Cautious Love

I closed my eyes, and wrapped my arm around her, this felt so comforting.. amazing.. and I was also really happe she still trusted me, especially with what has happened to her.. I twirled her red hair in my fingers for a little while, then my hand fell limp on her shoulder, and I was out, dead asleep..

I was woken up my a flash of some sort, a camera? I groaned and opened my eyes. It was.. Chuck? "This is so going on Facebook." He said, and I quickly stood up, and I grabbed his phone, and before he could do anything I deleted the photo.. I also gave him a really, really hard punch to the face. How did he know this place was here? "Fuck off." I sneered.

I woke up with a groan, slowly sitting up and rubbing my eyes. "Angus.. What's going on?" I asked sleepily. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see Chuck there with a bloody nose. "Get the fuck out!" I screeched, getting up and charging after him, cursing at him furiously. "Sure thing Angel Face." He smirked and he disappeared into the trees. I watched him leave and I slowly sat down. How did he know this place was here?

He was not getting away with that. "Hell no." I said, and I charged after him, finding him, I grabbed him by the shoulder and I pressed him to a tree trunk roughly with my forearm. "If I hear one fucking thing about this, I will personally find you, and I will hurt you so badly you will not wake up until next year." I said, holding him there for a while, I felt Astorias soft hands trying to pry me off him. "Got it?!" I shouted, and he cringed a bit and agreed. I freed him and he coughed and coughed, able to breathe. He walked away, and was soon gone.

I didn't say anything, I just watched him and waited for him to calm down. I knew better than to get in his way while he's angry. After a moment, I gently grabbed his hand. "Let's go back.. I'm tired."

"Okay.. me too." I said, looking down at my now purple knuckles. I kissed her forehead and I walked back with her. I laid down, pulling her with me.

I got back in the same position, and I leaned up and kissed his neck before going back to sleep. The next morning I woke up, and I found that I didn't want to move. This just felt so warm and comfortable.

I opened my eyes to a facefull of red hair. I felt her moving and I rubbed her arm. "Morning.." I said.

"Morning.." I answered sleepily. I slowly got off of him and ran my fingers through my hair, yawning softly.

"Morning." I said, and I sat up, and I pulled my phone out and checked my messages.
You owe me money, get your ass to the shelter now.
Shit. "I.. Uh.. have to get back to the shelter..." I said, and I quickly stood and walked out of the fort and I rushed to the shelter.

((So I have like a crazy and dramatic idea..))
I frowned. What the fuck. Why would the shelter need him?

I quickly rushed to the shelter, I still had to get my stuff anyway.. I walked in, and went to the lockers they provided, and I grabbed my stuff, throwing the bag over my shoulder. I felt something dull press to my back, and I heard a click. A gun. "Money, now." He said, qnd I quickly pulled the wad of cash out of my pocket and handed it to him. I turned and faced him.. he pressed the gun to my shoulder and pulled the trigger. "Fuck!" I yelled, falling to my knees , holding my shoulder. It was through and through, not a fatal shot, thank god.. people were screaming and running around.
One woman helped me up. And took me to the hospital.

When Angus didn't show up after a few hours, I started to get worried. I sent him countless texts and voicemails asking where he was.

I got a few stitches and it had missed everything else in my shoulder, lucky.. I got pain medicine and I was glad the bandage was small, and unnoticeable with a tee shirt on. I headed to Astorias house, seeing a very unhappy Astoria in the hallway. "Sorry.. phone was dead, if you texted or called. The shelter was very busy, sorry.."

"You're hiding something." I said immediately after he finished his shitty excuse. "I know you, Angus. You know you can't hide anything for me." I walked over to him. "Are you okay?"

"Im fine.. dont freak." I said, and I slowly, and painfully took my shirt off.. showing the bandage on my shoulder.

I gasped and gingerly touched the bandage. "Angus.. What happened?"

"I.. owed someone money. After I gave it to them, they shot me." I said, looking down. "Dont worry I'm fine, okay? Its all taken care of, I promise." I said

"You need to get yourself out of there and come here.. Now." I said. I can't stand the thought of him getting hurt. Next time it could be his heart.

"I have everything." I said, and I set my bag down. "Thats all my stuff, I'm out of there." I said. And I put my shirt back on. I picked my bag up and walked past her and into the uest bedroom, that will be my bedroom.

I watched him walk away and I sighed, returning to my bedroom and finishing my homework.

After I was unpacked I walked down the hall and up the stairs to her bedroom, and I walked in and sat beside her. "Hey.."

I looked over at him and closed my book. "What's up?"

"Nothing, really." I said, looking down. "What should we do today?" I asked, smiling up at her, I was worried that she was mad at me..

I shrugged. "I don't know." I answered. I sighed and looked out the window.

"Lunch it is. Lets go." I said, smiling. I took her hang and tugged on her untill she got up. "Dont be a lazybutt."

I sighed. "I'm not....." I mumbled, but I follows him nonetheless. We went to Swensons, a pretty good sandwich place.

I could tell she was in a bit of a mood, I ate my sandwich awkwardly. "Wheres your mom?"

"Work." I answered, taking a bite from my burger. "She bartends now." She used to be a lawyer..

"Ah.. well at least she is working." I said. "I still want to be a cop." I said, taking a bite again

"That's cool." I answered. "I was thinking about the military. Or just be a translator. I want to travel."
