Still Brett's POV:
My fists clenched as I pulled away from Eve, my face become emotionless, but my eyes showed the emotion I was trying to hide. Anger nothing but full steamed anger. I've done many horrid things in my past, but I have never harmed a woman like Seth did. And I had a feeling by the look of fear that was glowing brightly in her eyes that he planned on doing more to her. My jaw tightened as I thought about him touching Eve, kissing Eve, hugging Eve, it all made me want to skin him. I could honestly say that I've never been this worked up over a girl...it was strange, but I welcomed it. Eve gave me meaning to a life I once wanted to end. But what always made me want her more was how nave she was about everything around her. She didn't know how beautiful she was, she didn't know how many men were after her, and she didn't know that I loved her. I tensed a little as I felt a soft hand on my cheek, it wasn't that I didn't want her touch, I was just a little shocked from being in my state of thought.
"Brett are you alright? I don't like seeing you so emotionless...it makes me think of a robot." She said with a fragile smile. Even though my anger was in full gear a small chuckle broke from my lips. She's done it again...tamed the wild beast inside me, by just a few words. The girl was amazing.
"I'm fine and I had no idea you thought of me as a robot." I said with a playfully smirk. She smiled wider and shrugged.
"Only when you put on that mask of emotion that you're so good at doing." I shivered slightly as she let her hand drop, it brushed down my chest before it stopped by her side making a smacking sound. She had no idea how much I wanted her, how much I craved to call her mine, but I knew I had to take it slow. And I was fine with that, I loved her, and if she needed time then I would give her time.
I let out a sigh as I looked down at her, I wanted to kiss her, I wanted to hold her, but I had no idea how she felt toward me and I didn't want to ruin what we had...even if it wasn't what I wanted. She rubbed her arms because of the cold, but seemed to forget about the scratches on her one arm. She let out a pained yelp and bit her lip as she looked down at her arm. It started to bleed once again.
"I'm going to kill him Eve." My tone was dark as I looked down at her shocked face. I knew she wasn't scared, just surprised that I was showing this much anger. She had no idea how much I cared for her and it made me want to shake her until she realized it. She seemed to snap out of her daze because she quickly shook her head and grasped my arm in a tight hold.
"No! He'll hurt you...and then I-I..." She looked away as a tear fell from her eyes. My body tensed once again, as I watched her shake her head and wipe at her eyes. I hated to see her so broken, so fragile, but I needed to leave, I needed to find Seth and show him who's boss. With much regret I took my arm from her grasp and took a small step back. Her lip trembled as she watched me pull away from her and it made a cut deeper then any weapon could ever bring to my heart.
"B-Brett...dont." She pleaded as she took a step toward me, but I shook my head. She looked hurt by my actions, but it would have to wait, I needed to find Seth before he went back to his cabin. I glanced back at Eve and sighed.
"Eve trust me, I will be back and Seth will never lay a hand on you again." She looked down at the floor and nodded, but I knew she didn't trust me. And I understood why she didn't...she was scared of men and I just happened to be one. With one last lingering look I ran off into the forest and to a place I knew Seth was always at. The only problem was I had no idea if he was still there or not.
Eve's POV:
I watched with blurry eyes as Brett walked away from me. I hated how weak and broken I felt and I hated how much I wanted him to stay with me. He was a man just like all the others and only one thing came from men. And that was pain. But somehow I knew Brett was different. Maybe it was because he was always there for me or maybe it was because I knew he actually cared. Either way I knew I loved him...but I just didn't want to love him. After what Seth did it brought my fear back twice as bad. I closed my eyes at the thought and then reopened them to look out at the beautiful view of the lake. I've always dreamed about having a candle lit picnic at night, with the moon shining brightly so that even without the candles you could still see each other. I knew it was stupid to dream about something like that when I was scared of being that close to a man. But the truth was that somewhere inside I was longing for that prince charming to wake me from this horrible nightmare and show me a world that is filled with love. I just didn't realize that my prince charming had already found me.
Back to Brett's POV:
When I got to the lake my anger was in full blast. I kept thinking about Eve's bruised face and cut up arm, but most of all I was thinking about how this would effect her. She was probably scared out of her mind...and I just left her. My jaw clenched as I tried to decided weather or not to go back to her, or to find Seth and kick his a*s for touching Eve. But my decision was cut short as I heard a twig snap, my head spun in the direction to find Seth walking out of the Willow Tree with a bloody nose. I glared at him and took a step forward. He looked up and smirked.
"Hmm has lover boy come to make me wish I never touched his school boy crush? Well I hate to break it to you, but I did and man was it a nice feel up. The way-" I didn't let him finish as my fist collided with his face and let me tell you it wasn't a soft punch. A lot harder then what Eve did to his face, which I might add I was proud to see she made him bleed. He stumbled back and touched his face, before he straighten up and glared at me.
