The purge // ROWLANDS

7:56pm*

"I feel like somebody's watching me "
******************
We all turned around, you could practically feel the panick in the air. It was thick, it made me hold my breath.
No one was there.
We decided to cut off down a side walk. I noticed how Hunters hands were never close to him. They were always quite close to the person who was closest to him. Everytime we walked, our hands would brush together. It made me warm, I don't know why. I've never felt that 'spark' that everyone goes on about, just warmth. It's nice.
I wonder what it would feel like to hold his hand. Would the warmth eventually fade? I don't know but right now Lauren was on Brandons back. It was cute, she was nestled in the crook of his neck. Probably because she was tired I guess.
As we got back onto the main stretch of road, I felt it again. The uneasiness of someone watching me. But then the feeling became unbearable, I knew someone was there.
From behind me I heard someone shout "Alex!" I couldn't tell who it was. I probably didn't even know them. The person, I'm assuming , who called my name grabbed my arm. I looked to my arm where the persons hand was then looked up. Blake Gray. My old schools 'popular kid' or whatever you want to call him. We went out for about a month until he found another girl. Didn't bother me too much to be honest, he was a jerk.
"What do you want?" I said with no emotion.
"You" he said before pushing me against the closest wall. If he's about to rape me, I'll stop him from having kids.
"I swear Blake. You know I'm stronger than you" He started to leave light kisses down my neck. I wasn't going to hurt him just yet. I need to catch him off guard.
I heard hard steps coming from behind me, then they gradually picked up.
"BLAKE, WHAT THE HELL?!" Blakes head snapped to the right of where he was. It was Hunter. The thought that failed to reach my mind was that Hunter had met Blake. Probably created a bond with him... And here he was, trying to rape me.
"Awh, and if it isn't lover boy himself," Blake started, looking back towards me. " Did you know he was rec-"
"Don't you dare." Hunter said in a deep tone. I looked down to his hands. They were clenched, slowly going white.
"But baby girl, wouldn't you-" This time I cut him off. I'd had enough. We can't waste anymore time.
I quickly swung my arm up from his tight grip, startling him, then I lifted my leg just enough so that it would collide with his non existent genitals. "Don't you dare 'baby girl' me Gray. I warned you." I ended as I ran back over to where Lauren was now tucked into Brandons arms once again.

Laurens pov*
This is a mess. This whole thing is a mess. Why does this always happen to us ?
"Brandon," I said, voice quivering from where I had previously been crying.
"Yeah?" He said, tucking a strand of my ginger hair away from my face.
"Whatever happens, just remember that you are a great person. Keep doing what your doing, same goes to -"
I was cut off by the sound of my sisters voice getting higher.
"Don't you dare 'baby girl' me Gray. I warned you" I wish I was more like Alex. She's so strong, honestly.
"Brandon!" I wailed into his shoulder, head on his chest. I was crying, I couldn't help it. He suddenly pushed me a bit away from him, so he could see my face. He gently placed his thumbs under my eyes, wiping away the tears.
"Lauren, listen to me. You are stronger than you think and you can do this. We can do this. As long as we stay together and help eachother, we'll be fine. Trust me" He said, leaning down and pecking my lips. I didn't know what to think. The Brandon Rowland just kissed me. There are loads of girls who would've literally died for the chance to do that. His lips felt so soft on mine. They felt so warm and comforting, they gave me a feeling of hope.
There is a way we can get through this.
