No saving me(EDITING)

Bad News.

Zane POV:

"You're going to stop hanging around him!" I hear Kahale shout from somewhere around where I'm laying.

"You don't know anything, Kahale!" A voice, Rae, shouts back.

"I don't know anything?" Kahale lets out a short laugh, "I've lived here for nineteen years and I don't know anything? Get real, Rae!"

"Stop it Kahale. Just stop it."

"He's bad news, Rae. He's no good." I hear Kahale's voice soften a bit.

I am so sick of being referred to as bad news. That's all that I am to anybody anymore.

Bad news. No good. That kid who beat up that girl in the 7th grade.

The worst thing about it is, I can't do anything about it.

What happens when Rae starts to believe the things that people are saying about me?

"You had sex with his girlfriend and you're the one who's telling me that he's bad news?"

I hear Kahale let out another short laugh, "I had sex with his girlfriend because she told me that he beat her and that she was lonely."

YOU'VE. GOT. TO. BE. KIDDING. ME. IF ANYTHING, SHE'S THE ONE WHO ABUSED ME.

I can literally feel Rae roll her eyes from wherever she's standing, "Whatever. I don't feel bad about fighting her at all."

"I thought she kicked the crap out of you?"

"NO MATTER." Kahale chuckles, "You don't get to say who I like and who I don't like. That's not for you to decide."

"Fine, I'll just tell Holly, we'll se how much she likes it."

"Go ahead." NO, RAE, NO. "And while we're talking, I'll be sure to inform her about your little trip to Mississippi."

"You wouldn't."

"Wouldn't I?"

Things are silent for a moment before I hear Kahale let out a short breath, "You're really serious about him... Aren't you?"

"More than you'll ever know."

"I don't get it, his brother is so much better." Kahale sighs, "Zane is too much like me."

"Don't I deserve to find that out for myself?"

"I just don't want you to get hurt. It's guys like us that hurt cute little girls like you."

Thinking about hurting Rae hurts my heart. I can't imagine how much I'd hate myself if I ever hurt her.

"Go back to your Biloxi whore, and leave me to my boyfriend." Rae's voice start to get closer to where I'm laying.

"So he's formally your boyfriend, yeah?"

Rae pauses for a second before saying back, in no more than a whisper, "He's more than that."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rae smacks a bag full of ice down on my head and I shrink back from the hit, "Ouch!"

She rolls her eyes, "Don't be such a baby."

I playfully punch her cheek and her eyes go wide in mock-shock.

"I'd watch it if I were you, Zane, doing something like that can get you a reputation."

I roll my eyes, "Hardey har har."

Rae laughs, rolls her eyes, and hops off of the kitchen counter, "Okay Judy Moody."

"The fact that you actually know where that reference is from is astounding."

Rae looks over at me while getting ice out of the freezer, "Why? I thought girls were the ones that were supposed to read the Judy Moody books."

My cheeks start to heat up, "They were totally for both genders."

Rae purses her lips and tries not to laugh as she looks at me, "Mhmm."

I take a piece of Ice out of the bag from my head and throw it, it goes down the front of her shirt, "SCORE!" I hop down from the counter and punch a fist into the air.

She picks the piece of ice out of her shirt and runs over to me, "You're going to pay, Zane!" She rips the back of ice out of my hands and pulls the waist of my pants out, "Love you" before I can register fully what she's doing she dumps the ice down my pants.

COLD. COLD. COLD. COLD. COLD. COLD. COLD.

"You cocky cock!"

Rae runs towards her room, "Every pilgrim reaches the end of his journey-" she starts to recite, but I interrupt her.

"I am going to massacre you!"

I bust into her room and she's nowhere to be found.

"Rae Rae..." I take a step into her room, shaking out the rest of the ice from my pants, "Come out, come out wherever you are... This isn't a big room... I will find you."

All of a sudden there's a weight on my back bringing me towards the floor.

"Attack!"

I turn so I'm laying on my back and she's laying on top of me, "You're viscous." I smile up at her.

"You know, I try."

I can't help but smile at her even more, "Someone's cheeky tonight."

"Tonight?" She raises an eyebrow, "Babe, I wrote the book on cheeky."

My heart skips a beat, "Say that again..."

She raises an eyebrow, "I wrote the book on cheeky?"

"Before that."

"Attack?"

"In between the two."

She thinks for a second before a knowing look crosses her face. She leans in closer so our lips are almost touching, "Babe?"

I close my eyes and nod, "Mmmm. Again."

She chuckles, "Baby."

I smile before closing the distance and kissing her beautiful lips.

She loops her arms around my neck and pulls herself closer to me.

"Can you guys get a room. Seriously. I know that I'm not allowed to pick who you date or whatever, but this is just torture."

Rae shakes her head and climbs off of me, "Kahale, you're such an ass."

I hit the back of my head on the floor below me repeatedly.

Seriously. Can. We. Never. Get. A. Moment. Alone?
