"What the fuck just happened?!" Em screams as she runs through the back door

"The asshole guy from Mistbrook decided to visit" I huff in response

"I saw he was-going to hit you but you-and you" she says at a loss for words looking at Caleb and I

"Em I'm fine, He's fine, and the only one who's not fine is that guy, now could you please get ice packs for both of us, my right had has started throbbing and my knuckles are turning purple" I ask calmly as Caleb and I both look at our bruised hands

"Oh right I got it" she nods running back into the house

"Come on I have to wipe the blood off you're hand" I say, pulling him inside by his non bloody hand

After we walk over to the sink I jump up on the counter so I'm sitting next to the sink and in front of him before I flick on the faucet. After putting his hand under the cold water, wetting both his hands and a paper towel, I set his hand on my thigh and gently start wiping the Now dried blood off. I feel goosebumps form where his hand is but ignore them as heat finds its way to my cheeks.

"You know I could do this myself" he says

"Yeah" I shrug wiping some of the blood off with a rag

"I thought you were mad at me" he questions, earning a scoff from me

"Oh I am, I'm pissed. You're a dick." I state simply "but it doesn't mean I'm not going to help you" I grumble quietly

"You have blood on your leg" he says with a smirk

I look down and chuckle lightly when I see the little Splatter of blood on my other thigh

"I blame you" I grumble. I was still pissed at him.

"What how was that my fault" he scoffs

"You were the one who made him bleed when it wasn't even necessary, I had everything handled." I snap at him, I had it handled and I didn't need him to jump in for me.

"Do you really think I wasn't going to hit him? Seriously? He was literally about to fucking punch you Belle! What was I supposed to do, just stand there and let you get hurt?" He stares at me with fiery eyes.

"I don't need you to defend me! Especially after earlier, I don't need your help." I say finally looking back down at his hand.

"And you're insane if you think I'm not going to help you, I said I was sorry for earlier, you know I didn't mean it like that!" he snaps

"Whatever Caleb, I'm done talking about this" I state push his hand off my leg, done cleaning the blood off.

"Belle can you please just look at me?" He questions defeat in his voice as he rests both his hands on either side of me "I never wanted to make you upset."

"Caleb I don't want to talk okay?" I question looking directly into his sad amber eyes. Our faces were close as he leaned down on his hands that were on either side of me. Something flashed in his eyes before returning to the sad ones that I'm almost positive mirrored mine.

"Princess-" he starts to say, hus voice strained but much deeper than it had been. I wonder if his heart was beating as fast as mine was at the closeness.

"Oh my god Belle! Are you okay?!" Beck says as he Arrex and Ace run into the kitchen

Caleb jumps away from me, snapping his hands away as he turn towards my brothers.

"I could feel the fuckin ache in my hand, what did you do?" He questions,walking over to me to inspect my hand.

"We're fine" I nod

"But- but Em said the guy was going to hit you and-and he-" Ace starts to ramble

"Ace shut up, we're fine" I cut him off before he. An ramble anymore

"Why do you have blood on your leg?" Colton questions

"Caleb went overboard" I tell them, gesturing to Caleb who was grinning at them proudly. It wasn't a real grin, his eyes didn't light up like they normally did. God, why do I even care? I'm supposed to still be mad at him.

"Who was it? Williams?" Arrex questions Caleb who nods in response

"Good he's a fucking dick" Arrex scoffs

"Here I got you two ice packs" Em says,coming in from the garage

I lift my right hand to see it's now purple, swollen and I can't move my fingers

"Belle your hand is broken," Caleb says, as he takes my hand to examine it

"I'm fine," I state harshly as I snap my hand away from his.

"You need to go to the hospital, could need a cast" he says, slightly clinching from my reaction. He knew I was pissed, I wasn't even trying to hide it anymore.

"No I don't" I tell him

"You both need to go to the hospital, you both broke your hand" Arrex and Emma both snap

"No I'm fine" Caleb says,

"No let's go, I'll drive" Arrex says grabbing his keys

"And do not take the ice packs off your hands" Beck orders

"Yes mom" I roll my eyes, making Caleb laugh lightly

"GUYS WE'RE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!" Arrex yells down to the guys in the basement

"OKAY SEE YOU LATER!" Tyler yells back

------

"Caleb Archer Kazer!" I hear Kay's familiar shrill through the ER waiting room

"Hehe...Archer" I mumble, obviously

amused at the 'middle name's declaration. You knew Kay was pissed when she got the middle name out.

