keeping careful watch for possible danger or difficulties. - "Is that Lukas?" Nick asked in a worrisome glance over me while I hoisted him into Denny's.
"Y-yeah." I shook my head and his eyes wielded a glance of pure betrayal.
"You told me you weren't in contact with him." He bit his lip in frustration and continued to lift my hands to assure himself I was not hurt.
I had to be vigilant with both Nick and Lukas. Nick wasn't dangerous but I hated letting him control me, even if it was to protect me.
"Cut it out." I warned, my hands freeing themselves. I have had enough with guys not letting me protect myself for one night.
Sure, I was a little scared back there, but who wouldn't be? Lukas could've had a gun, he could've hurt me, or he could've tried.

"Nope, all good." I smiled.
"Okay, well, text me if you have any problems." He kissed my forehead.
I was happy Nick was so caring, it just felt overwhelming when everyone in my life was blocking me from deciding for myself.

Looking up from my seatbelt buckle, my eyes connected with the ice blue set, maybe as ice blue as his heart.
A solid object connected with my head and a click sounded. A gun.
"You hurt me, is this what you deserve?" - sorry if i have been so slow? -c
