Just a Little Bit of Love, Barrels, and Horses

Chapter 24

I wake up to sobbing. What the hell? Then I hear voices.

"What will we do if she doesn't wake up?" Ellie asks.

"We take the bitch to the hospital. Duh," Alec's cold voice says. Then I hear somebody being slammed up against metal. Hey. That's my move!

"Guys," I mumble and they don't hear me.

"Guys," I say again, but louder. Ellie is trying to pull them off and she's not very successful.

"Hey dumbos!" I shout. They all look at me in surprise. Ellie rushes to my side.

"Oh my god! McKenna you're awake!" Ellie says starting to cry.

"Ellie please don't cry," I say. She just laughs.

"Fine," she chuckles. Then jake comes up to me rather slowly.

"Jake," I say slowly.

"What?" He asks.

"I've had my cooties shot don't worry. You can come closer," I say trying to keep a straight face. He smiles as a blush slowly creeps onto his face. I smirk.

"I'm so sorry," he says his smile fading. I look at him in astonishment.

"You don't have to be sorry for anything. The only thing you should be sorry about is that your brother is a douchebag.

"I'm right here you know!" Alec suddenly says from behind me.

"Yeah wish you weren't," I say rage pulsing through my veins. Jake lays his hand on me trying to calm me down. I shake it off and stand up. I walk up to him. "How dare you?!" I say.

"What?" He asks.

"You frickin beat me up? You punch me continually and you look smug about it!" I say shouting now.

"Well maybe if you weren't you were kissing my brother then maybe I wouldn't have!" He shouts back.

"You're such an ass! Go back to your whore-dom cause I never want to see your sorry ass every again!" I scream. Then I see him lift his fist. I quickly remember my training from my old karate class that I used to take. I grab his fist and flip him. It took every line of power I had in myself to lift his fat ass.

"Holy shit. What are you? A ninja or something?" Alec says getting up and wincing.

"I saw your fist move," I say confused.

"I was gonna leave!" He said dumbfounded.

"Whatever," I mumble. I quickly look around. "Where's magic?" I ask trying to keep the panic out of my voice, but failing.

"Oh I tied him up don't worry," Ellie says. I let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm going to go see him," I say.

"Okay I'll come with you," Jake says quickly. I just nod my head. I go over to the trailer and look at magic. He nudges me as if asking me if I'm alright.

"Yeah I'm fine bud," I say hugging him.

"McKenna. I'm so sorry. I didn't know he'd do something like that," Jake says coming up to me.

"Jake it's fine. I promise," I say reassuring him.

"No. It's not. I feel so bad," Jake says a tear going down his face. I immediately choke up. I hate seeing people cry. "Seeing you look so limp, it scared me," Jake whispered. I go up and hug him.

"Jake it's okay. You didn't know," I say wiping a tear from his cheek.

"But I just can't believe he'd do something like this," Jake says angry now. I grab his hand and squeeze it.

"Jake calm down. He's an ass. But he's your brother. What he did was wrong. But he was just confused. I'm not defending him, but he didn't know what to do," I explain. He sighs.

"You're right," Jake says.

"Of course I am. Like always," I say a smirk coming onto my face. He scoffs. Then a grin comes onto his face. I try to run but he grabs me and pulls me over his shoulder.

"Say you're never right," Jake says spinning.

"Jake put me down!" I yell fear that he's going to drop me.

"Nah," he says still spinning.

"Jake please," I say begging now, terrified. He immediately puts me down. He pulls me into a hug.

"I'm sorry," he says.

"What's up with you and those words?" I ask with a giggle. He laughs then puts my face in his hands gently.

"You know I'll never drop you right? I'll always be there. I'll always catch you when you fall," he says gently looking in my eyes than at my lips.

"I know," I manage to choke out. Then he leans in and then I do. When our lips touch sparks fly. He pulls me closer making no sure there's no space between our bodies. I put my hands in hai hair receiving a groan from his part. He bites my lip asking for entrance and I allow. His tongue roams my mouth. Our tongues fighting for dominance. Finally I pull away gasping for breath.

"Wow," he says breathlessly.

"I know," I say. Then he pulls me into another kiss and we hear a cough. Mae turn around and there's Ellie smirking.

"I was just here to pick up McKenna and ask her if she wanted something to eat but I was clearly interrupting something-" she says walking away. I roll my eyes.

"Wait! I'll come!" I shout. She stops and waits for me to come. I know that she's going to interrogate me but I could care less. I need somebody to talk to about this mess some people call life.
