Stable Connection

Chapter Twelve

 ** I was going to stop at the last chapter but decided you guys prob wanted to know what happens with Landon so here it is ;) **

Jon’s POV

            I heard someone yelling outside a few minutes after Lina left and walked over to the window that faced the front part of the barn to see what was going on; when I looked out I seen that Landon was outside and they were having some sort of argument about something. I didn’t want to get involved knowing that whatever it was Lina would have to work it out on her own; she was a strong girl and feisty I had no doubt that she could hold her own. I was just about to go and sit back down when I seen Landon grab a hold of her arm and pull her to a stop as she tried to walk away; something about him touching her like that just set me off and I took off down the stairs and out of the barn without a second thought.

“Stop bein’ a little bitch Lina! You need to just get over it; it was a one time mistake.” Landon yelled back at her as she went to turn away; she stopped mid-step and turned back around to face him with a look of pure rage on her face, I stayed frozen in the spot by the door, neither one of them had even noticed I was there yet.

“What the hell did you just call me?” She said stomping back over to get right in his face.

“Babe, I just mean… we just need… can’t we talk this out?” He stuttered over his words as he went to wrap his arms around her waist.

“I will give you one more warning Landon; you get the fuck off of my property right now or I will make you leave.” She growled not backing down an inch.

“Baby come on.” He said reaching for her arm but she quickly slapped his hand away.

“You are the lowest piece of shit that I know; you are nothin’ to me, nothin’, you hear me!” She screamed at him; his face turned to anger and before I even knew what was happening his hand came up and slapped her hard across the face.

            Pure rage took over my body as his hand connected with her skin and she stumbled backwards falling to her knees from the impact; his face filled with regret as he took a step towards her like he was going to help her off the ground. Lina had a look of hatred and shock on her face as she got to her feet on her own and turned on her heels; before Landon could take another step I was in front of him and landed a punch straight to his jaw. He fell to the ground and cupped the side of his face as blood started to drip from his busted lip; I was just about to pick him up from the ground and beat the living shit out of him when I heard the sound of a gun cocking behind me, the sound made me freeze and Landon’s eyes went wide. I slowly turned around and found Lina standing there with a hard look on her face and a gun in her hands pointed directly at Landons head.

“I’m givin’ you to the count of three to get the fuck out of here.” She growled while her hands stayed steadily planted on the gun that was still aimed at him; I took a few steps back to make sure I was out of the line of fire.

“Babe…” Landon started but Lina quickly cut him off.

“One!” She shouted as he fumbled to get back to his feet.

“Lina just put the gun…” He started again.

“Two!” Landon didn’t think twice after that and quickly made his way to his truck starting it up immediately.

“Three!” Lina said with a smirk as her finger pulled back the trigger and shot out one of his headlights; I stared at her with wide eyes and Landon’s mouth dropped open in shock as he stuck his head out the window to assess the damage to his truck.

“You fuckin’ bitch, you’re gonna’ to pay for that.” He said going to get out of the truck.

“The next one’s goin’ in your head.” Lina countered as she raised the gun to point it at him again; he stopped in his tracks and turned back to get in the truck.
