We took off from the backyard but after a few minutes they caught up.
My hands were all sweaty from panic.
"Will you stop panicking!?" He said.
"Well I'm sorry! But there are like 10 guys trying to get to me! And I can't fight them!"
"It's 5 actually..."
"Oh! I'm sorry I wasn't specific enough!"
We ran towards my scooter.
"Hop on!"
"Who'd you steal it from?"
"It's mine idiot!"
We drove off as fast as possible.

"Where are we going?" West asked.
"I don't know!" I panicked.
"Then let me drive! I'll take us somewhere safe!"
"I'm not stopping for a single second, I don't want to end up dead!" I told him. He rolled his eyes at me.
We ended up at west's apartment door.
The area was lonely, dark and quiet. It was late at night and the biting cold wasn't helping either.
West grabbed his keys but they fell. He bent down to pick them up.
"I don't think we should be here." I told him.
"Why? I don't think they'll intrude my house."
"That's why..." I said pointing towards the huge men walking towards us.
His eyes went wide. Wimp.
"Get behind me!" He said pushing me back.
"No! YOU get behind ME! You can't handle those guys! You're a wimp!"
He opened his mouth to protest but then said "point." And stepped behind me.

The '5' men charged towards us. I grabbed one's arm and twisted it to the other side but he didn't even react. The man caught me by the arm and pulled me up.
Pain!
West attacked from behind throwing the huge man off his track dropping me to the floor. I kicked his stomach, not once but many times hard enough to make his mouth bleed.
The other two men grabbed west while the third punched him. His eye went black and blood running out of his mouth.
My eyes looked around for something. I saw a rod lying on the floor. Immediately, I ran towards the three men hitting the one punching west, hard. He fainted. West pulled the other one's foot dropping him to the floor and probably breaking his neck.
Two more to go.
My gaze fluttered to west to see him looking back at me. We signaled each other and charged towards the two guys. Using the rod I found, west defeated one.
I lifted my leg as high as the other guy's face and kicked him.
His eyes had dust in them and he couldn't see.

"Woah! How'd you do that?" West asked.
"I've been dancing for 7 years now and I'm really strong." I said in a sassy voice.
We laughed it off and went inside West's house.
I'd been here before but only once. Walking towards the kitchen sink, I washed my face removing all the blood there was.
"I'll go get the first aid kit" he told me.
I waited for him to come.

"Ouch!" West groaned in pain while I treated his eye with an ointment. I groaned.

"I'm not going to do anything wrong! What do you think, I'm evil or something!?" My voice raised over this silly argument.

"I don't THINK you're evil...I know so." He said

"Shut up and sit still!" I told him ignoring his comment.

"Okay.....Mom!"he said positioning himself right in front of me. "Why were they after you anyways?"

"You're as dumb as unscented soaps! They are friends of Justin you dumbass!" I stated the obvious.

"But why!? Why does he hate you?"

"Because I was easy to bully and and later I became tougher than him. It's envy."

"Maybe .....I'll just put this back and then get us something to eat." West said walking back into the tiny corridor.
Suddenly there was a bang from inside. I rushed into his room to see him on the floor.

"Are you okay!?" I asked him.
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine."
"Then stop looking.."
I didn't reply.
"If you don't mind, could you help me up instead of staring at me in horror.."
Realisation struck me and I helped him up.

"I'm an idiot, you're and idiot! We're both co-presidents of the idiot club!" West said smiling as if the fall didn't even hurt him. Maybe it didn't.

I groaned and glared at him.

"Why are you glaring at me like that?" He asked.
"I'm hoping you'll spontaneously combust."
He let out a chuckle moving himself closer to me.
My glare turned into a soft look. He was still the annoying guy from high school but I could see him differently now.

Before I could react to anything, his soft lips touched mine and I melted into his arms.

Pulling off, I let out a breath.
"Are you clinically insane or incredibly annoying?" I asked in a soft tone.
"Probably both.." he replied smiling.
I rolled my eyes at him and let out a laugh.
"You're crazy, Lockwood"
"For you!"
"And I'm mad!"
"For me?"
"At you!!
