Beck's POV
"What? Why?"
"I need to get home.."
I noticed her breathing quickened and remembered last time this happened.
I wrapped my arms around her tightly and whispered to her softly
"Breathe princess, breathe"
After she calmed down she pushed me off and started to try and walk.
Her ankle hurt and she winced in pain before collapsing.
I caught her and turned
"Get on, and tell me what's gonna happen if something goes wrong"
"No, Beck it's nothing"
"I said get on"
She climbed on my back but she was silent the whole way back to the main road.
"I'll call a taxi"
She got down and called the taxi. She was leaning against a lamp post and the light shone down on her face, illuminating all her features.
"Alex, I won't let him hurt you anymore"
"Beck, there isn't anything you can do"
"I will always look after you, Alex."
She stepped forward, her eyes watery, and she fell into my arms.
The taxi honked, ruining the moment. Again.
The drive home too, was deadly silent.
I noticed when she was trying to open the door her hands were shaking and she dropped the keys. When I picked them up she took a deep breath
"Beck I know it's late but we need to tidy, then I'll drop you home"
I scoffed
"What?"
"You'd be stupid if you thought I'd leave you alone with him"
"Beck you can't stay"
"I can and I will, fucking hell Alex I said I won't let him hurt you"
"Beck"
"No Alex, let's just tidy up"
I was pissed off, I hated showing it but I was. I'm not leaving her here.
I hoovered the house and I saw her in the kitchen washing the dishes.
She could hardly even stand, yet she just carried on what she was doing.
After I finished hoovering I picked up a cloth and helped her dry the dishes, I felt bad for shouting but I'm protective over her. What else can I do?
"Alex I'm s-"
"Leave it, I don't care."
"Let me explain"
"Beck you don't need to, I know your just trying to protect me. You can stay when he comes"
Shit, I've fallen for her before she's even noticed.
