Here's another update on Lucas and Meghan.
Outtake 9
February of sophomore year:
Lucas's POV
"Hey Meghan!" Todd said to her acting all cool.
"Hi Todd." Meghan politely said to him.
"So you wanna go out with me for Valentine's Day tonight?" Todd asked excitedly.
"Of course not, I'm spending that holiday with Lucas, my boyfriend." Meghan said in a 'No duh' tone while pointing at me where I am right next to her as I gave Todd the 'Yeah, hello' look. Yeah people, I was right here the whole time when Todd came over to me and Meghan, mostly to Meghan.
"Oh, you're still with him?" Todd asked, not even looking at me but at Meghan still as I was getting more pissed by the second. "I'd figured you'd dumped him over the weekend." That tears it! I thought as I reached up and pinched the area between his neck and right shoulder causing Todd to give out a cry and fall to his knees. Hey what do you know, we're the same height now.
"Okay you listen up and you better listen real good," I said as Todd was flailing his arms around madly while my fingers remained where they were at his pressure point. "I was already pissed twice when you tried to ask Meghan out in front of me and assuming that she and I are history, but ignoring the hell out of me like I don't even exist is where you have crossed the line!"
"You better tell the next guy who tries to ask Meghan out and tell him and anyone else to make other plans because Meghan is spending Valentine's Day with me because she's my girlfriend because if you don't let it go, I swear to god Karma will be a bitch to you! Do I make myself clear?" I asked.
"Ah, ah, ah, okay, okay!" Todd cried allowing me to let go as he scrambled up and took off. Until he was out of sight, I sighed.
"Ugh," I said leaning against the lockers. "Sorry you had to see me like that, again." I said to Meghan.
"That's okay. Thanks for saving me, again." Meghan said.
"That's the tenth time these guys tried to ask you out today, and school hasn't even started yet!" I said in disbelief. "And also that's the fourth day for them to do that! I'm getting tired of it."
"If it makes you feel better, I think it was hot how you got all possessive on me." Meghan smiled causing me to blush. I gave another sigh.
"Why can't guys just leave you alone? There are other beautiful girls to spend Valentine's Day with." I said.
"I'm surprised you never dated them." Meghan teased.
"Have you met me?" I asked causing Meghan to giggle as I roll my eyes. "And says the girl who never dated before." I just can't believe that a beautiful girl like Meghan never had a boyfriend before back in California. I guess you can say that I'm the 'lucky one' to be her first.
"I may fall for cute boys but I don't go out with someone so self centered or narcissistic with an Adonis complex." Meghan said.
"You mean like Matt and Cooper?" I asked with a laugh.
"Hey!" Meghan and I turned to see Matt and Cooper walking over to us along with Tiffany and Hannah.
"You got it all wrong about us, Meghan." Cooper said.
"Yeah, all those things describe Cooper." Matt said earning a punch from Cooper as I laughed.
"Yeah and thanks you two for letting me handle Todd and the boys trying to ask Meghan out single handily." I said sarcastically.
"Another one?" Hannah asked. "Was it that now, the seventieth time since you two became official?"
"The seventy-second." I corrected.
"Are guys really that desperate to ask a girl like Meghan out on a date?" Tiffany asked.
"Why don't we ask Cooper?" Hannah teased as we all turned to him.
"Now that is just offensive." Cooper said as the rest of us laughs.
"Well you do appear to be the expert." Trevin said as he joined us along with his girlfriend Haley and our other friend Ryan.
"At least I'm more of an expert than you. OW!" Cooper cried when Hannah slapped his chest.
"Cooper is an expert of something alright." Tiffany said.
"More like an expert of being dumped." Matt said causing Cooper to end those two in another childish fight.
"Aren't you gonna stop them?" Haley asked me.
"I would but I'm a bit occupied." I said as Meghan buries her head against my chest when she got my arms wrapped around her giving me goose bumps while she giggles. Man, this is torturing me in a good way.
"Listen," Meghan said when she stopped and looked up at me. "I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon so I need to go to my teachers right now letting them know that I'll be gone for fifth and sixth period."
"Will I get to see that beautiful smile for tonight's date?" I asked with a smile.
"You know it." Meghan smiled. "I'll be at your place at six."
"It's a date." I said.
"A Valentine date." Meghan said as she and I kissed. "I love you Lukey-pookie."
"Lukey-pookie?" Matt said after he and Cooper stopped fighting and burst into laughing along with Trevin and Ryan while the girls giggled as I turned a deep shade of red.
"That is so going on Twitter right now!" Cooper said as he pulled out his phone and started typing.
"You weren't supposed to tell them that!" I hissed to Meghan as she smiled innocently. She started calling me that since we started dating. Why? It's so embarrassing.
