Please review =) Make it all worth while writing these stories when I hear what my readers have to say.

Chapter 10: Scared.

Brax P.O.V

I sat there on Charlie's bed flickering through the latest Cosmopolitan magazine waiting for Charlie to get out of the bathroom, she had been in there for ages getting ready, I'm so glad I'm not a chick. After reading most of the sealed section and sex stories, which was extremely amusing, the bathroom door finally opened and out stepped my girlfriend. She was wearing this tiny red dress, fitted her so well made her arse look great, although that wasn't hard to do, with black high heels. Her hair was down as usual and she walked over to her wall length mirror. I got up and walked over to her before wrapping my arms around her and kissing her cheek.

"You look beautiful. Let's go." I said as I grabbed her hand and began leading her to the door, she dropped my hand and grabbed a box.

"I haven't done my make-up; I'll be done in 5 minutes." She protested, five minutes my arse, she may say 5 minutes but in reality it's actually going to be 15. I walked over and sat on her drawer, watching her apply her make-up. I was amazed at how much trouble they went to look good for us guys, I mean getting a pencil and drawing on your bottom eye lid rim, that has got to hurt, how did she not manage to lose an eye? It was beyond my thoughts.

I walked hand in hand with Charlie, with Matt on my other side, surprisingly he was taking this quite well better, than I expected. The 'Welcoming School Back' party was held in the school hall, and seeing it was a school function, there was no alcohol and it was riddled with teachers. Most the time I only went to see what new girls were coming to school, but this time I was basically just going to claim my territory, show all the new blokes that Charlie was in fact taken. Kind of selfish I know but I can't help but be a little bit protective, I'm not going to be one of those guys who see their girl talking to a guy and gets all jealous, I'm not like that. I just won't tolerate the guy trying to get into my girlfriends pants.

The hall was covered in streamers and helium balloons were dangling from the roof, music was pumping from the stage where one of the teacher's was controlling it. I scanned the room looking for particular people, the River Boys, I saw them over by one of the roller doors, I walked over towards them, still hand in hand with Charlie and Matt was trailing close behind.

Matt P.O.V

I trailed behind Brax and Charlie, felt kind of awkward walking beside them because they were holding hands, so I decided to walk behind. When we reached the boys Brax dropped her hand and greeted the boys with his usual man type hug, or basically just a slap on the back, I walked up beside Charlie and stood there with her. Shortly after Brax came back and put his arm around her waist, which was my cue to leave, so I walked over to Brody and leant up against the wall with him.

"So Brax and your sister?" He asked. Pretty stupid question if you ask me, I don't think Brax would have his arm around Charlie if they weren't together.

"Um, yeah I guess so..." I replied back, trying not to sound smart.

"Isn't it awkward?" He asked again.

"No not really, why would it be?" I asked kind of confused on why he would think that.

"Awkward to know that your best mate is fucking your sister?"

"No it's not. Charlie wouldn't have let him, not yet anyway. She isn't the typical River Boy girlfriend, my sister actually has morals, and it would take her longer than 3 weeks to let him have sex with her." I nearly snapped back, but I tried to keep cool, calm and collected. Because if these boys knew that this bothered me I'd never hear the end of it.

"Your sister sounds like a virgin." He laughed and looked at me, I had a straight face. "Wait, she's a virgin!" He almost screamed.

"Shut up you dickhead don't just go yelling that out loud or anything!" I whispered under my voice.

"Shit, this makes her ten times hotter, to think a girl as hot as her is a virgin." He awed, I hit his shoulder and walked away, going to find someone with more than half a brain to talk to.

Brax P.O.V

I was leaning back against the bricks with the boys, Charlie had disappeared and was somewhere in the crowd with her friends.

"So mate you finally got her to give in?" Sam asked, I had told Sam that I was interested in her but I didn't think it would really matter if I hadn't it was obvious that I wanted her.

"Yeah, I guess I have." I smiled, looking for her in the crowd.

"Have you met her father yet?" He asked.

"No I haven't. He nearly busted us the other day." I said, remembering the day like it was yesterday.

"What bumping uglies? That would have been awkward." He said, why does everyone think we have had sex, I don't get it.

"No, we haven't done that yet. Just making out on the couch, I had no shirt on and we heard him at the door so I took off up stairs and hid under her bed." I laughed.

"That would have been a great first impression."

