and hugged me. Jasmine had tears in her eyes.

I smiled at her, “What’s wrong?”

“My son is a disappointment.” She mumbled wiping the tears that fell

I didn’t know how to respond to that so I just stayed silent. Jimmy came over to me with tears in his eyes.

I laughed, “You’re a hot mess.”

He looked appalled, “Me? We need a mirror over here! This girl thinks I’m the hot mess. I’m sexy.”

“Suuure.” I laughed

He hugged me and kissed my cheek. I hugged him back, “Okay, enough with the mushy stuff. I need some peanut butter cookies.”

They all laughed as we started walking back to the house.

“Why weren’t you fighting back?” Derek asked quietly as he scowled at the ground

I shrugged, “Why would I?”

He looked at me, “You have people that love you. You’d just die and leave them?”

“Beating me wasn’t going to kill me. I can’t die.” I stated looking up at him

“Yes, you can. They could’ve cut your head off or something.” He snarled

“They can’t do that! I’m under the Royals’ protection.” I laughed

“Oh…” He trailed off

I nodded, “Yeah.”

We turned onto the street that the house was on and I didn’t want to go in there. Call me a coward but I did not want to see Kyle yet.

Even after he did what he did…I still love him. Is that bad?

We walked up the driveway and I saw the door wide open. Then, I saw Benji on the floor with blood on his shirt.

Panicking, I started to run. I ran into the house and knelt beside Benji. I saw Kyle a little away, with blood on his shirt too. I saw pain and regret flash through his eyes as he looked at me.

I quickly looked away and looked back at Benji.

“What’s wrong?” I asked

“We felt your pain.” He whispered

I lifted his shirt and saw the same knife holes that were on my stomach. Looking at him fully, I saw his bruised face.

I set my hand on his stomach and pushed energy into it. That made me more exhausted. I did it again, until the holes were gone.

“I use my power on you a lot, Benjamin Toyley.” I chuckled

He smiled and sat up. He looked over at Kyle and glared in hatred. I slowly stood up and walked over to Kyle. He looked up at me as I knelt down beside him.

I looked away from his eyes and lifted his shirt. I set my hand on him stomach, ignoring the tingles that shot up my arm. I closed my eyes and pushed energy into it.

“Kelsey.” He said quietly

I opened my eyes and closed them, pushing more power into him.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered in a broken voice

I opened my eyes and nodded, standing up. Benji pulled me to his chest and away from Kyle.

Everyone followed, leaving Kyle in the doorway, looking broken. That broken look on his face made my heart break even more.

Benji pulled me beside him on the couch and Ali onto his lap. Declan sat next to me and smiled slightly.

“I need peanut butter cookies.” I sighed standing up

They all shook their heads and chuckled as I walked into the kitchen. Kyle was leaning against the counter with his head in his hands.

Ignoring him, I walked to the table, grabbing the cookies and skittles.

“Kelsey…” Kyle whispered

I turned around and looked at my feet, not wanting to meet his eyes. “What?”

I saw him flinched from the coldness of my voice, “I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t mean too. I swear. I love you.” He sounded so…sad

I looked up and saw tears running down his face, “Sorry doesn’t cut it, Kyle.”

He nodded, “I-I know. But…tell me a way I can fix this. Please.”

I shook my head, “I’m not going to help you fix your mistake. You made it, you fix it.”

A sob escaped his lips, “I’m so sorry.”

I shrugged, “It is what it is. I’m over it.”

His eyes widened and his bottom lip quivered, “Over it? Over what? Us?”

Again, I shrugged. “I don’t know, Kyle.”

He took a deep breath and looked at the wall, “Okay. I understand.”

I smiled slightly, “Good.”

I started walking out when he grabbed my wrist. I yanked my wrist out of his grip, trying to get away from the feelings he gave me.

“I j-just want you to know that I’m s-sorry. And that I love.” He looked into my eyes

“I know you’re sorry.” I nodded

He looked hurt that, that was all I said. He was expecting me to say I love him back. It’s not happenin’ like that playa.

“Really sorry.” His chest was rapidly falling up and down and he started to look a little green

“I know, Kyle. You don’t have to keep telling me how sorry you are. I know, okay? It still doesn’t change what you did. What you did was disrespectful, embarrassing, and hurtful. The fact that you so quickly excepted her as your ‘mate’. I would never do that to you, Kyle. So for you to so easy do it to me…I don’t even know what to think.” I chuckled humorlessly

He winced and looked at the ground, “I know you wouldn’t do that to me. I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“Honestly, neither do I.” I shrugged, “But, whatever.”

“What can I do?” He begged, more tears falling

“Give me time.” I said walking out

Again, he caught me by my wrist. He opened his mouth to speak when a threatening growl erupted in the room.

I looked over at the door and saw a furious Benji, glaring at Kyle’s hand on my wrist.

“Let her the fuck go.” He snarled, his bright blue eyes had gone black, emotionless besides anger

Kyle squeezed my wrist before letting go, stepping away. Benji pulled me to him and glared at Kyle.

“Stay away from her.” Benji growled

I looked up at him, shocked by how mad he was.

“She’s my mate.” Kyle whimpered

Benji put on a surprised face, “Really? So when the blonde bimbo was in front of you, she was still your mate. You don’t treat your mate like that, Kyle. You don’t treat anyone like that.” He hissed dragging me out of the kitchen

He practically threw me on the couch and plopped won beside me, stiff as a pole. Ali looked at him worriedly then at me. I shrugged and she sighed.

“You’re staying in my room tonight.” He stated, not even asking

I scoffed, “With you and Ali getting your freak on. No thanks.”

