"I can be scary if I want to. Now maybe we should start having you work out more" I look him up and down as he glares at me.

"Why?"

"So many questions. Get" I open the door and push him out first. "You think anyone will mess with you if you start getting buff?" I query shutting my front door and locking it. "Look maybe it'll give you confidence to stand up to your bullies. These little assholes deserve to be put in there place. And if not by you, I'll do it myself" I drape my arm across the back of his neck starting to walk towards my Honda.