"Who said I made that promise?" She smirked. Okay, I gotta come up with a pet name that will embarrass her. "I'll see you in Biology." She said and walked away. I couldn't help but sigh.
"I still can't believe she's my girlfriend." I said in a daze as I watch her walk away until she turned the hallway.
"Nobody can." Ryan said and I turned to see it was just us guys now as I playfully shoved Ryan. From what I'm hearing, Hannah went to meet up with her new boyfriend Nat and Tiffany and Haley went to talk to their Trigonometry teacher.
"And we're not talking about us." Matt said to me. "We're talking about, who was it that just tried to ask Meghan out, Todd, and many other boys that want Meghan. Even Cooper doesn't understand it but he knows better than to get in the way of what you want bro."
"Yeah, by the end of this month, every boy in the school will fail to steal Meghan from you." Ryan said to me.
I sighed again from hearing this. Come on boys, Meghan's my girlfriend and she loves me. Can't they just accept that? I did when they were with someone I got shot down. I mean what are the odds I get another girl if Meghan and I break up? Very slim.
"That reminds me of something." Cooper said and turned to me.
"What?" I asked him.
"You, me and Matt made an agreement that if either one of us ever got a hot girlfriend, that person would have his girlfriend hooked the other guy up with one of her girlfriends as said in the Bro Codes." Cooper said coming to my side.
"Uh yeah, I don't ever recall that." I said looking away.
"October twenty-first, 2009 in the seventh grade," Trevin said as I turned to him while Cooper had the 'See?' look. Oh man. "Lunchtime, you, Cooper and Matt made that agreement when you both fell for Ramona ending up in a disaster and hence began the Bro Codes starting with hot girlfriends. Ramona had the quality of those three's interest combined."
When Trevin saw my confused face on how he knew it so well, he said to me, "I was the witness when you guys made the first rule of the Bro Codes, remember?"
I was silent until, "… Oh yeah, that." I said, pretending like I now remembered what they're talking about as I turned to Cooper.
"Yeah, you've been with Meghan for over a week now, where's my shorty, Shorty?" Cooper asked me.
"Oh come on Coop, you can't hold me to that." I said.
"Wa – Why not?" Cooper asked in disbelief.
"Because when I agreed to that, I didn't think I'd ever get a hot girlfriend and I was positive that Matt would last five days longer than you, or even an hour." I said causing Matt to laugh.
"Besides, all of Meghan's friends are in California, you expect her to call them to come over here?" Matt asked Cooper.
"Well duh. OW!" Cooper cried when I smacked his head.
"H-H-hey, how come I wasn't part of this Bro Code you guys are talking about?" Ryan asked us.
"You went to the bathroom at that time when that lunch special went down the wrong waterfall." Trevin explained to Ryan.
"Oh so that's how it works? I have a diarrhea problem and I don't get a hot girlfriend?" Ryan asked.
"Sure, that's how it works. OW!" Cooper cried when Ryan smacked his head.
"You have Checka and she is just as hot as the rest of the girls." Matt said to Ryan.
"Yeah but Checka is really putting up a fight." Ryan said as the five minute warning bell rang.
"I'll see you guys later." I said as I took off for Biology where I saw Meghan already here in her seat. And the seat next to hers which is supposed to be mine is occupied by another guy who's trying to ask her out. And he's not even in this class.
"Unbelievable." I muttered as I walk over to them.
I'm doing my best to ignored how the guys don't think Meghan and I aren't meant to be together because I'm super excited to spend my first ever Valentine's Day with Meghan, our first one together. Sure it's only been about a week since we started dating but it's a big deal. Not only that its Valentine's Day but it's also Meghan's birthday. I have good plans for tonight's date at Ricardo's Restaurant. It's a good place to celebrate two special occasions. All I need is to by a special gift after school and the first Valentine's Day will be very memorable.
School just loves to torture us by slowing down time. Come on, I really want to spend Valentine's with my girlfriend. That is a word I still can't get over to say. Meghan's my girlfriend? To all those boys that are still trying to make plans with Meghan, trust me, I'm asking the same question how Meghan likes me.
Anyways, I know everyone is in the same boat as me to spend Valentine's Day with their significant other. Why can't Valentine's Day be the holiday to give us students a day off from school? I'm sure people who are married get day offs from their jobs.
I was at my locker getting my textbook for World History later when I just opened it after putting in the combo I saw what was in it.
On top of my notebooks from my previous classes, there was a white envelope with my name on it. Curious, I took it out and opened it to see a letter inside.
Hey baby,
I know we had plans for tonight but I just had a better idea of romance.
What'd be more romantic than at this boathouse my mom told me about?
