The Bad Boy kidn*pped Me

Chapter 10 - Sisterly Love

Leon

"Please, Eva, they didn't mean it like that," I said to her trying to console her. Why you ask? Three reasons. Firstly, Eva's a sweetheart. I mean it's the first time that I've spent only one single day with a girl and started liking her really much, and for the first time it's not about the girl's looks or body, it's about her sweet, cheerful nature. Even though she was kidn*pped, she didn't act like a hostage which I was so expecting after everything Lars told us, but my God, this girl was funny. And seeing tears in her eyes wasn't a very pretty sight. Two, my best friends were being jerks to her and even Lars wasn't there, so I was trying to be her knight in shining armor. I repeat, don't get me wrong, this is the first time I'm actually thinking to consider a girl my sister. And the third reason, I forgot.

"Just let me go," she sobbed and I felt my heart breaking. Like, ouch. It hurt seeing her like this. Wow, I really get attached to people soon. Haha just kidding, it's only in her case. I let go of her hand reluctantly because I knew I was no one to control her or order her around. f**k, no one could do that. At least not on my watch. Oh. I just remembered the third reason! She reminded me of my sister. Okay, maybe that wasn't the original third reason, but I'm trying to save you from dying out of curiosity. So yes, she reminded me of my little sister. I lost her in a car accident. It was really painful. And it was all my fault. It hurt, hurt so much that I can't begin explain.

Enough lying, you devil!

Okay fine, my sister is not dead, she's in NY, with her boyfriend. One can try to get a bit of sympathy, right?

So I was super pissed at Noah and Slade for lying to her and suddenly treating her like that. Who the hell do they think they are? I was about to find out.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys? You just made her cry for no reason! What the f**k is wrong with you?!" I yelled at them.

"Are you even thinking properly, you i***t?" Slade snapped at me.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"You have no brains or what? You were about to tell her that Caleb had been stalking her!" Noah said angrily.

"So? What's wrong with that?" I asked them, I was actually confused.

"She would've been scared of him her entire life, you i***t! And all his dreams would be shattered. He loves her, we are his friends, we can't do that to him!" Slade said in a harsh tone, scowling at me.

"Love, my foot! If he loved her, he wouldn't have forced himself on her! He's just obsessed with her you dimwits, don't you get it?" I practically spat at them.

"Wow, says the ultimate player of our group. What do you even know about love, Leon?" Noah said coldly.

"I might not know much, but you don't either. At least I have enough morals to know that you don't go around forcing yourself on girls!" I shot back, quickly and sincerely. And that shut them up. Wow, this was easier than I thought.

"You're actually right for once in your life, Leo." Slade said nodding his head. "It actually is an obsession. I would never have stalked Lily, I would've given her space. I would've tried to meet her normally, not emotionally blackmail and lie to my bestfriend to kidnap her or something," he added. Slade was our golden boy. Fell in love with that Lily girl (man she was hot), got his heart broken, went through a lot, but still not a player like us. Okay, even Lars wasn't exactly a player but girls kept on falling on him and me. We couldn't help it, so I decided to help them usually and he helped them sometimes. I sound like a two-year-old right now, but I've already decided to keep this PG-13.

"Exactly my point," I remarked, smirking victoriously. You can never win when you're competing with Leon Rush.

"Okay, I get your point, but what are we supposed to do now?" Noah asked.

"Apologize?" Slade suggested.

"Yes, but it won't be enough, we'll have to do something else as well." I replied.

"Something else?" Noah asked.

"I think I know just the thing," I stated smiling.

****

We all walked to the door of Eva's room.

"Oh man, she's still crying," Slade said worriedly when we heard noises of sniffing.

"Shush. Let me handle this." I ordered them and they took a step back, making way for me. Wow, I'm finally in charge. I knocked on the door lightly.

"Eva?" I called.

"Go away!" She replied. I could tell from her voice that she had been crying. Okay, maybe because Slade had already mentioned it.

"We are ready to answer all your questions," I offered.

"How do I know you won't lie?" She asked. Wow I didn't even think about lying. This girl is definitely smart. She so cleverly persuaded me to watch Suicide Squad back in the lounge and now she says this. So intelligent. *Salutes*

"Why are you saluting the door?" Noah asked making me jump. Oops.

"Shut up, I'm trying to make a connection with her heart," I told him making him and Slade roll their eyes.

"Eva, please I promise we won't lie. You can ask Lars the same questions again and see if he gives you the same reply." I suggested. Wow, I'm the genius of the century. After a few minutes of silence, the door clicked and swung open, and there she stood, looking all miserable. Her eyes were swollen, her cute face stained with tears. Her nose was red like a tomato. But she still managed to look good. I took a step forward to enter but she held up a hand making me stop dead in my tracks.

"You won't enter until you answer my questions, and only the person I ask will answer," she said. Someone's stubborn.

"As you wish, milady," I bowed in front of her. "Ask away."

"Was Lars stalking me?" She asked the same question again, looking at me. That was my cue to answer.

"No, it was Caleb. He stalked you." I replied.

"Did he... Like... Install cameras in my..." She trailed off but I could tell what she was asking. She was probably asking due to the same bathroom items.

"No, he followed you to the supermarket," I reassured her.

"He's so creepy!" She exclaimed, annoyed. I shrugged. She then looked at Noah. "When will I be allowed to leave?" She asked looking him in the eye.

"That depends on Lars and when we are able to persuade him that Caleb is only obsessed with you and not actually in love." He answered honestly.

"You're going to try to persuade him?" She squealed happily.

"Yep," Slade replied, "But the credit goes to this i***t in front of you," he said pointing towards me. "He persuaded us." Okay, my ego's hurting.Why does everyone keep calling me an i***t? I'm gonna cry any second now. Kidding.

"You did?" Eva said looking at me now.

"Don't mention it," I said with a smug look, waving a hand. I was expecting her to thank me, but what she did next surprised me. Instead of thanking, she slapped my arm. "Ow, that's what I get for helping?" I whined.

"Couldn't you do that earlier?" She scolded, a glint of amusement in her eyes.

What a grateful girl she is. Smooth, Eva, real smooth.

And then she surprised me again. She suddenly hugged me and whispered "Thank you, Leon," in my ear as I smiled and hugged her back. Aww why couldn't she be my little sister? Just saying so you don't think in the wrong way, okay? I just like her as a friend. Damn, I still can't remember the original third reason. And then I say why do people call me an i***t?
