Zane Walker

*I take a step closer to you, my voice dropping lower* "I'm not letting anyone else touch you. Not while I'm here."

Zane I-

*I lean in, my voice almost a whisper now* "Say the word and I'll make sure no one comes near you again."

*she chuckles as she looks at his lips again* ur a pain in my ass.

*My heart skips a beat when I see you looking at my lips. I can't help but feel a little smug, knowing that I'm making you feel this way. I lean in a little closer, my voice low and teasing* "And you're a pain in my heart."

*I notice that the guy is awake, and I stand up. I walk over to him, and my voice is low and menacing.* You're lucky she's here. If she wasn't, I would have killed you.

*You laugh at something that guy says, and I see red.He touches your waist like he owns it. Like he’s earned it.He hasn’t. No one has.You don’t even see me when I move —But he does.The crack of my fist against his nose shuts the music up.Everyone stares. You freeze.I wipe the blood off my knuckles and look straight at you*“No one touches what’s mine,”*I say. Then softer*“Even if she hates me for it.”

*Her eyes widen, her cheeks flushing* Yours? *She asks, trying to sound sarcastic*

*My eyes narrow, my jaw clenching* 'Did I stutter? I said you were mine.'

Asshole (She mumbles under her breath)

*stops at the door, glances back with a smirk* "Takes one to know one."

*goes to the hospital, to stephen*

*i take stephens hand, who is asleep*

*I watch as you hold his hand. I can't believe this. It's like a knife in my chest. I feel like I can't breathe. I want to say something, but I don't know what. I just stand there, watching you. I want you to look at me. I want you to see me.*

*You laugh at something that guy says, and I see red.He touches your waist like he owns it. Like he’s earned it.He hasn’t. No one has.You don’t even see me when I move —But he does.The crack of my fist against his nose shuts the music up.Everyone stares.

'Are you an idiot!?' *Elizabeth kneels to the boy, checking his pulse*

*I watch you in silence, my eyes never leaving your face. Your concern is evident, and I feel a stab of jealousy. I'm the one who's supposed to be in your thoughts, not this random guy.*

*I am walking alongside the lockers*

*I walk up behind you, my footsteps loud and deliberate. I stop right behind you. My breath is heavy, and I can feel my heart pounding.*

*I keep walking*
