"Just stop." He groaned, tugging on his hair. "Why? I deserve answers!" I shouted at him. His blonde hair got in the way of his eyes, only letting me see half of his chocolate irises. "Did you give me answers?" he shouted back. "That's not fair." I pointed towards him. "Kitten, life isn't fair. You think I wanted this? No, I had to help my family somehow." "But their fine now, so what's the big deal?!" I roared. "The big deal is that I don't want to get you involved because they would hurt you!" "Who? Ross," I breathed, "Who would hurt me?" This time, he chuckled, like it was a joke. "I'm waist deep in my own shit, babe." He laughed. "Then get out of it." "I can't!" he stood inches from me, his face in mine. "If I pull out, my family will get hurt. And will you." "So?" A frown came onto my face. "If I get hurt, I get hurt. That's how life is." "But you can't get hurt because I love you!" he shouted, his arms straight out by his sides. My eyes went wide, my jaw almost dropped to the floor. The heart in my chest stopped beating. A smile broke onto his face, his arms dropping. "I fucking love you." He walked toward me. "But if they hurt you, that will be it for me." He said grabbing my face in-between his hands. "Without you, I'd be nothing. Just an empty host with no soul to give me feelings." I grabbed his hands that were on my face, gently rubbing the back of them. Ross looked down at me with adoration. "I can't lose you." He breathed, his forehead touching mine. "Then let me fight for you." ------------- Zenas White and Ross Lynch were the 'it couple' at high school. The used to be bad boy suddenly changed after a bet he made with his best friend, now enemy, which made him fall for Zenas.