"Whatever Ryanne!" He mocks me, while sending a quick glare before his mom approaches

"Caleb what the hell?!" Kay Yells at him

"Hi mama" he smiles sweetly at her

"Oh do not 'hi mama' me, you're in some deep shit" she snaps at him before turning to me

"Bailey Ryanne! What the hell did you two do?! I was called away from a patient only to hear my son and friends were here?!" She continues to yell at us, not caring about those around us

"Okay we can explain, can we just go back into a room?" Caleb questions

"You better have a good explanation as to why you two went fuckin Bonnie and Clyde mode" she scoffs as we are pushed through a door and lead into a back examination room

"Okay speak" her authoritarian voice coming through as Caleb and I sit side by side on the hospital bed

"Okay so last night at the football game, there was a guy, and he was playing dirty. Like super dirty. He had a hit so bad that one of our kids won't be able to play for the next two weeks. then in the last quarter, there was a clear pass interefecance and he hit Beck, hard. it was a pretty bad hit, all of us thought he had a concussion at least. So I kinda lost my marbles and freaked out" I start before Caleb jumps in

"Long story short, after a lot of yelling from her, they reviewed the play and eventually called it a pass interference. The kid, Williams, ended up getting suspended." He finished

"So now tonight we are at a party for the team and their win, and I was minding my own business, eating my chips and talking with friends when I hear a loud crash from outside" I say, it was true, I was just enjoying my chips!

"That crash was obviously me. Williams had decided to show up. He was just there to start shit. So he comes in, immediately spots me and starts spouting off shit about me, the guys and Belle. I got pissed and got in his face, and that's when Belle came in" Caleb says animatedly, using his hands to add emphasis

"So me being the very slightly intoxicated person, decided to step between them, literally. I tried to diffuse the situation" I lie slightly, at first I tried to get him to leave but if anything I egged Williams on more "Williams called me a bitch, I essentially called him a pussy, to which he replied that he wasn't afraid to hit a girl. Caleb threatened to hospitalize him and crush his windpipe, I said I wasn't afraid to hit back, he went to hit me, I punched him twice and then as he was going to retaliate Caleb stopped him before I could" I spit out impressively fast

Kay looked to Arrex and Caleb for confirmation and nodes

"You really threatened to crush his windpipe?" Kay grins at her son

"Uh- yeah I kinda did" he scratches the back of his neck nervously with a small grin on his face.

Kay just nods before turning back to me, taking my injured hand in hers

"Yeah you did you punch him" Kay grins, taking my hand to examine it "You definitely have a fractured knuckle possibly wrist"

"That's exactly what I told her! But miss Stubborn ass over here didn't listen" Caleb rolls his eyes

"Okay well you two, just sit here, I have to get back to a patient, but the doctor will be here in a few." She says to us before turning to Arrex

"please make sure Bonnie and Clyde don't get into any more trouble or kill each other"

Arrex just laughs and nods his head before she leaves.

"Okay I gotta call dad, I'll be back in a bit" arex says "Do not leave this room" he adds before stepping out.

It was silent for a minute before Caleb's voice breaks through.

"Princess?" He says quietly

Not really wanting to talk to him, I lay down and close my eyes slightly

"Belle seriously, please listen"

"What Caleb? I know, I'm APPERNETLY undateable and shit, you don't have to rub it in" I say tiredly, I was just tired of this night. The adrenaline and the alcohol are both starting to wear off.

"I'm really sorry" he says sadly as I feel him lay beside me

"It's whatever Caleb," I huff, still mad at him and not really wanting to talk to him

I open my eyes to see him staring back at me

"No it's not, I hate it when you're pissed, especially when it's toward me" he pleads, sadness in his eyes

"Well maybe you shouldn't be a dick" I retort, the anger I felt earlier coming back

"I know I fucked up. What I said wasn't true in that aspect by any means. You're fucking amazing. You have no idea princess." He states before in pulling me up to face him having no choice but to look as t him

"Any guy would be lucky to have you, it's just with Dallas. He's not a good guy. He's a douche and doesn't care about anyone besides himself." He says as he gently pushes a strand of hair out of my face "please just know, I'm just trying to look out for you. I understand if you're still pissed though. I know I could've said it a lot better but it just kinda came out"

"You're always looking out for me" I roll my eyes. I didn't need a protector, I never have. I have always been able to take care of myself and I will continue to do so.

"Always" Caleb nods

"Thats the thing, I don't need you to! I am perfectly capable of handling myself." I reason, my voice rising slightly. "With Dallas, you're always a dick to him! And then this! I don't need protection, I'm perfectly capable of defending myself and handling whatever shit is thrown at me. I always have been, and always will."

"Belle remember in eighth grade when I was looking at Leah Martinez' ass and made some smartasses remark?"

"Yeah I smacked you across the face." I grin at the memory, I had slapped him hard as hell for that. He was being his usual douchebag self and Leah was a nice person.