I know I should've texted you before I left about this but how's that romantic on this special day?
Anyway, I'll meet you there tonight. I can't stop thinking about you.
Love you,
Meghan :)
I couldn't help but smiled seeing all the hearts around this note. Underneath her signed name was the address of this boathouse. Sounds cool. This special day doesn't get better than this. I am curious to why she didn't texted me or when she suddenly came up with the change of plans but hey, as long as we're spending Valentine's Day together, I'm happy. I closed my locker after getting what I need and head on over to my next class.
Finally, school ended and all I did is buy the gift I needed. I got lucky with my weekly paycheck I got along with the tips since I started working at Starbucks. Meghan's definitely gonna love this. I got home and took a shower, put on some decent clothes for my date and grabbed the gift I bought and left my room. I said goodbye to my family before I hopped into my car and drove off to the biggest night of my life.
A few minutes later, I arrived at this fancy boathouse in the area where a lot of boathouses are it. Wow, Meghan really has the best idea to spend Valentine's Day. I'll have to thank Lynda for giving her daughter the idea. I got out of the car with the roses and Meghan's gift in my hands and walked on over to the boathouse with a smile on my face.
"Meghan?" I said coming inside from the front door. "Your date is here. Wow girl, you really picked a nice place." I said looking around on the decent well paid furniture.
"Meghan? Are you here?" I asked not hearing her response as I saw no sign of her presence. Maybe she's running late. I thought as I didn't see a car besides mine. Meghan's car got totaled no thanks to Justin so she must have got Lynda or her father Mark to drop her off there. Yeah, that's it.
But if that's the case, then why are my cop senses acting up?
"Meghan?" I said. "Where are you?"
"She's not here." I jumped when someone spoke and turned when I heard the door that I came from closed and I saw someone familiar standing by it.
"Todd?" I said.
"The one and only." He said as he was leaning against the wall with arms folded and one leg against the wall. "And Meghan won't be joining us."
"What did you do to her?" I asked as my teeth were gritting while trying to calm myself down. If Todd has hurt Meghan, I swear that –
"Oh don't worry Lucas," Todd said interrupting my thoughts as he smirked. "We haven't done anything to her. Not yet." I almost lost myself wanting to throw myself at Todd but then I got confused at what he said.
"Wait, we?"
"That's right, we." I turned around to see six other guys appearing from different directions.
"Gabe?" I said when I recognized him from my Biology class. "Roger? Antonio? Kirby? Zeke? Miles?" I said seeing more familiar faces. "What are you guys doing here?"
"You know Lucas, for a guy whose smart, you can be so gullible." Todd said as my cop senses went off like crazy.
"Okay I don't know what's going on here but I don't have time for this." I said calmly. "I gotta go."
"Stop him." Todd said and that's when someone grabbed my wrist pulling me back causing me to whack Antonio right in the face with the roses causing him to let go of me while I stuffed my gift for Meghan in my jacket as the others try to make a grab for me.
Thankfully, my martial arts skills gave me the edge as I was able to fight them off and made a breakthrough for the door where Todd is standing in front of it. He grabbed my arms to stop me from escaping causing me to turn us around until we were back to back with our arms still locked to each other.
Just then, I felt two stabs at both of my ribs and something was shot through my skin so easily without the need to cut open as it feels like cold water from a nozzle. I couldn't help but scream as my legs gave away and I fell to the floor as whatever it was pulled out and I couldn't help but shake like mad due to my body twitching uncontrollably.
I heard voices but couldn't make out what they were saying. There was also something going on in my head like it was making me hear even more things, like a static. I don't know what it was because things were slowing fading into darkness until I was completely out.
Tiffany's POV
"Thanks for helping me reorganizes these files Tiffany."
"Don't mention it Jessica." I smiled.
I am at Lucas's house where I am helping Lucas's mom reorganize some files of patients at the hospital she's been assigned to do. There were some interesting… incidents you would call it, each patient were in for. I can tell how stressful it is for Jessica and I don't want her to go through with that, especially on this special day.
"So, do you and Kendall have any plans for Valentine's Day?" I asked Jessica.
"Oh we're just gonna have a simple dinner here while taking care of Lilly." Jessica shrugged. "What about you? I'm sure you should be out right now spending Valentine's Day with a certain someone." She smiled causing me to blush in embarrassment.
"I'm actually spending Valentine's with me, myself and I; probably eating ice cream while watching romance movies." I sighed.
Mom and dad are out having dinner to spend their Valentine's Day together and Sam is with her friends to watch a new movie at the Capital Mall. Hannah is with her new boyfriend, Matt is with some girl he's now dating, Trevin is with Haley, Ryan and Checka, Cooper and Marti but I don't think it won't last long, and Lucas is with Meghan.