"You'll pay for that!" He yelled as he ran at me and aimed a punch to my stomach, but I quickly spun away and kicked him hard in the back. He fell to his knees and started coughing like an idiot, but that's what happens when kids like him try and mess with the big boys. I circled him until I could see his face and kicked him square in the jaw. His head flew upward as his back hit the ground. He stared up at me through his bloody face and the only thing I saw was fear. I smirked and kneeled down next to him.
"You so much as look at Eve again and I'll kill you in the most painful way I know." I said harshly as I glared at him. He gulped and quickly nodded, his eyes wide with fear. I got up and kicked him one more time, but before I left I added one last thing.
"And if you tell anyone about this, I'm sure they would also like to know why it happened." I said before walking back to the place I knew Eve would be. She didn't look like she was in the condition to walk, so even if she did try and get home she wouldn't make it too far without collapsing with exhaustion.
Eve's POV:
I sat by the edge of the lake with my knees held to my chest and my arms circling them. My eyes were half closed as I listened to the sound of nature, the grasshoppers singing a soft melody, the running sound of water, and the sound of the wind brushing the leaves in the trees. It was very relaxing...to a point where I felt like I was going to fall asleep. I was just about to shut my eyes fully when I felt someone put a hand on my shoulder. I jumped ten feet and let out a scream. Whoever it was apparently thought this was hilarious because they started laughing.
"Relax Eve it's just me." Brett said with smirk as he sat down next to me and rubbed my back. I playfully pushed him away and put a hand to my chest.
"You scared me half to death! Don't ever do that again!" And in truth it did scare me more then it usually would. I mean wouldn't you be scared if a hand was placed on you're shoulder right after someone just tried to rape you? Yea that's what I thought..
Note to self: Never go out at night alone, unless you have good reason to.
"I didn't mean to scare you, I wasn't even thinking. I'm sorry." He said with a frown. I laughed softly and smiled.
"It's fine, just don't do it again." He nodded and pulled me into his arms. I felt the bats in my stomach return as he moved me so that I was sitting between his legs with my back to his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist and put his head on my shoulder. I could feel his warm breath on my neck making tiny shivers travel through me.
"I hate seeing you like this." He whispers as his fingers played with the tips of my long curly hair. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and couldn't help but smile. His eyes were filled with worry and concern, that made my heart melt. I've never had someone to hold me like this and actually care about my well being. Yes I had a dad and I'm sure you all think he isn't so bad, but in truth he is. Ever since my drunken mother left him for another drunk he has hated me ever since. When I was little my mother always hated me, I have no idea why, so I guess he thought she left because of me...and for a long time that's what I believed. I shook those thoughts out of my mind and let myself relax in Brett's arms. Enjoying my happiness for the time being because lets face it, it never lasts for me...never.
"Brett can I ask you something?" He nodded and nuzzled his face into my neck. I laughed a little and nudged him away slightly, wanting his full attention for this.
"Have you...ever been in love?" I asked softly as I looked out at the lake, not wanting to see his reaction. I figured that if I focused on the lake then I wouldn't feel so embarrassed, oh how wrong I was. He didn't answer for a while making me wish I could take my question back until he finally did answer.
"Yes." He simply whispered as he moved some hair out of my face, but it just sprang back into place like curls normally do. My heart sank a little as I looked farther out into the lake. The moon wasn't out, but the stars were and boy were they beautiful. My thoughts on love have always been that when you did finally fall in love, nothing can bring you apart. Just like the stars that have been up in the skies for centuries. So why was Brett not with that girl?
"What was she like?" I ask somewhat hesitantly, not that I was scared to ask, I just wasn't sure that I really wantedto know. He took a deep intake of air and let it out, making my hair swirl around a little before falling back into place.
"She's beautiful, but doesn't know she is. She has a bad habit of rocking on her heels when she lies or when she is nervous. Her eyes are the most amazing shade of green and when she smiles the world seems to smile with her." He chuckles at the thought before looking over at me and continuing. "She's a bit nave and half the time I find her in deep thought, weather its about what she did this morning or about her past, I will never know. She has the best attitude even though she shouldn't because of her past. She's the most caring person I've ever met. Everyone that meets her falls in love with her because of it. She's...perfect." He said with a sigh as he looked out at the lake. My heart sank even farther as he said all those wonderful things about the girl. She did seem perfect and it was no wonder that he loved her...he was perfect. It only made sense that the perfect would fall for the perfect.
"She sounds amazing, you seem perfect for her." I said with a sad smile as I looked up at him. He looked down at me and smiled also, I just didn't know that the girl he just described was in fact me.
After a while of talking and trying to make up our own names for the stars, we made our way back to the cabin. The walk home was filled with silence, but it wasn't an awkward silence just calm and relaxing. When we made it to the cabin both Jacob and David were sound asleep on the couch with the TV on. I felt bad that I was probably the reason that they tried to stay up. I mean I did tell them that I was going to be back before dark. With a sigh I walked over to my bed and plopped down, not even bothering to change before mumbling out a "Goodnight" and falling asleep....
