It's Always 2 VS 1: A LeLi Fanfiction

Chapter 11

I see him. He has Lisa in a corner, huddled with her knees up to her chest. I walked up to him and grabbed his collar, lifting him off the ground.

"Stay. Away. From. Her." I let out a deep growl through gritted teeth.

"You stole, my girlfriend! You took her from me!"

"So you came and attacked her?!" By now my blood was boiling with rage.

"I knew it would kill you! Look at you, you look like a monster monster. Holding a guy, who's fairly smaller than you, up on a wall? I mean, come on."

"You best shut the hell up before I shove my foot so far up your ass, you'll be wearing it as a hat."

"Hmm, weak boy talks a big game."

"Jamie. I'm gonna let you down, if you want to do this the easy way, you'll walk away and leave her alone. If you want to do this the hard way, you'll find my fist in your face and my foot up your ass. Got it?" He smirked at my offer as his feet hit the ground. He turned and started to walk off, his right hand stuffed in his pocket. I walked over to Lisa, who was still huddled in the corner with her knees to her chest and watery eyes. "Hey, hey are you okay?" My voice was rushed as I kneeled down next to her and grabbed onto her arm.

"Ryder." She whispered, looking past my shoulder.

"What? What do you need? Did he do anything to you?"

"Ryder." She whispered again, her eyes wide as she shook. I then heard what she was talking about. I was about to whip around and pull my knife, but he grabbed around my neck and pulled me up.

"Why, hello again Ryder. Did you really think I'd give up that easy?"

"Jamie, just put the knife down, no one has to get hurt in this, okay? Just let me go, and we can talk about this." He brought his other hand over to my face, laying a few good shots at my eye, blurring it.

"The time for talk is over Ryder. You took her from me! Someone like you! She fell for someone like you?!"

"Look, I'm sorry, but you're overreacting."

"Overreacting? Is this over reacting?" He ran the blade over my neck, barely cutting it, but enough to make it bleed nonstop.

"Jesus Jamie, just cut it out and let me go. Okay? You're insane."

"Me? Insane? No." He laughed, tugging me closer. "Listen Ryder, I'm gonna give you two options. You can give her up, and you won't get hurt. Or, I can kill you, and I take her. What's it gonna be?"

"I wish it didn't have to come to this, Jamie." I rolled my eyes and grabbed his arm that was around my neck.

"What do y-" I cut him off by flipping him over my shoulder and holding his arm behind his back, twisting it every time he moves.

"Jamie, you're so lucky you didn't try this in a dark alleyway, because you'd be dead by now." I picked him up by the back of his shirt and dragged him out of the school, ripping the knife from his hand and shoving him away from me. "I have two of these on me now. And you, well you don't have any. If you're smart, you'll stay away." I turned and walked back in, putting my hand to my neck, still feeling the blood drip from the cut. "God damnit." I groaned, stripping from my shirt to use as a towel, flinching at the immediate pain. "Lisa! Hey, hey he's gone now. Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm f- Ryder! Your neck!" She locked eyes with me, unwrapping the blood soaked shirt from around my neck.

"Hey, I'm fine. He just got me a bit. What'd he do to you?" She shook her head and looked down. "Son of a bitch. Come on, we're going to my house." I slid my arms under her, holding her close to my chest. I tossed my keys to Halton and grabbed Lisa's. I laid her down in the backseat of her car and I got in the front, driving to my house. Once we were there and I picked her up and hurried inside, laying her on my bed. "Need anything? Water? Food? Anything at all?" She shook her head and curled up. I started to walk out.

"Wait."

"Yeah?"

"Could you..lay down with me? I don't really want to be alone right now." I smiled a little at her and walked back to the bed. I laid down without a word, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her to me. She turned around as faced my chest. "You're bleeding still."

"Yeah, he got me good."

"Wait here." She slowly sat up and left, coming back a minute later with a towel and a bowl full of water. She turned me on my back and straddled my waist, wetting the towel and holding it up to my neck, gently dabbing it. She slowed down and smiled at me, slowly leaning in. She gently laid her lips on mine and blindly removed the towel, rubbing her hands up and down my chest. She slowly pulled back, smiling down at me as she grabbed the towel and continued what she had started. "There. Now, let me get a look at your eye."

"My eye?"

"Did you not even notice how messed up your eye is? It's split right below your eye." She touched a spot under my eye with her pinkie, making me flinch.

"Ow,"

"Sorry."

"It's fine."

"So,"

"So."

"Can we talk about what happened earlier?" She sighed, continuing to clean my eye.

"What do you mean? Jamie cut me and I took his knife."

"No, before that. Like, what happened this morning."

"Oh, that. Yeah, there was no dare Lisa. Halton was just messing around. I wouldn't do that to you, okay?"

"Okay, I understand, but why would he even get that idea?" She looked kinda hurt, her eyes were big and she  had tears threatening to break through.

"He's just being a dick. He just wanted to make me mad."

"But why?"

"Because he's a dick. He doesn't understand that he can actually hurt people sometimes." She nodded in response and just sat on my waist, her legs in either side of me. "So, is this the part where we make up?" She smiled at me and leaned on again, softly laying a quick kiss on my lips. "I'm taking that as a yes?"

"Of course."

"So, are we dating?"

"I don't know, are we?"

"Lisa Mantler, will you be my girlfriend again?"

"I'd be honoured Ryder." She smiled at me, gently placing a bandage under my eye and kissing right beside it. "There. All better."