Where am I? I'm not with anyone at the moment. I have been dating a few boys, not as many as Hannah, but they weren't right for me. I wonder if I'll ever find a guy and be the next Lucas and Meghan but I guess I'll never know.
"I'm sure you'll find someone someday." Jessica said patting my hand giving me a warming smile as I gave one back.
"Thanks Jessica." I said.
"Okay," I turned to see Kendall coming in. "Lilly just finished her bath and is now putting on the clothes I lay out for her."
"How about I get dinner ready?" Jessica smiled as Kendall came over and gave her a kiss.
"Sure thing." Kendall smiled and then smirked. "After that and when Lilly gets to bed, we can have a little moment before Lucas gets home."
"Kendall!" Jessica said slapping his arm as Kendall laughs while I was feeling a little awkward being in this moment. How old is Lucas's dad exactly? That's when the doorbell rang. Oh thank goodness.
"I'll get it." I said running to the door and answered it and I was surprised to see who it was.
"Hi Tiffany." Meghan smiled wearing a simple yet beautiful white dress with her dark blue purse in her hands.
"Meghan?" I said in confusion.
"Last time I checked." Meghan chuckled. "What are you doing here?"
"I was helping Lucas's mom out with something. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm here for Lucas for our Valentine's date. I'm supposed to meet him here so he can take me to wherever our dinner is." Meghan smiled. What? "Is he here?" She asked looking over my shoulder.
"Actually, he left about half an hour ago, meeting you." I said.
"What are you talking about? He told me to meet him here. We agreed on that." Meghan said, frowning.
"But Lucas told me of your change of plans for him to meet you." I said remembering what Lucas told me but not much.
"I never made a change of plans." Meghan said.
"Didn't you leave him a note in his locker?" I asked.
"No, I would've texted him about it, which I didn't." Meghan said as my eyes were in shocked at what I'm hearing.
"What's going on?" Kendall asked when he and Jessica appeared.
"Meghan? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Lucas?" Jessica asked.
"Apparently there's some mysterious miscommunication between Lucas and Meghan." I explained to Lucas's parents. "Lucas claims to have received a note from Meghan to meet him at a changed location for Valentine's Day while Meghan claims she didn't."
"But then where is Lucas?" Meghan asked looking worried.
"I don't know, he never told us where." I said.
"Kendall, you don't think something happened to him, do you?" Jessica asked him worriedly.
"I don't know, but my cop senses are giving me a bad feeling about this." Kendall said looking just as worried as us. Oh my gosh, I surely hope nothing bad happened to Lucas but then how come this is bad from the sound of it?
Just then suddenly, there was sound of an alarm going off somewhere in the house.
"What is that?" Meghan asked.
"Oh no, Lucas!" Kendall said as he took off somewhere in the house as Jessica had a panic look on her face. Huh? I thought as Meghan I followed them to where Kendall is hurriedly pulling out a device from his desk.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Lucas's chip went off." Kendall said as he turned off the alarm.
"Chip?" Meghan said.
"What chip?" I asked.
"As soon as Lucas was old enough to toddle on his own, I -… well Jessica, had put a locator chip surgically installed into Lucas's head by some doctor we knew back Forks." Kendall explained. (A/N: No, he's not talking about Carlisle you guys.)
I looked at Kendall and then at Jessica when I understood something. "You made Kendall chip Lucas?"
"Oh you know how much I care about my first baby!" Jessica said. "I did it because I get so worried about Lucas for everything. He's been giving me heart attacks ever since he inherited Kendall's cop senses when he was a kid and that time when he handcuffed Charlie back in Forks." That caused Kendall to snicker earning a slap in the arm by her.
"Well why is the chip going off?" Meghan asked.
"Something must have shorted out the circuit to stop transmitting triggering an emergency distress signal and gives out where Lucas is now." Kendall said looking at the screen.
"Well where is he?" I asked.
Kendall took a moment until, "He's at a boathouse at Shaymin Lake."
"Come on!" I said as Meghan followed me out of the house.
"Hang on, I'm coming with you girls." Kendall said as Meghan and I got into his cruiser. Oh Lucas, please be okay.
Lucas's POV
I slowly opened my eyes. Things were a bit hazy until they started to focus.
"The defendant has finally woken up." I heard Roger say.
"W-What's going on?" I asked weakly as I tried to move. "Huh?" I looked when I felt my arms being held and saw them raised above my head where both of my wrist are handcuffed to poles behinds me. I tried to move but it was useless. My arms weren't the only ones that are being handcuffed. "H-Hey, what is this? What gives?" I said seeing my legs are handcuffed as well.
