Thank You For Saving Me

Chapter Twenty Two

Dallas' POV

After school, Miranda and I left to go hunting. Liv has work so she's gonna be busy for a few hours. So right now I'm sinking my teeth into the sweetest thing ever. Miranda is charming her way into anything and everything she can. When I am finished with this girl, I go on to number eight.

"Geez Dallas. Slow down." Miranda says.

"You gotta love the fresh stuff." I say smirking at her.

"Does Liv know?" she asks.

I don't say anything and continue with my snack. She scuffs and I hear her walking away.

"You better tell her." she says.

I ignore her and keep eating.

"I know you hear me Walker. Don't make me tell her." she says.

I take my mouth away from the girls neck and turn around. I find Miranda and go over to her.

"I'll tell her. Now calm down and let's go." I say taking a napkin from the bar and wiping my face.

We walk out the bar and drive back to town. My phone rings and it's Liv.

"Miranda will you answer that?" I ask.

She grabs my phone and puts it on speaker.

"Hey babygirl." I answer.

"Hey baby." Her sweet voice says.

"Hey Liv." Miranda says.

"Hey Ran. What are you guys doing?"

"On our way to your house. How was work?" I ask.

"Good. Well let me know when you guys get here. We are going to the mall so we are taking my car." she says.

"Liv I really-" Miranda starts.

"You should really not try to get out of it. Your going, you may not like it but you're going. See you soon. Love you Dallas. Bye." she says and hangs up.

"That's my girl." I say.

Miranda scuffs and puts my phone back. We drive in silence and pull up to Liv's house. Miranda doesn't move and just stares at the house.

"You'll be okay." I reassure her.

"No I won't. You heard her parents, you heard all the bad stuff they were saying about me. I shouldn't be here Dallas." She says.

"No one should ever be where they are, but they are there anyway." I tell her.

"What the hell does that mean?" she asks.

"That means, you'll get through this. You aren't where you should be but you are where you need to be."

"I fucking hate how you go all Dr. Phil on me. It really pisses me off." she snaps.

"I don't care. Now come on." I say getting out of the car. I hear her growl and she gets out.

We walk up to the door and Liv's Aunt Carol answers. She smiles at me and then her eyes turn soft at Miranda.

"Can I talk to you alone?" she says to her.

She looks at Carol, a flash of fear goes across her eyes and then she masks it and replaces it. She nods and I walk in and the door closes behind me. I see Cyndi and Beau sitting on the couch watching tv. I ignore them and walk up to Liv's room.

Miranda's POV.

Carol sits on the stairs and I sit next to her. No one says anything and I can hear her heart beating so fast. I turn my head away and compose myself. Don't do it Ran. Deep breaths.
