Alice

"Nick," I whisper for the hundredth time into the cold air. My breath fans out from my lips and just as I'm about to pull into his driveway I stop in front of this little girl who looked around 11 years old.

She stares at me with wide eyes and fear. I don't blame her it's the blood.

"Want a free bike?" I smile. She nods and gets on the bike.

"You're bleeding." She states and I nod.

"Yeah. Anyways have fun with your new bike." I say and wave as she rides off calling for her mommy.

Standing in the road I feel everything come down on me.

I start to sob. And I don't stop myself. My emotions are all over the place. I let out ugly loud cries as I sit on the curb in front of Nick's house.

Jessie hates me for something I didn't do. And I have nowhere to live. And I'm all bloody and I hate blood.

"Alice?" A deep voice behind me questions and I start crying harder knowing it's Nick. Suddenly I don't want him to see me this way.

"Alice!" He yells and suddenly he's behind me and pulling me into his strong arms.

"Alice what happened. Tell me what happened. Are you okay please tell me your okay I don't know what I would do- who did this to you why are you bleeding?" He demands lifting me up bridal style.

My arm hangs down loosely at his side and my other lays itself on his chest.

"I'll tell you just- I need a second," I say referring to the blood and finally meet his eyes.

I gasp when I see how cold they are. How they look at my body with anger and sadness and I start to cry again.

He kicks his front door open with his foot then slams it shut behind himself. I start to feel dizzy from my loss of blood and I grip his shirt the best I can.

"Stay awake Alice. Please." He begs taking the stairs two at a time and holding me close to his racing heart.

My eyes start to close on their own accord. Keep them open for Nick.

I feel myself being placed onto a soft surface and realize I'm in Nick's bed.

Through my blurry eyes, I see him pulling his shirt off. He brings his navy blue shirt against my chest to stop the bleeding and he mumbles something.

"What?" I ask when his voice becomes distant.

"Alice. You lost a lot of blood and your chest is still bleeding." He says and I hear his voice is in pain.

"I'm okay. Just tired" I whispered closing my eyes.

"No. No Alice stay awake." He pleads but the darkness already encompasses me.

I was supposed to stay awake for Nick. I'm a failure.

~~

My eyes flutter open and I see its dark outside.

I gasp and sit up quickly. Where am I?

I hold my head as pain shoots through the back of it quickly.

"Lay down Alice." Nick insists and is suddenly at my side. He cradles my head and slowly pushes me back against his warm bed.

The small lamp at his desk illuminating the side of his face.

I feel the side of the bed dip and I look up at him. "I'm sorry Nick," I say quietly and a tear falls out of my eye. Everything comes back to me quickly.

"Why are you sorry Alice? There's nothing to be sorry about?" He wipes my wet cheeks with his thumb.

"I'm sorry you had to take care of me. I just didn't know what to do or where to go-" I start to say.

"Don't ever say that again. Alice, I want to take care of you I want to be by your side I want to be the one you run too when you're scared." He whispers and leans down. He kisses my lips slowly.

I go to kiss him back but he pulls away. He places a tender kiss to the side of my lips and helps me sit up against his headboard.

"What happened Alice." He asks and stands up. I start to panic thinking he's going to leave me but luckily he just comes back with a clear glass of water and hands it to me.

I drink the whole thing and sigh out feeling slightly better.

I lean my head on his shoulder and tell him everything.

When I'm finished I look up at him. He just stares blankly across the room. He didn't speak the whole time he just listened.

"Nick say something." I frown.

He shakes his head letting out a deep breath. He runs his hand through his hair before standing up and towering over me.

"I was leaving for work when I saw you. If I left earlier..." he says frustrated and sits back down. "It's my fault."

"What?" I say shocked. There's no way this is his fault.

"This is all my fault, Alice! I just ruin everything." He says seriously.

I stand up and walk in front of him but he's quick to stop me. "Don't Alice you'll get hurt more." He insists and drags me back to the bed but I place my hands on his chest.

"Nick no it's not your fault. It isn't even mine it's Brodie's." I say truly. He takes a step forward bringing us together.

My hands fan the space of his chest and abs and he sighs. He places a kiss on my head. "It's not your fault," I say again.

~~

"Look you can stay here for the night, my parents aren't home so feel free to use the bathroom across the hall or take a shower if you need one but just one thing... no one can know. My parents can't find out." Nick says running his hand through my hair again.

"Nick I can't ask you to do that," I say and he shifts from under me.

"Let me rephrase that. You're going to stay here until I find you a new place to stay that's not with my psycho parents and your mental cousin." He says and I sigh.

"Nick."

"Alice." He says then kisses the top of my head.

"Thank you," I mumble and he flips us around without putting much weight on me.

He kisses my lips with a hidden tenderness I've never seen him before.

He pulls away slightly and I lift my head up and connect our lips again.

Suddenly he pushes my thighs apart and pulls me up and onto his lap.

I laugh wrapping my arms and legs around him.

My laugh soon turns into a moan when he kisses my neck. He bites the skin and pulls away. He licks the spot he just bit. I grip his dark hair in my small pale hands and push my weight onto him.

He begins to kiss lower and I can't help but move my hips slightly. "Fuck Alice." He breathes on my skin and the heat of his breath makes my skin tingle in pure passion.

He bites the top of my breast that's showing from how big his t-shirt was on me, it was hanging low. I let out a moan and he wraps his arms around my waist tightly causing me to rub harder against him.

He breathes out and kisses around the cut on my chest.

One of his hands comes up and his thumb carefully traces over the painful bruise and cut from this morning. But all I can feel is the heat his skin leaves on me as he caresses the skin.

He stared at the injury sadly and doesn't move to kiss me again.

"Why'd you stop?" I ask staring at his swollen lips.

"I don't want to hurt you. I'm too rough." He states.

"I don't care I like how rough you can be." I encourage trying to get more friction from him.

He grabs my hips tightly. "If you are serious I'll show you another time." His nose trails up my neck to my cheek. "I will show just how rough we can be." He whispers sensually in my ear and I shiver pressing myself into him.

"Not tonight then?" I whisper against his lips pushing myself against him and his blue eyes immediately snap up to mine.

He lets out a groan. "You're so evil."

I kiss the side of his lips and I feel him smirk. "Well I mean if you want to-" he starts and I shake my head.

"Nope." I crawl off him but he's quick to pull me back he pulls the covers over both of us and we fall into a deep sleep wrapped in each other's arms.
