Alone with Guys?/ WriteMas

He opened the door as I curled myself up into a ball. 9 different aged guys came running in crowding themselves around me.

"Back up. Back up boys!" Cass said even though they ignored him.

"HEY. BACK. UP!" he screamed watching all 9 boys form a line starring at me.

"Oldest to youngest. Now!" He screamed. Quickly the boys scurried into their line of ages that ironically managed them to go tallest to shortest.

"Lyric, this is Arron, Hunter, Gannon, Gage, Gunner, Daniel, Blake, Damon, and Luke." He said naming from oldest to youngest.

"Arron is 19. Hunter is 19. Gannon is is 18. Gage is 17. Gunner is 16, same age as me. Daniel is 14. Blake is 14. Damon is 13 and Luke is 11. Gunner what time is it?"

"We have.. 4 minutes!" He says. Everyone started to cram out of the room somewhere other than Cass and I's room. They shut the door and everything went back to the way it was before the boys came in. Cass picked me up and sat me on the bed under the covers.

"Let me clean up your stab and then you can sleep, okay baby?" Cass said rubbing his hand under my wound.

"I love you, I love you, I love you! I don't care what it takes. Just fix me!" I screamed while crying.

He leaned down to kiss me then turned around and went into the bathroom. He shut the door but I could still hear him rummaging through the cabinet.

He came out holding a first aid kit and walked over to me. He put a wet rag on my leg a started dab the blood. I screamed and kicked causing more blood to ooze out.

"Lyric. You have to stay still." He said.

He took out some kind of wipes and started to clean up all the blood. Then he wrapped it with an ace bandage.

"Here." He said holding his hand out for me to grab. I grabbed his hand and he picked me up pulling the blankets over me.

"You can go to sleep. It's okay. I'm going to clean up and try to get this blood stain off the carpet." He said walking back into the bathroom shutting the door. I rolled over closing my eyes to fall asleep.

** Cass POV
I finished the carpet and walked into the bathroom dumping the bloody red water in my bucket into the sink. Then I went to my dresser changing into some sweatpants taking my shirt off.

I walked over to the bed where Lyric was sleeping and planted a kiss on her forehead. She shifted around a little bit, but still continued to sleep. She was so beautiful. I can't wait to officially call her mine.

I set my alarm for 40 minutes then crawled in bed next to her. She flenched and woke up, rolling over to face me. A tear trickled down her cheek and she bit her lip, stopping herself from screaming.

"I'm so sorry baby! Come here." I said but she just turned over, continuing to cry silently. I wrapped my arms around her and pull her close to me. I hugged her gently being careful not to cause her anymore pain.

"I love you so much.. you're so beautiful and truly wonderful..." I whispered to her.

She still didn't look at me. She just kept herself looking at the opposite direction.

"Why do you hate me.. I just want to be next to you. I love you so much and you just neglect me. Why?" I said closing my eyes hoping she would answer me.

"I don't hate you.. I'm just.. I'm just trying to take in everything around me.." she turned around and finally faced me.

"There's that beautiful face I love." I said as she pulled herself closer to me wrapping her arms around me.

** Lyric POV
"There's that beautiful face I love." Cass said as I wrapped my arms around him. He flenched a little and I started to giggle.

"Ticklish?" I said laughing.

"No.. of course not." He said sarcastically.

"And anyways I'm the one who's suppose to be tickling you.." he said smiling.

"I will punch you.. I swear. I. Hate. Being. Tickled." I said smiling sweetly.
"I can take a punch as long as I can see you smile... and does that mean you are ticklish.." he said innocently.

"No.... I'm not ticklish either.." I said. I think he could tell I was lying because he started to giggle and reached his hand around my waist.

I reached over and started tickling him. He flenched at first then started to squirm around crazily.

"Babe stop! Please! I can't breath!" He yelled.

I placed a finger onto his lips,"Shhh. No yelling Cass. Remember? We don't want to bother your brothers." I whispered, smirking at him.

"I hate you.. SO MUCH!"he screamed. "Okay! Okay! Truce! I can't breath!"

I stopped tickling him, then nestled up to his chest, acting innocent. I put my hand on his chest and closed my eyes.

"I'll let you off the hook for now, but you better watch your back Lyric. You're in for it now.." he said playing with my hair. I feel asleep against his chest to the sound of his heartbeat.

**Cass POV
I rolled over and turned off my loud alarm that was going off and slowly crept out of our bed. I checked Lyric out for a moment looking her up and down. Her long blonde hair was all tangled up on the pillow. The covers hiding her body. That's when I noticed something.

Her feet were sticking out from under the blankets. I walked over to the end of the bed and watched her for a moment.

I reached my hand up and held her foot. I started to tickle her foot with my free hand, laughing. She started to squirm around, tugging her feet away from me. I tightened my grip and continued tickling her. She opened her eyes then pulled the blankets over her head, screaming.

I crawled onto the bed then sat on her waist. She screamed again and laughed even harder. I leaned over to her and kissed her, straight on the lips, silencing her screams.

I pulled away and started to chuckle.

"Shh. Remember Lyric?" I said starting to tickle her sides, continuing to pin her down with my weight. "We can't bother my brothers. They will eat. You. Up." I said smirking at her. Her face was turning red from trying to hold in her laughs. I lifted her arms and started to tickled her armpits. "What ever happened to not being ticklish?" I said tickling her sides then her arms and visa versa.

"I'm not! I just.. your hands!! I can't take them! You tickle me so softly!! I. Just. Can't. Help. It! I'll do anything! Just! Let! Me! Breath!" She screamed, laughing at the same time.

"Ohhhh. I get it! So when I tickled you, you listen to me? I'm gonna start doing that more often!" I said laughing. I snaked my hands up her shirt to her sides.

She giggled then started to cry. She started to tug at her shirt, attempting to pull it down. I stopped tickling her and stood up, crawling off the bed. She pulled the blankets over her face and covered up her body. I walked over to my dresser, grabbing some clothes.

"I'm gonna go get into the shower, okay Lyric?"

"Sure." She said, her voice muffled by the blanket.

I walked into the bathroom, locking the door and undressing, thinking about all the excitement that I had built up over Lyric slowly wash away.