"You're on trial. That's what up." Todd said and I saw him and the others gathering around me.
"Trial?"
"That's right. Let the trial of Lucas Stone begin." Todd said as the other boys cheered while I tried to get out of these handcuffs. No good. How do you get out of these damn things? I should've asked my dad or Charlie or Logan or James or Carlos about this.
"Okay, can someone tell me what kind of trial I'm on exactly?" I asked.
"Zeke?" Todd said calling to him.
"The defendant here Lucas Stone has been charged of stealing Meghan Valentine from the victims of the trial." Zeke said.
"You have got to be kidding me." I muttered in disbelief. They are still hung over about that?
"Sorry Lucas but tonight, your date is with us." Kirby said.
"Looks like you should've made other plans for Valentine's Day, but it looks like you already have bailing on Meghan. And I don't think she's gonna like it if she sees that you stood her up. She'll be hurt because of you." Miles said, with a smirk.
"She'll be hurt because of you guys by not letting me go!" I said angrily. That's when I got punched right in the stomach causing me to barely double over due to the handcuffs as I felt the wind knocked out of me.
"You don't have permission to speak." Gabe said to me as I tried once again to get out of these handcuffs which are started to hurt. I looked down where I can still feel Meghan's gift in my jacket as I looked at my jeans to find my phone but my pockets felt empty.
"Looking for this?" I looked up to see Antonio holding out my phone before he dropped it to the floor and stomped it into pieces. There goes the warranty.
"Look guys, can't we just talk this out?" I asked and that's when two more punches came at me; one in the stomach again and this time, one at my cheek.
"One more word out of you before trial starts and you'll be punished." Todd said as I felt blood come out of my lips.
"Nothing's gonna stop me from getting to Meghan. And you guys are not getting in the way of our relationship!" I said and that's when I felt two stabs at my side sending the familiar feeling from before until they got pulled out. As my body was twitching, I saw Gabe and Antonio holding out two stun guns when they stepped back away from me.
"That was just a warning." Antonio said.
"Can I at least ask – zZz – questions – zZz?" I asked, still twitching uncontrollably.
"You already have, but sure." Todd said.
"How could you – zZz – guys have written that note in Meghan's handwriting – zZz?" I asked how it looks exactly like hers in the note I got.
"Gabe is known to have a good penmanship when comes to other people's handwriting." Todd said as Gabe grinned in pleasure.
"Why are you guys doing this?" I asked.
"We're doing this for Meghan." Roger said. "We're not letting her suffer being your girlfriend." Are you kidding me? How could these guys be so delusional?
"What do you guys have against me dating Meghan?!" I asked in disbelief. "Can't you just get over it?" That earned me two more punches and a kick in the shin as I gave out a cry.
"Meghan is the most beautiful girl in school, and she deserves to be with a guy who is more handsome, stronger, cooler, and certainly not you, like us." Todd said to me.
"Well how are you gonna settle who gets Meghan – zZz?" I asked. "Surely if you did get rid of me, you guys will be fighting each other for her love."
"Nice try Lucas, but you ain't gonna toy us that easily." Miles said. Damn it. I was hoping they would fight amongst each other so I can find a way out of this.
"You're not worthy of being Meghan's boyfriend." Zeke said to me. "You're not even worthy enough to be her friend."
"Yeah, so you can undo your mind-nerd-tricks or whatever you did to manipulate Meghan into your bidding." Roger said.
"I did nothing to force Meghan into having a relationship with me!" I said and that's when I got stabbed by a stun gun sending the electricity through my body. "She loves – zZz – me – zZz."
"You two are not in love." Todd stated. "She just doesn't know she's being used."
"I would never use Meghan." I said. This is getting me nowhere.
"I say we move right to the penalty phase." Zeke said as the other boys nodded their head in agreement. Wait, being tasered and beaten like a punching bag was not the penalty phase. Oh shit, I don't like where this is going.
"Hold on," I said causing the boys to turn to me. "Uh, permission to speak out?" I asked.
There was silence until Kirby said, "I think the defendant deserve ones last chance to speak before we reach the verdict." He nodded to Todd and Todd gave me the okay to speak.
"Look, I get it, I'm not exactly good looking, I'm into the whole videogames and things nerds would do, I'm not a football or basketball player, I don't have the muscles and I'm not even close to six feet tall." I said. "But so what? You think Meghan looks for a guy like that, like you all?" I asked them who all have those kinds of qualities. Add total selfish self centered jerks and denial to them.
"Yes!" They all said like it was an obvious answer.
"Fine, but let me ask you this," I said. "Do you know anything about Meghan? Anything at all?"
"Of course we do." Miles said in a 'Duh' tone.
"Oh yeah? When's her birthday?" I asked in a challenged tone.
