Carter's pov:
After that night Britney came over to Jakes I finally had the courage to talk to her.
I know she's had her fair share with guys which made me jealous and nervous at the same time but for some reason I knew I had to talk to her.
So that's what I did, I went and said hi and once I did that we fell into a deep conversation.
I'm glad I did cause now I'm dating a beautiful girl! That by the way is a virgin just like me :)
I know when you want someone to open up to you, you open up to them so I did that and thankfully she opened up to me too.
To say I was pissed at Pixie is fcuk'n understatement, I could of been dating my beautiful girlfriend since freshman year,
but noooo some careless slut had to stick her 10cents of bitchyness into something that clearly didn't involve her.
Honestly I can't believe Lucas fcuked Pixie but then again he was drunk off his face so he was practically brain dead
"hey babe you okay?" Just hearing her soft angelic voice is getting me all hot and fuzzy,
she comes into view and just like that the anger I had pulsing through my veins has vanished and a huge smile is plastered on my face.
I pull her in for a hug, then tilt her face and softly place my lips upon hers.
Lexi's pov:
Me and Britney have became best friends over the short period of getting to know one another, it's been 3 weeks and her and Carter are officially a couple. I'm so happy for them :)
So far for all the presentations me and the boys are all set to go, just waiting for the final day now and we'll be winning the prizes.
Right now I'm at Jakes with the others and they're begging me to sing them a song, finally giving in I choose to sing 'hello' by adele.
*after singing
Opening my eyes and looking up at the expressions shown on everyone's faces fills me with pride.
All of a sudden I'm squished into Britney's arms followed by the boys.
While I'm hugging Lucas I catch a quick glimpse of Jake walking out the room with the look of hurt and jealousy??
Feeling a tear roll down my face, I press my face into Lucas chest and hold onto him tighter.
This just makes me miss my family so much, I haven't spoken to them in a while.
Lucas notices my sudden change of mood and tries to ask me what's wrong but I refuse to look him in the eyes, not while I'm in tears.
After a while of Lucas trying to get me to say something, he gives up. I hear him sigh, then feel him pick me up and carry me to the couch where he sits and lays me in his lap.
I feel him caressing my head while whispers sweet nothings into my ears while I close my eyes.
Awakening from my sudden outburst, I'm faced with four faces full of worry, and Kaiden with his arms wide open for me to walk in to.
Letting myself relax in his embrace I feel more tears starting to rise. Damn it I really need to talk to my family I miss them so much!
Pushing myself away from Kaiden I walk out the back door and pull my phone out.
*phone call
D: Damon L: Lexi B: Britney
D: hey Lexibear it's been a while....wait Lexi are you okay... Lexi are you crying? Lexi dammit talk to me! I've missed his voice so much, a soft sob escapes my mouth.
D: Lexi please talk to me, tell me what's wrong. Do you want me to come get you? Dam why am I so emotional! Ughhh taking a few deep breaths I reply back to Damon in barely a whisper
L: Ddddamon, I mmmiss you gguys so muuchh! I need you guys here with me! I say with honesty
D: Lexibear it's okay, just breath! Lexi I need you to calm down okay, we can't have you losing your temper okay Lexi I try calming myself down, knowing he's right.
What people don't know, apart from my family is, once I get upset, it only last for a good 20 minutes before all my emotions resurfaces and disappears, leaving me with emptiness.
There's only a handful of people who can calm me down before I lose myself to darkness, but only one person could bring me back when I became emotionless.
L: I'm trying Damon I really am i say with anger rising in me
D: Lexi where are you, give the phone to some one now! Hearing Damon's demand increases my anger, I hate it when people demand something of me,
gripping my phone I storm back inside the house and hand the phone to Britney
L: I've given the phone to my friend Britney everyone stands shock due to the seriousness in my voice and I watched Britney as her face paled
D: hello Britney, I'm Lexi brother I need you to do me a big favor okay
B: uhh ookay, what do you want me to do....
Jake's pov:
I really like Lexi, damn I think I may be falling for her, wait actually scratch that! I am in love with her.
She's just so perfect in every way and I want her to be mine and that's when it comes down to the hard part.
Lucas managed to find out who she was texting and guess what he found out? Sam was short for Sammy!
Who is her bestfriend/older sister, that just made me feel so bloody stupid but, It made me so happy to know she's single.
Which does fit in her category, I mean well she's a nerd, a beautiful one and she just seems so fragile sometimes and
I'm hoping that she's never had a boyfriend and I get to be her first, which is a good thing for me because damn I'll be hella jealous of she did.
