Chapter Four: Dangerous

Chapter 4

I lay on the couch, my bad ankle propped up on Rebecca's lap. Matt and Sadie were making out on the floor.

"PDA folks," I say as Sadie starts to lift Matt's shirt. They unlock faces and look towards me. I roll my eyes and toss Matt a condom that I had in my wallet.

"Use it wisely, young padawan," I say. Matt quickly jumps up and grabs Sadie, running to Sadie's room and shutting the door behind them. Rebecca turns to me.

"You're such a dick, Hughes," she says. I laugh.

"Well I definitely know I have one," I say. She rolls her eyes at me and turns towards the TV as we hear something crash in Sadie's room.

"DAMNIT MATT!" Sadie yells. Rebecca and I start laughing hysterically. I put my bad leg down and grab my crutches.

"What time is it?" I ask Rebecca. She glances at her phone.

"8:20, why?" she says.

"Shit! I have to record something tonight!" I exclaim loudly. In attempts to get Matt, I fell over one of the bottom parts of my crutch. I faceplanted into a pillow. Rebecca flipped me over so she was on top of me. She leaned down and kissed me.

It wasn't a quick peck either. It was a full on make-out. She had her hands on my face as my arms snaked around her torso. She stopped kissing me and looked at me. I brushed her hair out of her face.

"Now you can go get Matt," she says. I nod as she gets off me and stands up, giving me her good hand to pull me up. I grab my crutches and start heading to Sadie's room.

"Cover yourselfs up I'm kicking the door in!" I yell as I bust through the door. Matt stood there with his pants on still with a killed... well I think you get what was killed in that room. I laugh at him.

"Get on a shirt Matt, you need to bring me home. Woof and I need to record," I say. Matt groans.

"We didn't get that far though!" he whined. I laugh at him.

"Donz care, let go!" I say, crutching out of the room. When I get out of the room, Matt closes it behind me and locks the door. I turn around and stare at the door.

"MATT," I whine.

"HOLD ON!" he says. I chuckle and crutch back towards the couch.

"I'm guessing they want to finish?" Rebecca asked. I nodded.

"Thankfully, Matt was the only one half naked. That I can live with," I say. Rebecca laughs. I sit on couch close to Rebecca. She faces me, climbing onto my lap and locking her lips with mine. She pushes me down on the couch as Sadie's screams can be heard through the thin walls of the house. Rebecca smiles into the kiss, as do I.

"You're incredible," I say. She bites her lip and tucks her hair behind her ear as she looks away from me. I prop myself up on my elbows.

"What's wrong?" I ask. She shakes her head, still looking away from me and still biting her lip. I put my hand on her cheek and push her face my way. I untuck her lip from in between her teeth and kiss her. It wasn't the hard kisses we've been doing. It was soft and tentative. She pulls away and gets off me, walking to her room, holding her forearm. I sit up fully and sit there awkwardly, touching my lip.

"So," a voice says from the corner of the room, "you like Rebecca?"

"Who are you?" I asked the shadows.

"Rebecca's boyfriend," the figure says, stepping out of the corner and into the light. What the hell was Dakota doing in Canada?

"Dakota?!" I say. Matt pokes his face out the door. Dakota starts walking my way.

"If you were smart, Mitch, you'd stay as far away from her as possible," Dakota says. Matt emerges fully clothed out if the bedroom.

"Look Dakota, we don't care how you got here but leave Mitch alone. He had no idea that-" Matt was cut off by Dakota upper cutting him in the diaphragm. Matt groan and falls to the ground, holding his stomach.

"Dammit Kermit!" Matt yells, still holding his stomach. Rebecca and Sadie both come from their rooms.

"What the hell?!" Sadie says, helping her boyfriend off the floor. Rebecca hides behind a wall slightly. I nod at her as she gets into a fighting position.

"Dakota," she says firmly. Kermit turns.

"The fu-" he gets cut off by Rebecca kicking him the jaw. He stumbles backwards as I stand, grabbing my crutches. I stepped foreword a bit before hitting him smack in the back of the head.

"Goddamn you, Mitch!" he yells. He tries to stand but falls back to the ground.

"Get out of my house!" Rebecca yells. Kermit tries to scramble to his feet, but he trips over his steps as he runs to the door. Rebecca runs over to me and checks my face for any sign of him hurting me.

"I'm not the one you should be looking at, it's Matt who was hurt most," I say. Rebecca turns towards him, looking at Matt's mangled body. He started throwing up in the trash can by the door.

"Ouch," Rebecca said, holding onto me with her bad hand. I'm so glad I met her.

"Your foot okay?" I ask. She nods and presses her lips to my cheek.

"Both of you should go to your homes. I need to get things sorted with Dakota," Rebecca says. Matt and I both nod as Sadie rubs his back slowly. I ask Sadie to bring Matt home and I would take Matt's car. She agrees and Matt tosses me the keys to his car.

This should be fun, driving with one good foot I mean. I start to the car and get in slowly. I turn the ignition on and pull out of the driveway. I step on the gas with my bad foot, wincing in pain. I get to my house safely. I turn off the car, knowing either Matt or Sadie will be by to get it later.

I slowly walk into my house.

Next thing I smell is smoke.

Next thing I hear is gunshots and laughter.

Next thing I see is black.
