JUNIPER

alejandro stood at the wide open door frame, his fists clenched tightly as he stared at billie with a deadly look.

"i saw your fucking car out there, eilish. you know, i didn't want to believe it was yours. then i come up here and see you taking advantage of my baby sister.", he laughed sardonically, scoffing when billie didn't bother to pull away from juniper.

she felt her tighten her grip on her waist, reassuring her that everything was alright. it was rare for her brother to get violent in an angry manner, he was the calmer of the two.

"i'm not taking advantage of her, nor would i have the mindset to do that. chill out, bro.", she put her hands up in a defensive position.

"nah. see i said to her i wouldn't do anything if i saw you, but feeling her up isn't gonna fly with me.", he rushed forward, brought back a curled fist and smashing it against her jaw, sending her to the ground and clutching her face.

she let out a small groan and shut her eyes tightly in slight pain. juniper gasped and kneeled down, cupping her cheeks and examining the impact wound.

"what the fuck?!", her light blue eyes casted over darkly, like a storm taking over the calm sea, turning into raging waves.

"stay the fuck away—", billie removed juniper's hands gently and shot up from the floor, her shoes squeaking against the wood flooring. a fist connected with the apple of his cheek, throwing him into what looked like a loop, his head whipping to the side brusquely.

"sweet baby jesus, billie. stop it!", her petite hands grabbed onto billie's tensed forearm, muscles flexing underneath her touch.

"i'll wreck your shit. don't put your fucking hands on me.", her hand winded back, landing a solid punch to the other side of his face when he looked up and regained his composure. an uppercut was delivered to the bottom of his jaw, a snapping noise coming from his mouth when his teeth clashed together.

alejandro shook his head blearily, dizzy from the impact, but shoved her back with immense force.

she stumbled and grunted under her breath, reaching for the waistband of her pants. she hesitated, looking over at juniper.

alejandro was the movement and recognition flashed  in his gray eyes. he clumsily went in to tackle her swiftly, she slammed her hands into his shoulders and brought him closer to jab him in the gut.

a sharp breath of air was released from his mouth as he leaned down into her body. her leg rose and knees him in the nose, splattering blood on her clothes and the floor. he fell to the side, limp and limbs outstretched.

drops of blood was on the wood, smudged and in copious amounts. her bloodied hands rose to delicately fix the bandana that was disheveled. juniper stood frozen, fear and anxiety swirling in her stomach as she stared at her. the situation happened entirely too fast for her to step in between, the second the hits started to fly to one another. her body shut down. she also didn't want to be cuffed by a stray hand.

"don't..touch my sister.", he spat out blood rolling onto his knees so the blood from his nose doesn't clog up in his throat. red ran down from his eyebrow and into his line of sight.

"be glad i'm trying to get on your sister's good side. you'd be road kill by now if it was up to me.", she nudged him with her foot, making the mistake of taunting him.

his arm shot out blindly and grasped onto her ankle and elbowing the back of her knee as she walked away. the action caused her to slightly lose her balance and her walk faltered. he took that chance to get up to his feet and wrap an arm around her neck. his fist pulled back and met her face repeatedly, busting her face open. she cried out, seeing as she was in a position where nothing was affecting him.
