SHIT + LOVE

25🌸KEEPING HER SAFE, I THINK I'M GOING MAD🌸

SEB'S POV III

I wake up when I felt a draft of air touching my skin. As soon as I opened my eyes, Lee was nowhere to be seen. I can't believe she actually left me here so I could freeze to death.
I here something drop, and I turned around to see what it was.
I noticed that a window was open. I'm pretty sure all windows were closed when I arrived earlier, and why do I get the feeling that it's too quiet.

I stand up to check on the window, and as I came near it, broken glass were everywhere. Someone broke in. Where the fuck is Lee. I sneak a peek to check on the officers who are supposed to be watching us but I don't see a shadow. Where the hell are they when you need them the most.

I creep my way towards the hallway, and I start hearing faint footsteps. I need to find Lee without making a fucking noise. I headed to a window near the officers car, I assumed they must've fallen asleep. But I'm wrong. I see blood all over the place. They're not asleep. They're dead.

It's them. It's those assholes that almost killed me. I can't believe they actually came back.
I headed to the kitchen, Lee might have heard the noise and decided to hide there, but I'm wrong again. She's nowhere in the kitchen.

I heard a male voice shout "you bitch" somewhere upstairs.
She's there. Shit they found her.
Adrenaline rush had kicked in, I made a promise to myself that I will keep her safe for as long as I can. I slowly head up and took Xander's baseball bat along the way.
The voices are getting louder. Before I knew it, I was behind this big and scary dude.

I hit the guy with all I got. Everything was about to go dark, but when I saw Lee crying on the floor, I came back to my senses.
I dropped down without a second thought and gave her a hug.
Thank God I got here in the nick of time.

I help calm her down and took the gun from the guy.

We need to tie this guy up before he can escape. I gave him one hard punch to knock him out so I can buy enough time to tie him up.

"Lee go get me a pair of ropes right now!"
Lee looks at me surprised, she stands straight, nods her head and left without a word.

I pull the guy to the kitchen and just in time, Lee arrives with the rope.
As I start tying him, I asked Lee to call 911 and let them know we caught the man responsible for putting Xan in a coma.
"Ok, but what happened to the cops outside? Can't we just ask them to bring him downtown?" she asks while she starts to dial 911 on her phone.
"They're dead. He killed them" I answer without looking at her face.
She suddenly stumbles to the floor and begins hyperventilating. She's about to have a panic attack.
So I did what my Mom always does when I was younger. I ran back to her, hugged her and started stroking her back. "It's okay Lee, I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you I promise. Come on now count with me 1-2-3 breathe Lee, 1-2-3 breathe" while I sing her a lullaby Mom taught me. As I rock her back and forth, I can feel her body start to relax.

She managed to call 911 and her Dad afterwards. 15 minutes later the cops arrived. They asked us a couple of questions, and assured us that they'll handle the rest.
When they were about to leave with the guy, he still manages to give us a menacing smile saying "This isn't the last of me Princess. There's more of us than what you think, I'd keep my guards up if I were you".
The nerve of this asshole, Lee's already been to so much shit and he just had to open that ugly mouth of his. I block Lee's view to distract her from listening to the guy but what she did next surprised me. Like really really surprised me. She charges the dude with one punch and he actually fell down the floor. The next thing I knew, he was spitting blood.
Holy crap. Now that's what you call a punch. I never knew she had it in her. It actually scares me.

After watching them leave, Lee comes near me and I chuckled. "Lady you put up quite a punch there. remind me never to get on your bad side" she laughs and like nothing happened, we went to the kitchen for some hot choco.

She sits down by the counter when I grabbed her hand and noticed the bruises she had.
"stings like a bitch" she jokes. But it feels like it's my fault, that I didn't give it my all to protect her. I pretend to laugh and shake my head.

I kiss her hands and pray to God everything's gonna get better. I give her an amusing smile and she stays frozen. "You said kissing a wound would help it get better right?" I ask her but she doesn't move. Am I actually making her feel nervous. This is fun. Now I know how to get on her shy part.
