Daire's Pov

I was sitting alone in Willow's room waiting for her to finish getting ready.

I really didn't want to go to some dumb high school frat party. But Willow has never been and really wanted to go. But I don't feel right about this dumb party. Especially when she told me Amber Wallace and Lonnie Harper had invited her.

I looked up from my phone when I heard the bedroom door open.

I couldn't help but gape at Willow's beauty.

She blushes and pulls on her skirt. "I had bought this skirt for my sixteen birthday but I didn't wear it since I just went to burger king and a pet store," She said biting her lip. "Do I look okay?"

I shake my head and stand up. I place my hand on her waist and kiss her temple. "You look better than okay, Bud," I said pushing a string of black hair behind her ear. "And I love what you did to your hair."

She blushes and looks down. She pulls on the loop of my pants where my belt went. "You look nice too, Darry."

I smile at the nickname. "Thanks, babe," I whisper to her.

She steps away from me and grabs her purse. "Come on we're already late enough," She grabs my hand and walks us out of her room.

We stop and see Carter, Levi, Landon, and Graham sitting on the couch watching what looked like MTV. They all look up at us and their eyes widen. "Woah, baby sister you look good," Carter said looking over Willow. "Yeah, Will you look amazing," Landon said. "Aww look at my baby," Graham said standing up and walking towards us. He pinches her cheeks and kisses her head. "You're growing up so fast."

Willow plushes and tightens her grip on my hand.

"We'll be back before midnight," I said pulling Willow towards the door. She stops where they kept some of their shoes in a box. She rummages through the dirty shoes looking for something. "Should I wear some sneakers?" She asked picking up some white converse. I shake my head and look around the messy floor. (I swear this family just kept random shit on their floor and anywhere.) "Here," I pick up some pink flats that I've seen her wear with some of her skirts and dresses. "These will look nice with your outfit."

She smiles and takes the shoes from my hands. "Thank you, Darry," She said putting the shoes on.

I take Carter's keys off the hook. He told me I could borrow the car when I had asked him earlier. I grab Willow's hand and walk outside. I open the door for her and she gets in mumbling a thank you as she did. I get in and start up the car. We start driving but I pull over to the sign of the road.

"Where is the party again?" I asked turning to Willow. She blushes and bites her lip. "Wherever Amber's house is," She said. "Yeah, I know where that is," I said pulling away and heading towards Amber's home.

Once we get to Amber's house it was filled with a bunch of cars and drunk teenagers.

Willow gets out with a huge smile on her face. I grab her hand and lead her inside the packed house. The music hurts my ears and I instantly feel uncomfortable being in the house. I wrap my arms around her shoulders. "I fucking hate this," I whisper in her ear.

She smiles at me and tugs on my coat. "It'll be fun," She said over the loud music. I roll my eyes and walk us to where the drinks were. I saw a lot of alcohol and I knew that Willow wasn't going to be having any of these. "Baby, want some cranberry juice," I said picking up the juice. She smiles and nods her head. I pour the juice into a red cup and hand it to her. "Thank you," She said.

I take an alcohol drink and drink some of it.

"Daire Frost?" I hear the annoying voice of Lonnie behind me. She walks up behind me and runs her long fingernails behind my back. I step away from her in disgust. "Please Lonnie keep your fucking hands away from me," I say to her in a low voice.

Her smile falters a little but she keeps trying. "But I was thinking we head up to the master bedroom and spend the night with each other." She said pushing up her exposed boobs. "I have wine and chocolates prepared. And I even bought something from victoria's secret earlier just for you."

Maybe a few months ago I would have accepted her offer. But now I could care less about that bullshit. Lonnie and I had slept with each other once before and it was okay. But now looking at Lonnie's large breast and lip fillers which I'm 100% sure she's not legally allowed to have, she no longer fitted my desires.

"Nah I'm good," I said taking a sip from my drink.

Lonnie stands there shocked for a second. She huffs and walks away.

"You should have gone with her," Willow said looking down at her drink. I could tell she was upset and I had a feeling why. "No I will rather be here with you, Will," I said. She smiles shyly at me.

For the next 40 minutes, I don't leave Willow's side. Most of the time we would play some of those dumb party games. Or just sat drinking some drinks. I didn't want to drink too much since I had to get Willow home safely. I had also met some guys outside and had some smokes with them. But I made sure Willow was in eye distance from me.

We were currently sitting down on Amber's couch. I had my arm wrapped around Willow's shoulder and her leg rested on mine. We were watching some card game that was happening in front of us. I watch as Willow yawns and lays her head on my shoulder. "Getting tired, babe?" I asked moving some hair from her face. "Yeah a little bit," She said looking up at me with those adorable hazel eyes.

"You bitch," I hear Lonnie yell behind me.

