Problems (Sequel To Bad Blood)

The Call

I sat on the couch next to Thomas, Dylan and Ava sat across from us.
"What did he say exactly?" Dylan asked .
"I-I dont remember exactly, but he said he wasn't going to mess around this time. He was going to kill us all."
"Why warn us then?"
"Because he is a sick twisted bastard that's why...." Thomas said, holding my hand. "But he's also a wimp, we could take him out easily."
"I dont know," Ava said. "I dealt with him for 8 years.... I think we need back up," she spoke nervously.
"We aren't letting him get anyehere near you Ava. If he comes even close to you, I will kick the holy living hell out if him..." she smiled slightly, looking down.
"Maybe we should call in someone... at least Grant. Nick was hard enough to get rid of the first time..."
"Obviously we never really got rid of him..." I said quietly. No one said anything for a minute. I looked out the window and sighed. It had been 3 years without all of this shit.
"I'll call Grant and see if he can come," Thomas said standing up and pulling out his phone, he walked out of the room. I continued to stare at the floor. Dylan came over and sat next to me.
"It's going to be fine. You know that right?"
"Yeah... I know... I just thought it was over..."
"So did I... but its going to be fine."
"I know, I know..." I glanced up at the clock. It was nearly midnight. "I-I've had a long day... I need to get some sleep..."
"Yeah, ok. I'll come over tomorrow after work." The two of them stood up.
"I don't work tomorrow, I'll come over while Thomas is at work and keep you company," Ava said.
"Okay. Bye guys."
"Bye." The two of them walked out together. I stood up and walked back to the bedroom, where Thomas stood looking out the window.
"Ok, talk to you later," he said hanging up. He turned and looked at me.
"Is he coming?"
"Yeah, and it sounds like he's bringing Will with him too." I sighed in relief. The more people we had here to fight the easier that asshole Nick would go down.
Thomas came over to me and hugged me tightly, kissing me on the top of my head.
"I'm not letting him near you ever again... I promise."
"I know... I love you."
"I love you too... now get some sleep, you've had an incredibly long day." I nodded and started getting ready for bed.
I went over and lay down next to Thomas, laying on my side to face him. He looked over at me and shifted to face me on his side. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me.
"Are you scared?" He asked.
"I was... but I don't have to be."
"What'd ya mean?"
"I have you... and you'll always protect me... I know that." He smiled and kissed me. "Goodnight, Thomas."
"Goodnight."