"Yeah, hard as hell" he grins before continuing "I knew then that I wouldn't HAVE to protect you, you're a little badass. But I'm still going to. Every single time, I'm going to be there to back you up when needed" he states sincerely.

"But-" I start to argue before he cuts me off with a shake of his head.

"You can't argue with me in this one princess, I will outstubborn you any day on this. I gotta have my Bonnie's back. Always." He holds his hand out that I care fully take

"Yeah okay Clyde" I roll my eyes as he pulls me up so I was now sitting on the edge of the bed, with him standing in front of me

"Forgive me?" He smiles While leaning in to look down at me, resting his hands on either side of my legs, mirroring the position we were in an hour before in the kitchen.

"I guess" I huff "but seriously, I can handle myself Co, please don't do or say anything to Dallas about this. Please?"

"I promise I won't do or say anything to him about this" he states, holding out his pinky's "pinky promise"

"Pinky promise" I smile at him,linking my much smaller pinky with his.

He smiles down at me but I see his eyes glance down cause a small laugh o erupt from my throat.

"Kazer, stop looking at my chest before I kick you in the dick" I laugh as I lightly push him away, though doesn't move much. His hands stay planted on either side of me. No matter how bad we fight, he'll still find a way to make me laugh. Its something I loved about him.

"I'm sorry, I just ca-" he starts to say with a devious smirk

"Don't finish that sentence Kazer" I say making him laugh

"Okay fine, but I wasn't looking at your chest princess" he grins

"Hello?" I hear from the door as another person walks in. He looked very professional but the playful grin he was wearing proved otherwise. "Nice to see you again Caleb" he smiles at Caleb

I look at him with a questioning look on my face to which he replies with a slight shake of the head and a grin.

"So what happened this time?" Our Doctor questions

"Okay I swear it wasn't my fault and it's my right hand this time so it's fine." Caleb smiles proudly as he holds up his right Arm

"Oh by the way, I'm Dr.Hannon," the doctor smiles at me

"I'm Belle" I smile offering my non-injured hand

"So you're the famous Belle I've heard so much about?" He says smirking over at Caleb who just rolls his eyes

I glance at Caleb while Dr.Hannon starts to examine his hand.

"He's worked with mom for years" Caleb slightly winces as Dr.Hannon pushes on his wrist.

"Yep, and have also been repairing the product of his fights for years" Hannon mumbles making me grin. I've heard stories of Dr.Hannon, he was Caleb's favorite doctor.

"Okay Caleb, I think you just have a slightly sprained wrist, I'm still going to send you for an x-ray just to be sure" he tells Caleb before turning to me "Are you a fighter like him?" He questions with a grin

The funny thing about this is, I hated fighting. With a passion. Of course I knew how to defend myself but I've hated fighting since I was little. Zach and Ryan would come home constantly bruised and bloodied, of course they usually won the fight couldn't stand to see my friends and family hurt. But he hurt my brother.

"She actually hates fighting" Caleb chimes

"I do" I grin at Dr.Hannon "this was just one special occurrence that was going to end in a fight either way, and I just rather it's me fighting than anyone else"

"So what did you guys do?" Hannon questions as he presses on each of my knuckles

"Well there was this guy, about same build as Caleb, threatened to hit me, so I hit him

begore he could" I shrug simply "then he jumped in after to got two punches in and took over"

"Well let's just say you hit hard as hell, I can tell just based on the bruising and breaks"

"What?! Breaks?! As in multiple?" I say, my voice rising

"I can feel two to be exact, there might be more though so you are also being sent for an x-ray"

"Oh what the hell" I pout as I lay back on the bed beside Caleb "he punches him 20 times and gets a 'mild sprain'" I immitate the Hannon, making Caleb laugh before continuing "but I lunch him twice and break my hand in multiple places"

"Okay I don't appreciate that mockage" Hannon jokes with a laugh "but can I just say how perfect you two are for eachother,"

Hannon grins and sends a pointed look to Caleb before I can refute anything

"Oh uh no- Never. Ever" I laugh awkwardly "he's an asshole"

"She's a bitch" Caleb reasons

"Well it sure didn't look like it when I walked in" Hannon chuckles before walking out

"Well princess, apperently we're perfect for eachother" He teases as he pokes my shoulder, trying to annoy me "I mean I already-"

"Shut it Kazer" I retort with a 'hmph' before slumping back onto the bed

"I'm tired"

"Well I don't think they'd appreciate it if you fell asleep in the x-ray table" he chuckles as he lays beside me. "You can sleep on the ride home"

"Okay" I sigh before opening my eyes once again "this is going to be a long night"

"Yep"
