Bad Blood

Lexa's POV

"Meet me upstairs." Luke whispered in my ear. Chills ran down my spine as his breath hit my skin. I watched as he walked away and I shot a look to Madison. She saw what just went down and had a cheeky grin plastered on her face. I dragged my eyes from her to my brother. He was currently talking to Ash about something. Good, he was occupied.

"I have to use the restroom." I announced so they knew where I'd 'be'. A load of mumbled sures left me on my way. As I started up the stairs I felt the butterflies in my stomach. I felt like it was my freshman year again. I met Luke when I was in eighth grade and instantly was attracted to him, though, I never admitted to myself until halfway through freshman year. That's when I told him "Hey, I think you're kinda cute." and he said the same thing about me. I knew Cal would have a problem with his sixteen year old friend dating his barely fifteen year old baby sister, so I used to sneak out and meet up with Luke. The first time was to the movies and we saw Divergent. I felt awkward when the kissing scene came on because everyone was hooting and hollering, but Luke grabbed my hand and leaned over to me. He didn't kiss me that night he only implied something. "That could be us." He whispered.

Luke was a major flirt and such a player, that I felt the need to stay away from him, but when he was nice and sweet I wanted to stick around. Lucky enough for me, after almost a year of sneaking around, he asked Cal permission to date me and here I am. Walking up the stairs to meet him and I am still getting all excited.

"Lucas." I whispered to the door. Within moments the door swung open and I was pulled inside. I've always loved his room. His guitars were neat in the corner, his clothes laying around everywhere and band posters hanging in random places. I loved it because I always felt the need to have my room clean and his felt like a breath of fresh air.

"God, I missed you." He smiled and threw me on his bed. His strong arms pinned me down as his mouth attacked mine. I closed my eyes and let our kissing take over my body. "I miss your lips." He said and kissed my lips. "I miss your nose." He kissed the tip of my nose. "I miss your eyes," he kissed my forehead and pulled away. I smiled at my boyfriend. Truth is, I missed his eyes much more than he probably missed mine.

"You're such a dork. I didn't miss you one bit, you loser." I laughed. Luke pouted and rolled onto his back so now we were laying shoulder to shoulder.

"I did miss you, though. Everyone kept asking 'What? Did he finally leave you?' 'He finally got in your pants and then he left.' It is quite annoying." I said in all seriousness.

"You don't tell me about this stuff, Lexa! Why don't you tell me?" He eyed me worriedly. I shrugged and continued to stare at the ceiling.

"You have much better stuff to worry about than some petty stuff people are saying back in high school." I told him. He took my chin in his hands and forced me to look at him.

"Nothing is more important than you. I'd spend a lifetime worried about you and I'd be happy. If these people are hurting you, let me know and I will kick their asses." He told me. I smiled at him and planted a quick kiss on his lips.

"You're cute, Hemmings." I said.

"You're beautiful, Hood." He responded. Just as he was leaning in for a kiss a sharp knock at the door startled the both of us.

"Lucifer! I swear if you are trying anything with my sister I will bust your balls with my bare hands!" I heard Calum yell. I groaned and jogged over to the door.

"I'm still a virgin, Cal." I rolled my eyes and pushed passed him. Sometimes I find it annoying dating my brother's friend. Just for this reason, but it's worth it.

"I tried stopping him." Madison told me. I gave her a light smile and shrugged.

"There isn't stopping the Mighty Calum when he thinks I am having sex." I joked. She laughed and looped her arms around mine.

"So is this a Disney kinda night?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me. A smile broke out on my face and I nodded.

"When is it not? We have to stop by the store. Its also a chocolate kinda night." I told her.

"Sounds like a plan." She said. Calum came jogging down the stairs and Luke followed along. Ashton gave me a weak smile before pulling Madison into his grasp.

"Lexa!" Cal called to me. I raised my eyebrows at him and he opened his arms to me. I sighed and gave into my brother, accepting his hug.

"I'm sorry, Lexa, but you're my baby sister. You have to understand." He whispered.

"Its okay, Monkey Face, I still love you." I whispered back.

"Its getting dark and mom just texted me. We should start heading home." Michael announced. We all agreed and started for  the front door. Luke slipped his hand in mine and led me out.

"Calum is a nut." Luke told me, causing me to laugh.

"When isn't he?" I asked playfully as I watched them pile into my car. The sun was in fact going down and it was dark. "I guess I should go."

"Yeah," he gave me a sweet kiss, "I love you, short stuff." He winked.

"I love you too, skyscraper." I said. I turned to leave, but Luke pulled me back. His eyes grew a dull shade of blue. His jaw tensed.

"Please be careful okay? Stay safe." He said. I felt my heart skip a beat and my nerves return.

"Of course. I will. See ya." I tried smiling.

"Later."
