Making A Bad Boy

Come Alone

Picture of Leigh's dad to your right :) (John Hamm)

Recap:

I flinched, “I’m sorry, I just didn’t want to leave my friends.” I whispered. Her face softened, “Leigh, you know we have to go, and if you don’t want to leave for yourself, think of Kyle. He’ll just get hurt if we stay here.” She said softly. I shook my head, “We can’t keep running mom, we should stay and fight” she stared at me like I had lost my mind. “Go upstairs and pack Leigh, we’re leaving at sun up.” She turned on her heel and left the kitchen. I sunk onto the floor and for the second time in one night. I cried.

*********

I stood up slowly, my legs unsteady. I gripped the table and used it to support my weight. My mom’s words like a blow to the chest. I couldn’t leave this place. I had never really cared when we had to move, but now I had a reason to stay. Kyle.

Just thinking about leaving him made my heart constrict. But my mom was right, if I cared about him, I wouldn’t want him to get hurt.

I walked passed Carson and Robin who were now sleeping on the couch cuddled up, and walked to my room. I paused by the door and gazed at Kyle’s sleeping form. His dark hair in contrast with my white pillow, I just wanted to run my fingers through it. I sighed, and climbed into bed next to him. He rolled over and peeked one eye open, “Back for more already Desmond?” he said with a smirk.

I scoffed, “Yeah because you were so great” my voice dripped with sarcasm. He laughed, “Yeah yeah yeah, the scratches on my back say a different story.” I gasped, my cheeks flaming a bright red. Thank God the lights were off, he would tease me mercilessly if he caught me blushing.

We joked a while longer, while I pretended like I had no problems. But hearing my mom drag boxes across the hall quickly snapped me back to my awful reality. I pushed Kyle onto his back, and straddled him. I reached over and tuned on the lamp. Kyle’s playful smile quickly changed into an expression of concern, “Were you crying?” he asked softly. I shook my head, “We need to talk”.

He frowned, “Your eyes are puffy and red, so if this “talk” includes an explanation for that, I’m all ears.” I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, “We’re leaving tomorrow morning” I whispered. I opened my eyes slowly. Kyle looked confused, “Ok? When will you be back?” I sighed, “We’re moving away for good Kyle. I told her about my dad and the threats, and now we have to move.”

Tears stung my eyes, I tried to hold them back, but in a matter of seconds they were running down my face and onto Kyle’s naked chest. Kyle pushed me off of him and sat up, my sheets still covering the bottom half of his body. He dropped his face into his hands. I just sat there quietly wondering what I would pack first, and how Robin was going to take it. Well at least she had Carson to get her through it.

My thoughts were interrupted by Kyle abruptly getting up and moving towards his scattered jeans on the floor, his nudity bringing a crimson color to my cheeks. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

“Who are you calling?” I asked. He put up a hand silencing me. “Yeah dad?” he asked as he pulled on his jeans and walked out of the room, “I need your help with something”. He shut the door behind him. I sighed; he was probably asking to move back in seeing as how he couldn’t stay here anymore. I stood up, my body aching from the sex I’d had with Kyle and sitting on the hard kitchen floor. I moved to my closet and took out my suitcase; I began packing it like I had done so many times before, except this time, tears stained my cheeks.

********

I was almost done packing when Kyle burst into the room. I jumped a little. He closed the door behind him, and pulled me onto the bed to sit. “I think I may have fixed things” he said carefully. My hands shook at his words. I hoped to hell that he had not gotten involved; it would just make matters worse.

“What are you talking about?” I asked wearily. He held both of my hands in his, “I called my dad and he’s looking into it. He says you guys shouldn’t move yet. He’s looking into a restraining order” he said happily. I snatched my hands from his. Oh no, my dad was going to know I went to the police. My breathing started coming out harsh. He was going to hurt Kyle. I sat on the floor and held my head.

“Why couldn’t you just let me go? Now you’re in danger. You don’t know him ok? He’s not stable.” Kyle rushed forward, “Why would I let you go so easily? I had to try something Leigh. Trust me okay, he is not going to hurt me, I promise” He pulled me into his lap and kissed my forehead, “I promise” he repeated.

After five minutes of just holding each other, Kyle picked me up and put on the bed, he got in right next to me and pulled me close. I snuggled into him and tried to forget about the hell tomorrow would be.

********

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I yawned and glanced at the clock; 3;06. Really?! I sighed and got out of bed, leaving Kyle’s warm embrace. I picked my phone up off the dresser and looked at the caller ID. Restricted. I sucked in a sharp  breath; my hands shook as I pressed “Accept”.

“Hello” I whispered. “Leigh you’ve done a bad thing. All I wanted to do was be with you and your mother. I just wanted to show you I changed. Is it so wrong to want a second chance?” his deep voice asked. I shuddered, “I’m sorry but it’s over now. Just leave us alone, as of tomorrow, you’ll never find us again.” I said with more courage than I felt.

He laughed making my gut twist, “Oh Leigh, would you seriously abandon your little friend? Did you not believe me when I said I would harm them?” My brows furrowed in confusion. I turned around and saw Kyle safe and sleeping soundly. I wanted so bad to just climb back into bed with him. It was our last night together after all.

“What are you talking about old man?” I said feeling braver now that I knew Kyle was safe from this lunatic. “I’m talking about your little friend from the movies.” I was just about to ask what the hell he was talking about when it all clicked. The picture he sent me was not just the back of me and Kyle’s head at the movies; it was Hannah’s head too. I gasped, “Let her go” I ground out.

He laughed, “Come and get her. Come alone, I’m at the old motel. Any sign that you come with company, I kill her. I find out you’ve told your mother, I kill her. Call the police, and I will find out if you do Leigh, I once again, will kill her. See you in a bit sweetheart.” The call disconnected.

I pulled on my jeans quietly and pulled on one of Kyle’s hoodies. Just a couple of days ago I would’ve yelled at him for wearing something with the star wars logo on it. Now I walked out the door feeling comfort in wearing something that was his. His scent overwhelmed me putting my nerves at ease as I crept out the front door trying not to wake Carson and Robin.

I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I didn’t even like Hannah. Leaving her there crossed my mind seventeen times as I unlocked my car, but I knew deep down this was my fault. I shouldn’t have gone to that party, or talked to the cops. Now an innocent girl, who happened to be a total bitch, was paying for it.

I put Kyle’s car into reverse, and backed out of the driveway. He was practically in love with me, so taking his car was okay right? I sped to the old motel Kyle had first taken me too. How fitting that I was going to rescue his ex-girlfriend from the place where I had first fallen for him.

I pulled into the old parking lot and shoved my phone and Kyle’s car keys into my pocket. I jogged up the stairs to the second floor seeing as how the first floor looked impossible to even break into. I searched the whole floor and came up empty. I made my way to the third floor. I was about to open the first door when it was pulled open. I was yanked into the dark room and shoved into a wall, my head connecting with it hard.

A blurry figure moved towards me. My vision was blurring and I swear I saw two of them as I lost consciousness. My last thought as I faded to the black was, “Please don’t let Kyle try to play the hero.”
