Twists and Turns

Chapter 12

"Oh my god.. Oh my god.. Oh my god." I kept repeating in a whisper over and over again. I was scared beyond belief. The only thing running through my mind was I was going to die.

"What do you want?" Carter said in a dangerous tone. Did he know this person?

The guy stepped into the light and started walking slowly towards us. He was a very tall, muscular guy. He kinda of waddled when he walked. He was like a penguin.

"I want your little arm candy here." the guy said in a extremely creepy voice. He was only meters from us now.

"Shes not arm candy." Carter spat back. Did he think pissing this guy off was going to help us?!

I put my hand in my pocket and hoped to hit the right number to speed dial my brother. I heard the hopeful sound of ringing.

"Either way. I want her. More than that I want her dead." He said looking right at me as he said it. My mouth just hung open. I didn't know this guy and he wanted me dead? I hope Aiden answered his phone and was hearing this.

"I.. I.. I don't even know you..." I stuttered in a barely audible whisper. I heard breathing coming from my pocket, that meant Aiden picked up. 

"But I know who you are. So does your pretty little boyfriend here." He said nodding his head in Carter direction. I looked over at Carter, his face had gone pale.. Not that mind hadn't.

"I don't really know him... Just met him in the hall once or twice at school....." Carter said not looking at me still, just giving this guy a death glare.

"Oh.... So why do you want me dead? And are you really going to do it hear in the daylight, on St. Andrews street?" I said loudly hoping Aiden would catch my drift.

"Well this street looks pretty damn empty to me." The guy said walking even closer to me and Carter. I thought I was going to pee my pants.

I could see the guys face clearly now. He had dark brown eyes, and dark brown hair. He had soft pink lips. If he wasn't a crazy psycho i might even say he was cute.

"Fuck this." He said after there was no reply from me or Carter.

He lunged in my direction with is arms stretched out to grab me. This is when I left into action. I dodged out of his way and skillfully tripped him and jumped onto his back and started punching the crap out of him.

Just as I started beating him up I saw a pair of head lights turn the corner. I recognized the sound of the car. It was Aiden.

He pulled up right beside us. He barely put the car into park before he jumped out and ran towards me. He pulled me off the guy and pushed me to Carter.

Carter got on top of the guy and pulled his head up by the hair.

"What the hell are you doing to my god damn sister?" Aiden growled at the guy.

"Nuffing! She was beaffing the shiff ouff of me!" He said throw a mouth full of blood. I guess i got him pretty good.

"Bullshit." My brother yelled slamming the guys head into the cement.

"I'm not an idiot. My sister called me. I head what you were going to do to her." He snarled back, lifting the guys head again.

"Ofay, ofay. I wasn't acffually going to.. I swear!" the guy replied in a whisper from all the pain he was in. Serves him right!

"You fucking liar. I should beat the shit out of you. But I'm not going to just because I hate jail. You are one lucky bastard." My brother told the guy now crying on the cement.

"You too," My brother barked to me and Carter, "get in the fucking car!" We both acted quickly upon my brothers words and hopped into the back seat.

Once in the car Aiden started in and sped towards home. The ride was silent other than Aidens random outbursts of "FUCK!". He was extremely pissed off. I was silently crying in the back seat. My head resting on Carters chest, his arm around my waist.

We finally reached home. Aiden didn't move, just sat there. All of a sudden he slammed his fist into the steering wheel. yelled fuck once more and stormed out of the vehicle.

I was to shocked to move. Aiden had never been this mad before. I didn't even know what made him so mad.

Carter picked me up bridal style and carried my out of the car, he knew I wasn't getting out on my own. 

He carried me all the way up to my room. I had curled up in his arms and started crying again. 

He set me down on the bed. I quickly grabbed my phone and txted kayla to tell her I wasn't going to the party and not to pick me up.

As I was texting Carter was in my bathroom running me a bath. Bless him.

Once the bath was ready and Carter was settled in my room on my laptop I walked over to him, kissed him on the cheek and slowly walked to the bathroom and climbed into the tub.

After an hour in the bath I got out and slipped on my Pj's  www.polyvore.com/cgi/set, and walked to Aiden's room. The door was closed so i knocked.

"Come on." I heard his voice say. He was calmed down completely and looked almost sympathetic. I went over to him and gave him a hug. Not just any hug, but a squeeze-until-you-cant-breath type of hug.

"Tegon, let go. I can't breath." Aiden said in a whisper since he didn't have much air to spare.

"Sorry I was just happy that you saved me." I said in a small voice. I didn't like being saved, I can take care of myself.

"By the looks of it you really didn't need saving." Aiden said with a smirk, crossing his arms.

"He would have got up eventually, and then I would have needed saving." I said putting my hands on my hips.

"You look funny."Carter said laughing at how i was standing.

"So do you!" I laughed.

"I guess I do. What do you need anyway?" Aiden asked.

"Well some pajamas for Carter.. Is it okay if he stays the night?" I asked sweetly, hoping he would say yes.

"Of course he can stay. But no funny business." Aiden replied seriously, tossing me a pair of pajama pants.

"Okay Aiden." I replied as i walked out of the door.

I walked back to my room to see Carter sitting cross leged(sp?) on my bed, with a goofy grin on his face.

"Um Carter? May I ask what you are doing?" I laughed looking at him. 

"I was waiting for my amazingly amazing girlfriend to come back to her room." He replied getting off his bed and taking to pajamas from my hand.

He walked over to the bathroom and changed. I walked over to my bed and crawled under the sheets. I slowly closed my eyes and started to fall asleep.

I heard the bathroom door open and heard footsteps come towards the bed. I felt Carter crawl under the sheets and wrap his warm arms around me.

I rolled over so i was facing him. I kissed his lips and then curled up to him and rested my head on his chest.

"Carter Josh Stepp I love you more than you will ever know." I whispered sleepily. 

Just before I fell into a deep dreamless sleep I heard him say "I love you too babe, for forever and always."