There was silence as the guys looked at each other.
"Uh… May thirteenth?" Antonio asked.
"It happens to be tonight. Hence the name Valentine. Should've been that obvious." I said and continued talking. "Do you know her favorite singer which is Justin Bieber? Actually that's obvious as well. Do you know where she's from which is Sacramento, California? Do you even know that her mom is a landscaper and her dad's a lawyer? Good luck with him. Do you know that she has inner strength the way she nearly broke one of your guy's arm off last time you tried to beat my ass when Meghan first became my friend? Do you know that she's really nice to others and doesn't like it when someone she loves gets harmed by others? Do you see how her hair flows in the wind whenever she walks? Do you know that her hazel eyes held so much sparkle when you look right into them? Do you see how her flawless skin glows in the light making her even more beautiful than ever?"
"But what do you know? You only care about how Meghan looks and thinking who you believe is right for her like she's some shiny object. All you want to do with her is make out with her like crazy or… get in her pants or whatever you guys only care about. I love Meghan, and I care so much about her. She's not like the other girls I once fell for. You guys are the ones who aren't worthy of Meghan's love." That earned me more punches and another jab to get tasered for a few seconds.
"What you said Lucas may be true, but now we know everything about Meghan thanks to you." Todd said. "Now if you don't have anything else to say, commence penalty phase." He said to the others and with that they all started walking over to me.
It's no use. I try to open their minds and they just won't listen or understand. I can't fight them off by myself, not with the way I'm being handcuffed. I'm too exhausted to even do so from the beating and being tasered. If they succeed, Meghan will think I stood her up and I will lose the only girl to have ever love me as more than a friend. It's over for me.
Just then, there was a bang from the stairs and something came tumbling down.
"Oh shit!" Cooper cried as he tumbled all the way until he reached the bottom. "Okay, ow." He grunted.
"That wasn't exactly a flashy entrance Coop." Matt said as he came down the stairs and helped him up.
"There he is!" Hannah cried when she and Tiffany arrived.
"Lucas!" Tiffany cried when she saw me in my position.
"Guys!" I cried.
"Stop them!" Todd commanded as he joined Gabe, Zeke, Roger, Miles, Kirby and Antonio coming at my friends. Unfortunately for them, Matt and Cooper both tackled Roger and Antonio hard as Tiffany avoided Todd's grasped and literally kicked his ass while Hannah singled handily flipped the rest of the boys one by one causing them to end up on their backs, hard.
"Are you okay bro?" Matt asked as he and my friends came over to me.
"Oh thank goodness we found you." Hannah said as she hugged me.
"Let's get you out of here." Tiffany said.
"Where are the keys to these damn handcuffs?" Cooper said as he and Matt tried to yanked me out of these poles.
"Forget that, call Meghan and tell her what happened." I said.
"Not if we can help it." Todd said as he and the others got up and was about to come towards us again.
"Did I not send you the message?" Hannah asked turning to them in front of me with her hands on her hips. "Don't make me send it to you the second time." That caused them to step back away from me and my friends. "I'm glad I didn't date you all because right now you all are complete asses."
"What the hell is your guys' problem?" Tiffany asked them.
"We're rescuing Meghan from Lucas." Gabe said.
"What rescue? All you did was handcuffed Lucas." Matt said in disbelief.
"Not to mention they were beating me and nearly tasered me to – zZz – death – zZz." I said causing my friends to turn to me in shock at what I said and back at Todd and his boys in anger.
"Now that is just low, and this comes from the guy who just got blown off from his date just because she was stuck babysitting her baby brother." Cooper said.
"Says the guy who also believed that Lucas doesn't deserve Meghan. You had a thing for her too." Antonio said to Cooper.
"I didn't say that Lucas doesn't deserve Meghan, I just said that I don't get what Meghan sees in him." Cooper said. "And yes, I had the hots for Meghan before but hearing how Lucas likes Meghan as well, I'd figure I let him have a shot since she's shown to like Lucas as well as stated in the Bro Codes. I mean what are the odds that Lucas will ever get a girl like Meghan ever again. I'm just saying." He said in defense to me and the others before Matt and the girls were about to hit him.
"You guys are so selfish to think you can chose who a girl can and cannot date." Tiffany said to Todd and the others.
"That is so discriminating and sexist." Hannah said.
"You don't know what Meghan wants." Zeke said.
"Oh do we? Why don't you ask her yourself?" Matt asked and that's when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and I saw her appear just as she gasped seeing me.
"What the hell are you guys think you're doing?!" Meghan said as she ran over to me.
"Meghan!" I said as she hugged me so tight that it hurts from the beatings.
"Baby, are you okay?" Meghan asked she kissed my cheek which hurts as well.
