The In Between || [BxB]

Kade would not be appreciative...

Kade POV

I almost finished the drawing but i gave up. It was starting to look more like an astronaut than anything. I put down my phone frustrated and lay down to listen to my music

But it was interrupted by the sound of screaming.

My body jolts out of bed and runs downstairs

"What is going on?" I ask, annoyed, before I even get to the living room, where everyone seemed to be.

I stop at the doorway of the living room and my body fails to function.
I'm pretty sure even my eyes stop function because there's no way im seeing what i'm seeing

"Ari?" I ask out of breath

It feels like I just got the wind knocked out of me. My breath hitches when I realize the screams were coming from her.

Her pretty brown doe eyes are covered in tears. My eyes darken and look around the room to see the culprit who made he cry and i immediately know why she's crying

Cam has his hand around her arms squeezing her.

"Let me go" she cries but Cameron doesn't relent.

"Let her go" I say calmly but with a hint of anger. If he doesn't let her go right now... She's gonna rip her arm off by the way she trying to run away from him while he's grabbing her

"Im not gonna get away from her just because you want me to" he snarkily says back

"Let her go" i try again

"Dont fucking tell me what to d-"

I snap at him, not caring about the punishment I might get later or how people will look at me.
The ONLY thing I care about right now is Ariel. She might end up in a full blown panic attack if this continues

"LET HER GO. RIGHT. NOW. CAMERON. GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER BEFORE I MAKE YOU" I yell at him, ignoring everyone's gaze's

He quickly lets her go and she calms down a little but her pretty eyes are still clouded with tears. I clench my teeth. I don't like to see her cry.

"Ari"  I say softly, everyone is staring at me but I ignore them.
If she remembers me
My thoughts halt at the possibility that she doesn't.
If she remembers me then she'll stop crying. She'll know that she is safe.
I get closer to her as I shrink myself to look smaller and friendly. Ignoring everyone who looks like they want to stop me from upsetting the poor girl.

"Wai-"

"Papa Kai?" She says looking up at Me. It hurts to see her like this. My heart clenches at the sight of her. She looks the same as that day

"Yep Ry it's me" i can feel all eyes on us. Everyone's studying our encounter. I let a tear drop from my eye but I have a smile on my face. I'm happily distressed.

She just stares at me like I'm her world and I do the same. She is my world.
She runs to me as fast as her little chubby legs can take her, trying to get away from the guys.

"KAI! Help me!" she screams and cries as she runs into my arms. Running away from her potential danger. I bend down to engulf her crying frame.

I grab her in a hug and stand up with her in my arms. She buries her head into my chest
"I've got you girl. You're okay" I try to reassure her by patting on her tangled brown curls. I rock her in my arms as she starts to calm a little bit more. "You're okay, I promise. I've got you "I say, kissing the top of her head.

"I missed you" she says in a soft whisper.

I smile at that. She missed me. Another tear flows from my eye