We're currently at mine at the boys and I are begging her to sing, I couldn't help but feel slightly Jealous that Britney and qthe twins have heard her sing before me but that just made me want to be with her more. She finally gave into us and started singing
Woooooooow!!! me and the boys sat back and stare at her in awe, her voice is amazing.
The whole time I stood there paralyzed, I was so transfixed that I barely saw the smirk Britney,
Carter and the twins were sending me, damn you! those idiots! I probably look like a fcuk'n tomatoe!!!
When the song came to a end, Britney ran up to her and pulled her into a bone crushing hug.
The boys were next in line giving her hugs and compliments and I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy run through me, so I walked out of the room and leant against the wall.
Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turned around and was a little disappointed that it wasn't Lexi,
but put on a smile when I came face to face with Britney. Looking down at the girl that stole my brothers heart, made my smile bigger.
If it wasn't for Lexi we wouldn't have gotten the truth. Now we know that everything Pixie said was a lie and that half the boys at school are fcuk'n bullshit artist!!!
"Hey Jake, you okay? what's up?" Now I actually understand what Carter sees in her, she really is sweet, I'm happy Carter has her!
Nodding my head yes, I try to give her a convincing smile but she sees right through it "Jake I know you're lying to me! Common what's this little tantrum about?"
Damn there's that little smirk of hers again! Argh I knew Carter was going to tell her, bloody big mouth! Snapping back into reality I see Britney chuckling. WTF??
"Actually no, Carter didn't tell me" wait what? Did I say that at loud? "Yep you did" feeling my checks redden, I mentally kick myself, that's just terrific, Britney probably thinks I'm bloody nutter!
Turning my attention back to Britney I tell her I'm fine and just needed air. I totally thought it was a smooth lie until she clipped me over the head, oh damn Carter you got a CRAZY one.
Glaring back down at her I was about say something but she quickly cuts me off saying with a smile "you're in love with Lexi, Jake! Trust me no one had to tell me because you already did"
ayyyy when did I tell her? I'm pretty sure i didn't tell anyone else apart from my boys?
"You told me with your eyes Jake. The way you look at her and your eyes lighten up from their usual darkened color,
the way you look at her with so much care and they way you look at her with so much love"
everything she was saying is true, closing my eyes I let my body slide down the wall till I hit the floor in a big thump.
Feeling bigger hands on my shoulder, I look up and see my brother staring at me with worry.
Britney gets up and heads back to the lounge leaving me and Carter in comfortable silence, breaking that silence.
Carter tells me the mistake he made in not talking to Britney all those years ago, if he'd just spoken to her,
she would of been his at the start but he let his pride and all the rumors get to him.
Knowing where he was getting at I nod my head in understanding. I have to talk to Lexi and tell her how I feel, cause if I don't, I could lose her.
We head in to the lounge and see everyone's face with worry and Britney in the brink of spilling tears. Looking around the room I notice Lexi isn't here? Wait did she leave?
I look at Lucas and ask him where Lexi is, when all of the sudden we hear the back door slam open and hear fast pace foot steps making its way into the Lounge.
Coming into full view is a anxious looking Lexi holding the phone out to Britney.
Britney grabs the phone and starts nodding along with who ever's speaking on the other side.
I can see Carter staring at the phone with curiosity so I walk over placing a hand on his shoulder before walking over to Lexi.
I was about to pull her in for a hug but she moved back and told Britney she'll be waiting in the car.
Feeling a little hurt from her rejection I ran after her only to be stopped by panicking Britney "no Stop Jake! You're only going to set her off! Non of you guys follow us okay, I'll text you after I calm her down"
she turns to Carter placing a small peck on his lips before running out with the phone in her hands.
Looking at the boys, I give them the look and wait for them to explain everything to me.
After the boys explained everything to me I was so jealous that Lexi was crying in Lucas arms when she should have been in mine!
But the jealousy soon faded away when I realized that she was crying.
Panicking I thought she was crying about me but Lucas shook his had saying it was something more than that.
Brody told me I should talk to her and maybe invite her to my match tonight, damn I totally forgot about my fight tonight. I pick up my phone sending a message to Lexi,
the fight isn't until 10pm and right now it's only 5pm so hopefully Brit can calm her in time, even though I want to be the one there for her.
*1hr before the fight
I got a text from Lexi saying she'll be over at mine In 15mins with Britney
Britney's pov:
I moved in with Lexi about a week ago and I love it, she also got me a part time job at her grandparents dinner so I was able to chip in for grocerys, not like we needed much since we were either at the dinners or Jakes.