They all laughed, Ali blush (Of course) but Benji’s face remained the same, cold.

“Wasn’t an option.” He said in a fierce voice

“I’ll sleep in Justin’s room.” I said, ignoring him

His head whipped to me, “You. Are staying. In my. Fucking. Room.”

Everyone stared at him in shock. My eyes narrowed, “We’ll see.”

He shrugged, “I’ll drag you.”

The tone of voice he used made me realize he actually would drag me to his room.

“Not if you can’t find me.” I said childishly as I jumped up from the couch

I started running, only to be thrown over a shoulder three seconds later.

“Damn.” I muttered

Everyone laughed and Benji started walking up stairs, dragging Ali behind us.

Benji pushed open a door and threw me on the bed. I bounced and glared at him until I stopped.

“Ass.” I hissed

He shrugged, “Call me what you want.”

“Dick.” I glared, “Shit-face. Moron. Idiotic baboon. Douche. Dumb-” He cut me off by slapping his hand over my mouth

“Didn’t mean call me ever word that comes to your mind.” He said amused

I nodded and he let go. “Dumb-ass.”

He shot me a look and I smirked, laying down like a starfish.

“I’m not staying in here.” I said closing my eyes

“Yes, you are.” Benji shrugged walking out, closing the door behind him

Ali shot me a sympathetic look.

“Don’t look at me like that.” I glared

“Sorry.” She smiled sheepishly

Nodding, I stood up. “I’ll see you later.”

“Where are you going?” She asked

I lifted up the window, “Justin’s room.”

“Bye.” She laughed

I waved and climbed out the window. Looking down, I began to get nervous. Why the hell does his room have to be on the second floor?!

I growled lowly and walked over to the window next to Benji’s that happened to be Derek’s. I knocked on the window. He jumped up, into a fighting stance. I laughed as he glared at me.

He came over and opened the window, “What the hell?”

I pushed him and climbed through the window, shutting it after me.

“Lock your door.” I ordered

“Why?” He asked walking over to it

“So Benji can’t get in.” I said laying down on his bed

He nodded and locked it. He walked over and sat down.

“You okay?” He frowned

I nodded and lied, “Perfect.”

“Liar.” He rolled his eyes and laid down

“Not lying.” I closed my eyes

I felt him shrug. I interlocked my hands behind my head and started humming Bedrock by Young Money.

A loud banging sounded at the door.

“Kelsey Elaine Montgomery! Open this fucking door. NOW!” Benji yelled

I put my finger to my lips, “I’m not here.”

Derek rolled his eyes, “Kelsey’s not in here!”

“Then where is she?!” Benji growled

“I think she’s in Blake’s room!” Derek smirked

“Oh…sorry, Der.” Benji muttered and walked away

“Thank you.” I grinned, closing my eyes again

“No problem.” He yawned

“I need pajamas. Give me some.” I ordered sitting up

“Psh. I don’t take orders.” He scoffed, not moving an inch

I pushed him off the bed, “Now.”

He groaned and pushed himself off the floor, jumping up. “Jerk.”

“Yes, I am.” I puffed my chest out proudly

He rolled his eyes again and went over to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of short with a draw-string and a big t-shirt. He threw them at me and pointed towards a door, “Bathroom.”

I got up and skipped over to the bathroom, humming. I shut the door and stripped out of my clothes, putting on Derek’s.

I opened the door and froze, standing in the middle of the room with his arms crossed over his chest was the smirking Benji.

My mouth formed an O, “Wazzup?”

He rolled his eyes, “My room. Now.”

“You’ll never catch me coppers!” I yelled running past him

“Kelsey!” He yelled running after me

Derek is a traitor that shall never be forgiven! Ever!

“Help meh!” I yelled flailing my arms around as I ran down the stairs

“Kelsey!” Benji groaned reaching out to me

I jumped off the fourth step up and landed on my feet.

“Help!” I screamed

I scrambled into the kitchen and ran around the center island, creating a barrier between Benji and I.

“Ha ha.” I teased as he stopped on the other side of the island

He panted, “Get up stairs.”

“Mmmm. Let me think about it…NO!” I yelled smirking

He glared, “Now.”

“Ah, ah, ah. Don’t get angry with me, Benji-Boy.” I wagged my finger

Everyone was in the kitchen, looking at us. I saw Kyle behind everybody. He was still a little sick looking. I quickly looked away from him and back at Benji.

“Why are you so difficult?!” Benji asked aggravated

“It’s a gift.” I smirked

I started playing with the draw-string on the short.

“Look at this!” I smiled lifting it up to show everyone

Benji growled, “Get. Upstairs.”

I shook my head, “Nope. I like it down here. It’s so…purtty.”

Jasmine laughed, “Leave her alone, Benjamin. She doesn’t want to stay in your room for the rest of her life.”

“Thank you! At least someone understands!” I grinned

Benji sighed, “Fine.”

“Now, where did I put my cookies and skittles?” I frowned looking around

They were by Kyle. Fate is out to get me!

I slowly walked over to get them, keeping my eyes on the ground. I could feel everyone watching me.

I grabbed them and turned around but someone’s hand was on my shoulder, stopping me. By the tingles and sparks that went through my body I already knew who is was.

I closed my eyes, “What do you want, Kyle?”

“I’m sorry, Kelsey.” He whispered

I pulled away from him and turned around, facing him. “I. Know. You. Are. Doesn’t change anything

.”

He whimpered and ran away, up the stairs and out of sight. I stared after him for…I don’t even know how long.

“Kelsey…?”
