Reid's POV
I waited as long as I could, listening to my dad babble on and on about "The value of a dollar" for Wiccans.
"—the whole world would be a better place if we all—"
"Enough!" I whispered harshly trying not to wake Lacey "I'm going to lose my freaking mind!"
"Fine!" he whispered back "I have to leave anyway!" he looked down at his watch "Oh shit I had to leave three hours ago, bye son—"
"It's Reid!" I yelled through the door as he shut it
"God you're loud." Sleepily mumbled the beautiful girl in my arms, she looked up at me with wide innocent eyes and smiled "But you make it very hard to stay mad at you. I guess I'm going soft."
"Yeah, so how are you feeling?" I asked playing with her red velvet hair
"I'm good…uh sorry for the scare." She grinned
"Who said I was scared?" I narrowed my eyes playfully at her
She was about to answer when she was interrupted
"I did!" said an annoying sing-song voice coming from behind me
I spun around to face the intruder "Oh please god don't let it be—"
I looked at him with wide eyes and gripped Lacey tighter "Long time no see Reid… I've missed you and your little angel. I've been watching you both for sometime now but we're finally face to face!" he chuckled darkly
"Reid…who is that?" whispered Lacey
"Oh that's right!" he laughed through the words "We've never properly met—hi I'm Chase Collins the fifth Son of Ipswitch." He held his hand out for her to shake it
She reached for it in return but I grabbed her wrist and forced her hand back down "What are you here for??" I seethed
"Reid? What's wrong?" asked Lacey though I didn't dare take my eyes off Chase
"Nothing, Lace, I'll handle it." I gritted my teeth and glared into his eyes "You wont touch her…"
"Who's going to stop me? You're alone, seven-teen, and worried about protecting Sweetheart over there—I've already won." His laugh did a real good job of pissin' me off
"Shut the fuck up!" Lacey jumped in my arms at my harsh tone
"Reid? Please tell me what's gong on!" she pleaded quietly in my ear as we sat on the couch
"Lacey…I need you to run when I go at him—" I took her face in my hand finally ripping my sight away from Collins
"Not a chance in hell!" she argued back defiantly
"Fine." In one quick movement I stood and threw her back out in the hall and used to close and seal the door behind her she started to beat on it but it held strong and I tried to ignore her cries and curses
"Well that was rude." Chuckled Chase "I was after her too."
A chill went up my spine and my heart froze. Once I could move again I used to send every movable object in the room flying at him with deadly accuracy and speed. After the dust cleared and the torn pages settled on the floor I stared at the pile of books, chairs, shelves, and lit candles that started to smoke. The pile moved suddenly and sent everything back at me; forcing me into the wall witch I slammed against and slid down to the floor where I laid like an idiot.
I tried to get up but my arms kept on giving out. "Get up—get up! He's not gonna just leave us! He'd kill her—fight for one thing that matters in your godforsaken life! Come on!"
"Don't worry Reid. I'm not going to take her today I just came because I got bored. Relax—"he stepped on my back, hard. It rubbed my chest into shards of broken glass. "Lie down for a while. I'll be back for your birth day!" his laugh echoed in the room long after he disappeared
I heard a loud crash and looked at the door and saw Lacey charge into the room closely followed by Caleb, Pogue, Baby Boy, and Tink "Nice…she blew the thing clean off the hinges."
"Lacey…" I croaked in a raspy voice
"Oh my god Reid!" she screamed running to me and jumping over rubble
"Shit, clear the way!" the guys threw things to the side as Lacey tore the shelf off of me
"I need help!" she yelled over her shoulder
"How's my hair?" I grinned at her slightly getting up to my knees "Oh a book shelf was on me? That's why I couldn't get up."
She gaped at me "Are you fucking kidding me?! UGH Reid Garwin, you are UNBELIVEABLE!" she seethed tears in her eyes "You gave me a god damn heart attack and I thought you were gone and—and I though you left me for good!" she gently wrapped her arms around my neck "You're a fucking idiot…" she murmured
"Yeah, I know." I moved slowly petting the back of her head the guys stopped what they were doing and just looked at us like they were watching a huge romantic love scene instead of just me and her… "Just me and her. That sounds right."
She let me go and helped me stand "Hey, guys… how the party lookin'?"
They smiled "Don't know—just got here…"
"Well, hell boys…lets drop in."
"You look like you already jumped off a cliff." Smirked Tyler helping me walk to the door
"You're going to explain that latter." Informed Lacey
"Sure."
After they took me to the hospital, I got a few stitches and we met up with Kya and Hayley Caleb explained everything to them while Lacey helped me to my dorm room…on the way I explained the jumping off a cliff thing to her.
"I see," she laughed as we reached my door
"Yeah, Caleb got really pissed at me." I chuckled as she used to open the door "I see you're feeling better—"
"I see you're feeling worse."
We laid down on my bed for awhile not saying anything, I was just feeling her heart beat against my shoulder and watching her chest raise fall.
"Lacey?"
"Hm?" she murmured against the crook of my neck
"What's your middle name?" I asked playing with her hair, once again
"Innocence" she grumbled
I laughed "You're kidding right?"
"What's wrong with my name?" she demanded lightly
"Nothing" I chuckled "It's perfect."
"Funny Reid, real funny."
"It true." I assured her "When you smile it's like every thing complicated just melts away and the only thing left is so perfect because…"
"Because why?" she urged
"Because… the only thing left is you, Lace. It's like you're just—it's complicated!" Oh shit I think I'm blushing
"I see would you like me to smile?" she teased
"Great, now you're making fun of me too!" I rolled my eyes and let my head smack my pillow with I muffled thud
"Oh Reidie, are the other little boys pickin' on you?"
"Oh shut up." I touched her face carefully and brought her lips to meet my own but just before they touched I stopped and started to pull back but her hands ran through my hair, forcing me to stay inched from her lips
She only said one thing but it was enough to drive me over the edge "Why do I feel like I've known…and loved you forever—"
I touched her lips to mine for the first time. Electricity flowed through me even after the kiss ended. It was sweet and loving but for some reason it felt like I've lived my whole life for this moment. I'm literally as close to Heaven as anyone in the world has ever been. I kept my eyes but could still see her. Down to every detail and lock of hair that defined who she is… the most perfect creature in the whole world.
"I want to be with you for all my life and I don't know why…"
