In A Matter Of Seconds (o2l)

Chapter 39

LAINA'S POV

It had been a busy few days since we got home. Everyone was filming challenge videos and real videos to post on their channels because we had all been slacking due to vidcon.

Today all the guys were going to the grocery store to restock and I decided to stay home and relax.

While I was sitting in my bedroom on Twitter I heard the front door open and close, it had only been 10 minutes since the guys had left for the grocery store so it couldn't possibly be them.

Joker was about to bark when I stood up and help his snout shut. He whimpered and I let go and he stayed quiet.

I walked out of my room and looked down the hallway, no one was there.

I slowly walked to the stairs, my heart beating a mile per second. I felt like I was going to throw up. I had no defenses, I was completely vulnerable and in all honesty I should have just stayed in my room. I forced myself to the stairs and someone stood at the bottom of the staircase.

Lucas.

KIAN'S POV

We told Laina we were all going to the grocery store, but I actually was going on a date with Andrea. The guys agreed to stay out of the house for 2 hours so I could have a nice lunch date with Andrea.

"Keeks!!" Andrea squealed as I stood at the door. She grabbed my head and forced out lips together.

We walked out of her house and got into my car and we drove to In N Out Burger for lunch. Every chance she got she touched me or kissed me or held my hand in her sweaty one. She was drop dead gorgeous but had the personality of a four year old.

We made small talk about TeenHoot and how Andrea was going to her cousin's wedding and couldn't make it to TeenHoot.

I was kind of bummed, because Andrea and I love going to those YouTube conventions together, but at the same time maybe this could give me some more Laina time.

When I thought about her I instantly felt guilty about being with Andrea. Laina made me so happy and I felt no regret after having sex with her. I know it's awful but I literally don't feel like Andrea and I are even a couple at all. When we finished eating and Andrea wanted me to go back to her place I felt even more guilt rush through me so I ended our date and drove her home an hour earlier then expected.

I contacted the guys and they were relieved that I had ended the date early. They still hadn't warmed up to the idea of Andrea and I.

The guys and I came home and when we opened the door Laina was laying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs, unconscious and bloody.

LAINA'S POV

"Lu-Lucas what are y-you d-doing h-here." I stuttered every word, tears already forming in my eyes. I was alone, and Lucas was the captain of Varsity football and wrestling, he was intimidating to say the least.

"I came to take you home baby." He said in a calm and soothing tone but as if the answer was obvious and I was begging him to. I scowled at him as he stepped up a few stairs.

"Lucas you know I'm not coming going back to San Antonio with you. I'm home right now in this house with these boys. You need to leave and move on." I say as calmly as I can.

"Oh Laina, do you know me? We were meant to be together forever and I'm not leaving without you, I still love you." He said closing the space between us, getting dangerously close to me.

"Lucas please just leave. You hurt me. Us not being together is your fault." I say trying to back up.

"NO IT WASN'T DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT." Lucas screamed and grabbed my wrists tight. Flashbacks of Sam from 11 months ago flooded my mind. Lucas gripped tighter every second. I could feel the bruises forming.

"Lucas that hurts." I whisper.

"If you don't come with me you haven't even begun to feel pain." He snarled at me.

"Lucas I said I'm not going back with the person that broke my heart. I don't love you anymore" Those words seemed to make him snap. I instantly regretted saying them.

"I DIDN'T BREAK YOUR HEART STUPID BITCH!" Lucas yelled in my face taking my shoulders in his hands and shoving me onto the ground right in front of the flight of stairs. "YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD DO BETTER THAN ME?" He said tightening his grip on my shoulders. "YOU SHOULD FEEL PRIVILEGED THAT I'M TELLING YOU TO COME BACK WITH ME, NOW GET IN MY CAR." He screamed at me.

"No." I say defiantly. I shouldn't have said anything, because he then takes me by the neck and grips firmly before throwing me down the stairs. I do flips, hitting my head on every uncarpeted stair. My arm snaps underneath me and I cry out in pain. When I reach the bottom of the stair case my head slams against the tile floor and I feel something hot on my head. I'm coughing and choking because of the 2 second death grip Lucas had on my throat. I carefully bring my uninjured arm to my head and touch the warm spot, I wince at the pain and bring my hand so I can see it, the last thing I see is my own blood on my hand before I black out.
