Her Conflicted Heart (aka the bad boy next door)

My Protector

****** Owen's POV  *****

I still can't wrap my head around it. My sister and my best friend doing God knows what behind my back. And to top it off he acted like a dick and bounced. I'm going to kill him when I see him. I have to protect Livvi. I will make an example out of him that way no guys ever try and hurt her again.

I walk out of Liv's room angry but mesmerized by the sweet face of Liv's gorgeous friend Charlie. Charlie I wonder if that's short for Charlotte or something like that. She is a looker that's for sure. I will definitely have to find out more about her. But I'm the meantime I need to hunt down and kill Jackson Ryker!!

I head out to the practice field that's where he usually is if he's not home. Of course he's not there. I head into the locker room and surprise surprise there he is. "Hey Jax!" I shout. He turns around startled at my voice. He takes one look at my face and I can see the guilt and shame in his eyes.

"Owen it's not what you think!!" He stammers as I inch closer to him, my fists so tight my knuckles are white. He slowly backs away from me closing his locker with his hands in the air. "I-I love her I do, but I just can't do it right now the whole relationship thing. You know?" He stutters falling back.

I keep my pace walking towards him. My anger growing by the second. "I don't want to hear your excuses you fucking prick. I just left Livvi drunk and crying over you!" I shouted. "What do you mean? She's drinking and crying over me?!" He sounded shocked. "What did you expect Jax? You fucked her and bounced!" I yelled in his face finally reaching him. "I didn't mean to hurt her. I really do care for her. I'm just fucked up myself and can't handle the commitment." He pleaded.

Anger filled my entire body. I was shaking uncontrollably. I couldn't hold it back any more and I took a few shots at him. He stumbled back hitting the wall behind him. He charged at me yelling, "what the fuck!" I couldn't even respond we threw a few more punches each and when he went down again I kicked him in the gut. "Stay down there you little bitch and stay the fuck away from my sister!" I shouted threw gritted teeth. He didn't say anything. He just cowered there like the little bitch he was and I walked out.

I had so much anger pent up I couldn't even believe what I had just done. He deserved it. What he did to Liv was inexcusable. I had every right to defend her. I do not understand why I have to continue to convince myself.

I walked aimlessly back to the apartment and walked into a room filled with drunken giggles. Liv and Charlie were sprawled out on the couch eating popcorn and watching something on the tv. I tried to hide my hands from there view. I didn't want to upset Liv again since she seemed to be over the crying phase.

"Hey handsome!" Charlie squealed. A little too excited. I'm sure it was the alcohol talking. I smiled in return and walked into the guest bathroom. She decided to get up and follow me. Liv protested, but she ignored her. I stood at the sink and washed my hands trying to remove Jax's blood from my knuckles. Before I could I hear a gasp at the door and a wide eyed Charlie looking at the blood and bruises on my hands.

"Ouch! He really deserved that! Your sister would be relieved that you stood up for her like that." Charlie stated. "It was worth it! Just do t mention it. I don't want her worrying or feeling guilty in any way." I replied. "How Bad was his face?" She asked. I didn't respond just continued to wash my hands. They were pretty scrapped up.

"Here let me help you. Do you have a first aide kit?" She asked. I nodded to under the counter. She kneeled down right In front of me. Her mouth inches from my cock and I seen her glance towards my crotch and my dick twitched at just the thought of her putting her lips around it. Woah, down boy I said to myself. This is Liv's friend I couldn't do that to her. On the other hand she fucked my best friend I might as well return the favor.

Charlie grabbed the first aide kit and placed it on the counter in front of us and opened it to find some alcohol to clean the cuts on my knuckles. She found a few packs and ripped one open and gently grabbed my hand and dabbed the alcohol wipe against the cuts. "Ouch that burns, I hissed as I pulled my hand from hers. "Stop being a baby and suck it up!" She said as she grabbed my hand back. "I'll give you something to suck!" I replied under my breath without even thinking before I said it. I gritted my teeth waiting for her response. "Is that an offer?" She replied with a smirky smile never taking her eyes off the task at hand.

I didn't know how to respond to that. She caught me off guard. I like this girl. She is full of fire! I'm going to make her mine one way or another and Livvi can just deal with it.

********* Liv's POV ******

Owen refused to talk to me about what happened between Jax and him. But the next morning Jax was gone. In one night his room was empty and he didn't even say good-bye. I'm sure there had to be blood shed and that harsh words were said between Ownen and Jax. I just wish I could take it all back and that I never fell for Jax's. I should have been smarter than that. I don't think Owen will ever forgive me for sleeping with his best friend. I know he will never trust me or my judgement again.

Charlie seems to think it will all blow over soon and that Owen will get over it. I am sure she is trying her best to be a distraction for him. Those two have been awfully flirty the last couple of days. It doesn't bother me much. They both deserve to be happy even though I'm miserable. Who am I to stand in the way for their happiness. It just sucks to be alone.

Hello loyal readers...sorry for the semi-short chapter at the end in Liv's POV. I just needed to wrap up the chapter with Jax leaving. I hope you enjoyed a little bit of Owen's point of view. I am excited to see what happens next between Owen & Charlie. Does Owen claim her for himself or does he back away and let Livvi have her friend to herself? What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your feedback!! Talk to you soon!!