Pulling into our parking space, I race after Lexi as she sets if to our apartment.
Still listening to the Damon person on the phone he tells me to let Lexi be, she needs space and needs to let her frustration and anger out.
I didn't quite understand what he meant by 'let Lexi be' and the whole 'anger' and 'frustration' because all I saw in Lexi was worry.
Coming back to reality I hear a bit of a conflict on the other side of the phone, I couldn't make out what they were saying or who other than Damon was talking.
Hearing another commotion start I hesitate on whether I should say something like 'hello I can hear you guys' or 'is everything okay'
still thinking of what to say a women's voice comes through the phone and you could hear the panic and worry coming off her voice
"hello is Lexi okay" "where is she" "what happened" "is she hurt" every time I was about to answer her question she kept cutting me off.
Damn now I know what the twins feel like when I cut them off every time they're about to speak.
"Sam calm down, I've talked Britney through of getting Lexi back home and into her zone, you haven't even let the poor girl answer you without interrupting her"
I take that as my cue and introduce myself to Sam which I'm pretty sure is Lexi older sister and I answer a few question she sends my way.
We continue speaking for another half an hour and I hear her and a bunch of other guys thank me for being a good friend to Lexi.
I smile at the thought of me and Lexi being best friends so I say with all honesty
"Lexi has truly been the best friend I could have ever asked for, so I thank you for letting me be apart of her life"
we ended the call when Damon said she should be calming down by now.
Putting Lexi phone on charger I walk pass her room and wonder what she's doing.
When I walk past it I couldn't hear anything so pushed her door open thinking of the worst but when I walked in to her empty room,
suddenly I hear a sound of a punching bag thrown around echoing behind her book shelf, curious as to what is behind it I push it slightly
and see a chick covered in tattoos with a smoking hot body swinging punches one after another.
Every punch she lands making me cringe from the power and strength she has.
I was to lost into thought, I didn't notice she stopped what she was doing and turned around.
When she turned around my jaw hit the cold floor. I couldn't believe it, Lexi was the chick covered in tattoos,
Lexi was the chick punching the living shit out if the punching bag!
Everything finally making sense to me, the reason why Damon needed me to get Lexi away from everyone and in her 'zone'
damn if she exploded back at Jakes she probably would if put them all into hospital.
I'm just saying I know my boyfriend can fight, he let me go to one of his matches but honestly Lexi's better and fcuk'n scarier.
Turning my attention back to Lexi I see her sitting on the chair with her head down and her hands over her face.
After listening to Lexi, while she poured her heart out to me I felt so much pain for her,
although some of the decisions she made was seriously scary and hard for me to get my head around it,
I assured Lexi that I'll always be here for her no matter what and held her in my arms as she cried.
Jake's pov:
* at the fight
"Go baby, knock'em out!" Me and the boys chuckle at Britney's encouraging words. "Yeah! That's my man! Wahoo my baby won!"
Once Carter stepped outside the cage Britney was by his side checking over his bruises, you could see the hurt and concern in her eyes when she ran her hand over them.
Carter sensed her sudden change of mood and brought her in for hug, placing a kiss on top of her head. I watch along with the others as he wiped her tears and picked her up,
carrying her over to where we were seated and takes a seat next to Lexi leaving Britney in his lap. Aww that so cute!
Getting ready for my fight I stand up making my way over to the cage. I see my opponent checking Lexi out? WTF?
Dude she's mine keep your fcuk'n eyes to yourself! Pfft This guy!!! "You're going down Blackwood" I scoff at his attempt to intimidate me "haha good luck with that"
I laugh more knowing I've pissed him off. He makes a run at me but I move to the left and stick my foot out causing him to fall flat on his face.
Turning around, I'm now facing a very angry bull, I mean if this guy was in cartoon right now you'd see steam shooting out through his ears.
I watch him jump up and try to jab me in the face but I dodge it easily and upper cut him.
He stumbles back a little but composes himself, This seems to piss him off even more as he starts throwing lazy punches at me, out of no where I feel a sharp pain just above my waist line looking down I see myself bleeding.
The stupid fcuker stabbed me. My vision started to blur when suddenly I hear my beautiful girl yelling at me to get up.
Gathering every bit of strength I have left I push him off me and knee him in the stomach, feeling satisfied when I hear the cracking noise,
I continue to throw punches to his face until I see his body hit the floor. Immediately the crowd goes wild cheering my name.
