twenty-four☆

'Where are you!?'

'Hurry up!'

'Becca why aren't you answering me!'

I reply back: 'I'm sorry. There was a little something I had to take care of. I'm in my way out front.'

I run out front, now that the halls are a little less cleared. I quickly spot L and hop on the motorcycle. "Where were you?" He asked. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed as I leaned my head against his back. "Some people vandalized my locker calling me a slut." To be honest I've gotten used to it after these past two weeks. "Why didn't you say something?" I sigh. "I don't know. You always freak out when this kind of thing happens."

He sighs. "Of course I do. I'm supposed to be taking care of you not letting you get all hurt." I smile a little bit. "I appreciate you being there for me. I really do. But unfortunately, I have to go to work so can you take me to the record shop please? " He sighs and nods.

We get there and he gets off the bike too. "Why are you getting off?" He smirks. "Well I might as well work here if you're not going to quit. I need a day job anyway."

We walk into the shop and I hope behind the counter and put on my work shirt.

"Hey Niall! How's it going?" He smiles. "Really good! Who's the guy you walked in with? He's cute." I laugh. "Just a friend. He's not my type anyway." Niall chuckles. "Not yet anyway." I roll my eyes. "Oh and he wants to work here so can you interview him? I haven't worked register in a while." He smiles. "Of course."

After the long day of work, we head to the diner to finish our things for science.

"Wow." L says. "Hmm?" He smirks. "You're a really good writer. You should be an author or something."

I laugh. "What? I'm being completely serious." I sigh. "I haven't had any ideas for writing anything lately. I've just been so out of it." "So get back into it. You're good at it, I'm sure you can." I smile. "And by the way I don't know how you can eat this. These mushrooms are so weird!" He says and I laugh. "Nonsense. I can't believe you can eat this it's so much meat! And pickles!" I say pointing my finger in my mouth making a 'blah' sound. He does the same thing for the mushrooms and I laugh.

I snag a mushroom off his plate and eat it and smirk. "Okay princess you wanna play that game?" He snags a fry and a few pickles. "Hey! I never took any of your fries!"

We finish up and we head out to the bike and get on. I grip onto his waist and squeeze him tight. "You good back there?" I smile. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just really lucky to have such an amazing person always there for me even though I just met you."

We finally reach home and I head up to my room and close the door behind me. I take my shoes off and put them in my room as I put a pot of water on to boil to make some ramen.

After a few minutes I hear a knock on the door. I look through the peephole and it's Tyler. "How do you know I'm here?"

He sighs. I tracked where you were based on that last call we had. I knew something wasn't right. I had to make sure you're okay."

I hesitate. "I'm fine." He chuckles. "Obviously not. You're living in an apartment, with no family. You're bullied at school. You're surrounded by drama. You are not fine and I want to know how I can help."

I sigh and finish cooking my ramen and make bowls for the two of us.

"You want to know how you can help?" He nods. "Just stay out of it, stop people from saying rumors. It's all I can ask." He nods.

After a while, he leaves and I lock my door. I sigh and hop into the shower.

After my steamy shower, I get into my pajamas and sit in my bed and write a entry log for my journal.

'Wednesday, January 10th

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm always in the middle of some sort of drama. I have no one to support me except my friends and L. I don't even know L that well.'

I continue to write about how mysterious L is but how kind and caring he is. I finish up the log and I set it aside and hop into my bed.

I turn off the light and lay my head down to go to sleep. I yawn, rolling over and hugging to my pillow.

I wake up in the middle of the night ad sit up. I look at the time on my phone and it's currently '2:30'. I groan and scroll through my notifications on my phone.

I see a unknown number texting me to go to a certain address and it addresses my name.

They said to meet at the place at 3:30. I hey dressed into a brain with a T-shirt and a pair of dolphin shorts, sliding on a pair of slides. I open my door and go to L's room number and knock.

After a few minutes he finally answers. "It's 2:30 what the heck are you-" I walk in and set my stuff down. "Becca!" I sit down on the couch and run my fingers through my hair. "Also put some clothes on please."

He quickly goes to put shorts on and comes back. He sits down next to me and rubs my shoulder. "What is it?" I pull out my phone and show him the text. "I think it's my brother." He pulls me into a hug, moving his soft arms around my waist. I hug him tight, knowing he'd help me find him, even if it wasn't him.

He throws a shirt on before we leave and we walk out to the bike and I grapple into his waist while he finds the address location.
