Dangerous (Isac Elliot)

Chapter 12

"I'm sorry Ashley." His finger squeezed down on the trigger...

I squeezed my eye shut tight waiting for the bullet to impel me. Was this really it? Was this how it was all going to end?

I waited and waited...

But I felt nothing impel me...

I opened my eyes and saw Isac had ducked down; the bullet had bounced off the wall behind me and impelled into Mikey's knee. He groaned in pain and grabbed his knee which was smeared with blood oozing out!

Isac legged it over to me and untied the rope, grabbing my hand and running out as quick as possible. What just happened? Everything flashed before my eyes...

"B-but you... Bang... Him. What?" I stuttered still in shock as he dragged me along, holding my hand tightly.
"You thought I was actually going to shoot you?" He stared at me, slowing down his running pace.
"Yes. It was the most frightening experience of my life." I stared back at him, our eyes not losing contact from r a long time.
"I would never do that." His eyes dropped to the ground quickly and stopped running. I lifted his chin up and moved his head to face me. I noticed his cheeks glow a vibrant red and smiled. He jolted his head back and dropped his eyes down to his feet again. I leaned up and kissed his cheek quickly, as my way of saying 'thank you'. He moved his head and stared at me again.

"Come on we better get you home. Everyone's been worried sick about you." We started strolling  until we reached my house. He knocked on the door and a few seconds later my mum answered.
"Oh thank god you're okay." Mum embraced me into a tight hug. I would have hugged her back but Isac was still holding my hand... Awkward...

She pulled away and shot her eyes down at our interlocked fingers, smiling. I pulled my hand away from his quickly and walked in without a sound.
He turned away but I grabbed his arm and pulled him into a tight hug. My head rested on his toned chest and I felt his heart rate increasing every second!

He wrapped his arms around my shoulders like snakes and rested his chin on top of my head. It felt perfect... How can someone so dangerous make me feel so safe?

"Thank you for saving me and not shooting me." I closed my eyes listening to harmony of his heart beat. He chuckled lightly and rubbed my back lightly with his hand.
"No problem." His voice was soft, but I sensed him smirk. I 'accidentally' elbowed his stomach making him pull away.

"Ow hey." He placed his and on his stomach and I pulled a face at him.

"Oops sorry, I felt your big ego was shining through again." He chuckled at me and snaked his arms around my shoulders again, smiling down. My arms fell loosely around his waist as his head rested on top of mine again. I think we stayed hugging each other for a few minutes. Until...

"Uh hum." I heard and slowly pulled away from Isac to see my mum stood in the doorway, with her hand on her hips.

"Uh yeah." I cleared my throat. "See you." I waved to Isac and he nodded walking back to his house. I ambled inside and my mum stared at me weirdly.

"So is that your boyfriend?" She asked me.

"No." I sternly replied.

"But you both like each other." She squinted her eyes at me and smirked.

"No we don't mum. Oh my god." I denied, stomping elegantly up the stairs. I liked him, but I didn't know if he liked me back... Probably not. "Yeah, yeah. I'm just glad you're safe." She yelled up the stairs.

*skip to the next day*

Mum said I could have the day off school today because of everything that's happened. - That's an advantage - It still bewildered me of why Mikey kidnapped me. Was he trying to get to Isac? Why do they hate each so much?

I lay in bed watching various films, since I had nothing to do. My hair was in a messy bun and I had no make up on because what's the point? I'm not seeing anyone and no ones going to see me.
*a few hours later*
I turned my TV off and just lay in bed since I was bored of the films and I was tired. I heard a faint knock at the door and then footsteps plodding up to my bed.

"I'm fine mum." I said with my back to her.
"Actually it's me." I heard Isac's voice as he sat on the edge of my bed.
"Oh shit Isac." I quickly jumped up and raced out to the bathroom. I looked like shit... I didn't want him to see me like this.
"Ash." He ran after me but the door slammed in his face before he could reach me.
"Ash come on."
"No. I look like shit." I in tangled my hair from the messy bun and grabbed my hair brush.
"I don't care what you look like. I came to check you were okay." I heard his voice as the door flew open. I dropped the hair brush as his sudden burst in made me jump. Sighing I bent down to grab the brush but Isac did too and the skin of our hands came in contact. Our heads jerked up as we stared into each other's eyes. Isac slowly moved his head closer but I stared down and I removed my hand from his, pacing back to my room.
"Uh. How are you?" His voice was shaky as he entered my room.
"Fine."
"Truthfully." He answers back. He saw right through my lies. He sat behind me on my bed, my back was towards him.
"Confused. Scared. Worried. Annoyed. Vulnerable." I didn't turn to look at him, I just crossed my arms across my chest as he moved my hair behind my ears, gathering all of it in his giant paws!
"You're wondering why he kidnapped you?" I nodded at him. I felt the weight on the bed move as he crawled up on his knees. He started to French plait my hair, gathering loose pieces of my hair  between his finger tips. I felt my heart start to palpitate with each movement of his hands!
"He wanted to get to me because of what happened last year with that new girl... She... was his sister."

"You keep going on about her but I don't know her." I replied in a jealous tone. He stopped for a second.
"It's a long and boring story." I felt his gaze on me so I stayed completely still, he was like a predator that was about to bounce on me as I was his prey!
"How do I fit in to this?"
"Because he wanted to get to me through you.." He grabbed my hair band and tied the bottom of my hair up.
"Okay. That still doesn't answer anything." My voice more quiet as I turned around to him. He lay back on my bed, staring up at the ceiling like he was contemplating deeply! Without realising I lay beside him and he eyes fell upon me. He rolled over so he was facing me. I felt him edging closer to me and he wrapped his arm around me, closing his eyes. My head was buried in his chest.
"He took the one thing I care about the most." His voice was soft and gentle. My heart was beating at the speed of light and my stomach felt like it was about to explode!
We stayed like that (spooning) for a long time and it was perfect.

Isac has never been this nice to me...

He... Actually cares about me...
