AUSTIN'S POV

"It was completely crazy! We heard gunshots and everything!" Ashton spills to Ari. She looks at him with wide eyes.

"Yeah, and tell her about when you three didn't help us out." I add. Ashton looks at his hands.

"We thought you had it under control." Calum repeats his earlier words.

"Obviously, we fucking didn't." Becky bites back at him. Calum looks at the wall to the side of him.

"We didn't have any weapons." He says meekly.

"Neither did we!" Becky says referring to her and I.

"It's not like there were any important casualties." Calum says.

Well, shit. He's done for.

"Not any 'important casualties'?" She asks him, rage fills her eyes. I can't help myself from being turned on by how hot she is when she's angry.

"Yeah, I mean, you're back anyways. So, we don't really need Mateo." Calum mutters.

"You talking about my uncle, you fuck!" She shouts. Calum's face pales.

"I-I forgot I'm so so-" Becky cuts him off with a right hook to his jaw. Calum groans.

"Anyone who dies is important, you dick. People are not pawns. We are all human and we are all valuable." She spits at him. Calum looks like he's about to smack her. I feel my eyes widen. He stops his arm and brings it back to his side.

"You're right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I apologize for what I said." He sighs and sits back down.

"I-I'm sorry for punching you in the face. I don't know where that came from." She says with a regretful sigh and hugs him. My chest tightens at the sight, but I try to contain my possessive nature for Becky's sake.

"You are forgiven." Calum smiles at her.

"So are you." She replies. She walks away from him and grabs a cup. Everyone in the room looks at me, and Calum sits at the table staring at my Becky with a dopey grin on his face.

"Hey, Beck?" I ask her, she looks at me.

"Yeah?" She asks filling her cup with water.

I walk over to her and grasp her hips. I turn her around and she gasps before I silence her with my lips. I force my mouth on hers until she couldn't tell whose air she was breathing. Her lips feel like a strong dose of morphine, as my problems seem to slip away. I feel like the ground drops from under my feet. I pull back and she looks at me with wide eyes.

It's been forever since we've kissed and she still reacts the same way.

"I-I gotta-" She doesn't finish her sentence before she disappears out of the kitchen.

"Whoa." I hear behind us. I turn to look at the idiots behind me.

"I mean, I thought Austin was a good kisser, but I never thought he could be that good." I hear Sel say.

"It wasn't that good." Michael says.

"Are you kidding me? Beck couldn't even form a sentence after that." Vanessa says.

"Have you ever left a girl speechless after kissing her?" Sel asks him.

"I think I could do that to her. If I had the chance." I hear Calum say. I glower at him.

"Don't come near her. You understand, Hood?" I spit at him.

"What? Are you afraid of a little competition, Mahone?" He asks me.
