Already broken and bruised

Danger is everywhere

Chapter 20

"Put me down this isn't funny!" I screamed as Nash continues to carry we over his shoulder the rest of the way to the stupid house, I probably would never leave. Way to stay positive, I know... "NASH!" I shrieked really loud this time.

"Hello? Is everything okay?" We all stop as a voice behind us shouts over my screams. Nash drops me to the ground, and wraps his arms around my waist.

"Don't say a word..." He whispers in my ear. "Sorry sir me and my girlfriend were just playing around." Nash let the word 'girlfriend' smoothly roll off his tug as if he's always wanted to say it. I snort and Nash squeezes me tighter as the guys chuckle a little under there breath.

"Alright then have a nice night." The man walked back inside his house and Nash turned me around so now I was facing him. He still didn't let go of my waist.

"We sure will have a nice night," Nash leans in and whispers in my ear. My eyes widen and I rip away from him.

"You wish!" I yell at him as I run toward the house. Yes I know that sounds so stupid! But there's five guys I was not getting away.

"Maylee what are you doing?" Nash yelled from behind me.

"Going in the firkin house! Is that a problem?" I yell back. I get to the door and reach for the knob as the lighthearted chuckles from the guys fill the air. I'm about to open the door when I hear a rustling to my left. I step back a little.

"Maylee run inside! Go!" I spin around and see Nash running a little faster at me. I look back to my left and see a dark figure appear in the already dark sky.

"Don't move or I kill you!" A scary figure says as he fully steps out of the bush and is now in full view. I don't move even though Nash is yelling at me to. "Well Nash I hate to break it to you but, I'm going to be taking miss Maylee with me." I look at Nash and he looks tense. Does he really care what happens to me? The figure stepped even closer to me so now I could see his face. The guys stay completely still and so do I. I feel like I'm unable to move.

"Don't hurt her Baker...." Nash yells. Trailing off at the end. And then I realize that this is one of the guys that want me dead, so I Gould probably do something.

"Wait a sec... Ethan Baker?" I can tell my question catches him off guard by the way his eyes get wide.

"You remember. You have to die now." Baker pulls a knife out of his pocket and then it feels like everything is silent around me, but seriously what is it with these people and knifes. I all I can hear is the rapid beating of my heart. He lunges at me and I duck. Before he can spin back around I kick him in the back of the shin and he goes down. Maybe for just a split second, but its enough time. Because in that time Nash runs over and climbs on top of him, as Tanner picks me up and pulls me away.

"Let go! What are you doing?!" I scream at Tanner. He only wraps his arms around my stomach and squeezes tight! Nash started to punch the guy. After all my wiggling around Tanner manages to slip up and I slip away in the time. I run over to Nash and yet again someone who wants me dead. "Nash stop you can't kill me!" I yell. Nash stops mid swing and look at me.

"What are you talking about May? He was going to kill you!" I can tell Baker is shocked by my actions but I don't really care. I can't let another person die even if he did try to kill me.

"Another person can't die Nash..."

"Yeah but you are going to die Maylee!" Baker yells as he picks up his knife and throws it at me. Nash jumps off of Baker and jumps onto of me pushing me from the deck to the floor. But it was already to late. I felt unimaginable pain corse through my side as I let out a scream. I looked down at my side and saw the knife had just grazed my hip, but it still caused me to bleed. I felt tears fill my eyes and run down my cheek. I wanted to tell the guys not to kill Baker but it was already to late for that too. About three seconds after the knife grazed me Tanner had put a bullet in Bakers head.

"Oh my god May are you okay?" I laugh a little at Nash's question and he gives me a strange look. Like I'm a crazy. He places his hand on my hip, where the bleeding started and I yell a little in pain.

"Yeah Nash I'm fine only have blood Cushing out of my side, but other then that yeah I'm great," I say in the most sarcastic tone that I can. He chuckles slightly under his breath. "Aren't you going to get off of me I'm kinda bleeding?" He doesn't say anything but he does climb of of me. He leans his hand down and I ignore it. But getting up by myself didn't work out that well. As soon as I put and wait on my left leg my side sent shooting pain up my body, so I feel back to the ground...

"You know it is okay to take someone's hand occasionally." Nash stats rolling his eyes and pulling me up by my arms.

"Nash I can't stand..." I mumble as I feel myself start to fall when he lets go. He picks me up bridle style despite him knowing I don't like when he does that, and carries me the rest of the way into the house the guys following. The door screeches open reveling a modern house. Well as much as I can see is modern which is only the living room and kitchen. Nash carries me to a black leather couch and lays me down on it. He props my head up on a pillow, and leans down and whispers in my ear that he will be right back, before he pulls away and runs down the hallway.

"Well this isn't really what I had in mind..." I mumble to nobody in particular. Right before I feel myself start to fade. As the room becomes blurry along with my thoughts, before everything turns to black.