I lazily step out the cage and make my way into Lexi's welcoming arms. My eyes were at constant battle with each other,
fighting to keep my eyes open. The last thing I remember was Lexi yelling at me to open my eyes.
Lucas pov:
"Fcuk he stabbed Jake! Fcuk" I stare at my brother crouching on the floor when I see Lexi run up to the cage and yell at Jake to get up.
I see the twins trying to pull her away but to only get stopped by Britney? Rushing over to them I grab Lexi as Carter pulls Britney away and into his arms.
I feel Lexi tremble in my arms muttering words I couldn't really make out what she was saying.
Out of no where we watch Jake in one swift move jump up kneeing the asshole in the stomach, I'm pretty sure that was his ribs that I heard crack.
Within seconds Jakes throwing punches non stop till the last punch to his opponents head knocks him out cold, leaving his body motionless on the now bloodied floor.
Somehow Lexi broke out of my hold and was now on the floor holding an unconscious Jake in her arms, The twins picked him up and I carried Lexi to the car.
On our way back to Jakes I hear her whispering things to herself "please not again" wtf is that supposed to mean.
Finally arriving at Jakes the boys carry him into the house with Lexi hot on their trail.
Luckily Jakes mum and step dad are away on a business trip we don't have to worry about answering questions.
I watch as Lexi pushes the twins aside and orders them to get a whole bunch of stuff, she instructs Carter on putting pressure on Jakes wound.
Everyone comes back with their hands full, placing all the items on the coffee table.
Lexi cleans her hand with sanitizer and for a few seconds bows her head with her hands closed together.
After what ever she was doing she places the knife in to the bowl of, by the looks of it boiling water and lights a candle?
Wtf she need to light a candle for? this shit ain't romantic, we all watch with curiosity.
Jake kept going in and out of sleep so Lexi told the twins to hold him down
while she pours the vodka on his wound.
Using her left hand she grabs the clean cloth and puts enough pressure on the wound to slow down the bleeding,
with her right hand she grabs the knife and holds it above the lit candle, flipping it over each side every once in a while.
After about a few minutes she brings the knife down to his wound and holds it in place while Jake started moving.
Jake falls back into another slumber of sleep and Lexi tells the boys to lay him on the couch.
I see her whisper something into Carter's ear and he takes off into the direction of Jakes room with Britney right beside him,
I see Brody head off to the kitchen, I swear that boy isn't human with the amount if food he eats.
I soon find myself walking into Lexi's direction with so many questions waiting to be answered.
Finally reaching her I place my hand on her shoulder and watch her whole body tense before turning around to face me,
once she sees me her whole body relaxes and she puts her walls down in defeat, oh no please don't cry I hate it when she cries, it's makes me feel bad.
I care for Lexi likes she's my younger sister. Pulling her in for a hug I tell her everything's going to be okay that she saved his life.
She pulls away and sits on the floor beside the couch, I take this as a chance to get answers, "Lexi where did you learn that from, I mean like how did you learn how to do those things?"
I see a tint of pain flash through her eyes before she covers it with worry? Hmmm something don't add up.
Waiting for her reply she tells me she's read it somewhere in a book, before I was able to reply Carter and Britney come back with pillows and blankets, while Brody walks in with his arm full of food. Well looks like we're having a sleep over.
Jake's pov:
* next day
Damn what the fcuk happened last night, ugh shit did I get stabbed? I try to move my body but every time I did pain erupts from my waist.
Feeling weight on my leg I open my eyes and see Lexi's arm resting on them. I immediately stop moving so I don't wake her but that isn't the only reason why I stopped,
her sleeve had risen up her arm and she had a tattoo? Okay no it's not a tattoo I'm just hallucinating right?
Breaking out of thought I see Lexi waking up, she looks down at the others on the floor - wait what? when did that happen, ugh they had a sleep over with me out cold! That's no fair
"good morning Jake, how you feeling?" Concern written every where in her voice and face "honestly, a bit sore but I'm okay"
I see tears at the edge of her eyes and I quickly grab her pulling her into my chest, ignoring the pain spreading like fire, "hey Babygirl I'm fine, I'm okay" she let's out a whimper before replying
"but you could of died, I was scarred you weren't" I cut her off before she can finish that sentence "but I didn't okay Lexi, I'm right here"
kissing the top of her head I have one question running through mind that's been there for the whole week, it's now or never Jake.
Taking deep breaths I look Lexi in the eyes while saying "Lexi will you be my girlfriend?"
Hope this is okay :) hope everyone's have a great weekend
