Crossing The Line

#Bekky's pov#

It was a start of a brand new day. It was like I woke up with a clean slate this morning. You know, clean slate to hell of course. I mean what am I supposed to say? How could I be such an idiot! I know I have apologized with sincerity a thousand times but I could still feel and see the disappointment.

''Hey, you think you could come to the Hilltop residents with us? We are bargaining and thought you would like to come check it out for yourself, seeing you are in fact apart of the team'' Andrew says walking through the door with his holster on with his weapons attached. I look up to him confused.

''Apart of the team?" I wonder. They were considering of having another teen on the team amongst them all? I want to really, in fact, I think this is great.

''Yeah, your apart of this team now, time to start pulling your weight"Andrew says with a smirk. I smirk back and nod before giggling to myself.

''Dad?'' I hear HIS voice boom from the doorway. Since when did he start to call him dad? I give Andrew a confused look, he shakes his head to me meaning he will discuss it later before walking over to his 'son'.

''Yeah... I was just about to get you, Look I was going to tell you but it just happened'' Andrew explains. Now this sparks my curiosity, none of my business but doesn't stop me from being curious.

''Don't you think we should at least talk about this in confidence?" he asks obviously referring to me being in the same room. Ouch. I am not some kind of damn snake Chandler. He was absolutely gorgeous though, in his grey t shirt underneath his flannel along with baggy jeans, the look just suits him so well. In fact he could wear a sack and still look absolutely hot to me. I had to pry my eyes off him eventually, he noticed and it was getting to painful to continue this game, the part where I am hopelessly in love with him and he doesn't even know I exist, well he does but that's not the point.

''I already know'' I decided to speak up. My voice was slightly hoarse, you know, the kind where you were the verge on tears?

''Bekky, uhh-'' Andrew starts, turning to face me before I interrupt him.

''You and Danai, in fact it is kind of cute'' I say with a sheepish smile on my face. It was indeed, like I said none of my business but they are what each other need. There is no harm in that. He turns around to face Chandler again while shaking his head.

''I have an idea!" he celebrates as he walks over to stand next to me, me however was casually leaning against the door frame.

''Wait you and Danai are a thing?" Chandler asks as Andrew ignores him.

''You guys stay here while we head to the Hilltops, besides we need strong people behind to help defend this camp, I promise next time you can come with us Bekky'' Andrew says aloud, whispering the last part to me. I gasp as does Chandler, though his was more of a groan of annoyance.

''No please Andrew-''

''Dad'' Chandler finishes for me.

''No buts, besides you guys need to learn to get along, and Chandler?'' Andrew says to both of us before turning to face Chandler, waiting for an answer. He just responds with a 'hmm'. Andrew faces me and sees the pain on my face. He licks his lips before facing Chandler once again.

''Try to be nice'' He says just before he heads for the front door. He glances back at us one last time before shutting the door closed shut behind him. Then it was two... A very awkward two.

The silence was killing me. More than the fact we were standing in the same room for longer than a minute. He wasn't able to look me in the eyes, I decide to stop trying after a few seconds. Was it even worth it anymore? I am however nothing to him now. I need to get a distraction, anything but the gorgeous blue eyes boy standing in front of me, oh how much strength and self will it took not to race up to him and embrace him, kiss his soft, plump lips and to just cry with joy. Awkward. So awkward. Why does it have to be like this?

''Listen here bi-'' he begins, I know where he was going with that sentence. I couldn't let him stand there and insult me. I just couldn't.

''Don't'' I speak up, my voice barely above a whisper, my arms were now crossed over my chest, I was still starring at the ground. I hear one of his feet move and he begins to laugh.

''You were more than happy to take me on before'' He states with disbelief. This when I chose to finally look up and meet his eyes. Bad mistakes. It was like all my self esteem has just slipped away, well, whatever was left of mine. My eyes were getting wet.

''Happy?" I ask. The first tear rolled down my cheek.

''Why is everyone like this?"' He shouts.

''Keep your voice down, Judith is up stairs-'' I begin pleading.

''Judith? Has life really moved on so far?'' He asks in disbelief. I shrug, not really wanting to piss him off any further.

''Not two weeks ago did I think any of these people exist, or Judith? My very own sister? My mother? To wake finding that she was indeed dead? My friends? All gone? FUCKING HELL!'' He screams. Why was he saying this??!?! Why to me!?!?

''Why me?!?!" It was my turn to scream, of course through the tears.

''What?!? What the fuck does this have to do with you?!?'' He shouts now moving closer to me. I back against the wall on instinct. Was he going to hurt me? Hit me? The thought scared the hell out of me. He wouldn't, would he? I was at a lost for words. What does this have to do with me? In fact why did I say anything in the first place?

''I am living with a bunch of fucking strangers who i don't even know, people who I am supposed to protect like they are my own? How the fuck do I do that?" He shouts, slowly making his way closer and closer to me.

''I don't know'' I whisper, looking at the ground again, my muddy and dirty shoes loosing their touch with old age.

''Why am I even talking to you?" He asks himself, shaking his head, I could tell because I decided to look up.

''You don't remember anything?" I ask, trying to desperately to spark anything within him.

''Have you not been listening to my'' He trails off when I stop listening. He was so close to me. He was barely inches away. I could just reach out and touch him. Hold his head between my hands. Feel his soft skin underneath my fingertips. Feel his soft lips beneath my own, moving in perfect sync. Feel the way his hands were attached to my sides, holding me from dropping to my knees. I was melting under his gaze. His blue eyes were tinted with anger, concentration, like they were determined. They held sadness as well, hurt and pain. I shook my head letting more tears escape. Well there was only one eye I could stare into, I just found it incredibly hot. For some reason him wearing a bandage over one eye could be my undoing. Why the fuck am I getting turned on when he so flipping pissed at me?

"Are you even listening who-'' My lips put a silence to his words. I placed my hands on either side of his face, cupping his cheeks. I glided my fingers over them as I tried to deepen the simple kiss. They were more chapped but still so soft against mine. My heart exploded at the touch. The tingles were running all over my body. I was on fire. This was amazing. Till he pushed me away forcefully.

What the hell did I just do? Why the fuck would I do that? Was I even thinking??

SLAP

I turned my face to the side and held my now stinging, red cheek. And just like that, I felt everything in my body that was alive for two seconds, just seeped back into despair.

''Get the fuck out'' He commands. All I could do was nod and scamper over to the door. I quickly open and slam the door shut behind me.

I knew there was a line, and damn I just fucking crossed it.
