Later iw alk into the bathroom where Sam was about to clean his wound. I lean on the door frame and watch him.

"Crazy isn't it?" he says making me jump a little. He looks up at me as he grabs a wash cloth. "How people all around you can keep so many lies, and yet act like everything it okay," he says with a small smirk. I let out a sigh and walk over and take the wash cloth from him. He stares at my hand as i get it wet with warm water.

"I don't blame you for lying Sam," I tell him as i stand in front of him. He was leaning on the counter. "I don't blame anyone for elying to me... Would i have liked to known about all this, yes. But at the same time i really would rather not know," i say as i look at the shot wound.

"I never wanted to lie to you," he says as i ignore him.

"You need to take off your shirt," i say. I watch him slide it off carefully and i can't help but stare. His body was perfect in so many ways.

"Cassidy," he says breaking me from my trance.

"This might hurt," i say as i press the wash cloth to his arm. He tenses a little but doesn't say anything. I take a chance to glace at him, he was looking at me intensly.

"Please understand cassidy, i didn't take his job because i was forced to. I took it because i wanted to protect you no matter what." he says making me back away from him, holding back tears.

"Don't you dare...You lost your whole childhood because of me.. You could have had a normal life, you could have went to school, did all the normal things, but instead you were trained to fight. What kind of a life is that Sam?" i say letting a tear fall. He steps forward and whips it away.

"A life i wanted, because i would do anything to keep you safe. You have no idea how hard i trained, pushing myself because if anything ever happened to you, i don't know what i would do," he says with a lot of emotion.

"I remember you...I remember that we were best friends up until we were eight, then you left. You were everything to me, and you left me..How do i know you won't do that again?" i whisper as we get closer so our chests were now touching.

"I would never leave you Cassidy," he whispers as he leans down and places a kiss on my cheek. "I made that mistake once, i have no intention on making it again," he says making me smile a little. I wrap my arms around him and we hug, and stay like that for awhile.

"SAM!" Keegan yells from the living room. All the lights were off and Cole was by the door with a gun, Keegan looking out the window. Molly and Talia were int he corner hidding. Sam uses his body to sheild mine as head lights appear in the driveway.

"Stay back," Sam whispers to me as he leaves the bathroom and goes to the living room. A few doors slam outside and everyone was ready for anything. A bang on the door make me jump.

"Sam! Open the door," TJ's voice says from the other side. Everyone relaxes and we walk to the door. Sam opens it and Tj was holding up Josh.

"What happened?" Sam says helping him carry him in. They lay him on the table and we all gather around. Josh has two gun shot wounds in his stomach. Sam was clearly trying to keep it together as he looks at his cousin on the table.

"How did this happen?" Cole says as they all rush around to stop the bleeding.

"We went back to the house to get the others, it looked clear. No guns going off, no people in sight. We walked in and Josh went down, they were waiting," Tj says in a panic  Sam was to focused on Josh. Josh was shaking and looked like he was in a lot of pain. I pushed Everyone back and took a pair of sissors  and cut the shirt off him.

"What are you doing?" Cole says walking next to me.

"Get the fit aid kit," i order him. He looks at me weird. "I am trying to save his life Colton, please," i tell him as he hurries away. "Keegan get some water, Molly get the power back on," i snap orders. Sam was standing next to me. 

"Cass," he whispers clearly in pain. 

"Josh, talk to me buddy," i say. Josh looks at me, pain clear in his eyes.

"Just let it go," he manages to say like he knew he was going to die here.

"I am not letting someone die for my family," i say as cole bring the kit. I begin to get ready.

"Sam, Cole, Keegan you need to hold him down," i say pulling out tweezers. They all grab him. Josh looked at me. 

"TJ get the bandage ready," i order as i dig for the bullets. Josh was screaming in pain and trying to break free of the bos, but they had him held down good. Sam was struggling with this. A few minutes late i had the bullets out and he was wrapped up. 

"I gave him some pain killers, he will be asleep for awhile." I say as i clean my hands. Sam was leaning on the counter in the kitchen watching me.

"You saved his life...Thank you," He says to me. I smile.

"Well, you are doing the same for me right now, so i owe you," i say with a smile. Now all that is left to worry about is my friends and family. We still haven't got word if they are okay or not. I was worried sick....
