Oh f*ck no

Pov Calum

We're on our way back home.
We had been walking outside, just me Levi.. and three guards.
The late night walk was fine though.

Everything was fine until we got home.

While walking up the driveway I find myself being thrown to the side out of nowhere.

'Levi what the fuck! What's gotten into y..'

My sentence gets interrupted by a loud bang that doesn't echo. Still it keeps on ringing over and over and over again in my head.

'Calum get inside.. get in—fucking—side!' 'But..' 'Get inside you moron!'

When I try to get up I find myself dropping to the ground once more as the same sound is hurt.

'Calum?!'
'I'm fine! I'm fine it missed.'

He makes his way over to me keeping his hand in a stop position and helps me up.

'Leave him alone, you don't want him.. you want me.'
'Levi what the fuck is going on?'
'I may have upset some people..'
'You.. you idiot! Why didn't you tell me?' I shout.

'We got the shooter!'

'Why didn't you tell me?' I repeat.

'So slight problem.. they got backup.'
'How many?'

He helps me back up on my feet keeping a hand on my hip ready to throw me to the side when needed.
His eyes glow with anger.

'I asked how many!' He repeats fully scarring me now, I make sure he doesn't notice that though.
'Eight.. I think.' 'Calum inside!'
'No,' I respond, 'With me we're with six and have more chance.'
'You'll get yourself killed!'

I escape his grip.

'I can fight.' 'No you can't.'
'I'm sorry? I was a secret agent!'
'You weren't a good one,' he snarls.
'Wouldn't I have died already then?'

'Uh guys, help is appreciated.'

I walk into the battlefield, our garden and see seven people covered in black and another one being held, I guess the shooter.

'Calum Parker! Get back and get inside!' 'Can't hear you!'
'You haven't fought in months.'
'I trained.'
'Dammit, you're going to be the death of me.' 'Same.'

Why are we even fighting these guys?
To get to know who they are I guess.
Maybe to intimate them?

'Change of plans, Calum go get Raven and Liz.'
'Fine, if you give me backup.'
'This is why you should've stayed out off the fight.' 'Just give me backup.'

'

'Guys! We have a slight issue outside!'

Within a few seconds the two stand opposite from me and I don't know where they came from.

'Details?'
'Eight men, one proven to be weaponed with a gun,' I state.
'And we are with?'
'Including you and me seven.'
'You're going to fight?'
'Yeah..'

I find a bat being placed inside my hands.

'Take it, I know you're more used to having something than bare fists.'
'But this is yours?'
'I'll be fine, just don't lose or break it.'
'Thank you so much I know how much this means for you.'

I pull the guy into a hug before I notice what I'm doing.

'I.. sorry,' I pull away, 'Not my face!'
'It's.. fine. Let's beat some asses first, Liz call the authorities and join us after.'

We walk outside where the battle fully started now.

Because I'm a hopeless romantic I immediately run towards my husband who's dealing with two guys.

'Hi, am I aloud to break legs?'
'Uh yea.. sure?'

Just hit people with a bat and try not to get hurt.. not a big deal right?
I swing the bat and close my eyes waiting for the impact.

'Okay, open your eyes and try to actually hit your target.'
'Right..'

Okay.. it's a big deal.

'That bat is way to heavy for your noodle arms.' 'Okay a bit of support and encouragement wouldn't hurt!'
'Go break legs hun,' he mutters.
'Good enough.'

I duck back down swing the bat and manage to get my target on the floor.

'Okay now sit on him and keep him on the ground, you did your job.'
'But that's boring!'
'Calum!'

I decide to drop the argument for now and just listen to him.

'In that case, my bat back.'

'

'You guys could've been more careful.'
'Self defence.' 'I understand, but Lev.. sir, his legs are probably fractured.'
'Calum let out his anger.'

The eyes of disbelief almost hurt.

'I was aloud too!' I lower my voice, 'Is it really that bad?'
'Could be, I can't tell.'
'Calum relax, it's a bad guy and you didn't kill him,' Levi assures me.
'I may have ruined his life..'
'He could have ruined yours.'
'Right..'

I don't think I'll ever get used to all of this.

'Come we're going inside.'

'

We went to the bedroom almost immediately, sitting om the edge of the bed both waiting for one of us to open our mouth.

'Are you hurt somewhere?'
'I don't think so,' I mumble.

Then the silence returns while he looked at me from top to bottom to see whether or not I was lying.

'Great job.'

'Levi, why did this happen.. how could this happen?'
'People don't like me very much.'
'That's not a reason to come after you with a fucking gun!' I yell.
'Fine! There's a hit on my head.'

I turn my head to the side in an instance hoping to find something in his eyes telling me it's a joke.. I couldn't find it, he wasn't joking.

'How much?'
'I don't know, I just know a lot of people try it.'
'Is this the reason why you're keeping me inside all the time?' I ask.
'Yes.'

Fuck.

Fuck, if there's one thing I didn't want to deal with right now.. it's definitely this.
