Watch Your Heart
Chapter 9
Olivia's POV*
I couldn't move. I just saw my family cowering in the corner to Ben who was standing over them with a machete.
"Please! Don't kill my family! Kill me instead!" My father said pushing my mom and two sisters behind them.
"Too late." Ben grinned evilly
A door slammed shut and Shay pulled Ben away.
"STAY AWAY FROM THEM. THEY DID NOTHING TO YOU BEN KEEP THEM OUT OF THIS." she screamed and he backhanded her.
"Silly Shay... I find it amusing you think you're strong." he walked towards her.
"Sadly, you aren't leg strong," he stabbed her in both thighs, she howled in pain. "You have no muscles," Ben took the machete and sliced her arms open. "And,you've got no guts." he proceeded to shove the knife into her abdomen and twisted it around until she fell, lifeless, onto the floor.
"Nighty night." he said as he killed off my family one by one.
Ben turned to me and got in my face.
"See you soon, sweet cheeks."
I woke up gasping for air and screaming at the top of my lungs. I started to cough up a lung and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Liv! What happened, are you ok?!" Johnny screamed running to me.
I couldn't speak, no matter how hard I tried. The only noise that came out of my mouth was an ear-splitting shriek and sobs.
"Kylie! We need you!" Matt screamed as he ran in my room with the Berry's, Jimmy and Zachy.
Before Kylie got to me, I was already out the door. I was sprinting as fast as I could. I ran down the dark, empty streets like my life depended on it. It looked about 2 am.
I made it to an alley and sat on the floor with my back against the wall. I cried my eyes out.
"Olivia..." I heard somebody say walking towards me. I was glad Johnny found me. But when I looked up it wasn't Johnny, it was the person who caused this hell. Ben.
"Go away." I said glancing at him with hatred.
"What if I don't. What if I stay. And kill you?" he said pressing a blade against my face.
I just leaned back and looked away until he grabbed me by my hair and pushed the knife closer, drawing blood.
"Nobody can save you now." he said with an evil smile.
He kept pressing the blade against my skin, harder and harder, until a drunk man stumbled over to us.
"H-hey *hic* are you from heaven *hic* cuz you're the only ten I see *hic*"
"Get lost you drunk." Ben spat at him.
I took advantage of this distraction and kicked Ben in the balls as hard as I could.
"Agh! YOU BITCH!" he screamed running after me.
I ran as fast as I could down the street. I finally saw a familiar face. Thank god.
"Liv?" Johnny asked slowing down a little.
"Thank god you're here." I said tears brimming my cheeks.
"Liv, your face" he said looking at my face and I just wrapped my arms around him and held on for dear life.
"There you are, you little whore!" Ben shouted nearing us. I winced upon hearing his voice and whimpered.
"You stay away from Liv." Johnny warned putting his hand over his gun.
"Or what?" he sneered and Johnny pushed me behind him and he pulled out his gun pointing it at Ben.
"I'll blow your fucking brains out." he said with a pissed tone.
Ben started to put his hands up but when Johnny lowered his gun, Ben threw the knife into his shoulder and ran off.
"Oh my god! Johnny!" I screamed as he fell to the floor.
I ran over to him and put his head on my lap. That's when I realized I only had a shirt and panties on. Awkward. I pushed that thought out of my head and focused on Johnny.
"Oh god. How deep is it?" I asked waving my hand over the blade that was in his shoulder.
"It's not that bad. I'll be fine as long as your safe." he said trying to calm me down.
I leaned down and kissed his forehead.
"This is gonna hurt." I warned him and he just closed his eyes.
I grabbed the handle of the knife firmly and yanked it out. Johnny cried out in pain.
"Don't worry. I can fix you up." I said running my fingers over his cheek.
I took off my shirt and wrapped it around his shoulder tight. Thank god I wore a bra. He just smiled at me.
"I'm feeling better already!" he said looking at my barely covered body.
"Johnny!" I smacked his chest, "Anyways, where are we?"
"About 20 minutes away from the house..." he said slowly getting up.
"Are they worried?" I asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe." he answered taking of his leather jacket. "Here, there are a lot if perverts around at this time." He put the jacket on me and we walked down the street.
"So what happened back there?" he asked snaking his arm around my shoulder.
My spine ran cold. "Just... a nightmare." I trailed off.
"Liv, I know an anxiety attack when I see one."
"Ok, ok. I had another attack. It got really bad and I usually don't show it that much. But, tonight I snapped." I finished with a sigh.
"I want you to stay with me tonight." he said bluntly.
"Ok, just don't tell Kylie about my anxiety or she'll just search my room for blades again."
"Blades? Again?" he questioned.
"Never mind." I said quickly.
Fuck. Now he's gonna start to ask questions. The last thing I need is another person riding my ass about my cutting. Ugh.
We finally got home and everybody was by the door staring at me silently.
"I'm back" was all I said then I just walked upstairs and got different pajamas then walked into Johnny's room he was in there with the twins getting his shoulder checked out.
"You did a good job with removing the knife and applying pressure to the wound." Jason said as he handed me a two bottles of pills.
"What are these for?" I asked.
"Well, one is for Johnny's shoulder. He always forgets so I thought you could remind him." he chuckled. "And this one is for your anxiety." he whispered the last part.
I just put the bottles in Johnny's bathroom, cleaned up my face, and crawled onto his bed.
"Thank you for going after me." I whispered to Johnny as he pulled me to his chest.
"Thank you for giving me something to go after." he whispered back to me.
I put my forehead on his and smiled.
"I love your smile." he kissed my cheek.
"I love your lips." I kissed him right back.
"I love your affection." he said staring into my eyes.
"I love your heart." I stared right back.
He leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't rough or hard. It was soft and passionate. I returned the kiss. We both sat there kissing until he broke it.
"It's almost three." he said awkwardly.
"I probably won't fall asleep anytime soon." I returned a little irritated.
"Then I'll stay awake with you" he smiled.
We resumed kissing until I finally dozed off in his arms. God, this kid will be the death of me.
I couldn't move. I just saw my family cowering in the corner to Ben who was standing over them with a machete.
"Please! Don't kill my family! Kill me instead!" My father said pushing my mom and two sisters behind them.
