"So all of a sudden you can talk to me no-"
I walked up to Carl and punched him in the face. "Fuck, I didn't think that through." I winced as I re injured my hand.
He held his cheek as stared at me. "What the fuck is your problem?"
"My fucking problem is that you threaten my fucking cousin to stay away from me and then beat him up!" I throw my arms up out of frustration.
I was in the verge of tears, but I didn't want to show my weak side to Carl.
As I headed towards the exit, I stopped by Carl. "Just do me a favor and leave me and my fucking family alone."

"You're home early." Lewis turned to look at me from the couch.
"I talked to him." I sighed and let my bag fall to the ground.
"What did you say?" He turned so his full attention was on me.
"I told him to stay the fuck away from us... and" I trailed off.
"And? What?"
"I kinda punched him."
Lewis took my hand and looked at it. "Did you hit him good?"
I laughed and shook off Lewis' grip.
He glanced at my hand once more then met my eyes. "We need to go see a doctor."

I threw my stuff onto the couch and threw myself into a chair at the table. Fiona glanced over at me, then did a double take.
"What happened to you?" She asked, looking over my bruised cheek.
I shrugged and looked at Fiona. "It's nothing to worry about, I think I deserved it."
She grabbed peas from the freezer and placed it on my cheek. "How?"
"Me and my friends jumped this guy, who I thought was this girl's new boyfriend, but it was just her cousin."
"You're right you did deserve it, but why did you do it?" Fiona placed the peas in my hand and walked upstairs.

It was 2:30am and I was still thinking about what Fiona had said earlier, until it finally hit me.
"Holy shit, I like Lilly."