Everyone stops what they are doing and turns to look at her. Her face was red and she looked a mess with her hair turned into a bird's nest and her make-up all smudge. She had no shoes on and her hands were balled into fists.

"You fucking lied to me," She said her attention fully on Willow.

Willow grabs ahold of my coat and hides her face behind. "He was supposed to be mine but you have to be a slut and steal him from me." She walks closer to us and I stand in between them. "Lonnie fuck off you're drunk," I growled at her. She sobs. "How can I, you are supposed to be mine." She then laughs a humorless laugh. "But of course, Willow wants to be a slut and steal you from me." She shoves at my chest which doesn't do much to affect me.

I glare at her but once again her attention was on Willow. "He's supposed to be mine," She yells. At this point, everyone had gone quiet and everyone's attention was on Lonnie.

"Lonnie chill," Amber said grabbing ahold of her friend. But Lonnie only glares at her and shoves her to the ground. Everyone gasps at this. They were best friends and they have never gotten into an altercation before. "Babe," Troy said and ran over to where Amber sat shocked at Lonnie's actions. He helps her up and hugs her close to his chest. "Get the fuck out my way bitch," Lonnie said looking back at Amber.

"No you fucking move," I told her. She only smirks at me. "You turn me on so much Daire Frost," She said. She pushes past me and grabs a fist full of Willow's hair. She yanks hard making Willow scream out. She then throws her to the floor and starts scratching and punching Willow. All Willow could do was scream out.

I saw red at that moment and grab Lonnie. I shove her away from Willow and straddle her. She giggles and pushes her hip up towards me. But I ignore her and wrap my hands around her neck. She gasps but I tighten my grip. "You fucking whore," I said to her starting slamming her head against the wooden floor. She gasps but I could care less at her purple face. I punch her square in the nose and a gush of blood splurts out.

People were screaming around me but I tone them out. People were begging and pleading for me to stop, that I was going to kill her. But I could care less if the whore died or not. All I saw was my mother in Lonnie's cold blue eyes. And I wanted nothing more than to end that woman's life.

"Daire, please stop," That one voice made me freeze at my action. I slowly let go of Lonnie's neck and stand up from my position on top of her. I turn towards Willow and see her holding her nose. Blood was clearly running down at her hand and she refused to look down at it.

"Baby," I said walking to her but she steps away from me. "Baby, you're bleeding," I said looking around the room and saw a random shirt on the ground. I grab it and cover her nose with it. She takes the shirt from me. "I think I'm going to be sick," She mumbles.

"You fucking psycho," Amber yelled at me.

I turn to her with a burning rage in my eyes. She freezes and backs away from me.

I turn back to Willow and gently grab her shoulder. She was shaking and could barely look me into the eyes. "I'm sorry, bud," I whisper to her. "But she was hurting you and I don't know what came over me. She reminded," I pause. "Of my mom."

Willow looks at me with glossy eyes. "I wanna go home," She mumbles. I nod and take her outside towards the car.

We drive to her home in silence and once we get there she hops out of the car not bothering to wait for me. She runs to the house and unlocks the door and rushes inside.

I sigh and bang my hands on the steering wheel. I run my hand through my hair and get out.

I walk inside and see the room empty. I walk by Carter's room and hear two people snoring, knowing Landon and Carter were fast asleep inside. I walk inside Willow's room to see her sobbing on the floor near her bed. She had a rag over her nose trying to stop the bleeding.

"Bud, I'm so sorry," I said crouching down to her. I wrap my arms around her and pull her close to my chest. She continues to sob and I rub her back. "I'm sorry," I say that over and over again. She sighs and pushes herself away from me. "I know you were only trying to protect me but that was very scary Daire," She says wiping her eyes. "You could have killed her." She sniffles and takes the rag away from her nose and gags as she looks at it. "I'm going to throw up."

"Please don't baby," I said petting her head.

I look down at her trembling lips and brush my thumb against them. "You are so beautiful," I said leaning in. I softly place my lips on her expecting her to push me away but she doesn't. She wraps her arms around my neck and deepens the kiss. I move in slow motion and place my hand in the back of her head.

I pull away with a sigh and rub my thumb across her cheeks. "I didn't want to go with Lonnie because I wanted to go with you baby," I sigh kissing her lips again. This time she pulls away and looks at me in shock. "What?" She asked. I chuckle at her cuteness and peck her lips. "I want to be you, Willow." She once again pulls away from me. "Like boyfriend and girlfriend want?" I chuckle and nod my head. "I want to be your boyfriend, Willow Aburn."

She looks at me with eyes. She tries to say something but it comes out in sputters. I chuckle and tuck her hair behind her ears. "It's okay if you don't want to baby, I understand."

She shakes her head and grabs my shirt and pulls me to her lips.

When she pulls away she grins at me. "I would love to be your girlfriend, Daire Frost." She kisses me again with a lot of passion. And I knew this girl would be the death of me.
