Hey, here's chapter 10 of ...to be Loved.
I own nothing except Alex. Ian belongs to Hangman's Curse, David belongs to Fear, Alice belongs to AliceAlecMoon.
Alex's P.O.V:
As our laughter died down, Ian and David stepped up.
"You two always have all the fun, it's our turn." Ian explained. David picked the song. Kass just stared at them like they were insane. 'Prayer of a Refugee' by Rise Against blasted out of the speakers.
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew. David sang.
Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch. Ian sang.
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Down! they sang together
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told. David sang, emotion clear in voice and a pointed look at me
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you've known. Ian sang
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down! They sang, Alice and me humming
So open your eyes child,
Let's be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way. Ian sang
Keep quiet no longer,
We'll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we've lost,
And the lives we've reclaimed.
Go! David sang
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!
Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down! We all sang, them standing, Alice and me still on the couch
Don't hold me up...
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me up...
(I don't need your help)
No! No! No!
Don't hold me up!
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me up!
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't let me down, down, down, down, down! They sang, Ian singing the main, David echoing.
"Okay, music time is over, my ears can't take it anymore." Kass said before they could put on another song.
"You're no fun." Alice pouted. Kass just smirked.
"I got an idea! Anyone up for paint ball?" I suggested.
"You just want to play cause you know you've got the best shot...fine, as long as I can cause others pain, I'm in!" Ian and Alice agreed, both looking at Kass through the corner of their eyes miscievously. I roll my eyes.
"Fine, but you aren't allowed to shot me in the ass the entire time again." David glared.
"I remember that, the whole time all she did was shot him in the ass, the next day at school he couldn't stand to sit cause of the pain, the teachers kept yelling at him." Ian was laughing his ass off, trying to avoid the fist David sent his way. Alice was watching with amusement, trying not to laugh.
"Since I'm going to be dragged along anyway, fine." Kass said, stepping out of the way as Ian ran past him.
"That's the spirit!" I said sarcasticly, getting a slight grin from the slab of stone we call Kass. With that we all left to get into our clothes.
I dressed in black baggy pants, black combat boots, black T-shirt with a raven flying on it, a plain black helmet, and lastly put my hair in a messy bun. I kept the helmet under my arm as I walked into the living room to meet the others. Alice was in the same exact thing as me except her shirt was blue. The only diference with David was a red shirt. Ian was in a neon green muscle shirt cause Alice had hidden all his other shirts as pay back from earlier. And last but not least, Kass had borrowed another pair of David's pants and boots, and had on a gray muscle shirt. I must say he looked hot..er, nice.
"Ian, shut your mouth or your gonna catch flies." David teased, as Ian was oogling Alice, who looked like she was about to fainted. I laughed at the blush that appeared on his face.
"What's with the baggy pants?" Kass asked, looking slightly annoyed.
"So if someone shots you in the legs, you can walk without pain later." I explained.
"If someone shots us in the arms?" he asked.
"Well, then your screwed. Unlike other paintballers, we dress like this to make it even harder. No matter what, your gonna have some bruises later." I smirked.
"Such a lovely game." he muttered. We all got onto the bus and drove to the paint ball course. We all put on our helmets so no one would see our faces and reconize us. I rented the guns and amo while they went off to wait for me at the course like the lazy bums they are. As I walked to the course where they were waiting, trying not to drop anything, I felt gazes on my back. As I got to the group, they all took their guns and grabbed the colored paint according to shirt color. I still felt the gazes on my back, and by the way Alice was scwirming I could tell she felt them too. As I was loading the gun with paint balls, I herd foot steps approaching us. All of us turned around to face a group of 4-5 teens our age, all boys. Most of them were staring at Alice and I, but a few were sizing Ian, David, and Kass up. They all were in gray jackets, blue jeans, and brown boots.
"What do you want?" David said, almost growling. I take it he noticed the way they were staring at us.
"Just wondering what two cute girls like this are walking around with only a T-shirt to protect them." One said. Ian was slowly shifting to Alice's side.
"We decided that if you get shot, you should feel all the pain instead of letting your clothing take the blow." Ian said, his voice as cold as ice. He put his arm around Alice.
"Name's Ian, you guys?" Ian asked politely.
"My name is Drake," said the one wh was still checking me out, " This is Tom, Pete, Sam, and Rob," as he said their names, he pointed to them, "What are your guys names?"
"My name's David, this is Alice, Kass, and Alex." my now pissed off brother said. Only when I felt the arm around my waist did I realize Kass had shifted to stand beside me. As soon as he did this, I saw a few of the guys glare at him. He glared back, even though you couldn't his eyes due to his helmet, I still saw a few of them shiver. Before they could say anything else, Ian dragged Alice to the course we rented, opened the gate and went in. David followed along with me and Kass. As soon as all of us were in, Kass shut and locked the gate. David shook of what just happened.
"Okay, we have 1 minute to get to a spot, then the shooting starts, Okay?" David set the timer.
"Okay...go!"
There was chapter 10, sorry it took forever to update. Review to see what happens next.