"Meghan, I swear I wasn't trying to bail on you. I had no idea I was being set up. I wanted to come to our date." I explained.
"It's okay, I understood what was going on when I came to your house." Meghan said.
"The defendant will refrain from using his hypnosis to sway the witness." Todd said. Seriously?
"And we're not leaving until you release Meghan from your spell." Zeke said to me.
"You guys are worst than me and Cooper." Matt said as Meghan turned to Todd and his friends.
"What were you guys thinking?" She asked them sternly.
"We were trying to save you Meghan." Roger said, confidently.
"Save me?! The only person here that needs saving is Lucas!" Meghan said.
"We were stopping him so he doesn't get away with this." Antonio said.
"You just don't know that you needed saving." Gabe said.
"What I know is that Lucas would've been with me on our date on this special day if it wasn't for you guys trying to get in the way." Meghan said.
"We're doing this for you." Todd said.
"You did this for yourselves!" Meghan snapped as she marched towards Todd in total fury.
"Whoa!" Matt said as he and Cooper hugged each other.
"Oh shit!" Cooper said as my eyes widened while they cowered close to me.
"Oh my gosh!" Tiffany said as she and Hannah hugged each other.
"Eep!" Hannah yelped as they joined me and the guys while we watch Meghan unleashing her fury. Damn.
"You listen and you better listen well," Meghan said jabbing a finger at Todd so hard while the other boys were cowardly behind him while they all backed away from Meghan as much as possible until they hit a wall. "I was already tired with you all asking me out when you know perfectly well that I'm in a relationship, even asking me out right in front of him! I don't see you guys that way like I see Lucas! I love him! And no, I am not blinking in Morse code saying 'Please rescue me,' I just have a habit of doing that. Lucas did not force me into a relationship, I chose to be in the relationship by my own choice. It's you idiots that think that you can choose who I can and cannot date. I am not a prize to you all! Lucas is the one for me! He is the kindest, sweetest, funniest and most amazing boyfriend I ever had and he didn't need to be like Matt or Cooper or you guys to do so!" Meghan then turned away coming over to me as her face softens.
"I was in love with you from the moment I saw you. You don't know how happy I am since we started dating. I am proud to be your girlfriend." Meghan smiled to me. "I love you."
"I love you." I said earning a kiss fully from Meghan sending that electric spark different from the taser; this was softer, more warm than that.
"Meghan," Meghan pulled back and we all turned to see Todd who spoke. "He's not right for you." He said, like he was pleading.
"Then you don't know anything about me or anything what I want in a relationship." Meghan said as she wrapped her arms around my waist.
"But –"
"Oh save your guy's breath and just shut up!" Cooper said.
"Lucas won in a mature way and you all lost." Matt said.
"Just grow up." Hannah said.
"Because right now, you got bigger troubles now apart from fighting for Meghan's love." Tiffany said.
That's when more footsteps came thundering down the stairs and about ten police men appeared.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't arrest you all for kidnapping and assaulting my son with unauthorized excessive force from what I heard!" Dad said to Todd and the others looking very pissed.
"Oh shit!" Todd and the guys cried when their eyes widened at who's here before they started scrambling to escape like going through the window but was stopped by my friends as the cops cornered the boys.
"Lucas, are you okay?" Dad asked as he ran over to me.
"Not exactly." I said weakly as I was panting from being tasered and everything still. Not to mention my arms are about to fall off from being hung above my head for so long. Dad must have read my mind as he pulled out a key and unlocked the handcuffs on my wrists. I was finally free but my arms were held up for so long that they fell lifelessly with no feeling like rubber that it causes me to have no control when I was about to fall forward.
"Whoa there!" Matt said when he and Cooper caught me before I hit the ground.
"We got'cha man." Cooper said as they let me put all my weight on their shoulders while dad unlocked the handcuffs on my legs as I watched Todd and the guys struggling when they got caught by dad's team.
"Guys, I heard about prison," Zeke said.
"Yeah?" Antonio said.
"It ain't good." Zeke said.
"No please!" Gabe cried.
"I'm too young to go to jail!" Miles cried.
"You wouldn't arrest a kid, would you?" Kirby asked.
"Please, this is all a big misunderstanding!" Roger begged.
"Lucas, tell them we didn't do anything." Todd said when he was facing me while James was holding him. "Tell them we were just messing around with you. Tell them we didn't mean it." He said with a pleaded look. Unbelievable. I thought as I gave Todd a disbelief look.
"We all know that's a down-right straight up lie." I said to him bitterly. "Besides, why should I help you after everything you did and what you said about me, especially how you think about me and Meghan? I told you that Karma is gonna be a bitch to you, and I'm not talking about going to jail for beating me and owing me a new phone," I looked at dad who smirked while nodding his head. "Mama bear's outside and she is not happy that you messed with her cub."
