Fearless

Chapter 26

"I'm going to fucking kill him, I swear to god." Carter yelled.

I was sat at the kitchen counter as Carter paced the room and my Mom typed angrily into her phone.

"Calm down Carter baby, I'm sure we can figure this out nicely." Jocelyn said sweetly, stood beside my mother.

"Nicely? That boy has just messed with the wrong family. I'll kill him myself if Carter doesn't. Nobody hurts my babies." she huffed.

Although, that was a lot more of a realistic threat looking at my Mom's track record.

"Please, would you both calm down for a minute. Nobody is killing him." I said.

"Speak for yourself." Mom said under her breath as she placed her phone down and looked back up at me.

"I think he was scared enough by Lucas pinning him against the wall." I sighed.

"Well thank god he was there to put that boy in his place." she continued.

I hadn't told them about the fact that he almost hit me. If you thought they were angry now, I didn't want to imagine what they'd be like then.

I'm afraid that they might actually kill him. They'd probably get away with it if they did too...

I was just hoping that Lucas wouldn't say anything.

"At least you kicked the shit out of him. I would've paid to see that." Carter smirked.

"You did what?" Mom and Jocie both asked.

"I may have um...punched him...slightly, and then kicked him...in the balls...a little bit." I said hesitantly, cringing at my words.

An unexpected smile spread across my Mom's face as she rushed over to me and squished me into a hug.

"That's my girl!"

"I don't want any of you to do anything to him though. It'll only get us in trouble and he's really not worth it." I sighed as she released me.

"Oh honey, you really have no idea." Mom laughed loudly. "We could do whatever we want to him and his entire family, and no-one would know a thing."

"Wait seriously?" Carter said as his ears pricked.

"Yes but don't be getting any ideas, Mr." she replied, slapping him lightly across the shoulder.

"Whatever you do, just don't let your dad find out." Jocelyn said, sipping the tea from her cup.

Just as she said that, all of our heads snapped towards the doorway as we heard the front door slam loudly.

"I think it may be a bit too late for that." Mom said, looking at me apologetically.

"Who the hell does that boy think he is?" Dad screamed as he stormed into the room to join us.

"Dad, please calm down. It's okay." I said, trying to reassure him but failing.

"Okay? If that boy thinks he can hurt my daughter and get away with it, he's got another thing coming. First he went after Carter and now you. This is unacceptable and I'm going to destroy everything he loves if it's the last thing I do." he yelled, cracking his knuckles angrily.

"Don't you think that's a bit over dramatic? I hate him too but he's a dumb 17-year-old boy, I don't think it's necessary to get my entire mafia family on him." I said as Carter laughed.

"I don't care if it's over dramatic, I want to kill him for what he's done." he said.

"It happened just over an hour ago and I've already heard 4 people say they want to kill him. As much as I agree, I think we all need to calm down a little, don't you think?"
