{Chapter Fourteen}

Sam

      I COULDN'T REALLY see Zane well enough to read his expression. But I stayed on the ground, my blurry eyes locked on Zane's figure.

      Declan laughed, "Oh, look who decided to show up." I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see what was about to happen.

      I heard Zane growl, "You fucking-"

      "I've got your girl Zane!" He taunted. "Look at her, what the fuck are you going to do-"

      Declan didn't even get his sentence out before Zane tackled him to the ground. My eyes were still shut, but I heard the two wrestling. I didn't want to look. I couldn't. This was all my fault.

      It was only about 20 or 30 seconds later when they stopped. My eyes shot open. Declan was lying on the ground, flat on his back, not moving. Zane stood above him, panting. Then Zane's eyes shot over to me, widening in such a way that I have never seen before. "Baby!" he quickly ran over. 

      Oh my God, I did not want him to see me like this. I could only begin to imagine how horrible I looked.

      "Sammy, baby," He was leaning over me, trying to pull me into his arms, "Oh my God, what happened? Are you alright?"

      I couldn't let Zane see me like this. With what little strength I had left, I pushed myself away from him. Slowly, I stood. "I, I'm fine."

      "Jesus, Sam. You're bleeding." Zane quickly stood to get a better look at me, and I wiped the blood off my face with the sleeve of my jacket. 

      "I'm okay, I, I swear."

       Zane stared at me for a moment, his eyes glanced down at Declan. "What the fuck happened?"

      I didn't know what to say. Should I tell him? I mean, I can't exactly lie my way out of this. "Zane," I began, "He told me to meet him here-"

      "So you met him? By yourself?"

      I nodded slowly.

       "What the fuck were you thinking?" That is when Zane's warm and caring expression was turned into a cold glare. 

      I almost jumped at the sound of his voice. I have never heard Zane speak in such a tone before, hell, I have never even seen Zane angry. We have not even had our first fight yet.

      "Huh?" His voice was loud, it almost resembled Declan's terrifying voice.

       "He threatened you," I stammered, "I was doing it to protect you-" I knew that Zane wouldn't know what I meant when I said that, but I just wanted him to know that I did it for him. I couldn't let anything bad happen to him.

      "To protect me?! You can't even protect yourself Sam! What would have happened if I didn't show up? Huh?" Zane was shouting by now. "He could have really hurt you! Or worse!"

      I cowered back. Zane has never spoken to me like this before. Not saying I don't deserve it, because I totally did. I was such an idiot for doing what I did, but right now, all I wanted was my boyfriend to hug me and tell me everything was going to be alright.

      "I'm sorry-"

      "Sorry?! Sam I can't believe you are this stupid! You know he could hurt you!" He ran a frustrated hand through his soft black hair. I reached a hand over to touch his shoulder. I just wanted him to hold me, but he jerked away.