"Yeah you're telling me."

I saw Charlie in the crowd, surrounded by her friends, her and Leah then started to walk towards the drink stall, when they were approached by the footy team.

Charlie P.O.V

I was standing by the drinks stall waiting to get served when I felt something behind me, I turned around to see the football team and one other guy that I don't remember seeing before, he must be new.

"Hey Charlie." Nathan said, the team captain of the school's footy team. He was very tall, well built, really nice, but not very attractive.

"Hey Nath." I reply with a smile.

"So you care to join me on the dance floor?" Asked Jack, one of the more attractive boys, he was only asking me, completely ignoring Leah.

"Um, no I can't but Leah can." I said, as I put a hand behind Leah's back and pushed her forward. He grabbed Leah's hand and began to move onto the dance floor; I watched the rest of the boys pick up chicks and led them onto the dance floor. I stood there watching them, I was never much for a dancer, not when I was sober anyway, I seemed to dance better when I was under the influence, I didn't trip as much, surprisingly.

I felt a hand behind me and I looked up to see a tall attractive guy staring down at me, obviously a football player, big arms, muscular legs, and tan, and obviously cocky.

"Not much of a dancer?" He questioned, I've never seen this guy before, so it led me to believe he was new.

"No, not while I'm sober." I laughed.

"I'm Tyler, Nathan's cousin, just moved here from Queensland."

"I'm Charlie." I smiled.

"You sure you don't want to dance... I'm a pretty good dancer." He said. Now I actually don't think he was cocky, he was nice, great personality, bubbly and not pushy like many other footy players.

"No, I'll be right here watching. Why don't you get out there?" I asked.

"I need a girl to dance with, it will look weird just me out there by myself." He laughed.

"There are girls over there." I pointed towards the bitchy group of girls, funny thing is most high school stereotypes say the pretty girls are the pretty ones but in this case it couldn't be more different. These girls weren't pretty, caked in make-up trying to cover their pimples but only making it worse by clogging their paws with cosmetics, short round legs, and tiny dresses that didn't suit their body shape. Don't get me wrong, big girls can be beautiful but not when they were stripper short clothing.

He snickered, I just laughed more. "I need a pretty girl to dance with, one like yourself. Come on I won't let you fall." He smiled.

Tyler P.O.V

This girl was pretty, gorgeous face, amazing blue eyes, she was tall and fit, but she had the curves that every guy wants to see, she was hot. Nathan was right, this school had some pretty hot chicks, and she was included. I could see she was shy, and scared when it came to dancing, made her seem even cuter.

"I can't" She replied.

"Can't or won't?" I asked.

"Both, see the guy over there, the one leaning up against the bricks?" She asked. I followed her gaze; he was tall, extremely muscley and looking in this direction.

"The tall, muscley one?" I asked.

"Yeah, that's my boyfriend. It was nice talking to you Tyler; maybe I'll see you around sometime." She finished before walking away. I smiled.

Brax P.O.V

I watched this guy, hit on my girlfriend, although I said I wasn't the jealous type I could still feel a tinge of jealously within me. He had his arm behind her 'leaning' on it, I watched him talk her up but luckily she soon said her goodbyes and walked away from him. She walked over to me with a smile on her face before she kissed me once, I saw him watching so I didn't let her give up I kissed her more passionately before grabbing her and pulling her into my body, her hands were up against my chest.

She let off a cute little giggle. "What was that for?" She asked, mumbling against my chest.

"No reason." I smiled down at her.

"Oh so it's not because you saw that guy chatting me up?" She asked sweety, I tightened my arms around her, she giggled more. "Knew it, aw Brax you're so cute, getting all protective and jealous." She laughed and wrapped my arms around my body before grabbing my arse.

"Mr Braxton and Ms Buckton please no public displays of affection on school grounds." Mr Mason said as he walked on by. She broke away from me and was obviously quite embarrassed, blushing.

"I love that." I said, looking at her cute little red cheeks.

"What Mr Mason!" She blurted out, quite confused and worried.

"NO! No you idiot, I meant how you blush. Gosh Charlie you'll drive a man to drink one day." I laughed, as I pulled her into my chest and wrapped my arms around her.

