Save Me

F O U R T E E N

I curled up on Ryan's chest and pulled the covers around me more. I never got the same heat off him as before and rather than cursing it, I missed it.

He held me tighter and kissed my forehead "I thought you were asleep" he whispered.

I shook my head "I can't. I just don't like that someone wants to change me and take me away"

"You're scared to be taken away again" He said softly. He stroked my hair and I purred and pushed my head into his hand, he chuckled "I won't let them take you" he whispered in my ear.

I smiled weakly "I don't think you'll be able to stop them. If they want me, they'll take me" I looked up at him. "Just promise me this, don't get hurt trying to protect me"

He frowned "I can't promise that"

I scowled and sat up. "Why not? I ask you one thing and you can't do it!"

"I can't just let them take you Lauren! I could never live with myself if I just watched them take you!" He shouted.

I got off the bed and folded my arms "Even if I wanted you to stay back? You would go against what I want so you wouldn't feel guilty? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm trying to keep you safe!"

"I don't need you to protect me! I'm not a fucking four year old!" He stood up "I would help you even if you hated me for it afterwards"

"Why? Why the fuck would you do that?" I shouted "Why would you want me to hate you?"

"Because I would know that you were safe and happy. Even if I wasn't there" he growled "So don't you fucking tell me to just let you go because let me tell you princess. It's not fucking happening"

"You're not seeing my point! I'm trying to tell you that I'm not happy when you're not there! So stop saying that I'd hate you when we both know that will never happen!" I screamed at him.

His jaw twitched "Why are you pushing me away princess? Are you scared?" He took a step forward, his eyes black.

I punched him. Right in the face. He hardly flinched, being a vampire and all. Worst part, it was with my broken wrist. He looked back at me and growled. "Stop calling me princess" I growled and shifted.

"Why? Should I call you angel instead?" He laughed and I lunged at him. We tumbled to the floor and rolled. He landed on top of me and straddled my stomach, putting all of his weight on me. "Why are you so mad? Why do you push me away? Why do you do anything?"

I wriggled but realised I was pinned. "Get off me you fat fuck" I growled.

"Not until you answer my question. Do you hate me? Is that it?" He asked leaning down.

I growled at him. "When I get free, I'm going to tear your tongue from your mouth and shove it so far up your ass you'll taste your intestines"

He chuckled "Answer my fucking question"

"I don't hate you! I push you away because... because... I fucking love you okay?" I screamed. Shifting back I relaxed beneath him. He got off me and I frowned. "Happy now?"

He grinned, his eyes back to the chocolate brown. "I fucking love you too" he said and kissed me.

The door slammed open but I didn't care to pull away. Infact, I rolled us over so I was above him. That was, until Crow grabbed me by the hair and dragged me out of the room screaming. "You two are staying in separate rooms so I can get some fucking sleep!" He shouted.

"Aww. Does Crow need his beauty sleep? Baby, are you tired?" I asked with a pouted lip and he scowled. His blonde hair a mess atop his head and sweatpants hung low on his hips.

He growled before slamming the door behind me and locking it. I hadn't noticed until now that he'd dragged me to his room. "How am I meant to sleep?" I asked, still on the floor.

"It's a double bed" he said sleepily. "Or you can sleep on the floor"

I groaned and went over to the bed. "Touch me and I swear I will break every bone in your body"

He chuckled "Fine. Night Trouble"

"Night Crow" I smiled and slipped into bed, burying my face in the soft pillows.
