The Bad Boy Returns

Chapter 6: On a Dark and Stormy Night...

KAT'S POV

On a dark and stormy night ....I was an idiot.

After spending all day being harassed by Brit, I ended up embarrassing myself in front of the entire class thanks to the She-devil.
On top of that I'm walking or at least attempting to walk home in a big thunder storm after I waited hours at school for my father, who never showed you.
Also of course I don't have a phone anymore because Shane thought it would be funny to glue it to the inside of my locker two days before.
So now I'm walking, soaking wet with cuts all over me after I tripped at least 15 times on my way home.

I reach near the neighborhood by my house when I fall again hitting my head reopening my former cut on my forehead, which had finally healed.

I stop in front of Shane's house and sigh. Of all the houses to fall in front of it had to be this one. By this point I have no other choice. I'm bloody, wet and pissed off. I stand there contemplating if that's a good idea but then I feel the blood running down my face..again. The crispy wind threatens to knock me over for a sixteenth time today.
I knock on the door hoping someone's home. I try to pry my soaking hair away from my face as I wait for the door to open.
To my luck Shane's mom, Cassandra opens the door.
"Kat! oh my god! What are you doing out like this.? Are you ok? What happened?!"she pulls me in to the house. Over the weeks she's been more of a mom than my own. Our families have always been close, even though my mother couldn't stand Shane.
"Who the hell is here this late at night?" Shane yells walking down the stairs in only pajama pants revealing his bare chest and tattooed arms. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a sight to see.
"Oh kitty!" his anger evaporates.
"What the hell happened to you?!" His eyes widen and he actually looks concerned.
"I-I had to walk home because my dad forgot to pick me up and I fell."I say shivering. He tries to hide a smile but then looks concerned.
"Why didn't you call me?" he scrunches his forehead.
Oh that asshole.

"Maybe if you didn't break my phone I would have." I shoot at him.
His face scrunches in guilt.
"Ops sorry." I roll my eyes at him. Cassandra fake coughs letting us know
that she is still here. She pulls my wet jacket off, throwing it in a bin.
"You should rinse off." She pauses."Shane help her get upstairs." He grabs my waist and pulls me to the stairs.I wince at the soreness of my body. He loosens his grip and leads me upstairs to his room. He releases me and heads to a cupboard to grab a towel before showing me the shower.
"Here's everything. I'll lay out some dry clothes." he says, scratching the back of his neck as I nod. I'll never get used to nice Shane. He walks to the door leaving me to take my shower.

"Hey, Shane?" I call after him quickly.
He stops in front of his door frame.
"Yeah?" he turns around.
"Thanks." I say shyly.
"Anytime sweet cheeks." he says, walking away.I laugh going back to the bathroom. I struggle out of my sticky clothes and jump in the shower as fast as I can. I instantly start to scrub the mud off of my body.

--Shane's POV---

"What is going on with her father?" my mother rants. "I mean forgetting your own daughter really.?! How could he leave her to walk this late...and with this weather?!"
My mom has never been a big fan of Kat's dad ever since he started drinking. She doesn't think he's a fit parent. I only get along with him because of our mutual love for boxing.
"Mom calm down. she'll be fine." I say calmly but seeing Kat all cut like that really worried me- though I'd never admit that.

I hear the front door open and see Alex walk through.
Perfect.
Everybody here comes golden boy. Bow down.

Not.

"Where have you been? It's not safe to drive in that weather." my mom-Alex's step mom, starts.
"Sorry I was with Brit." he excuses. I roll my eyes at the mention of her.
He goes into the kitchen without another word just as I hear the shower stop. This should be great, having Alex and Kat in the same vicinity.

KAT'S POV

I get out and wrap a towel around me, going into Shane's room. I scrubbed off as much gunk as I could before My skin started becoming raw and red. As promised I find a pair of Shane's clothes splayed out on his bed.
A pair of sweat pants and a over sized sweatshirt.

I start drying my hair with the towel when the door opens without warning.
"Thanks for knocking." I glare.
"It's my room I don't have to." Shane counters.
"What if I was getting dressed or something?"
He doesn't say anything but just wiggles his eye brows.
I roll my eyes as he leads me downstairs. We come to a halt as Alex stops in front of us looking confused.

Yay.

"Kat what are you doing here?" he asks, accusingly.
"She got in a little trouble, nothing to worry about brother. I'm taking care of her." Shane slings his arm over my shoulder and Alex tenses.
"That's reassuring." Alex says pissed.
Why is he mad?
"Well sorry to cut this short but I got to drive her home." he pats Alex's shoulder sarcastically, pulling me to the door.
"Um no you won't ." We turn to see Cassandra giving her infamous mom stare.
"What do you mean?" Shane turns around looking at his mom.
"You two are not going driving in this weather, no way." she continues.
"Kat you'll just have to stay the night I'll call your dad and tell him." she says grabbing the phone.

Oh sleepover at the Winter's house, so exciting.

"Ohh sleep over! yay!" Shane jokes jumping around. I try to hold in my laughter.
"So you wanna watch a movie?" Cassandra asks all of us. Shane and I say sure and Alex hesitantly agrees.
"Scary movie!" Shane yells picking out a horror.
My eyes widen. not again.
He sees me and grins evilly.
We all sit on the couch me next to Shane and Alex with Cassandra next to Alex.

Me In between the winter brothers, not awkward at all.

As the movie starts I turn to look at Shane and he has his arm out. This time I hold his hand without hesitation because this movie is worse the the last. As I practically grope Shane's arm Alex glares at us but I'm too focused on hiding under the blanket when something pops out. I whimper lifting the blanket higher and Shane grins at my afraid-ness.

Out of nowhere all the lights burn out. Blackout. Just like the movie.
I freeze in my spot.
"Boo." I hear from behind me and I jump, this time into Shane's lap as he laughs. I feel his bare chest against my back making me shiver.
I hit his chest. "Don't do that!" I hit him again as he keeps laughing.
"Ok it's fine. Well just have to head up to bed, if we can find our way there." Cassandra says.
Hands lift me up to stand.
"Ok be careful getting up the stairs." his mom says.
Shane holds my waist so he doesn't lose me and starts walking. We reach the bottom of the stairs, Shane yelling profanities every time he bumps into something.
W step up the stairs and I trip backwards causing Shane to death grip my stomach so he doesn't fall down he stairs.
"Dammit kitty! now is not the time for your clumsiness." he says but I can't breath due to him restricting me. We eventually make it up the stairs with minor injuries an find his room.
"Ok we made it out alive." he says trying to find his bed. He pulls me to the bed.
"Get in." he pulls my arm.
"I can just sleep on the couch." I say not wanting to sleep in the bed with him.
"First of all you are scared to hell right now and second you won't even be able to find the couch in this room." He has a point and I do want to be in a bed, well mine but this will work too.
"Ok but you touch me and you won't live to see tomorrow." I say.
"What fun is that." he says but sighs as I hit him. "Fine I promise I won't touch you." he jokes.
I get in on the left side and he sleeps on the right, leaving space in between.
I snuggle into the sheet, feeling the silky cloth against my skin.
Sleep takes over and I eventually fall into a long deep sleep.