That caused Todd and the other boys to panic as they were trying to get out of the polices' hands while they were being escorted up the stairs.
"Let's get you to the hospital Lucas." Dad said as Cooper and Matt carried me up the stairs with Meghan, Tiffany, Hannah and dad right behind us as we got outside. The minute we did, I saw mom shrieking as she grabbed Todd by the collar of his shirt and started shaking him like mad like she was strangling him while the cops just watched her as they put the other boys in the cruisers. Mom stopped the minute she saw me and dropped Todd.
"My baby!" She cried as she pushed Matt and Cooper out of the way and hugged me.
"Ow, mom, everything hurts. Ow." I said as she started assaulting me with kisses.
"You have seriously given me a heart attack!" Mom said to me. Well it's not my fault. I thought.
"Jessica, you take Lucas's car with Tiffany and Meghan." Dad said as mom gently took my lanyard from my pocket.
"Come on." Tiffany said as Matt and Cooper led me to my car. After Meghan got in the backseat, I was next after some assistance before Tiffany and mom went to the front.
"How are feeling baby?" Meghan asked me while pulling me close to her as mom started the car.
"Tired and… sore and…" I couldn't finish what I was saying because I was so drained from what happened that my eyes started to droop. Next thing that happened was that Meghan brought me down so that my head was sitting on her lap.
"Sleep." Meghan said as she stroke my head. "You rest now." She continues stroking my head as my eyes started to fall and soon they were closed as everything has started to take over.
Over the weekend, I was stuck at the hospital in bed. I wasn't that badly hurt; just some scars and bruises and the effects from the taser. I was surprised when I first woke up in the hospital the next morning was seeing that Meghan hadn't left my side when she should've been back at her home resting, comfortably. She really does love me. How did I ever deserve the title of being her boyfriend?
Because of what happened to me and how, Todd, Gabe, Roger, Zeke, Miles, Antonio and Kirby were arrested and are now in jail where they have been sentenced there for five years for kidnap, assault and tasering me. I wish they could add blinded by obsession and attempt stealing someone's girlfriend as a crime. Dad would understand. If I were mom, I'm sure she would want to add hurting her 'baby' as one. She's my mom you guys, what do you expect from her?
On Monday, I was finally out of the hospital that morning just in time to go back to school. Dad dropped me off at school where I was greeted by Meghan.
"How are you feeling?" She asked as she gave me a kiss.
"I'm okay now – zZz." Meghan gave me the 'What was that look?' as I said, "Sorry, still have some the effect from the tasers. Come on." I said as we walked inside the school building.
The minute we stepped inside, students' heads turned in our direction. I saw most of the boys immediately turned away avoiding looking at me while the girls were giving me concern looks. What was that about?
"The girls were worried about you. The boys are pretty much scared of you after Matt and Cooper told them what happened." Meghan answered my unasked question as we were walking down the halls. "The two warned them of the consequences if they ever get in between us by using Todd and the others as an example."
"I don't think that's gonna stop them forever." I sighed. "But I gotta be ready for whatever they got planned to take you away from me."
"Nothing they try to do will make me leave you." Meghan said when we arrived at my locker as she took both of my hands in hers. "My heart belongs to you forever and nothing will change that."
"And neither will mine." I smiled as I gave her a quick peck on the lips. "By the way, I have something for you." I reached into my backpack and pulled out a small rectangle black case. "This was supposed to your gift last Thursday. Happy belated Valentine's Day and Happy late Birthday babe." I opened it and Meghan gasped.
"Oh my gosh, Lucas," She exclaimed seeing a silver chain necklace where in the center was a small triangle purple amethyst which is her birthstone. I'm amazed how it's still in one peace after what happened last week when Todd and the others ganged up on me. "It's beautiful. You shouldn't have."
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" I said as I took out the necklace and put it around Meghan's neck.
"Lucas, you're the best boyfriend I ever had." She said.
"Aren't I the only boyfriend you ever had?" I teased as Meghan giggled.
"I love you." Meghan said as I pulled her close to me.
"I love you, Meggy bear." I said, holding my smirk as Meghan turned red in embarrassment.
"Lucas!" She said as she slapped my chest.
"Now we're even." I laughed while Meghan pouted. See her pouting is cuter on her than it is on me. Now I got a pet name for Meghan to embarrass her. Maybe now she'll think twice for calling me that. The bell rang and I took Meghan's hand and we head on to Biology.
Hope you guys love the story of Lucas's human life. I'll see if I can come up with more if it comes to me. Please review and go to my poll.
