Closest

Chapter 4 (Picture of Alex)

I was standing in the hallway. I promised Rob to bring Maddison safe home. He said he couldn’t think clearly about anything if he knows that his “freak” (how he called Wilson) is still somewhere in the near of her or me. Well he was showing his mortal surviving instinct which let me wonder. What if somebody kidnaps Maddison and threaten to kill her if Rob does not do what somebody wants him to do? Bad things could happen. Really bad things if people kidnap her. They could bring Rob to do possibly everything just that they don’t harm Maddison. Maddison is not strong. Neither can she protect herself. Rob begged her to do a self defense course downtown that she could protect her at least a bit, but all in all she is human. Weak, powerless, easy to get.

I also brought Antonia home, Maddison´s friend. She was completely shocked how everything went at the diner. She had not the slightest clue about the werewolves in the town, so she thought Rob was some cruel douche with an anger problem. I talked to her and convinced her otherwise. Rob was a friendly, strong, protective brother and friend. Which was true by the way.

Maddison was shocked and was shaking so I brought her upstairs, in Rob´s and her bedroom. I was slightly impressed but not as much as I would be if I would have not seen my room first. I convinced her to sleep and that I would wake her up when Rob was there and she believed me and fell into a deep sleep.

Another problem gone.

So I walked down the stairs into the kitchen and took a coke out of the refrigerator. I walked back to the living room where I heard a few people talking.

I saw David, Chad, Will, Clark and Alex chatting relaxed on the couches in front of the fireplace. Don’t judge me, even when it’s August, it´s not warm in Washington.

“Hey Amy” David greeted me nicely. I smiled at him and took a seat next to Alex.

“What happened to Maddison and where is Rob?” Chad asked confused and looked around.

 “Weren´t you guys together?” Clark asked confused.

“We were” I looked out of the window. “But we got attacked in the diner and well … Rob flipped out and he said I should bring Maddison home.”

“Whoa he must be pissed off.” Will said and raised his brows. “He was” I confirmed.

“What happened? Rob could get a prize for his calmness and his self control. He wouldn’t flip out easy like that.” Alex said and looked at me worriedly.

“Well we were finished eating and about to go but Rob saw Maddison in the diner and suddenly she was kissed by some guy…” I looked at them.

“I can understand him, if someone would kiss my mate, he would be dead before he could say apple pie.” Will said. I looked at him for a second longer.

“But she couldn’t push him away, so Rob got in, pushed him away, send a few punches in his direction and calmed down after he and Maddison hugged.” I looked at Alex.

“That was all?” David asked stunned.

“Not at all.” I looked to the ground. “Now is the part where I am involved. “ I saw Alex next to me, clenching his jaw and his fists.

“Well… I went to him and asked him out but he hugged me and nearly kissed me and then it was over with Rob´s kindness and that douche was still lying on the ground with a broken nose and bruises all over him at the time I left with Maddison and Antonia.”

“Are you alright?” David asked me worried.

“I am fine” I looked at him and started to smile widely. “I was the one breaking his nose so I couldn’t feel any better.” I heard the guys laugh and responding things like “That’s our good old Amy” or “I always adored her skills” I laughed at them and looked at Alex. He was nodding his head and laughed.
