Piece By Piece [Private RP — Closed]

Lucas’s POV:

Ashley gave me the directions to Sterling’s house, and in a few minutes, we were there in his street. I parked my car and got out, waiting for Ashley to join me.

Eden’s POV:

My eyes narrowed at the three girls that blocked my path. I was not in the mood for three princesses who wanted to stake a claim on something they wanted but couldn’t have.
I didn’t bother sticking around. With my hand in my pockets and my earphones in my ears, I continued walking, deliberately bumping my shoulder against the leader of the trio.
I didn’t know how stupid they were, but I could certainly say jealousy had clouded their minds. Had they been smart, they wouldn’t have challenged me.

Lucas’s POV:

I narrowed my eyes at Sterling, who looked incredibly confused at our appearance. I wouldn’t blame him, though.
“Can we talk?” I asked politely, knowing I’d get pinched by Ashley if I was rude.

Eden’s POV:

I looked at the girl, hardening my expressing, raising my chin to look at her with disdain.
“Unless you want yourself injured, I suggest you get out of my way,” I told her coldly. “You’re wasting my time.”

Lucas’s POV:

“What did you do to my little sister?” I demanded immediately, folding my arms. “I know you’ve been hanging out with her. What did you do to her?”

Eden’s POV:

My glare deepened. Who did these girls think they were?
“Either you’re brave, or you’re a bunch of fools,” I shook my head with a sigh. “Get out of my way. I won’t ask next time.”

Lucas’s POV:

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
“You don’t know, either?” I huffed in irritation. “She’s been acting really weird ever since she went out on Saturday. It’s worrying.”

Eden’s POV:

I sighed, moving forward and grabbing the girl’s arm, twisting it harshly behind her back.
“Here’s the thing, sweetheart,” I hissed in her ear. “I’m not afraid to break your toothpick of an arm. I’m certainly not afraid of sending you to the hospital. You show your faces to me ever again and I’ll make sure none of you have the courage to get out of your rooms ever again. Are we clear?”
I twisted it a little more just to prove my point. I knew I was being dramatic, but I didn’t care. I was tired and exhausted and I just wanted some peace, and if I had to hurt someone to do it, then so be it.

Lucas's POV:

I sighed.
"What exactly did you do, Sterling?"

Eden's POV:

I let go of the girl's arm with a small push, giving her another look of disdain before adjusting my back. I looked ahead and began walking again without a glance behind.
Those girls must have been new. Otherwise, they would have known the consequences of getting in my way. I wasn't cruel. I wasn't harsh. But to survive in a world filled with cruelty and harshness, you had to have something up your sleeve. I had my fists, Lucas had his brains, Ashley had her quick-wittedness.

Lucas's POV:

"I kissed her," Sterling mumbled, looking away from me. I first didn't know how to react. What do you do when you find out someone kissed your younger sister?
"You kissed her," I repeated. "You kissed her and she's acting like that."
It didn't make any sense. If Eden didn't want to be kissed, she would have flat out punched him in the face or would have injured him somehow. Yet, he was free of injuries. She wasn't upset because of the kiss…
I suddenly had a thought.
"What… did you say after you kissed her?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I was going to kill him if he said what I think he said.

Lucas’s POV:

“You… didn’t tell her it was a mistake, did you?” I asked slowly. “And you didn’t leave just like that, right?”

Lucas's POV:

I raised an eyebrow.
"Please don't tell me that's why you didn't go to school today," I sighed, hiding my face in my hands. "God, she probably thinks you regretted it." I lifted my face up and glared at Sterling. "Eden may seem like she's strong and she can handle it, but she can't. The second she starts getting attached to something, the more afraid she'll get, and it's more likely that she'll push you away. If you hurt her, Sterling, I swear I will gut you like a fish."

(Heal? :o)

Lucas's POV:

"I have a piece of advice," I leaned forward like I was going to deliver something amazing. "Eden is… very unpredictable. Good luck with her."

(Isn't it heel, though? :o)

Lucas's POV:

I grinned.
"Anytime, Sterling," I knew the information I provided wasn't helpful at all. I didn't care. He seemed genuine enough, but I wanted to mess with him since I probably wouldn't be able to later on. "If you ever need unhelpful advice, come to me. I know Eden like the back of my hand."
I heard Ashley faintly snort, but I ignored it.

(xD)

Lucas's POV:

"Um…" That actually was a good question. How could he make it up to her? Knowing Eden, she'd avoid him like her life depended on it. "I think what you should do is tell her that while you didn't mean it, you didn't regret it. She'll probably push you away, but she'll soften up soon. She'll be stubborn, so be patient with her."

Lucas's POV:

I looked at Ashley with an eyebrow raised.
"Do you want to add something to this…?"

Lucas's POV:

"Anyway," I stood up. "We'll be going now."

Lucas’s POV:

“I wanted to,” I admitted. “Ash stopped me. I’m pretty chill, but if my family gets hurt… well, I don’t like that. So take care of Eden.”

Lucas’s POV:

I nodded, and soon Ashley and I were driving back to get Ashley’s car.

Eden’s POV:

When I went home that day, it was empty. I was grateful. It meant my parents were at work, and Ashley and Lucas were out on their own. I had the house to myself.
Flopping down on the couch and grabbing the TV remote, I flipped it on and laid back. Unconsciously, I reached up to touch my lips, running my finger over the lower lip before I realized what I was doing.
I sighed, forcing myself to concentrate on show I’d just played.
