Payback Sucks, So Do You!
Chapter Twenty-Four: Just a Dream?
I do admit, Beck is a really good—great even!—kisser, and it did make me feel better. So after the kiss we went back inside and explained what happened to everyone.
“Oh that’s great!” Maddie exclaimed, wiping tears from her eyes. “That is seriously golden! Remind me to hug your sister next time I see her.”
“Did I ever mention I love you family?” Adora asked.
“Yes, you told me that when you first met them when they were dressed as pirates on Halloween. You went home that night and added them on Facebook.”
“Oh right.” Adora laughed. “Well, anyways Dustin and I are going to head up to bed.”
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.” I shouted after her.
“So I can’t pass math.”
“Have you been taking my sassy pills?” I asked her generally impressed. But she continued on her way. I turned to Beck, “Something’s wrong.”
He jumped up panicked. “What is it?”
“Everyone is picking on me. That’s not what’s supposed to happen. I am supposed to tease you guys.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You should be.” I huffed, crossing my arms and pouting.
Suddenly we heard a noise from outside. I looked at Beck, “Did you hear that?” He nodded and moved towards the door. I followed him.
He looks back at me, “What are you doing?”
“Coming with you.”
“No you’re not.”
Now I was just pissed off, I am horribly appalled by the idea. Did he think I was just some Bella Swan that needed to be protected? The Hell with that! I am a Joan of Arc or Anne Bonny! I don’t need an easily jealous idiot werewolf to protect me. “Yes. I. Am.” I tried to get to out of the door.
He blocked the door. Man! I hate being short! It is so useless!
“Move Beck!”
“I’m trying to keep you safe.”
“Fuck you and your morals.” I tried to push him out of my way.
“I don’t want you to get hurt!”
“Bullshit!” I shouted back at him. I stopped trying to push him and looked at him, “If that was the case you wouldn’t have rejected me! Or left me alone in the woods to get knocked unconscious! You wouldn’t have dated Hanna! I can keep going!”
Guilt flashed through his eyes, I knew I hit him in his weak spot. But he still didn’t budge. “I am trying to be a better mate to you. Don’t you see? I’m trying!”
“Fine, okay? Buy me things! Tell me I’m pretty! Make me food! Don’t force me to sit at home like a nice little girl and tell me you will back soon! Because that isn’t who I am! I don’t wait and defend. I take action and attack! I am not going to sit and wait for you to come and wonder if you are okay! So get the fuck over it!”
He sighed and stepped back, “Fine, but stick close to me.” I kissed him on the cheek and laced our fingers together.
“Thank you.” Then I pulled him out into the night.
From an outsider’s point of view it would have looked like we were a normal couple going for a midnight walk. In reality we were scouting the area for possible threats. This would have gone a lot faster if Beck would let go of my hand and let us split up but he’s Beck.
I heard people talking and saw light from a flashlight and pulled Beck so we were crouched behind a bush. They came closer, so I stepped back but that plan failed when my foot got caught and I moaned as a sharp pain shot up my leg.
“What’s wrong?” Beck asked.
“Pain. No biggy.” I brushed off. Beck pulled out his phone and used it as a flash light.
Oh wow. That’s a lot of blood. Gross.
“It looks like your foot is caught in a hunting trap.”
Why did that sound so familiar?
“Beck you need to run.”
“What?”
“You need to leave me behind.”
“Are you insane?”
“Yes, but that not the point.”
“I can just carry you.”
“So I can bleed all over the forest, leading a trail and causing you to run slower and get us both captured? No.” I reasoned. “You will be faster if you go by yourself. Bring back up, and we will have a better chance.”
“What if I don’t make it back in time? What if they take you?”
“They’ll probably return me after five seconds. I am kind of annoying.” Keep this light; don’t remind him of what could happen when they find you. “You need to hurry. They are practically already here.” He didn’t move. “If you ever want to kiss me again you will get up and run as fast as you can and return with back up. Now go!” He got up and kissed me on the forehead.
“I won’t let them hurt you.” He promised.
I know, I wanted to say. But he had already left. But I didn’t notice the flash of admiration in his eyes. Wtf, is that about? I asked myself. Guys are so weird.
“What do we have here?” A familiar voice asked from behind me. I turned to see a tall blonde muscular guy about my age with blue eyes standing in front of a group of hunters. Oh shit, I thought.
“Axel?”

I'm sorry for not updating in forever! But hopefully I will have the next chapter soon. I have it written just not typed. Also my distraction (my adorable neice) is gone for a month so I will hopefully be able to make more updates this months.
Also, sorry for it being so short. In my notebook it was four and half pages but yeah...anyway!
HOW ABOUT THAT?!?! I brought him back for my lovely Axel fans! (Your welcome) although I highly doubt you will like new Axel. Althought I my self am a HUGE fan of "bad boys" and "villians" so maybe some of you will ike him more.
Do I have any Beck fans? I am curious. Leave a comment if you are. Also, how cute are Beck and Evynne getting into fights and stuff! I just want to hug them! I want little pocket-sized ones I can carry around. Maybe I could sell them. Although I waould have to put warnign labels on Evynne "CAUTION: MAY BITE AND/OR SASS. IS A BAD INFLUENCE ON CHILDREN UNDER 12."
Anyway,
