The Fighter (GXG) [Editing]

12. Can't Force

Morgan's POV

We have been playing a game for the last ten minutes, while the girls are still in the bathroom. It is starting to bug me that I can't do anything.

I don't know who did it and I can't stop it from happening again! I feel completely useless and powerless. It has been a long time since I have felt like this. I don't like it one bit!

That's when the girls came out of the bathroom and joined us. Lilly seemed to be okay, she is even smiling. I know she is just trying to put it to the back of her mind and have a good time.

The guys finished the game and decided that we should watch a horror movie. As they put it on, I went into the kitchen to do some popcorn and grab some sweets.

I was in the middle of making the popcorn when I heard someone coming into the kitchen. I looked behind me to see Lilly standing near the table.

"Hey" I say to her with a small smile. She just gave me a small smile back and silence washed over us. I was unsure what to say to her and it seems she felt the same way.

Don't get me wrong it wasn't awkward or anything, it was actually a comfortable silence. That's when Lilly's sweet innocent voice cut through the silence "Thank you for earlier".

"There is no need to thank me" I sighed as I finished the popcorn. I will admit that I am still slightly pissed off that she won't tell me who hit her.

But what can I do? It is not like I can force her to tell me. I stopped what I was doing and placed my hands onto the counter.

I need to breath and calm down. I can't shout at her again about something that is technically none of my business. Morgan calm down!

As if Lilly knew what was happening to me, she came up behind me and wrapped her hands around me. Within a second I could feel myself relaxing and feel the anger vanish.

"It's going to be okay" she said softly against me back. For some reason I believed in what she was saying. What is it about this girl that has me in a trance?

"Princess hurry up with the popcorn cause the movie is about to start" Chase shouted into the kitchen. Looks like that's my queue to stop what ever is happening here.

I made Lilly let go of me and strolled back in the living room. I placed everything on the table and sat back in my chair. Lilly then came back in and sat beside Hayley.

We played the movie but within ten minutes I was not even paying attention to it. All I could do was look at Lilly. The girl who has beautiful long blonde hair and gorgeous light green eyes.

I know it would be stupid to try and get involved with her. I still can't believe I am even considering this.

But what are the chances that she would get hurt cause of me? She already got hurt cause Jake has something against me. He went after her instead of facing me.

Then there is the people from my past that are still after me. Just waiting for the opportunity to strike!

I can't do it! I can't give someone the opportunity to destroy me by going after her. It is going to kill me, but I need to distance myself from her.

Lilly's POV

During the movie I could feel Morgan's eyes fixed on me. I am trying my best not to look over at her. But I can't help it.

I slowly look over to were Morgan was sitting, to see that she was staring into space. She seems to be thinking hard about something but I am not sure what.

As you can see nothing has happened between Morgan and me. As much as I want something to happen, I can't force it to happen. I have to wait and hope that she feels the same way as I do.

I am not saying that I am in love with her but, I do have strong feelings towards Morgan Blake. We have been spending more and more time together.

I still have not found out more about her. She is not yet comfortable to let her guard down. I think it is just going to take more time.

I still have not figured out what it is about Morgan that has me so intrigued. The one thing that keeps Morgan on my mind.

Some people still say that she is dangerous but I can't help to feel safe when I am with her. You can tell that she would protect the ones that she loves and would kill anyone who try to harm them.

I suppose in that way she is dangerous. But then again just don't hurt anyone she loves and she won't go after you. It is simple as that.

Today I have seen a side to Morgan that I have never seen before. You could see the worry in her eyes and the slight panic in her voice.

Then the way she comforted me and held me in her arms. In that moment I knew that some how that everything will be alright.

I knew with her by my side I can get threw anything. I have not felt like that since my mother left me.

With Morgan I feel confident, strong. I feel like I can do anything.