"No public displays of affection, Mr Braxton." Mr Mason stopped in front of us this time. I held my arms out so I was no longer hugging Charlie, but had her against my chest. "1 foot away." He added, geez he was being pushy tonight, I was hugging her, not fondling her. I stepped away from her, she was looking down, she was shy I bet her cheeks were so red and hot, I half snickered thinking about it. He began to walk away before I grabbed Charlie's hand and squeezed it, she looked up and I was right her cheeks were red, I kissed her once on the lips before dragging her onto the dance floor.

Charlie P.O.V

I was on the middle of the dance floor with my girls, I had been dancing with Brax but he started mucking around with his mates so I went where it was tamer. I was dancing around on the floor with the girls when I felt two big hands wrap around my waist from behind and pulled me into his body.

"Brax..." I squealed, he responded by pressing his groin into my butt. Dirty dancing, I began to giggle wasn't too sure this was appropriate. I turned around and naturally wrapped my arms around his neck, looking at his feet, I couldn't look in his eyes, he would see me blushing. I noticed his shoes, they were converses... Hang on Brax wasn't wearing converse's... I looked up to see he was in long black dress pants and a white shirt; lastly I looked at his face. I jumped back, that isn't Brax I thought to myself. I backed away from him, completely in shock, I just let some random basically dry hump me.

"Aw I didn't mean to scare you." The mystery guy said.

"You didn't scare me; I just thought you were someone else." I said as I began to walk away, he grabbed me wrist lightly.

"Come on, we were having fun, I'm a pretty fun guy, you can ask around." He laughed, before pulling me slightly back into him.

"No thanks." I went to pull away but he still held on and gripped harder. "Let go." I said as I tried to yank my arm free.

"Come on, a pretty thing like you should be good at dancing. Just one song."

"No, I have a boyfriend." I nearly snapped back.

"Oldest trick in the book." He laughed and pulled me in close. Then suddenly Tyler stepped in and pushed him.

"Mate, she says she doesn't want to." He sneered. I looked up with him with thankfulness in my eyes, before I turned on my heel and walked towards where I knew Brax would be.

I made my way out of the crowd and saw Brax, he was smiling at me but then must have registered that my face wasn't of happiness but purely plastered with fear, I walked towards the one guy I knew who keep me safe. His face was serious as he walked up to me and pulled me into his chest.

"Where do you think you're going all I want is one dance?" The voice came from behind, I knew it was that creep again. Brax realised what was happening and pulled me behind me and stepped in front of me blocking me from his view. "Oh so you're the boyfriend? Mate I'd keep your girlfriend on a leash, she was letting me grind her and she even tried to kiss me." He added, I looked around Brax and saw him smiling, Brax didn't react.

"Brax I thought it was you, I didn't know I swear." I pleaded. He walked up and nearly stood over the guy, obviously intimidating him, the guy began to realise this may have been a bad idea. I walked up to Brax and grabbed his hand, intertwining my fingers with his. I knew what Brax was going to do if this guy kept winding him up, I pulled his arm.

"Babe, let's go." I begged.

"Leave my girlfriend alone." He added before walking away holding my hand.

Brax P.O.V

I didn't like this guy, he looked shady and he didn't look like a high schooler. At these school functions sometimes older guys would slip in and try to score with the younger more naive girls, although it rarely worked. I walked back to the brick wall to where the boys were seated on the classic school chairs, probably pinched from the class rooms; I sat down on the only free one, looking out of the guy I nearly had a fight with. I would have to if Charlie wasn't right behind me, holding my arm, I was half tempted to take her back to the boys or her brother then go hit the guy who started it, but I resisted the urge, I knew Charlie wouldn't appreciate it. I sat there watching the shady guy go and hit on some other girl when suddenly my view was blocked by two skinny legs, I looked up to see Charlie looking down at me, scared. I didn't know whether she was scared of me, or scared of the guy, or scared of the fact I nearly hit him, or scared that I believed him, it could even be a combination four.

"Brax..." She whispered I looked her in the eye. "I swear I didn't know it was him, I thought it was you." And then it became clear she was scared that I believed him. I pulled her arms and pulled her down so she was sitting on my lap, sideways; I wrapped one arm around her.

"I know babe." Was all I could answer, I was still angry at that fellow so I was just trying to keep my cool. Charlie helped, her just being seated on my lap helped, I could help but being protective of her but she managed to calm me down with just her presence. She smiled and I leant in and kissed her lips, before adverting my gaze, watching the low life scum make his move on another innocent girl.
