The Nerd And The Bad Boy

Chapter Twelve

Everything was going fine until the patio door slammed shut. Colt and I broke apart, freezing when we saw Tom.

"So, little Alice, I've caught you in the act, huh? Think your so brave? Well guess what?" Tom strutted over, "Get over here. Now."

Colt put me behind him. "Why wont you just let us see each other?" Colt's voice was deadly quiet.

"Get out've the way, pretty boy, you better start running." Tom warned. Colt didn't move a muscle.

I place my hands on his back, before looking around him at Tom, who was very pissed.

"Get. Out. Now, While you still have the chance," Tom warned again.

"Go, Colten, I'll catch up with you later," I whispered, kissing his back. He stiffened but then relaxed.

Colt turned to face me, "I wont leave you defenseless, Ali, what if he hurts you?"

Again I glanced at Tom, who now looked even more pissed. I wrapped my arms around Colt's torso. "I don't know, but I-I love you, Colt."

Colt wrapped me up in his embrace, kissing my forehead. "I love you, Ali."

I gave his waist a squeeze.

"If he hurts you, call me and I'll come get you. You can stay with me."

I gave him a confused look, "I don't have your number."

"I made Miranda add it to your new phone," he kissed me.

"I said, get out! I mean it!" Tom screamed.

Colt swam over to the edge, pulling himself up and strutting over to Tom. "You hurt her, and you'll be wishing you were never born." Colt was easily a full head taller then Tom, not to mention had more muscle mass.

Tom glared, "I'll do whatever I want, you may or may not see her again."

"Fuck off, asshole," Colt growled.

"Go, Colten," I swam diligently over to the side and pulled myself up just as Colt had done.

Colt sent me a look before walking slowly away, going through the patio door and out of sight.

"You, little miss, are so dead," Tom took a step towards me, a threatening step. Tingles of fear captured my heart in its tight grip.

"A-and if you hurt me, I'll fire you," I gulped,trying not to be scared and failing majorly.

He cackled bitterly, "You cant fire me, I work for your mom, not you."

I shrunk backwards, unable to hide my fear. I shot forward like a speeding bullet, knocking Tom over, but I didn't stop there. I ran inside, locking the patio door behind me and racing to my room, where I also locked the door.

In my room, I hid in the corner, trembling because of how scared I was. I hated Tom and I knew he'd get back into the house. He had a key, and he would get me, I had to come out eventually. I only had some snacks in here although I did have a walk-in bathroom.

I glanced at the window, an idea coming to me. If I could climb out of it and get safely to the ground, I could call Colt and go to his house.

A fist banged on my door, it was now or never. I took a deep breath, grabbed my most prized possession, secured my phone in my pocket and opened the window. The banging continued, but I was out the window and climbing down the lattice that had a bunch of vines on it from whatever flowers they were.

Once I reached the ground, I ran. When I was out of sight of the house, I took out my phone and called Colt.

He answered on the first ring. "Ali? Whats wrong? Did something happen?"

"No, Im just, uh, taking precautions. Can you come pick me up?"

"Sure, where are you?"

I told him where I was and we disconnected.
