Hi guys sorry for the late update, real life has been kicking my ass again.

hope you enjoy :)


Seth's POV

For the first time since I met her I did not want to be alone with Kate. I exchanged a look with my brother who also sensed that Kate was pissed.

If looks could kill we would be dead.

Sighing I told Richie and Scott to go finally leaving me alone with Kate. Closing the door behind them I turned round only to have my head whip to one side harshly I grabbed my jaw and looked at Kate in shock she had actually punched me but let's be honest who could blame her?

"How could you" she hissed folding her arms across her chest I saw hurt in her eyes making me feel like complete and utter shit

"That's a good right hook you got there sweetheart"

She sighed "Seth this is my family, they've been through enough if you need to take someone take me"

Shaking my head I set my gun on the table where boy wonder had left his guitar. I grabbed Kate's arms "This is what's going to happen as soon as we cross I'm going to let your family go" her eyes lit up "now you can stay with them or with us" she bit her lip

Kate's POV

Could I really leave my family after everything which had happened? I wonder if momma knew what kind of relationship I have with the brothers now she's in heaven. This wasn't a simple yes or no answer. My dad was a wreck and Scott had started to change I could see it, he no longer prayed or played his video games or talked to the people at school he had become more…violent? He fought at school we argued a lot more than we used to could I really leave them?

"I can't answer you now things have…changed Seth"

My eyes watered

Seth's POV

Shit!

I wrapped my arms around her and tucked her into me I knew this had something to do with her mom but I didn't want to ask her she seemed to be carrying this weight on her shoulders her body language had changed.

She seemed more prepared you know if you're about to fight or start a race? Your body was on edge this was how I think Kate felt.

Almost like she had the family problems on her shoulders and she was fighting for everything to stop herself from falling apart.

"Listen to me" I kissed her head before holding her checks she looked at me with her watery eyes which ripped my fucking heart to shreds even more

"I promise nothing will happen ok? Nothing will happen to them" she nodded and stood on her tiptoes to kiss my lips. Her lips were soft against mine it was without a doubt the most tender kiss I had ever had, shit when I did turn into Bridgett Jones? It was slow and unrushed Kate pulled back and gave me a small smile

"Ok"

Nodding I pecked her lips once before detaching myself from her lips "alright"

Picking my gun I grabbed the door handle she pulled her backpack over her shoulder and nodded "alright here goes nothing" opening the door Kate went out first and all hell broke loose.

Richie POV

Trust his brother to make the wrong decision as per usual he told the fullers to move to the back before making his way back to his brother.

Richie had managed not to be caught by the officers

Idiots

Turning a corner he heard gunshots he shot one officer in the back and the other in the leg. He shot open a door before kicking his way in he stopped when he reached the forth door and felt a gun pressed against his head

"Having fun brother?" Richie grinned

Seth held Kate to the door his body blocking her from danger "Jesus Richie" Seth lowered his gun "you know a little heads up would be nice, it will go a long way from getting you killed"

Richie noticed Kate no longer held the angry look on her face instead it was replaced by fear as Seth removed his arm across from Kate he saw his brother entwine his hand with Kate

"Stop arguing what do we do?" Kate asked

"TheRV's around back"

"You did what?" Seth snapped

"I told you we should move it to the back so I did"

Bullets entered the room leaving holes in the door

Shit!

I opened the door and wrapped my arms around Kate she held on tightly to my arm as I heard my brother behind me. As me and Kate turned the corner gunshots were heard behind us. My brother yelled and Kate screamed as my brother was shot in the arm

"Seth" Kate tried to get out of my arms and run to Seth but I held on tight, if one of those fuckers hurt her no one would live.

"I'm fine go!"

Kate's POV

I gasped for breath as I entered the RV my brother was sat by the table and my dad was behind the wheel.

"You ok Kate-cakes"

Nodding I leaned against the wall as the adrenaline pumped through my veins it had been a long time since I felt this feeling. I jumped as a load bang came from above

Please be Seth

Footsteps walked to the end of the RV before knocking

"Move" Richie spoke to my dad who put the RV to first and drove away. Seth climbed through the back window

"Go sit over there" I past Seth who looked me over before nodding and giving me a small smile

"Did I call it or did I call it" Richie said

Seth sighed and patted his brother on the shoulder "Yeah you called it"

It was a very awkward ride.

Seth sat up front with dad while Richie pointed the gun at me and my brother…well Scott really. Seth had placed a bandage to cover his wound but I saw him wince when we hit a pothole when Scott looked out the window I mouthed to Richie

Your brother's arm

He frowned and turned to his brother

"How's the arm brother?"

Seth looked our way

"It's fine Richie" his eyes met mine "Don't worry"

Richie met my concerned eyes and stood up still pointing the gun at Scott

"Double check"

I nodded and managed to move myself from the table and make my way to Seth
